Quick Wear: Pampering Your Lover

Chapter 26: Early Death Background Board Becomes Group Favorite (3)

Qi Shanyu brought Mingzhen back to the room. He couldn't help but pick her up and put her on the desk, staring at her intently.

Qi Shanyu originally bought this desk in order to get closer to Ming Zhen by offering to teach her calligraphy and painting. Now it was convenient for him. Ming Zhen, who was sitting on the desk, was only slightly lower than him, and their eyes were almost at eye level, making it impossible for Ming Zhen to avoid his gaze.

"Azhen, I'm so sad."

Qi Shanyu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes blocking his expression, and said in a low voice, "You haven't even called me brother, yet you are so close to someone else..."

Mingzhen was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that his first sentence was not an accusation but a sign of weakness. So she relaxed a little, and the desire to resist gradually subsided.

Facing Qi Shanyu's aggrieved look, she couldn't bear to refuse. After thinking for a while, she could only shyly call out, "Brother Xuanzhi..."

After all, Qi Shanyu has been really good to her these days. Every item in this room was carefully selected by him. They look simple and low-key, but they are all rare and excellent treasures. He also personally handles everything related to her.

Qi Shanyu was finally satisfied after hearing the name he wanted to hear, but he was still angry about what had just happened.

Dark thoughts surged uncontrollably in his mind. Looking at the well-behaved and clueless girl in front of him, he curled his lips with a happy expression and kissed Mingzhen on her smooth and plump forehead.

Mingzhen was startled and hurriedly retreated, but forgot that there was nothing behind him and almost fell off the table. Fortunately, Qi Shanyu reached out and grabbed her waist, and Mingzhen was brought back into the man's arms, even tightly against him, with no gap.

His breath hit Mingzhen's neck, making her feel a little uncomfortable, but what he said next shocked Mingzhen so much that she stood there in shock and forgot to react.

"Azhen, you know, we are an engaged couple."

He seemed to be feeling sad. "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it right away, so I wanted to tell you slowly after some time, but I got scared... Ah Zhen, please don't like anyone else, okay..."

Mingzhen felt a sharp pain in her mind for a moment, as if some images flashed through her mind quickly. She felt that she did have a fiancé...

So Mingzhen hesitated for a moment and nodded gently, "Okay, I don't like anyone else anymore."

She didn't like anyone anyway.

No one knew that a figure flashed by in the darkness.

......

After receiving the news, Kong Ji returned to Zhu Mansion and reported everything to the young master.

"Qi Shanyu is actually the leader of the Zhixian Sect."

Weaving the string gate, knowing everything.

Xuanzhi, weaving strings.

Zhu Xi took a sip of hot tea and snorted softly, "With such a vast source of information, it's no wonder he was favored by the old emperor. He was also able to react extremely quickly to avoid traps and even interfere with my plans..."

He thought carefully about how to use this information.

Normally, it would be difficult for him to find out Qi Shanyu's identity, but recently, for the sake of Miss Azhen, he mobilized his forces and manpower in the dark, allowing Zhu Xi to follow the clues and find out his identity.

He had always felt that this person was no ordinary person, and that there must be a force behind him helping him. However, no matter how he investigated, it showed that he was just a poor student who climbed up the ladder through his own strength.

"Azhen, Qi Zhenyu?" After a long pause, he sighed, "What a great show."

If he hadn't already found out Ah Zhen's true identity, he might have believed it.

Azhen, whose original name was Mingzhen, was the eldest daughter of Mingshu, the Minister of Rites. She also had a fiancé, Rao Chen, the eldest son of the Rao family.

A year ago, Mingzhen fell off a cliff on his way to Xiangshan Temple to pray for his elders and disappeared.

Ming Shu has two daughters, both of whom are said to be as beautiful as fairies. Minister Ming treats his two daughters like treasures. After Ming Zhen disappeared, he has been searching for her whereabouts.

Until three months ago, the second daughter and Rao Chen expressed their feelings to each other, so the two families re-arranged their marriage. Ming Shu also focused on the second daughter, and seemed to really believe that Ming Zhen was dead, so he withdrew many people.

Now she unexpectedly returned to the capital and lost her memory.

At that time, no one knew who murdered her, and they could only wait for her memory to recover. However, Zhu Xi felt that the person who murdered her must be someone around her, such as her sister, who was very suspicious.

Therefore, staying with Qi Shanyu is her best choice at the moment. She can stay under Qi Shanyu's protection and obtain a new identity. If she returns to Ming Mansion, it will be unsafe.

Of course, she could still resist Shao Yi's approach. After all, saving her life was not just a token of gratitude. As for Qi Shanyu herself, anything gained through deception was destined to be short-lived...

While Zhu Xi was thinking, he recalled the tragedy that happened ten years ago.

Yes, he has such a deep blood feud that he has no right to indulge in love.

The plot to kidnap and kill the court official by the bandits in Luoyi Mountain was very successful. The kidnapped court official was a corrupt official under Taifu Meng. Although he was a corrupt official, few people knew about it. He was highly valued by the court with the recommendation of Taifu Meng. Naturally, the emperor was furious when such a scandal occurred.

He sent someone to incite Shao Yi again, and Shao Yi immediately took the bait and volunteered to suppress the bandits.

As for why Shao Yi was chosen, it was naturally because Shao Yi hated evil and would never show partiality. If he found evidence hidden by the bandits, he would definitely inform the general who would investigate secretly and report to the emperor.

After all, to do such a thing as clearing someone's name, only a person who is upright and deeply loved by the people would do it without fear of anyone.

"There are still three months before the Spring Banquet, and we must ensure that the plan is foolproof." Zhu Xi finished his tea and turned it upside down on the table, with a cruel look in his eyes.

......

Zhu Xi was dreaming again.

In his dream, the sky was filled with red light and an ominous atmosphere was all around. He hid in a small dark room and saw through the narrow gap that many relatives and servants were killed in the blood.

My aunt also came. She knelt down and begged the man in bright yellow clothes. She was usually elegant and graceful, but now her clothes were disheveled and she was covered in dirt.

"Your Majesty, please spare the Mi family. I beg you to spare my father and mother, Your Majesty!"

The once pampered and beloved Concubine Mi was now being trampled into the mud, yet she still pleaded, "Your Majesty, my father would never do anything that would betray the country and the enemy. Please, Your Majesty, see clearly!"

A man with a smile on his face immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, the evidence is irrefutable. Censor Mi has committed suicide out of fear of punishment. If he is left alive, I'm afraid it will cause disaster..."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then finally issued an order, "Minister Meng is right. The Mi family's crimes are unforgivable and must be executed without mercy!"

His eyes fell on the embarrassed imperial concubine, with a complex and loving look, "My beloved concubine, Mi deserves the punishment she deserves. If you are sensible, I can spare your life."

The imperial concubine laughed at herself and took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

"Protect the emperor!" Master Meng immediately stepped forward and protected the emperor behind him, but the imperial concubine did not move. She just gave the emperor a last sad look.

"I will die to prove my innocence. I hope Your Majesty will investigate the truth and clear my clan's name!"

Concubine Mi, the most favored concubine in the harem, committed suicide.

......

"aunt!"

Zhu Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
