Chapter 436 Concubine Xu lied and betrayed her, the emperor humbly begged for reconciliation online

Wei Chi lowered his head and reported.

A hint of sternness flashed across Xiao Jinyan's eyes, "Let's go and take a look."

Wei Chi followed Xiao Jinyan to Concubine Xu's tent.

At this time in the woods

As soon as Xu Cefei walked in, she was pulled behind a tree. This time she was much calmer than before.

"What are you doing here?"

The man in black got straight to the point and said, "I want you to help me ask the Crown Princess about Feng Wuyou."

Concubine Xu said, "The Crown Princess doesn't know Feng Wuyou."

The man in black asked doubtfully, "How do you know?"

Concubine Xu said, "The Crown Princess once asked me if I knew Feng Wuyou. If she knew, would she still ask me?"

The man in black frowned when he heard this. He didn't have any hope in the first place, but after getting this answer, he was still a little disappointed.

Concubine Xu couldn't help but ask again: "Who is Feng Wuyou to you? Why did you look for her for so long?"

Seeing how curious she was, the man in black decided not to keep it a secret any longer, "Feng Wuyou is my sister."

It turned out to be my sister, not my sweetheart.

Concubine Xu was somewhat happy, "My sister is doing well."

"I've searched almost everywhere in Daxia, but couldn't find her." The man in black was a little worried. He had been searching for too long and was disappointed time and time again. He didn't know what to do.

Concubine Xu heard the anxiety in the black-clothed man's tone, and she comforted him, "Don't worry, we will definitely find it."

The man in black sighed, "I've been looking for it for eight years. How can it be easy?"

Although Concubine Xu had never lost her sister, she could understand how anxious and desperate her sister would be if she had been missing for eight years.

"Did your sister run away from home?"

The man in black nodded, "Yeah."

"Why do you want to run away from home? Don't you treat her well?" Concubine Xu thought that only if she was treated badly would she want to run away from home. Someone like her who was spoiled by the whole family would not think of running away from home.

"No." The man in black thought of Xiaojiu. She was the treasure of the whole family. How could they treat her badly?

"If you treat her well, why would she run away from home?" Concubine Xu seemed to have thought of something, "Could it be that a bad guy kidnapped her?"

The man in black fell into deep thought after hearing this. He had thought that he might have been taken away by someone. The first person he thought of was Xiao Jinyan. At that time, Xiao Jiu was very close to Xiao Jinyan.

He came to Daxia to look for Xiaojiu at the beginning, but did not find her. In order not to delay the search for Xiaojiu, he went to other places to look for her, fearing that her enemy had kidnapped Xiaojiu deliberately for revenge.

Concubine Xu asked curiously, "How old is your sister now?"

The man in black said, "One year younger than you, eighteen."

"I heard from my brother that if a girl is kidnapped by a bad guy, especially a pretty girl, she might be sold to a brothel..."

As Concubine Xu was talking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing. How could she think in this way?

The black-clothed man's eyes darkened.

Concubine Xu explained hastily, "I am just guessing that your sister must be blessed by heaven, and someone will rescue her if she is in danger."

The man in black had known Concubine Xu for two years and had some understanding of her personality. She spoke fast and easily offended people.

"You go back first."

Concubine Xu was reluctant to leave, "What about you?"

The man in black said, "If Da Xia can't find her again, I will leave Da Xia."

When Concubine Xu heard that he was leaving Daxia, she suddenly felt empty. She reached out and grabbed his hand, "When are you leaving Daxia? Will you come to Daxia again in the future?"

The man in black looked down at the hand that was held by Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu also realized that she had actually grabbed the man's hand. She blushed and took her hand back, hesitatingly explaining, "I was in a hurry. I wouldn't just grab a man's hand."

The man in black laughed so softly that it was inaudible. "I will probably leave Da Xia next morning. I will come to Da Xia to play after I find Xiao Jiu."

Concubine Xu asked, "How long will it take? Two months? Or half a year?"

"Of course the sooner the better." The man in black sighed. He wished he could find Xiaojiu right now. So many years have passed, and the little girl has grown into a big girl.

Concubine Xu felt lost when she thought that the man in black was leaving Da Xia. She returned to her tent and did not notice anyone sitting at the table.

Xiao Jinyan watched Concubine Xu walk in, looking distraught and not even greeting him. He asked coldly, "Concubine Xu, where have you been so late?"

Concubine Xu was startled by a cold voice. She looked up and saw Xiao Jinyan sitting at the table. Looking at her with those stern eyes, she felt guilty again.

Why was Xiao Jinyan in his own tent?

She was stunned for a long time before she reacted and stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan angrily slammed the table, "Xu Concubine is getting more and more daring. You are meeting a man at night. Do you know your crime?"

Concubine Xu is just a paper tiger. How could she withstand the scare from Xiao Jinyan?

My legs went weak immediately and I almost fell to the ground.

How did Xiao Jinyan know that she went to meet the man in black?

She couldn't admit it at this moment. What if Xiao Jinyan thought she had an affair with someone else? She was finished. She didn't want to leave a bad reputation before leaving the palace.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you are talking about."

Xiao Jinyan snorted inwardly, and knew that having an affair would bring bad reputation?

"Concubine Xu, as my concubine, you secretly met with a man in the middle of the night. If this matter were to get out, not only would your reputation be in jeopardy, but even your life would be in danger. If Concubine Xu tells the truth, I can give you a lighter sentence for General Xu's sake."

Concubine Xu felt very upset. She didn't know how Xiao Jinyan knew about her meeting with the man in black. Before anything happened, she was accused of having an affair!

It’s so unfair!

"Your Highness, it's not midnight now. Besides, I'm just meeting a friend. My chastity seal is still there. Your Highness can't wrongly accuse me."

Xiao Jinyan was so angry that he laughed. After following Xiaojiu for so long, even their speech was somewhat similar. He even knew how to refute!

"This is the royal enclosure. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Anyone who violates the order will be killed! You said you are your friend, so why are you wearing night clothes? Why don't you show up in broad daylight?"

"It is because this is the royal enclosure that he, an outsider, dares not show up. Besides, although he is wearing night clothes, he is not a bad person. He saved my life. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago."

As Concubine Xu was talking, she thought of Xiao Jinyan's identity and pleaded, "He is really not a bad person. Your Highness is very generous, so don't worry about it."

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

"Then do you know who the man in black is? Where is he from?"

Concubine Xu shook her head: "I don't know. I don't even know his name."

After Xu Cefei finished speaking, she began to regret it. The man in black was about to leave Da Xia, and she even forgot to ask him his name tonight.

I don't know when we will say goodbye.

Concubine Xu became more unhappy the more she thought about it.

Xiao Jinyan: “…” Judging from what Concubine Xu said in her heart, she was not lying.

How can you call someone a friend when you don’t even know who the other person is?

This brain...

"Then do you know why the man in black came to Daxia?"

Concubine Xu was a little hesitant when she heard this. She couldn't tell anyone that the man in black came to Daxia to look for Feng Wuyou, right?

It should not be said.

Concubine Xu shook her head, "I don't know."

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly, but did not care that Concubine Xu was lying, because he could read people's minds and knew that the man in black came to Daxia to find Feng Wuyou.

He had a painting of Feng Wuyou and a jade stone. Perhaps he had known them before, but he had forgotten.

Concubine Xu was a little worried and wanted to leave the palace, so she brought this up, "Your Highness, I want to leave the palace, and I can save you some money."

Xiao Jinyan had already known from Concubine Xu's words that she was going to leave the palace, so she was not surprised.

"I will give you a decent reason to leave the palace."

Concubine Xu thought that it would take some effort to talk, but she didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to agree so readily. Well, staying would just mean one more mouth to feed.

She bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help."

"Before leaving the palace, you should pay attention to etiquette and rules."

Xiao Jinyan left after saying a few words.

Concubine Xu took off her clothes and lay on the bed. She was extremely sad when she thought about the man in black leaving Daxia.

Xiao Jinyan returned to the tent and saw Shen Chuwei already asleep on the bed.

He undressed and went to bed, then lit the oil lamp and looked at Xiaojiu who was sleeping soundly. His features were somewhat similar to those in the portrait.

The man in black came to Daxia to look for Feng Wuyou. Could it be because he found that Xiaojiu was similar to Feng Wuyou?

Recalling the sudden attack by the man in black two days ago, Xiaojiu was afraid that he would be bullied so he stepped forward to help and actually blocked the man in black's sword-wielding hand with one hand.

After fighting with the man in black for several rounds, he knew better than anyone how powerful the man in black's martial arts skills were.

Xiaojiu couldn't stop him at full strength, unless the man in black reduced his strength.

Thinking back to when the sword was swung, I could feel that the power had indeed been greatly reduced due to Xiaojiu's proximity.

Looking at the black-clad man's attitude towards Xiaojiu, one can guess that this is not the first time he has seen her.

Xiao Jinyan pondered for a long time, vaguely feeling that the memory he had lost was very important.

The next day, he sent people to continue investigating the matter of Feng Wuyou.

Shen Chuwei came out of the tent and saw the queen leading the horse from a distance. She walked over and bowed, "May your mother be blessed with good health."

The Queen turned around and found that it was the Crown Princess. She smiled and said, "It's the Crown Princess."

Shen Chuwei noticed the dark circles under the queen's eyes and asked worriedly, "Didn't your mother get enough rest last night?"

The Queen paused when she heard this. She did not sleep well last night and did not want to worry the Crown Princess, so she said, "Well, there were a lot of mosquitoes last night."

Shen Chuwei said: "I have some mosquito killer here, it is very effective, I will send some to mother later."

The queen did not refuse and nodded gently, "Okay."

The emperor waited for a long time in the tent but the empress didn't come back. From last night until now, they haven't said a few words to each other, and he doesn't know what she is thinking.

The emperor put on his clothes and walked out of the tent himself. He saw the empress and the crown princess chatting from a distance and walked over.

Shen Chuwei saw the emperor coming and bowed, "May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

The Emperor glanced at the Crown Princess, then at the Empress. She was wearing riding gear and holding a horse in her hands, as if she was going hunting.

"Does the Queen want to go riding?"

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do, so I want to ride a horse."

Upon hearing this, the emperor reached out and held her hand holding the reins, and said gently, "I will go with you."

The Queen politely declined: "The Emperor is still injured. What if the wound opens again while riding a horse?"

Shen Chuwei noticed that the wound had opened again after hearing this? The emperor's wound had opened before?

The emperor said nonchalantly, "It's just riding a horse, nothing will happen. I haven't ridden a horse with the empress for a long time, and today I will experience it again.

Shen Chuwei felt like a huge light bulb. While the two were talking, she found an excuse and slipped away.

After Shen Chuwei left, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "Queen, are you still unwilling to believe me?"
