Diao Yi looked at Shangguan Qingxi in confusion, then folded his arms across his chest and raised his eyebrows proudly in front of this old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

That look was completely different from the pretentious, cool and stuffy look she had when she was in front of Wei Ye or even her own daughter!

Shangguan Qingxi suddenly felt that her brain was not enough.

Perhaps even Diao Yi himself did not realize the impact of his words.

Wait, let her smooth it out carefully.

What do you mean he also performed Wei Li’s facial surgery?

"Wei, Wei Li, Wei Li's face is also fake?"

At that time, Shangguan Qingxi didn’t know how to describe her mood.

Is it shocking? Or hesitation?

Or is it confusion... ?

Before she started investigating Wei Li's identity, she suddenly heard from others that Wei Li's face was fake.

Her face is fake, to hide her identity, so what about Wei Li?

What is he doing this for?

Is it the same as hers, trying to hide his identity?

So, a new question arises, what is Wei Li’s true identity?

It seemed that in just a moment, Shangguan Qingxi discovered that Wei Li was more than just a blank sheet of paper in front of her.

Apart from his identity as the eldest son of Prince Rong's Mansion, she discovered that the more she investigated, the more mysterious she found this person to be.

If he is really Wei Yi...

Shangguan Qingxi's nose suddenly felt sore, and she suddenly didn't dare to think further.

In this life, they are no longer Du Yunge, and no longer Wei Yi.

Both identity and appearance have actually undergone tremendous changes. Naturally, the trajectory of life has become completely different from that of the previous life.

However, she was very curious. She was curious whether Wei Li in this life would be as brilliant as in the previous life, or...

Is he really as he appears to be in this life... a playboy?

Shangguan Qingxi didn't dare to think about it, nor could she think about it. She could only look at Diao Yi with incomprehensible eyes, hoping to know something from him.

But Diao Yi's reaction was ultimately within expectations.

"I'm sorry, since you don't know, I can't tell you. When you have time, go ask him in person!"

Just with this sentence, Shangguan Qingxi understood immediately, "You know his identity, right?"

"Identity? What identity?"

Diao Yi's eyes flickered slightly and he began to pretend to be confused.

Because this "identity" covered too many aspects, he couldn't pinpoint what she was talking about, let alone what to say and what not to say.

In the end, this was the only way he could answer her.

"Then tell me, does Liuying know?"

Diao Yi looked at her confidently and shook his head: "She doesn't know."

If she knew, I'm afraid you would have known it long ago. Why would I have to show off here?

Shangguan Qingxi was not surprised that he told her this. In fact, he was only able to say this because of their friendship.

If it were someone else, they might not say a single word.

It is precisely because she knows Diao Yi too well and is aware that there are too many secrets in their line of work that this is the most basic professional ethics.

So she gave up asking further questions and just nodded lightly, indicating that she understood.

Because of this awkward situation, there was silence between the two for a long time before Shangguan Qingxi changed the subject.

"Liu Ying, do you need my help?"

Diao Yi shook his head. "No, you go do your thing. I just have nothing to do. Besides, a small palace can't stop us, father and daughter."

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then Diao Yi left.

After he left, Shangguan Qingxi sat very quietly at the table. Her long eyelashes cast a dark silhouette in the candlelight, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking about writing.

"Master Ghost Doctor, are you okay?"

Just then, Ruyan's voice was heard outside the door. Shangguan Qingxi was slightly startled, then stood up and opened the door. After the two exchanged a few words at the door, Qingxi pulled her in.

"What's going on? Why did I hear some noise in your room just now? Are you okay?"

As soon as they entered the room, Ruyan pulled her and watched the movements in the room warily. Her cautious look made her laugh and cry, but she also felt inexplicably sad.

In particular, such a scene had appeared around her countless times, but at that time, she had no idea that one day in the future, she would end up crying because of a familiar scene.

People are often like this. They only learn to cherish something when they lose it.

Qingxi turned away with difficulty with tearful eyes, shook her head gently, her voice trembling.

"Good Yan'er, I'm fine. I'm standing right in front of you, okay?"

"But you, coming to my room in the middle of the night, what if you are discovered?"

Ruyan curled her lips indifferently, "I am already thirty years old, do I still care about the so-called reputation?"

As he said this, he looked at her suspiciously, then stuck out his chin, glanced at the teacup on the table, and said unhappily.

"You said everything was fine, but was there someone coming just now?"

Qingxi took a look and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly pulled Ruyan to sit down.

"I said I'm fine. It was Diao Yi who came just now. Diao Yi, do you remember him?"

When Diao Yi came during the day, she was still guarding Prince Rong, so naturally there was no chance for them to communicate.

Ruyan's pupils suddenly dilated, and then she slapped her thigh, and her mouth opened into an O shape.

"Oh my god, why did I hear them talking about this name today? Why does it sound so familiar? Could it be that Diao Yi you mentioned is Yingzi's senior brother?"

Shangguan Qingxi calmly took the tea, took a sip, and nodded at her: "Yes, it's him."

Ruyan then felt as if she had missed something. Thinking of the girl she accidentally saw today, who looked like a shadow but had a quirky personality, was beautiful and outspoken, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Then, that child, could it be Yingzi and Diao Yi's child?"

Shangguan Qingxi glared at her unhappily, "If it's not with Diao Yi, then could it be with someone else?"

"It's a pity that, because of me, they only had one child. If there is a chance, Diao Yi should take the initiative. Yes, it would be best if I could get pregnant with a second child this time, so that I can be worthy of both of them."

Ruyan stared at her master in astonishment, "If Yingzi heard this, she would definitely pester you to no end."

"We haven't finished our business yet. She is still a lady-in-waiting in the palace. If a lady-in-waiting gets pregnant, it will be a big deal. She will lose her head! Besides, at our age, we are already..."

"Shh, don't say these nonsense when you are here with me. What do you mean by your age? What's wrong with your age? You are just over 30 years old. Don't worry, I am here to help you conceive successfully."

"Whether it's a man or a child, there will be some. Only such a life can be complete, isn't it?"

Faced with her master's lofty words, Ruyan no longer knew what to use to describe her feelings at that moment.

It would be a lie to say that she doesn't want to. Every woman wants to find an honest and decent man to marry and have a child of their own.

They live an honest life, especially after nearly twenty years of changes in the times, their state of mind is no longer the same as before.

If it were in the past, as the Empress's personal maid, or even a maidservant during the dowry, she would at least be able to marry a minor official with a clean background. If she was lucky, the standard might even be higher. But now...

After the Du murder, their mentality had undergone a drastic change.

In this life, we don’t seek great wealth and honor. We don’t seek it. We really don’t seek it. No matter how much wealth and honor we have, we have to have the life to enjoy it.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and the same is true for power.

I have heard for a long time that once a man has all these at the same time, he will change. At first they all think that this kind of thing will never happen to them, and it is even less likely to happen to their masters, but what is the result?

What did that woman who sacrificed herself for her husband and the world behind him get in the end?

Not only did she die without a complete body, but also her children, even her family, and those innocent people died because of her.

Although she didn't think it was her fault, the fact had already happened and the tragedy was irreversible. So what if she didn't admit it?

The result is still the result, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Although the outcome cannot be changed, the life trajectory of the living people, even those who have been reborn, can be changed!

She is already thirty years old and does not dare to expect too much. She only wants someone who understands her and truly loves her. Even if he does not have a prominent status, money or looks, as long as his heart is with her, she will be satisfied.

Of course, the prerequisite is that she has to have that fate.

She knows what she is doing now, and she also knows what she will face in the future.

In fact, being able to have children is really a luxury. Over the past ten years, she even felt that she had survived by chance. She had taken advantage of her sisters for more than ten years, and it was enough.

If she could complete the mission of living in this world, then she would have no regrets in her life.

To her, a man and a child are an unattainable dream!

Therefore, in response to Shangguan Qingxi's words, Ruyan just smiled lightly and said, "Then Ruyan is looking forward to the arrival of this day!"

There was a hint of reluctance and sincerity in Ruyan's smile, and one could feel it clearly.

But at this moment, what else can she say except silence?

Should I say that everything I say comes from my heart? Or should I just trust me?

In the past, she had promised to find a good husband for them, but what was the final result?

Even after so many years, Ruyan is still alone. For her sake, she even stays in the deep palace, fearfully guarding against Wei Yuchen, who can take her life at any time.

Among the four maids, Liuying was the one she rescued by accident. She was not sold to her, nor did she grow up with her.

But even so, she still devoted half of her life to herself.

Not to mention Ruyan, Xique and Jinmo who have followed her since childhood, they are even more eager to give their hearts to her.

No matter whether she is Du Yunge or Shangguan Qingxi, what virtue or ability does she have to make them sacrifice so much for her?

The clarity of this moment makes my mood extremely complicated.

She knew that no matter how much she said or how many promises she made, it would be useless.

Instead of wasting time here, she should plan for the future and repay these sisters who have given everything for her with practical actions.

Live, as long as they can live well and find their own happiness.

That is what she, as the master, should do most. Everything else is just clouds, just clouds!

Although Qixia Villa is called a villa, in fact it is not just a villa. It is located in the most mysterious Nine Mountains within the territory of Tiandu Country.

As the name suggests, Kuju Mountains consists of nine mountains with different altitudes.

Between the mountains, some mountains are next to each other, leaving only a narrow gap in the sky for one person to pass through.

Some are mountains surrounded by water, and some are mountains surrounded by lakes.

In short, it's a lot of twists and turns, and if you're not careful, you'll get lost in it.

If you are not an authentic mountain dweller in the Jiuchong Mountains or a member of the Qixia Villa, it would be very difficult to get around.

To outsiders, the reason why Kuju Mountain is mysterious is because of its unique geographical location.

The Jiuchong Mountains are relatively safe on weekdays, but once an abnormal human is found entering the mountains, at best he will get lost in the mountains, faint from hunger and be sent away, at worst he will be swallowed by the poisonous fog.

This is because every mountain above these nine mountains is a branch point of Qixia Villa.

Therefore, once you enter the territory of Jiuchong Mountain, you will be listed as a key investigation target.

Wei Li was wearing a black brocade robe and a golden mask covering his face. He did not need anyone to lead the way, nor did he need to row the boat. He could rely on his own internal strength to make the boat drift automatically on the lake.

His showing of his skills immediately alerted the troops in the dark.

Just looking at this level, it is clear that they cannot resist it.

But in the blink of an eye, one Saker Falcon after another flew out from the first hill and passed on one after another.

Wei Li curled the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at Jiuchong Mountain, which he had not seen for many years, in a very good mood. In addition to excitement, he also felt a little curious.

He has not been back for many years. Is the Jiuchong Mountain today still the Jiuchong Mountain he once knew?

I'm sure you'll encounter different levels of interception along the way, right?

This is a good opportunity to challenge yourself and stretch your muscles.

This saves you from having to do warm-up exercises before getting up there and being bothered by a few old guys.

Moreover, he also wanted to see whether the defense system of Jiuchong Mountain had improved after many years.

Just as Wei Li was rubbing his hands, ready to accept a series of challenges, his face, which was originally full of interest, suddenly fell when he saw several small boats rushing towards him among the mountains.

Not only did it collapse, it even turned completely dark.

He immediately looked like he was going to turn around and leave.

But before he could put it into action, someone caught up with him even faster.

He only saw a flash of red shadow before his eyes, and the graceful red shadow had already landed steadily on the small boat at his feet that could only accommodate two people.

The moment Ni Hongluan's stunningly beautiful face saw Wei Li, she immediately leaned forward excitedly with her plump breasts.

"Yi, you are finally here?"

Wei Yi frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Hongluan, how many times have I told you not to call that name? It has become a thing of the past. I can't go back to the past now. Why do you always lock yourself in the past?"

"How many times have I told you, don't live for him anymore, you have to live for yourself, for yourself, understand?"

"I am doing this for myself now. You are him and he is you, isn't he?"

"It's enough for me to know this. Over the years, you've said the same thing every time we meet. Can't you try something new?"

Ni Hongluan was somewhat dissatisfied with his coldness. Just as she was about to step forward, she heard Sikong Linghao's rude mockery from behind.

"You old woman, don't you realize how old you are now? Do you still want to eat young grass?"

"Don't mention that Wei Li is only sixteen years old now. Even if he is the same age as before, do you think you, Ni Hongluan, can be worthy of him?"

"You reckless martial arts fanatic, do you have the right to speak here? I am willing, I am happy, how about it? Do you have the guts to beat me?"

Faced with someone's rude ridicule, Ni Hongluan seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and her skin seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. She immediately turned around and looked at Wei Li.

"No matter who you are, I only recognize that you are him. Even if we can't be together in this life, as long as I can look at you and feel your breath, I will be satisfied."

"Ni, Hong, Luan..." Wei Li was really defeated by this woman. He gritted his teeth and glared at her hatefully.

Hongluan became even more excited when he glared at her.

"Yes, that's it. If you call me that a hundred times a day, you will be able to feel my love for you."

"Yi, please don't let me stay here, okay? Take me away, even if it's just to be your maid. I just want to see you every day, every day!"

"Bah, Ni Hongluan, I told you you are shameless and you are still embarrassed, right?"

"You are already old enough to be his mother, and you still want to be his maid?"

"Is there a maid as old as you? Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't embarrass yourself for a day? Get out of here, get out of here, it makes me sick, hurry up!"

"Sikong Linghao, you damned bastard, if you have the guts, say it again? If I don't peel off your skin and pull out your tendons today, I won't be named Ni!"

"Your last name isn't Ni. Don't think I don't know that you made up this last name yourself, right?"

"Not only that, I also know your old name, hahaha, do you want me to say it in public?"

"Let everyone in Jiuchong Mountain know that you, Ni Hongluan, also had a very unfashionable name in your past."

"Sikong Linghao, you dare!"

"See if I dare! I'm telling you, don't threaten me. I'm not afraid of threats!"

"Why don't you look down and take a look at yourself? Who else would want you except me? You, a woman, actually despise this and that!"

"I've been chasing you for so many years, I say, enough is enough, huh? If you keep going on like this, we'll both be half buried in the earth by then!"

"Ahhh, Sikong Linghao, try saying one more word!"

…

Wei Li, who was standing aside, watched this ridiculous scene with a twitching mouth. He really couldn't stand the two people's howling like lions, so he immediately stroked his forehead.

Just as he was about to turn around, Changsun Wugou was already slowly walking towards him. Wei Li stood up and jumped onto his boat without thinking.

Wuqiu seemed to have long been accustomed to the quarrels between the two, but he could not understand why the Third Master loved Wei Li so much. Now, he finally knew, and immediately looked him up and down with an extremely ambiguous look.

Wei Li narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "If you still want your eyes, you'd better move your annoying sight away quickly."
