Chapter 229: Entering the Forbidden Palace at Night
Emperor Chiyang had heard about this, and he had also seen Princess Rong at the Seven Kingdoms, although Princess Rong was masked because of a rash at that time, he knew that King Rong of Longxi Kingdom had married the eldest princess of Fengming Kingdom.
But wasn't Princess Rong of Long Xiguo burned to death because of the fire?
Why is it alive again?
What the hell is going on?
Emperor Chiyang frowned, his mood getting worse and worse.
He was in a bad mood, so that Si Xuerou, who was accompanying him, also became nervous, and kept observing his face with his spare eyes, and he couldn't swallow it, just now her good mood was all gone by his bad mood.
"The Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Netherworld, is it your eldest sister?" Emperor Chiyang finally spoke, his brows furrowed, and asked Si Xuerou in a deep voice.
Si Xuerou heard him mention the morning light, became more and more nervous, pondered his thoughts, and replied in a low voice:
"Yes."
"Did your eldest sister marry King Rong of Longxi Country back then, and is it the current Emperor Longxi?"
"Yes."
"But didn't Long Xiguo say that Princess Rong was burned to death by a fire?"
Si Xuerou was stunned, she had also heard about this, and she was still overjoyed when she heard that Chenguang was burned to death by the fire. But later, I heard that Chenguang had already returned to China and had become the phoenix lord of the Phoenix Kingdom, Si Xuerou was also puzzled, and could only resentfully the rumors that could not be trusted.
Now when she saw Emperor Chiyang asking, she thought in her heart, she didn't live in the Feng Ming Kingdom, how could she know the truth. But she can't help but answer, a companion is like a tiger, who knows if Emperor Chiyang will suddenly get angry because she can't answer. But she couldn't just answer. While thinking about how to answer so as not to let herself be implicated because of the morning light, she smiled and replied softly:
"The concubine has been in Chiyang Kingdom, and the matter of the eldest sister is not clear, but since the eldest sister is alive and well, it shows that the rumors are not accurate. As for the eldest sister who has already been with Long Xiguo, why she suddenly returned to Fengyingguo, the concubine does not know and it is difficult to guess, but as far as the concubine knows, the eldest sister has a strong temperament, and if something like that happens, it is very likely that there is a conflict between the eldest sister and her brother-in-law, and the eldest sister returned to her parents' house in a fit of anger. ”
Emperor Chiyang did not say anything about her explanation.
Seeing this, Si Xuerou became more and more nervous, her heart rose to her throat, and she took a chopstick dish, while observing the expression of Emperor Chiyang with her residual vision, she gently and thoughtfully clothed the vegetables into Emperor Chiyang's bowl.
Emperor Chiyang suddenly asked, "Have you seen your eldest sister?" ”
"Nope." Si Xuerou answered.
She didn't react when she answered, but when she finished answering, she suddenly reacted, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
What does Emperor Chiyang mean by this?
Si Xuerou lives in the deep palace and can't leave the palace at all, if outsiders want to enter the palace to see her, they must report through layers of reports and the queen's approval before they can enter the palace to visit her.
Emperor Chiyang didn't need this question at all.
But he asked.
What does he mean by that?
Did he think she and Chenguang would have a secret connection?
Or did he think that Chenguang would sneak into the palace to meet her?
No matter which one it was, the reason why Emperor Chiyang asked such a question showed that he was suspicious of Si Xuerou and was jealous of Chenguang.
At this time, Si Xuerou's mood was angry, frightened and aggrieved, but she couldn't vent this emotion, let alone ask him what he meant.
At times like these, it's just a good time to shut up and keep safe.
So after answering two words, she stopped talking and continued to meekly cook vegetables.
Emperor Chiyang didn't speak again, he was absent-minded.
After dinner, Emperor Chiyang left in a hurry.
Si Xuerou sent him away with a gentle expression at the door, and after Emperor Chiyang left, her expression became cold.
Her heart was full of anger.
It's all the broom star of Chenguang that makes her suspicious, and Chenguang is really not a good thing!
……
The mirror-like moon hangs in the sky, spreading its silvery light across the earth.
Si Xuerou returned from outside, and when she walked into the Treasure Palace, she took off the black cloak that was covering her outside and handed it to the embroidered chrysanthemum who followed her.
In the middle of the night, the Treasure Palace is silent, and the pins can be heard.
The corners of Si Xuerou's eyes could not hide the spring color, and when she climbed the stone steps, she pulled the collar with her hand to cover the red marks on her neck.
She stepped into the dormitory with a spring breeze on her face.
Xiuju pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to prepare water in person and wait for Si Xuerou to bathe.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Si Xuerou, who had entered the inner room, let out a frightened scream.
Xiuju was startled, hurriedly ran in, bypassed the screen, and asked in a loud voice:
"Mother, what's wrong?"
The figure that appeared next to the soft couch under the window also frightened her, she also screamed in fright, at this time, she only felt a chill from the soles of her feet to the heavenly spirit cover, making her have goosebumps layer after layer, her eyes were wide open, and the sense of fear overflowed in her chest, she couldn't help but tremble.
"His Royal Highness the Phoenix, Lord Phoenix......"
Chenguang lazily crooked on the soft couch that Si Xuerou often leaned on, looking at them calmly, without the tension and fear of breaking into the Forbidden Palace of Chiyang Country at night, she curled the corners of her lips and grinned:
"Are you so happy to see me, you all screamed, you master and servant really have a tacit understanding."
Xiuju heard this, and trembled even more, she thought that the Imperial Palace of Chiyang Kingdom could block His Royal Highness Chenguang, but no, then, she was finished, absolutely finished, His Highness Chenguang's ruthlessness that did not match his appearance was well known.
Thinking of this, Xiuju's knees were weak, and she knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head.
Si Xuerou also felt frightened, she was shocked by Chenguang's ability, Chenguang could actually break into the Forbidden Palace at night without knowing it.
But she has a little more confidence than Xiuju, after all, she is the concubine of Chiyang Kingdom, even if Chenguang is dissatisfied with her, she believes that in the palace of Chiyang Kingdom, Chenguang will not dare to blatantly kill her.
Thinking of this, she moved her lips, she wanted to smile naturally, but she was very stiff when she didn't want to smile, but she couldn't care so much, she reluctantly asked calmly:
"Why did the big sister come over suddenly?"
Chenguang looked at her and replied with a smile:
"Of course, I came to visit my favorite second sister. I wrote to my sister several times, but my sister didn't reply, which made me so worried, but today I saw that my sister was safe and sound, and my sister was finally relieved. ”
Si Xuerou had goosebumps all over her body, and said with a wry smile:
"Letter? Did the big sister write to her sister? But my sister has never received it, embroidered chrysanthemum, have you received it? ”
Xiuju lowered her head, heard the words, hurriedly shook her head, and replied in a stack:
"The slave maid has not received it!"
Before the words fell, I heard Si Ba, who was standing next to the soft couch, snorting disdainfully.
This cold snort fell into his ears, and Xiuju trembled even more.
The methods of Master Si Ba are also terrifying.
