Distress?
Situ Xunxiao openly confessed his feelings, but he was embarrassed like a young man. It seemed that he was really moved. Nangong Muxi looked at him with mixed feelings. Who would have thought that the two brothers would like the same person, and in such a short time, this person would take root in their hearts.
"Didn't her father want her to be the one who brings disaster upon herself?" Nangong Muxi put away his inner thoughts and turned to ask Situ Xunxiao, wanting to know how he weighed all this in his heart.
Yes, he was different from Nighthawk and the others. He firmly believed in Xunxiao's every thought and reason. So, after hearing what they said, although he was anxious, he would not lose his sense of proportion. Especially at this moment, looking at the indifference on Xunxiao's face, although a little embarrassed, he generously admitted his own feelings, which made him feel relieved.
After years of knowing each other, I naturally understand that he acted like this without hiding anything or making many excuses. He must have a clear mind and a plan to deal with it long ago.
"The letter that I have read is full of threats and inducements. If it weren't for Zong Zheng Xiaoting's ambiguity and refusal to agree, I'm afraid Zong Zheng Wei Mo would not have needed to write this letter. Even I am suspecting that her escape from marriage may not be as simple as assassination in the eyes of her father. I'm afraid her father also suspects that this is one of the means to escape from marriage, which is why he sent this letter to threaten her." Situ Xunxiao had no intention of hiding anything from Nangong Muchi. He frankly expressed all his doubts.
Listening to Situ Xunxiao's guesses and speculations, Nangong Muxi couldn't help but frown. "Isn't her mother the emperor's favorite concubine? And judging from the marriage, she is obviously extremely favored!" Nangong Muxi thought about the care and favor shown by the emperor at that palace banquet, as well as everything he learned about the second princess in Luozha Kingdom during that time. Combined with the information revealed between the lines after Zong Zheng Yunchun married into Tianxi Kingdom, the doubts in his heart gradually became clear.
Yes, it seems that he asked this question, but after asking it, he has already got his answer. Since ancient times, the supremacy of imperial power has made these emperors sitting on the dragon throne more calculating and calculating than anyone else. So even for the concubines, whether it is for the balance of power or true favor, no one can be 100% sure. But in order to achieve their own goals, showing favor is what they are best at.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think that the woman who was doted on by her father was hurt and lonely when she saw the letter. From Xun Xiao's words, he naturally knew that she was a very smart woman. I'm afraid that when she saw the letter again, she must have known that all this was just an illusion. Although his understanding and knowledge of her was limited to the sound of the piano and everything they said about her, he couldn't help but think of her hurt expression in his heart.
"I guess she must be very hurt?" Nangong Muxi blurted out, and the bitter smile on his face did not escape Situ Xunxiao's eyes.
"Mu Xi, you..." Situ Xunxiao frowned slightly.
"She not only has the same hobbies as me, but her qinyi also makes me feel like I have met a soulmate. I never thought that everything that happened to her was so similar to what happened to me." Nangong Muxi smiled bitterly, "I used to be the most favored prince. Who could have thought that I would eventually be passed on to a royal relative, and from then on I would have no chance of the throne and be ridiculed? I guess the huge contrast and discomfort in my heart at that time should be the same as hers now, right?"
Knowing Nangong Muxi's pain, Situ Xunxiao chose to believe that it was just a sympathy caused by sympathy. "You haven't found the cause yet?"
Nangong Muxi shook his head. "Although there is such a guess, there is still no clue. What about you?"
"The palace is heavily guarded, and I am even more vigilant. The spies planted there cannot be so eager to search for these old things. I have been waiting for more than ten years. I am not in a hurry, but..." Situ Xunxiao paused, "Now that Luozhe Country is also involved, I am indeed a little worried."
"Is her choice to stand on her father's side?" Nangong Muxi couldn't help but frowned and asked.
"It's easy to deal with if that's true." The bitterness between Situ Xunxiao's brows naturally did not escape Nangong Muxi's eyes.
Nangong Muxi couldn't hide her surprise when she heard Situ Xunxiao's story. When did Situ Xunxiao come up with such a plan? He planned and plotted for love.
Nangong Muxi stared at him, and once again resumed the evil and charming look he usually showed in front of others. "I never thought that once he was in deep trouble, he would put all his thoughts and calculations on winning love."
Nangong Muxi's teasing voice made Situ Xunxiao smile, "Those who achieve great things don't care about small details."
"I am just curious about how a woman can make you so interested in her. After all, I am only attracted by her playing of the piano. Her elegant and graceful mind and her ability to understand people's feelings are not enough to make me believe that such a woman is enough to conquer your arrogant and cold heart." Nangong Muxi's tone was full of inquiry.
"Indeed, she is just a greedy, calculating, and even a little inexplicable woman." When talking about Zong Zheng Xiaoting's shortcomings, Situ Xunxiao's tone could not hide his doting.
"Speaking of greed, it is really unbelievable that a princess from the harem would have such characteristics, not to mention that someone who can play the piano so beautifully would be a greedy person, which really surprises me!" Nangong Muxi shook her head, looking unbelievable, "But if it is really greed, then the attraction of the world's richest businessman to her is indeed extraordinary."
Although he was reluctant to say such hurtful words, he had to remind Situ Xunxiao.
"I always feel that her feelings for him may not be love, but maybe she just likes him because of the wealth." Situ Xunxiao said calmly, "This feeling and intuition is not because I am confused, but I always feel vaguely that it is not that simple."
Looking at Situ Xunxiao, Nangong Muxi nodded in his heart. Although liking someone would make one's mind waver, based on his understanding of the person over the years, he believed that he was not the one who was confused.
"It seems that this future sister-in-law is set in stone. I also believe that you will never give her a chance to escape. If she is really as special as you say, I am afraid that the one who can make you fall in love with her will not be an ordinary woman, not to mention that this ordinary woman can't catch your eye, even though she looks like a vulgar woman." Nangong Muxi did not ask further, he knew very well that Situ Xunxiao would naturally have his own attention. As for Zong Zheng Weimo's little calculation, after he had fallen in love with Zong Zheng Xiaoting, he naturally would not allow him to hurt her in the slightest.
As for the friendship that had just sprouted, from today on, it would be buried properly. Nangong Muxi raised his eyes, "How about I, your brother, take care of you and take a look at your future sister-in-law?"
