Volume 2: Case within a case, the granary of the world Chapter 47: Flying Moon?

  After thinking for a long time, I remembered the conversation between Xuan Yuan Yifei and Chun Yu Zichen that day. They said they wanted to buy information from the Shadow Palace, so they asked: "Is Far Dust digging tunnels?"

  Nangong Qiuyue's slender fingers unintentionally slid over his lower lip, and she clicked her tongue: "I didn't expect your second question was still about Xuan Yuan Yifei."

  I turned my face away, avoiding his gaze.

  "That's right, it's authentic and has seven entrances. A year ago, Yuanchen entered the Imperial Palace and started digging. The soil they dug out was used to plant a bamboo forest, which became his cover. The entrance to the palace is in the fake mountain in the Western Palace."

  "Do you know why I didn't report it?" I looked at him in surprise, wasn't he a member of the Wind family?

  He raised his leg, his deep eyes staring at me: "Why should I say? Do you know me? Know my identity?"

  He was startled in his heart and said no more.

  "It seems we... don't know each other." His words once again revealed laziness, I nodded: "Yes, we don't know each other."

  The weather was getting increasingly sultry, the air growing thinner and thinner. An intangible pressure slowly formed on Nan Gong Qiuxue's body and pounced towards me. We both fell into silence, he stopped speaking, I didn't know what to say either, fearing that saying more would lead to mistakes.

  "You have one last question." He reminded me after a long silence.

  I gazed at Nan Gong Qiuyue behind the desk through my drooping eyelids, feeling very confused. I didn't know what was confusing me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, asking the question that had been hidden in my heart for a long time: "Why... were you injured?" I didn't have the courage to face him, so I didn't dare to lift my eyelids to look at him. I could only ask softly with my head bowed down.

  It was just unexpected that after I finished asking, there was another silence.

  There was no sound in the air, not even the sound of wind. There were none, insects seemed to have all hidden away, everything was so quiet that it made one's heart panic.

  Suddenly he stood up, I don't know why, but even though he was five steps away from me, I still took a step back.

  He slowly walked towards me. I took a step back and told myself to calm down, to be steady. Until he stood in front of me, my field of vision was filled with his black robe, the scent of Chinese medicine wafted from him into my nostrils, my heartbeat still accelerated.

  "Are you concerned about me?" His clear and distant voice came from above. I shook my head: "No, I'm just curious."

  "Curious? I know you're concerned about me."

  "This is ridiculous, I'm really curious!" I couldn't take the oppressive feeling he gave me and backed away. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed my arm: "It's you!"

  "Who?"

  "I know it's you!"

  "What on earth are you talking about!"

  "There isn't a single woman who would hit me after seeing my true face, except for you!"

  "I was scared that time, sorry!"

  "I don't want you to apologize, I want you to acknowledge!"

  "What are you talking about?"

  "Look at me!" he bellowed, and I immediately lifted my head. He stared tightly at me, and I looked back at his angry face. With the other hand, he grasped my chin. The corners of his lips curled up into a wicked smile: "It's you, you like me."

  "No! I didn't!" Why should I get entangled with this kind of man?

  "You like me! That's why you saved me!"

  "No! I don't like you! I like Xuan Yuan Yi Fei!"

  "He'll only hurt you!" He was furious, shouting angrily, "Do you know why he wanted to move out?"

  "Why?" I anxiously searched for an answer in his eyes. Was Xuan Yuan Yifei really going to betray me? Nangong Qiuxue half

  In his eyes was a flame of anger, he grasped my arm tightly, and suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sneer. It was a sneer at what I called foolish love: "Because he can't have weaknesses!"

  "weakness......" In an instant. My brain was emptied, and only Nangong Qiuxue's mocking words echoed in my hollow mind.

  "He is the ruler of the Xuan Yuan dynasty. He cannot have any weaknesses, if today I use your life as a bargaining chip, how would he react?"

  Ugh! This question is like when your wife and mother both fall into the river, who do you save first? So I chose to learn how to swim, and I'm especially good at it.

  "Xuanyuan Yifei, if he dotes on you, it means he doesn't love you, but just uses you as a smokescreen. However, he really loves you, so it's destined that he can't get too close to you, hahaha... Xuanyuan Yife, what a pity, can't even properly love a woman."

  Will I become Xuan Yuan Yi Fei's weakness? I don't want to see Xuan Yuan Yi Fei compromise for me, although that's what a man who loves himself should do, but it's absolutely not what an emperor should do! Xuan Yuan Yi Fei compromising for me is something I really can't imagine, I will loathe myself, I will hate myself!

  "Month!" Suddenly, a surprised exclamation came from behind him. What did Xuan Yuan Yifei call Nangong Qiuyue? Month? He actually called him Month! I immediately turned around to look at Xuan Yuan Yifei, his eyes were filled with surprise, or rather, astonishment.

  And in his hand, he was holding Hou Xuan, Hou Xuan's clothes were disheveled, he was being held up by Xuan Yi Fei, his collar was pulled open, revealing that delicate clavicle and half of his fragrant shoulder.

  "Hey... I failed." Hou Xuan rubbed his head, then looked at Xuan Yuan Yi Fei who was standing beside him in a daze, "It seems... you two know each other."

  Nangong Qiuye hooked up the corner of her lips: "Fei, long time no see."

  Fly? I immediately turned back to look at Nan Gong Qiu Yue, the smile on his face had changed, and he was actually a few points triumphant. He suddenly pulled me into his arms, his eyes looking at Xuan Yuan Yi Fei: "Fei, did you steal my things in order to get my attention?"

  Ah? No, no! I don't want to imagine that he's my boyfriend, but... But their conversation, their expressions, their movements, all seem like those of an old couple!

  "So you've known my identity all along!" Xuan Yuan Yifei narrowed his amber eyes, a killing aura began to form, slowly pushing open the back of the room. The back of the room's eyeballs turned around and instantly exited the room, only to reappear at the window to sneak a peek.

  Nangong Qiuyue smiled: "It's hard not to know, my great Emperor Xuan Yuan."

  "Now that you know, why don't you let her go!"

  "Let go?" Nangong Qiuxue's wrist turned, and with a twist of force, he pulled me into his arms. He leaned down to my ear, blowing his words into my ear, "See, you're his weakness."

  Then he stood up straight and faced Xuan Yuan Yifei with a cold smile: "Fei, I think you're mistaken, she's mine, and I'm taking her away tonight!"

  How detestable! I grit my teeth in hatred, he's still the same, that arrogant and condescending South Palace Autumn Moon, in his eyes, I'll forever be a thing, not a person! He snatches me just to add one more collectible item!

  "Month! Are you thinking of advancing the appointment for a year? I'm happy to accompany you!" A fierce aura suddenly emerged from Xuan Yuan Yifei's feet, and I was shocked by their conversation. It turned out that Xuan Yuan Yifei knew the true identity of Nan Gong Qiuxue, and they had an appointment for a year, probably referring to that duel I stumbled upon. What exactly is their relationship?

  "Haha, since that's the case, let's get ahead of schedule. But are you sure you can still win against me?" Suddenly, Nangong Qiuxue grabbed my neck, and Xuan Yuan Yifei immediately stepped forward to intervene. For the first time, I saw a panicked Xuan Yuan Yifei. Nangong Qiuxue was right; I had now become Xuan Yuan Yifei's weakness.

  Today it's Nangong Qiuxue, but if it were an enemy tomorrow... I'm putting Yifei in harm's way!
