884. Chapter 884 The Murderous Intent in the Distance
The moment Qianxue saw Murong Ke, her eyes suddenly turned red. She tried her best and trekked across thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally saw his handsome figure. Her excitement made her ignore the coldness in Murong Ke's eyes. Shuang, at this moment she just wanted to let Murong Ke know how much she had paid for him.
Teng Ye glanced around. Qianxue must have been followed if she could leave the Overwatch Council. How did she find Xiliang?
"Your Majesty." Qianxue bowed to Murong Ke, "Slave..."
"Who asked you to come here?" Murong Ke's tone was as cold as ice, and there was no pity or emotion in his eyes that Qianxue wanted.
This is different from what she imagined. She finally came to Xiliang. Shouldn't the prince be touched by her dedication first? Faced with Mo Rongzhan's persecution, she did not betray him. Didn't the prince have any thoughts of feeling sorry for her?
Teng Ye was relatively considerate. He whispered to Qianxue, "You should leave quickly. Why are you here? People will discover your whereabouts."
She has been serving the prince since she was a child, how can she pretend that she doesn't know him?
"My lord, are you afraid that someone is following Qianxue? Don't worry, I will throw them away. No one will know that I came to find you." Qianxue said.
Murong Ke glanced at her indifferently, turned around and walked into the inn.
Teng Ye sighed, "Do you think it's so easy to escape from the Overwatch Council? If Murong Zhan hadn't let you go on purpose, would you have been able to find Xiliang now? How come you were caught by Murong Zhan."
Qianxue couldn't get a compliment from Murong Ke, and she felt so sad that she wanted to die. When she heard Teng Ye's words, she glared at him, "Do you think I want the emperor to find out? But Wan Yanxi was hiding in the mountain, and she happened to meet him. When I went hunting with the emperor, he recognized me immediately.”
"So you also suspect the Pavilion Master?" Teng Ye asked with raised eyebrows.
Although the two brothers will show their swords to each other sooner or later, it is not good for Mo Rongzhan to suspect him so quickly.
Qianxue said, "I think he has already suspected the prince."
"Let's go in, we've already found it here anyway, it doesn't matter even if we are followed." Teng Ye said.
"What is the Pavilion Master doing here?" Qianxue asked in a low voice, wondering why Murong Ke came to Xiliang.
Teng Ye snorted coldly, "Besides that woman from Jin State, who else would the Pavilion Master risk his life for?"
Lu Yaoyao? Qianxue could not control the jealousy and hatred welling up in her heart, "She doesn't appreciate the fact that the Pavilion Master treated her like this."
If Murong Ke still cared about whether the other party appreciated it or not, he wouldn't be here.
After entering the room, Murong Ke stood by the window with his back to them. His tall and indifferent back made Qianxue's jealousy disappear immediately, and she did not dare to complain any more.
"Pavilion Master..." Qianxue called out softly.
"Is there any reason why you think you have to come to me?" Murong Ke didn't look back at Qian Xue, his voice was frighteningly cold.
Qianxue's face turned pale. Why did she come to him? When she escaped from the Overwatch Council, she was not afraid of death or torture. She was just afraid that she would never see her again. When she escaped, there was only one nod in her mind. She wanted to see him, even if it was just for a glimpse.
Now that she finally saw him, he asked her coldly why she had to come to him? Can she say that she wants to see him because she loves him?
"Pavilion Master, Mo Rongzhan has already doubted you. You can't go back to Kyoto. He will definitely find ways to frame you." Qianxue whispered, she...she came here for his safety. This can be considered. Doesn't it count as a reason?
Murong Ke turned back and glanced at her, with a faint smile on his lips, "Azhan has long suspected that if he wanted to frame me, would he still let me leave Kyoto? However, after today, he will not treat me the same way. Suspicion, but confirmation, thanks to you leading his people here and letting them see you coming to see me, which confirmed A Zhan’s suspicion about me.”
Qianxue said hurriedly, "No, it won't happen. I know someone is following me and I have already gotten rid of them. They will not follow me here."
Teng Ye sighed softly, "Mo Rongzhan's secret guards are not easy to get rid of. They let you find the traces just to make you think that you have got rid of them. Qianxue, you have been in Qianluosha for so many years, and you still can't get rid of them." It’s so easy to be fooled.”
"What?" Qianxue's face turned pale. Could it be that she was under Mo Rongzhan's control from the beginning and was being used?
"Where do you think the Overwatch Council is?" Murong Ke asked coldly.
Qianxue's expression changed, "I...I don't know."
Teng Ye couldn't bear to see her like this. After all, Qianxue was tricked by him. If he hadn't asked her to kill Wan Yanxi, she probably wouldn't have been captured by Murong Zhan. He turned to look at Murong Ke, "Anyway, we can't hide it for long. Even if Qianxue doesn't come to us, Mo Rongzhan will know sooner or later."
"Then... what should we do now?" Qianxue looked at Murong Ke in horror.
Murong Ke said calmly, "Go back."
Since Qianxue has come to her side, how can she be willing to leave him, "Pavilion Master, I will stay with you."
"No need." Murong Ke said lightly, "It's enough for me to have Teng Ye here."
"Pavilion Master..." Qianxue turned her head and glanced at Teng Ye, hoping that he could speak for her.
Teng Ye had already seen Qianxue's thoughts about Murong Ke. He smiled and persuaded, "Anyway, we still have a lot of things to do next. With one more person and one more helper, let Qianxue stay."
Murong Ke turned around and gave him a cold look, as if blaming him for meddling in his own business.
"Qianxue, did something happen over there in Jinguo?" Teng Ye asked, quickly changing the subject.
"I heard...I heard that Xiliang and Jin Kingdom have started a war, and Fan Luduo's military advisor is Lu Lingzhi." Qianxue said excitedly knowing that she could finally stay.
Murong Ke knew that Jin State was at war with Xiliang, but he didn't know about Lu Lingzhi's existence, "Lu Lingzhi?"
"It was Lu Lingzhi who killed the late empress. I heard..." Teng Ye glanced at him, "Lu Yaoyao was once captured by Lu Lingzhi. It seems that he had more than a simple brother-sister relationship with Lu Yaoyao."
Isn't it a simple brother-sister relationship? Although Yaoyao is Lu Lingzhi's cousin, she is not related by blood, so this sentence is not just a simple brother-sister relationship, but it is somewhat meaningful.
"Azhan has no feelings for Ye Zhen. It is impossible to destroy Lu Lingzhi for Ye Zhen. Lu Lingzhi must have done something." Obviously, this matter has something to do with Lu Yaoyao.
Murong Ke thought about what Lu Lingzhi would do, and he was immediately furious with Lu Lingzhi to kill him.
Lu Lingzhi, who was far away, seemed to feel a murderous aura coming from afar.
"Go to the priest's hall tonight and check out the relationship between Lu Lingzhi and the Witch King." Murong Ke said to Qian Xue.
