C600 Who do you think you are

"Why are you hiding in that corner? Wailing Home almost didn't find you. Come here, come here."

"…"

Meng Hui felt that the empress dowager was purposely opposing her, that she was sitting in a corner eating her food, that she should go over if she had nothing to do, how could she have the face to eat in front of all these people?

What a pity for this plate of soft and delicious Red Braised Meat.

Meng Hui stared at the plate of Red Braised Meat unwillingly for a few moments before walking towards the empress dowager.

Only now did Kaiser and Yun Jiao Rong realize that she was Meng Hui, because they had not seen her for so many years, they did not recognize her.

Meng Hui had been raised by the empress dowager's side when she was young, so she naturally knew the Kaiser. As the daughter of the tutor, Yun Jiao Rong had attended lessons at the palace, and the late emperor had also granted Yun Jiao Rong permission to enter the palace to study with them.

Therefore, the relationship between Kaiser, Meng Hui and Yun Jiao Rong was not bad.

Later, when Meng Hui was ten years old, she suddenly said that she wanted to follow the General Zheng to the border, and they had never met again. Occasionally, Meng Hui would return to the capital and meet with the empress dowager, before leaving.

So much so that when Meng Hui was sitting next to Yun Jiao Rong, she did not recognize her.

From the empress dowager's attitude towards Meng Hui, everyone knew that their guess was right, the empress dowager would most likely let Meng Hui be the last.

Meng Hui was also bitter in her heart, she definitely knew what the empress dowager was thinking, but she wasn't stupid.

Therefore, no matter how much these rich and powerful they were, she knew that there was no hope for them. It would be better to follow her example and obediently eat Red Braised Meat in the corner.

But the empress dowager just couldn't do as she wished and had to drag her out. If she knew earlier, she would have stayed at the general's estate to eat some meat, but there was no point in entering the palace at all.

Meng Hui saw that many pairs of eyes were fixated on her and she knew in her heart that things were not looking good.

She had no interest in meddling in their affairs, but it was very clear that the empress dowager was an extremely hateful person. Facing so many pairs of hostile eyes, Meng Hui rolled her eyes internally.

There are a lot of people who don't like me, who do you think you are?

In this palace banquet, there were not many people who were in a good mood. Ever since Liu Tian Xin died, her entire person had become listless, and from the start, he had been quietly drinking. She did not get involved with anyone else's topics, and when those misses came out to perform, he did not even bother to watch, and just immersed herself in her own world.

Yan Yuan and his wife seemed to have gotten along well in recent days, and had a little more appetite compared to the others.

As for the young ladies and their parents, who had originally thought that they had a chance of becoming the champion, their appetite had greatly increased after receiving the appreciation of the empress dowager. However, after seeing Meng Hui's appearance, their appetite instantly disappeared.

If Meng Hui knew that her appearance could turn her stomach this bad, she would definitely go back and settle the score with Old Zheng.

The Emperor was also depressed, because of Yun Jiao Rong's disdain towards him. Even if he wanted to stand at the back, she was indifferent to it, because the more he drank, the more frustrated he became, and many times he wanted to rush in front of Yun Jiao Rong and personally hear her answer. Did she have any heart at all?

Seeing that her son was not in a good mood, the empress dowager's mood naturally wouldn't be any better. To Kaiser, this matter at the back would be extremely difficult.

But there was nothing he could do, after all he was the Kaiser, and his son was a person who was related to the entire Yan family, so he wouldn't allow him to joke around.

Meng Hui was even more depressed, she felt that she was the most innocent. She ate her meat in a corner and was called over by the empress dowager to sit beside her.

Even though she tried several times to place the plate of Red Braised Meat in front of him, she could only endure it.

To a carnivorous man who could snatch meat from a general in a military camp, that was torture, torture.

She didn't have any meat to eat, but she still had to endure the glare. She also had to look at the negative energy on the faces of those people. This was something that no amount of Red Braised Meat could make up for.

In short, not many people could enjoy this palace banquet.

The palace banquet had dispersed rather early. By the time everyone had returned, it was only the middle of the night.

Yan Jue stood at the entrance of the Prince Lu's Mansion, staring at the Prince Lu's Mansion's board in a daze. On New Year's Eve, the moonlight was especially bright.

He had thought that he could no longer remember the girl he had forced to be respectful and wait for him back at the mansion. But now that he thought about it, her face, and her smile, were still clearly visible.

His eyes turned crimson, and they were so sore that it felt like stabbing pain.

He did not even dare to enter the palace, as there were too many memories of him and her here. Every time, when he entered the mansion and could no longer see the figure he had been hoping for, his heart would be torn apart time and time again.

He just stood there, looking at the bright white moonlight in the sky. He felt that the moon tonight wasn't as bright as he had imagined.

The white moonlight in his heart had disappeared, and his world could not be lit up no matter how hard he tried.

If he hadn't let her go back then, or perhaps he had accompanied her back to xieqing, would that have been … Xiao Tian Xin wouldn't die?

In Yan Jue's heart, he regretted to the point of suffocation.

He feebly sat down on the cold stone steps and stared at the ground in a daze.

At this moment, snow began to fall from the sky, piece by piece. It fell onto the ground, falling onto his shoulders.

Yan Jue suddenly cried in pain, his wails sounding extremely mournful under the night sky.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Tian Xin, I'm sorry …"

He had not cried for a long time already, and he buried all of his emotions deep within his heart. Tonight, his endless longing for Liu Tian Xin began to grow bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, bit by bit …

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer.

In an alley not far away, a slim black shadow quietly watched the scene before him. The black shadow lightly moved forward, but then quickly withdrew in fear.

Yan Jue stopped crying and stood up from the stone steps with difficulty.

When he walked to the door, suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, staining Prince Lu's Mansion's door red.

"Xiao Tian Xin, I... Here... "It hurts here …"

He clutched his chest and fell heavily at the door.

The moment he fell to the ground, the dark figure in the alley suddenly rushed over. Because he had run too fast, his feet slipped and he fell into the snow. His palm was scuffed and the cold snow seeped into her wound, cooling into her blood.

She silently frowned. Not caring about the pain, she ran forward and squatted beside Yan Jue, shaking him silently.
