"Who the hell are you?"
"What are you hiding from me?"
Qi Yang's two consecutive questions forced Lu Qipei from the corner. Lu Qipei had never seen such a full-bodied little princess, and was inexplicably panicked for a while, until she saw the unease hidden in Qi Yang's eyes that was no less than hers.
The so-called forced questioning was actually just a test at the beginning, but the result of the test made Qi Yang uneasy.
Lu Qipei lowered his eyes and fell into contemplation, but Qi Yang didn't give her much time to think. Her plain white hand raised her chin, not flirting like before, but with a strong oppression, and a storm was brewing in her black eyes.
I can't hurt her, I've been sorry for her in my previous life...
Lu Qipei always remembered that she owed Qi Yang. So when she met Qi Yang's gaze at this moment, she closed her eyes slightly, and said something that Qi Yang had expected, but did not dare to think deeply: "Your Highness, you and I... Maybe we are born to be opposites."
Qi Yang's hand suddenly tightened, causing Lu Qipei's chin to hurt slightly.
Lu Qipei's words seemed to have no beginning or end, but Qi Yang was already smart, adding up what happened in the past and this life, a bold guess that had already been outlined suddenly formed in her heart. She frowned slightly and looked at the person in front of her: "Then Xie Yuan, what does it have to do with you?"
Lu Qipei didn't seem to have any more concerns when he said that before. She is calm by nature, and she doesn't want to hide too much from those who care about her. At this moment, she answers the question: "I don't know either, but it should be related." With a similar face, my housekeeper has also had private contact with Xie Hongyi, including the escape of the envoy of the Rong Kingdom this time, and he is also inseparable from the Lu family."
In a few words, it is considered that the Lu family's old bottom has been sold clean. Lu Qipei looked at Qi Yang, there was no haze or fear in his pure eyes, as if he had forgotten Qi Yang's natural position, but simply told the secret to his sweetheart.
The corners of Qi Yang's tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, not daring to imagine what the two of them would do if this matter were known to others.
After a long while, Qi Yang asked, "Why are you listening to me?"
Lu Qipei smiled calmly, looking at Qi Yang with tenderness and guilt in his eyes: "Because Your Highness asked."
Qi Yang felt sour and sweet in his heart because of the answer, but he still spoke sharp and tough words: "Aren't you afraid that I will hear about this matter and kill you and everyone in the Lu family?"
Lu Qipei seemed to have seen through her strong bluff, and stared at her for a while, but whispered: "If your highness wants my life, take it away, I owe it to your highness."
When Qi Yang heard the words, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that Lu Qipei owed him anything. Including her life experience, Qi Yang can also sense from the few words that she only learned about it recently, so it is not a deliberate deception. What's more, they had been entangled in her from the very beginning, and they couldn't blame Lu Qipei for their existence today.
In this situation, when in doubt, Qi Yang asked directly, "You haven't done anything yet, so what do you owe me?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Qipei did not answer such an ordinary question. She lowered her eyes slightly to avoid Qi Yang's gaze, and said, "I can't say it." After speaking, she seemed to be afraid of Qi Yang's heart, and added: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will live up to you in this life."
Of course, it does not only mean that Qi Yang is affectionate, but also means that she will not be disadvantaged by her position.
Qi Yang naturally understood that the moment Lu Qipei confessed such a secret to her, she knew her intentions - if it wasn't for her wholehearted trust, if it wasn't for her sincere entrustment, who would dare reveal such a secret to others
The bottom of my heart suddenly became unbelievably soft, and even the panic and insecurity I had before retreated because of this person in front of me. Qi Yang let out a sigh of relief, and no longer bothered with this question that Lu Qipei said he wouldn't say, but said, "What else do you know about the Lu family and Xie Yuan?"
Apart from the previous question, Lu Qipei really had to answer all the questions. She walked out of the corner, walked past Qi Yang, and finally pulled out a book from a box and handed it to Qi Yang. Qi Yang looked at the cover, it was "Tai, Zu Ben Ji", she looked at Lu Qipei in confusion, but Lu Qipei only reminded: "Your Highness can turn to the Dingguo chapter and see before and after."
Qi Yang opened the book according to his words, and didn't need to look for it, because there were obvious creases on that page. She looked at Lu Qipei, then looked down at the book in her hand, and finally read it silently.
Not long after, after reading the thin pages of the book, a little surprise flashed in Qi Yang's eyes.
Seeing that she seemed to have guessed something, Lu Qipei also looked at the book in her hand and said, "I didn't know anything about things at home. I found this book on the desk in the room by chance. Maybe it's a reminder, maybe it's a warning."
Qi Yang frowned and looked at her with an unprecedented solemnity on his face, but after thinking about it, he only asked, "Is there any evidence?"
After hearing this, Lu Qipei shook his head, but there was no luck on his face: "No, it's just speculation." After she finished speaking, she suddenly smiled bitterly: "I only knew about this recently, if I had known it earlier... It will implicate Your Highness."
After speaking, Junxiu's eyes were full of loneliness.
When things were really said, it wasn't as difficult as I thought at first. At least Lu Qipei is willing to be frank without concealment, and Qi Yang will not be suspicious of her because of her background.
After the initial conversation, the two calmed down.
Lu Qipei saw that it was getting late, knowing that Qi Yang didn't even need dinner, so he hurried out of the palace, and even sent someone to buy a table of food to come back. After the two of them calmly finished the meal, Lu Qipei asked, "Is Your Highness going back to the palace?"
Qi Yang rolled her eyes at her and said angrily, "I haven't finished talking yet, what palace are you going back to?"
Lu Qipei didn't ask any more questions. He took out a tea set and brewed tea in front of Qi Yang.
Qi Yang looked at the person on the opposite side through the fragrance of tea. She was originally such a person, magnanimous and pure, but she was born in a vortex and could not be free.
Looking at it, Qi Yang couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever had a grudge?"
Lu Qipei didn't expect that she would ask such a question. He paused for a moment while making tea, then lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Have you ever had one."
A person who has died once, no matter how broad-minded, how can he never have resentment? Even at the beginning of her rebirth, she decided to leave, not only because she could think about it, but also because she knew her situation, and it was easier to get revenge.
After this question and answer, the two of them stopped talking, only the occasional sound of water when making tea.
It was not until the tea was brewed that Lu Qipei put a tea cup full of green tea in front of Qi Yang, and the latter said again, "Since you don't hide anything from me, then tell me, what are your plans in the future?"
Lu Qipei squeezed the tea cup with some force, slightly turning white: "I will try to get His Majesty to take back his life."
Qi Yang was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, got up in anger and grabbed Lu Qipei's shirt across the table: "What are you talking about?!" How dare you think about breaking the marriage?!"
Lu Qipei was caught off guard, and when he raised his eyes, he met Qi Yang's angry face, shivering with fright, and almost splashed the hot tea on the two of them. Realizing the danger, she hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Your Highness, calm down, I'm just, I'm just..."
She couldn't say why, but Qi Yang glared at her and said: "You don't have the right to say anything, listen to me!"
Under the power of Her Royal Highness, Lu Qipei hesitated: "Oh."
Seeing that she had no temper, Qi Yang let go of the hand holding the other side's shirt, sat down again and took a sip from the tea cup. As a result, the tea that had just been brewed was still hot, and she drank it so fast that the tip of her tongue was so hot that she almost vomited.
When Lu Qipei saw it, he was immediately anxious, holding a cup and hurriedly urging her to spit up the hot tea, and then took unboiled water and asked her to drink it. After working hard for a while, seeing Qi Yang's expression as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief: "His Royal Highness opened his mouth to let me see, is it burnt?"
Of course Qi Yang refused, the tip of his tongue quietly touched his teeth, there was only a slight numbness, but he felt fine. So she waved her hand with a serious face, and said seriously, "I have nothing to do, and I still have serious things to say."
It's a pity that after the turmoil just now, no matter how powerful the little princess was before, the momentum has also disappeared.
Lu Qipei glanced at her worriedly, and didn't say anything. He just took care of the clothes that Qi Yang had messed up before, and sat down opposite her again. The back is straight, the sitting posture is correct, and the appearance of listening attentively seems equally serious.
Only then did Qi Yang bring the interrupted topic back to the right track: "You said before that the envoy of Rongguo got away, and the Lu family can't get rid of it. What's going on, please explain it to me first."
The most terrible old man told Qi Yang that Lu Qipei would naturally not hide her from these details. He started with Zeeber's suspicions, and then talked about the shops she took over, and then the traces of the forces that he found out along the way were also clear. Finally, she said that she noticed something different. After investigation, it was found that the envoy of Rongguo escaped and Qi Bo intervened, and most of them had already left Beijing and headed north.
After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that he was not detailed enough, or that Qi Yang couldn't remember it. Lu Qipei consciously found the pen and ink, and wrote down all the people involved in the Lu family, including their personal identities and characteristics. It is very convenient to find people.
With such hard work, Qi Yang couldn't help but look at Lu Qipei more when he saw it. He couldn't understand: "You just believe me like this?"
Lu Qipei put down his pen and smiled, and handed over the pages he had written: "I can trust Your Highness to treat me with sincerity."
Besides, what if His Highness has no thoughts? The Lu family has never treated her kindly, and what she does now is not righteous. She betrayed her without the slightest psychological burden—that heart was completely biased towards Her Royal Highness.
