The incident in the Eastern Palace soon spread to the former court.
When Qing Wu and Bai Sui returned, they found that the atmosphere in the East Palace was very serious. The prince rushed back from the former court as soon as he received the news.
At the rockery in the Houxi Garden outside the Toad Palace, Qing Wu asked Baisui to leave the range of the Netherworld Lantern, and then let him act according to the circumstances. She was going back to the side hall first.
Qing Wu took a step forward and her figure appeared in the side hall, and then she saw one more person beside the bed.
The man was wearing a dark court robe and a golden and jade-like appearance. He sat beside the bed and stared at her, not knowing what he was thinking.
Judge's Pen: "Why is your Inkstone here? Why is he staring at your puppet? He didn't think you were dead, did he?"
"Do you think he's so gullible?"
Qing Wu walked over confidently, and when she showed up, she felt mischievous and moved closer to Xiao Chenyan.
There was no emotion in Xiao Chenyan's eyes. He came here after receiving the news about the incident in the Eastern Palace from the Ministry of Revenue. As soon as he entered the side hall and saw Qing Wu lying on the bed, he knew that the naughty ghost had taken the opportunity to stroll into the palace.
He also noticed it when Qing Wu came back.
The main reason is that the "ghost thing" in her body makes too much noise.
He caught a glimpse of a cold green light when she approached. It should be the lamp she was holding.
A gorgeous and charming little face suddenly enlarged in front of him. She came very close, so close that he could clearly see her thick lower eyelashes.
"Xiao Yantai is really handsome..." Qing Wu praised and stretched out her hand to poke Xiao Chenyan's face, but she held back.
"It's useless to be pretty. You're as fragile as a stone, smelly and hard." As she said this, she made a face at Xiao Chenyan.
This grimace was a real grimace. She hooked the corner of her mouth and pulled it all the way to her ears, forcibly stretching her cherry lips into a bloody mouth that could bite off a human head in one bite.
It's really thrilling.
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
His eyes flickered.
Qing Wu's expression suddenly changed, from a ghost face to a beautiful face in an instant, and she said in doubt: "Why do I feel like this guy can see..."
Xiao Yantai could indeed see ghosts, but since she was holding the Netherworld Lamp, this guy should not be able to see it.
The ghost's face changed several times. If he could see her, wouldn't he have seen her making a fool of herself just now? She was so beautiful!
Xiao Chenyan looked at her unpredictable expression. How could he not guess what she was thinking? He wanted to point out her thoughts, but now he had given up.
She thought he couldn't see, but it turned out he could see everything, which seemed quite interesting.
Qing Wu didn't see any clues from Xiao Chenyan's face, but she was still worried. She changed her mind and cast an illusion. Her eyes suddenly turned into two terrifying bloody holes and looked at the man.
The man didn't move, didn't even blink.
"Am I overthinking?" She muttered, stroking her chin.
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
Qing Wu seemed to have put her suspicion aside, but the next moment, she suddenly turned her head, and in the blink of an eye she moved close to Xiao Chenyan, as if she wanted to kiss him on the lips.
"Suck you dry—"
Their lips were almost touching. Seeing that he still had no reaction, Qing Wu stood up and said, "It seems that he really can't see. There is no change in his breathing or heartbeat..."
However, the moment she stood up, the corners of the man's eyes twitched, and the hands in his sleeves curled slightly.
Qing Wu stopped messing around with him. She immediately raised her hand to collect the puppet, took back the Netherworld Lamp, and revealed her own figure.
The man blinked and looked at her naturally: "Are you back?"
"Yeah." Qing Wu's expression was also very natural: "Why are you here? Isn't the Ministry of Revenue busy?"
"I heard that Princess Yan was frightened in the East Palace. King Yan dotes on Princess Yan. After hearing about this, he has no time for government affairs. How can I not come to take a look?"
Qing Wu listened to his expressionless face and his endless nonsense, and chuckled: "I almost believed it."
Xiao Chenyan stood up, looked at her delicate lips, hesitated for a moment before raising his hand, and finally wiped her lips.
"What?" Qing Wu slapped his hand away.
The man's eyes were dark: "You don't look like you've been frightened."
It is so gorgeous and charming that it is no exaggeration to say that it is exciting to watch the show.
"I'm not wearing any lip balm, so it's useless even if you do." Qing Wu glared at him, and took out her powder box as prepared as ever. She lightly patted her lips, thought for a moment, and then patted another layer on her face.
The main character looks pale.
"How is it? Is it weak enough?"
Xiao Chenyan: "...That's enough, he looks like he's been dead for three days."
Qing Wu glanced at him again, put away the powder box, and said softly, "This place is too unlucky, Your Majesty, why don't you help me back home quickly~"
Xiao Chenyan took a deep breath without leaving any trace. Not wanting to watch her affected acting skills, he immediately picked her up sideways.
Qing Wu cried out, hugged his neck, and heard him say solemnly: "Princess, you cannot call yourself this palace."
Qing Wu laughed softly and said cunningly, "Your Highness?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at her and said, "Princess, please stop talking."
Qing Wu pinched him quietly, and after they went out, she became quiet, closed her eyes, and nestled in Xiao Chenyan's arms, pretending to be weak.
When I was about to leave the East Palace, I heard a voice in the distance.
"Chen Yan."
"Your Highness."
The prince had obviously come in a hurry, and when he saw Xiao Chenyan holding Qing Wuxi, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Is it true that my nephew is bewitched by this woman?
"You and I are uncle and nephew, why should we be so polite? It is the fault of the East Palace that Princess Yan was frightened today."
As the prince spoke, he also looked at Qing Wu, but Qing Wu just nestled in Xiao Chenyan's arms and had no intention of looking up, as if she was unconscious.
The prince couldn't see Qing Wu's appearance clearly, but he heard from the palace servants that this Princess Yan was a stunning beauty, so he became curious and wanted to see her true appearance.
After all, he had seen Yun Yujiao before, and she was indeed a beauty.
At the beginning, Queen Yun vowed to use some living person to kill Xiao Chenyan, but the prince turned a blind eye. If this plan could succeed, the sacrifice would be Queen Yun's daughter.
He sighed at the time, feeling sorry for the beauty Yun Yujiao.
Who would have thought that Yun Houxing would lose not only his daughter but also his soldiers.
What was even more unexpected was that, despite being exiled again and again from the Shangshu Mansion, the legitimate daughter, who was abandoned at the beginning, survived safely and became Xiao Chenyan's favorite concubine.
The Crown Prince did not think that the downfall of the Shangshu Mansion had anything to do with Qing Wu. Even though there were many rumors about Qing Wu in Kyoto, and even some weird and supernatural ones, the Crown Prince sneered after hearing them.
She's just a woman, what abilities can she have?
It was nothing more than Xiao Chenyan's plan to push a woman to the front to shield her from the wind and rain.
At least, that's what he thought before today.
However, after seeing it now, he changed his opinion a little.
This nephew of mine with wolfish ambitions might be taking advantage of this woman. I think he must have been tempted by her. Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman. They are all men, how can they not understand men?
"The Crown Princess is the future heir of a country, but she is using human lives to support herself. This is indeed a serious mistake. Since Your Highness the Crown Prince knows that he is wrong, then you should investigate it thoroughly."
Xiao Chenyan was really rude. Just one sentence made the prince break down and the fake smile on his face disappeared.
After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the prince and left while holding Qing Wu.
However, Qing Wu opened her eyes and glanced at the current prince. His face was very green and his eyes were vicious. If looks could kill, Xiao Chenyan would have been shot to pieces.
The Xiao royal family was rich in handsome men, and the prince was also good-looking. Perhaps it was because he had been pampered for many years, and now that he was middle-aged, the prince was a little fat. In addition, his emotions were clearly shown on his face, giving people the impression that he was irritable and easily angered.
After watching Xiao Chenyan's figure disappear, the prince snorted coldly and walked quickly towards the Crown Princess's bedroom. Before he had gone far, he saw a eunuch rushing over.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess said that the Concubine framed her and now she has issued an order to execute the Concubine. Please go and save the Concubine!"
"That stupid woman, how dare she!"
…
Coming out of the East Palace and getting on the carriage, Qing Wu lifted the curtain and looked towards the East Palace, then looked back at Xiao Chenyan and said meaningfully:
"Let me be honest. Do all the men in the Xiao family like to provoke inhuman things?"
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyebrows: "There are also ghosts sucking the prince's yang energy?"
