Chapter 49: They should become enemies, right?

Xiao Mingxuan looked at the little girl's bright smile, stood there in a daze for a moment, and was speechless for a long time.

Before he could react, he felt a hint of warmth on his cheek.

When their eyes met, Xiao Mingxuan was lost in thought.

"Little brother, don't say that next time." The little girl had a sweet smile on her face. "You're worth the risk, and we'll spend a long, long time together in this New Year! Make a promise!"

The little girl ran back to Vanity Palace.

Someone you love very much?

Is it worth it?

He knew from birth that he was just an accident, and no one would treat him well except his mother. Later, his mother passed away, and the only person who loved him in the Beili Palace also left.

In the mouths of that group of people, he is a lowly creature, a waste, a pitiful creature who can be bullied by everyone, and he only deserves the lowest things in the world.

Xiao Mingxuan laughed and returned the same way he came.

He has to protect his little Xier.

lifetime.

As soon as Xiao Mingxuan reached the door, he felt a strange smell in the room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the masked man playing with a medicine bottle.

"Put it down! That's not yours!" Xiao Mingxuan said sternly.

The masked man chuckled frivolously, but didn't put down the medicine bottle. Instead, he examined it more carefully. "Just a look, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Mingxuan walked over, snatched the medicine bottle without saying a word, and hid it in his sleeve, "I told you not to touch my things, or get out!"

"You're quite arrogant." The masked man chuckled and waved his hand, not wanting to argue. "You were actually hurt by Nanli's bunch of good-for-nothings. You're truly useless."

The masked man's words were full of contempt.

Xiao Mingxuan glanced at him coldly and looked away, "If you don't like it, you can get out."

The masked man laughed even louder. "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being the wolf cub I have my eyes on."

He lowered his voice, which instead added a touch of tender charm. "Xiao Mingxuan, you have seen my sincerity. What do you think?"

Three days ago, the masked man sneaked into the palace quietly and then entered the Mingyue Palace, talking about forming an alliance.

Xiao Mingxuan naturally had no doubt about the ability of the person in front of him.

He asked, "Why me? I'm just a kid."

He is just a powerless hostage. No matter what that person's purpose is, he should not choose him. It would only bring trouble to himself.

The masked man poured a cup of tea and drank it all. He stroked the rim of the cup and smiled, "Kid? Which kid can get help from the Seven Killing Pavilion? Hmm?"

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He hesitated in his heart whether to kill the man in front of him.

"Calm down!" The masked man sneered, "What the hell is the Seven Killing Pavilion? If you really need a lot of power, you can cooperate with me. I am not comparable to the Seven Killing Pavilion."

The masked man never revealed his identity, so he must have had doubts, but judging from his tone, he was no small figure.

Xiao Mingxuan didn't say anything, his left hand tightly holding the dagger hidden under the edge of the bed.

After a moment, he said, "More than that."

He looked up, his eyes surprisingly bright, "If you want me to be this puppet, there must be something to restrain me, otherwise you won't be at ease."

The masked man looked at Xiao Mingxuan with a gloomy expression, and a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes.

"Of course there's more," the masked man admitted generously, then changed his tone to something more profound, "What if we add the little princess?"

"Just try and touch her if you dare!" Xiao Mingxuan's eyes flashed with ferocity.

"Calm down." The masked man's deep aura suddenly dissipated, and he leaned lazily. "After all, I still need her to restrain you."

At first, the masked man was not at ease with Xiao Mingxuan.

After all, he was a man who was indifferent to all living beings. Apart from the early deceased Queen Beili, he didn't care about anyone at all.

It is difficult to control without weaknesses.

Who could have thought that Princess Zhao Yuan would appear halfway through.

Xiao Mingxuan still had a look of hesitation on his face, and the masked man saw this and added fuel to the fire. "That 'rebirth' thing only works for three years at most. Have you thought about what happens after that? The little princess is not stupid. What will she do when faced with someone like you who killed his father, brother, and destroyed his homeland?"

The masked man continued, his words adding a touch of eeriness and terror, "They will... probably become enemies, right? What do you think, Ninth Prince?"

I don’t know when the wind and snow outside stopped, but the cold wind is still freezing.

Xiao Mingxuan gathered his sleeves, and his dark eyes appeared even deeper under the flickering candlelight.

The masked man struck the snake at its most vulnerable spot, seizing Xiao Mingxuan's only weakness.

The future he talked about was also what he feared the most.

He had no choice.

After a moment, he said, "Deal."

As soon as Xihe entered the Fuhua Palace, he was caught and spanked by Emperor Jingyuan.

She was the first to be beaten in the new year.

"Daddy! What are you doing? Hitting me again!"

As soon as Emperor Jingyuan let go, Xihe quickly crawled into the arms of Concubine Chen, her words full of accusations, "Mother, look at Daddy!"

Concubine Chen covered her lips and smiled, "You two can solve it yourselves. I won't help you."

Xihe suddenly wilted, looking at Emperor Jingyuan with tears in her eyes and full of grievance.

"Keep pretending!" Emperor Jingyuan was almost mad at this heartless little fellow.

After he finished dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty, he hurried to the Fuhua Palace, but the little girl ran to the Mingyue Palace.

The golden-edged cabbage he had worked so hard to grow had grown legs and run away! !

The little girl immediately admitted her mistake and said, "Daddy, I was wrong."

Emperor Jingyuan gulped down a cup of tea and glanced at it indifferently, "What's wrong?"

The little girl lowered her head and whispered, "Daddy, I shouldn't have come back so late."

"Oh, so you know I'm your father." Emperor Jingyuan said calmly, his face expressionless, "I thought he was your father."

Xihe: "..."

That's not necessary.

The little girl was about to cry, and quickly asked Zhao Chengning for help.

Big brother! Save me!

Zhao Chengning rarely saw his own female hero being so humble. His shoulders trembled slightly, and it was extremely difficult to hold back his laughter, but he still spoke up to help, "Sister, you're back so late, is there something wrong again?"

Xihe quickly climbed up the pole and said, "Daddy, I didn't mean to come back late. I suddenly felt dizzy and fell asleep at my brother's place. That's why I'm late. Xihe didn't mean it. Daddy, please forgive me."

"Ah? Sick?" Emperor Jingyuan's strict father suddenly couldn't pretend anymore and broke down in a second, "Sanping, call the imperial physician!"

Concubine Chen, who had been watching the show with a smile on her face, changed her expression upon hearing this. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Xihe's face was indeed paler than when she had been in Qianyuan Hall.

"What's wrong? You're still fine in Qianyuan Palace?"

Concubine Chen loved her daughter so much that she ignored Emperor Jingyuan and directly hugged her precious daughter in her arms, asking repeatedly.
