Chapter 539 A Good Show (Part 2)

Among the five brothers and sisters, the one that Pei Qianhuo is most wary of is Fang Laogou.

Don't be fooled by Fang Laogou's kind and gentle appearance, which makes him look like a very reliable elder brother. In fact, when it comes to playing with people's hearts, he is definitely an expert.

When the master taught the lesson of mind reading, Fang Laogou learned the best. Even the master said that he was better than the master.

Pei Qianhuo couldn't help but ask, "Have you met Fang Laogou?"

Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.

Pei Qianhuo sighed: "You shouldn't have seen him."

Xiao Xixi was puzzled: "Why?"

Pei Qianhuo: "Once you meet him, you will be influenced by him unconsciously and become a pawn in his hands. The best way to deal with Fang Laogou is to not meet him, ignore him, and keep your distance from him."

Xiao Xixi blinked: "We just chatted for a few minutes, he didn't do anything to me."

Pei Qianhuo looked at her with sympathy: "The most brilliant thing about Fang Laogou is that he has clearly planted psychological hints in you, but you still think he did nothing."

Xiao Xixi wanted to ask again.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

There was a questioning voice outside.

"Who's in there?"

Pei Qianhuo pinched his throat and said, "It's me, Que Xian'er, I'm resting here."

Quexianer was the name Pei Qianhuo pretended to be. This name was quite famous in the opera troupe and many people knew him.

The man outside immediately became more respectful.

"Oh, it's you. We need to come in to get something. Could you please open the door for us?"

Pei Qianhuo glanced at Xiao Xixi beside him.

Xiao Xixi opened a cabinet next to her, lifted her skirt and went in, then closed the lid.

After she hid herself, Pei Qianhuo went forward to open the door.

Xiao Xixi could not see anything while hiding in the closet. She could only hear the sound of doors opening and footsteps outside, as well as the voices of others greeting Pei Qianhuo.

After the sound of moving things, the house returned to silence.

Xiao Xixi carefully opened the cabinet a crack and saw that there was no one outside.

Not only did the people who came to move things disappear, but Pei Qianhuo also left.

The candles were also extinguished.

The room was very dark at this time and she was the only one left.

She pushed open the lid and had just stepped out when she heard footsteps outside again.

The footsteps stopped at the door.

Xiao Xixi's heart tightened, and she quickly retracted her foot and shrank back into the box.

Almost at the moment the lid of the box was closed, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.

Xiao Xixi could not see anything in the narrow and dark box where she was. She could only hear the slight sounds of the door opening and closing, and the footsteps that were gradually becoming clearer.

Judging from the footsteps, two people should have entered the room.

And the two men were standing right next to the box.

Xiao Xixi didn't dare to move, for fear that someone would discover that there was a person hiding in the box.

After a moment of silence, she heard a familiar male voice outside.

"I've checked, there's no one else here."

Xiao Xixi was shocked. She remembered this voice. It was King Xiling!

Why is he here?

Then, another familiar female voice sounded.

"Why did you call me here?"

If Xiao Xixi was just surprised just now, now she is completely frightened!

This woman turned out to be Queen Qin!

What were Queen Qin and Prince Xiling doing in this little room?

Shouldn't they be in the front watching the show with the Queen Mother?

The dim room was filled with costumes and props, looking messy and ridiculous.

Prince Xiling stared at the woman in front of him with a deep gaze that seemed to contain countless emotions.

After a long while, he spoke softly.

"I missed you so much."

Queen Qin avoided his sight, turned sideways, her eyes fell on the candlelight, and said lightly: "I am now the queen, and you have married another woman. You shouldn't say such things to me."

King Xiling frowned, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"It was obviously me who knew you first. If the Qin family hadn't insisted on sending you to the palace, you should have been my princess!

As for why I later married someone else, other people don’t know about this, but don’t you know it?

The emperor has always been suspicious. He has always suspected that there is a secret relationship between you and me. He even thought of using this as an excuse to openly depose you from your position as queen.

I can't let him succeed. If I want to protect your reputation, I have to marry another woman.

From the beginning to the end, you are the only woman in my heart."

When he said this, he couldn't help but take a step forward and hold Queen Qin's hand.

Queen Qin's body stiffened.

She instinctively wanted to shake his hand off.

However, King Xiling held her hand even tighter.

He stared at the woman in front of him, his voice low, like pleading, or like the whispers of lovers.

"Kun, stop hiding from me, okay?"

Hearing this familiar name, Queen Qin felt her heart warm, her eyes a little sore, and she had an urge to cry.

Her name is Rong Jun.

Before she got married, everyone in her family called her by her given name.

After getting married, she became the queen and the mother of the country, so naturally no one dared to call her by her name.

The only person who is qualified to call her by her name is the Emperor.

But the emperor was unwilling to even look at her for one more second, so how could he call her by her maiden name affectionately?

From the beginning to the end, only King Xiling would call her by her name.

Queen Qin lowered her eyes and looked at the hand that was tightly holding hers.

When she was young, she had developed a crush on this man.

Unfortunately, before the love could take root and sprout, it was rudely cut off.

She was sent into the palace by her family and married to the emperor.

She was also very upset at first, but as time went by, she became indifferent to it.

Not all love in this world will bear fruit, it is rare to meet someone.

She began to accept her fate as queen, concentrating on planning for her family, and gradually erased him from her heart.

I thought the two would never meet again, but I didn't expect that he would come back nineteen years later.

Queen Qin asked softly, "Why did you come back?"

Prince Xiling looked into her eyes and said seriously, "The reason why I left Shengjing was to avoid putting you in trouble. Now that I'm back, it's also for you. My feelings for you have never changed in the past 19 years."

Any woman who hears this affectionate confession will be moved.

Queen Qin was no exception.

She turned her head and met King Xiling's gaze.

"I am no longer the young and fresh girl I was back then. I am older now, I am married, I have had a miscarriage, and I can't even have children anymore..."

When King Xiling heard the last sentence, his expression changed drastically.

"How come you can't have children? Did someone do something to you?"

Queen Qin said indifferently: "Someone doesn't want me to give birth to a legitimate son."

Prince Xiling understood instantly and said angrily: "It was the emperor who did it, right? It must be him, only he can do such a cruel thing!"
