Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

by La Mi Tu

  Wanyan Lie had long forgotten how much he hated Feng Cang and also forgotten how he even more hated Feng Xie who got Wanyan Ming Yue’s heart. All these years, every time when he thought about how Wanyan Ming Yue became someone else’s bride, his heart would get very cold. That was why, he used all means to get revenge through Feng Cang.

  Now, he threw away all those things he did to Feng Cang in the back of his brain. What he saw was now a pair of bitter lovers like him in the past…

  More than once, Wanyan Lie hated from the bottom of his heart that in his body flow he same blood as Wanyan Ming Yue. If they weren’t siblings, he would certainly fight over her with Feng Xie and would certainly get Wanyan Ming Yue’s heart. He would become a pair of ideal lovers with her. However, he couldn’t change his identity and also couldn’t change his fate. This was the thing he hated the most!

  Now, seeing Feng Cang repeat his road and was like the him of the past, Wanyan Lie had the feeling that their hearts beat as one.

  However, Feng Cang is happier than him because at the same time Feng Cang likes Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qi Qi also likes him. They’re each other’s sunshine. However, they also couldn’t change the fact that they have the same blood. No matter how much they struggle, they couldn’t change their identity as siblings.

  Why are tragedies always repeated? A trace of compassion emerged in Wanyan Lie’s heart. It was sympathy towards Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, this pair of unfortunate lovers. At the same time, there was also a trace of support for them.

  After all, in the past Feng Cang said the vow, “Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks one ladle worth of water from it.” And the him of that year, wasn’t he the same as today’s Feng Cang?!

  Ruo river is three thousand li, one only drinks one ladle worth of water from it: there are so many potential lovers to choose from, but you only pick one from among those potential lovers.

  Li: Chinese mile: 500 meters

  Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi didn’t know Wanyan Lie’s thoughts. If they knew, they would’ve been very taken aback! It was said, accompanying one’s sovereign is the same as accompanying a tiger. An emperor’s heart is the most difficult to guess. It had been like this since ancient time. Wanyan Lie was also like that.

  “Qi Qi, come, let uncle take a look!” Wanyan Lie lovingly beckoned Murong Qi Qi. When she approached, Wanyan Lie nodded while looking, “Looks like your mother. Really looks like your mother!”

  Murong Qi Qi didn’t know why, but she didn’t feel disgust from Wanyan Lie’s eyes. Instead, she could sense that the care and concern in this person’s eyes were real. Really strange…Questions rose in Murong Qi Qi’s heart. If the matter of that year was done by Wanyan Lie, if everything that happened to Feng Cang was ‘thanks’ to Wanyan Lie, why when facing her, would he be so indulgent?

  How would Murong Qi Qi know that after Wanyan Lie saw her and Feng Cang’s affection, Wanyan Lie’s got the idea to support them and also came up with a plan.

  “Emperor, come inside. It’s cold outside!”

  “Good! Qi Qi, let’s go. Let’s go inside and don’t get a cold! Our Bei Zhou’s weather is not comparable to that of Xi Qi’s!”

  Lin Ke Xin was somewhat jealous at Wanyan Lie’s concern for Murong Qi Qi. The emperor has many children, but she never saw him be so amiable before and use such a gentle voice towards anyone. Instead, he was like this when facing Murong Qi Qi.

  Feng clan already got too much imperial grace. Feng Cang held the military power and is someone who could produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another in Bei Zhou. Now, there’s one more Murong Qi Qi. Then, wouldn’t Feng clan’s power reach the skies?

  After entering the hall, Murong Qi Qi sat next to Feng Cang. Although, they only didn’t see each other for a moment, but to both, it felt like a long time had passed. Everyone saw the exchange of amorous glances between these siblings very clearly and they also understood clearly. In their hearts, they were puzzled if these siblings truly couldn’t go back to proper human relationship.

  “Nan Lin wang1 and little cousin sister’s relationship is so great! Making people envious!” Wanyan Yi faintly said that. He wasn’t a fool. How could the feelings Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi’s eyes conveyed be that of siblings? It was obviously that of lovers!

  Although Wanyan Yi wanted to marry Murong Qi Qi, because getting Murong Qi Qi meant getting the world. However, he was more willing to defeat Feng Cang. After all, a wang of a different surname holding military power is not a good thing for the whole court.

  Even if in the future, he became the emperor, Murong Qi Qi became the empress and Feng Cang became his brother-in-law, but in history there were more than enough cases where the brother-in-law usurped the throne! He wouldn’t let his guard down just because he got the beauty and in the end, lose the country.

  What if by chance, Murong Qi Qi was a beautiful bait Feng Cang put out and the motive of these siblings was to get the country? Then, wouldn’t he lose very badly?

  Now, in Wanyan Yi’s point of view, Murong Qi Qi was a drug which exuded temptation. If getting addicted and fell into some people’s trap, in the end, he would lose more. However, if he could use this drug to deal with Feng Cang and at the same time win the power in one swoop, then it would be half the work, but twice the effect!

  Wanyan Yi forgot that Feng Cang’s power was given by Wanyan Lie. He also has forgotten that Murong Qi Qi’s identity was raised by Wanyan Lie. His whole mind was thinking about how to deal with Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi; how would he know that the boss above him would or wouldn’t let such a thing happen?

  “Flesh and blood were separated for so many years. Now, they identified each other, naturally they would be close. If siblings weren’t close to each other, then wouldn’t it be unreasonable?”

  The one who spoke for Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi was actually Wanyan Lie. These let the two involved parties surprised and also let the others see Wanyan Lie’s love for them.

  In just a moment, Wanyan Hong decided. He must get Murong Qi Qi. This person is a beauty; he likes that. The meaning behind this person; he likes that even more.

  Yesterday, when Chun Xing came to East palace to find him, she said those words from the empress.

  “Your emperor father had always wished to get a daughter like princess Ming Yue. Moreover, he said if the daughter is like Ming Yue, he would certainly give the world to her. Now, the emergence of Feng Qi Qi let your emperor father’s wish be fulfilled. No matter what, you need to get Murong Qi Qi. Even if you couldn’t get her heart, you need to get her body. By then, your emperor father would give this world as the dowry of princess Zhen Guo to you!”

  Although it was a fact that empress Li Bing was not favored, but Wanyan Hong knew, as the woman who accompanied emperor father the longest, empress mother was able to hold on the phoenix seal and also her position was never shaken, she must have her own ability.

  Just the thought of that red gecko cinnabar mark on Murong Qi Qi’s snow-white arm, Wanyan Hong was so excited. He had seen many women, but one with such white and soft skin, Murong Qi Qi was the first one.

  Just now, when Wanyan Yi ‘provoked’ that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi’s relationship was like that of lovers and not of siblings, Wanyan Hong sensed the anger from emperor father. It could be seen that the place Feng siblings had in emperor’s heart was very heavy. He had to admit, sometimes, Feng Cang’s status was even above his.

  If he could marry Murong Qi Qi, that means that the throne is in his hand and the beauty in his arms. Besides, he would have a brother-in-law with military power. Although this brother-in-law wouldn’t be willing to be manipulated, but he could use Murong Qi Qi to restrict Feng Cang!

  Seeing Feng Cang’s expression, he certainly loves Murong Qi Qi to the bottom of his heart.

  If he controlled Murong Qi Qi, does he even need to be afraid to not be in control of Feng Cang? Even if by then, Feng Cang had the mind to usurp the throne, he could throw Murong Qi Qi ou
t. By then, Feng Cang would lose his reputation and would lose the hearts of the commoners. Even if he (FC) had the ability, he wouldn’t be able to get out of his (WH) palms!

  However, in order to get Murong Qi Qi, the first one he needed to get rid of is the one who had the position of crown princess, Yu Shi Shi…He need to let her get off that position. Otherwise, if he let Murong Qi Qi get the position of cefei2, emperor father wouldn’t be satisfied. Instead of waiting for emperor father to act, he may as well act first. Maybe by then, he could even get a good impression in front of Wanyan Lie.

  Wanyan Hong and Wanyan Yi, this pair of imperial brother’s thought were contrary to each other. Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu, these two women’s thought were amazingly very similar.

  From Murong Qi Qi, Yu Shi Shi saw an unprecedented crisis. She saw the desire from Wanyan Hong’s eyes clearly. This man is someone ruthless and unscrupulous. If his heart was bent on marrying Murong Qi Qi and disposing herself, what should she do? On whom can she still depend on now?

  Because Murong Qi Qi threatened her position, Yu Shi Shi considered her, her number one enemy. And Wanyan Bao Zhu, at this moment just hate everything about Murong Qi Qi. In the past, she (MQQ) was Murong household’s legitimate daughter and was above her (WBZ). Now, she’s Bei Zhou’s princess Zhen Guo and was even more above her. How could Wanyan Bao Zhu accept this?

  Why was Murong Qi Qi’s life better than hers? Why was it that Murong Qi Qi was always more advantageous than her? She refused to accept that!

  Now, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Longze Jing Tian’s wedding didn’t even have the first stroke of the character eight, but it was already certain that Murong Qi Qi’s future would be Bei Zhou’s empress. This was obviously above her again. How could Wanyan Bao Zhu’s competitive heart accept this?! Time after time, she was oppressed and stepped on by Murong Qi Qi. When would such days end?

  Didn’t even have the first stroke of the character eight: things have not begun to take a shape

  She wasn’t resigned, resigned that everything about Murong Qi Qi was stronger than her!

  The atmosphere was very strange. Murong Qi Qi took everything from the others into her eyes. No matter if it was envy, jealousy, hate, or unwilling to be reconciled and calculations; all of these made her feel that it was funny. Originally, she didn’t want to participate in anything. However, she had been put in this place by Wanyan Lie. She couldn’t not face these. Thinking of it, she’s the most innocent one.

  Since this identity brought her a lot of trouble; if she didn’t use her identity to show off once, wouldn’t she put those deep meaning in these people’s eyes to shame?

  “Uncle, eunuch Jing De said Long Autumn palace is the most beautiful place of the harem, is that right?”

  The emotions in the people’s eyes, directly teased out Murong Qi Qi’s rebellious heart. The more people are jealous of her getting the imperial love, then should would let this love be worthy of its name!

  “That’s right! What, do you want to go take a look?” From the tone of Murong Qi Qi, she seemed to be interested in Long Autumn palace. Wanyan Lie was very happy.

  Before the battle at Yandang mountain, Wanyan Lie already emptied Long Autumn palace. Even though, he knew that Long Autumn palace was the residence of the empress since ancient times, but he still refused to bestow it to Li Bing. In Wanyan Lie’s heart only Wanyan Ming Yue was worthy of living in Long Autumn palace. Until later, when he placed Wanyan Ming Yue in the underground of Long Autumn palace, only then did he get those women.

  Now, Wanyan Ming Yue’s daughter Murong Qi Qi returned. Of course, he should ‘return it back to its rightful owner’ and let Murong Qi Qi live there. In the past, how much did he wish for her mother to live there. Although, this wish couldn’t be fulfilled, but that didn’t mean he gave up.

  Wanyan Ming Yue had been in a deep sleep for so long and refused to wake up to look at him. If she knew that her daughter was found, if he let her hear stories about Murong Qi Qi and hear Murong Qi Qi’s voice, would she forgive the things he had done and would wake up?

  “Alright! Anyway, sitting is also quite boring!” While Murong Qi Qi spoke, she stood up. Feng Cang put the cloak on for her. He also considerately prepared a heater and gave it to Murong Qi Qi. Until after, she got everything done, was he assured.

  This intimate move of these siblings changed taste in everyone’s eyes. Only Wanyan Lie was delighted. It seemed that he saw his younger self and the young gorgeous Wanyan Ming Yue.

  “You all don’t have to go! Zhen 3 will accompany Qi Qi there! Cang er, you also take a rest. With zhen here, no one would bully Qi Qi!” When Feng Cang put on the fox fur coat and was about to go together, Wanyan Lie said that. He excluded everyone other than Murong Qi Qi.

  Wanyan Lie wanted to be alone with Murong Qi Qi? This let Feng Cang’s heart be alarmed. After all, Wanyan Lie did many black-hearted things towards Feng family. If he wanted to do something against Murong Qi Qi, then what should he do?!

  “Big Brother, wait here for me!” Murong Qi Qi smiled sweetly at Feng Cang and gave him reassurance. If Wanyan Lie wanted to do something to her, she would just take his head and regard it as revenge for Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Then, she could also leave here sooner with Feng Cang.

  Following Wanyan Lie, a bunch of people mightily went to Long Autumn palace. When they arrived at Long Autumn palace, Wanyan Lie let the servants stop and only went inside with Murong Qi Qi.

  Have to say, this Long Autumn palace was the most the most extravagant with gold and jade glorious splendor, Murong Qi Qi had ever seen. It was way more splendid than the hall Wanyan Lie used for court meetings. What let Murong Qi Qi be surprised was that this Long Autumn palace was filled with plum blossom.

  “My mother also liked plum blossoms…,” Murong Qi Qi whispered as she gently stroked the bright red flowers.

  Murong Qi Qi’s words let Wanyan Lie get lost in wild and fanciful thoughts. The way he looked at Murong Qi Qi also became gentler. It seemed that many years ago, Ming Yue had also dressed like this and stood in the plum blossom garden very beautifully. Until now, he was unable to forget it.

  “That’s right, ah! Ming Yue likes plum blossoms the most…”

  While saying this, Wanyan Lie’s voice had a trace of loneliness in it, surprising Murong Qi Qi.

  Why, whenever he mentioned Wanyan Ming Yue, Wanyan Lie’s tone sounded so sad? She’d heard that when Wanyan Ming Yue was alive, this big brother loved her very much and wished to get the stars from the sky for her. If this love was real, then why would Wanyan Lie plan that matter of Yandang mountain? Why did he plot against the husband and wife, Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue? And why did he put all hatred on Feng Cang?

  This man was full of complex contradictions. In the end, what kind of secrets were there?

  “What’s the matter?” Seeing Murong Qi Qi staring at him, Wanyan Lie smiled gently. Wanyan Ming Yue was the number one beauty of the world; as her big brother, when Wanyan Lie was young, he was also a handsome man. Even now, though he had become old, but his bearing was still out of the ordinary and didn’t show an old state.

  “Uncle, I like this Long Autumn palace very much. In the future, I will come here often.”

  Murong Qi Qi’s words made Wanyan Lie’s mood very good. He wanted to tell his good news to Ming Yue immediately; to let her know that he’d found her daughter, that he’d found her baby!

  Murong Qi Qi stayed for a long time in Long Autumn palace. Wanyan Lie accompanied by her side. He introduced everything of Long Autumn palace to her. When they arrived at the place where Yue Lan Zhi had previously lived, Murong Qi Qi discovered that this place had been sealed off.

  “You said it was bad luck, so zhen1 let p
eople seal it. Anyway, this place is big. You could choose any place you like and live there.”

  “Mm!” Murong Qi Qi nodded. She turned and looked at the yellow seal on the red door. Then, she left Long Autumn palace with Wanyan Lie.

  Although, she’d entered the palace this time because of Lin Ke Xin’s invitation, but in the end, Murong Qi Qi didn’t talk much with Lin Ke Xin. After she’d left Long autumn palace, she had been sent out of the palace by Wanyan Lie. Feng Cang heard that Murong Qi Qi had returned to the wangfu,2 so he didn’t say anything further and also left.

  And Wanyan Lie’s actions made Lin Ke Xin’s heart feel even more uneasy.

  What did the emperor mean? She (MQQ) was obviously someone she’d invited, but she’d only stayed for a short time in her Jingxin hall. She (LKX) didn’t even had time to let Wanyan Yi and Murong Qi Qi cultivate feelings before she (MQQ) was taken away by Wanyan Lie. Later, he’d even personally let Jing De send Murong Qi Qi back to the wangfu.

  Could it be that her Jingxin hall was a place with severe floods and fierce beasts? Was he worried that she would swallow Murong Qi Qi? Or was it that the emperor had other thoughts?

  Severe floods and fierce beasts: extremely dangerous or threatening

  Lin Ke Xin wondered about the emperor’s thoughts for a long time. In the end, she concluded that in Wanyan Lie’s heart, the position of crown prince was still unshakeable. Wanyan Lie had seen through her plan. Although he didn’t say anything, but he directly blocked the interaction between Wanyan Yi and Murong Qi Qi. Was this not obviously showing that he was helping Wanyan Hong?

  It seemed that she needed to use some unscrupulous means! Instantly, Lin Ke Xin thought of Wanyan Kang.

  Wanyan Kang had seemed very close with Murong Qi Qi. Since the emperor wanted to obstruct, then don’t blame her for using another way to achieve her purpose! This throne is her Yi er’s!3 Only her Wanyan Yi was the most suitable candidate for that position!
