On the warm jade bed, Wanyan Mingyue looked as serene as ever. It was as if she was listening to Wanyan Lie, but at the same time, it was as if she was not listening at all.
"I'm here to tell you a piece of good news! You've found your daughter! Her name is Feng Qiqi. Don't you think it's a nice name? She looks almost exactly like you, but her eyes are very similar to Feng Xie's. The moment I saw Qiqi, my heart almost stopped beating. She's practically a replica of you before you got married! "
Wanyan Lie's chin trembled as he spoke. Even his beard was trembling slightly as if he was trying to suppress his emotions.
"Do you know who she is? She's Murong Qiqi, the one who came to make peace. That bitch, Li Qiushui, actually took Qiqi away and raised her as her daughter. She had a good plan! She wanted to humiliate Cang 'er and Qiqi, but she had no idea that I couldn't wait for them to be together after I found out the truth. "
"I didn't have a grasp of happiness back then, and could only watch as you became Feng Xie's bride. This has become an eternal pain in my heart. Now, the same pain is tormenting these two children. I don't want my tragedy to repeat itself. "
Wanyan Lie's expression became pained as he recalled the past. It was as if he regretted every time he thought of the people he had wronged and the things he had missed. He wished that time could turn back so that he could start all over again.
"In this palace, Concubine De's eyes are like yours, the Empress's smile is like yours, Noble Zhao's hair is as black as yours, Zhou Jieyu loves sweet and sour plums just like you, and Sun Cairen's frown is the same as yours … All of them have your shadow in them. You have always been in my heart because of them."
"I kept so many women in the Eternal Autumn Palace, hoping that they could replace you and make me forget you. However, I found out that I was wrong. Very wrong. When Qiqi stood before me, alive and well, my heart was revived as if it had met spring. She's so like you! Her smile and frown are just like yours. "
"When I saw the conflict between her and Cang 'er, I felt like I saw you and me. But these two children are stronger than us! They know that we are siblings, but they continue to love each other. They are much braver than me! "
"Cang 'er didn't come to morning court today. The people who went to the prince's residence said that Cang' er and Qiqi didn't return. Tell me, what are they doing? Yue 'er, if, and I'm saying if, if they really love each other, will you support them? I think I will definitely support it! I don't want my children to experience my tragedy again. They weren't wrong, just like I wasn't wrong to love you … "
Time passed by slowly. Wanyan Lie held Wanyan Mingzhu's hand and kept on talking. Before leaving, he tidied up Wanyan Mingyue's hair and planted a kiss on her forehead before returning to the ground.
After coming out, Wanyan Lie realized that it was already afternoon. Jing De closed the door and continued to paste the seal. Both of them then left Changqiu Palace one after the other.
After they left, a black figure appeared in the Everautumn Palace. Just now, he had followed Wanyan Lie all the way here. After waiting for a long time, Wanyan Lie finally came out with red eyes.
What was the mystery behind it? Feng Xie, who was dressed in black, touched the seal on the door and pondered for a moment. Then, he found a window that was not locked and jumped in.
This room …
When he saw the furnishings in the room, Feng Xie was stunned.
He suspected that he had entered the wrong place. This was not the palace, but Wanyan Mingyue's boudoir! He and Wanyan Mingyue were childhood sweethearts. Before the Wanyan Family had conquered the world, he had once visited Wanyan Mingyue's boudoir in the Wanyan Residence. The furnishings there were exactly the same as this room.
Why was this happening? Feng Xie quickly walked to the side of the bed and looked around the room. After looking around, Feng Xie was even more certain. Yes! That's right! Everything here, including the plain white dresses in the wardrobe, seemed to belong to Wanyan Mingyue.
What was going on? Why was this happening? Could it be that Wanyan Mingyue was not dead and had been living in Changqiu Palace all this time? Why did Wanyan Lie hide Wanyan Mingyue? Why did he do this?
Feng Xie seemed to have grasped a clue, but the clue was so vague that he could not figure it out. He carefully looked around but did not find anything wrong. However, he had clearly seen Wanyan Lie come in and leave. Could it be that he had come in just to sit?
Before Feng Xie could think further, he heard the voices of young palace maids outside. Feng Xie moved closer to the window and saw two young palace maids, one dressed in pink and the other in green.
"Elder Sister, where do you think Noble Consort Yue is hiding? It's been so long, why haven't we caught her yet? Could it be that she grew wings and flew away? "The palace maid dressed in pink looked a little younger, about thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, aren't you afraid of being heard? " The palace maid dressed in green made a shushing gesture. It was obvious that they were taking a break from their busy schedule and had come here to chat.
"No one will hear us! His Majesty and Eunuch Jingde have just left, so no one will come here at this time. Elder Sister, I heard that Noble Consort Yue is very beautiful and is doted on by His Majesty. Since she is favored by the six palaces, why would she ruin her future and assassinate His Majesty? "
At the mention of Yue Lan Zhi, the expression of the palace maid dressed in pink became mysterious. During this period of time, the matter of Yue Lan Zhi had caused an uproar. The entire capital had been turned upside down, but Yue Lan Zhi had not been found. It was as if this person had disappeared into thin air, becoming a mystery.
"Let me tell you, in this palace, what you hear is false, and what you see is false. Many imperial consorts and palace maids have died in this Changqiu Palace. It is said that this Changqiu Palace is haunted! Every once in a while, you can hear the sound of female ghosts crying … "
"Don't scare me!" Hearing the palace maid dressed in green's words, the palace maid dressed in pink's face turned pale. She grabbed the collar of her clothes and looked around.
"I'm telling the truth! In total, eight or nine imperial noble concubines had died here. After Noble Consort Yue disappeared, all the people in Changqiu Palace were captured and killed. It seems that there was a palace maid who served Noble Consort Yue. She ran to the Empress Dowager and begged her to save her life. In the end, she was beaten to death by the Empress Dowager! "
"Wow, it can't be! Isn't the Empress Dowager a vegetarian and very kind-hearted person? How could this be! "The palace maid dressed in pink covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief.
