The Second Volume of Case Files Chapter 46: The Arrival of Nangong Qiuyue

  The sudden change in Feng Qingya's attitude towards me left me bewildered for a moment. I thought, I like Feng Qingya and want to be friends with her. Since coming to this world, I've had many male friends, but all the females have become my enemies.

  I have to treat as enemies the gentle breeze and soft rain, be forced to regard as rivals the elegant wind and refined dew, set defenses against me by Cold Moon Jade and detest me thoroughly by Frosty Thought, it seems... I don't have much luck with women.

  Lying on Xuan Yuan Yifei's thigh, he read the memorial to the throne, I read a book, the Taishi chair in the room had been replaced with a luxurious chaise longue, and I could lie down on it horizontally.

  "Uh... are you free now?" I looked up at him from below, only seeing his pointed chin.

  "Something on your mind?" He still held the red pen in his hand.

  "Today, Lige is actually going to teach me how to play the sheng...this is unusual."

  His hand paused, his body leaned back against the backrest, and he lowered his face. The purple hair fell from the side of his face: "I'm not familiar with Lí Gē as a person, why do you think it's unusual?"

  "Li Ge is naturally cold and proud, and you also said that the elegant and refined Feng Qing has taken his leg tendons, so before he looked at me with eyes that were always carrying knives."

  "Hmm... with a knife."

  "En." I stood up and sat beside him, his gaze following me. "And that time in the garden when Feng Xueyun came to the Hu Guo Fu, Li Ge didn't even acknowledge her, Feng Xueyun is the Empress after all. No matter how deep the hatred, he should have endured it once, but he actually ignored Feng Xueyun entirely, and Feng Xueyun could really endure it." Are people in this world all shameless? The more they ignore someone, the more they like them.

  Xuanyuan Yifei slightly turned his face: "A woman's love is tolerant."

  I was taken aback, such a sentimental and philosophical remark coming from the cold and hard Xuan Yuan Yifei's mouth was strange. He gazed at me deeply and gently: "Shu'er, you will also tolerate me, won't you?"

  This strange question made me stunned for a moment, as if he was saying that if I did something wrong to him one day, he would also forgive me.

  "You... did something wrong to me?" I asked with a guilty conscience.

  "Hmm..." He smiled with pursed lips, and immediately, he restrained his smile. "Did you know that Lí Gē and Xuán Míng Yù are sworn brothers?"

  "Huh?" I was shocked, they had such a relationship!

  Xuanyuan Yifei furrowed his brow: "This matter was also recently known, it seems that there is another force in the palace."

  "No wonder their personalities are so alike."

  "Shu'er, next month I will move out of your Jingxiangyuan."

  "Really! What a big house you've prepared for me!" In the impression, the emperor would always bring his most favored concubine into his bedroom or an independent courtyard, known as "golden house to hide the beauty".

  Xuanyuan Yifei's expression changed slightly, his gaze shifted away from my face. It seemed like he had a bad premonition, could it be?! He has found someone new! Who? I'll destroy her!

  "What...kind of person!" Suddenly, Xuan Yuan Yifei stood up abruptly and looked out the window. The intense killing aura pushed back the heat on my body, and a chill from the soles of his feet swept over me. He was an emperor, a uniquely qualified emperor.

  I still remember when I was running away, I misheard his conversation with Chun Yu Zi Chen. He just lightly said a sentence: Handle her. Looking at Xuan Yuan Yi Fei's back filled with murderous aura, I began to fall into confusion. What is tolerant love...

  "What? You don't recognize me after just a few days?" It was Hou Xuan's voice, and I immediately stood up to look out the window. Hou Xuan was hanging upside down from the beam, his hands clasped behind him as he stared at Xuan Yuan Yifei, his long braid hanging straight down due to his inverted position.

  Xuanyuan Yifei didn't say a word, he picked up the vermilion pen and flung it out. "Whoosh!" It shot towards Hou Xuan, who quickly dodged to the side, and when he turned his head back around, the vermilion pen was in his mouth.

  "Hmph!" He spat out his pen. "Last time I didn't recover from internal injury, that's why you got the upper hand. This time I must teach you a good lesson!"

  After that, he flipped down from the beam. Clapping his hands and humming a tune, "Right, those rascals of yours are really too poor, being settled by me in just two or three moves. I say, how can such inexperienced birds protect you? Maybe one day you'll get killed and they'll still be snoring on the job. Madam, don't follow him anymore, it's not safe."

  "It's really infuriating!" Xuan Yuan Yifei clenched his fists and strode towards the door, I followed him, but he raised his sleeve to block me. "You still want to protect him?" His tone, which had sunk to an extreme low, left me stunned on the spot.

  Xuanyuan Yifei didn't show off his might, I always thought he was a lazy cat.

  "What do you think the emperor would do if he saw you? Luckily it's me today, otherwise someone else would have taken your head off and kicked it around like a ball." Hou Xuan became more and more overbearing, even winking at me with his crafty eyes, "Madam, for your own safety, why don't you come home with me?"

  "Shut up!" Xuan Yuan Yifei suddenly leaped towards Hou Xuan, who gave him a big, exaggerated scowl: "If you want to fight, don't do it in front of the lady!" After that, he jumped onto the roof.

  "Hmph." Xuan Yuan Yifei sneered, "Are you afraid of losing face?"

  "It's because I'm afraid you'll lose face."

  Xuanyuan Yifei's eyebrows twitched, and he jumped onto the roof ridge. These two people are going to be the death of me! By the time I ran out of the house, the rooftop was already empty.

  "What the heck is going on!" I stomped my foot in anger, what a ridiculous thing to say! Even if he's a relative of Xuan Yuan Yi Fei, if Xuan Yuan Yi Fei were to turn his face away, he'd probably disown him too.

  Doesn't recognize his own kin? Yeah, the him from just now had an overwhelming killing aura, even I couldn't get close to him. Who am I sleeping with? That's a tiger!

  A sense of melancholy crept over his heart, he slowly walked back to his room, he was going to move out...... why......

  "Hmm, now that you've seen the real him, are you scared?" Suddenly, a voice that was extremely familiar to me came from inside the house. It was a voice that I would never forget in this lifetime, a voice that had given me much comfort when I first arrived in this world, and also one that had often tempted my heart, making me obey him.

  I slowly raised my face, looking towards the source of the sound. In an instant, I had a feeling of being drawn into the whirlpool of fate. I saw that man who was entangled with me: Nan Gong Qiu Yue.

  On that long, luxurious chaise lounge, he lounged lazily on the long chair, his right hand casually resting on the intricately carved jade-inlaid back of the chair, his right leg bent and stepping on the soft cushion, as if trampling the entire world under his feet.

  His face, once dull and lifeless, now shone clearly before my eyes. The previously deadpan expression on his face was instantly revitalized under the gaze of those piercing, evil eyes, as if he had been a sleeping vampire all along, but now, this vampire prince had awakened.

  Starting from his forehead, it was a large and beautiful headscarf embroidered with strange patterns, covering all his long hair, leaving only two bundles of temples, those two bundles of long hair hanging exceptionally straight on both sides of his face, faintly visible, two large earrings behind the two bundles of long hair swaying gently in the wind, flashing an ancient dark light belonging to bronze.

  He hooked the corner of his mouth, looking at me with a lazy gaze, staring straight at my face. I felt like I was talking to a pirate king, no, he's not just a pirate king, but also an adventurous prince, and even a mermaid prince from the sea.

  "What? Don't you recognize me?" he asked, his smile growing more pronounced at the corners of his mouth. I suddenly realized they were playing a trick on me.

  "Since you won't see me, I'll have to come find you." He lazily dropped his leg, turned around to face me, and clasped his hands under his chin, eyeing my body up and down with a gaze that was mixed with curiosity.

  "I don't like owing people favors, so I've come today to return this favor."

  I lowered my eyes, thought for a moment, and looked at him again: "Alright, how do you plan to repay me?"

  "One thing, or three questions."

  His answer moved me, he can answer three questions for me, and he is a person of the Shadow Palace, even if he is not the master of the palace, he is still an upper layer.

  "What's wrong, too many problems?" He turned his eyes, and a hint of seductive charm appeared at the corner of his eye. Today he was in a good mood, my intuition told me that, because his tone was very good, without any commanding tone.

  I thought for a moment and asked: "Where is Yuanchen's sister Xuan Yuan Biliu?"

  "Hmm?" He raised an eyebrow, his face slightly darkened, the spring light in his eyes was gone, replaced by a hint of killing intent. He slowly leaned back, his hands stretched out and rested on the back of the chair, looking down at me with a condescending gaze. This guy would eventually reveal his arrogant true nature after all. I turned my head away, not looking at him.

  "Is it for Xuan Yuan Yi Fei?" He lowered his voice, I didn't look at him, shook my head, and then nodded: "Also for Yuan Chen."

  "Hum, you're quite sentimental, still thinking about the distant past. Alright, since it's your problem, I'll tell you, Xuan Yuan Bi Luo is in Dong Lai."

  "Donglai?" I exclaimed, "How did she end up there?"

  He curled up his lips: "Does this count as the second question?"

  "No, no, no." I waved my hand immediately, can't waste questions like this, I have to think carefully.
