Chapter 1988 Her name is Xia Fuyi
However, before he could figure out how to respond, the palace door behind him was suddenly knocked by stones. The sound was very urgent, like some kind of anxious warning.
Xia Fuyi looked outside the door vigilantly at the first moment. When she was about to walk over with her sword in hand, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The cold touch passed from her skin into her blood. She stopped and looked at Changsun Chi with some surprise and some joy.
Only then did the man turn around and stare at her.
The eyes were facing away from the light, exuding a dark mist.
There were already noisy footsteps being heard and approaching outside the palace, but Changsun Chi just stared at Xia Fuyi motionlessly.
The empty hall and the dim light were reflected in his pupils, with Xia Fuyi as the focus, shining quietly like a star.
The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, but Chang Sun Chi didn't say anything, so Xia Fuyi didn't rush. She looked at him quietly with a questioning and waiting look. After a long time, she heard the man's low voice.
"You really don't want to leave?"
There was a strange smile in his tone, nonchalant yet with a sharp sarcasm.
"There's a secret entrance in the backyard of this palace. You still have time to leave."
Another stone hit the door, followed by two and three more, the sound becoming more and more urgent, but Chang Sun Chi pretended not to hear it, just looked at Xia Fuyi and said the last sentence slowly with a smile,
"But if you refuse to leave now, you won't get a second chance."
Chang Sun Chi's voice was almost gentle.
Xia Fuyi looked at him, frowned coldly, and said very seriously,
"If you give me a choice, I will definitely not leave."
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps and firelight arrived at the door, and then they all heard a familiar low laugh.
"When I heard from Eunuch Xi that His Majesty passed out drunk in the Amber Palace, I didn't believe it. Now it seems to be true."
As soon as the words fell, the half-closed palace door was pushed open without hesitation.
The fire leaked out two or three points. Regent Changsun Qingzhao, along with a few ministers and a group of palace maids, stood outside the door. Some palace maids were wearing cloaks and holding sobering soup. It seemed that they had really come to look for the drunk emperor and were very well prepared.
However, when the scene in the hall came into Changsun Qingzhao's eyes, the smile in his eyes immediately disappeared, leaving only a beautiful fake smile on his face, which made people shudder. He didn't even ask a question, staring at Xia Fuyi with a half-smile on her face and said,
"What? Are all the palace guards dead? Are you indifferent to a stranger with a sword standing before His Majesty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a team of imperial guards following him immediately came forward to capture Xia Fuyi.
Xia Fuyi reflexively gripped Long Yuan tightly, and with a slight push of her thumb, the sword was about to be unsheathed half an inch, but was forcefully thrust back by a hand.
The subtle voice was drowned in the emperor's faint smile.
Chang Sun Chi pulled Xia Fuyi's wrist, turned around, his eyes half-open, and smiled lazily,
"Don't be nervous, Regent. Fu Yi is not a dangerous person."
He half-hugged Xia Fuyi in his arms with one hand, lowered his head and placed a kiss on her hair.
The half-closed eyes and long eyelashes were bathed in the clear light and the lamplight, and they looked lazy and tender, which stunned everyone outside the door.
Then, while Xia Fuyi was petrified, Chang Sun Chi stepped back, looked down at her and smiled softly.
"This is the queen I will soon marry into the palace, and she will also be the mistress of my harem."
"Her name is Xia Fuyi."
