"Your Highness, marriage is decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Miss Murong's parents are not here, and she is not from North Zhou. I'm afraid we have to ask Prime Minister Murong for his opinion on this marriage. " Yu Shishi spoke softly. Wanyan Hong only snorted coldly. "That's not important. Isn't King Jing of West Qi here? As long as he agrees!"
Just as Wanyan Hong mentioned Longze Jingtian, a eunuch ran to Jing De's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Jing De nodded and came to Wanyan Lie's side. "Your Majesty, King Jing of West Qi, Longze Jingtian, requests an audience! The prime minister's wife, Li Qiushui, is also here! "
"Summon!"
From afar, a man and a woman walked over. The man was Longze Jingtian, and the woman was Li Qiushui.
Hearing that Longze Jingtian was here, Murong Qinglian quickly broke free from Wanyan Hong's embrace and looked pitifully at Longze Jingtian, hoping that he would save her.
Longze Jingtian's appearance was not unexpected. What surprised Murong Qiqi was Li Qiushui. Wasn't she in West Qi? Why was she here? A bad feeling welled up in Murong Qiqi's heart.
As if sensing Murong Qiqi's abnormality, Feng Cang asked softly, "Qingqing, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Murong Qiqi shook her head slowly, but her eyes were fixed on Li Qiushui.
Other than Murong Qiqi, Wanyan Lie was also surprised by Li Qiushui's appearance. "It's you —"
"Your Majesty, long time no see!" Li Qiushui's smile was elegant, and her tone when talking to Wanyan Lie was as if they were old friends. That kind of ease made people feel strange.
"What are you doing here?" Wanyan Lie was not interested in catching up with Li Qiushui. His smiling face immediately stiffened, and a chill crept up his face, making Li Bing and Lin Kexin who were sitting beside him feel a chill.
"I'm here to see my daughter!"
Li Qiushui's attitude towards Wanyan Lie also surprised Longze Jingtian. In the morning, Li Qiushui suddenly appeared with a look of longing for her daughter. She begged Longze Jingtian to bring her into the palace to see Murong Qiqi, so he brought her in. He didn't expect Li Qiushui to know Wanyan Lie.
Li Qiushui said that she was here to see Murong Qiqi, but neither Wanyan Lie nor Murong Qiqi believed her.
From the smile on Li Qiushui's face, Murong Qiqi could sense a conspiracy. Could she be here because of her birth? Thinking back to Li Qiushui's words and the dirty things on the wedding dress, could it be that she had been waiting for this day?
"Qiqi, take off your Water Moon Mirror!" Li Qiushui looked at Murong Qiqi. Her eyes were no longer filled with love. Instead, there was a cold and mocking smile.
"Water Moon Mirror?" Hearing this, Wanyan Lie and Dongfang Lan were also shocked. The Water Moon Mirror was Wanyan Mingyue's most cherished possession. In the past, Wanyan Mingyue often used the Water Moon Mirror to conceal her true appearance so that she could sneak out to play. Why was it with Murong Qiqi?
Li Qiushui's words made Feng Cang feel strange. He had heard of the Water Moon Mirror and had seen it before. But wasn't this thing lost with Wanyan Mingyue's death? Why would it be with Murong Qiqi? Could it be that Murong Qiqi's appearance was fake? What he saw was fake?
Seeing the doubt in Feng Cang's eyes, Murong Qiqi laughed bitterly. She had wanted to hide it from Feng Cang for as long as she could, but she had actually forgotten about Li Qiushui.
"Your Highness, I didn't mean to hide it from you!" Murong Qiqi's eyes were filled with guilt, making Feng Cang's heart ache.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid. I'm here!"
Feng Cang's gentleness was a great mockery in Li Qiushui's eyes. "Qiqi, take off your Water Moon Mirror. Let your grandmother, your uncle, and your biological brother see what you really look like!"
Hearing this, Murong Qiqi's heart skipped a beat and turned completely cold. As expected, as expected! She hadn't expected that the trace of hope she had had would be extinguished by Li Qiushui just like that.
Li Qiushui's words made everyone even more puzzled. Seeing that Murong Qiqi still hadn't taken off the Water Moon Mirror, Li Qiushui reached for Murong Qiqi's face with both hands, wanting to take off the thing on her face.
Li Qiushui's sudden attack had Murong Qiqi's body already prepared for it. Just as Li Qiushui's hands were about to land on her face, Murong Qiqi grabbed Li Qiushui's hands and held her in place.
Murong Qiqi knew martial arts. This was out of Li Qiushui's expectations. Seeing the coldness in Murong Qiqi's eyes, Li Qiushui laughed. "Why? You don't dare to take it off? Be good! Let mother help you take off the Water Moon Mirror! "
"You're not my mother!" Murong Qiqi kicked Li Qiushui's chest. Li Qiushui fell backwards and was flung far away.
"Cough, cough!" Li Qiushui coughed out a mouthful of blood. "As expected of Feng Xie and Mingyue's daughter. You actually lied to everyone. You know martial arts!"
"So what if I know martial arts!"
Murong Qiqi stood up and walked to the center of the hall like a martyr.
"What's going on!" Lin Kexin was confused. "What grandmother and uncle? What are you talking about!"
"Let her speak! Hahaha! Wait until she takes off the Water Moon Mirror. You'll understand everything when you see it! " Li Qiushui laughed as blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. However, she did not seem to feel the pain at all. It was as if this was her happiest moment.
Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Murong Qiqi knew that she could not hide what had happened today. It looked like she could only face reality.
Reaching out, Murong Qiqi took off the Water Moon Mirror on her face and revealed her original face.
"Ah —" Dongfang Lan's dragon-headed walking stick fell to the ground with a loud thud. "Mingyue, you're … Mingyue …"
Wanyan Lie was also stunned. He had collected so many women who looked like Wanyan Mingyue, but none of them could compare to this person in front of him. It was the face of the moon, the eyebrows of the moon, the nose of the moon, and the lips of the moon. Even the aura of the entire body was that of the moon.
"Qingqing …"
Feng Cang's heart raced. So, so that's why … "No wonder you refused to —" Feng Cang did not finish his sentence, but both he and Murong Qiqi understood what he meant.
