Chapter 393 It’s better to have an assassin

"Is the emperor alone in there?" Si Linglong asked.

When Fu Tai heard this, he pretended to be surprised and said, "What did the noble concubine say? The emperor is naturally a person."

Fu Tai was not sure what Lang Guipin meant by asking this question, but he knew that the emperor valued her very much, so he naturally did not dare to say anything ambiguous that would arouse her suspicion.

Their emperor has never been interested in women, even the palace maids who served him were sent away directly.

So now there is really only the emperor in here.

Si Linglong's almond-shaped eyes rolled around, but she didn't believe it. "Really? I heard that the concubines in the harem like to deliberately create surprises to invite favors. Maybe there is someone else among them?"

[Yeah, that’s how it’s played out in TV dramas.]

Fu Tai thought to himself, among the concubines who followed him this time, who else besides you has the courage to go to such a place to ask for the emperor's favor? Aren't you afraid of being thrown out with a basin of water?

But he couldn't say this, he could only correct it with righteous words.

"Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. I am standing guard outside. Who would dare to go in and disturb the emperor? Where did you hear this? It has never happened in our palace."

Si Linglong still looked unconvinced, "Really? I don't believe it."

Fu Tai felt sweat coming out of his mouth. Just as he was about to say something to assure her of the emperor's "loyalty", Si Linglong suddenly changed the subject and spoke very quickly.

"Not unless you let me in for a sneak peek."

After he finished speaking, Fu Tai was silent for a moment.

Si Linglong in front of him said that she was doubtful, but her almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear. Fu Tai has been a fox for many years. If he still doesn't understand now, then he is not worthy of being the eunuch chief.

"Your Highness, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have bothered you." Fu Tai looked at Si Linglong in front of him with a smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Sure enough, young people are the ones who know how to have fun.

He understood the little fun between the emperor and his concubine.

Si Linglong felt her ears slightly warmed and her face was tense after being exposed by him.

"I just wanted to make sure you weren't lying to me. I had absolutely no other thoughts."

This statement is simply a case of trying to cover up one's own misconduct.

Fu Tai understands it very well.

"Yes, yes, if you see it with your own eyes, you will know that I have never lied to you."

Young people are shy, so as the chief eunuch, he naturally has to bear some of the responsibilities.

Even if it was Fu Tai, if he let people in without Helian Yue's permission, he would definitely be punished afterwards.

But this person is Concubine Langgui, so the meaning is different.

After this journey, anyone who was not blind would know that Concubine Lang Gui was different from other people in the emperor's place.

…

The hot spring where Helian Yue was located was an open-air pavilion behind the main hall. To enter from the outside, one had to pass through a long corridor, so the secrets outside naturally could not reach his ears.

At this time, Helian Yue was soaking in the hot spring water alone, and his handsome face was vaguely cold under the steaming mist.

Helian Yue had already received the news that Si Linglong brought Xue Sha to cover for Gu Qingquan.

Although she didn't know what the situation was over there, seeing Si Linglong abandon her on the road and get into Gu Qingquan's carriage, Helian Yue didn't expect that this person would still remember her.

Although she promised not to go too deep, Helian Yue didn't trust her.

Maybe at this moment, this scumbag is peeking at Wu Lie taking off his clothes somewhere with Gu Qingquan...

Thinking of this, Helian Yue's face looked even colder and more frightening in the steaming heat.

Suddenly he felt the heat of the spring water beneath him making him irritable. Not only did it fail to wash away his tiredness from the journey, but it made him even more depressed.

Helian Yue had a gloomy face and was about to get up, pack up and go back to his room to read. However, before he could make any move, there seemed to be light footsteps approaching in the originally quiet courtyard.

Feng's eyes were fixed with alertness, and Helian Yue tilted his ear to listen carefully.

Someone so sneaky, he is neither Fu Tai nor a palace maid.

Could it be... another assassin?

He remained seated in the hot spring pool without making a sound, but in his hand he tightly grasped a wet handkerchief soaked in the spring water. If anyone dared to approach him, he would attack them directly.

As Helian Yue was thinking this, he had already rolled the towel in the water into a long strip.

I heard the sneaky footsteps getting closer and closer, and then...

A heartbeat that couldn't be more familiar followed the sound of footsteps and stopped behind the rockery not far from the hot spring pool. The tone was still filled with a restrained yet familiar tone of excitement.

[Family! Family! Now the host has arrived at the Supreme VIP Hall of Dayuan Yuquan Palace! Next, the host will lead everyone to unveil the most mysterious veil of the ancient Dayuan Emperor...Ahhhh, are you nervous? Are you looking forward to it?! Anyway, I am very nervous! ]

Helian Yue: ...

It would be better to have an assassin.
