Chapter 384 A Mistake

Little Xixi's eyes sparkled with a desire for food. Her little face was filled with an innocent smile, and her slightly raised mouth corners revealed her playfulness and cuteness.

The people around her were immersed in singing and laughter, but she seemed to be in a small world that belonged only to food.

Pei Xuanyi stood beside her, his eyes never leaving her. He watched her eat with relish, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart. He reached out and gently brushed away the food residue on the corners of her mouth, his movements gentle and natural.

"Xixi, eat slowly, no one is competing with you." Pei Xuanyi smiled softly.

Qin Xixi raised her head, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction and happiness.

However, just as the two were immersed in this warmth and harmony, a guard hurriedly walked to Pei Xuanyi and whispered something. Pei Xuanyi's expression instantly became solemn, and he frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

Qin Xixi stopped chewing, slightly opened her clear eyes, and looked at Pei Xuanyi.

When Zhao Shuoer left just now, the uneasiness in her heart became stronger.

The surprise and contemplation in Pei Xuanyi's eyes always made her feel that something big had happened.

But what big thing could have happened recently? It's nothing more than the matter between Big Brother and Sister Wen.

[No way, what happened again, why did the little emperor's expression become like this? 】

"We have to go, we have to go!"

Pei Xuanyi heard Xixi's voice, but this time he did not allow Xixi to go with him. Instead, he lowered his head to comfort little Xixi.

"Xixi, I have some things to take care of. You wait for me here. There are so many foods at the banquet. Eat well and wait for your brother to come back."

Pei Xuanyi's voice was low and powerful. He squatted down and looked at Qin Xixi at eye level, trying to soothe her emotions in this way.

Qin Xixi frowned. Did the little grandson of the emperor think she was a fool?

Xixi crossed her arms angrily, pouted her little face, and looked at Pei Xuanyi.

[It's too hateful. Even if Xixi is a child, she can't fool me like this. ]

Pei Xuanyi shook his head lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He could tolerate Xiao Xixi in other matters, but this time...

Thinking of what the guard had just told him, Pei Xuanyi's eyes flashed with complex emotions.

Xixi couldn't bear to see that kind of scene. She was still young. What if something happened?

"Be good, Xixi. I'll be back soon." Pei Xuanyi's voice was soft and firm. Although his tone was as gentle as ever, it was accompanied by a kind of majesty that could not be questioned. Although this majesty was not directed at Xiao Xixi, Xiao Xixi still felt that the little grandson would definitely not take her with him.

Although Qin Xixi still had doubts in her heart, she looked at Pei Xuanyi's serious eyes and finally nodded.

If she doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go. If Pei Xuanyi doesn't take her there, can't she just sneak over by

herself? After sneaking out so many times when she was at home, Xiao Xixi believed that her skills were already very familiar with it.

Pei Xuanyi stood up, although he was still a little worried, but the situation was urgent, he could only leave a trusted maid behind.

"Take good care of Xixi, I'll be back soon."

The maid responded respectfully. After Pei Xuanyi left, Qin Xixi sat there, following Pei Xuanyi's back with her eyes until he disappeared in the crowd.

An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She didn't know whether it was worry or uneasiness, but Xixi could vaguely guess that maybe her eldest brother was in trouble.

Xixi's guess didn't make sense. Pei Xuanyi's headache was about Qin Qixuan.

When he asked the guard to call the four women in, he hinted to the guard to go to the mansion to find Wen Yanya.

It was the guard who came back to deliver the message just now, but...

Pei Xuanyi remembered what the guard had just said, and listened to the sound coming from the room in front of him...

Pei Xuanyi stood in front of the closed door, his brows were locked, and his face was livid.

He could clearly hear the sound coming from behind the door, the sound of men and women making love was particularly harsh in the silent night.

It was the voices of Wen Yanya and Qin Qixuan.

The guard carefully glanced at Pei Xuanyi's face, and said respectfully.

"Your Highness, you ordered me to find Miss Wen. When I found this place, it was already... like this."

Pei Xuanyi's heart was full of doubts and puzzlement. Why did such an accident happen? Wen Yanya and Qin Qixuan were not such impulsive people. Moreover, the situation was very good now. Qin Qixuan had no need to use this method. Could it be that there was something hidden that he didn't know?

Just as Pei Xuanyi was lost in thought, Zhao Shuo'er suddenly appeared in his sight.

She was originally full of pride, but when she saw Pei Xuanyi, her figure paused slightly.

Not only that, when she walked in and accidentally heard the sound coming from behind the door, her face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

"Who's in there!"

Zhao Shuo'er's face was very distorted. Although she was very reluctant to believe it, looking at Pei Xuanyi's expression, it was Qin Qixuan and the other woman inside!

She had clearly planned everything, how could it turn out like this?

She had clearly prepared this medicine to make Qin Qixuan and herself have a relationship. But now, the voice coming from behind this door made her feel sick and disgusted.

Who on earth enjoyed the result of her drugging! Let Brother Qixuan...

She couldn't accept such a result, and she couldn't accept that her plan was ruined.

The noise in the house made Zhao Shuoer a little bit unbearable, and even a little collapsed. She couldn't help but walk forward quickly and wanted to push open the door, but was stopped by Pei Xuanyi in time.

Pei Xuanyi frowned and looked at Zhao Shuoer. Seeing that her eyes were full of tears and her expression was even a little unwilling, he remembered what he had heard before, that Zhao Shuoer was in love with Qin Qixuan. In a flash, Pei Xuanyi figured it all out.

Qin Qixuan and Wen Yanya's personalities really made it difficult for them to do such unconventional things, and Qin Qixuan would not be so anxious.

But if it was Zhao Shuoer, it would be different. She had always been pampered by the Jinnan Palace, and she could do anything.

Zhao Shuo'er loves Qin Qixuan, and Qin Qixuan likes Wen Yanya. If Zhao Shuo'er wants to get Qin Qixuan by drugging her, it will be a done deal, forcing Qin Qixuan to marry her...

Pei Xuanyi knew it in his heart, and naturally he would not let Zhao Shuo'er in.

Things have come to this, and they cannot be reversed. He can only choose a solution that will cause the least harm to Qin Qixuan.

Pei Xuanyi signaled the guard with his eyes, asking him to hold Zhao Shuo'er and not let her be too impulsive.
