Chapter 277 - Metamorphosis
Xiao Zhai lazily sat on the Dragon Throne. Seeing the person who arrived, he slightly raised his brows and asked: “What are you so flustered about?”The prison warden knelt on the ground and timidly looked up at Xiao Zhai, then instantly lowered his head and replied, “Yes, it’s Empress Feng Fei.”“Feng Fei? What happened to her? ”“Empress Feng Fei went to the jail cell and said that she wanted to visit Aunt Wan.”After Xiao Zhai heard what the jailer said, he stood up abruptly. With anger on his face, he asked, “When did you go over? What did I tell you? “Hrm?”The prison warden was so scared that his body was trembling. “Go back to the Emperor, I have to stop them, but Empress Feng Fei, she …” Should he say whether or not Feng Fei forced her way in? If he did, then Feng Fei would blame him … After a moment of hesitation, the jailer cried out for mercy, “Please spare my life, Emperor.
“Step down!”
Seeing that, the prison warden thanked them before hurriedly getting up and rolling out of the hall. Xiao Zhai took a deep breath, flung his sleeves and left the palace, walking towards the direction of the prison cell.Just then, Helian Yao’er had already finished talking with Lily and locked him up again. Hearing someone call for the Emperor to drive over, she was startled for a moment, and then quickly covered up her nervous mood with a smile.
Helian Yao’er turned around and looked at the handsome man who was walking over with quick steps. She blessed her body and smiled: “Chenqie greets Emperor.”
Xiao Zhai glanced at Helian Yao’er, then glanced at Lily, who was sitting quietly on the ground with her head lowered. Killing intent flashed past his eyes, and he coldly asked: “What are you doing here?”
Helian Yao’er’s innocent eyes were covered by a layer of mist. “Emperor, are you blaming your concubine for not coming here?”
“This is an important cell!” As the concubine of the imperial harem, why did you come here instead of staying at your proper place? ” After he finished speaking, Xiao Zhai moved closer to Helian Yao’er, and whispered into her ears: “Speak! What is your goal?! ”
Helian Yao’er had never seen Xiao Zhai with such indifference before, she was so scared that she leaned backwards and replied softly: “I only heard that my concubine was very good at serving my father, so I came to learn from her.”
“Is that true?” Xiao Zhai looked at Helian Yao’er suspiciously, and Helian Yao’er hurriedly nodded, “Chenqie does not dare to lie to Emperor, because Emperor has been asking for it almost every night for the past two days, so chenqie also wants to learn some new tricks from concubine, so that Emperor will be unhappy everyday … “Everyone…”
As his voice grew softer and softer, Helian Yao’er’s complexion became redder and redder. Xiao Zhai’s gaze, from its previous indifference, became increasingly focused and enthusiastic. Once again, he looked at Helian Yao’er in front of him. Seeing her shy expression, his heart inexplicably throbbed.
Helian Yao’er’s eyes flashed fiercely, he suddenly raised his eyes, and his tears fell like a broken bead, delicate and touching. Seeing this, Xiao Zhai’s heart tensed up, and quickly hugged her closer to his chest and coaxed her in a gentle voice.
He kept whispering in Helian Yao’er’s ear, “Youyou, we were wrong, we should not have doubted you. Don’t cry anymore, okay? ”Helian Yao’er stopped crying and sniffed. She struggled out of Xiao Zhai’s embrace with her skirt tied up and ran out of the room while holding her. Seeing that, Xiao Zhai quickly followed her out of the cell, forgetting his purpose for coming to the cell.
Only then did Lily slowly stand up and look at the empty tunnel, a cold smile on her face. She muttered in her heart: “Helian Yao’er, I’ll be waiting for you to save me!”In the cell next door, the group of women stared at Lily’s back, they were extremely envious, if the new emperor’s concubine was already here, then in time, this concubine would be free!When the Consort Zhen thought about it, she anxiously walked over, tidied up her expression, and fawningly smiled at Lily: “That little sister, just now big sister was just joking with you, don’t take it to heart.”
Lily gave the Consort Zhen a cold stare, and said coldly: “What is elder sister saying, why would younger sister care so much about this.”“Hehe, it’s good that you don’t have one, it’s good that you don’t!”The Consort Zhen laughed dryly twice, then turned and sat back down. Lily’s bright eyes were fixed on the direction of the cell’s exit, her mouth carrying a weird smile, as though she was thinking about something.
The night passed, and the morning in the valley was exceptionally beautiful. Over ten thousand medicinal butterflies flapped their wings as they played within the flowers. The birds in the forest chirped incessantly, their melodious sounds especially pleasant to the ear.Early in the morning, Helian Yuchen got up and busied himself preparing breakfast. As Helian Yi, he understood his habits and habits very well. When he woke up in the morning, he had to eat some vegetarian food. Therefore, Helian Yuchen took the bamboo basket and leisurely searched through the forest for edible medicinal herbs.The sun slowly rose from the east. The warm golden light shining into the bamboo forest was like a beautiful painting. In the cave, the little thing in Helian Yi’s arms stuck its head out and moved, then lazily changed its position and lay down.In the beginning, when it went to Helian Yi’s bed, Helian Yi had rejected it. Not only did he refuse it, he even threw it countless times, but for some reason, he slowly accepted the fact that she went to his bed. Furthermore, because she shamelessly shed tears and gained Helian Yi’s sympathy, he was finally able to freely climb onto and fro Helian Yi’s bed.
Helian Yi who was sleeping soundly felt his arm suddenly turn cold, and very soon, he felt a hint of warmth, and knew that the little thing must have been restlessly moving its body, the corner of its mouth curled up into a smile that was hard to detect, and then disappeared.“Youyou”, who had been squinting her eyes, saw that warm smile. She froze for a moment, and placed her front paw on Helian Yi’s arm.Helian Yi suddenly opened his eyes, which were bright. His eyes looked down slightly, cast a sidelong glance at “Youyou”, and then looked towards the cave entrance. Seeing that the sky was already bright, he slightly glanced at his eyebrows, and indicated “Youyou” to stand up from his arm.“Youyou” with her round eyes staring at Helian Yi without moving, she liked to look at this man who made people feel good, looking at his every frown and smile, but when she thought about her current identity, Mo Youyou sighed helplessly. If she liked him, she could still chase after him. But now, as a cat that couldn’t even catch a mouse, she felt extremely helpless.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, thinking about her thought that she was in danger, she anxiously jumped down from Helian Yi’s arm. She actually likes him? How is this possible? They had only known each other for less than five days, so how could they fall in love with such a domineering and cold man so quickly? And always despising her!
Seeing Youyou’s actions, Helian Yi frowned, after tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the cave. Youyou “stood foolishly in place, and only after a long time did she react and follow Helian Yi out.
