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.
