Looking at Mo'er's back that quickly disappeared into the darkness, Sixi smiled and shook his head. Even he himself felt very strange, how could he be so close to this little girl, and even have the slightest idea of marrying her.
Maybe, this is the so-called fate. But just think about this kind of thing, don't take it too seriously, otherwise it will only lead to disaster.
Si Xi turned around and walked to the Yangxin Hall. He had been out for a long time. If he didn't go back quickly, if the emperor asked, it would be difficult to answer. After all, the imperial kitchen was only a short distance away, and it wouldn't take much time to go back and forth.
Si Xi had just walked a few steps when he saw two figures standing faintly in front of him. At first, he thought they were palace people elsewhere, but then he found that the two figures were standing motionless. The strangest thing was that he was actually looking at
Does that figure look familiar? Unfortunately, the night is too dark, and from such a distance of more than ten feet, it is impossible to see the face clearly.
"Who is there?" Sixi walked over holding the palace lantern in her hand. When they were only half a foot away, the light from the palace lantern finally illuminated the faces of the two people.
"Ah!" As soon as he saw it clearly, Sixi couldn't help but exclaimed. The palace lantern in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. The candle inside fell over, burning the lampshade, and orange-red flames appeared. The burning of the palace lantern made this person
One place is brightly lit.
"This servant is here to greet you, Your Majesty. Good luck to you!" Sixi knelt down to greet him tremblingly. The people standing behind him were none other than Yinzhen and Su Peisheng.
"Didn't you go to the imperial dining room?" Yinzhen asked expressionlessly in the darkness.
Sixi knew she couldn't hide it, so she quickly kowtowed and apologized, "I deserve to die! I deserve to die! I beg the emperor to forgive me. I didn't mean to hide it."
"Are those snacks sent by Concubine Xi?" Yinzhen's voice was as cold as the crescent moon in the sky. He listened to the conversation between Sixi and Mo'er just now without saying a word, and Sixi came here for no reason.
Here, a little guessing will give you the answer.
Si Xi said bravely: "Yes, Concubine Xi knew that the emperor was busy with state affairs a while ago and often skipped meals. She was worried that the emperor would hurt his stomach, so she sent some snacks to the Nourishing Heart Hall every day. She was afraid that the emperor would not eat them, so she
Let the slave pretend that it was sent from the imperial kitchen."
A hint of complexity that no one had seen passed through Yinzhen's eyes, and his voice was as cold as before, "Sixi, you have been with me for a few years, you should know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is."
Si Xi was shocked and turned pale, kowtowing repeatedly, "I asked the Emperor to forgive me. I didn't mean to do it. It was just that Concubine Xi repeatedly begged me and I couldn't resist, so I had no choice but to agree."
Su Peisheng stood silently behind Yinzhen. Whether it was Sixi's pleading or Yinzhen's scolding, he didn't say a word, only a clay statue of Bodhisattva.
"So, are you admitting that you knowingly committed the crime?" Yinzhen was not prepared to let him go so easily. His voice became colder and colder, making Sixi not even dare to beg for mercy. He just knelt down in fear and waited uneasily.
Yinzhen fell.
But after waiting like this, there was no sound, only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the woods. Such silence made Sixi even more uneasy. After an unknown period of time, Yinzhen finally spoke again, "Have you met Concubine Xi?"
, what did she say?”
Si Xi was startled, why did the topic suddenly turn to that topic? She was surprised in her heart, but she was not slow to speak. She quickly said: "Returning to the emperor, Concubine Xi learned that the emperor wanted to eat snacks, and she had already done it. She said it was too much.
It will be delivered shortly."
As his voice fell, the surroundings became silent again. Even a palace official walking by not far away did not notice anyone standing here.
Si Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to grit her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. Concubine Xi really cares about the Emperor. She has personally made snacks for the Emperor every day for so many days."
As Si Xi, he shouldn't say this, but he felt that Concubine Xi was really pitiful, so he risked being punished and said it.
"You are indeed talking too much!" Yinzhen lowered his eyes, and his cold gaze fell on Sixi across the night. He couldn't help but shudder, and he felt a little regretful, wondering if he was too bold.
Just when Si Xi thought he would be punished, Yinzhen suddenly said: "No one is allowed to say anything about my coming here. If anything leaks out, the old and new accounts will be settled together."
"I don't dare." Si Xi quickly agreed. When he looked up, he found that Yinzhen had already led Su Peisheng a certain distance away. Because Yinzhen didn't ask him to get up, he was hesitating whether to follow or continue to kneel.
, Yinzhen had already stopped, half turned his head and said coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and get over here."
Si Xi was overjoyed, knowing that he was in danger this time. He quickly agreed and followed Su Peisheng behind Yinzhen, taking two steps at a time.
Neither Sixi nor Su Peisheng saw the complexity and... entanglement on Yinzhen's face.
When Yinzhen ate dim sum for the first time, he already felt that it was not like the ones made by the imperial dining room. He had eaten the dim sum there before, and it was not like this. But Si Xi insisted that it was made by the imperial dining room, and he didn't
After further trouble, I just said that there was a different chef.
To this day, he didn't see any snacks until the evening. When asked about Si Xi, he was a little squeaky and couldn't help but become suspicious. When Si Xi said he was going to the imperial dining room, he secretly followed him out, which made him extremely suspicious.
Unexpectedly, Sixi actually came to Chengqian Palace, which he had deliberately neglected for a long time.
Could it be that Ling Ruo made the dim sum? If it was really her, why didn't she send it in directly, but under the guise of the imperial dining room?
He forgot that he had given an order not to allow Ling Ruo to enter the Cultivation Heart Hall, nor to send anything related to her in. It was not until he heard the conversation between Si Xi and Mo'er that he suddenly remembered it.
Ling Ruo... Every time he thought of these two words, he couldn't calm down. Except for those days when he was so busy that he fell asleep, this name would appear in his mind from time to time, lingering.
He wants to see her, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart. As a nine-five-year-old man, what kind of woman does he want? Since Niu Hulu Lingruo doesn't care about him so much, why should he bother to show her kindness?
She relied on pampering to become arrogant and became even more aggressive in the future.
Both Ruqing and Jiahui are more sensible than her, so let her stay in the palace to reflect and wait until she regrets it.
When they were approaching Yangxin Hall, Sixi suddenly remembered something and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want the snacks sent by Chengqian Palace?"
No! Just as Yinzhen was about to say these two words, he suddenly felt a sense of reluctance in his heart and said instead: "You just don't know what to do, so take it in anyway."
"Hey!" Sixi lowered her head and agreed, but she was quite strange in her heart. The emperor already knew that the snacks were sent by Concubine Xi, so why did he still send them in? Doesn't the emperor dislike Concubine Xi very much?
The emperor's thoughts are really difficult to fathom!
