Chapter 536 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3] 40

Chapter 536 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](40)

Chonghua Hall.

Bai Yan and several maids followed Concubine Xiao Shu into the banquet.

She was only wearing an indigo palace dress today. She dressed very low-key and had the right smile on her face.

However, this smile completely disappeared after seeing that there were only a few palace attendants in the palace.

She sat down in her seat angrily and scolded the maid next to her, "Where are the people you asked to invite? Why haven't any of them come yet?"

She came a little late on purpose, just to get to know Liu Qiqi more and let her know the rules of the palace.

Unexpectedly, she and Concubine Xiao Shu were the first to arrive.

The maid looked frightened and said, "Maybe, maybe something is delaying me. I will go and hurry you up right away."

"Forget it, no need." Bai Yan waved her hand impatiently, "What about Brother Huang? Why haven't you seen anyone else?"

Another maid replied, "The Second Prince has just sent someone to inform you that he is not feeling well and will not come to the banquet tonight."

Bai Yan snorted coldly.

What is physical discomfort?

That guy Bai Cang must have been afraid that the high priest would find out that he secretly raised snakes and killed so many people, so he made excuses not to come.

I really don’t know how such a cowardly guy has the courage to seize the throne!

Feeling a little better, Bai Yan took a sip of the fruit wine in front of her and accidentally asked, "Why are you the only ones? Where's Linglong? Why haven't you come back to reply when I asked her to give me some clothes?"

The maids looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.

But a slave standing at the front quickly knelt down, "This slave just saw Sister Linglong when she passed by Weiyang Palace. She, she..."

Bai Yan raised her eyebrows in displeasure, "What's wrong with her? Tell me quickly."

"She, she was killed with a stick!"

"What?!"

Bai Yan stood up suddenly, shocked and angry, "What did you say? Who did it? Who dares to kill my princess's people with a stick?!"

"I was the one who had someone kill me with a stick. Why, does the third princess have any objections?"

A cold male voice sounded in the hall.

Bai Yan looked away angrily, and was even more shocked when she discovered that it was Bai Yuming who had spoken.

"Uncle Emperor?"

Bai Yuming walked slowly into the palace.

He was wearing his usual purple robe today, but it was more ornate and complicated than usual. The fringe on the black jade crown hung down to his chest, there were dark patterns on the skirt, and there was a tiger-patterned jade belt hanging around his waist.

Bai Yuming's facial features are deep and three-dimensional, rich and handsome.

At this moment, wearing this gorgeous attire, he looks even more noble and oppressive, and he is not angry and has authority.

But Bai Yan always felt that he looked different.

Although his lips were slightly raised, the coldness in his eyes was stronger than ever.

It was as if everything around him was unbearable to his eyes.

Even the power he has always longed for is no longer disdainful, as if his desire has been wiped away, leaving only an unpredictable fog.

Just when she calmed down her anger and was about to ask, she noticed with sharp eyes that there was a woman following behind Bai Yuming.

The woman was dressed in a red dress, with a bejeweled gold crown on her head that swayed slightly with her steps. Her figure was slim and slender, and her appearance was even more stunning and refined. The beauty mark under the corner of her eye was also particularly gorgeous set off by the dress, making people unable to take their eyes away.

.

When she touched the woman's slightly bulging belly and her eyebrows that were similar to those of Concubine Wen, Bai Yan couldn't help but take a breath and firmly grasped the corner of the table in front of her.

It’s Liu Qiqi!

Why did she come here with the emperor's uncle?

Clenching her fists, Bai Yan bit her lip and said, "Uncle Huang, I wonder what mistake Linglong made to make Uncle Huang so angry?"

Bai Yuming sat down and replied casually, "Of course you bumped into me carelessly. Why, the third princess is angry? Everyone is dead. Does the third princess want to take out my anger on me?"

His words choked Bai Yan so much that she couldn't utter a single word. She could only grit her teeth and sit down with her head downcast.

"Uncle Emperor, what are you talking about? How dare Yan'er get angry with Uncle Emperor? She's just a maid. Uncle Emperor, just kill her."

As she spoke, her peripheral vision followed Bai Wu closely.

Looking at that face, Bai Yan's heart couldn't help but twitch.

She now understood why her father favored this humble woman.

This face is her biggest trump card!

Thinking back to the time when Concubine Wen was the favorite of the Sixth Palace, no matter how prominent her mother-in-law was, she could not compare to her.

Later, because he failed to win favor, he was thrown into the cold palace, lost his mind, and never looked like a normal person again.

She and her brother could only rely on Concubine Xiao Shu to survive in the harem.

And all this is thanks to Concubine Wen.

After finally planning to force her to commit suicide, now there is another woman who looks so similar to her.

Still pregnant.

Is it possible that she also wants to give birth to a second Bai Nu?

But just as Bai Wu's smiling eyes moved over, Bai Yan could only endure her unhappiness and smile back.

Immediately afterwards, she gave Concubine Xiao Shu a look.

Concubine Xiao Shu immediately understood and was about to speak, but was abruptly interrupted by the eunuch at the door of the palace——

"The priest has arrived——"

She didn't care to talk to Liu Qiqi anymore and quickly stood up to salute.

The originally noisy Chonghua Hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone held their breath and waited for the arrival of the high priest.

Rong Chen was still dressed in white, unfazed by favors and humiliations.

That beautiful face was also covered by gold ornaments, revealing only a pair of seemingly ruthless snow eyes.

However, these eyes rippled slightly when they touched the woman in red.

But it is also so weak that it cannot be detected.

Rong Chen gathered his thoughts and walked straight to the upper right seat.

Four waiters in white naturally stood behind him.

However, he had just lifted up his clothes and before he could sit down, a joking male voice filled his left ear——

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have suffered from a bit of wind and cold today and it is inconvenient for me to stand up and salute."

Only then did Rong Chen notice Bai Yuming, who had been sitting beside him without moving.

He frowned slightly.

But it wasn't because of the man's provocative words at the moment, but because he had thrown away the clothes he gave to Liu Qiqi earlier.

Therefore, the priest, who was always gentle and did not like to argue, sneered at this moment, with a light and cold voice, "I have heard that the prince is free and unrestrained. Today, it is even worse than the rumors."

Bai Yuming narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous undercurrent passed through his eyes.

When he was in Lingnan Town, he was extremely disgusted with this high priest who seemed to be a serious person, but in fact he was always trying to catch his prey.

If it weren't for the special status of the priest, he would have been blessed by the broken god.

He had already devoured him in Zhaoyao Mountain, instead of just letting him fall off the cliff and suffer some physical pain.

Rong Chen seemed to be aware of his murderous intention, and his eyes moved slightly, seemingly looking at him calmly, but in fact, their eyes were locked in a silent fight.

The smell of gunpowder spread directly to Bai Nu on the opposite side.

After experiencing so many planes, it was the first time she felt so helpless and tired.

"003, do you think that if the fragments don't like each other and kill each other, will my mission be considered a failure?"

[Forget it.] 003 is categorical, [So host, you have to find a way to let them live in peace.]

Bai Wu, "?"

"How can this be peaceful? Did you see the looks in those two people's eyes that could kill someone?"

And there were only two of them. If those three met together, it would be unthinkable.

As if to prove what she was thinking, a bright male voice came from outside the hall——

"Hey, it seems that I've come just in time. It's so lively tonight."
