Chapter 1: What do you like most

At dusk, when the last ray of light in the sky faded, the huge Princess Qiyang's mansion was deserted and deserted, only the main hall was brightly lit.
Princess Qi Yang sat in the main hall with a table of food that had already been chilled. The two pairs of bowls and chopsticks were as clean as new, proving that the people at the table had not touched the food.
Obviously, the person that Princess Qi Yang was waiting for had not yet returned, but her face was still unmoving, and she did not see the slightest impatience. She just looked at the empty courtyard outside the temple quietly, her eyes deeply not knowing what she was thinking.
The princess's close female officer Zhi Ting finally couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, I'm afraid the husband will not come today."
Qi Yang didn't move his eyes when he heard the words. He still sat as before, looking at the night outside the hall without saying a word.
Zhi Ting knew that everything was superfluous. Her Royal Highness didn't know when, the smile on her face became less and less, and she gradually became silent, deepened, and stubborn. Until now, she was the one who grew up with her, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
So when did such a change start? Zhi Ting couldn't help recalling it in detail, but in the end he could only think of it after his Royal Highness married her husband. Maybe a year after the wedding? Maybe half a year? Or maybe it was only a month or so after getting married. Her Royal Highness suddenly became silent. After a few years of rushing, he can no longer find the original innocent and happy appearance.
People say that after getting married, they should grow up. Perhaps her Royal Highness has also grown up. It’s just that for some reason, she always feels a little distressed when she looks at such a silent Highness...
The night was getting deeper, but Zhi Ting made a mistake, and the horseman came back tonight.
Not long after the wedding, Princess Qiyang was inexplicably bored with her husband. At first, the consort always ran to the princess mansion, hoping to get the princess to change her mind. But later, as the position of the consort in the court became more and more stable, he came less. Afterwards, the princes secretly got on the line with the third prince, and even fewer appeared in the princess mansion. Up to now, it was a month ago that he appeared in the princess mansion last time.
No one knows why Princess Qiyang suddenly called a consort tonight, but this rare thing happened, not to mention that the people in the princess mansion were surprised, and the consort Lu Qicheng was also surprised. So even if it was too late when he came out of the Three Princes' Mansion, he still rushed back.
Entering the main hall, Lu Qicheng raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the table of cold food.
Zhi Ting on the side said with a wink: "The consort is finally back. His Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time. This meal has also been cold, so let people take it down and replace it with a new one." A group of servants were greeted as they spoke. Soon the cold meals on the table were taken away.
Only one pot of wine was left, which was left behind by Princess Qi Yang pressing the pot with her hands, and neither Lu Qicheng nor Zhi Ting paid any attention.
When the outsiders in the main hall were gone, Lu Qicheng saluted Qi Yang slightly and asked: "Your Royal Highness is in good spirits tonight. I just don't know what is wrong with the sudden call of Yuchen?"
A few years' time has already consumed all of Lu Qicheng's patience. Even if Princess Qi Yang was born noble and was born beautiful, but when this beauty treats herself without a word, she can't please anyhow, and over time, the man gradually loses patience. What's more, he is now in a stable position in the center of the DPRK, even if he does not respond in a single response, he is no longer afraid of a princess in her mere mere words!
Qi Yang didn't care about Lu Qicheng's straightforwardness and bluntness. She finally raised her head to look at the person in front of her. For the first time in a few years, he looked so serious, and his eyes glided across his face inch by inch—from teenagers to youths, the once-and-virtual handsome boy, now his face has become a bit tougher and a bit sharp, but Vaguely there is still the old eighth appearance.
Looking at this familiar face, Qi Yang's deep black eyes gradually showed turbulent emotions. But before Lu Qicheng could see something in her eyes, the emotions that had been surging at the moment disappeared in an instant, so fast that people almost thought it was an illusion.
Lu Qicheng was a little uncomfortable inexplicably, and he also had some unpleasant feelings in his heart, so he said again, "Your Highness?"
Qi Yang finally retracted his gaze and lifted his chin slightly, still the arrogant appearance he used to be. She gestured to the opposite seat with her gaze, her tone was still plain, "Sit down."
Lu Qicheng was confused, but he still sat down on the chair. After waiting for a while without seeing anyone else, Princess Qi Yang always did not speak, which made him feel a little depressed for some reason, so she had to ask again: "His Royal Highness is here today, what is the matter?"
Qi Yang brought up the hip flask, poured one for himself and the person in front of him, and said casually, "I haven't seen my cohort for a long time, so I announced you to come and have a look. Is there any problem?" Only Jiuzhan pushed in front of Lu Qicheng.
Lu Qicheng was dumb, always feeling that this was strange from Princess Qi Yang's mouth. But these noble princes and princesses were originally self-respecting temperaments. She can do whatever she wants, and how can others be beaked? Lu Qicheng said that her position is stable and she is not afraid of her, but there is no need to offend the other party, so he didn't say anything, and took a sip of the wine in cooperation.
Qi Yang glanced at the half-empty wine cup, then suddenly stood up and wandered in front of Lu Qicheng.
Just when Lu Qicheng's face was inexplicable, a catkin touched his cheek. Slender and white fingers ran across his face lightly, from his handsome eyebrows to his brave nose, all the way down, the movements are gentle and affectionate as if affectionate.
It wasn't until the fingertips touched the slightly green stubble on his lips that he curled up quickly as if he had been pierced. But after a while, that hand couldn't help but caressed gently between his eyebrows...
Lu Qicheng's heartbeat speeded up uncontrollably. He raised his head and looked at Qi Yang. It is undeniable that the beauty of the princess is enough to make any man be moved by it. Lu Qicheng was naturally moved to this woman at the beginning, but it was a pity that the other party was too cold and allowed him to do all kinds of tricks, Qi Yang also seemed to be wrapped in ice, showing his kindness without saying anything.
Could it be that today, the princess finally realized his goodness and planned to take the initiative to break the ice?
Lu Qicheng was a little excited and contented, as his heartbeat was getting faster, he reached out to grab Qi Yang's hand. It turned out to be empty, and he was inexplicably empty in his heart. He looked at Qi Yang blankly and said, "Your Highness?"
Qi Yang looked at him, but suddenly asked: "Do you know what this palace likes you most?"
When Lu Qicheng heard the word "like", his heartbeat rose again. He was clearly no longer a young and young hairy boy, and he had tasted a woman elsewhere, but at this moment he was still uncontrollably excited. He raised his hand and pressed his heart beating wildly, always feeling that he didn't seem to like Princess Qi Yang that much, but his heartbeat speeded up because of a word from the other party.
With this inexplicable emotion, Lu Qicheng unconsciously followed Qi Yang's words and asked, "I don't know, I don't know what your Highness likes the most?"
Qi Yang smiled, her gaze still stayed on Lu Qicheng's handsome face, and she replied, "Naturally, I like your face the most." As she said, her gaze suddenly lost its temperature, became cold and sharp: "I like it. This face was exactly the same as her."
When he said this, Lu Qicheng's eyes suddenly widened. Once the secret that had been hidden for many years was revealed, it was revealed by the precious princess herself. His heart couldn't stop thumping, and his heart ached.
There were thousands of clues in his mind, the first thing Lu Qicheng thought of was killing people. But now it was in the princess mansion, and when he was not prepared, he couldn't kill her, and it was even more impossible to pick himself clean after killing. So he had to press down on the idea of ​​killing people for a while, he decided to pretend to be stupid, and reluctantly pulled out a smile and said: "What does the princess mean? Who am I..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qicheng spouted a mouthful of blood, and the red blood dripped on the corner of Qiyang's skirt, as if he was stained with red plums.
"Princess, you..." Lu Qicheng looked at Qi Yang incredulously, and he pressed his heart beating wildly with one hand. Only then did he realize that the heart that had been beating wildly before was not because of heartbeat or fright, but that he had already been attacked!
The poisoned wine with ingredients was prepared for him from the beginning, and she didn't need his explanation.
Qi Yang just looked at him coldly, watched him vomit blood, watched him fall to the ground, watched his eyes gradually fade away...
Until his death, Lu Qicheng couldn't ask why. He didn't understand why Princess Qi Yang would attack him until he died. Is it revenge for that person? But why would Princess Qi Yang avenge her?
Naturally, Qi Yang was not interested in helping a dead person. Looking at Lu Qicheng's declining body, the emotions in her eyes ranged from the joy of revenge to the grief of nothing, to the loss of nowhere, it seemed inexplicably pitiful.
I don't know how long time has passed, Zhi Ting finally returned with a hot meal. As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the horror lying on the ground and staring. She was shocked and covered her mouth, looking at the blood on the corner of her Royal Highness's skirt, she trembled and called out: "Your Highness..."
Qi Yang flicked his sleeves and turned and left: "Clean up."
