Rebirth of the Sovereign's Counterattack

A very light fragrance wafted through the room, and the peculiar fragrance of women's powder penetrated into the nostrils like silky strands.Bright candlelight was burning on the half-person-high candlestick, illuminating the entire corridor as if it were daytime, and the door at the end of the corridor was hung with layers of white veils, as if a huge spider's nest opened its bloody mouth towards people.

The disciple leading the way was as silent as a puppet, leading Meng Qingyun to the gate, then lifted the veil, and made a gesture of invitation respectfully.Meng Qingyun paused, and slowly stepped behind the veil.

When he entered Yunyao Peak, he felt that the atmosphere was quite different from before. If he had to find a few words to describe it, it would be gloomy and dead.This surprised Meng Qingyun a bit, because Qi Yao always loves ostentation and excitement, she has to choose the most beautiful disciples to wait in the hall, and there are a large group of people rushing in and out, and the place where she is must be full of stars The moon and the noise were abnormal, but now all these disappeared like an illusion, and the whole palace exuded a strong gloomy atmosphere under the night.

There was a slight movement behind the looming veil, like the sound of some kind of porcelain being crushed.Meng Qingyun saw a figure walking back and forth behind the veil, as if he was dancing, but also seemed to be attacking everything around him angrily.

Meng Qingyun stopped in her tracks, and whispered through the last veil, "Senior Sister Qi."

The swaying figure stopped moving, and a hoarse female voice came over, "Come in."

Meng Qingyun lifted the last layer of veil and walked in.

Fragments of vases, porcelain bowls, and decorations were scattered all over the floor, and the stools were overturned to the ground. The whole room was in a mess as if it had been looted by robbers.Meng Qingyun raised his head and saw that the robber in the center was kicking away the scattered things on the ground with his feet, his eyes wandering around in the pile of debris, as if he was looking for something.

"What is Senior Sister Qi looking for?"

"A branch of wintersweet." Qi Yao didn't look up at him, her voice was cold.

Meng Qingyun squatted down and pushed aside the debris at his feet, picked up a dry branch from the ground and handed it to her, "Is it this?"

Qi Yao finally raised her head, her fair face was as indifferent as an ice sculpture, the lower part of her eyes was blue, but her eyes shot out a cold and sharp light.She took the dead branch, bent down and randomly found a porcelain vase from the ground, inserted the dead branch and put it on the table.

"Senior sister, the flowers are gone." Meng Qingyun said.

Qi Yao stared at the dead branch and smiled coldly, "Not bad."

"When the flowers wither, it's useless to leave dead branches. It's better to throw them away and replace them with new ones."

Qi Yao turned her head slowly, she was wearing her usual black veil dress today, her lips were as red as blood, and her eyes were shining brightly in the dazzling firelight, she said, "Throw it away? If only I could throw away everything. Do you know who gave this Lamei?"

Meng Qingyun was slightly taken aback, then frowned, "...is it Senior Brother Lin?"

"You are not stupid. That's right, it was sent by Lin Rufeng." Qi Yao stepped on the fragments and came to him, stretched out her thin white index finger to lift his chin, "He's dead, but I won't stop there , as if nothing happened... Do you understand what I mean by calling you here tonight?"

Meng Qingyun lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "Please tell me, Senior Sister."

His stature has grown a lot unconsciously, Qi Yao had to look up when talking to him, maybe this gave her a lot of pressure, so she grabbed his collar and pulled his face towards her , "Express? Don't play dumb with me! How much do you know about Qi Zhaoyang and Qin Hui? Tell me honestly!"

"That's all I know. I told you all last time." Meng Qingyun let her pull on the collar, and said in a neutral tone, "If you still want to hear, Senior Sister, I can say it again."

Anger quickly filled Qi Yao's face, she suddenly pushed Meng Qingyun away, her eyes were like a female animal wanting to devour someone, "Are you unwilling to say it, or are you afraid to say it?!"

"Not at all." Meng Qingyun took a step back and stood firm, shaking his head, "Sister, I believe you must have spent a lot of effort to catch them, but you must have gained nothing, right? They are so careful, how could people Arbitrary capture? I just accidentally bumped into it last time. Besides, I don't want to go through this muddy water again, if I let Senior Brother Qi know that I have leaked secrets to you, I will definitely die a miserable death."

"If you don't help me, you will die even worse!" Qi Yao said viciously.

Meng Qingyun seemed to help Fu Fu's forehead a little helplessly, "Senior Sister, you can't do this, I don't want to get involved in this matter..."

"Aren't you afraid of him? Are you not afraid of me?!" Seeing his repeated refusal, Qi Yao became furious. Suddenly, with a sneer, she drew a black whip from her waist and slammed it on the ground, splashing countless tiny tiles with a bang.

Meng Qingyun said knowingly: "Senior sister, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to find evidence of their private meeting!" Qi Yao seemed to have calmed down a little, and even had a little smile on her face. She walked to the soft couch near the wall and sat down, her body seemed to have lost all strength Soft pour on top.

"Senior Sister, I can help you, but it's best for you to find the evidence yourself." Meng Qingyun said, before Qi Yao became furious, and continued, "You don't believe people who tell you about this kind of thing, and they can also insist that it's not so The thing is, there is a saying in the mortal world called catching the rape and catching the current, only if you catch them face to face, they can't deny it."

Qi Yao frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, but how do you catch the current situation?"

Meng Qingyun walked up to her, took out a box and a small bottle, and handed them to her.Qi Yao stretched out a hand to flick the thing in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"It's ecstasy, hallucination, medicine and beauty cream." Meng Qingyun smiled and said, "Sister may use it."

The night was thick, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the world was as black as ink.The night wind was blowing silently, and the outlines of the trees were like ferocious beasts, hiding in the dark and watching everything silently.

Qi Zhaoyang suddenly opened his eyes and sat up on the bed. A little sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breath was also a little short. After a while, he called out slowly: "Han Ji."

Han Ji, who was guarding outside the house, hurried in when he heard the movement, "Master?"

Qi Zhaoyang looked out the dark window and asked, "What time is it?"

Han Ji respectfully replied: "It's already Zishi."

Qi Zhaoyang rubbed the center of his eyebrows, lifted the quilt and got off the bed.Han Ji hurried over to help him take the clothes from the hanger and put them on for him, "Young Master, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Can't sleep." Qi Zhaoyang shook his head, Qi Yao's movements couldn't be hidden from him at all.He didn't know why Qi Yao sent people to monitor him. They were brothers and sisters, they had no grievances, and they were on the same boat. What made her send people to investigate her?

Qi Zhaoyang walked to the window and looked out at the dark and silent night.

He was unwilling to guess the most likely reason, because he had been avoiding encountering such a situation, but the facts forced him to think - did she know?Confirmed?How much do you know?What are you going to do?

He thought of many solutions, but one thing is certain - this kind of thing should be avoided at this time anyway.So he seldom meets Qin Hui recently, and even when they meet, they only talk about business affairs, limiting the scope of communication to ordinary friends.

It was already spring, but the weather was still cold. The chill in the air kept coming in through the window, and it was bitingly cold.Even with spiritual protection, Qi Zhaoyang still felt a bit cold.

The deliberately soft footsteps came from far to near, Qi Zhaoyang did not move, Han Ji quietly withdrew, and walked in again after a while, whispering: "Master, Miss is here."

As a bodyguard brought out from the servants, Han Ji's title has not changed.

"Let her go back."

"She must see you." Han Ji added, "Meng Qingyun is with her."

Meng Qingyun is here too?

Qi Zhaoyang finally turned around, his face was obscured in the shadows, "Then let them wait."

"Yes." Han Ji retreated respectfully, but Qi Zhaoyang still stood by the window and looked outside silently.After a while, he tidied up his clothes and walked out slowly.

The candles that were originally extinguished have been lit, and an incense burner is also lit in the side hall. The light fragrance dispels drowsiness and refreshes people's spirits.

Qi Yao wasn't sitting down, she was standing in the center of the side hall, and the light illuminated her face so finely.Meng Qingyun stood on her right, with a calm expression on her face, holding a wooden food box in her hand.

"Qi Yao." Qi Zhaoyang walked out with a smile on his face. Qi Yao turned his head, walked over with a smile and embraced his arm, and said coquettishly, "Brother, you won't be angry for disturbing you so late, right?"

She has a charming demeanor and smiles, as long as it is a man, she will not be angry, Qi Zhaoyang said with a smile: "Why? But come to me so late, is there something important?"

"I heard that you haven't been sleeping well recently, so I specially cooked some tonic soup for you."

"You're so good?" Qi Zhaoyang asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Qi Yao gave him a blank look, let go of his hand, walked quickly to Meng Qingyun, opened the food box, took out a bowl of thick soup in a white jade bowl, walked to him, held it up and said to him, "Brother, this is my little sister's wish, you must accept it!"

In the middle of the night, I came to deliver soup for no reason, and brought an outsider with me...

"Young Sect Master." He said to Meng Qingyun.

Meng Qingyun said: "Don't dare to do it, Senior Brother Qi doesn't need to worry too much. I came here with Senior Sister Qi today. Senior Sister Qi spent an hour making soup with all her heart. Senior Sister has a sincere heart for Senior Brother Qi. Qingyun, an outsider, saw this They were all very touched.”

Qi Yao handed the soup to Qi Zhaoyang again, with earnest eyes.

Qi Zhaoyang took the bowl and put it on the nearest table, "Don't worry, I won't drink now."

Qi Yao's face changed slightly, "Brother, don't you think that little sister is not doing well?"

"No."

Qi Yao was aggressive, and said with a sneer, "Could it be that the younger sister is afraid that the soup will be poisoned?"

"Of course not!" Qi Yao said that the character of turning against each other gave everyone a headache. Qi Zhaoyang knew this sister's temper. After thinking about it, he picked up the bowl of soup and said, "Then I'll drink it!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, his movements were crisp and neat, without any sloppiness.

Qi Yao stared at him as he finished drinking the soup, then smiled again, "Brother, how is this soup?"

"Very good, my sister's craftsmanship is good." Qi Zhaoyang gestured to her for the empty bowl that had already been drunk, and then put it on the table.

"Brother, do you know when Daddy will marry me and Qin Hui?" Qi Yao asked suddenly.

Qi Zhaoyang was slightly taken aback, and then laughed, "I thought you came to me in the middle of the night for something important, so you are so anxious, little girl! I don't know this question, I don't know what father means, but I can Ask for you."

Qi Yao immediately said: "Then I'm going to trouble my brother."

Qi Zhaoyang looked at her with eyes that could almost be called warmth, and his voice was soft, "Why be so polite, we are brothers and sisters, shouldn't brothers and sisters help each other?"

"Yeah, brothers and sisters are supposed to help each other." Qi Yao's mouth twitched, her face gradually turned cold, she stopped talking, as if she didn't want Qi Zhaoyang to see the expression on her face, "Brother, remember to ask Ask dad."

"must."

"It's not right for me to disturb you at this time. I won't disturb my brother's rest." Qi Yao raised her jaw towards Meng Qingyun as she spoke.Meng Qingyun came over and put away the jade bowl on the table and put it in a box, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, as if he was a puppet who only obeyed orders.

After packing up, he returned to stand behind Qi Yao, and Qi Yao took him away from the side hall. Before going out, Qi Yao suddenly turned around and said to Qi Zhaoyang who was still standing in the middle of the hall: "Brother, will you know?" Bless me and Qin Hui?"

She turned her face sideways, and outside the gate was a thick black ink, which enveloped the figures of the two of them like wings, and the shadow covered her face, making it difficult for people to see the expression on her face clearly.

Qi Zhaoyang was slightly taken aback, and then said, "Of course."

The corners of Qi Yao's mouth curled up, showing a hint of sarcasm and coldness, then she turned around and strode into the night.

Until the figures of the two disappeared, Qi Zhaoyang suddenly waved to Han Ji who was on the side, and Han Ji hurriedly brought a basin over.Qi Zhaoyang lowered his head, patted his chest with his hand, and spit out a puddle of white thick juice.
