Walking along the palace corridor, Ke'er's thoughts were spinning in thousands of ways, and her heart felt heavy, as if it was being pressed down by a huge boulder. Even her breathing felt heavy.【】
In her mind, the scene where Ao Chenye asked her to leave just now was replayed over and over again. His serious tone, which was clearly ordering her, was something she had never seen before...cold.
He was so cold... that she suddenly felt that he was strange.
Mingming was so affectionate to her before dinner in the morning, so...feeling doting on her, but as soon as she turned around, she turned into a high and mighty king.
It is said that women's hearts are as deep as the bottom of the sea, but now she feels that men's hearts are even worse!
Since he only cares about his country, elders and concubines, why should she... care about him so much!
Yes, why should she care about him? She is just a passerby in this time and space. She is leaving anyway, so why should the elder and Concubine Xun be allowed to use it as an excuse?
In this ancient and backward place, she is not even willing to pay her to stay!
Thinking this way, her depressed mood gradually relaxed.
At this moment, breathing is no longer heavy and difficult, and my brain has regained its flexibility.
As she walked, she secretly turned her head——
When Ao Chenye asked her to leave, she just left obediently. That was too out of character.
Moreover, why should she hide like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law and let them make irresponsible remarks behind her back to decide whether to stay or go?
She wanted to see what they were going to do with a mortal like her!
With her mind determined, she suddenly stopped moving forward, and at the same time bent down suddenly, pretending to moan in pain: "Ouch! It hurts!"
Cui'er also stopped immediately, reached out to support her, and asked nervously: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt?"
"Stomach...stomach hurts, oops! It hurts so much, I can't stand it anymore, I can't walk anymore, oops!" Ke'er screamed in pain, while letting her body limply lean towards the pillars of the palace corridor, leaning against the pillars of the palace corridor.
With support, Cui Er weakly leaned against the pillar, her brows furrowed tightly and her eyes wrinkled into a line, showing that she was in unbearable pain.
Seeing that she could hardly bear the pain, Cui'er was so anxious that she was tongue-tied even when she spoke: "I... I'll call the imperial doctor! Miss, you must... you must hold on, this slave is very nervous."
Hurry...be back soon!"
Bingo! Successfully got rid of Tweety!
Ke'er secretly cheered for the success of her disguise, and then continued to moan to Tweety in pain and out of breath: "Okay... okay, you have to hurry up... come back quickly
,I'm waiting for you."
"Yeah!" Cui'er didn't doubt that he was there, and immediately ran away to find the imperial doctor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her figure turned a corner, Ke'er immediately regained her vitality from her sick and limp state. She straightened up and stood up, her eyebrows filled with cunning joy.
"It's so easy to deceive." She tiptoed and explored the corner to make sure that Tweety had completely left, then she stuck out her tongue.
Then, she jumped up and down like a little rabbit and ran quickly in the direction opposite to Tweety!
He asked her to leave, but she insisted on going back!
…
In the court hall.
Ao Chenye sat high in the throne on the steps. The jade-carved dragon chair faintly revealed a noble and bright jade light. The handle of the dragon chair was carved with a lifelike dragon. The dragon's eyes looked down at the people below the steps majestically.
, that immobile and powerful momentum, just like Ao Chenye's unfathomable silence at this moment, is intimidating.
For a time, the atmosphere was stagnant in silence.
Ao Chenye said nothing, but quietly scanned the elder and Concubine Xun below with a pair of sharp black eyes.
Dequan, on the other hand, waited quietly on the side.
Concubine Xun secretly looked at Dequan and saw that he was standing significantly closer to Ao Chenye than usual. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little panicked.
Did Dequan tell Ao Chenye everything about the elder she asked Dequan to find?
When she felt uneasy, she secretly looked at Ao Chenye again.
Unexpectedly, he happened to look at her again at this time. The moment their eyes met, Concubine Xun was shocked, and was shocked by the deep look in his eyes that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
His eyes seemed to have completely grasped all her secrets, which made her tremble with fear.
Fortunately, at this moment, the elder finally lost his composure and spoke first: "Wang, what are your plans for Miss Ke'er?"
After hearing this, Ao Chenye took his eyes away from Concubine Xun, but before that, he deliberately raised his thin lips sarcastically at Concubine Xun. When he saw her looking away in panic, the corners of his lips curled up.
The arc is even wider.
Then, he responded to the elder calmly and wisely: "Elder, although you have always said that Ke'er is not of my race and will bring harm to our Tenglong Kingdom, but don't you think you are putting the cart before the horse now? Now His Highness the Second Highness of the Fulong Kingdom
Xing Mo is committing crimes in our country, and the enemy is in front of us, but the elder puts his thoughts on a mortal who has no power to restrain a chicken. He is really worried about the country and the people, huh?"
At the end, his sarcasm was obvious.
Hearing Ao Chenye speak like this, the elder was shocked.
The king had never spoken to him so sarcastically...
It took a while for the elder to recover from the unexpected shock.
It seems that Wang is really angry because of Ke'er this time.
The worry in his heart deepened, and the elder's eyebrows became serious.
He eagerly took a step forward and expressed his opinion: "Wang, I think the matter of Xing Mo entering the palace to assassinate is a big or small matter. Concubine Xun has already asked the whole story from her maid. The reason why Wan'er followed Xing Mo is
The purpose of joining forces is actually to get rid of Miss Ke'er so that the king will not be harmed by her in the future. As long as Miss Ke'er leaves, everything will calm down."
Concubine Xun nodded in agreement, expressing her innocence eagerly: "Yes, King, please be aware! All these disasters happened only because of Bai Ke'er..."
"Shut up!" Ao Chenye interrupted her coldly and gave her a warning look.
Then, he turned his cold gaze to the elder again, his handsome face stained with disappointment: "Elder, I thought you could provide such profound insights. It seems that you have been blinded by the past.
"
The elder felt a little hurt by Ao Chenye's repeated sarcasm: "King, what you said... I am willing to listen to the king's lesson."
He was a little anxious at first, but quickly swallowed up all his arguments under Ao Chenye's wise and commanding gaze.
Ao Chenye stood up and looked at Dequan first, then at Concubine Xun who was obviously guilty, and then at the elder.
"Elder, think about it, why did Concubine Xun secretly send Dequan to ask you to meet her alone, but then hit Ke'er when you were about to arrive? Didn't she show it off and show it to you? She thought she
Beating Ke'er can prove to you that she has always been on Qingjun's side? Humph! Elder, why don't you ask her, when did she know that Ke'er was a mortal? Was it the first time she sent someone to assassinate Ke'er?
Did you know it at that time? Then why didn't she tell you before and didn't come to you until something happened? "
Listening to Ao Chenye peeling away her many flaws layer by layer, Concubine Xun became anxious: "Wang, I am my concubine because..."
Ao Chenye glanced away, his aura so fierce that no one could resist.
"I haven't asked you to speak yet, wait a minute...I will let you speak!"
Under his irresistible majesty, Concubine Xun's mouth opened and closed, but she did not dare to speak anymore, but her heart became even more panicked for his last words.
What exactly did he want her to say?
Easily seeing through the panic that she tried so hard to conceal but couldn't, Ao Chenye gave her another unfathomable look that made her whole body run cold.
No longer paying attention to her, Ao Chenye returned his gaze to the elder.
Seeing the elder's face as if he had some understanding after thinking about it, he continued: "Elder, do you still feel that Ke'er is the biggest threat at the moment? Or do you think... Xing Mo, the expelled Second Highness of the Fulong Kingdom, has been with me...
Does Concubine Xun, who has some dealings with her, threaten me even more?"
The elder hesitated a little. He looked at Concubine Xun exploratoryly, and saw that she was just looking back at him calmly. He hesitated a little. It should be said that he couldn't believe that Concubine Xun, who had always followed the rules, would collude with outsiders to murder the Tenglong Kingdom.
So, he couldn't help but ask -
"Wang, but Concubine Xun may not be colluding with outsiders together with Wan'er. Last night, Concubine Xun was poisoned by Wan'er and almost died. Wang, you saved Concubine Xun, didn't you?"
No one would play with their own lives.
Ao Chenye narrowed his eyes, and a faint sigh passed through his eyes without any trace.
"Elder, you have underestimated the ruthlessness of a woman. She will do anything to get rid of her opponent. Wasn't the tragedy of the Tenglong Kingdom caused by a ruthless woman?"
He was talking about Ao Chenxiao’s mother!
The elder was shocked, and his expression began to waver.
Ao Chenye then continued his efforts: "Elder, think about it again, if Concubine Xun was not involved in the collusion, how could Wan'er, a maid, be able to let outsiders into the palace again and again? Could it be that I, the bodyguard of Tenglong Kingdom
Are you afraid of a maid?! Concubine Xun, what are your intentions in colluding with foreigners to disrupt the palace?!"
Having said this, he no longer concealed his anger and glanced straight at Concubine Xun. The anger in his eyes already showed that... he would convict her!
The elder sighed heavily: "Concubine Xun, you...sigh..."
He wanted to scold her, but thinking that he had been deceived by her, he felt ashamed and did not continue.
The elder's sigh made Concubine Xun completely panic.
She shook her head a little hysterically and took a few steps back with some staggering steps.
"Elder, you have to believe me. I really have no intentions, let alone collusion with foreign enemies. All of this was done by Wan'er, and it really has nothing to do with me. Elder... If you don't believe me, you can ask my dad. My dad will definitely
You will believe me!"
In a panic, she brought out her respected father again in an attempt to regain the elder's trust.
