Chapter 165： Excited! consternation! shock!

"I don't know if the relationship between them can develop as we expected." It was not until Dongfang Shuo's figure completely disappeared that Meng Fuying withdrew her eyes, looked at Xuanyuan Ye, and said in a low voice.

"Hehe," Xuanyuan Ye smiled slightly, tapped her forehead with his fingers, and said softly, "You." How can he not understand her thoughts, he must be worried about any accidents between the two of them .

Frowning slightly, he said again with a little thought, "If Dongfang Shuo can't handle it well this time, then no one will be able to help him."

Although Fu'er has arranged everything for Dongfang Shuo to meet Qing'er, if Dongfang Shuo is not proactive enough, can't Qing'er believe that he is the same him back then?

No one can help them.

"No way." Meng Fuying was stunned, "What a smart person Dongfang Shuo is, how could it be possible..."

"Dongfang Shuo is indeed very smart, but when it comes to emotional matters, especially when Qing'er is involved, he will..." Xuanyuan Ye shook his head slightly. Dongfang Shuo dealt with other matters vigorously and resolutely, but only when it came to emotional matters. But things are extremely indecisive.

"The plan I have carefully arranged cannot be wasted in vain." Meng Fuying's red lips slightly curled up, and there was also a hint of worry in her expression.

"Let's go." Seeing her appearance, Xuanyuan Ye sighed secretly, then gently embraced her, and said softly.

"Let's go?" Meng Fuying quickly raised her eyes, looking at him with some doubts.

"In order not to shatter your well-arranged plan, let's go over and have a look. If it doesn't work, we will add more fire." Xuanyuan Ye smiled half-truthfully.

"Okay, that's a good idea." Meng Fuying followed him with a chuckle, if things went smoothly as they arranged, they would hide and watch, and if something went wrong, they would add more fire.

Now, it's getting late. When Dongfang Shuo arrives at Yuhu Lake, it should be dark. By then, there shouldn't be too many people in Yuhu Lake. It will be very convenient for the two of them.

Dongfang Shuo rushed to Yuhu Lake quickly, and saw that the sky was getting dark, and the people who were playing by Yuhu Lake also dispersed one after another.

He looked around, but he didn't see any suspicious person, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder.

In the challenge letter, it is clearly written here, and the time has come, why didn’t you see anyone?

Is there any fraud?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help feeling a little more alert, but he still walked forward cautiously.

Rao passed the lake, walked slowly, and saw a figure standing in the courtyard in front of him from afar.

The distance is too far, I can't see the appearance of that person clearly, but I can vaguely distinguish a person standing there.

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, quickened his steps, and walked towards the courtyard in front.

However, she stopped a few meters away from that person. In the dim moonlight, she faintly found that the person's figure was enchanting, as if she was a girl.

Dongfang Shuo frowned slightly, woman? Would it be a woman who dared to challenge the leader of Liebao?

However, the person was facing away from him at the moment, so he couldn't see clearly. Of course, it was completely dark now, even if she turned around and faced him, he might not be able to recognize her.

"Excuse me, sir, who is it?" Dongfang Shuo stood still, cleared his throat, and asked in a deep voice. In his low voice, there was a bit of preemptive courage.

The people in the court heard the voice, turned around quickly, and looked at Dongfang Shuo.

When Dongfang Shuo was standing by the lake at this moment, she was some distance away from the courtyard, so she didn't see the appearance of the person coming, but she was slightly startled when she heard a man's voice.

Obviously, Seventh Sister-in-law invited her here, saying that she had something very important to do.

It's just that she just couldn't figure out why Seventh Sister-in-law asked her to be in this kind of place, and it was still in the middle of the night.

However, Seventh Sister-in-law has always been extremely stable in her work, and she will not mess around. Moreover, she also believes that Seventh Sister-in-law will not harm her, so even if she is puzzled, she still waits here according to what Seventh Sister-in-law said.

It's just, why is it a man who came here at this moment?

The man's voice was hoarse, and he seemed to be deliberately covering up his own voice.

Xuanyuan Qing's complexion sank slightly, she felt a little worried in her heart, her body couldn't help but froze, she looked at Dongfang Shuo from a distance, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Her voice was deliberately raised a little to cheer herself up, but there was still a slight tremor in her voice.

A pair of eyes, also looked around slightly, secretly anxious in his heart, why Seventh Sister-in-law hasn't appeared yet.

Dongfang Shuo froze slightly when he heard that voice. Although the voice trembled a little due to nervousness or fear, he still heard the unforgettable emotion. familiar.

That seemed to be Xuanyuan Qing's voice.

However, he shook his head secretly, and chuckled a little self-deprecatingly. He thought that Qing'er was going crazy, and he thought that the person who challenged Xuanyuan Ye was Qing'er.

As the princess of a country, Xuanyuan Qing has been living in the deep courtyard of the palace, and she doesn't know martial arts at all, so how could she challenge Xuanyuan Ye.

Thinking of this moment, he quickly swept away the doubts in his heart, and shouted loudly again, "You actually wrote the challenge letter and asked me to compete here. Why do you need to ask who I am?"

While speaking, he slightly raised the challenge book in his hand, regardless of whether the person could see it or not.

Xuanyuan Qing in the courtyard was even more stunned, with a bewildered expression on her face, what challenge letter? She doesn't understand at all?

That person may have found the wrong person, right? Then she raised her voice slightly again and said, "Master, you may have found the wrong person. I'm just a weak girl who doesn't know martial arts at all, so how could I challenge you."

Dongfang Shuo was stunned, and didn't speak for a while. The voice sounded more and more like Qing'er, but as a princess, it was absolutely impossible for Qing'er to appear here at this time.

Moreover, she said, she didn't write any challenge letter, or, he really found the wrong person, maybe it was just a coincidence.

"Miss, let's leave quickly. It's getting late. I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to be alone." Dongfang Shuo thought for a while and said again, but there was a bit of worry in that voice. A pair of eyes is also looking straight at the people in the courtyard.

It's a pity that it's too dark at the moment, and the moonlight is also hidden in the clouds, and she is standing under the courtyard, so she can't see anything clearly.

"Thank you, my lord." Xuanyuan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said softly, but there was still a bit of defense in the voice, after all, he was a strange man.

Seventh sister-in-law is so late, she hasn't come yet, maybe she won't come.

If sister-in-law Qi hadn't personally told her to wait here, she would definitely think that this was a conspiracy arranged by others.

However, it was obviously Seventh Sister-in-Law who personally entered the palace and told her, so it shouldn't be a lie. I really don't understand what Seventh Sister-in-law means.

However, since Seventh Sister-in-law hasn't shown up yet, and it's already so late, it's really dangerous to wait any longer, so let's go back first.

If there is anything, it is better to go directly to King Yi's mansion to ask, and Seventh Sister-in-law asked her out, but she has not shown up yet, so she is also a little worried. Could it be that something happened to Mrs. Qi?

It's just that seeing Dongfang Shuo still standing there, he didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, so Xuanyuan Qing was even more on guard in her heart, thinking, it's better to wait for him to leave before leaving.

So, Dongfang Shuo didn't leave, Xuanyuan Qing didn't move, the two of them froze in place and didn't move.

But Meng Fuying, who was hiding in the dark, had anxious eyes burning. What was this Dongfang Shuo thinking? Could it be that he couldn't hear Qing'er's voice?

What are you doing just standing there blankly?

She really wanted to rush out now, kicking Dongfang Shuo over.

However, that was just thinking about it, she is still a little far away from Dongfang Shuo and Xuanyuan Qing, because Dongfang Shuo's hearing is excellent.

If they get too close, they might be discovered by Dongfang Shuo,

"This Dongfang Shuo, why is he indecisive every time it comes to a critical moment." Meng Fuying muttered softly, looking straight ahead, her eyes were full of anxiety.

"Don't be in a hurry, just wait and see." Xuanyuan Ye approached her ear slightly, whispered, and there was a slight chuckle in his voice.

He has never seen her so anxious. In the past, no matter what happened to her, she could deal with it calmly and unhurriedly, but she was so anxious about Qinger's matter. My own affairs are even more urgent.

He knew that she really cared about Qing'er, and in her heart, she valued her friends more than herself.

This is also what he admires the most. In today's society, how many people can do this?

"Keep watching. If you keep watching, it's dawn. The two of them are standing like this, aren't they tired? My legs are going to be stiff." Meng Fuying turned her eyes slightly, and glanced at him. He said with a little dissatisfaction, but there was a little coquettish tone in his voice.

"Hehe..." Xuanyuan Ye chuckled slightly, but with a chuckle, he pulled her body into his arms again a little bit, and slightly changed the direction so that she could lean on him comfortably in his arms,

Feeling his careful and considerate movements, Meng Fuying froze for a moment, but then a happy chuckle spread from the corner of her lips, and followed his strength to lean into his arms.

Looking at the two people who were still standing still in the distance again, the anxiousness just now was missing on their faces at this moment, and there was a slightly strange chuckle instead.

There is no rush for things like this, since the person Xuanyuan Qing loves is Dongfang Shuo, and Fang Shuo is even more devoted to Qinger.

Then they will be happy together.

Xuanyuan Qing, who was standing under the courtyard, saw that Dongfang Shuo hadn't moved, but she couldn't help feeling a little scared again. What did that person mean by standing there all the time?

But now, she is even more afraid to go there. After all, there is a little distance, and it is somewhat safer. If she goes there, in case he has any bad intentions.

She was no match for him at all, and at this moment, there was no one here, let alone someone who would come to rescue her.

Now, she is even more wondering why Seventh Sister-in-law invited her here, and told her not to bring a maid?

It's good now, there is no one around her, facing such a strange man, she really doesn't know what to do.

The reason why Dongfang Shuo didn't leave was because, looking at that figure, he became more and more familiar, and the more he looked at it, he looked like Qing'er.

Although she knew that Qing'er would not appear here, that person was too similar to Qing'er in terms of voice and figure.

At this moment, he couldn't help being a little excited, but he was also a little more cautious. Could it be that someone pretended to be Qing'er to confuse him? "

But this challenge letter was directed at Xuanyuan Ye, and it was impossible for that person to think that he would fight for Xuanyuan Ye, not to mention his feelings for Qing'er, which few people knew.

Dongfang Shuo hesitated at the moment.

"Miss hasn't gone back yet, are you waiting for someone?" Dongfang Shuo thought for a moment, and asked again, but there was a little inquiry in the voice at this moment, and he wanted to hear her voice again, so as to confirm whether it was her. It wasn't Qing'er's voice.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Qing was slightly stunned, startled secretly in her heart, her red lips moved slightly, and said in a deep voice, the voice at this moment was a little more cold and hard.

Xuanyuan Qing's words paused slightly, and seeing Dongfang Shuo still standing there without moving, she said coldly again, "I have already said that I am not the person you are looking for, so please leave quickly. , find the person you are looking for, don't waste time here."

Dongfang Shuo heard her slightly angry voice, but his eyes flickered slightly. The tone was very similar to Qing'er. Could it really be Qing'er?

Although she knew in her heart that it was unlikely, and even though she was afraid, it was very likely that it was a conspiracy arranged by Xuanyuan Che.

However, at this moment, he couldn't match the excitement in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he slowly walked towards Xuanyuan Qing.

"Great, Dongfang Shuo finally passed by, he must have recognized Qing'er." Meng Fuying, who was hiding in the dark, said excitedly when she saw Dongfang Shuo finally walking towards Xuanyuan Qing.

Xuanyuan Ye shook her head secretly again, she was more excited than the other party at the moment.

And when Xuanyuan Qing saw him walking towards her, she felt even more frightened in her heart, and her body was completely frozen.

Looking straight at him with a pair of eyes, he said coldly again, "What are you doing? I've said it all. I'm not the person you're looking for. Don't come here."

Under such circumstances, if a strange man came towards her, she must be instinctively afraid.

Wanted to escape, but at the moment she was standing in the courtyard, surrounded by lake water, she had nowhere to escape, she couldn't jump into the water, right?

She can't float.

However, if that was really beneficial to her, she would rather jump into the water.

Dongfang Shuo's body froze slightly, and his footsteps also stopped slightly. Just walking a few steps forward, I can see it more clearly. In addition, at this moment, the moon is slowly emerging from the clouds, casting a faint moonlight.

Xuanyuan Qing's figure became clearer.

When Dongfang Shuo saw the familiar figure in front of him, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. It was really Qing'er, it was really Qing'er.

But at this moment, without the slightest hesitation, he took another step and walked towards Xuanyuan Qing quickly. After a few steps, he quickly walked in front of Xuanyuan Qing. At such a short distance, he could recognize it no matter how dark it was. she.

"Qing'er, it's really you." He stopped in his tracks, looked straight at her with his eyes, and exclaimed in astonishment. In his low voice, there was obvious trembling, excitement, and excitement.

He never thought that he would meet Qing'er here, and under the excitement, he also forgot to think about why Xuanyuan Qing appeared here.

Xuanyuan Qing also saw clearly the mask on his face at this moment, and she was completely startled, her eyes were wide open as hard as she could, and she was even more astonished, her red lips moved a few times, but there was not a single word. speak out.

"Qing'er." Dongfang Shuo shouted softly again, stretching his hand slightly forward, as if he wanted to embrace her, but he held back forcefully, for fear of scaring her.

Three years ago, he originally thought that Xuanyuan Qing would agree to him, but he never thought that she would refuse so strongly.

In his heart, he believed that Xuanyuan Qing hated him, so naturally he didn't dare to be too reckless at the moment.

"So it's you?" Xuanyuan Qing finally found her own voice after regaining her senses, and then said slowly, in that deep voice, there was a bit of consternation, but also a bit of anger.

He hasn't shown up for so many years. Last time, she took the initiative to greet him and stood in front of him, but he didn't recognize her. At this moment, what is this?

"Yes, it's me." Dongfang Shuo froze for a moment, the excitement in his eyes froze slightly, and the murmuring voice became a little more serious. It seemed that she still didn't want to see him now.

Xuanyuan Qing's heart suddenly throbbed in pain, as if something was torn apart abruptly, she couldn't breathe due to the pain, and she couldn't stand upright due to the pain.

Three years, three years, he never showed up again, making her wait hard, but he forgot her.

Xuanyuan Qing stared straight at him, with a slightly self-deprecating sneer in pain.

Now she finally understands why Seventh Sister-in-law asked her out, so she asked him out for her?

If Seventh Sister-in-Law didn't show up today, he might never see her again, or he might never remember her.

Funny, isn't it?

The man she loved so much, the man who once said he wanted to marry her, had to be reminded by others to remember her and come to see her?

And what does he mean by coming to see her today?

Seeing the two finally standing together, Meng Fuying, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help being excited, and looked at them nervously with her eyes, and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, finally seeing each other gone."

It's just that she and Xuanyuan Ye are a little far away from them, so they can't hear what they said.

"Qing'er, I..." Dongfang Shuo saw the coldness in Xuanyuan Qing's eyes, his body became more rigid, and his heart became more nervous, the corners of his lips pulled slightly, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

The courage he had finally mustered up, but when confronted with her indifference, instantly disintegrated, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say at all.

Xuanyuan Qing saw that he hesitated to speak, her heart sank again.

Is it so difficult to talk to her?

In the past, he looked like a ruffian, dared to say and do anything, but now, facing her, he couldn't say a complete sentence?

Don't want to say? Still can't say it?

Or, was he forced by Mrs. Seven to come see her?

She knew that Seventh Sister-in-law cared about her the most, and might do something like that for her happiness.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Qing felt a little more pain in her heart. She closed her eyes slightly, concealing all the emotions in them, and then opened them again, looking at the pain that made her wait for three years. mask for three years.

The red lips parted slightly, and he said slowly, "You don't need to say it, I understand."

Last time, he didn't recognize her when she stood in front of him, which shows how completely he forgot about her, so now it must be Seventh Sister-in-Law who returned the jade pendant to him, and he remembered what happened three years ago.

Since he has long forgotten her, it can be seen that he does not have her in his heart at all, so why should she force her, why should she make things difficult for him.

"Do you understand?" Dongfang Shuo couldn't help being stunned. Because of his astonishment, the tension in his heart also slightly disappeared, and he asked with a little doubt, what did she understand?

Understand his mind? still understand...

"Yes, I understand what you mean, so you don't have to make things difficult." She is not the kind of unreasonable woman, so she won't pester him hard, and she didn't know anything about him three years ago, or He already had a family.

Even if it wasn't there three years ago, it might have been there a long time ago in these three years.

"I'm in trouble?" Dongfang Shuo was even more confused. In the past three years, his feelings for her have never changed.

Even if she rejected him, he couldn't forget her, and he didn't even take back the jade pendant.

What trouble does he have?

He always thought that it was his marriage proposal that embarrassed her.

Does she mean to blame him?

Dongfang Shuo breathed out secretly, summoned up his courage again, and said in a low voice, "Qing'er, I know, you blame me in your heart. What happened back then was all my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that that night. But ,I…"

Or, it was because of what she did to her that night that she hated him and thought he was that kind of bad man, so she rejected him?

However, when Xuanyuan Qing heard his words, her eyes widened suddenly, and when she looked into his eyes, she was a little more astonished and a little more sad, and suddenly chuckled, "Hehehe... "

Her low laughter, in the darkness, slowly spread out, but with a somewhat sad feeling, Dongfang Shuo's words were also slightly stiffened.

"Qing'er, you?"

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help being startled when he heard her laughter. He felt more distressed and nervous. She really blamed him.

"Apologize to me now, don't you realize it's too late?" Xuanyuan Qing's heart sank little by little, and slowly sank into the valley, her body became more and more rigid, slightly agitated. trembling slightly.

My heart was getting more and more painful.

She never expected that he would apologize to her for what happened three years ago.

Apologize? It shows that he regrets what he did to her three years ago.

Regret kissing her, or regret saying that he wants to marry her.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know you would be so..." Dongfang Shuo's body froze obviously, and he explained hastily again that he didn't expect that she would hate him so much.

"I'm sorry. Hehe," Xuanyuan Qing chuckled again, but there was more pain in that voice, "You don't have to say sorry to me."

When Xuanyuan Qing looked at him again, she tried her best to hide the pain in her eyes, exhaled secretly, and said again, "Don't worry, I won't blame you, in fact, you don't have to treat me at all. Sorry, now, I don't care anymore."

Although she knew that it was really difficult for her to forget all that, but from today onwards, she swore that no matter what, she would definitely forget.

Must forget.

She told herself that she couldn't care anymore, and couldn't be stupid anymore, because then, it would only be her who suffered.

"Qing'er, I..." Dongfang Shuo's heart suddenly twitched in pain.

He could tell that she was actually blaming him and hating him.

"You don't need to say any more." Xuanyuan Qing interrupted him again, she didn't want to hear words of apology from him again, that would make her heart hurt even more.

She only hoped that he could leave her with the last trace of respect.

When Dongfang Shuo came to his mouth, he kept it in his mouth again. Since she didn't want to hear it, why should he say more.

Forget it, since she is unwilling, why should he force it?

"I, shall I take you back?" Dongfang Shuo thought for a moment, then said again, he couldn't let her here alone.

Xuanyuan Qing looked at him with a slight twinkle in his eyes, saw him approaching her again a little bit, saw the mask slightly enlarged in front of her, and suddenly felt an impulse in her heart.

She has been in love for three years, but she doesn't know what he looks like. Now she really wants to know what he looks like?

Although she told herself to forget, in her heart, she still wanted to know his real appearance, after all, he was the man she loved.

"You..." Her red lips moved slightly again, she took a deep breath, and said again, "Can you promise me a request?"

"Okay, tell me." Dongfang Shuo said again and again without even thinking about it. There was a slight strangeness in his voice. Let alone one request, he would agree without hesitation even if it was ten or a hundred. I'm afraid that even if he is sent to the mountain of knives and the sea of ​​fire at this moment, his brows will not even frown.

"Can you take off your mask?" Seeing that he agreed, Xuanyuan Qing said tentatively again.

In the low voice, there was an obvious pleading.

Although, she also knew that a person with his identity would definitely not easily agree to such a request. After all, his identity is extremely mysterious. It is said that in the whole world, few people have seen his appearance.

But she still couldn't help but speak out.

Dongfang Shuo was startled, looked into her eyes with some doubts, but nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

How could he refuse her request, let alone such a small request.

It's just that he can't figure it out. Didn't she already know who he is? Why did he have to take off his mask at this moment?

However, doubts are doubts, his hand still slowly stretched out, slowly stretched out the mask on his face, and held it tightly.

Xuanyuan Qing's eyes were fixed on her at this moment, not daring to blink for fear of missing something.

Three years, during these three years, she has been imagining what he looks like, and even secretly drew a few portraits of him.

Several times in a dream, I also dreamed of his appearance.

But, she knows, those are not real, she has never seen her real look.

Today, she can finally see the real him.

She didn't expect that he would agree so readily, and when she was excited, she felt a little more comforted.

At least, he wasn't too unfeeling, and he was able to agree to her last request.

At least, her last wish was fulfilled, which is also her biggest wish. Who would not want to know what the person she loves looks like.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Qing looked at his hand and slowly clenched the mask on his face, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerated, and she couldn't help being excited.

The body also trembled slightly, I only felt my chest rise and fall slightly, and my breathing became a little short.

Dongfang Shuo looked at her with more doubts in his eyes when he saw her. He didn't understand why she was so excited at the moment.

However, with a slight tug on the hand holding the mask, the mask was torn off by him.

Xuanyuan Qing's eyes looked at him without blinking, watching his every subtle movement.

So, as soon as the mask left his face, she saw him clearly.

Suddenly, completely shocked.

Although it was very dark at the moment, she couldn't see clearly, but he was so close to her, and under the hazy moonlight, she still recognized him...
