Feng Qingge pondered. Suddenly she asked something off-topic: "What was the name of the song the Queen played just now?"
Why are you suddenly talking about music?
Because Feng Qingge's thinking was too fast, Xue Xichen couldn't figure out Feng Qingge's thoughts for a while. She answered truthfully: "In response to the emperor's words, this song is called "Linjiang Fairy"."
""Linjiang Fairy"..." Silently muttering these three words, Feng Qingge said, "The queen plays the song very well. I have never heard of it. If the queen has nothing else to do, she just goes with me. "
Xue Xichen blinked her eyes and intuitively felt that the purpose of "walking" mentioned by Feng Qingge was definitely not simple. She was afraid that she would reveal her fault, so she tried to find a way to evade it. "Don't the emperor still want to discuss government affairs with Mr. Xiao? It is not convenient for me to disturb you..."
"It doesn't matter. It's the same as leaving it to Qingfei and the others."
There was a completely trusting tone during the conversation. However, Xue Xichen felt that it was more like Feng Qingge had given up on everything and was unwilling to do anything again.
Xue Xichen looked at Mu Qingfei. Mu Qingfei noticed Xue Xichen's gaze. He looked at her and smiled calmly. "It's nothing serious. Queen, don't worry. Qingfei will take care of it."
Xue Xichen frowned. As the prime minister, he shouldn't have urged Feng Qingge to put national affairs first. But instead, Mu Qingfei turned around and encouraged Feng Qingge to be "lazy".
Really, there are ministers just like the emperor.
"I, my concubine, obey your decree."
She had no choice but to agree. Although she didn't want to be alone with Feng Qingge at all, let alone have too much contact with Feng Qingge.
There is a way: not to see, not to hear, not to be moved.
Once you see it, hear it, feel it, you will inevitably get confused.
Xue Xichen followed Feng Qingge and took two steps. Behind her came Xiao Liuyue's joking words, "Queen, please don't forget our agreement."
Xue Xichen clearly saw that Feng Qingge's steps were slightly stagnant and her back was stiff. She twitched her eyebrows and pretended to be indifferent as she answered Xiao Liuyue. "Young Master Xiao, it's just a discussion over tea. As long as the Emperor agrees, I will do it myself." Please accompany me."
Xiao Liuyue didn't mind that Xue Xichen deliberately misinterpreted his meaning. He followed her words and said, "That's it. I will wait in my humble residence to welcome the Queen."
Xue Xichen replied quietly: "I will go there when I have free time."
Seeing Feng Qingge taking steps again, Xue Xichen breathed a sigh of relief. She was secretly glad that Feng Qingge had not heard the conversation between her and Xiao Liuyue just now.
Although Feng Biqing and Xiao Liuyue had already figured out her identity, she was absolutely unwilling to let Feng Qingge also see through her identity.
What would Feng Qingge do if he knew she was Xue Xichen?
Xue Xichen didn't want to imagine.
No matter what, now, she just wants to concentrate on playing her Xue Meitong.
It seems that she has forgotten that Xue Xichen is Xue Meitong. Xue Meitong is Xue Xichen.
…
After walking out of the Octagonal Pavilion, he walked west along the imperial garden corridor. Along the way, he saw many palace maids, eunuchs, and guards saluting the two of them. The further west he went, the fewer people he saw until he could no longer see them. Feng Qingge stopped. .Xue Xichen also stood still.
"Queen, you know why I brought you here."
Xue Xichen looked around. There were rockeries, dense rocks, and bamboo forests. There were no patrolling guards, no eunuchs sweeping the floor, and no maids serving tea. It was like a large garden. It was quiet and silent. Except for the fragrance of autumn chrysanthemums, there was only the sound of rustling wind.
Xue Xichen smiled. "The emperor brought his concubine here. It shouldn't be for the purpose of admiring the flowers. The emperor has something to tell me. Do you not want others to eavesdrop?"
"The Queen is as smart as ice and snow. Nothing can be hidden from the Queen's eyes."
Feng Qingge smiled and acquiesced to Xue Xichen's words.
Xue Xichen blinked her eyes. She really couldn't think of anything that Feng Qingge needed to tell her in private. She tilted her head and joked: "Is the emperor still unhappy about my concubine's private meeting with Mr. Xiao? My concubine and Mr. Xiao only met by chance. It was not as the emperor thought..."
"Tongtong. Don't explain."
If you want to explain it, it seems that he doesn't trust her at all. And he doesn't distrust her, but he has something to remind her. "Tongtong, don't get too close to Xiao Liuyue."
Xue Xichen blinked her eyes and speculated on the intention of Feng Qingge's words. "Your Majesty, I and Young Master Xiao are just acquaintances. As you know, Young Master Xiao has never wanted to see me because of the incident involving his junior sister Xue Xichen. concubine.……"
"Liu Yue is not so kind."
This sentence sounded like nothing at first, but upon closer inspection, it seemed very strange. Xue Xichen blinked her eyes. For a moment, she couldn't figure out the meaning of Feng Qingge's sentence.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."
Feng Qingge frowned and spoke seriously. "Tongtong, I don't know what happened between you and Xiao Liuyue. You don't need to answer. I don't want to know. I just want to remind you. Don't trust Xiao Liuyue easily." .”
Xue Xichen was stunned. She thought that Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue had a harmonious relationship; she thought that Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue were both teachers and friends; she thought that Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue were close friends in life and death. But...how? Listening to Feng Qingge's tone, it seemed that... it was not at all what she imagined.
Xue Xichen was shocked.
What happened between Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue while she was away.
"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding between you and Mr. Xiao? You once personally asked Mr. Xiao to come out and win the world for you. I thought that the relationship between you and Mr. Xiao must be very good."
"No misunderstanding."
In the past, he could not recognize people clearly. Now, he finally saw clearly. Everything that was once unreasonable now found a reasonable explanation. Only then did he know who the person who really deceived him was.
Xue Xichen hesitated because she didn't know what exactly happened between Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue. Therefore, she couldn't say any words to comfort Feng Qingge. Looking at Feng Qingge's expression, there was a hint of annoyance. Xue Xichen couldn't help but wonder if Feng Qingge had discovered the relationship between Xiao Liuyue and Feng Biqing.
but……
its not right.
Feng Biqing hid it so deeply. Xiao Liuyue was not a novice. He couldn't express it publicly. How could Feng Qingge find out...
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask," Xue Xichen decided to test Feng Qingge's tone. "Did Mr. Xiao do anything to make the Emperor angry?"
"No."
It’s not that there is nothing. It’s that Xiao Liuyue would never let him find out. If Xue Xichen hadn’t forced Xiao Liuyue out...
Feng Qingge's eyes darkened.
Xiao Liuyue. It turns out that you are the Tianshan Tonglao. But you have always misled me and made me think that Xichen was. So that you did something that I will regret for the rest of my life. I will never forgive you for this matter.
If it weren't for this huge misunderstanding, Xichen and I wouldn't be where we are today. Xiao Liuyue, you are the culprit of all this disaster. I will never forgive you.
