Xuanyuan Qilin put down his teacup and walked up to Su Yueming. Su Yueming grabbed the lapels of his clothes at a loss.
The reason why she chose Xuanyuan Qilin as the first pawn on her road to revenge was because her father, Prime Minister Su Buqing's sister, Su Yueming's eldest aunt, was the current concubine Zhen, the mother-in-law of Zhenfei and Xuanyuan Qilin.
Concubine Rong has always been incompatible with each other in competing for the emperor's favor. As Concubine Zhen's mother's family, Prime Minister Su Buqing is naturally a powerful figure in Concubine Zhen's faction, so Concubine Rong and Xuanyuan Qilin have always regarded Su Buqing as a thorn in their side.
There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
"Raise your head." Xuanyuan Qilin raised his palace fan and ordered.
"Your Majesty..." Su Yueming slowly raised her head and looked at him timidly. When she saw Xuanyuan Qilin's eyes, she took a step back.
"Are you really the daughter of Prime Minister Su?" Xuanyuan Qilin looked at the thin person in front of him. She looked disheveled and as timid as a mouse. She had no trace of the sinister old thief Su Buqing.
"Yes, yes." Su Yueming's voice was as thin as a mosquito's cry.
"Your name?" Xuanyuan Qilin asked.
"Your Majesty, my name is Su Yueming."
"Su Yueming?" Xuanyuan Qilin chewed her name thoughtfully, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, "Miss Ziyuan, please go down, I want to have a few words with the prime minister's daughter alone.
"This..." Liu Piao'er glanced at Su Yueming before retreating with Bi'er. Only Xuanyuan Qilin and Su Yueming were left in the room.
Su Yueming knew that Xuanyuan Qilin was appraising her with a scrutinizing gaze, so she lowered her head and said nothing, waiting patiently for the other party to speak.
"Look at me." Xuanyuan Qilin spoke.
Su Yueming slowly raised her head, and Xuanyuan Qilin looked at her carefully again——
She was wearing low-quality plain clothes. She probably suffered from long-term malnutrition. Her face was very small and thin, especially the hands at the cuffs, which could be said to be skinny. However, the dark eyes on her face had a strange feeling that could not be concealed.
The whole person is like a combination of contradictions.
She was clearly the woman dancing on the stage. That indifferent and cold look was hers and could not be deceived. Why did she deliberately pretend to be so weak in front of him?
Haha, the corners of Xuanyuan Qilin's lips slowly rose. That's interesting. This child is really interesting. He didn't hesitate to lure him here. He couldn't help but have a curiosity in his heart that he wanted to find out, but on the surface he still didn't reveal anything.
.
"Want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" he asked.
"Is it okay?" Su Yueming asked timidly. Seeing her timid and frightened look, Xuanyuan Qilin had another illusion, as if the weak and weak talent in front of him had no offensive power, and people couldn't help but pity her.
It was the real her, and his interpretation just now was wrong.
This child could actually mess up his soul, so he should get to know her better and more deeply.

Xuanyuan Qilin did not spend the night in the Fireworks Building. Su Yueming was not surprised when Liu Piao'er said that he had rushed back to the capital overnight. Xuanyuan Qilin should be rushing back to the palace to inform him about the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion living in a brothel.
Her mother, Concubine Rong, asked her to testify before the emperor about Su Buqing's crime of abusing a concubine.
Maybe Xuanyuan Qilin has already seen that she is the real Ziyuan, maybe he has not seen it at all, but that is not important. What is important is that she must return to that world as soon as possible to live in exile for her son who died tragically.
