The disciple said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something to say to your Majesty in private."
Talking in private doesn't sound like a good thing.
If Feng Qingge discovers it, does it count as catching someone in bed?
Xue Xichen thought boredly.
"In that case, come in, Mu Xiang."
She was originally a charlatan. She acted boldly and informally. Since Mu Qingfei, a scholar, didn't care about reputation anymore, she had nothing to worry about.
The door slowly opened, revealing Mu Qingfei's thin and slender figure. Xue Xichen discovered that after not seeing him for a few days, Mu Qingfei had become much thinner. Could it be that the heavy workload of the court recently had made Mu Qingfei thin.
"Mu Xiang. Don't you have enough rice at home?"
Don't blame her for speaking out. She couldn't help but blurt out something when she thought of something. She swore that she definitely didn't mean to ridicule Mu Qingfei.
Mu Qingfei was startled. Then he laughed. "Of course it's not as relaxed and comfortable as the empress living in the harem every day and being pampered in all kinds of ways. The empress has wine and food every day, abalone and bird's nest, two dishes of side dishes and a bowl of rice at the minister's house. Nothing can compare with that. Your Majesty’s life is happy.”
"Mu Qingfei. Not only have you lost weight, but you have also become haggard." Xue Xichen supported her chin with one hand and lay lazily on the table. "I don't have anything to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall. Let's talk. Mu Xiang is here. What exactly is this?"
"Mother, is it fun to change your body?"
Xue Xichen was startled. Then he laughed loudly and said: "Mu Qingfei, are you going crazy like Xiao Liuyue? What? You all think that the corpse on Meishan is the real Snow Charming Tong."
"Yes. No." Wen smiled, with a light of wisdom radiating from his eyes. "A pheasant can't change into a true phoenix. No matter how miserable a phoenix is, it can't hide its glow."
Xue Xichen raised her eyebrows lightly and heard Mu Qing's unspoken words. She said calmly: "If Prime Minister Mu has something to say, why don't you speak out. If you go around in circles like this, I don't understand what you are saying."
Mu Qingfei did not answer and replied: "The poem that the empress composed at the Golden Qiuju Banquet still leaves a deep impression on Qingfei."
Xue Xichen couldn't fathom Mu Qingfei's thoughts, so she simply remained silent.
Mu Qingfei didn't blame him. He thought to himself and said: "Wait until autumn comes on September 8th. When the flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will bloom. The fragrance will reach the sky and penetrate Chang'an. The whole city will be covered with golden armor."
My heart paused for no reason. It skipped a beat.
Xue Xichen's smile did not change. "Mu Xiang likes this poem."
"I like it very much." Mu Qingfei's smile was laced with a hint of slyness. "I still remember the first time I met the empress. In the teahouse of Zuixian Tower, the empress also recited this poem."
"Plagiarizing old works makes Mu Xiang laugh."
"The empress is proud and arrogant. She will never be content to succumb to one world or another. The empress has the talent to defeat the enemy thousands of miles away. She has the desire to fight for her family, country and the world. It can be seen from the first meeting with Qing Fei."
"So. I don't like you." Xue Xichen said it bluntly and without mercy. "Your eyes are too sharp. Your vision is too vicious. All the hidden things are hidden by your shrewdness. I hate it. This feeling of being seen through.”
"My Majesty has always disliked Mu Qingfei. Whether it's Xue Mei Tong or..." After a pause, as if deliberately, he slowly spat out from his mouth, "Xue, Xi, Chen."
Her heart was beating suddenly. She suddenly understood the purpose of Mu Qingfei's visit tonight. Everyone said that the person they hate the most is the person who understands them best. Xue Xichen was not surprised at all that Mu Qingfei could recognize her.
Recalling the past, Mu Qingfei couldn't help but sigh. "Qingfei said back then that Xuemei Tong was not the original Xuemei Tong. Now Qingfei just knows that Xue Xichen is the real Xuemei Tong."
"Xue Mei Tong is Xue Mei Tong. She has always been alone. As for the corpse on Meishan Mountain..."
"She is the woman pretending to be Xue Meitong." Mu Qingfei nodded. All the irrationality found reasonable explanations. "Xue Xichen killed the fake Xue Meitong and regained her identity and status. Are you ready to completely cut off Xue Xichen's identity and become Xue Meitong again?"
"I will not let any woman replace me." Xue Xichen said in a cold and arrogant tone. "Wang Yingjun asked for trouble. She can't blame me. Xue Meitong is dead. I could have given up this identity completely. However, someone wanted to Xue Mei Tong is alive. In this case, how can I not satisfy that person's desire and let Xue Mei Tong return again."
"Wang Yingjun, isn't she your Huamanlou sister?" Mu Qingfei was surprised when he learned the identity of the fake Xue Meitong. "Feng Longxiang is dead. Could it be that Wang Yingjun has defected to a new master?"
"She was originally a double agent." Now that the words have been spoken, Xue Xichen doesn't need to hide anything anymore. Although she doesn't like Mu Qingfei, she still trusts her, just like Mu Qingfei can see through her. . She can also understand Mu Qingfei, but she is too lazy to understand. "I killed her and angered her master. Now her master wants to kill me."
"You are talking about the Sixth Prince."
Mu Qingfei patted the paper fan in his palm and shook his head slowly. "I was indeed careless about this matter. I always thought that the Sixth Prince was content with the status quo. He only wanted to be an idle prince and had no intention of fighting for power. But I didn't expect that. .The person who seems to be the most indifferent turns out to be the biggest and most terrifying threat.”
"Qingge understands."
"I know. But it's too late. No matter what we do, there's nothing we can do to save it."
"how come."
"Feng Biqing's power is so huge and so hidden. It's like a parasitic vine parasitic on a tall tree. It has been deeply embedded in every corner of the court. You may not know. The court Many of the officials here are members of Feng Biqing's party. In addition, with the support of the Bai family's military power...he is simply confident enough to challenge the emperor."
"You missed it. There is also Xiao Liuyue."
"Yes...who would have thought that Liuyue would also turn to Feng Biqing..."
Sighing, it was obvious that Mu Qingfei truly regretted that his former friends and confidants had now turned against each other and were on opposing sides.
"Don't worry. Feng Qingge still has you by her side. And Leng Junyi..."
"Don't you know that Leng Junyi has fallen out with the emperor?"
Xue Xichen was surprised. "Just because of Leng Qiuluo."
"Yes..." Mu Qingfei was heartbroken. "Jun Yi, who has been a close friend for many years, gave up so easily... Although... regarding Leng Qiuluo, it was the emperor who felt sorry for the Leng family. But... the emperor also felt sorry for the Leng family. He can't help himself..."
In fact, she was the culprit. However, Xue Xichen did not dare to say this.
She said in a heavy tone: "Without the support of the Leng family, Qingge is now in an unprecedented dilemma. The military power of the court is in the control of Leng Junyi and Bai Biluo. Now Bai Biluo has turned against him. And now Bai Biluo has turned against him. Leng Junyi broke off his relationship with Feng Qingge again. This is the best time for Feng Biqing to launch a coup."
"So, I have something to ask of your Majesty."
His eyes were sincere. Mu Qingfei asked sincerely.
