Crap!
The empress had already made up her mind to kill him. Wasn't that Princess Pingping in danger?
Thinking of this, she pushed Xuanyuan Zhi away once again and stood up with the intention of going to see how Pingfei was doing now.
"You're not allowed to go anywhere!" Xuanyuan Qi roared and pulled Xiaoxiao onto the bed.
"You don't know how to cherish the feelings of others, I understand! Since the empress had already laid her hands on me, she definitely wouldn't let mother off. I don't want to see my mother hurt or... Otherwise, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. " While Xiaoxiao was still in a rage, the bitterness in her heart was also triggered as she looked at Xuanyuan Qi with tears in her eyes. She knew that he was the only one who could help her at this moment. He was the only one who could prevent the Queen from continuing her rampage.
"Don't cry, this is also for your safety. I have already strengthened the guards of the rouge hall and have also arranged for people to secretly protect Pingfei. I also do not want royal father to live in guilt. " Xuanyuan Zhi's voice was very good. His tone suddenly turned gentle as he stroked his tiny face. He looked at her with a pleading gaze, hoping that she would understand his current situation.
Little Jun slowly quieted down. Looking at his gentle eyes, her heart thumped wildly as if she had been possessed. She became a docile little lamb and very obediently nodded her head. She threw herself into his arms, crying out in pain on his firm chest.
"I'm going to take care of some matters. I'll come back later to see you." Remember, don't run around. royal father dotes on you so much, but he's already at his age. Could it be that you have the heart to make him sad? " Xuanyuan Qi said in a soft voice, as if he was coaxing a child. The look in his eyes caused them to get closer and closer.
"Father, this little thing doesn't want Father to be hurt, don't! You must not tell royal father about Pingfei, that is his most painful scar. " Xiao Budian shook his head, his heart thanking the royal father for his fatherly love.
"Since you don't want to, you have to listen to me." Xuanyuan Qi gave her a reassuring smile.
"Yes!" Xiaoxiao was already mesmerized by Xuanyuan Zhi's gentleness, and she nodded her head vigorously.
"I'm leaving, take good care of yourself." Xuanyuan Zhi slapped his small face and stood up on his own, walking out of the room without even turning his head due to the pain in his heart.
Ling'er had always been watching Xuanyuan Qi's gaze as he looked at his. When she saw the rarely seen gentleness in his eyes, she didn't know why, but his heart had been seized by a wave of bitterness.
After Xuanyuan Qi left for quite a while, Xiaoxiao finally came back to her senses. Shaking his head, he saw that Ling'er was still standing on the spot with the ginseng soup in hand. His previously unfurled brows furrowed once again.
"Ling'er!" "Ling'er!"
Ling'er only regained her wits after she shouted twice. She carried the ginseng soup to the bedside and sat down, smiling as she brought it to her master's mouth.
"Why? Why didn't you come and help me then? " She looked straight at Ling'er, even though she had already guessed that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of Ling'er even if she were to ask. However, the curiosity in her heart made her open her mouth.
Sure enough, Ling'er lowered her head evasively and responded to the little question with silence.
Xiaoxiao did not get angry, but instead reached out to touch Ling'er's face in sympathy and softly said, "Since you don't want to say it, I will not ask you. However, I hope you understand that if the person you want to deal with is Xuanyuan Zhi, then don't waste your time. You... You can't beat him! "
Ling'er's eyes suddenly lit up as she raised her head to look at Master.
"You don't need to look at me like that. Don't treat everyone like a fool!" It was a small piece of advice, and she hoped that Ling'er would listen to it.
Ling'er lowered her head, holding the ginseng soup as she staggered out of the house, as if she had lost her soul, and returned to her own room.
Sigh …
Poor girl, there must be some unspeakable secrets on her body.
Looking at Ling'er's expression, he felt a little sad in his heart. However, if that was really the case, Ling'er couldn't continue to stay by her side. Due to the care she had shown these past few days, she did not want to see Xuanyuan Qi getting hurt. Even if they wanted to hurt him, he could only do it himself.
Leaning back on the bed, she thought about that dream again. The Heavenly Maiden Mountain in his dreams, the flying snow in his dreams, and Ran'er in his dreams.
Ran Er, just what kind of woman is she?
Did she come here to unravel the secret of the rouge hall?
She stood up and covered her chest as she hurriedly put on her clothes. She was still worried about Pingfei, so she decided to check her heart out. Unexpectedly, he walked out the door and saw that the guards had surrounded him inside and outside like dumplings.
"Do you want to put me under house arrest?" Little Jun let out a loud, strenuous roar, which shook the pain in his chest again.
"This servant doesn't dare!" [I am under the orders of the Crown Prince's grandfather to protect the Crown Princess.] The leader of the guards kneeled on the ground, and the entire group behind him also fell to their knees.
With a small glance, he recognized this person as the person who had obtained the fake corpse the other day. Her eyes wandered and she quickly found the loophole in his words. She immediately retorted, "The Crown Prince only asked you to protect me, not imprison me. Now, I want to go out and follow whatever you want! "
The guard thought that the Crown Princess was right. He hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "The Crown Princess is right. Thank you so much for not making things difficult for us."
"Get up! I want to go to the rouge hall and take a look. " Xiaoxiao raised her head and puffed out her chest, putting on an act as she raised her hand. Naturally, she was already used to the etiquette of these concubines.
"Pu …" rouge hall? "
When the guards heard this, they were so scared that their faces turned blue. Some of them even trembled, unable to stand up no matter how hard they tried to crawl on the ground.
"What is it? If you don't even dare to go to the rouge hall, and even say that you want to protect me, isn't the job of the Embroidered Uniform Guard a little too easy? " Xiaoxiao smiled coldly, gave them an extremely mocking glance, and walked towards the door without looking back.
The guard stood up when he saw the Crown Princess leaving. Ye Zichen gave a look to the guards behind him, then chased after Xiaoxiao.
When Xiaoxiao arrived at the entrance, she immediately walked towards the rouge hall. She did not know that other than the guards behind her, there was an even more terrifying yellow sparrow following her.
With flying speed, he arrived at the entrance of the rouge hall, and noticed that the entrance was already surrounded by guards so that not even a drop of water could trickle through. It seemed that Xuanyuan Qi had not deceived him.
Stepping forward, she didn't even want to push open the door and enter. Who knew that the guards behind her would follow in as well, making her a bit angry. "You're not allowed to follow in. How are you going to explain to the emperor if you disturb the princess?"
The leader of the guards and the others looked at each other, a look of hesitation flashing across their faces. On the contrary, the guard who had been standing guard at the entrance of the rouge hall greeted his and first bowed to the Crown Prince's consort. She then echoed, "The Crown Princess is right. The Crown Prince has already instructed that without permission and under special circumstances, you are not to harass Lady Pingfei."
"Did you hear that? The crown prince has already said that you can't harass Lady Pingfei. " Upon hearing this, a look of delight appeared on Xiaoxiao's face. She pushed all the guards outside the door, closed the door, and even locked the door.
Hehe!
In a moment of desperation, Xiaoxiao secretly smiled, closed the door, and ran towards a familiar place.
Pow!
A slap landed hard on a cold face, and it was filled with anger. However, facing the woman in front of her, she had no choice but to suppress her anger.
"What is it? "You think I called the wrong person?" Ran Er, who was filled with anger, gritted her teeth as she spoke. If it wasn't for the fact that this dumb woman was still useful, she would have already been exterminated that night.
"She's not a real Holy Maiden. Staying behind will only get you in the way. I'm only trying to get rid of the stumbling block, what's wrong with that!" The empress touched her hurting face, feeling wronged. But thinking about it, he wasn't a match for this witch at all. Moreover, Jie Er would need the help of the witch to ascend the throne in the future. He had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Of course I know that she is not a Holy Maiden, but she can help me find what I want." Ran Er sneered. Although she still hadn't figured out Xiaoxiao's true origins, she was completely sure that she wasn't the Holy Maiden.
"How do you know she isn't a Holy Maiden?" It was brought from Heavenly Maiden Mountain, and the whole world knows it. " The empress had long been full of questions about her identity. Since Ran'er had left, she might already know her true identity.
"If you ask me how to know, then I'll tell you, because … I am the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Maiden Mountain! "
With a cold laugh, Ran'er descended from the sky with a screen made of silk. Behind the screen, she waved her sleeves and transformed into a gorgeous red dress. With a wave of her hand, the screen flew up. She turned around, revealing a beautiful face. Compared to that ordinary girl from before, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Tap, tap, tap!
The empress backed away in fright, astonished at the sight of Ran'er's recovery.
And, this … This face made her think back to 20 years ago, when the emperor's favorite Luo Susu was also a peerless beauty, just that she was less enchanting than this person. This sort of seductive charm was exactly what the men were desperately looking for. If she wanted to confuse the emperor, then she and Imperial Concubine Mei would have to stand off to the side.
A sense of danger came over her, and she was afraid that something terrible would happen again. She stared intently at Ran'er as she thought of something else in her mind.
"I'm not interested in old things! and they're not interested in these ordinary people and their power. " With her identity as the empress, Ran'er was able to see the scheme in the empress's eyes.
"Then, why did the Holy Maiden descend this time?" The empress was frightened again, and the nakedness that was seen through made her feel flustered.
"Don't worry, the reason I came down to this world was to find the lost treasure from Heavenly Maiden Mountain. Everything else has nothing to do with me. Since you are willing to stand on the same front as this Holy Maiden, I will naturally help your Jail ascend to the throne. Not just a throne, but even if I unify several kingdoms, to this Holy Maiden, it will only be a small matter. " After saying that, she used her sleeve to cover her face, making her look like she was in a dream.
The empress was still standing at her original spot, unable to recover from the shock. She stared intently at the face that had once again turned ordinary, its color drained from her face.
"If I do anything, I won't eat you. As long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee your safety. " Ran'er looked at the empress's frightened expression with a sense of accomplishment.
"Yes, yes, yes!" I will not dare to act rashly again, so I hope that Holy Maiden can forgive me! " The empress answered immediately, but her curiosity was piqued. She paused for a moment before asking, "May I ask what use that little thing has for the Holy Maiden?"
Ran Er looked at the Queen from head to toe with a strange expression. She looked at her from head to toe before speaking, "Since I've told you where I came from, then I'll be frank!" The Luo Susu you hate in your heart was once my martial sister as well, and also the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Maiden Mountain. "
