1671 Guess, pretend you know nothing

Let’s not talk about the matter of Lan Jingyang and Feng Li Qingge for now. The Ninth Prince came out of the study, changed his clothes, and walked to the Feng Mansion in the night.

The Eighteen Riders were very alert, but still couldn't stop Lan Jiuqing. Relying on his outstanding cultivation and familiarity with the Feng Mansion, Lan Jiuqing easily avoided the Eighteen Riders and came to Feng Qingchen's room.

Feng Qingchen was worried about Feng Jin's safety. Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw the scene of little Feng Jin being abused and crying. She felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart and she couldn't sleep well. When she heard a sound outside the house, she realized someone had come in.

Feng Qingchen did not call for help, but took out the pistol from under the pillow, got out of bed, and when the other party came forward, he put the gun to his forehead and said, "Raise your hands, don't move."

Lan Jiuqing did as he was told, raised his hands and stood there looking at Feng Qingchen.

The room was dark, and the moonlight outside was so dim that it couldn't shine in. Feng Qingchen didn't know who the visitor was. Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, he asked, "Who are you?"

Lan Jiuqing didn't answer, Feng Qingchen added: "Hurry up and tell me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Can't you recognize it now?

Lan Jiuqing's eyes flashed with hurt, and he sighed softly: "It's me."

This sound?

Feng Qingchen felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden. Lan Jiuqing felt even more upset when he saw this: "Qingchen, I am Jiuqing."

"Jiuqing, why is it you?" Feng Qingchen slapped her forehead in annoyance. She actually forgot Lan Jiuqing's voice. She was indeed too busy recently.

"Why can't it be me?" Lan Jiuqing felt a little uncomfortable and turned around and sat down on the chair.

"Miss..." The guards and the eighteen riders outside the house heard the voice and spoke immediately. Feng Qingchen hurriedly said, "Nothing, my friends are here, you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes." The eighteen riders were horrified that someone had actually broken into Miss Feng's room without anyone noticing. They were really derelict in their duty, but they couldn't break in to see what was going on, so they could only feel depressed.

After sending the guards away, Feng Qingchen put away his gun, groped his way back to the bed, put on a coat, and then groped his way to the table in the dark to light the candle.

The dim yellow light elongated the figures of the two people, one standing and the other sitting, and their shadows just happened to overlap. Lan Jiuqing turned his head and saw this scene, and his eyes warmed slightly.

Feng Qingchen sat down opposite Lan Jiuqing and asked, "Did you receive my message?" It's only been a day, it shouldn't be the case, could it be that Lan Jiuqing is in the city?

"Message? Not received." Lan Jiuqing came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Then why did you come to me?" So it wasn't about Feng Jin? Could it be that Lan Jiuqing didn't know about this?

"Liancheng." Lan Jiuqing knew that this matter could not be delayed. If it was not resolved as soon as possible, he and Feng Qingchen might not even be able to be friends.

So I knew.

Feng Qingchen sneered and said sarcastically: "So, you know what Liancheng did?"

"I only found out afterwards." Lan Jiuqing turned his face away in embarrassment.

This matter was indeed his fault. He did not expect Lian Cheng to be so bold. He ignored his warnings and attacked Feng Qingchen again and again. This time he went too far and actually cooperated with the emperor.

"Really?" Feng Qingchen's voice became even colder: "So, you also knew about the time when Lian Cheng assassinated me on the street?"

"Yes." He knew, but did nothing.

"So, what is your relationship with Liancheng?" Feng Qingchen looked at Lan Jiuqing, not allowing him to escape. Lan Jiuqing looked back at Feng Qingchen steadily, and after a long while he said, "I was originally the young master of Liancheng, but not now."

"So, everything Liancheng is doing now has nothing to do with you. It's all Lan Jingyang's order?" If that's the case, she would feel better. Otherwise...

She really felt that she had no judgment of people.

Lan Jiuqing nodded heavily and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Qingchen stopped caring about it, and everything became easier.

Unfortunately, Lan Jiuqing was too happy too early. Feng Qingchen continued to ask: "So, do you have any confidants in Liancheng?"

"Yes." Given his personality, it was impossible for him to trust others easily. He certainly had his own people in there, but they just didn't move.

"I understand." Feng Qingchen nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lan Jiuqing has connections in Liancheng, but he will not use those in Liancheng for his own sake.

It didn't seem like a big deal. She and Lan Jiuqing had no relatives, so there was no need for Lan Jiuqing to use his confidants for her. It was just... she couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart, and Feng Qingchen didn't understand what was wrong with her.

Forced to smile, Feng Qingchen suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of Feng Jin? I don't need you to do anything, you just need to tell me where the person is."

Lan Jiuqing shook his head: "I don't know. This time it wasn't the people from Liancheng who did it, and they didn't return it to Liancheng after they succeeded.

The ones who did it were the retired emperor's men. Feng Qingchen knew this and understood that Lan Jiuqing was not lying. With a missing clue, Feng Qingchen became even more worried.

"Don't worry, Feng Jin will be fine in their hands." Lan Jiuqing comforted coldly. Feng Qingchen forced a smile: "I know, it's just that Feng Jin is sick, I'm worried that his body can't take it. What's going on with Liancheng? Why did he fall to Lan Jingyang? What can I do?"

Feng Qingchen knew the relationship between Liancheng and the previous dynasty, and Lan Jiuqing's identity was obvious to her, but such things could not be discussed openly, so it was enough for everyone to know it.

"No need. Liancheng is nothing but a waste to me. It would be a good thing to use Liancheng to get rid of those who are disloyal around me." When he said this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lan Jiuqing's eyes. Feng Qingchen knew that he had his own plans and did not ask any more questions, but he was worried about Lan Jiuqing in his heart.

Jiuqing cooperates with Jiuhuangshu. Jiuhuangshu must know Lan Jiuqing's identity, but still chooses to cooperate with Jiuqing. Does this mean that Jiuhuangshu does not intend to let Lan Jiuqing live too long?

Thinking of this possibility, Feng Qingchen felt extremely uncomfortable, and any dissatisfaction she had towards Lan Jiuqing disappeared.

"Jiuqing, you must take care of yourself. Always put your own safety first. Don't give up easily no matter what. Only by staying alive can everything be possible."

Feng Qingchen's words were filled with worry and uneasiness, but Lan Jiuqing thought she was worried about Liancheng, so he added, "I won't confront Liancheng head-on."

Lian Cheng will be played by Lan Jingyang sooner or later, so why should he rush to take action?

Feng Qingchen smiled and said nothing more. One was her lover, the other was her friend. She had no choice but to act like an ostrich and pretend she knew nothing.

Lan Jiuqing saw that Feng Qingchen was in a low mood and thought she was just worried about Feng Jin. Lan Jiuqing comforted her and promised that he would help find Feng Jin's whereabouts and would never let Feng Jin get into trouble.

Feng Qingchen wanted to refuse, but she didn't say it. She just said, "Just do your best. Don't put yourself in danger because of my affairs."

"Yeah." Lan Jiuqing responded, and then fell silent...

The two of them sat quietly, each staring blankly at what was in front of them. No one took the initiative to speak. The room was quiet and the atmosphere was a little weird. Invisibly, there seemed to be an extra layer of estrangement between the two of them...
