Chapter 473: The Cards

Outside the hall, Futai, Shuhong and others had been waiting outside early, just waiting to respond to the call as soon as there was any movement inside.

But I never expected that the first sound from inside would be quite loud.

There was a thud, obviously the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Fu Tai and the others were puzzled, wondering whether they should open their mouths to ask, when they suddenly heard the voice of Concubine Lang Gui. Although they couldn't hear what she was saying, it was obvious that she was a little excited.

Futai and Shuhong looked at each other, both with confusion on their faces.

It was fine last night, what happened?

Before they could figure out what was wrong, the commotion inside became even louder.

Fu Tai then hurried forward and knocked on the door to inquire, but unexpectedly, he was coldly rebuked by the emperor.

Then, there was the obviously struggling voice of Concubine Lang Gui, "You, you let me go! Go away!!"

Shuhong and Qinglu outside the door both changed their expressions.

Qinglu couldn't help but ask with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty... Are you forcing your concubine..."

Shu Hong's face darkened and she was about to go forward and push the door.

Fu Tai hurriedly opened his hands and blocked the door, "How dare you! Are you going to disobey my order?"

The emperor just said that you are not allowed to enter!

Shu Hong frowned, as if she was going to force her way in. Fu Tai knew that the two were Lang Guipin's confidants, and he couldn't really order them to be taken away and punished. He could only lower his voice and persuade them, "You are confused. What's going on between the Emperor and Guipin, how can you two little girls go in and mediate?"

"But, noble concubine..."

"What do you know about this concubine's affairs? Go away, stay aside..."

Qinglu looked at Shuhong with some confusion, and the two looked at each other, but ultimately decided not to break in.

But I couldn't help but grumble in my heart.

We don’t understand, but you do?

…

Inside the house, Si Linglong's hands were pressed on both sides of her head. She was pinned down and unable to move. She wanted to kick someone, but as soon as she raised her legs, she felt something being pulled and she shuddered in pain.

【Ouch... it hurts! You still bully me.】

Helian Yue held her with both hands, and when he saw her face turned pale and wrinkled because of the discomfort, he loosened his grip on her, as if helpless.

"Don't move, I won't touch you anymore."

"Go away!" Si Linglong struggled again. Helian Yue saw beads of sweat on her forehead and didn't want to continue the stalemate with her, so he had to compromise.

"Listen to me first, okay?"

Si Linglong nodded reluctantly. Seeing that he had withdrawn his hand and was no longer pressing on her, she immediately rolled over and rolled herself into the innermost part of the bed. After making sure she had distanced herself from him, she spoke again, "Go ahead."

Helian Yue: ...

The person who was pestering me for mercy last night, today I just want to stay away from him. This feeling of disparity is really...

But I just can't lose my temper.

She could only try to soften her voice and speak in her favorite low, magnetic tone.

"I can indeed read minds."

【snort!】

Si Linglong in the bed snorted inwardly and stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

Helian Yue glanced at her with a helpless tone.

"I guessed you would react like this, so I kept it a secret from you."

【Hehehe! 】

Si Linglong in the bed hummed even louder.

An expression that says, "I'm just watching your performance quietly."

The corner of Helian Yue's mouth twitched, and he wanted to reach out and grab her ankle and pull her back to see if she still dared to hum in a sarcastic manner in her heart.

Si Linglong was indeed angry.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable knowing that her inner thoughts were being heard by others. She didn't even dare to think about what kind of vicious words she had said in front of A Yue.

But we still need to ask clearly what needs to be asked.

After sitting up with great effort, he hugged his knees and asked a barrage of questions based on what he had read about mind reading in the past.

"When did you learn to read minds?"

"Can only mine be heard or can everyone else hear it?"

“Are there any limitations to this mind-reading technique?

"Can it only be heard within a certain distance? Or does it require certain conditions, such as physical contact?"

Helian Yue, who was originally planning to make excuses and fool around:...

Each of these questions hits the mark.

Do I still have room for deception?
