Mo Zhu and Qin Shuo were currently sitting on the pavilion, and Mo Zhu was smiling from the corner of his mouth, listening to what Qin Shuo was saying.
"Hu Xiao is too violent. Mo Zhu, look at our eyes, she was punched and it hurt so much that it killed us. She didn’t say anything and beat us up right in front of Yin Fufeng."
Qin Shuo gently caressed the bruises around his eyes, making hissing sounds from time to time. Mo Zhu wanted to laugh, but didn’t dare to.
The emperor of a country didn’t even dare to retaliate after being beaten up by a woman. How despicable!
Qin Shuo did not dare to beat Hu Xiao up, but he dared to beat up Mo Zhu.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is a woman. Even if you were beaten by her, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Just bear with it and you’ll be over." The corner of Mo Zhu’s mouth could not help but twitch. For such a serious injury, just looking at it would cause pain.
Endure, how can I endure? This is too much. She thinks me to be a thief. I am her husband. Qin Shuo was infuriated, he slapped the table, and his entire face darkened.
Mo Zhu did not say much, this was an internal matter of the emperor, he could only be a peacemaker and advise the emperor, he would definitely not dare to speak ill of Hu Xiao, if not, when the two of them had reconciled, he would be the one to die.
When Hu Xiao went back, she was also furious in her heart. She had been treated by Qin Shuo as a madman, and thought that if she couldn’t fall asleep at all, she might as well go out for a walk to quell the fire.
Qin Shuo that bastard, had died somewhere at this time. He might even be in the arms of a certain fox spirit in the palace.
Zhi Lan was standing outside. Seeing that Hu Xiao had come out, she moved closer and asked: "Empress, it’s so late, what are you doing out here?"
Seeing that Hu Xiao had changed her attire, Zhi Lan guessed that the Empress was probably going to leave the palace.
"Stay in the palace, I’m bored. I’m going out for a walk." Hu Xiao said angrily with her hands behind her back. Obviously, she still had not gotten over her anger from this afternoon.
"Esteemed Empress, it wouldn’t be good if the emperor found out that we were going out at this time, right?" Zhi Lan asked tentatively. Originally, these two people had contradictions, if they were to make a scene like this, the Emperor would definitely be angry.
"Who cares if he’s angry or not, Zhi Lan, are you my or his person? If you stop me, aren’t you treating me as a sister?" Hu Xiao opened her mouth to speak, using sisterhood to suppress Zhi Lan. Since she said so, Zhi Lan had no way of stopping her.
She was indeed Hu Xiao’s person, but her starting point was good, she was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again.
"Alright, alright. Don’t follow me anymore. Go back and sleep. It’s not like I don’t know the way." Hu Xiao waved her hand, signalling to Zhi Lan not to follow her.
Zhi Lan was worried, she continued to follow Hu Xiao, but was stopped by her gaze.
In the elegant small restaurant, Hu Xiao leisurely sat on the table. Clear wine was placed in front of her, she picked up the cup on the table and sipped on it, her gaze fixated on the male and female performers, and instantly threw the worries in her heart to the back of her head.
Her vision was blurry and her thoughts were far away. It was unknown what she was thinking.
"This is ..." A resonant voice came from the front, pulling Hu Xiao back from her thoughts.
Hu Xiao thought, this voice was really familiar, she didn’t know who it belonged to.
She raised her head and narrowed her eyes to look. When she saw who had come, she was greatly alarmed. How could it be her!
"Soong Xuan!" Hu Xiao turned pale with fright. Soong Xuan, this girl, had also come.
"Hu Xiao, you are here too. Oh my god, I thought I was wrong. Unbelievable!" Soong Xuan laughed out loud. She rudely pulled up a chair and sat beside Hu Xiao. It was such a coincidence.
"Come, come, come. Come with me and chat. It just so happens that I’m bored by myself." When she saw Soong Xuan, Hu Xiao’s eyes immediately lit up. She never thought that Soong Xuan also liked coming to this kind of place.
Then, she smiled and asked, "Soong Xuan, do you come to this place often?"
Her eyes flashed with malice, and when Soong Xuan met her gaze, he smiled.
"You didn’t come often, so you came here to play when you had nothing to do. Oh right, why are you here so late? Aren’t you afraid of the emperor finding out?" Soong Xuan raised her eyebrows and asked while grinning.
She had interacted with Hu Xiao for a long time, so she naturally knew that she was fearless. She asked this question simply because she wanted to know what had happened between Hu Xiao and Hu Xiao.
She hugged her chest and snorted coldly, "Don’t even think about him, this damn pervert is already so old, yet he still wants to participate in the selection."
Hearing that, Soong Xuan’s mouth could not help but twitch. An age? The Emperor is only a few years old, he’s in the prime of his life, how did he become this old?
However, she saw that Hu Xiao was in a bad mood and did not dare to joke about the Elite Appraisal. She patted Hu Xiao’s shoulders and said: "Just because of this, why are you angry? There are a lot of men in the world, don’t be sad for just the emperor.
Before Soong Xuan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Hu Xiao, "Beautiful man, where are you? Let me take a look."
Women were the same as men, they all liked to look at beautiful things. Hu Xiao was no exception. She was very excited.
"Look at you, monkey. If anyone sees you, be careful of your face." Soong Xuan’s smiling face was like a flower, "I came here tonight because of him. Just now, I saw him.
"No need for that. I’ve already seen it. Is it that ..." Hu Xiao’s eyes lit up, she immediately asked the man who was about five steps away excitedly, "Even more enchanting than Qin Shuo, it’s great, it suits my taste."
Seeing that, Soong Xuan called the man over. The three of them sat around the table and drank their wine and chattered happily.
Qin Shuo only found out about the news of Hu Xiao going to the little pavilion to play the next morning. Hearing the report from the eunuch, he became flustered and exasperated, even knocking over the table in front of him.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you telling this news to me now?" Qin Shuo squinted his eyes. Damn it, this Hu Xiao, wasn’t beating him up yesterday enough?
This was too much!
Qin Shuo clenched his fists, following that, his fists fiercely hammered on the door, and he said sinisterly: "Hu Xiao, you are putting us more and more in your heart."
He took large strides and rushed towards the Phoenix Perching Palace.
He walked like the wind, and no one could catch up to him. Everyone ran after him, heading towards the Phoenix Perching Palace.
He did not even knock on the door and directly pushed it open before entering. Upon entering, he found Hu Xiao lying on the bed, looking tired.
