Chapter 170: Tearing the True Face
He turned around, faced Qu Youying, covered the mouths of the two with a fan, and asked in a low voice, "This king has lost a step this time, so naturally he can't suffer a dumb loss, so he needs your help." β
"Me?" Qu Youying blinked, kept some distance from him and asked, "I'm a poor girl, where can I help you?" β
"Let me take the thousand rhinos."
Qu Youying wanted to send him away, but before he could say anything, he heard his words, and his turning around movement stiffened so stiffly.
"Qianxi has left here a long time ago, and I don't know where she went, if you want to take it away, go find it yourself!"
"Xiaoying, it was for the sake of you and I who have known each other for so long that I informed you that Qianxi stayed here, far from being safe to stay by my side. If you don't want her to suffer again, let her come back to Beijing with me in this capacity, and at least I will make her the crown princess. β
If the previous conversation between the two was about tai chi, then this sentence is really to the point.
Even if Qu Youying wanted to hide something, by the time he said this, he couldn't do it anymore.
"How do you know?"
She is still very strange, what they do with this hand is seamless, and no outsider knows about the supreme residence that night, how can Jiang Tong know?
But Jiang Tong didn't answer her question, because the thousand rhinos in the room had already walked to the door.
She held on to the doorrail with one hand, looked at the two people at the door, and said expressionlessly, "I am willing to go with you." β
Qu Youying frowned, "Qianxi, you-"
"Xiaoying, I've been just Shui Junyu for the rest of my life."
She looked at the darkness in the sky, at the bright moon, and there was indescribable melancholy and sadness in her eyes.
Yes, since the moment she changed her face, she was destined to only be Shui Junyu.
Thousand rhinos, already dead.
Until Qu Youying returned to the Supreme Residence, she seemed to be able to hear and see Qianxi's last words and expression in her ears.
That thousand rhinos was so strange that it no longer smelled of people, but a cold statue.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? I've been worried since I came back. β
Yun Shu watched her walk around the room all the time, otherwise she leaned on the edge of the table and sighed, so she poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"You drink saliva first, it's windy outside tonight, why don't you rest early?"
"I can't sleep." Qu Youying held the teacup in both hands, stood in front of the window, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and was relieved after all, "By the way, I asked you to find Xie Xiaoer, did you find it?" β
"Nope."
Yun Shu shook his head, after knowing that Qianxi came back today, Qu Youying ordered her to inform Xie Xiaoer, at least let him relax, but Yun Shu did not find Xie Xiaoer in the Supreme Residence, and went to look for it elsewhere, and the result was the same.
"Then don't look for it, I probably know where he's gone."
"Where did you go?"
"Since he has been looking for Qianxi, then the appearance of Qianxi today must have spread throughout the entire Shuifu, and he will also know that with his temperament, he must have infiltrated Qianxi's side. I'm only worried that if he knows that Qianxi will follow Jiang Tong away, he will be irritated again. β
"But now there are two young ladies in Shuifu? Why did you have to take away the Thousand Rhinos? After all, Shui Wuyue is the daughter of Shuifu! β
Qu Youying looked at the moon and sighed.
"I already had doubts about Shui Wuyue, but after today's events, I am even more sure in my heart that Shuifu is no longer the Shuifu of the past, and the remaining two young ladies, no matter who becomes the crown princess, will not change the final purpose. With Jiang Tong's temperament, instead of putting a poison by his side, it is better to find a chess piece that can help him. And since Shuifu wants fame and status, no matter what is inside, the result is the same. β
Yun Shu heard it in a fog, she frowned, and said incomprehensibly, "I seem to be a little confused." But I know one thing. β
"What do you know?"
Qu Youying turned her head to look at her with a smile.
"Miss Thousand Rhino is back in Shuifu now, but the person who hurt her before hasn't appeared, so will she do it again?"
"Don't worry about this, since Jiang Tong has made a decision, Xie Xiaoer may also be there, and he will not allow the same thing to happen a second time." Qu Youying lowered her head and took a sip of the tea that was cooled by the wind, and then closed the doors and windows. β
"Not that exaggerated, right?"
Yun Shu didn't believe it, but Qu Youying just smiled, she sat for a while, didn't wait for Mu Jingzhu to come back, and fell asleep and rested under Yun Shu's service.
Outside, dark clouds surged, covering the original bright moonlight, casting a layer of indelible fog over the night.
A soft sound of "click" came from the window, and Qu Youying was not asleep, so when that sound sounded, she instantly looked over there.
After a while, a dark figure jumped into the room from outside, and then slowly approached the bed.
Qu Youying held the quilt in one hand, squinted, and tightly held the dagger under the pillow with the other.
When the man approached, she instantly drew her dagger and struck it directly.
Because the blade of the dagger was black, there would be no reflection in such a black night, and with the cover of shadows, if someone hadn't known that she had this thing in advance, she would have been hit by a blow.
But the other party knew, and accurately held her hand holding the dagger, and whispered, "Xiaoying, it's me." β
Qu Youying was stunned, "Master? β
Dark clouds drifted by outside the window, revealing a moonlight shining on his body, and it was that familiar face.
Qu Youying was angry all of a sudden, she sat up from the bed, raised her hand and slapped him hard, hitting him unceremoniously.
"Master, what the hell are you doing? I won't see you for a while, I'll pretend to be King Yi for a while, do you know that I've been looking for you. β
"Yes!" Xi Fengyi sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, not feeling that he had done anything wrong at all, and said very knowingly, "I know that you learned about the events of the year from Shui Wuyue, and then you want to ask me to make a testimony and ask for understanding." β
Qu Youying was startled and grabbed his sleeve, "So, is that really true?" β
"All I can say is that most of it is true, but there are some places that have been altered like that fake seal."
Qu Youying heard this, and immediately said, "Sure enough, Shui Wuyue is not credible." β
Xi Fengyi smiled, "Why are you sure that what she said can't be believed?" Maybe she was deceived too? β
"I thought so before, but today when Qianxi appeared and said that it was her who was going to burn the fire, I figured it out." Qu Youying raised her head, looked at the darkness in front of her, and said word by word, "Shui Wuyue didn't look for anyone to replace her at all, and her attitude towards people changed in private before and after, in fact, she wanted me to believe her words more easily." In fact, from beginning to end, she has always been in Shuifu. It's just to trick me into taking the bait, so they use a story with mixed truth and falsehood to deceive me. The purpose is for me to help her succeed in becoming the crown princess. It's a pity that Qianxi appeared today, and it messed up her calculations. And the head of the house has not been selected today, judging from their previous cooperation, before the official announcement of everyone tomorrow, tonight is the last meeting. β
Xi Fengyi leaned lazily on the bed, listening to her words, her eyelids didn't jump and asked, "Then why are you still sleeping here?" β
"Jing Zhu didn't come back so late, and Jiang Tong chose to help this time, so what else do you need me to do?"
"But you haven't slept so late, in your heart, you're actually still very worried, right?"
"So what? At least I believe in them, they won't let me down, and the people around me will also be protected. β
When Qu Youying said this, she found a problem, she grabbed Xi Fengyi's wrist and looked up at him sideways.
"You are staring at the teacher so much, do you find that the teacher is very handsome?"
"I have two questions that I want you to answer me."
Seeing that she was so serious, Xi Fengyi's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, which was regarded as agreement.
"First, my mother really participated in the affairs of Shuifu back then? also helped Yingying, that is, the old lady now, to sit firmly in that position? β
Xi Fengyi said without thinking, "Yes." β
"She believes so much that the old lady really passed on the position of the prince of Shuifu to Yingying, and she was not coerced at all?"
"So you still think it's true that Shui Wuyue told you that night?"
Qu Youying didn't speak, because if the real old lady really did that, he should have died a long time ago.
"Do you remember the corpse you first came to Shuifu?"
Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, and her brain didn't react in time, "Remember, what's wrong?" β
"The corpse, you first found out that the man's legs had been broken for at least thirty years. And the original truth is that Ying Ying really broke her legs for the old lady, and the old lady's legs are intact. β
"So-" Qu Youying's eyes widened in an instant, "So the current old lady is-"
"Yes." Xi Fengyi patted her hand that was gradually clenching, and gave her a sure answer, "It's true." Here's how it happenedβ"
In fact, back then, the old lady really wanted to give her face to Yingying, but Xin Niang felt that there were still doubts about it, so she only asked Xi Fengyi to change Yingying's appearance, so that Yingying thought that they had changed their faces, and then Xi Fengyi left, but in fact, she was secretly investigating.
Xin Niang also took the opportunity to help Ying Ying according to the old lady's instructions, and it was not until Ying Ying got what she deserved and gradually revealed the fox tail that Xin Niang grabbed her handle.
After Lao Taijun learned the truth, she still didn't want to kill Yingying, so she asked Xin Niang to hand over the person to her, and then Xin Niang and Xi Fengyi left.
"So the old lady is still the old lady. So the one who died was Yingying? Qu Youying muttered, still a little unconvinced, "But Qianxi found that she wasn't that old, her handsβ"
"There are things that are necessary camouflage. On the surface, no one said anything about the incident in Shuifu, but behind the scenes, because there was no family master, several masters still had doubts in their hearts. Even if they don't have the heart to become the head of the family, then what about their children, at least Shui Wuze will definitely not give up. β
"Then why not Mizutomi? He has been disliked by the old lady since he was a child, and he lives in the old mansion, if he is unwilling, he must be-"
Qu Youying said this, and she stopped.
Because if Mizutomi really lives in the old mansion because of other people's mustard for him, then he will definitely know many secrets that exist in the old mansion.
The old lady named him to live in the old mansion, and there was nothing else but trust.
Xi Fengyi watched his apprentice ponder, did not disturb, and kept leaning on the bed leisurely, the moonlight shining in the wisps, at that moment, it seemed very quiet.
"Second question." Qu Youying suddenly raised her head and said, "With your temperament, if you don't go to Shuifu tonight, what are you doing here?" β
