Chapter 49 Your voice sounds vaguely familiar?
Behind Helian Feng, besides Mingying and Shihun, the most conspicuous person was the Poison King Chu Jin. He was still wearing a red robe, which made his face look very charming, his expression was cold, and his eyes were like an eagle.
Next to Chu Jin, there was a middle-aged man standing. Xiyan recognized him at a glance. This man was Xu Jingzhen, the envoy of Nanzhao.
Xiyan didn't expect to meet them here, especially when she thought about what Chu Jin did to her that night, which made her Xiao Nanyue's forbidden delicacy. Her fingertips suddenly tightened in her sleeves.
However, those men were all stunned when Xiyan turned around.
The breeze blew gently, and the woman's snow-white skirt was like a blooming white lotus. Her long hair fluttered freely, reflecting the spring scenery by the stream. Her cold and beautiful face was even more beautiful than the pear tree behind her.
The playful smile on Helian Feng's lips froze in an instant; the Adam's apple of Xu Jingzhen, the envoy of Nanzhao, rolled, and his eyes were firmly attracted by the beauty in front of him; even Chu Jin's stern face relaxed slightly.
In an instant, the originally noisy sound of the stream seemed to stop instantly, leaving only the rustling sound of the breeze.
The reason why Helian Feng came to this Chunxi Cottage was because the envoy from Nanzhao had just entered the palace. He and Chu Jin accompanied Xu Jingzhen to stroll along the way and enjoy the scenery.
Just as they reached this point and had just turned around the stream and rockery, they heard a crisp rebuke.
Following the sound, they saw a graceful woman in white with her back to them, lecturing the Sixth Prince Helian Ji who was sitting on the rockery.
Helian Feng just found it funny. His little brother was usually spoiled to the point of being arrogant and domineering. Even his father, Emperor Helian Cong, was reluctant to scold him loudly. But now he was completely subdued by a woman. Even if he was scolded until his face turned red and his neck became thick, he did not dare to refute.
Helian Feng just felt it was a little strange. This woman knew that the person in front of her was the Sixth Prince, but she still didn't show any fear. This courage made him a little interested.
Who was this woman? Was she a palace maid or the daughter of a high-ranking official?
However, when the woman turned around, the spring flowers seemed to have lost their color, especially her bright eyes, which showed an innate coldness. Helian Feng felt as if a feather was gently brushing against his heart, causing a tingling sensation.
After a while, he came back to his senses, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked towards Xiyan:
"You are so brave, young lady! You even dare to discipline my Sixth Prince!"
Xiyan's nails almost dug into her palms, but she took a deep breath, quickly controlled her emotions, and hid the hatred in her eyes.
She brushed her body slightly towards the men, her eyes lowered so that her expression could not be seen clearly, and her voice was cold and indifferent:
"I dare not. I was just passing by here and was joking with His Highness the Sixth Prince. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you all."
Seeing her calling herself a slave, Helian Feng thought she was a maid in the palace and was a little surprised.
Who would have thought that there was such a beautiful maid hidden in this deep palace? Even Concubine Li Shu, who was known for her beauty in Yandu, was not as pretty as her.
Chu Jin, who was standing aside, stared at Xi Yan for a moment, and suddenly spoke, his voice seemed to have a hint of inquiry:
"Your voice sounds vaguely familiar?"
Xiyan's heart tightened. That night when she broke into the Prince's Mansion to steal the pearl, she deliberately concealed most of the real sounds. This Chu Jin is indeed the Poison King, his hearing is quite sharp!
Her face remained expressionless, she raised her head and smiled faintly:
"Perhaps my voice is more popular than yours, so you may have misheard me!"
"Oh, maybe!"
Chu Jin responded indifferently and said nothing more.
At this time, Mingying had already rescued the sixth prince Helian Ji.
Helian Ji was rescued and was about to lose his temper, but he suddenly thought of Xiyan's murderous threat and the female ghost in white. His face changed involuntarily and he hid behind Helian Feng in embarrassment, becoming much more obedient.
Helian Feng comforted him for a few words, then turned around and ordered Soul Killer:
"Go, first send His Highness the Sixth Prince back to the Empress Shufei of Ningxi Palace!"
Shihun accepted the order and left with Helian Ji.
After sending the Sixth Prince away, Helian Feng's eyes, half smiling, fell on Xi Yan again:
"Which palace are you from? What's your name?"
Xiyan pondered for a moment and was about to reply:
"Your servant..."
At this moment, a voice as cold as frost pierced through the warm spring sun and struck straight at him:
"Why are you not returning to the palace to serve this king? What are you doing here?"
Xiyan turned around in surprise, only to find that Xiao Nanyan had been standing behind them without them knowing when!
