Lin Kexin was in a good mood as she sat beside Wanyan Lie. Without the Empress, she was like the mistress of the Imperial Palace. Her every movement displayed the elegance that should be possessed.
As the eunuchs shouted, "Come in!", the guests of the palace banquet arrived one after another.
When Mingyue Cheng arrived, the hearts of the women present couldn't help but ripple.
He was dressed in a luxurious purple robe with a golden belt around his waist. Other than the golden belt, there were no other accessories on him. The new Emperor of the Southern Phoenix Kingdom had a relaxed expression. His eyes were filled with elegance and laziness. His thick black hair was tied up by an amethyst hairpin and he was wearing a pair of wooden clogs.
"Ka — — Ka — —" Mingyue Cheng's footsteps were neither fast nor slow. The wooden clogs made a clear sound as they hit the marble floor.
Mingyue Cheng sat down on his seat and looked around. He didn't see Murong Qiqi. It seemed that she hadn't arrived yet.
Just as Mingyue Cheng was thinking about Murong Qiqi, a voice called out, "The Southern Lin Duke has arrived! The State Protector Princess has arrived! "The voice reached his ears. Murong Qiqi had arrived! Mingyue Cheng's lips curled up into an elegant smile. She's finally here — —
At this moment, Xia Yunxi felt as if there was a large hand clutching her heart tightly. She held her breath as she stared at the entrance of the palace. She wanted to know what Feng Xie looked like.
Sunlight shone in from the entrance and covered the palace with a layer of golden light.
In the golden light, a beautiful couple approached each other. The man was dressed in white and had a picturesque appearance. The woman was a passionate red and her smile was like a flower.
"Thump, thump, thump — —" Seeing Feng Cang again, Xia Yunxi's heart raced. It's him! It's really him! Xia Yunxi was so excited that she almost cried. After so many years, he had matured from an elegant youth to a devilish man. However, his facial features were still the same. Although his expression was much colder, it made him look more manly.
Ten years! Xia Yunxi bit her lips and forced her tears back. The man she had loved for ten years had finally appeared.
Mingyue Cheng's expression wasn't much different from Xia Yunxi's. When he saw Murong Qiqi's appearance, Mingyue Cheng's hand trembled, spilling some wine on the table.
She was actually him? Only now did Mingyue Cheng know that Murong Qiqi was Young Master Guang Hua. She was the one who joined hands with him to seize the Southern Phoenix Nation.
After ascending to the throne, Ming Yue Cheng contacted the people of the Exceptional Beauty Shop many times. He wanted to see Young Master Guang Hua again and personally express his gratitude. However, the manager of the Supreme Beauty House said that Young Master wasn't in Southern Phoenix Country and that Young Master was very busy. Mingyue Cheng finally understood what Young Master Guang Hua was busy with.
Ming Yue Cheng could not describe the true thoughts in his heart at this moment, all the complex emotions surged into his heart. This woman had deceived him so bitterly! He searched everywhere for Sir Guang Hua, wanting to express his gratitude. However, this woman had come to the North Zhou Kingdom and experienced so many things.
If he hadn't come here personally, he probably wouldn't have known the truth of this matter.
It was no wonder why he felt that Murong Qiqi's eyes were beautiful. He wondered why a person with such beautiful eyes could have such an ordinary appearance. Now, he finally understood. This woman had used an ordinary appearance to deceive everyone. However, her ordinary appearance was already shocking enough. Now that she had restored her celestial beauty, it was likely that even more people would prostrate themselves under her skirt!
"Uncle!" Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi greeted Wanyan Lie at the same time. Just now, when the two of them entered the door together, Wanyan Lie's mind went blank for a moment. They were truly a match made in heaven! How great would it be if the two of them could really be together!
Wanyan Lie had ordered the men in black to 'monitor' the Eternal Autumn Palace. Knowing that Feng Cang was staying at Murong Qiqi's place, Wanyan Lie finally relaxed. Previously, he was worried that this pair of siblings would give up on this relationship because of their blood relationship. Now, it seemed that compared to them, he was the coward. That was why he did not obtain happiness.
"You're here. Take a seat!"
The banquet began. Singing and dancing took turns. Delicious food was also placed on the table by the palace maids.
After sizing up Murong Qiqi, Mingyue Cheng could not help but look at the man beside her. For some reason, Mingyue Cheng had a feeling that Murong Qiqi and Feng Cang were different. At the very least, the relationship between the two of them was not as simple as siblings.
Looking at Feng Cang, Mingyue Cheng frowned. There was something wrong with this person!
Previously, Mingyue Cheng could see that Wanyan Lie had a Gu in his body. Now, he saw the same thing on Feng Cang's face. There was a smear of black on Feng Cang's forehead. Ordinary people could not see it, but Mingyue Cheng had a deep understanding of Gu since he was young.
Wanyan Lie's color was greenish-black, but Feng Cang's was completely black. It seemed that Feng Cang had been poisoned for many years.
Although Feng Cang looked no different from a normal person, it could not change the fact that he had been poisoned for many years. The color of the Gu poison was pure black. If this Gu was not taken out, Feng Cang would definitely die when the person controlling the Gu triggered the Gu poison.
However, why was Feng Cang poisoned? Who was the culprit? This question had been bothering Mingyue Cheng.
Mingyue Cheng's mother, Miao Chuyun, was an expert in using Gu. She was also from the Jin tribe, but Miao Chuyun had once told him that unless there was a grudge, the Jin tribe would not use Gu on ordinary people. This was because Gu was a creature that was not easy to control. If the control was not good, the person who used the Gu might suffer a backlash. Furthermore, using Gu to kill people was a very bad thing. Therefore, the person who used the Gu would not have a long life.
The Jin tribe had always lived in the southern part of the Southern Phoenix Country. They lived in the form of tribes. Under normal circumstances, the Jin tribe would not leave their homeland. Then where did the Gu poison on Feng Cang and Wanyan Lie come from? Who had the guts to use Gu on the Northern Zhou Emperor and the Southern Lin King? What was the motive of the culprit?
Mingyue Cheng's brows were tightly locked. His gaze was fixed on Feng Cang, which made Murong Qiqi feel a trace of strangeness. After a closer look, Murong Qiqi found that Mingyue Cheng was indeed staring at Feng Cang. Furthermore, he was staring at the center of his brows. Could there be something between Feng Cang's brows? Murong Qiqi turned around and looked at the center of Feng Cang's brows.
