Looking at the expression on Qingyan's face, Sikong Zhaoya knew that Qingyan must have found it. Following Qingyan's sight, she happened to see Lady Xu.
Looking at Lady Xu behind him, Emperor Xiyue said with a smile, "Qingya, this is Lady Xu, my new favorite. She has a delicious smelling scent at such a young age. I am really obsessed with her!" Then he looked at Lady Xu with a smile.
Qingyan frowned when she looked at Lady Xu. She felt sad that Emperor Xiyue had been addicted to the her fragrance. The Jiuxiang Herb could control others' mind. Was it because of Lady Xu that the Beilin Kingdom and the Xiyue Kingdom cooperated?
Looking at the faint smile on Lady Xu's face, Sikong Zhaoya thought of what Qingyan had said before. So she said to her with a smile, "Greetings, Lady Xu! My father is getting old. Please take good care of him."
Lady Xu giggled, "It's all right. It's my honor to take care of his majesty. I'm not bothered at all."
Seeing the expression on Sikong Zhaoya's face, Emperor Xiyue walked up to her and held her hand. "Why do you come back at this time? Is there anything wrong? Or is it because Emperor Xiaojing didn't treat you well, so he drove you back?"
Qingyan looked at Emperor Xiyue and said with a smile, "His majesty has treated her very well. Please don't worry. His majesty won't hurt her. But we met an ambushed killer when we entered the city. If I hadn't protected the princess, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see her now."
Hearing this, Emperor Xiyue opened his eyes wide, but Qingyan also noticed Lady Xu's guiltiness. It seemed that the person behind the whole thing must be Lady Xu.
"Who are you? How can you be so impolite?" Looking at Qingyan, Emperor Xiyue asked impatiently, "Is this the way the people from the Nanchen Kingdom behave?"
"I'm the guard of Emperor Xiaojing. I only listen to him. I don't care about other people. Your majesty, you should know that," said Qingyan, smiling.
Hearing Qingyan's words, Emperor Xiyue looked at Sikong Zhaoya, waiting for her approval.
"Father, Mudan is indeed his majesty's guard. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to see you." As she spoke, Sikong Zhaoya wiped her tears. "You will be very sad if I died with my
g Zhaoya. After so many years in the palace, her intuition told her that the girl beside Sikong Zhaoya was not simple.
When she saw Qingyan, Weisheng Bingqin took a step back. Pointing at Qingyan, she asked, "Who are you?"
Looking at the anxious expression on Weisheng Bingqin's face, Sikong Zhaoya walked up to her and said, "Mother, this is his majesty's guard. Thanks to Mudan, I can be alive."
Upon hearing this, Weisheng Bingqin turned to look at Sikong Zhaoya and said, "That woman really did something to you. Are you hurt? How about Emperor Xiaojing? Now the two countries are in a war. How can you come back? It's too risky. Qingya, do you know what I mean?"
Sikong Zhaoya nodded and said, "Mother, I understand. But his majesty is also very curious why the Beilin Kingdom and the Xiyue Kingdom suddenly joined hands to attack the Nanchen Kingdom, so his majesty asked me to come back and have a look."
Hearing her words, Weisheng Bingqin shook her head and said, "Qingya, you shouldn't have come back. You should know that your brothers have been driven out of the palace by Lady Xu in the same way. Now they are all relegated to commoners by your father."
Hearing this, Sikong Zhaoya was shocked and asked, "Mother, what happened in the imperial palace? How could my brothers be kicked out and relegated? What happened after I left the Xiyue Kingdom?"
Weisheng Bingqin shook her head helplessly. "Anyway, that woman is a disaster! Qingya, you'd better leave now."
