As the four whistles sounded, there was a hint of fear and wonder in her smart eyes. Nervously, she moved backwards, leaning against the iron cage behind her. The chains cuffed in his hands collided with each other as he moved, making a crisp sound.

As soon as Hua Qingrao saw this posture, she naturally understood everything, and this was clearly to auction this woman in public. Although this situation is not uncommon in Beiyan, it only appears in the land of fireworks, and it is rare to openly gather and auction in a restaurant in the capital.

The middle-aged man sighed and walked to the edge of the iron cage and stood still. He glanced at the crowd below who were staring at them like hungry wolves, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "This woman is the goddess of Nanyan, who knows anything in this world. She never spoke, and the only time she spoke in her life was to answer a question from someone she was destined for. ”

He blinked his eyes and raised his voice sharply: "And this is the goddess in front of him who has not yet opened her mouth!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience boiled. There was a prophecy that whoever gets the goddess will win the world. What this goddess means, all of them are not ignorant.

Hua Qingrao's body also trembled, the most noble goddess worshiped by Nanyan for generations has fallen here, and the situation of Nanyan can already be imagined.

She glanced at the excited crowd below, not only them, but even these people with status on the second floor made a lot of restless noise.

She turned her head and glared at Leng Yue coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "Gao Qixuan is how he governs the country!" ”

Leng Yue looked back at her and didn't speak.

The middle-aged man continued: "This woman is five hundred taels! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Six hundred taels!" ”

Immediately after that, the bidding continued, and as the price increased, the increase was also full and small.

When the price was called two thousand taels, the people sitting in the hall were already wilted, and only the second floor was still participating with great interest.

Hua Qingrao stood up and said loudly: "Five thousand taels!" ”

All of a sudden, it changed from two thousand to five thousand, and it was still shouted by a pleasant female voice, and the hall that had been quiet was boiling again. Everyone craned their heads and searched for the source of the sound.

Leng Yue's eyes were full of surprise, "Niangniang may be able to get these five thousand taels?" ”

Hua Qingrao smiled slyly, "Isn't there still you!" ”

The corners of Leng Yue's mouth overflowed with a wry smile, he was afraid that his little moon silver was not enough to stuff this fraction.

Just when everyone was still immersed in the pride of five thousand taels, a man's deep and magnetic voice sounded: "Ten thousand taels!" ”

As soon as this sound came out, the field suddenly fell silent, and everyone couldn't believe their ears, 10,000 taels was a sky-high number.

Even some dignitaries on the second floor shook their heads with a wry smile when they heard this number. No matter how tempting this goddess may be, it cannot make them risk breaking their fortunes.

Hua Qingrao was stunned when she heard this voice, why did she feel that she always felt a familiar feeling. She stood up and followed the voice, and in her direction she could only see the corner of the man's dark robe because of the obscuration of the window.

At that moment, she forgot to breathe, and just stared at the corner of the robe in a daze. It wasn't until the garment disappeared from sight that she came to her senses and rushed out like crazy.

The hallway was so long that by the time she got to the room, it was empty. Without hesitation, she ran down the stairs.

Leng Yue didn't realize her movements at all, and when she caught up with her, she was circling around the hall on the first floor like a headless fly.

The hall was crowded with people, and under the surge of crowds, Hua Qingrao's thin body looked particularly pitiful.

Leng Yue quickly pulled away from the crowd and squeezed to her side, her arm stopped her shoulder, sideways to block the oppression of the people around her, and escorted her towards the door.

Hua Qingrao was like a doll without a soul at this time, and she walked out with him in despair.

Leng Yue carefully helped her into the carriage, and she didn't dare to delay, and drove directly towards the palace.

Since returning from the palace, Hua Qingrao has changed a lot. It's not like before, when he sees Gao Qixuan, he looks like a hedgehog, but the stimulation of words is also indispensable.

On this day, Gao Qixuan sent someone over in advance to order him to have dinner in Weiyang Palace, and Jinlan had already taken people to work.

Hua Qingrao just looked at it lightly and didn't say anything to stop it. This makes it seem to the palace people of Weiyang Palace that she has a tendency to ease up with the emperor.

Gao Qixuan arrived as promised, Jinlan had already led people to set up dinner, and Hua Qingrao specially ordered someone to prepare a pot of thin wine.

The palace people looked at the rare harmonious scene of the emperor and queen, and they were very emotional in their hearts, and they also pushed it out with great vision.

There were only the two of them left in the room, Hua Qing Rao Su held the wine jug in her hand and poured two glasses of wine lightly, she put one in front of Gao Qixuan, and pinched the other cup with her fingers to hide her face and drink.

Gao Qixuan's indifferent eyes watched her movements, and he didn't make a move.

Hua Qingrao's face was faintly crimson, she held her chin lazily with one hand, and smiled stupidly: "What? The noble emperor is still afraid that my little woman will be poisoned? ”

Gao Qixuan didn't answer, these days, she sent someone to send food every day, but he never moved. He wasn't afraid she would poison it, he just didn't understand her sudden transformation.

And today, he got a piece of news and suddenly understood everything.

"Alright! All right! Hua Qingrao saw that he still had a straight face, feeling bored, and compromised to pick up another glass of wine and put it in his mouth.

Gao Qixuan grabbed her wrist and stopped her movements, "I came today, there is good news and bad news for you, which one do you want to hear?" ”

Hua Qingrao chuckled lightly and broke free from his confinement, "What's the good news?" What's the bad news? ”

"Northern Yan and Southern Yan are now unified." Gao Qixuan said lightly.

Hua Qingrao spread her hands, as early as the day of the building, she saw that the Nanyan Goddess was auctioned, and she knew that this day was coming soon. "That's just good news for you."

Gao Qixuan ignored her words and continued to say the next news: "Your old lover Mu Wang Zhao Yu has come to Beiyan. ”

The look on Hua Qingrao's face froze, and the hand on the table trembled involuntarily.

Gao Qixuan naturally didn't miss her reaction, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he poured cold water and said: "But he didn't come to look for you, he lingered in the land of fireworks for a month." ”

The glimmer of expectation in Hua Qingrao's heart was shattered in an instant, and also, in his heart, she had already disappeared with the fire.

"Don't you hate his merciless use of you?" Gao Qixuan asked.

Hua Qingrao raised her eyebrows, sneered and said provocatively: "I hate you more than him." ”

Gao Qixuan ignored her words and said bluntly: "I gave you a chance to kill him with your own hands, you might be able to do it?" ”

killed him with her own hands, these five words attacked Hua Qingrao's brain, can her hatred for Zhao Yu really support her to kill him with her own hands?

She forgot what kind of mood she had been in that night, and she could only vaguely hear her trembling voice say, "I can do it." ”

Hua Qingrao looked at the closed door in front of her, and her originally calm heart suddenly became restless. Her trembling fingers touched the door, and she and him were just separated by a single door.

Just as she was hesitant and about to turn away, a lazy voice suddenly came from inside the room: "Since you are here, why don't you meet me?" ”
