The night is like a curtain. The sound of silence.
The inner garden of the palace is brightly lit.
In the imperial study, Mu Qingfei and Feng Qingge sat in silence opposite each other. They looked around. Feng Qingge silently flipped through the memorials on the desk. From time to time, she picked up the Zhu Sha pen and read it. Mu Qingfei watched Feng Qingge in silence. After a long time of boring repetitive movements, I finally couldn't help but say, "Qingge, have you decided? Are you really going to give up?"
Feng Qingge didn't even raise her head. She looked through the memorial and replied casually: "Qingfei, you have been fighting for so many years. Aren't you tired yet?"
"Qingge. I don't understand. Where has your ambition gone? Where has your great ambition gone? Is it because of Xue Xichen..." [
"Qingfei. You don't need to understand. I just suddenly saw clearly what I really want."
"Qingge. Does Xue Xichen have the same idea as you?"
"Xichen has never been a person who likes fighting."
"Really?" Mu Qingfei chuckled with a hint of sarcasm. "Every time I see her, countless thrilling things happen. She may not be willing to fight for something, but reality forces her to fight. She has to fight. fight.……"
Feng Qingge put down the cinnabar pen. She raised her head and looked at Mu Qingfei quietly, with a smile in her eyes. "Qingfei, I thought that you and Xichen didn't like each other."
"Perhaps it's because we are both very defensive and thoughtful people." Mu Qingfei admitted frankly. "It's not that we don't like each other. It's just that we're afraid of being seen through by the other person. That's why we unknowingly changed. We have to start a tit-for-tat confrontation. Xue Xichen. If she were a man, she would become a minister and become Qing Fei's best friend in this life. Or she would be Qing Fei's biggest enemy."
"Oh. There are not many people in the court who can be regarded as enemies by Qing Fei." Feng Qingge said with emotion. "Perhaps the persistence I had was just because I was unwilling to let my father break my dream easily when I was young. I wanted to fight for it. I want to fight, I want to prove myself desperately. However, when I really get into this world, I realize that my current life is not what I want at all. I am more willing to give up everything here, whether it is drinking mountains and forests, or riding horses. No matter the desert, what I really miss is the restrained and carefree life back then. As long as she is by my side..."
Feng Qingge's lips showed a yearning happy smile. "No matter where you go, as long as you can have her by your side, your life will become more colorful no matter how dull it is."
"Has the Emperor informed the Queen of these words?"
Feng Qingge slowly shook her head. "Although she never said it, I can tell that she has her own purpose in returning to the palace this time. Moreover, I have a vague feeling that she seems to have come specifically for Feng Biqing." ......."
"Why. Xue Xichen has a grudge against Feng Biqing. Why does she want to return to the palace for Feng Biqing?"
Although this was proved by Xue Xichen asking him about Feng Biqing, Mu Qingfei couldn't understand why Xue Xichen targeted Feng Biqing.
"Xue Xichen may not have much to do with Feng Biqing, but Xue Meitong..." Feng Qingge's face gradually darkened. "Back then, when I first met Xue Meitong, I once heard that Xue Meitong was obsessed with Feng Bi. Qing. Even committed suicide for Feng Biqing... Although I don't know what caused the two of them to finally part ways. However, this must be inextricably related to Xue Xichen's return this time..."
"Has the Emperor ever tested the Queen?"
"Never."
"The Emperor is afraid..."
Silent. Suddenly laughed at himself. "Qingfei, you are right. I am afraid. I am afraid that she will come back just for Feng Biqing. I am afraid that the truth is too cruel for me to accept. I have lost her twice. I don't Can bear the pain of losing her again. Even if the person in her heart may no longer be me..."
"Qingge, you are too worried." Mu Qingfei said seriously with stern eyes. "I think Xue Xichen came back this time for you. In order to help you fight against Feng Biqing, she did not hesitate to put herself in danger again. Although, I don’t know how she discovered all this, but I always feel that she seems to know more than you and I..."
"Qingfei. Do you think..."[
"Qingge, like you, I doubt Xue Xichen's purpose. But, I don't think she came back to help Feng Biqing..."
"So what." Feng Qingge laughed at herself. The curve of her lips was bitter and hard to swallow. "After all, I once hurt her so deeply..."
/
"If she wants to harm you, there is no need to save you. Don't forget that when she was in Baidi City, she had many opportunities to kill you. Feng Biqing sent a killer to assassinate you. It was Xue Xichen who saved you... "
Feng Qingge was silent. She frowned and thought coldly. "Qingfei, do you think Xichen came back to help me..."
"I don't know. But, I don't think she is trying to harm you." Mu Qingfei replied.
Feng Qingge was silent and thinking quietly. Mu Qingfei didn't interrupt. He knew that bystanders knew the truth. Feng Qingge was a fan of the authorities. He needed to think quietly.
Suddenly, chaotic human voices were heard outside the door. Then, several bright torches burned more and more densely. They continued to flow in this direction like a tide. Occasionally, they were mixed with a shouting voice. "Surround. Surround them all." Don’t let anyone go.”
Feng Qingge and Mu Qingfei looked at each other. Their brows were furrowed, and their eyes showed solemnity.
Mu Qingfei walked to the entrance, opened a crack slightly, and looked outside. He saw several soldiers holding torches surrounding the imperial study. The leading general was holding a sword. He looked fierce and evil. It was Bai Biluo.
The only thing in Mu Qingfei's mind was that... Feng Biqing had taken action.
"Qingge. I'm afraid..."
Looking back, he shook his head slowly, frowning, and his face was solemn. "The thing we feared most... finally happened."
My heart can't help but feel a dull pain.
"Really? After planning for so long, Feng Biqing finally took action."
There was no fear on Feng Qingge's face, and her expression was relaxed. It was as if she was facing something ordinary. He said calmly: "Qing Fei, it was always supposed to happen. Now, it's just earlier than we expected. "
"Qingge..."
Mu Qingfei opened his mouth, wanting to argue. However, when he saw Feng Qingge's calm and handsome face, and when he saw Feng Qingge's frightened eyes, Mu Qingfei sighed deeply. He knew... Feng Qingge The mind has been made up.
"Qingge. I respect your choice."
I also hope that you will not regret your choice today.
"Qingfei. Thank you."
For a long time, thank you. It is you who has been by my side silently supporting me and helping me. Without you, I would not be able to sit on this emperor's position.
Now, it is time to abdicate and give way to talents.[
It’s just that I didn’t expect that he could be so impatient...
Zhiyou..
The red-painted door of the imperial study room was slowly opened.
Mu Qingfei looked back and stared. Feng Qingge showed an open and confident smile.
