Chapter 1067 "Beauty Trap"
Zhu Xuan stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
"News came from outside that the emperor's whereabouts have been discovered!"
"What?!"
Zhu Xuan's eyes widened in a flash, and Ran Xiaoyu was also stunned. She suddenly stood up from the dressing table, her hair messed up, and the maid behind her was so scared that she laughed and said hurriedly, "Miss, don't move!"
But at this time, how could Ran Xiaoyu listen to them?
She walked over quickly, but after taking two steps, she stopped and stared at Zhu Xuan, only to see that he also had an expression of disbelief on his face.
In fact, Zhu Xuan really couldn't believe it.
He was very clear about the abilities of his royal brother, Zhu Feng. He had fought on the battlefield for many years and was well versed in all kinds of military tactics and tricks. Even if he had forgotten all his past, he was not someone who could be easily dealt with.
And what happened these days also proves this.
When Zhu Feng was alone with Si Nanyan, he avoided the pursuit of the people he sent out. After entering Changqing City, he avoided countless checkpoints and searches in the city, and even rescued the people who had imprisoned him in the governor's office and confronted him directly.
He was forced to be unable to leave Changqing City.
At this time, his whereabouts were suddenly discovered?
This is good news coming a little too fast.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Where is it?"
"There's a riot happening in the east of the city, near the city gate. We need more people immediately."
Zhu Xuan said in a deep voice, "Immediately dispatch five hundred guards from the palace, led by me personally!"
"yes."
When Shi Yiru heard this, he immediately accepted the order, and Zhu Xuan also walked out.
At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Ran Xiaoyu's mind. Seeing Zhu Xuan was about to leave, she suddenly stepped forward and said, "Hey."
“……!”
Zhu Xuan's steps paused, he stopped and turned around.
Ran Xiaoyu stood at the door, looking at him with a complicated expression on her face and said, "Are you really leaving like this?"
“…”
Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He looked at the pretty woman in front of him, dressed in red. When she was sitting, she seemed as graceful as a flower, but when she stood at the door, she showed some of her former stubbornness and arrogance. It was this trait that attracted him.
Zhu Xuan's footsteps subconsciously became heavier.
Ran Xiaoyu's cheeks were slightly reddened by the red dress she was wearing. She gritted her teeth, but still held back her anger and said, "Aren't you going to marry me?"
“…”
"So everything you just said was false?"
“…”
"Yeah?"
After all, she was not like other women who would act coquettishly to seduce men. Even when she said this, the cold and arrogant expression on her face remained unchanged, and there was even a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
However, the more this happened, the more Zhu Xuan's heartstrings were plucked.
His footsteps became heavier.
She knew clearly that Ran Xiaoyu couldn't really want to marry her, so she said these words at this time, obviously to hold her back. But——
He was actually almost dragged down by her.
Almost...
He raised his head and looked at Ran Xiaoyu's cheeks, which were slightly reddened by her red dress. He smiled and said, "You are also rare."
“……!”
Ran Xiaoyu's expression suddenly changed.
Zhu Xuan said, "I'm afraid it must be very difficult for you to say these words in order to delay this king."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything. She couldn't even disguise herself, so naturally, it couldn't be said that he saw through her.
only--
Saying these words made her scalp tingle, and being exposed by Zhu Xuan made her feel even more embarrassed.
Zhu Xuan smiled at her.
Shi Yiru stood nearby. He wasn't worried at all that Zhu Xuan would actually fall for this "honey trap." He just watched coldly and then softly reminded him, "Your Highness, time is running out."
"Um."
Zhu Xuan nodded at him and looked back at Ran Xiaoyu.
Then he said, "Then you will wait for me here. When I have finished what I need to do, I will marry you. In the future, I will also give you a satisfying enthronement ceremony!"
The enthronement ceremony? !
When she heard these four words, Ran Xiaoyu's expression changed.
Zhu Xuan had already waved his hands to the people around him. The maids in the room retreated, and several guards came forward.
"Miss Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."
This is going to make her look like this again.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at Zhu Xuan's back as he turned and left, then looked at the tall guards, bit her lower lip, retreated back into the room, and slowly sat back in front of the dressing table.
She didn't expect Zhu Xuan to speak to her like this.
The enthronement ceremony?
Perhaps, this is what many women, including those jealous concubines in his house dream of, but when he said this to himself, it was just nonsense.
She doesn't care at all.
All she cares about is—
Have they really discovered the emperor's whereabouts?
So, what about the imperial concubine?
These days, apart from the princess, she was also worried about the imperial concubine and the others. She didn't know where Mingxin had taken Princess Xinping. They had no way of leaving the city, but if Zhu Xuan really knew the whereabouts of Zhu Feng and the others, she was afraid that this major matter would be settled soon.
Zhu Feng only has a few hundred people with him. Can he fight against Zhu Xuan in Changqing City?
There were no less than a thousand guards in his palace. When they came here, they overheard his conversation with Shi Yiru, Zhai Yun and others, and learned that he had tens of thousands of palace soldiers privately raised.
In this case, Zhu Feng’s chances of winning are too slim!
Unfortunately, there is no way for me to help them now!
What should I do?
Thinking of this, she became anxious again and could no longer sit still, so she simply stood up and walked around the room. However, the more she walked, the more anxious she became.
She couldn't help but walk to the door, but it was closed. She could still hear the footsteps of several guards walking back and forth outside the door.
I have suffered a lot in the past few days.
Besides, the place is packed with guests today, so she can't leave even if she wants to.
Thinking of this, her heart felt like it was on fire. She couldn't help but clench her fists and punched the door hard.
There was a muffled "bang" sound.
At the same time, a muffled sound seemed to be heard outside.
What's wrong?
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened her eyes wide, held her breath, and listened to the movement outside.
Because no one else is allowed to come to this place, apart from the guards, there are no other servants and maids passing by, so it is very quiet.
She heard a strange, rushing sound of wind outside, followed by several muffled sounds.
It seemed like someone fell to the ground.
Then, there was the sound of footsteps slowly approaching the door.
Ran Xiaoyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Just as she was about to reach out her hand, the person outside had already pushed the door open.
