Qingfeng was feeling depressed and blurted out, "In my opinion, she's just playing hard to get. Perhaps your behavior over the past two years has aroused Murong Qingyu's suspicion. To get close to you, they're trying every possible means to push Murong Xiao to your side. Once they gain your trust, they'll achieve their ulterior motives."
I think they probably want to marry Murong Xiao to you because you're already old and still haven't been crowned a Crown Princess. Then they'll have Murong Xiao join forces with them, defeat those princes first, put you on the throne, and then they'll focus their attention on you."
Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, using his imagination to the fullest, and finally felt that what he said was more and more possible. Indignantly, he said, "My Lord, this is what I think is true! Those who offer kindness without any reason are either traitors or thieves. My Lord, please do not be fooled by Murong Qingyu and Murong Xiao."
After saying that, he moved closer to Qian Yeming and said, "Master, things will work out when the time comes. You should go and rest now! Even if you can't sleep, it's always good to close your eyes and rest!"
Glancing at Qingfeng, he had to admit that if he hadn't gone back to see Murong Xiao again, what he had just said would have been very possible. Because that was what he had thought at the beginning.
But the problem was that he went back alone again.
Murong Xiao told him that she was not Murong Qingyu's daughter, but a killer he hired, and she wanted to kill all the members of the Murong family without a burial place.
When he said this, he clearly saw the deep hatred in her eyes.
Maybe she can act, maybe she can write scripts, but the hatred that can't be erased from her eyes and the love that she tries to hide but can't hide every time she sees him are so real.
Should he believe her?
She belongs to Murong Qingyu. Even if she is not his daughter, she is his adopted daughter.
In order to obtain the throne, Murong Qingyu was willing to plan and strategize for more than 20 years and coax his mother around. Even after she became the queen, she would still fight for him and his son.
Then it is very likely that he would send a woman to be by his side, and let this woman do everything she can to win his trust, and finally abandon him and betray him when he is completely unable to leave her.
But how did she know that he would come to the Marshal's Mansion tonight and be so fully prepared?
Today's action was secretive. He saw that Murong Qingyu and Murong Qingyun had come to attend the palace banquet, so he temporarily used the excuse of feeling unwell to visit the Marshal's Mansion at night.
Because the decision was sudden, he didn't even notify Jifeng, and he came directly with Qingfeng and another guard who was slightly better in skills.
He had once sent his Dark Night men to sneak into the Marshal's Mansion, but that seemingly easy-to-break-in mansion turned out to be a den of poisons. Master Zhiyuan was knowledgeable about poisons, so when he entered the Marshal's Mansion today, he brought the antidote that Master Zhiyuan had given him.
In case the antidote didn't work, he stayed outside for a while. Only after making sure he was fine did he sneak into the study with two subordinates.
And Murong Xiao, from the first time he saw her to the moment she entered his study to save him from danger, how could she have changed into her nightgown so quickly without thorough preparation? And even brought his own antidote and the silver needles for acupuncture?
He thought about this problem all night, but still hasn't figured it out.
