Murong Yi stood up. He did not raise his head. He just stood respectfully five steps away from Yi Fang. This distance, neither close nor far, allowed him to clearly see every vivid expression of the woman in front of him, but he could never truly see it.
They were so close. He suddenly felt a little funny. It seemed that every encounter between them was a kind of miss.
"Master Murong."
Yi Fang frowned lightly. Could it be that everyone in the palace likes to show off their emotions these days? Xia Jie would be like this when he looked at her belly silently, but she could think that it was Xia Jie's expectations for their flesh and blood, and how a father should behave.
, doesn’t she often do this herself? But why did Murong Yi look at her with the same expression as Xia Jie in a trance?
Worry, or something else, with a hint of pity hidden underneath?
Pity, Murong Yi pity her, maybe she felt wrong. Yi Fang shook her head lightly and shook off this inexplicable emotion. She originally wanted Murong Yi to sit next to her, but thinking of their identities, she still did it
stop.
"Mr. Murong, do you know why I want to see you today?"
For people like Murong Yi, Yifang's final choice was to be open and honest.
Murong Yi raised his eyes and met the searching emotions in Yi Fang's eyes. Such a stunning face, and the sharpness mixed with it at this moment, was definitely not something that an ordinary woman could have. A faint feeling of loss passed through his heart, and he felt low.
He bowed his head and said in a calm tone: "If your Majesty wants to ask about the maid in Rouge Palace, I have no comment."
No comment!
Yi Fang's lips parted slightly, and shock flashed across her face. She thought that Murong Yi would not tell her the truth and would find excuses to evade her. She even thought that Murong Yi might use the reason that she had fallen in love with Bai Zhi, but there was no such thing.
She thought that Murong Yi would actually tell her no comment.
Even if Murong Yi was favored again and offended her so blatantly, would Murong Yi never have the slightest worry in her heart? Or is his identity really important enough to not take anyone seriously, but not my brother?
Said, Murong Yi is here to protect her, then Murong Yi shouldn't treat her like this!
There was no anger in Yifang's heart, no hatred without love, no anger without thoughts. From beginning to end, her special feeling for Murong Yi was born from the childhood memory hidden in her heart, not from her own nature.
Heart.
So no matter what Murong Yi did, she couldn't be affected by her emotions too much.
After the shock, Yi Fang quickly recovered her expression with a faint smile. It seemed that Murong Yi's words just now were not an offense, but just a joke between two familiar people. She smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Murong, don't be offended.
I didn’t want to ask you anything, but Bai Zhi has a special status, and something happened to me in Rouge Palace, so I’m inevitably a little curious about her whereabouts.”
As a top master, Murong Yi was extremely sensitive to people's movements. After seeing him say such words, Yifang could quickly smile at him. Such alienation and indifference made Murong Yi feel helpless.
Suppressed anger emerges.
He clearly remembered the woman holding him tightly under the cliff. The warm fragrance of nephrite made his heart waver. Those eyes as bright as gems and stars were full of trust and dependence on him, even in the clouds.
In the mountain temple, under the moonlit night, she sat in the open space between heaven and earth, listening to him playing the flute and playing the harp. He also knew that there had been a trance and confusion in her eyes. But since when, she only treated him as a stranger.
The same alienation.
The closeness he once had was nothing more than a mirror in the mirror. In his life, it was rare for him to have a woman he could see in his eyes and put in his heart, but she was always one step away. God was indeed generous enough to him, giving him the most noble and noble woman.
His bloodline exceeds that of anyone else, but this bloodline is the most deadly curse in the world. It makes him wander all his life, living as a human being, a ghost or a ghost, and getting nothing!
A hint of viciousness suddenly flashed across his eyes. Murong Yi tightened his fists under his robe, and his heart was boiling with blood. He suppressed the restless energy in his body and said in a soothing tone: "My Majesty, don't worry, anyone who hurts your Majesty will not be harmed."
will appear in front of the empress again, since Weichen promised to protect the empress, he will definitely do his best."
Yifang could hear the sincerity in Murong Yi's words. Such a man would disdain to lie, but she was also more curious at the same time. Bai Zhi was just a little palace maid. Even if she knew something about Li Cai and the Li family,
I'm afraid it's limited. Now it seems that Murong Yi and Xia Jie are obviously on the same side, at least for the time being. So, if he takes Bai Zhi away, it will definitely not harm Xia Jie's interests. Otherwise, Xia Jie will not go.
acquiescence.
But what is the use of Bai Zhi? She was sure that Bai Zhi didn't know much, but Xia Jie allowed her to come to Murong Yi to ask for a reason without stopping her, but Murong Yi refused to give her a real reason. It seemed like
, these two people are really hiding something.
Everyone is curious, especially when the secret may be related to themselves, and Yi Fang is no exception. Therefore, seeing that Murong Yi was a little loose, Yi Fang's heart moved, and he knew that Murong Yi was either entrusted by Dou Zunian, or was really
Because of her childhood affection, she couldn't be cruel to her, so she used the simplest and most direct method.
There was a deep mist in her cut pupils, hiding bottomless loneliness and worry. Yi Fang looked at Murong Yi and said in a sad tone: "Master Murong, can you really not tell me the truth?"
Her soft and helpless tone instantly hit Murong Yi's heart, which was even colder than Xia Jie's. Murong Yi was born a loner, while Xia Jie was honed in the palace to be ruthless.
But even a man like Murong Yi who despised everything in the world could not refuse such a helpless Yifang.
He raised his eyes, ignoring the complicated etiquette in the palace, and looked directly into those eyes. Even though he knew that there might be some falsehoods in them, he could no longer maintain his previous firmness. But the reason why he wanted to leave Bai Zhi, he told her, just to let her
It would only increase worries and hurt her, so he really couldn't tell her.
Don't tell me, I'm afraid she won't give up easily.
Murong Yi smiled bitterly in her heart and finally chose to reveal half of the truth.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen comes from the Murong family. The family not only practices martial arts, but is also good at using poison. That palace maid has a Zhiyin pulse, which makes her an excellent medicine cauldron."
"Medicine cauldron?"
Yifang was continuously shocked by what Murong Yi said today. Just as she didn't expect Murong Yi's decisive refusal at first, she also didn't expect that the reason why Murong Yi wanted to leave Bai Zhi was that he wanted her to be a medicine cauldron.
Become a poison tester!
