"Hua'er, right now, the most important thing for us is to bring down Xiao Yan. For the rest, let's discuss it in the long term, okay?" Cheng Yi gently lifted Xie Minghua's chin, her eyes full of tenderness.
Xie Minghua looked at the man's face and was addicted to it for a moment. Nono said: "Cheng Yi, you are the only man I have in this life."
Cheng Yi curled her lips and murmured softly, "Yeah."
But the moment Xie Minghua leaned in for a kiss, she immediately turned away.
"?"
"Hua'er, how's the person you arranged doing?"
Xie Minghua was stunned for a moment, then realized that Cheng Yi had seen through all her little thoughts that she thought she had concealed well.
She was not discouraged, raised her lips and smiled coquettishly, "Everything has been arranged. Cheng Yi, what did you promise me?"
Xie Minghua said, gently touching her belly, her eyes full of calculations.
Cheng Yi just glanced at her lightly and said nothing.
But that look made Xie Minghua's heart flutter.
"I know it. I've been out for a while. Xiao Yan will probably find out."
Cheng Yi still didn't move at all, just nodded and signaled her to leave.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Xie Minghua's beautiful features, but it soon turned into eyes full of scheming.
As long as she takes down Xiao Yan, she can be with Cheng Yi openly.
No, what she wants is the supreme right.
From Cheng Yi's doubts, it turns out that his former sweetheart is also taking advantage of him.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty just sent someone to stay at the Yongshou Palace tonight." The palace maid called out carefully.
"What?" Xie Minghua was full of surprise, and then she quickly covered her face and got into the Yongshou Palace.
She couldn't understand why Xiao Yan was so mysterious and unpredictable. They said that the heart of an emperor was like an abyss, but she was the only one who couldn't see through Xiao Yan.
Yongshou Palace.
It is magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, just like a fairyland on earth.
This was the place Xie Minghua had longed for. She tried her best and finally entered the Yongshou Palace, but she couldn't be happy.
"See the Emperor."
Xiao Yan stepped into the Yongshou Palace and saw Xie Minghua sitting on the main throne, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a phoenix crown, looking like a queen.
A flash of surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes, but he soon calmed down.
"See the Emperor."
Xie Minghua's entire fingernails were straining, for fear that Xiao Yan would find out the clues. She didn't even notice it herself, and the maids around her were staring at the two of them with trepidation.
"Everyone, go down!" Xiao Yan sent out all the maids and eunuchs in the Yongshou Palace. The maids all lowered their heads and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You think it's possible that His Majesty punished the Queen during the day and came to apologize at night, right?"
"You have all guessed wrong. On the surface, His Majesty is indifferent to the Queen, but in fact, he is very happy for the Queen in his heart. A few days ago, I saw that His Majesty rewarded the Queen with a pair of jade Ruyi tributes from neighboring countries. !”
"Really?" Seeing the maids surrounding her gathered around, Du Juan, Xie Minghua's personal maid, raised her chin arrogantly, "Of course, my empress was born into a noble family, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace at home. How many other women in this world can compete with her? , not to mention that the empress is so beautiful that even a woman like me is quite attracted by her."
"Dujuan, could you please elaborate more?"
Three or two maids walked to the door of the palace and whispered, "Your Majesty has been honored and favored all her life. She was named a noble concubine when she entered the palace. Which woman have you seen your Majesty treat with such honor and favor?"
"I will be crowned Queen in March. Your Majesty will stay overnight every day. I am afraid that your Majesty's body is already in your belly. I scold you loudly during the day, but I am actually afraid that your Majesty will stir up the fetus in your belly. The grounding is just your Majesty's. It's just rhetoric, in fact..." Du Juan looked mysterious, "Your Majesty feels most sorry for your empress."
"Oh, I see."
Seeing the little palace maid being stunned by him, Du Juan also felt complacent.
It was rumored that Xiao Yan was furious, bloodthirsty, and prone to killing innocent people indiscriminately.
But since Xie Minghua entered the palace, Xiao Yan has restrained himself a lot.
"Queen." Xiao Yan's eyes were as bright as a torch. Xie Minghua was anxious and stammered, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Bu Yao on his head shook in panic.
Xie Minghua tightly grasped the fabric on her knees, "Your Majesty, you...what are you doing, so late at night..."
Looking at the indifferent man in front of her, Xie Minghua took a breath.
Xie Minghua's heartbeat quickened, and her hands hanging on her sides twisted together unconsciously and nervously.
Xiao Yan slowly approached, with a steady gait, but his eyes were as sharp as cold blades, instantly causing the temperature of the entire hall to drop to freezing point.
He has a slender figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist. He is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, embroidered with complicated golden dragon patterns. The dragon's eyes seem to be staring at Xie Minghua, as if he will rush out and devour her in the next second.
He slowly stretched out his hand and gently lifted Xie Minghua's chin with his fingertips. His deep black eyes were full of exploration and scrutiny.
The bridge of the nose is high and the lips are distinct, with an aura of abstinence and majesty. Every line seems to have been carefully carved and is breathtakingly perfect.
Xie Minghua felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She closed her eyes tightly and her eyelashes trembled, waiting for the coming wind and rain.
But the expected love did not come. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yan coldly retracting his hand.
"Queen, it's so late. Don't catch a cold when you go out."
After saying that, Xiao Yan rolled his sleeves and left.
Seeing the bright yellow dragon robe disappear from sight, Xie Minghua dared to relax.
"Empress, are you okay?" Du Juan hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Minghua, "Your Majesty lost his temper again."
Xie Minghua's face turned pale. She raised her hand and touched her belly, "He understands."
"ah?"
Du Juan's face turned deathly pale, thinking that the whole thing was airtight, but he was still discovered.
Just because Xiao Yan didn't say it didn't mean that he didn't know.
Xie Minghua clenched her fingers, and Du Juan quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, your Majesty naturally has you in his heart. It's a small matter to leave the palace, but his concern is genuine. Your Majesty, how about we..." Du Juan raised her eyes and met Xie Minghua's. look.
Xie Minghua was silent, "He knows."
Seeing that the palace door was wide open and a crowd of people were about to pour in, Xie Minghua immediately followed, but was stopped by Fu Haiquan, "Queen, the Emperor has ordered that you cannot leave the Yongshou Palace without His Majesty's permission. Half a step.”
"Are you spying on me?"
Xie Minghua knew that she could not escape.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw that Xiao Yan had stopped and was listening. She didn't know what he heard, and his face became even darker.
"Fu Haiquan." Xiao Yan called out in a deep voice, "Come here."
Fu Haiquan immediately leaned over to salute and trotted to Xiao Yan's side.
The two of them said something, and the next moment, Xiao Yan's eyes fell directly on her.
Xie Minghua stiffened and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she raised her eyes, she met a pair of deep black eyes.
Those eyes seemed to hide an abyss, trying to swallow her up.
Xiao Yan is not a fool. He has already suspected it, but he has no evidence.
