Chapter 9 Trapped in the "Well"

As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes fell on Su Yuejin either implicitly or directly.

The relationship between the empress and the wise prince before entering the palace is self-evident.

Many people are looking forward to what kind of comments the Queen will have.

Xiao Zhaolin was no exception. He stood under the high platform and looked at Su Yuejin with a bit of expectation.

The latter pursed his lips and said with a sneer: "I think it is vulgar and not as interesting as watching a sword dance."

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials, including Xiao Zhaolin, were stunned. Xiao Zhaolin frowned slightly, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he felt something was wrong in his heart.

"That's all, Prince Xian is also tired. Please sit down and rest."

Xiao Shengyun chuckled, but returned to his serious expression after a moment, but in the end he was in a happy mood and hastily smoothed things over for Xiao Zhaolin.

The banquet continued, and after all this, a new program was arranged.

The harmonious scene was restored at the banquet.

Su Yuejin was looking at the singing and dancing dancer, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Xiao Zhaolin sitting below.

Xiao Zhaolin had obviously been paying attention to her. When he saw Su Yuejin looking at him, he immediately raised his hand under the table, made a gesture and looked outside the hall.

Because he moved very quickly and was hidden underneath, he obviously just wanted Su Yuejin to see him.

Su Yuejin understood that this was asking her to follow him outside the palace.

Why?

She looked away coldly, as if she hadn't seen it, and continued to focus on the show.

Seeing Su Yuejin withdraw her gaze, Xiao Zhaolin couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He had to figure out what happened to Su Yuejin no matter what tonight.

When the banquet was over, Xiao Shengyuan was hurriedly called away, and the officials also took their leave with a look on their face.

Su Yuejin slowly stood up and deliberately walked out alone.

When they arrived near the Royal Garden, Su Yuejin felt someone holding her wrist. She shook it off hard, turned around and saw Xiao Zhaolin.

"Quejin, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strange since I came back this time. I..."

Xiao Zhaolin was still pretending to express his deep feelings, but unfortunately Su Yuejin in this life had already recognized Xiao Zhaolin's true face.

"His Royal Highness the King Xian, do you think this is the place to talk?"

As she said that, she looked around deliberately and seemed to have thought of something. She came slightly closer and whispered in her ear: "Come to my bedroom later. I'll wait for you."

After Su Yuejin finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Xiao Zhaolin looked at her back. Even if he was impatient, for the sake of his own plan, he could only endure it silently.

The sky gradually darkened.

In the courtyard of Kunning Palace, Su Yuejin was sitting at the table, carefully peeling grape skins.

Under the moonlight, the beauty in the quiet courtyard is overwhelming, and there is no one around, as if waiting for the destined person to meet.

Xiao Zhaolin strolled up to Su Yuejin, approached and put his hand on Su Yuejin's shoulder.

"Li Jin, what happened to you today? But someone bullied you and spied on you?"

Before Su Yuejin could speak, Xiao Zhaolin couldn't wait to ask.

Su Yuejin suddenly stood up, then looked at the man behind her with red eyes.

"Your Highness, I have waited so hard for you. You don't know that the Emperor has been paying attention to me during this period. He didn't want to talk to you more before because he was afraid of being noticed." After Su Yuejin said it, she couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but choke up.

With a look like this, no man would be able to refuse easily.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin breathed a sigh of relief. He thought so, but where could this woman transform in a few days? It was because he was overthinking it.

He pursed his lips and sighed, then asked again: "Did you understand what I meant at the banquet?"

"Of course I understand His Highness's intentions. But when the Emperor asked me, if I had agreed even half a sentence, wouldn't it have made the Emperor even more suspicious of our relationship?"

As she said that, Su Yuejin took out a handkerchief and wiped her non-existent tears.

"Your Highness's poems are so good, why do I think they are vulgar? I actually have my own difficulties!" She lowered her head and explained with aggrieved face.

After hearing Su Yuejin's words, Xiao Zhaolin's expression improved a little.

Just when he was about to reach out and take the woman in front of him into his arms.

The eunuch's voice suddenly sounded outside Kunning Palace.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Xiao Zhaolin just raised his hand for a moment, and a panicked look appeared on his face.

"It's over, the emperor is here! You, you hide quickly!"

Su Yuejin's expression changed drastically. She looked around the courtyard and finally focused on the well.

"Here, you can hide in here."

Xiao Zhaolin glanced at the well in front of him, nodded slightly, then leaned over and jumped in.

There was water below, and he could only use his internal strength to hold on to the wall of the well to prevent himself from falling.

As soon as Xiao Zhaolin jumped down, Xiao Shengyun arrived.

"What are you busy with?"

The magnetic voice came from behind. Su Yuejin pursed her lips and turned around with a decent smile: "Your Majesty, I think the night is beautiful tonight, so I admired it outside for a long time."

Xiao Shengyun kept his eyes on Su Yuejin's face, and nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "That's right, I will accompany you tonight. In addition, the main reason for coming here this time is to tell Jin'er what you mentioned

I have already asked people to re-investigate the corruption matter."

Su Yuejin was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She pulled Xiao Shengyun and sat on a chair in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, these grapes are particularly sweet, please try them."

She fed the grapes she peeled with her own hands into Xiao Shengyun's mouth.

The movements of Su Yuejin's hands were very slow, as if she was deliberately stalling for time.

Xiao Shengyun didn't know when Su Yuejin learned these delaying skills, but if she used it on herself, she would be extremely happy.

At the same time, Xiao Zhaolin's arm supporting the edge of the well began to tremble unconsciously.

He frowned and couldn't help but urge in his heart, but unfortunately it was of no use.

In the courtyard, Xiao Shengyun was enjoying being fed by Su Yuejin. Suddenly a faint breath appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but pause. Su Yuejin didn't notice anything strange about him. When he saw that the grapes in his hand were being eaten, he went to pick them again.

Next one.

Xiao Shengyun probed slightly and suddenly discovered that there was a third person hiding in the courtyard.

"Jin'er, in your courtyard..." Before Xiao Shengyuan could finish her words, Su Yuejin stretched out her fingers and pressed her lips gently.

"Does your Majesty believe me?"

Hearing this, although he didn't know what Su Yuejin was going to do, Xiao Shengyun still stopped talking and nodded slightly.

"Then I, my concubine, will continue to serve His Majesty!"

In this way, Su Yuejin kept Xiao Shengyun in her yard for more than an hour before letting him go.

"I respectfully send you to your Majesty."

She leaned forward slightly and couldn't hide the smile on her face.

After seeing Xiao Shengyun's back gradually disappearing, Su Yuejin pretended to be panicked and turned around and ran towards the well.

"Your Highness, are you okay? Come up quickly!"

She stretched out her hand to pull the person up from the bottom of the well, but Xiao Zhaolin had already lost her strength.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Yuejin.

"Ji'er, go and find a rope for me. My hands are sore."

"Then wait for me." After Su Yuejin said that, she stood up and ran away pretending to be anxious.

But as soon as she left the vicinity of the wellhead, Su Yuejin slowed down and the coldness returned to her face.

Xiao Zhaolin, please wait slowly.
