Chapter 129: Dark and Windy Night, Time of Murder and Arson



"The palace maids also said that there was revelry every night in Qinghua Palace..."

Chu Huaize's voice became lower and lower, until it was impossible to hear what he said.

If the two of them were not close to each other, Li Shengyi could only guess what he said based on his lip movements.

When she heard the words 'party every night', the corner of her eye twitched violently.

I silently felt that Su Jinrou was worthy of being the heroine, and she had the aura of a heroine. No matter what happened, she and the baby in her belly could live in peace.

Unlike other people, a miscarriage can be fatal.

"What about the fifth prince?"

Suppressing the urge in her heart, she changed the question.

Chu Huaize didn't have a good impression of Chu Huaifeng.

In Chu Huaize's eyes, the fifth prince's mother was a palace maid who was not worthy of being on the stage, but he was born because of his father's favor after drinking.

Every time he met Chu Huaifeng face to face, even though the latter always had a smile on his face, that smile never reached his eyes, which made people shudder.

In addition, Chu Huaifeng is a cowardly person, and any little thing can make him frightened and shrink his neck.

Chu Huaize was ashamed to have such an imperial brother.

Hearing Li Shengyi mention Chu Huaifeng, he frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister, why are you mentioning him? He is not a good person."

Chu Huaize's cheek was pinched, and he heard the voice of the person in front of him. "I know he is not a good person. Do you know if he has been to Qinghua Palace recently?"

Chu Huaize shook his head. "I don't know. I can't control where he goes, but he went to Qinghua Palace to do..."

He had just said half of "what are you doing" when Chu Huaize, who was only four years old and had long been accustomed to the open and secret struggles in the palace, suddenly widened his eyes.

His throat tightened and a gust of cold wind blew across his face, making him shiver.

Unable to believe what he was thinking, he reached out and grabbed Li Shengyi's sleeve, "Sister, things are not what I thought, right?"

Li Shengyi didn't answer, but continued to ask him, "My father has been arrested and imprisoned. His Majesty should be busy. He probably won't go to Qinghua Palace again, right?"

Chu Huaize was usually fully scheduled with his schoolwork. Anything that happened in the palace he could only hear from the palace servants around him, or at worst, from Eunuch Fu Hai.

Will the Emperor go to Qinghua Palace tonight...

He turned around and looked at Eunuch Fu Hai who was standing behind him.

The palace maids at the palace gate were dispersed by Eunuch Fu Hai early in the morning.

At this moment, only Li Shengyi and four others were left inside the palace.

The conversation between the two children was heard by Grandpa Fu Hai.

Seeing both children turning their heads to look at him, Grandpa Fu Hai raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and it was a long while before he spoke.

"Your Majesty has not turned over a card tonight."

In fact, there is no need to flip the cards.

There hadn't been a new prince or princess born in the palace for four years. Now that Su Jinrou was pregnant, Chu Hong naturally refused to go anywhere. If he was asked to turn over the card, he would just throw it away and head towards Qinghua Palace.

Although this was against the rules, he was the emperor and no one dared to tell him that it was wrong not to treat everyone equally.

Although flipping the cards was just a formality, Chu Hong was indeed an emperor with principles.

He would not go to any concubine's bedroom without flipping the card.

When Li Shengyi heard that Chu Hong would not go to Qinghua Palace tonight, his almond-shaped eyes kept rolling around.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she hooked her finger at the little snowball in front of her, "Twelfth Prince, come..."

Grandpa Fu Hai watched the two children whispering in front of him, but did not dare to step forward to stop them.

He was afraid that if he said a few more words, the young prince would be unhappy.

What's more, Miss Shengyi is a person who knows how to act in moderation.

However, he didn't know that what the two of them were discussing at the moment was something he dared not even think about.

When Li Shengyi finished speaking, Chu Huaize opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Li Shengyi nodded heavily, "If you don't believe me, Twelfth Prince, just come with me tonight."

"It's still early, let's go have dinner first."

She raised her hand and rubbed her belly, and quite fittingly, her stomach growled.

Li Shengyi, who had never lost her composure in front of others, blushed.

Ignoring the smile the man in front of her gave her, she grabbed his sleeve and headed straight towards the dining room.

On a dark and windy night, it is time for murder and arson.

Li Shengyi had been to the palace several times before, but most of the time he was there during the day when he could see the road clearly.

The only time he entered the palace at night was at the osmanthus viewing banquet in autumn.

Just that one time, she heard a sound that she would never forget.

Now she no longer has Qin Songmo by her side to protect her, but has a little snowball who needs her protection.

The deerskin boots made a crunching sound as they stepped on the thin snow.

"Sister, if we rush over like this, we won't be discovered, right?"

The noise of footsteps was too loud, especially in such a quiet environment as a snowy night.

The sound of every step forward frightened Chu Huaize.

Li Shengyi, holding a palace lantern, turned around and glanced at the people around him. "No, they like to disperse people."

Chu Huaize wanted to ask "How did you know?", but saw the person in front of him suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to silence him.

Soon, in the silent snowy night, he heard a blushing and heart-pounding noise.

Her little mouth opened into an 'O' shape. Even though she had known about the chaos in the palace, she had not expected it to be this chaotic. After blushing, Chu Huaize's little face suddenly showed a look of dissatisfaction.

“How audacious!”
