Chapter 6 The Reborn Prince of the Hou Mansion (6)
Noticing that he had changed his title from "concubine" to "I", Nan Xian was silent, her eyelashes slightly lowered, and began to flirt: "You are my queen."
Hearing this, Si Xiao sneered at the corner of his mouth and stared coldly, with a smile on his face but not a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't think that I am hiding the white steamed buns to eat, right?"
Nan Xian: "..."
"Your Majesty, you don't want to ask me why I entered the palace for my sister?" Si Xiao felt a little depressed, so he pointed it out directly, with a cruel smile on his lips, like a hunter looking at a roaring beast in a trap.
"I don't want to know, I can just pretend not to know."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Si Xiao frowned.
The hunter wanted to stab the beast's heart with his knife, but the beast avoided it and pierced the earth wall behind the beast.
"I told you on our wedding night that I am very satisfied with you as the queen. It is you who pleases me, not Si Yao."
When the apricot eyes stared straight at him, they became more and more captivating.
Si Xiao's breath suffocated, and he suddenly stood up. His heart seemed to have been hit hard by a heavy hammer, with a loud bang.
The smile at the corner of his mouth slowly froze, and he stared intently at the handsome emperor on the couch. He was shocked, stunned, and disbelieving. A layer of frost formed on his soft face, and his eyes were horrifying: "On the night of the emperor's wedding, this will happen."
Did you discover my identity?"
Nan Xian's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm as she lied: "I, I read a book before..."
The bright yellow gauze curtain was hooked by the fingertips and slowly closed.
The young man put one knee on the bed and looked down at the beautiful emperor.
With murderous intent in his eyes, he took out a delicate dagger inlaid with gems from nowhere. The cold dagger was pressed against Nan Xian's slender and white neck. His eyebrows were sharp and his rouged thin lips were slightly raised, exuding an evil aura.
, "Book? The emperor will answer me after thinking clearly."
"It's really a book...it's called Mei, a collection of beautiful men. I can't find it now."
The title of the book made Si Xiao's eyes twitch.
"Inside is a ranking of Dongyao's handsome men, with portraits attached. You...you are ranked number one." Nan Xian looked down at the cold dagger moving around his neck, whimpering in panic before the dagger pierced his skin.
"Everything I said is true. I have the habit of Longyang."
Hearing the last words, the violent and sinister look on Si Xiao's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a look of shock and confusion. After a long moment of dumbfounding, the dagger suddenly stabbed three inches into her neck, and her cheeks burned with anger, "Hunjun!"
At this time, how could Nan Xian dare to touch his forehead? Her eyes were red and silent, her eyelashes were a little wet, and her watery almond eyes were pitiful.
The more Si Xiao looked at her, the more irritated he became. Remembering the last time he kissed him in front of his father, Si Xiao wanted to cut her neck and crush her bones into ashes. But for some reason, he saw her lying sadly.
On the bed, I thought again of her desperate efforts to save him that night.
Following his gloomy and depressed thoughts, the dagger made a hole the size of a fist.
Nan Xian saw that his expression changed again and again, as if he wanted to poke holes in her body. She closed her eyes, reached out and pinched her thigh, and her red eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist, feeling aggrieved.
Staring at him, "I am not a foolish king, that was my first kiss."
The tears rolling out of his wet red eyes were crystal clear and round. Si Xiao suppressed the strange joy that surged in his heart and looked at her coldly. For a moment, he was defeated in embarrassment and fled like a savage beast.
Half a month later, Nan Xian, who had been drinking the dark concoction for many days, was finally told by Dr. Wu that she could get out of bed and walk around.
Si Xiao had completely disappeared from her in the past half month. She could only know from Qixi that he often met Xi Jin in the lotus pond. After Xi Jin gave him the lotus pods, he gave him a wooden hairpin carved by his own hands.
It was broken off by the villain and thrown up onto the roof.
The emperor was assassinated. Although he was exempted from going to court, the memorials were still delivered at dawn and dusk. The courtiers seemed to be afraid that the emperor would forget about him, so they were more diligent than others in delivering the memorials, especially the admonishers, the sons of such and such ministers.
If you have a tryst with the daughter of a certain minister, you have to participate in a lax family management, which is disgraceful to the family tradition.
Since the ministers were so idle, Nan Xian naturally didn't mind finding something to do for them. Quan Dongyao from the Ministry of Life and Punishment, Dali Temple and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division searched for the assassin.
"Xiao Liangzi, go to the lotus pond."
After searching for so long, although the assassin was still not found, the mastermind behind the scenes was in the palace. The hardship she had endured for more than half a month could not be in vain, not to mention that she had not seen Si Xiao for so long and had to brush up on her presence.
, let him remember that he is a "married woman".
The Royal Garden is full of flowers, and the fragrance fills your nostrils as you walk there.
The lotus pond is to the east of the Imperial Garden.
The late empress loved lotuses, and the late emperor spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a lotus pond in the palace. The lotus flowers in the pond remained unbeaten all year round. In the hot summer, the lotus leaves were green and the red lotuses were in full bloom. The scenery was so beautiful.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Seeing Nan Xian suddenly walking towards the lotus pond, Concubine Shu hurriedly walked out from behind the blooming flower tree. After a period of cultivation, some color returned to her haggard face.
Wow, there is actually a lookout.
This Xi Jin's methods are indeed brilliant, and he can actually train the arrogant Concubine Shu to be so obedient. The two of them have been cheated on countless times in the plot, and Concubine Shu can actually endure the heartache as she watches Xi Jin and Si Xiao flirt with each other.
"I'm walking around." Nan Xian raised her eyebrows: "Why is my concubine here too?" He glanced behind her, "It's such a hot day, why doesn't my concubine bring a few palace servants to serve her?"
Concubine Shu tried her best to suppress her panic, and forced out a wry smile: "I also went out for a walk at will, so I didn't bring anyone with me."
Nan Xian raised his eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth with unknown meaning: "My beloved concubine, are you still blaming me for not being merciful and letting Crown Prince Xin Guo go?"
"I don't dare," Concubine Shu said with a flash of hatred in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her eyelids to cover it up, "It's my brother who is confused. Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he wants to make the country the greatest."
"As long as your beloved understands me," Nan Xian walked past her and started to move forward.
Imperial Concubine Shu took two steps forward to block her. When she met Nan Xian's cold gaze, her heart trembled, but she still said bravely: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you go to my concubine Shu?"
Sit in the Heart Palace?"
Nan Xian's eyes half-squinted and fell on Concubine Shu.
Xiao Liangzi looked at this delicate atmosphere and confirmed that Concubine Shu was definitely out of favor.
Concubine Shu was trembling with fear as she was being looked at. Just when she didn't know what to do, a rapid cough broke into her ears, and two tall figures walked out from the corner of the lotus pond.
Walking in front was Si Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for many days. Today he was wearing a crescent-shaped phoenix tail skirt with a jade hairpin inserted at an angle. His face was indistinguishable from male to female, but he looked enchanting even though he had not applied any makeup.
Young Master Xi Jin, who was one step behind, was a little different from Nan Xian's imagination. The sixth prince of Northern Qi, who was full of tricks in his previous life and finally forced the original owner and Si Xiao to death, turned out to be just a frail and beautiful young man who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Xi Jin, I have met the emperor." The beautiful young man saluted and coughed violently again, as if his lungs were about to come out of his throat.
