Chapter 96.2 – Selfish And Arrogant
What she said slightly shook Lu Qipei’s heart. Time had passed, and looking back at it now, the truth of what happened back then now seemed easy to piece together. Rong State had just been established, and there were many different and conflicting opinions domestically on how to use their military personnel.
In the end, Xie Hongyi’s death contributed to a great war. Now it seemed that it didn’t benefit Rong State that much, but it was Xie Yuan and the Rong Emperor’s choice back then.
The reason why Xie Hongyi was abandoned back then was mostly because he was young and willful. He escaped from Xie Yuan’s control and insisted on causing trouble to the group going to Liang State. He was young and frivolous, and knew that there was someone like Lu Qipei in Liang State. He always felt a sense of competitiveness against her, but he didn’t know how much trouble his face alone could cause Lu Qipei.
Lu Qipei was also an important part of Xie Yuan’s plan in Liang State, so Xie Hongyi’s actions annoyed him. And the reason Xie Yuan was so ruthless towards his own blood, in the end, it was because Xie Hongyi had half the blood of grassland barbarians.
Neither Lu Qipei nor Qi Yang had met Xie Yuan, but they have known him for many years. They had discovered that he was a selfish, ruthless, and arrogant person.
Judging from his personality, the war between the two countries back then was probably all caused by him. The Rong State that he single handedly helped establish was merely a means for him to fight the Liang State. If both sides suffered a loss in a major war, that would be the outcome that he wanted to see the most.
Unfortunately, Rong State failed to take advantage of it in the end. But Xie Yuan could not be considered the loser. After all, he made Liang State’s wise and capable Crown Prince lose half his life, and the Crown Prince’s accident also caused an inheritance crisis in Liang…
The two looked at each other, somewhat silent.
After a while, Qi Yang finally calmed down. She raised her hand and stroked her forehead, saying, “I’m too impatient. You must have your own calculations. But if you can’t handle it, you must tell me.”
Lu Qipei nodded, and her brows relaxed. She made a gentle smile and said, “Uh-huh, I know.'”
Qi Yang’s eyebrows softened when she saw her like this, and she changed the subject, “Okay, let’s continue talking about King Wu. According to Ah Pei, does King Wu’s transformation have something to do with Xie Yuan?”
Lu Qipei did not confirm anything yet. “Maybe, the recent situation is really difficult to say. Back when I pulled King Chu off his horse, it was just on a whim, and I also made an example of him for the Crown Prince. Unexpectedly, something suddenly happened to King Qi, and now there’s only King Wei and King Wu left…”
Qi Yang lowered her eyes, thinking of her previous life. “Has Xie Yuan chosen to support King Wu this time?”
In her previous life, Xie Yuan forced the Crown Prince to death, and supported the Third Prince in taking over, using him to control the situation. Although neither Qi Yang nor Lu Qipei could see the end, judging from the situation at the time and the Third Prince’s own ability, it seemed inevitable that Liang State’s regime would be overthrown.
Now that the Third Prince had died, based on their previous life experience, it seemed reasonable that Xie Yuan would switch to supporting someone else.
Qi Yang sometimes got tired thinking about it. Were her brothers really so stupid, or did the Emperor never plan to cultivate them well from the beginning? After all, other than the Crown Prince, none of the others were capable.
However, Lu Qipei didn’t respond to Qi Yang’s speculation. She always felt that it wasn’t how things were. But if you ask her for a specific reason, she couldn’t figure out her thoughts yet.
Finally, Qi Yang sighed and said, “Forget it. King Wu has just left the capital today. It will take at least a month or two until he comes back from the disaster relief. Let’s talk after we take a look at what happens then.”
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and added, “But we can first take a look at the aide under King Wu, to see if he really wants to help him or if he has other plans.”
Lu Qipei nodded this time, agreeing with Qi Yang’s words. Privately, he thought that it would be best to send someone to King Wei Mansion to check it out.
The two of them temporarily set aside these heavy topics. Qi Yang became relaxed again and stood up. She took Lu Qipei’s arm and said, “Let’s go, it’s almost dark and we haven’t eaten dinner yet. Let’s go to the waterside pavilion to eat, the air is cool there.”
Of course, Lu Qipei followed her. When they stepped out of the room, it was almost dusk.
At this time, the day’s heat had not yet dissipated, and after walking outside for a while, you could start sweating from the heat. Fortunately, it was very cool on the waterside pavilion. The night breeze was blowing away the heat, and you could hear the sound of insects and frogs.
After dinner, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang stayed in the waterside pavilion for a while to cool off, and didn’t return to their room until the moon was high in the night sky.
As the two of them laid on the bed at night, Lu Qipei slowly approached Qi Yang, thinking of how she had been given the cold shoulder these days. In the past, she never thought that the bed was too big, but now, she felt that it was too spacious.
Qi Yang closed her eyes and listened to the rustling sound on her ears, wondering what Lu Qipei was doing. She felt a bit amused, but she still closed her eyes and didn’t say anything until there was an obvious heat source approaching. Then she said, “Don’t get too close, it’s hot.”
The rustling stopped, but one arm still laid across Qi Yang’s waist.
The arm tightened slightly, taking her into the owner’s arms. Lu Qipei leaned over to Qi Yang’s ear and whispered aggrievedly, “You never felt too hot in the past. Saying that now, you just don’t like me anymore, right?”
Even though they couldn’t see each other’s face clearly in the dark, Qi Yang seemed to be able to picture Lu Qipei’s current expression. The corner of her lips slightly curved, but before she could say anything, she felt that her earlobe was damp and hot, as if someone had put it inside their mouth.
Immediately, a warm body covered her, completely pressing her underneath…

Lu Qipei (seriously): It’s a hot day, it’s good to sweat a little. Getting a cold shoulder? There’s no such thing!!
