The Ghost Face looked at Xuanyuan Jie, and from his eyes, one could see the emotions he was hoping for. Disappointment flashed across his eyes as he coldly asked, "You will be in trouble if you fall in love with that woman."
"NO!" She is my lucky god. If I look at her, I can see happiness, happiness that does not belong to being alone. " Xuanyuan Jie immediately retorted. He knew that neither he nor his mother liked being small. It was because Xiao Xiao was that brat's woman. They did not want him to wear broken shoes, so they all agreed to oppose it.
"But your happiness is in the arms of other men. A tainted lily is not worth the love of a noble Sovereign King. " The Ghost Face tightly locked onto Xuanyuan Jie's gaze, hoping to wake him up.
"NO!" She was a beautiful rouge flower, colorful, gorgeous, and also very clean. Master, you are not allowed to insult her in front of me! " Xuanyuan Jie stubbornly looked at the Ghost Face. He did not want to start a dispute with his master over the woman he loved.
Ghost Face originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing the stubbornness in Xuanyuan Jie's eyes, he could only shut his mouth and very frankly tell him: "She has already left, left the Blue Dragon Nation's imperial harem and lived the life she wanted to live. She doesn't belong here! "
Hearing Master's correct answer, Xuanyuan Jie felt that there was no need to enter the rouge hall anymore. Eyes rolling, he turned away.
"If you keep making promises for another woman, your mother will choose to kill her!" The ghost face threw out the last warning and disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.
Xuanyuan Jie did not think too much about the meaning of those words because the Queen Mother had already made her decision. But he would defend his love and bring her back.
From the start, he did not go to his own chamber, but to the Hall of Soaring Dragon.
On the other side, Eunuch Lin had already returned to the Supreme Dragon Hall. Seeing that the emperor was happily playing chess with Imperial Concubine Mei, he thought that the crown prince had not reported this matter to him yet.
Where did the Crown Prince go?
"Today, the Grand Princess is returning to the palace. We should head over to take a look as well." The emperor placed the last chess piece down and glanced at the happy Imperial Concubine Mei.
"Alright!"
Imperial Concubine Mei readily agreed. She really wanted to see that woman lose face in front of her daughter. He stood up impatiently and dragged the emperor towards the door.
"Your Majesty! The empress has already prepared a feast for the emperor and Imperial Concubine Mei. "
It was unknown when, but Ran Er appeared at the door of the house in a simple outfit. The absent-minded Eunuch Lin was startled and recalled Pingfei's warning today.
He remembered that she had transferred Ran'er to serve the emperor because she thought that this girl was innocent. However, when she looked into her eyes now, her eyes were filled with a faint sense of terrifying fury. This was something that Ran Er didn't have.
He was sure, he was sure that this girl wasn't Ran Er.
"Eunuch Lin, go and find Qi'er and Xiaoxiao. Tell them not to be late tonight." Imperial Concubine Mei raised her voice to tell Eunuch Lin that she didn't want anything to happen to her.
"Yes!" This servant will go right away! " Eunuch Lin paid his respects to the emperor and Imperial Concubine Mei before slowly retreating, his heart hanging in the air.
What should he do?
He had to find the Crown Prince as soon as possible to come up with a plan.
Without further ado, he wiped his cold sweat and ran as fast as he could to the Dragon Rex Hall. Before he could catch his breath, Xuanyuan Jie appeared at the entrance as well.
Heavens!
If he could, he really wanted to find a place to rest. Today, he seemed to have been running all day.
"This servant greets Second Master!" Exhausted, he bent his body and gave a respectful bow.
"Stand up!" Upon seeing Eunuch Lin, Xuanyuan Jie hurriedly relaxed his expression. After thinking for a moment, he slowly asked, "This eunuch is not here to serve by royal father's side. What business do you have here?"
"Reporting to Second Master, with the orders of His Majesty, I invite the crown prince and the crown prince's consort to apply the empress's food for a banquet. I wonder if Second Master can see His Highness? " Eunuch Lin decided to strike Tai Chi. When he raised his head to look at the Second Master's anxious expression, he could guess that the Second Master had already received the news.
"Oh!"
Obviously, Xuanyuan Jie's tone was filled with doubt. But no matter what, Eunuch Lin was still the most popular person beside his father, so he had to show him some respect.
With a smile, he calmly asked, "Unfortunately, I also wanted to find my royal brother for the banquet, but I didn't see them."
"Then, this old servant will go look for him again. Perhaps the Crown Prince's wife, Ya Xing, has gone out to play somewhere." Eunuch Lin smiled, wanting to escape his sight as quickly as possible.
"Go!" Xuanyuan Jie did not make things difficult for him, because as long as he could find Xuanyuan Qi, he would be able to find Xiaoxiao very quickly.
However, an ominous premonition kept swirling in his mind, preventing him from turning around and leaving immediately.
Sure enough, after a short while, she saw Ling'er rushing over with a letter in her hand. When she saw Xuanyuan Jie and Eunuch Lin, she bowed and said, "Ling'er pays her respects to Second Master!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xuanyuan Jie looked at Ling'er's panicking eyes and that bad feeling became even stronger.
Ling'er took out a letter from her bosom and respectfully handed it over. "Eunuch Lin, please pass this letter to the emperor."
"This is …" Eunuch Lin was doubtful.
"Before leaving, the crown prince had Ling'er deliver this letter to his father-in-law and had him present it to the emperor." Ling'er shook her head. When Master left, she even deliberately asked about Master's whereabouts. He just looked at her with a bit of melancholy, then turned and left without saying a word.
Xuanyuan Jie really wanted to see what was written in the letter. He looked at Eunuch Lin expectantly. He was about to speak when he saw that the two girls beside Imperial Concubine Mei were running towards him.
"Eunuch Lin, Eunuch Lin!"
Shua'er was panting heavily and she couldn't get up. When she saw Xuanyuan Jie, she couldn't stop her car at all and even hugged his feet when she knelt down with a "putong": "Two … Second Elder! "
"Why are you always so reckless? What's the matter now?" Eunuch Lin was anxious. He should hurry up and read what was written in the letter. Don't try to help, the emperor will be hurt again.
Shuang`er clutched her chest and took a deep breath. After some time, she stammered, "Eunuch Lin, the Emperor is urging the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to leave soon."
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess aren't here. Second Master, this servant has to go back to the Emperor first." When Eunuch Lin heard this, he became even more anxious. However, he could only suppress his emotions and maintain his usual calm demeanor in front of the second master.
"Alright!"
Xuanyuan Jie was also nervous, but he could only helplessly wave his hand.
Eunuch Lin saluted, turned his head, and ran off. The two of them bowed as well, and soon disappeared into the corridor.
Ling'er looked at Eunuch Lin's departing figure and stole a glance at Xuanyuan Jie. Her heart was beating wildly and her hand that was holding onto the silk handkerchief was already sweating.
However, Xuanyuan Jie was in no mood to pay attention to Ling'er. With a worried frown, he turned around and followed after Eunuch Lin.
Looking at his back, Ling'er faintly smiled. Closing her eyes, the image of Xuanyuan Zhi's face appeared in her mind once again. She was so frightened that she immediately opened her eyes and followed them to the Phoenix Maiden Palace.
At this moment, the Phoenix Nest Palace was in a state of complete chatter and laughter. The gentle and lovable Grand Princess Xuanyuan Xue was naturally the most important person today. As she spoke to her third and fourth brother, her gaze kept on looking towards the main entrance.
"Big imperial sister, what are you looking at?" Xuanyuan Yu mischievously shook his elder sister's hand with a coquettish expression.
"You! He was already a man, why was he still so shy? "Be careful, if your mufei sees it, I'll have to talk about you again." Xuanyuan Xue raised the corner of her eyes and rubbed her little brother's forehead.
However, only Imperial Concubine Mei dared to make such a move. If Imperial Concubine Mei saw this, she would think that she was a lackey.
Actually, she had always known that she was just a bargaining chip for her mother. Compared to his ambitious second brother, he was like a grain of sand in a river, so insignificant that he could not be found.
From the moment she began to understand, she knew that because she was not a man, she had let her mother go to many things. Thus, ever since she was young, Imperial Mother didn't like her much. It was his younger brothers who frequently paid him visits to ask about his well-being. Although their eldest brother and little brother weren't born of the same mother, their relationship had always been very good.
Finally, one day, the Queen Mother saw that her eldest brother had already been conferred the title of Crown Prince, in order to hold the military power in his hands. On the surface, she said that she was going to be married to her husband, but in reality, it was to hold the military power in her hands.
She knew all of this very well. It was because she was not a boy that she was born to be her mother's chip. As for her, she could only obey, agree, and even go along with him.
Fortunately, her husband had brought her along and loved her very much. However, just like his mother, his husband's eyes were filled with the desire for power. Many times, he wouldn't be able to stay by his side.
"Big imperial sister, Yu'er only dared to be so impudent because he knew mufei wasn't here. Great royal sister, what are you looking at? " Xuanyuan Yu continued to shake Big Sis's hand and mischievously pouted his lips.
"You!"
Xuanyuan Xue could feel warmth from his body, something that would never be felt by her mother's side. However, when the Queen Mother appeared, she had to keep her distance from her eldest brother and fourth brother.
"Great royal sister, royal father and mother have come."
Xuanyuan Ye saw his royal father and Imperial Concubine Mei walking towards him with a single glance. Behind them was his angry mother. He hurriedly used his hand to nudge them, who were still playing around.
Immediately, Xuanyuan Yu sat back down obediently. Xuanyuan Xue helplessly pulled down her face. Seeing that her consort, Situ Xiu, had also walked over, she couldn't help but squeeze out an ugly smile.
"What happened to the princess?" Situ Xiu was also looking at Xuanyuan Xue with concern. He followed her gaze and saw the emperor and his mother walking towards them.
The emperor seemed very happy. It was rare to see his eldest daughter returning to the palace. He stroked his white beard and walked towards his daughter and son-in-law with a happy expression on his face.
"Greetings to Your Majesty and Queen Mother!"
"Greetings to the emperor and mufei!"
"Greetings to the emperor, the empress, and Imperial Concubine Mei!"
Finally, the empress's face broke into a smile. This was because she heard that even if the servants paid their respects to her, she would only stand in front of that slut to give her some comfort.
"Stand up!" The Emperor chuckled and raised his hand.
Standing up, Xuanyuan Xue walked over and greeted him with a smile as she looked at her royal father. Old, royal father is really old, his hair is a lot whiter than last time I saw him.
Imperial Father had always been very tired, and carefully handled the relationship between Imperial Mother and Imperial Concubine Mei. His eldest brother and second brother had always been at odds with each other, so he must have hurt a lot of her feelings. These past few years, whenever she wasn't by his side, she would miss him a lot.
