Chapter 176: The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (Xia Lingxiao Extra 1)
Interpretation: "Obsession brings disaster, forcing others to hold on to what you love"
The first rays of morning light gently shine into the house through the carved window panes.
Xia Lingxiao, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by this ray of light. His consciousness was still in a hazy state, but his body instinctively stretched out his arm and groped towards the other side of the bed.
"Awu..."
However, all that her fingertips touched was the cold bed, and there was no trace of her delicate and charming beauty.
His movements froze instantly, and he suddenly opened his eyes. His originally hazy vision gradually became clear.
However, his arms were empty, without the love he lingered with before going to sleep.
Xia Lingxiao looked grim. Was it Huo Tingye again?
According to the time, yesterday was clearly the day he and Qingwu spent together.
And how come he didn't feel anything at all?
Just as he was lost in thought, Xia Lingxiao suddenly noticed that the surrounding environment was a little strange.
There was no longer the bright yellow bed that symbolized the supreme imperial power, nor the magnificent and luxurious palace decorations.
What caught the eye was the quaintly carved bed rails, which exuded a faint wood fragrance, and the curtains, simple yet elegant, draped softly around them.
For a moment, his mind went blank, and then a strong sense of shock and confusion surged into his heart.
——This was clearly his bedroom in the Eastern Palace when he was the crown prince, but why did he suddenly come back here?
Xia Lingxiao sat up suddenly. Having experienced Qingwu's rebirth, he could now accept some of the things in the world that were difficult to explain with common sense.
Could it be that... he traveled back many years to when he was still the prince?
What about Awu?
Did she also come back in the same outfit as him, or was he the only one?
So what time is it now? Where is Awu?
Xia Lingxiao was extremely anxious.
His eyes flashed. He had to first confirm what time it was, where Qingwu was, and whether she remembered him or not.
And...that bastard Huo Tingye...
"Someone come here!" Xia Lingxiao called out.
Immediately, eunuchs filed in. "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The eunuchs lowered their heads. They didn't know why, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave people an unusual feeling today. He exuded an unprecedented powerful aura, stronger and more powerful than before.
It was as if he had been on the throne for a long time, inspiring awe in people and making them dare not neglect him in the slightest.
Xia Lingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Awu...has anything happened in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion recently?"
Xia Lingxiao only needed to confirm the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to know the current time period. After all, later on, he re-employed Ningyuan Marquis, allowing him to spend his old age in peace, and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion regained its glory.
The eunuch was stunned by the unfamiliar words he had never thought of, but he reacted quickly. As the prince's right-hand man, he had to know everything that happened in the capital, but at least he had to know a little about the intricate relationship between the major families.
Coincidentally, the recent developments in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion have been quite eye-catching.
"Your Highness, the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion is about to get engaged to the Anguo Duke's Mansion, and the engagement ceremony will be held today."
The eunuch looked serious, thinking that the prince felt something was wrong between the two families.
When Xia Lingxiao heard this, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He kept thinking about Huo Tingye, how could he forget that many years ago, Qing Wu was engaged to that guy, what's his name, who was later in some remote corner, the young master of Anguo!
"Today?" Xia Lingxiao's heart skipped a beat, a sense of urgency rising spontaneously.
There is still a chance, and this time, he must not fall behind again.
Xia Lingxiao immediately stood up with a cold expression and put on his clothes very quickly.
The eunuch stepped forward to help, and with the help of everyone, he gently but quickly put the long robe embroidered with golden dragons on Xia Lingxiao.
Every movement is precise and skillful, buttoning, adjusting sleeves, and tying belts, all done in one go, without any slackness.
After everything was dressed neatly, Xia Lingxiao stood still and looked at himself in the bronze mirror in front of him with a slight nod.
The man in the mirror had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked noble. His gorgeous clothes made him look even more dignified.
After making sure that his attire was flawless, he turned abruptly and strode out of the hall.
His eyes were like torches, revealing unquestionable majesty, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.
The eunuchs inexplicably felt...
Your Highness the Crown Prince...why does it look like you're going to cause trouble?
"Hey guys, if you think it looks good, please give it a five-star rating! Because if no one gives it, it won't go up in points."
