Chapter 266: Bad Intentions
In the middle of summer night, even if the night breeze is gentle, it is no longer a biting cold, but a burst of coolness in this sultry heat, which is very refreshing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The moonlight is like water, bright and soft, pouring down, everything seems to have fallen a layer of hoarfrost, if it were not for the mottled shadows under the flourishing branches and sometimes turbulent with the evening breeze, it is really like being in the cold winter wax moon.
Xia Xue'er's body foundation is understandable, after nearly a month of conditioning, it has recovered its original seven or eight points of charm, especially the skin that has been tanned almost wheat, but now it is as white as ever, it is a little more haggard, it looks like it is not as radiant as in the past, I believe that before the wedding, it will definitely be able to return to the original situation of blowing bombs and breaking!
She wore a long purple dress that reached just to the ankles, the texture was soft, and when the breeze blew, the corner of the shawl went backwards with the wind, and gently slid down her shoulders. Mu Xuanlong walked side by side with her, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, but Xia Xue'er took a step back quietly, and stretched out her hand to pull the shawl that had slipped down.
Mu Xuanlong's hand froze in mid-air, and after coming back to his senses, he was slightly embarrassed, so he grabbed the osmanthus branch that leaned out of the aisle, picked a green leaf, and played with it in his hand.
The two of them continued to walk again, Mu Xuanlong took the lantern from the palace maid's hand, and they took a few steps back one by one, only following from a distance, Xia Xue'er understood that he had something to say to himself.
"My father summoned me this afternoon, and I entered the palace, and I have always wanted to come to see you, are you used to living here with my mother?"
Mu Xuanlong asked, his words were light and caring, which really seemed like a close little couple.
Xia Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and to be honest, she was scared in her heart. If he only thinks of her as a conspiracy or a tool to use, then she can face him calmly with the mentality of a chess piece. But if he wanted to see her as a wife, care for her, and love her, she didn't know how to get along with her.
She had made up her mind, even if she married into the Qi Palace, she didn't fight or grab, and she didn't want half of his favor, just as it was a gorgeous cage, not ...... Family.
Once there is care, there will be apologies, and with apologies, she can't help but want to make up for it, but she doesn't love him, she loves Su Qi, it's Su Qi!
Xia Xue'er had a complicated look in her eyes, and after a while, she replied: "It's a good thing that Your Highness is valued by the saints, so why worry about your courtiers." ”
The tone is cold and without any emotion, which makes people feel like falling into an ice cellar after listening to it. Her heart still refuses to accept him, even though she has promised to marry him!
Mu Xuanlong was silent, and the two continued to walk forward, Yuehua Palace is very large, and they take a sedan chair on weekdays, but today the two of them walked under the moon, and they really didn't go out for half a day!
Mu Xuanlong thought about things in his heart, and his pace slowed down a few beats, and Xia Xue'er could only slow down.
"Father summoned me for an old thing, don't you want to know?"
As she walked, Mu Xuanlong suddenly came out with such a sentence, Xia Xue'er only felt that there was something strange in it, this matter must be related to herself!
But even so, she had no interest in wanting to know, so she only lowered her eyebrows and straightened out her wide sleeves, and replied: "National affairs, how can I understand a backyard woman, His Royal Highness King Qi should not say it, otherwise it will be boring." ”
"Backyard girl?"
Hearing her say this, Mu Xuanlong only felt ridiculous.
"Hehe, this king doesn't see that your positioning is very accurate!"
Xia Xue'er naturally heard the mockery in the other party's tone, not only did she not have a little anger in her heart, but she breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not an ambiguous tone, so that she could deal with it easily.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Mu Xuanlong asked again, "How much do you know about that incident fifteen years ago?" ”
Seeing that she was just about to speak, he added before he could: "I know you know, don't think about deceiving this king!" ”
That tone is really oppressive! It made people involuntarily breathe faster, and they were covered in cold sweat, but Xia Xue'er was not an ordinary person, she did not answer Mu Xuanlong positively, but asked rhetorically:
"So how much does Your Highness want me to know?"
Mu Xuanlong was almost speechless when he heard her playful tone!
couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look at her fearless little face, which still had a smile that he couldn't help but couldn't pull out.
Squinted his eyes slightly, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You know the Killing Palace, right?" ”
Xia Xue'er raised her head fearlessly, and met Mu Xuanlong's eyes, she was tall, but she was still not as tall as his shoulders, so she looked up so much that she felt a little sore in the back of her neck, so she simply twisted her head to the side, admiring the garden in the moonlight, but asked rhetorically: "Your Highness wants to say that the Killing Hall is the culprit who caused the death of the eldest prince?" ”
Her side face was angular under the moonlight, her tall and delicate nose, and her slowly opened red lips, Mu Xuanlong was a little stunned.
"There are clues that this matter is indeed related to the Killing Palace!"
"So what?"
Xia Xue'er raised her eyebrows disappreciably, bent over, and stretched out her hand to an orchid in the garden, with purple-brown spots on the white petals, surrounding the golden stamens, like a poisonous snake spitting letters!
Orchid was originally a gentleman, but he grew up in this intriguing harem, and his quality changed.
Her fingertips swiped over the petals, Fu straightened up again, turned to face Mu Xuanlong, and he spoke.
"Today, my father summoned me to discuss this matter, if it is true, I am afraid that the Killing Hall will not survive next year!"
Xia Xue'er had already guessed what the other party was thinking in his heart, if it weren't for her running away, he wouldn't have talked to her about the Killing Palace!
After she came back, she didn't mention to anyone where she had been in the past few months, let alone who she was with, but he could find out!
It is worthy of His Royal Highness King Qi!
Since they both knew each other, and he went around in such a big circle just to tell her that the Killing Hall had been on the Emperor's Majesty's must-kill list, and this list was something that only he could change except for the Emperor, wasn't it for some purpose?
"And you hope it's true or not?"
The smile on the corner of Xia Xue'er's mouth was very deep, but it was a mockery, and the eyes that looked at Mu Xuanlong were also like looking at the sinister and cunning little man. (To be continued.) )
