"I know this has nothing to do with you, but I'm very unhappy when I think of you as Murong Tai's daughter. Even now, I still feel suffocated! "Dongfang Lan patted her chest and said," But Cang 'er likes you! I can tell! That child has already lost his parents. It's already unfortunate enough. If I oppose it, then Cang 'er will suffer too much! I don't want to separate you two! "
Dong Fang Lan's tears fell as she spoke of the emotional part. For some reason, Murong Qiqi felt terrible when she saw the old woman crying. She stood up and walked over to Dongfang Lan. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on Dongfang Lan's face.
"Grandma, don't be sad! I will be filial to you together with the prince! "
Dongfang Lan's heart was filled with emotions when she heard the word 'maternal grandmother'. Murong Qiqi's gentleness in wiping away her tears melted the last bit of hardness in the Old Empress Dowager's heart. "That year, when the late Emperor passed away, Ming Yue was also by my side like this. She wiped away my tears and comforted me. She said, 'Empress Mother, Feng Xie and I will be filial to you. Please don't be too sad' …"
All the sadness and loneliness welled up in Dongfang Lan's heart. Murong Qiqi had triggered her memories of the past, and all the beautiful and unforgettable memories of the past appeared before Dongfang Lan's eyes. Wanyan Mingyue's figure overlapped with Murong Qiqi's, dazzling Dongfang Lan.
"Ming Yue! Bright Moon! " Dongfang Lan's hand trembled as she caressed Murong Qiqi's face, "Ming Yue, do you know how much Imperial Mother misses you! My Bright Moon — "
Dongfang Lan hugged Murong Qiqi as tears streamed down her face. The strength she had built up over the years had crumbled in front of Murong Qiqi, leaving behind only the sorrow of a loving mother who missed her daughter.
Knowing Dongfang Lan's pain, Murong Qiqi did not move, allowing the old man to hug her. She gently patted Dongfang Lan's back to soothe her breathing. This old man was too pitiful! They were still kept in the dark!
Dongfang Lan's sadness made Murong Qiqi's heart ache for the old lady, but it also made her hate Wanyan Lie even more. How could this person be so cruel? He had caused the destruction of his family! Why would he do that?
Dongfang Lan cried for a long time, so long that she lost track of time. In the end, she collapsed in Murong Qiqi's arms. When Murong Qiqi and Madam Qing moved Dongfang Lan onto the bed, the corners of the old empress dowager's eyes were still brimming with tears.
"Princess, thank you for your hard work!" Madam Qing looked apologetically at Murong Qiqi's shoulder, which had been soaked by Dongfang Lan's tears. "Tomorrow is your wedding with His Highness, but today …"
"Aunt Qing, you're welcome! The Empress Dowager was also touched by the scene! Moreover, she is His Highness' maternal grandmother and my elder in the future. This is what I should do … "Murong Qiqi wiped away Dongfang Lan's tears and looked at the old woman deeply. "Aunt Qing, please take care of the Empress Dowager!"
Murong Qiqi retreated and closed the door. Dongfang Lan opened his eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot. "Aunt Qing!"
"Miss, I'm here!"
"Aunt Qing, find the phoenix coronet and robe that Brightmoon wore at her wedding! Give it to this child! Let her wear Brightmoon's dress when she gets married tomorrow! "
"Miss …" Aunt Qing clearly understood how important Wanyan Mingyue's phoenix coronet and robe was to Dongfang Lan. If she gave it to Murong Qiqi now, did she acknowledge her status?
"I'm old, I shouldn't be so narrow-minded. She's a good girl! A good girl! "After giving the order, Dongfang Lan felt a little tired and slowly closed his eyes.
This was the first time Murong Qiqi had left Feng Cang in a while. Although the two of them didn't do anything out of line and didn't sleep in the same bed, they still saw each other every day and stayed close to each other at night.
Today was the last day of her single life, but Murong Qiqi had to stay alone in the unfamiliar Jinxuan Palace, waiting for Feng Cang to come to the palace to marry her tomorrow. Murong Qiqi wasn't used to this.
Murong Qiqi opened the wooden chest in front of her. Inside was the wedding dress that Li Qiushui had made for her. She would be able to wear it tomorrow.
When she unfolded the wedding dress, Murong Qiqi suddenly smelled something strange. It smelled like lilies. Sniffing it carefully, she realized that the fragrance came from the red wedding dress. No! It wasn't lilies but some kind of aphrodisiac. If it wasn't for her understanding of these things, she wouldn't have noticed the difference.
Li Qiushui actually put an aphrodisiac in the wedding dress. This made Murong Qiqi feel incredulous. Why? Why did she do this? Could it be to facilitate the consummation of her marriage with Feng Cang? But why did she go through so much trouble? Moreover, this aphrodisiac was different from the normal aphrodisiac. It was harmful to the human body! Could it be that Li Qiushui didn't know?
Thinking back to the strange words that Li Qiushui said before she left, Murong Qiqi felt that there was something wrong with Li Qiushui. She immediately kept the wedding dress.
Just as Murong Qiqi was about to look for Su Mei and Su Yue, a man in black appeared in front of her. It was the man with the doll mask.
Murong Qiqi took out two silk threads and wanted to attack the man. Unexpectedly, he turned and ran. This time, I can't let him escape so easily! Murong Qiqi followed closely behind the man in black.
This man seemed to be intentionally keeping a distance from Murong Qiqi. He didn't want her to catch up to him, but at the same time, he didn't want her to lose him. Murong Qiqi followed behind the man in black and sped through the silent night. The man in black led Murong Qiqi through a few turns and finally jumped into a courtyard wall. Murong Qiqi didn't even think about it and jumped down.
This was a side hall of Jinxuan Palace. When Murong Qiqi saw the man in black enter the side hall, she followed.
The hall was clean and tidy. Long silk curtains hung in the hall. Just like before, the man in black disappeared without a trace. There was no sign of him in the hall.
Who was this man in black? Murong Qiqi touched the golden thread in her hand and carefully looked around the hall. When she turned around, she saw a portrait on the wall.
"Beloved daughter Mingyue …" In front of the portrait, there was a black tablet. Murong Qiqi read the words on it softly before looking at the portrait.
When she saw the woman in the portrait, Murong Qiqi was stunned. Was this person Wanyan Mingyue? Why? Why did Wanyan Mingyue look so similar to her? They looked exactly the same?
