wei Qing?
How was that possible?
The person in the portrait was clearly Zhuge Qing.
Although Zhuge Qing was wearing a mask today, everyone had seen his true appearance before. He was not exactly identical to the one in the portrait, but he was at least 70 to 80% similar.
However, their auras were completely different, and Zhuge Qing was thinner.
Yuwen Lin said, “Feng Xiaoran, you’re mistaken. The person in the portrait is clearly Mr. Zhuge.”
Yuwen Huai frowned and glanced at Yuwen Xi, clearly suspecting that Yuwen Xi was up to something again.
Yuwen Xi was really wronged. She had long fallen out with Feng Xiaoran. She did not even know why Feng Xiaoran was here.
However, compared to the others who were at a loss, she had a clue.
Other than Wei Ting, the entire Wei family had died in battle. However, the eldest son, Wei Chen, survived and became a death warrior. Could the second son, Wei Qing, also survive?
Moreover, Zhuge Qing and Wei Qing had the word “Qing” in their names.
If Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing, it would make sense for Qin Su to treat him. It would also be more reasonable for Wei Ting to abandon the official duties of the Imperial Court and accompany Qin Su to Western Jin.
The princess hugged Wuhu in her arms and tugged at Su Xiaoxiao’s sleeve. “Qin
Su, is what Feng Xiaoran said true? Is the person in the portrait really Wei
Qing? But why does Wei Qing look identical to Mr. Zhuge?”
Su Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea without batting an eyelid. “Second Brother has passed away. I’ve never seen him.”
The Old Marquis and Su Yuan did not look too good.
The two of them had seen Wei Qing before and knew that Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing. What puzzled them was where this guy called Feng Xiaoran had obtained Wei Qing’s portrait.
The Western Jin Emperor said nothing and looked at Feng Xiaoran with a dark gaze.
Feng Xiaoran felt the tangible might of the emperor, but he had come prepared today. He had confidence. The person who should feel guilty was Zhuge Qing.
He bowed to the Western Jin Emperor and cupped his hands at Yuwen Lin, who had shouted at him just now. “Your Majesty, Third Highness, everything I said is true. Zhuge Qing is Wei Qing. He didn’t die in battle back then. His death was just a scheme! It was to change his appearance and secretly infiltrate the Western Jin to become a spy!”
Yuwen Lin was shocked. “What?”
Gasps sounded in the hall.
Zhuge Qing was the number one strategist in the Western Jin. If he was a spy, this was too terrifying.
Yuwen Huai said sternly, “Feng Xiaoran, don’t spout nonsense!”
Feng Xiaoran pointed at Zhuge Qing and said to Yuwen Huai, “Your Highness, if he’s not Wei Qing, why would he wear a mask in front of the Great Zhou ambassadors? He didn’t wear it in the past!”
“That’s… that’s because…” Yuwen Huai suddenly realized that he had never asked Zhuge Qing why he suddenly put on a mask. The others were the same. Although they were curious, they did not suspect too much.
They had almost blind trust and admiration for Zhuge Qing.
Zhuge Qing said calmly, “My face is a little injured. I don’t want to show it to others. ”
Feng Xiaoran sneered. “Is that so? Then do you dare to take off your mask and let everyone examine your injuries in public? I guess you don’t dare. After all, there are many old acquaintances of yours here. If they recognize you, how will you continue to pretend?”
Wei Ting said seriously, “I can testify that Zhuge Qing is not my second brother.”
Feng Xiaoran smiled and looked at him. “Of course you have to hide it for him.
Not only you, but Old Marquis Su, Lord Su, the daughter of the Qin family…
You’re all in cahoots!”
As he spoke, his gaze landed on a seat in the Great Zhou diplomatic mission.
“Second Young Master Guo, you’re from the Guo family and are cousins with Wei Qing. You should have seen Wei Qing before. Why don’t I invite you to acknowledge him?”
The Second Young Master Guo he mentioned was called Guo Ming. He was Guo Lingxi’s brother born from a concubine. Guo Lingxi did not have a deep relationship with this brother. If Guo Huan had not passed away, he would not have had the chance to be an envoy.
However, Feng Xiaoran was right about one thing. He did know Wei Qing.
He raised his flushed face and looked around in a daze. “Who… who called me?”
The Old Marquis and Su Yuan, who were sitting not far from him, heaved a sigh of relief. This guy was drunk. Fortunately! Fortunately!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Who do you expect him to know?”
Feng Xiaoran frowned in dissatisfaction. This guy was too useless. He had already drunk to this extent in less than half of the banquet.. No wonder he was useless!
