C64 Confusion

After returning to the bedroom, she closed the door and checked herself in the mirror. He had ripped off a few buttons on her collar, leaving a few red marks on her tender skin that was as smooth as water.

She began to stare into the mirror.

He treated her differently than he used to be. When he touched her at that time, he would brush his hands clean with his handkerchief in disgust before throwing it away. Yet now, he was actually hugging her and kissing her … When he heard what Xiao Yi Bei might have done to her, the color of the blood that had been emitted from the steam had completely faded. It was as if he had suffered a great blow.

Did he really care about her, or was his perverted possessiveness playing tricks on him? She couldn't tell.

But he did not hesitate to jump into the icy, bone-piercing river to save her. He took off his outer garment and wrapped it around her … Although he was good at showing off in front of others, he probably wouldn't show off his body to others.

She couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. She had said too much just now.

Xiao Yi Xiu straightened his clothes and looked at himself in the mirror. His face was still pale, as if he hadn't turned around. His eyes were filled with confusion, and he couldn't even tell what he was thinking about.

He thought back to what Gu Qingli had said, and his eyes turned colder and colder. Xiao Yi Bei actually dared to touch his men …

Following that, Gu Qingli's furious gaze swept across his heart. That layer of watery light reminded him of Li Yue, causing him to be terrified.

Those two similar eyes and the medicinal fragrance from her entire body … It turned out that his heart had long since been unable to differentiate the two of them.

But they were clearly two people.

He decided to stay away from her. No matter how similar they were, they were not the same person.

Before the birthday banquet had even begun, it was already filled with the sounds of silk and bamboo. The festive atmosphere in the palace was lit up everywhere, and before the sky had even darkened, the palace lamps were lit up, and the palace maids were shuttling back and forth with flowers and fruits, and eunuchs were going to the east and west sides to welcome the prince, duke, and official.

In the throne room, the emperor was seated in the middle of the grand hall. The princes were already seated at the bottom of the hall. When they saw hundreds of civil and military officials sending gifts like flowing water, the eunuchs who were counting the gifts almost went hoarse from shouting at the top of their lungs.

At such a joyous time, the emperor didn't seem to be in a good mood. At the beginning, he looked dignified, sitting upright like a mountain. Gradually, he showed an impatient expression. It was obvious that his body wasn't feeling well.

Xiao Yixiu watched him without batting an eyelid. Gu Qingli wasn't clear about the situation within the palace, but he was clear about it.

Recently, the crown prince, Xiao Yi Bei, had heard of the absurd behavior of the Emperor. He even heard that he had secretly hidden a pregnant woman in a brothel outside the palace.

From the matters of Liuxin, the emperor had already expressed his dissatisfaction with the crown prince's preference for beauties, but now his heart wavered even more. Therefore, even though he hadn't expressed anything in the past year, his attitude towards the crown prince had become more and more unfathomable.

The Ling family had become more and more powerful in the imperial court. The empress could feel that the position of the crown prince had become more and more unstable, so she had no choice but to make a move against the emperor and let him die before he could bear it any longer.

How could the empress not write something when the dispensary was stolen at this time? The pair of embroidered shoes that he placed in the Wei Ronghua Hall were not in vain.

He smiled coldly. The empress was dissatisfied with Imperial Concubine Lan for what happened to Gabriella, so she took the opportunity to attack her. She wanted to get rid of Imperial Concubine Lan's power.

Xiao Yi Xiu thought that the empress would make use of this opportunity to make a move tonight, so she didn't have much time left.

The emperor's gaze swept the area, only to see that Xiao Yixiu had a handkerchief over his mouth as he coughed softly. There was no one by his side, so he asked, "Where's Princess Mo?" There was displeasure in his eyes.

"In reply to Imperial Father, the wangfei has caught a cold. I'm afraid that it will disturb the celebration at the banquet, so she won't come back from her illness."

Following that, a eunuch took a step forward and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear. Immediately, the emperor's expression changed.

The Crown Prince was actually inviting Princess Mo to the pleasure boat, forcing her to jump into the river. His actions were getting more and more ridiculous! This matter was related to the honor of the imperial family, so he naturally could not speak out at the birthday banquet. He could only glare at the crown prince.

It was no wonder that Princess Mo chose not to come. Firstly, she was afraid that she might really freeze in the Imperial River. Secondly, she was afraid that she might meet this disrespectful crown prince again. On the other hand, King Mo was able to keep his cool and endured the urge to report anything.

For a moment, the emperor's impression of Xiao Yi Xiu improved slightly. He glanced at Xiao Yi Xiu and saw that he was coughing violently. He couldn't help but frown. The War God of the past had now become such a sick person. No matter how good he was, it was useless. The emperor then stopped paying attention to him and continued to accept the celebration of the hundred officials.

After the eunuchs surrounding the emperor left, they secretly glanced at Xiao Yi Xiu and then turned their gazes away as if nothing had happened.

Not long after the banquet started, Xiao Yi Jin suddenly held his head with his hand. With a pale face, the palace maid by his side secretly sent a message that Prince Yan had yet to recover from his injuries before returning to the capital and was in a hurry to return to the capital.

"Go, go." Since it was an old illness on the battlefield that had yet to be healed, it was inconvenient for the Emperor to say anything.

Xiao Yijin's figure staggered into the darkness. When he entered the harem, he immediately started walking hurriedly.

Under the cover of the trees and flowers, the mysterious figure headed towards the chamber.

Suddenly, a red figure appeared in front of them, blocking their path. It was as if a ghost or shadow had appeared out of nowhere, and they didn't know where it came from.

Xiao Yi Jin was walking alone before he suddenly saw a red shadow standing in the darkness. Even though he was bold, he was so shocked that he stopped walking. He wondered where that ghost girl came from.

"Who?" He lowered his voice. He knew that he had to go where he did not want anyone to discover him, so he did not dare to cause too much of a ruckus.

The lady in red slowly walked closer. A red veil covered his face, and only a pair of eyes that were bright as the stars stared at him. "Prince Yan is in a hurry to rush to the riot room?"

Xiao Yijin's expression changed as he suddenly attacked without any warning.

No matter who she was, she knew that he was going to the bomb den, and it was safest to kill him here first!

The woman in red's figure flew through the air, like a bright cloud passing through the shadows of his palms. Occasionally, he would see her fingers like an orchid, flashing with silver light.

Xiao Yi Jin actually couldn't get the upper hand in a fight at all. On the contrary, his body was constantly tingling. He did not know that if it wasn't for his agility, it would not have been a simple matter.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Ghost Doctor Li Yue."

Xiao Yijin had only been back in the capital for a few days, but he had heard of this name before. Recently, it had been widely spread throughout the capital. It was the target for all sorts of forces.

But why had she entered the palace? This puzzled him.

"Who brought you to the palace?" Xiao Yijin couldn't kill her at the moment, but he was even more anxious. He only wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
