Chapter 124: Visiting the Princess' Room at Night and Searching Her for a Handkerchief

One house.

One bed.

Two people.

One person tells the story and the other listens.

Apart from his own cheat, Qin Muye held back almost nothing and slowly recounted every detail of everything related to her since they met.

Bai Yuji leaned in his arms, listening to his story with her left ear, listening to his heartbeat with her right ear, and listening with her hands gently clutching his clothes, listening with fear and trepidation.

As she listened, she gradually relaxed.

Because she could feel Qin Muye's sincerity.

Even when the two of them first confronted each other, some of their little acting thoughts were revealed.

She was not angry or disappointed.

Who can control something like feelings?
Wasn't it me who got caught up in the acting as well?

She felt a glimmer of hope.

Secretly hoping that Qin Muye could give him a perfect answer.

But when she heard about Qin Yanying's case, she couldn't help but get nervous.

Because this is what she thinks she has done most to Qin Muye.

Although I stopped him, I did it sincerely.

But it’s true that they didn’t stop it.

I approved that plan myself, and it was real.

"so……"

Her voice trembled a little: "Did you see the scene that day clearly through the puppet?"

"Um……"

"Did you hate me so much that you wanted to kill me?"

"Yes!"

Qin Muye said bluntly: "I know it's reasonable to take revenge on my enemies, but I was really disappointed in you until I heard from my aunt..."

Bai Yuji whispered, "So at that time, you killed Luo Qing just to vent your anger?"

Qin Muye was silent for a while: "There is the factor of venting anger, but there is another important reason."

"what?"

"He will betray you."

"what!"

Bai Yuji sat up suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.

This was also the first time she felt angry tonight: "Muye, are you afraid that I will hate you, so you said this on purpose..."

Qin Muye also sat up and gently held her shoulders: "Do you think I'm hiding something?"

Bai Yuji: "..."

Yes!

If he was really hiding something, why did he tell me just now that his feelings for me in the beginning were partly acted?
Perhaps there is no one in this world who is more real than Qin Muye at this moment.

But how could Luo Qing...

For a moment, Bai Yuji was in a state of confusion.

She held Qin Muye's hand tightly, and her knuckles turned white because she was holding it so tightly.

"But you haven't seen Luo Qing much before."

"I can tell fortunes."

"How could you..."

“I can tell fortunes!”

Qin Muye spoke half the truth: "The reason I killed him is the same as the reason you killed the Great Elder. Of course, I don't deny that venting my anger also played a big part in the reason."

Bai Yuji: "..."

If he can master the top-level puppet-refining technique, what good can fortune-telling do for him?
Just, just...

Bai Yuji was extremely upset, but she could only suppress her emotions because she felt that there might be more explosive news to come.

She took several deep breaths, but her voice was still trembling: "Go on!"

"Ok!"

Qin Muye helped her lie down and continued talking.

Including going to the Princess's Mansion under the identity of "Master Kongxu" to seek help and advice.

It also includes the perspective of seeing the conversation between the emperor and Li Runyue.

Bai Yuji was overwhelmed with information and felt like her head was about to explode.

She sat up suddenly, her hands and feet were frighteningly cold: "You, you, you, you said...the emperor knows my identity?"

“I knew it after that day!”

"..."

Bai Yuji was confused. She had always thought that she was extremely secretive in her work. She even felt complacent at times, thinking that she could win so many benefits for her people under the eyes of so many people in Kyoto.

result……

The emperor knows!

Chen Sui had already found out.

Li Runyue had sold herself out long ago.

But since the emperor knew, why...

Qin Muye watched her sit up again and again, so he simply stopped lying down and leaned against the head of the bed and continued, "I know you are confused, but just listen to me slowly..."

then.

He then told the story of how he sold himself to the emperor as a lackey.

Bai Yuji was both frightened and moved when she heard this.

What he was afraid of was that if he summoned all the young people of Nanzhao, the emperor could wipe them out in one fell swoop as long as he was ruthless.

What is touching is that it turns out that Qin Muye sold herself to the emperor because of this.

Not only did he save the lives of his people, but he also won the right to trade.

In the past, she didn't understand why her plan went so smoothly.

Now she understood completely.

But she was even more flustered: "So what does the emperor mean? What is his attitude towards the Qin family? How does he plan to deal with me?"

Qin Muye shook his head: "I can't guess what he is thinking, but I think he doesn't completely trust the Qin family. At least he wants to control me. To you...

The emperor had a tolerance that was rare among ordinary people, and he was not so tolerant as to not tolerate the remnants of Nanzhao.

I think he only has two ideas about you, one is to steady me.

The second is to leverage the remaining influence of Nanzhao to influence the entire southwest.

The demon tribe is betting on both sides. Although Daqian is gradually becoming stronger, it is surrounded by enemies and is in great need of allies. "

"ally?"

Bai Yuji was so confused that she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Li Hong ordered the destruction of Nanzhao, and even the entire royal family was massacred.

But now, Qian Kingdom actually wants to be an ally of Nanzhao?
She laughed bitterly: "Are you an ally or a lackey?"

Qin Muye said in a deep voice: "I think we are allies, just like the relationship between the two countries before. But I am not Li Hong, I am not qualified to guarantee you.

All I can say is that you can move the Nanzhao people there. If you are really worried, move them to a nearby city.

As long as you don't do anything that is detrimental to Daqian, the biggest bonus of Nanwu City will definitely be reaped by the people of Nanzhao."

Bai Yuji: "..."

Honestly.

She herself couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Li Hong was so generous that even as a victim himself, he almost felt that his enemy was not wrong.

But...is this enough?
As a princess of a fallen country, can I exchange past hatred and the flesh and blood of my people for money?

Even the money earned is used to support the current tribesmen.

But is this right?

Bai Yuji was in a state of confusion, for she knew that Li Hong had already offered all the conditions that a superior country could offer.

Especially when these people could be crushed to death at any time.

Can……

She remembered the expressions on the faces of her clansmen when they mentioned the Qin family in the past.

I also remember my state when I was with the Annan veteran just now.

Acceptance is more beneficial.

But it’s more beneficial, right?
She raised her head: "Muye, do you think I should do this too?"

Qin Muye was silent for a moment: "I am not qualified to ask you to do anything, but I hope you can do this. The people of Nanzhao have been living under someone else's roof for too long, and they don't even have the energy to seek revenge.

It is true that Nanzhao was destroyed by Daqian, but Nanzhao's corpse was eaten by the allies who harmed Nanzhao. How can we not say that there is no hatred? If we take good care of it for a few years, we can at least take back some of the lost territory..."

Talking and talking.

His voice was a little low.

This was really the first time he experienced the feeling of being right but not having the courage.

Bai Yuji's eyes turned red: "This is just your secondary reason. I want to hear the main reason."

Qin Muye held her hand and said, "I want you to stay and be my husband and wife for life."

Bai Yuji couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down her cheeks: "But I don't dare to agree, I really don't dare!"

"Then don't think about it yet, there's still a lot of time!"

"Uh-huh……"

Bai Yuji responded softly.

Then there was no talk for a long time.

His eyes also became empty and confused.

Qin Muye was a little worried that she was exhausted, so he asked in a low voice: "Madam..."

Bai Yuji woke up from a dream and forced a smile: "Can I pretend that I didn't hear what you just said?"

"Of course!"

"Is there anything else I don't know?"

"Have……"

“There is still…”

Bai Yuji felt helpless. She felt that in the undercurrent of Kyoto, she was not even a floating boat. At most, she was just a dead leaf. She might be overturned by a small wave at any time.

She sighed: "Muye, I'm so tired, let's lie down and talk."

Qin Muye nodded, then helped her lie down and told her about his plan to go to the embassy of various countries to negotiate with Xu Yuyao.

Bai Yuji didn't know what to say anymore.

They were her only relatives in the world.

He is the person who helps her the most, but also the person who hurts her the most.

When she first heard that Qin Muye used such extreme methods to retaliate against Xu Yuyao, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

But this feeling soon dissipated, replaced by an indescribable feeling of joy.

How could she not hate Xu Yuyao for always considering her husband and Baiyue?

He also infiltrated and used the Great Elder for his own selfish interests, even if it put Nanzhao in danger, he was determined to destroy himself and fulfill the interests of Baiyue.

How could she not be secretly happy because Qin Muye cared so much for her?
but……

"Why did you call Li Xingluo?"

"I wasn't strong enough at that time, so I couldn't do it quietly."

"Is it just because of this?"

"..."

Qin Muye didn't know how to explain.

Bai Yuji bit her red lips lightly: "I feel that you are particularly interested in Li Xingluo. Is it because you have feelings for her, or because you told her fortune?"

"of course……"

"Just tell the truth, don't worry about me getting angry."

"Didn't you hear what I said to her?"

Qin Muye was a little annoyed: "Don't you know whether I am interested in her or not?"

Bai Yuji: "..."

She really knew.

She heard everything that happened between the two that night.

Qin Muye made it very clear that the two of them were just fellow travelers.

Even if there really is a hint of romantic thoughts, a gentleman should judge by actions rather than feelings.

His performance can already be called that of a perfect husband.

but.

She almost said, "Then go get the handkerchief back." It took a lot of effort for her to swallow the words back.

Because she figured it out.

Li Xingluo knew his identity and was probably waiting for him to divorce Qin Muye and then take over...

She was unwilling in her heart.

But he was also worried that after he left, Qin Muye would be unable to support himself in the capital.

Think for a long time.

Bai Yuji suddenly said: "Muye, I think there is still room for improvement in your strength."

Qin Muye was a little confused: "Why did you suddenly say this?"

"I just suddenly remembered it."

Bai Yuji smiled and said, "I collected a lot of monster blood on the execution platform earlier. If I go back to Beijing and mix some herbs, I can refine hundreds more Hundred Beast Pills. I still have two in my hand. Do you want to take them?"

"Ok?"

Qin Muye frowned: "You...don't like me?"

Bai Yuji smiled and shook his head: "Of course not! I just think you can be a little stronger. Many people are stuck at the peak of the fourth level and may not be able to break through to the Grandmaster level in their entire lives. Naturally, this is an extra trump card and an extra way out. Do you... want to accept it?"

"Then... take it!"

Qin Muye hesitated for a while and nodded.

The Hundred Beasts Pill is indeed useful, although it is not as exaggerated as Bai Yuji's statement that it "can cultivate the innate magic spells of a hundred beasts."

But it does strengthen the body very well.

Otherwise, when they surrounded the men in black that night, his body, which was only at the fourth level, would have been shattered.

There is no harm in swallowing a few more, except that you may feel a little irritable.

"Then open your mouth!"

"what……"

After taking two pills, Qin Muye gradually became agitated.

His eyes kept scanning Bai Yuji.

But I'm also worried that she's exhausted too much energy and isn't in the mood for it.

Unexpectedly.

Bai Yuji kissed him first.

Qin Muye was a little surprised: "Madam, you..."

Bai Yuji's pretty face finally blushed: "Be gentle..."

"Ok!"

The two of them proceeded slowly and step by step.

But just when the ambiguous atmosphere was about to reach its peak.

Bai Yuji suddenly pushed Qin Muye away.

Qin Muye was stunned: "No?"

Bai Yuji bit her lip and said, "I'm still very jealous. Go get the handkerchief now, and we can continue later!"

"Ah? It's already late at night!"

"I do not care."

"But my current state..."

Qin Muye glanced down.

Bai Yuji was very firm: "I don't care, just go and get it now!"

Qin Muye: “…”

He is lost.

If I go to see Li Xingluo in this state, Li Xingluo might be in the same state.

He also fed me two Beast Pills in advance.

Are you in a hurry to get into trouble?

But if I don't go, I'll feel so restless and uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth and put on his clothes again: "I'll go!"

"Um……"

Bai Yuji had a playful smile on her face: "But it's the dead of night, you two are alone, don't let anything happen, otherwise I'll be sad..."

Qin Muye: “???”

He glared at Bai Yuji fiercely, took several deep breaths, and finally suppressed his restlessness, then strode out the door.

Bai Yuji let out a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know whether she would accept Li Hong's conditions in the future.

But she knew that it would be difficult for her to stay with Qin Muye with peace of mind.

Since you are leaving.

There was no reason to stop Li Xingluo. Qin Muye was very good at judging people, just like he saw himself clearly and was certain that he would not reveal his secrets, so he was willing to be so frank with himself.

Since he feels that Li Xingluo is a fellow traveler, then they must be fellow traveler.

So when I'm around, I can't stop them from interacting with each other.

But I feel sad, so what should I do?

I can only be a bad woman for once and torture them.

We all suffer together.

I feel balanced.

Li Xingluo.

Let you provoke me!
……

Li Xingluo sat cross-legged in meditation, suppressing all the struggling emotions and recalling the scene after he refined the second totem source qi.

She was sure that all her desires had become stronger.

But there are actually only two types of people who are really close to running wild.

One is the desire to kill.

The other is the desire between men and women.

The former was influenced by the violence in his heart, while the latter was triggered by Qin Muye.

The Buddhist scriptures say: Form is emptiness and emptiness is form.

The so-called color is both the truth and the illusion.

Things do exist.

But color is the reflection of objects in everyone's heart.

The same green leaf.

You see it is green.

I see it is green too.

But how can you be sure that the green you see is the same green I see?
Does this mean that the so-called color is just an illusion?
The same is true with desire.

Every seemingly violent and unprovoked behavior actually corresponds to a deeper essence. Everything that living things in the world do is simply for survival and reproduction.

But how can I peel away these illusions and recognize the inner essence?

Li Xingluo felt that he was about to understand.

The so-called love desire is the human impulse to reproduce. All the good qualities of the other party are externalizations that strengthen the stability of reproduction.

Just like Qin Muye.

She felt that she did not love him, but she felt that his identity, his thoughts, and his character could help her survive and reproduce.

That's it.

Yup!

That's it!

So it’s no big deal, there’s no need to worry about it.

I understand!
Li Xingluo opened his eyes and felt that his mood had become ten thousand times clearer.

She was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that her comprehension was indeed high enough and was not at all what the little spirit said.

But at this moment.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a light knock on the door.

"Who?"

"I……"

"what?"

Li Xingluo's heart suddenly started beating very fast. In the middle of the night...

Her body began to feel strange, and the clear feeling she had just had disappeared without a trace.

Ah this...

She took a deep breath, opened the door quietly, and looked at Qin Muye strangely: "What's the matter?"

"Ah I……"

Qin Muye felt that if he simply said "Give me back the handkerchief", it might make people angry.

Li Xingluo pretended to be calm: "Let's go inside and talk!"

"Hey!"

Qin Muye entered the house, sat down and took a sip of herbal tea.

Li Xingluo closed the door and put up a soundproofing sticker...

Ok?
Why should I soundproof?
Am I going to make any noise?

She shook her head, sat back on the bed, and said with a half-smile: "Master Qin, in the middle of the night, you are not with your wife, but come to me, what is your plan?"

while talking.

She subconsciously adjusted her collar.

Because the body temperature is too high during meditation, I wear very thin clothes.

Although the posture of sitting in meditation is very dignified.

But her clothes made her look even more immodest.

She felt a little uncomfortable. This was the first time she appeared in front of a man like this.

But I also feel that what I did was right, otherwise I would never have been able to understand deeply what desire is.

Qin Muye was a little absent-minded.

When the eldest can control the second oldest, the eldest is the eldest and the second oldest is the second oldest.

When the eldest child cannot control the second child, the eldest child is the second child and the second child is the eldest child.

He felt that he was the boss, even if he was two Beast Pills behind.

So he crossed his legs and smiled calmly, "It's great that the princess has achieved a breakthrough to Grandmaster level today, but I heard that one should practice meditation after achieving a breakthrough to Grandmaster level. If one does not practice meditation properly, one may hurt the body.

Thank you for escorting me all the way, Princess. I have wasted a lot of your time for meditation.

So I came here specially to ask how the princess is doing."

Li Xingluo couldn't help laughing when he saw his serious look: "Master Qin, you are suddenly so serious when you speak, are you thinking about something improper?"

Qin Muye's expression froze for a moment.

Damn!

He was fed two Hundred Beasts Pills and was aroused.

You were driven here again, a man and a woman alone in a room, and you are still dressed so simply.

What serious things could possibly be going through my mind?

[Sober] This fate skill is really useless.

It is said that he can decipher all kinds of spiritual magic.

Can't you just remove this lustful debuff of mine?
He was complaining in his heart, but he could only pretend to be serious: "Of course not, I am a gentleman! I am just concerned about the health of the princess, and I have no other intentions. The princess just needs to tell me if she is okay."

"That's okay!"

Li Xingluo was a little annoyed, waiting for him to reveal his true purpose.

Qin Muye breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you are fine, you don't need the handkerchief anymore. Can you return it to me, Princess?"

Li Xingluo: “???”

You came here in the middle of the night just to ask for a handkerchief?

Is Bai Yuji jealous and won't let you into bed?
Okay, okay, she’s jealous, so you come over and ask for it?
Just because you give something away, can you take it back?
It's just a handkerchief.

Do you think I'm rare?

Li Xingluo was a little angry. He quickly took out a sachet from under the pillow and took out the neatly folded handkerchief from it.

Then, in front of Qin Muye, she stuffed it into her bra.

It was stuffed very deep, but a corner was left outside.

She raised her eyebrows at Qin Muye and said provocatively, "Master Qin, don't you want it? The handkerchief is here, come and get it yourself!"

Qin Muye: “!!!”
