Chapter 248: Settle Accounts Later

It has been so long, Ling Fengxun has already found out who assassinated An Yunxi.

However, there is no conclusive evidence.

If you want to touch the prince, you must catch him in the act.

In addition, Ling Fengxun did not pay attention to such a big matter as An Yunxi's childbirth.

Now, he has time, and the people who should be dealt with should be dealt with

Night falls, but the Beiling Palace is brightly lit under the night sky today.

It should be a good day for the New Year, but Xu Meir, as the imperial concubine, is very unhappy.

I don't know why, she feels that everything has been going wrong for her recently.

In a disguised way, it is very unlucky.

In addition, she was originally from the Southern Qi Kingdom, and the winter there was never as cold as that in the Northern Ling Kingdom, so as soon as she went out, she felt frozen stiff, unbearable cold, and pain everywhere.

"My queen, it's getting late, the banquet has begun, and the emperor is urging you."

Xu Meir heard this, and her eyes revealed a bit of displeasure, but she still adjusted her hair, then stood up and walked out.

"I know, let's go."

But just as she stepped over the threshold, a tile on the eaves that had been in disrepair for a long time suddenly fell down.

If she hadn't been more cautious and reacted quickly, even if she stopped, such a big tile would definitely fall on her head, which would definitely make her head bleed.

Xu Meir's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked up at the roof.

There have been too many coincidences like this recently.

Although it won't take her life directly, she will inevitably be injured and bleed.

She bit her lip and glanced at the darkness in front of her. Even the palace maids beside her turned on the lanterns, she felt uneasy.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? I'll ask someone to repair the palace!"

The personal maid beside her hurried forward to ask.

Xu Meir's breathing became heavy, but she pushed the maid away, and a dark color flashed in her eyes.

"There must be someone in the palace who wants to assassinate me. Remember to report this matter to the emperor and let me investigate it thoroughly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Several little palace maids immediately bowed and saluted.

But no matter how people looked at it, they didn't think it was man-made.

The tile had been there for a long time, and no one had moved it. Everyone was watching, and there was absolutely no way anyone had done anything wrong.

It must be that their queen was too suspicious

. After this little episode,

Xu Meir finally walked out of the palace gate accompanied by a group of palace servants.

Outside the palace gate, Ling Changyue had been waiting impatiently.

Seeing Xu Meir coming out, he softened his expression a little: "It's getting late, let's go."

Xu Meir felt the little emperor's extremely cold attitude towards her.

The two of them have always been affectionate in front of others, but cold behind others.

At the beginning, Ling Changyue agreed that there was only a relationship of use between the two of them.

However, after such a long time

Xu Meir has begun to feel unwilling.

She can see that the little emperor in front of her seems to have another woman in his heart.

She has inquired about some secrets from the palace. It is said that before her, when the emperor was still the prince, he married a princess.

For this princess, the prince disobeyed the emperor's order and refused to marry, and was punished by being confined for two months.

Later, the prince finally got what he wanted, but the princess died of illness

Things in the palace, rumors are one kind, and the truth is another.

Half true and half false, except for the real participants, few people will know the truth.

After all, this was a major event concerning the reputation of the royal family. Therefore, after An Ruxue was beaten to death, the late emperor silenced most people and only said that the Crown Princess died of illness.

This sounds better.

Xu Meir's eyes flashed, and she quickly straightened her chest, and moved over shyly, wanting to hold Ling Changyue's hand.

"Your Majesty, my hands are so cold."

There were many outsiders staring around.

Ling Changyue felt his hand being held by the woman next to him, and frowned instantly.

He felt disgusted for a moment, but he still resisted the urge to show it: "If Concubine Mei is cold, I will let someone carry you over."

Xu Meir lowered her eyes, her tone soft and charming.

"The emperor has dragon energy. Mei'er will not feel cold if she gets closer to him."

Ling Changyue closed his eyes slowly and felt goosebumps all over his body.

Even if he had to be hypocritical with the woman beside him, he still felt disgusted.

His stomach was churning. He gritted his teeth and whispered to Xu Mei'er's ear with a clear warning: "Don't touch me."

Xu Mei'er was stunned, but she was not afraid of the little emperor at all. No matter

who she wanted to seduce, no one could escape her palm.

She also walked while lowering her voice and replied: "Mei'er is also thinking about the emperor. The emperor has not come to Mei'er for such a long time. Outsiders think Mei'er has fallen out of favor. If you continue to be cold to Mei'er, the people in Southern Qi will definitely think that you are insincere and may not be able to help you with all their heart."

Ling Changyue's face froze for a moment.

He tightened his fingers and then loosened them, and then he came to the banquet with anger.

The ministers had been waiting at the banquet for a long time.

The vast majority of officials were accompanied by their families. Many people gathered together today, and the hall was very lively.

When they saw the emperor coming, the ministers stood up to greet him.

Passing through the crowd, Ling Changyue saw An Yunxi and Ling Fengyan who were dressed up to attend the banquet.

The two men sat quietly at the head of the officials, not far from his dragon throne.

It's been a long time since we last met.

This was the first time An Yunxi had appeared after giving birth.

Her face had a more mature look, like a beautiful jade that had been carefully carved. The charm between her eyebrows was even stronger than before.

Even her gestures were full of charm.

Ling Changyue's legs stopped involuntarily and he stood in front of An Yunxi.

He couldn't help but want to look at her a few more times.

But when he thought that she had given birth to a child for Ling Fengxun, Ling Changyue's heart ached. The corners of his lips trembled, and he suddenly said, "I didn't expect that even after giving birth to a child, the princess's appearance remained the same."

An Yunxi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect to hear such a sentence.

She didn't continue to sit down, but stood up.

Ling Fengxun beside her also stood up from the chair with her.

She opened her red lips and said, "Your Majesty is really good at talking. I will take this as a compliment to me."

Ling Changyue was stunned and immediately realized that he had spoken out of turn.

In front of so many people, in such a formal occasion, he openly commented on other people's appearance. It was definitely not what an emperor should do.

Fortunately, An Yunxi gave him a step down.

He immediately concealed all the turbulent emotions in his heart and retracted his gaze.

At this moment, Ling Changyue felt extremely sad, his Adam's apple rolled, but he could not say anything.

Suddenly, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door.

"Your Highness Prince Xi, Your Highness Prince Yu is here!"

This announcement made the hall quiet for a moment.

Only Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of the door, and raised the corners of his lips.

They are all here!
