Guo Lingxi’s first reaction was that she had recognized the wrong person.

After all, Wei Qing had already died in battle for a few years. How could he suddenly appear in front of others? He had even become the number one strategist of the Western Jin, Zhuge Qing?

She looked at his face carefully again. To be honest, there was a difference. His face had lost a lot of weight, and his outline was even more perfect. His facial features were especially exquisite, and there was a hint of weakness.

In particular, his aura had undergone a tremendous change. If not for the fact that she had grown up with him, she would probably not dare to recognize him.

Zhuge Qing came from Northern Yan, and Wei Qing died at Broken North Pass at the border between Great Zhou and Northern Yan.

Northern Yan… Shattered North Pass…

It was Wei Qing!

Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing!

“Madam, are you eating or staying?”

The waiter from the inn asked from behind. Guo Lingxi trembled and turned around. “No, I was passing by.”

With that, she crossed the lobby and left in a hurry through the front door.

Zhuge Qing looked up at the inn with the book in his hand. The backyard of the inn was empty. The waiter had also gone to work, but there was no one.

Guo Lingxi could not remember how she got into the carriage at all. When the coachman called out to her, the carriage had already stopped at the entrance of the Eldest Prince’s residence.

Yuwen Huai’s carriage had just returned from outside, and Yuwen Jing was also in it. She lifted the curtain and recognized Guo Lingxi’s carriage at a glance.

She frowned. Clearly, she had been a little unhappy with Guo Lingxi because of what happened last time and did not want to bother with her. However, since she was already here, she could not pretend not to see her.

She jumped off the carriage and came to Guo Lingxi’s side. She knocked on the carriage and said, “Why are you here?”

Guo Lingxi looked at her and then at Yuwen Huai’s carriage. She tried her best to calm down and said, “I came to see you and bought you your favorite snacks. ”

Yuwen Jing pursed her lips and hesitated to accept Guo Lingxi’s apology gift.

“Is your father in the carriage?” Guo Lingxi asked.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Yuwen Jing asked indifferently. “Don’t tell me you want my father to come over and greet you?”

“I didn’t mean that,” Guo Lingxi said softly.

She was the concubine of the Western Jin Emperor and was a level higher than Yuwen Huai. However, Yuwen Huai was the eldest son of the emperor after all. How could he bow down to her?

The reason why Guo Lingxi asked this was because she was hesitating if she should tell Yuwen Huai about Zhuge Qing’s identity.

Would Yuwen Huai have a feud with Zhuge Qing? Would he expose Zhuge Qing’s identity?

Guo Lingxi thought about it carefully and felt that Yuwen Huai would not.

Yuwen Huai was currently in a fierce battle with Yuwen Xi and was in need of people. His greatest goal was the throne. As long as everything else could be used by him, so what if it was Wei Qing?

Moreover, Zhuge Qing was his strategist. They were in the same boat. No one could guarantee that Yuwen Huai would not hide Zhuge Qing’s identity to avoid being implicated.

“I’ll see you another day.”

Guo Lingxi left.

There was only one person who could really deal with Zhuge Qing unscrupulously—the Western Jin Emperor.

After Su Xiaoxiao sent the Old Marquis and Su Yuan off, she went to Zhuge Qing to boil medicine for him.

“Eh? You’re back?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhuge Qing and Wei Ting in the courtyard. The former was sitting in a wheelchair under the corridor reading, while the latter was trimming the peach tree—the one that Zhuge Qing asked him to trim was worth a day’s room fee.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Granduncle and Uncle came just now. They said that the Great Zhou diplomatic mission is about to leave the capital and asked if we want to go back together.”

“We’ve already obtained the Purple Lingzhi. We’ll leave after we get the Jade

Coral.” Wei Ting cut a piece of dead branch and said to Zhuge Qing, “Right, Second Brother?”

Zhuge Qing was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he quietly closed the book. “Guo Lingxi came just now. She saw me.”

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting were stunned.

After Guo Lingxi returned to the palace, the first thing she did was ask where His Majesty was.

A young eunuch said, “His Majesty is in the Imperial Study.”

Guo Lingxi walked towards the Imperial Study without a word.

The young eunuch reminded her, “Your Highness, His Majesty is reading memorials and doesn’t like to be disturbed.”

Guo Lingxi said coldly, “This is a more important matter than memorials. If you delay it, even a hundred heads won’t be enough!”

The young eunuch did not dare to make a sound.

The Great Zhou diplomatic mission was still around. The Western Jin emperor had extremely high tolerance for Guo Lingxi. If she really rushed to the Imperial Study, the Western Jin emperor would not do anything to her.

The young eunuch retreated to the side.

Guo Lingxi was not sure if Zhuge Qing had seen her just now. If he had… she had to hurry and see the Western Jin emperor before Zhuge Qing entered the palace to stir up trouble.

She quickened her pace. Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. She bumped into the Princess of Northern Yan, the current Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing was walking around the garden with the little palace maid. Seeing Guo Lingxi’s panicked expression, she couldn’t help but smile and say,

“Where is Sister Consort Ling going? You’re in a hurry, as if you’re on fire.”

The two countries did not get along, so the relationship between the princesses was naturally not much better.

The difference was that Consort Jing was focused on fighting for favor. Guo Lingxi was not interested in sleeping with an old man. She wanted to be valued by the Western Jin Emperor and did not like him coming to her bedroom.

“I’m not free today. Let’s talk another day.”

Guo Lingxi walked forward.

Consort Jing stopped her and smiled. “Eh? Don’t leave. The two of us are both princesses who married here from afar. We’re in the same boat and should sympathize with each other. Sister Consort Ling, why do you have to keep us away?”

This woman was so annoying!

Guo Lingxi glared at her and covered her stomach. “Aiya, my stomach hurts. I want to go to the toilet. I can’t take it anymore. Sister Consort Jing, let’s talk another day!”

Concubine Jing wanted to say something but hesitated. She couldn’t stop her from going to the toilet.

Looking at Guo Lingxi’s hurriedly disappearing back, Concubine Jing snorted coldly. “She’s heading towards the Imperial Study again. How many times has it been this month?”

“The second time, Your Highness,” the little palace maid replied.

Concubine Jing’s eyes were cold. “Is she finally coming to fight for favor? Just wait and see!”

Guo Lingxi walked quickly, as if there was a malicious ghost chasing after her.

When she finally saw the Imperial Study, she heaved a sigh of relief and tidied her temples. She was about to go forward and get someone to report.

Suddenly, a chubby hand reached over and pgrabbed her wrist. The other hand covered her mouth and dragged her to a nearby rockery.

Guo Lingxi looked at Su Xiaoxiao in horror. “Ugh, Ugh?”

Su Xiaoxiao took out her dagger and pressed the tip of it against her face. She threatened, “Guo Lingxi, if you dare to scream, I’ll scratch your face immediately.”

Guo Lingxi glared at her fiercely. “Ugh, ugh?How dare you?”

Su Xiaoxiao said arrogantly, “Why wouldn’t I dare? If I destroy you, at most, they’ll choose another one to marry. Do you really think Great Zhou can’t do it without you? You’re the princess who’s the result of Prime Minister Guo selling his grandchild for glory. I think there are many people like him..”
