Chapter 121: The puppet controlled by someone



I was afraid that he would make a fool of himself by coughing and be laughed at, so I performed extra hard.

Her only hope was that she could attract everyone's attention and focus, and ignore the cough that Qian Yeming might make from time to time.

Murong Xiao's heart was slightly relieved until the other party gave her a reassuring look that only she could understand.

She just wanted to be married off quickly and didn't want to stay at this palace banquet anymore. Because if she was there, he might stay longer. If the cold weather tonight seriously hurt his lungs, she would be heartbroken.

On the stage, the Queen was the first to applaud, followed by the Emperor, concubines, ministers, envoys, and ministers' families who also gave warm applause.

"Lord Murong, you've given me countless surprises! How did you raise a daughter like this?"

The emperor's words came from the heart. He had to admit that although his princesses were also very outstanding, they were far inferior to Murong Xiao.

It was not until he heard the emperor's words that Murong Qingyu recovered from his shock and palpitations. At this moment, beads of sweat were already on his forehead.

That dance could be said to be a true portrayal of Murong Xiao's life. He really didn't expect that she would be so bold to express her life and mood in such a form and method.

Although it was very successful and novel, it did scare him into a sweat.

Hearing the emperor's praise, Murong Qingyu finally bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Xiao'er usually likes new things. Today's performance is just because no one has seen it before and thinks it is novel."

The emperor nodded slightly and asked, "Murong Xiao, although you have been without a mother since childhood, your father is the Grand Marshal. How did you, a daughter of a wealthy family, come up with the idea of ​​performing such a dance, and perform it so well? Could it be that... you think you are the puppet?"

The emperor's words made the queen and Murong Qingyu's hearts suddenly rise. Although they had already drugged Murong Xiao, they were still afraid of the shameless. If Murong Xiao got upset and told everything about them in front of everyone, it would be a disaster for them.

After hearing the emperor's question, Murong Xiao replied calmly, "Your Majesty, yes."

Murong Xiao's answer was like a bomb dropped on the minds of those in charge. Murong Qingyu tried hard to suppress his pale face, and the Queen, worried about Murong Qingyu and her son, squeezed her handkerchief until it nearly broke.

Murong Qingyun, who was sitting in the audience, kept his eyes fixed on Murong Xiao, but his expression didn't show much worry. He was different from his father, and his understanding of Murong Xiao was also different from his father's.

Given Murong Xiao's personality, she would never do something that would harm others and not benefit herself when she was being manipulated. Furthermore, he was among the people being harmed, and he believed Murong Xiao would never hurt him. However, he didn't know why Murong Xiao acted and spoke like this.

Even Murong Yan, who knew Murong Xiao best, frowned. Her thoughts were the same as Murong Qingyun's. Murong Xiao would never do such a stupid thing, even if she had already escaped Murong Qingyu's control.

"Xiao'er, don't talk nonsense in front of the emperor!" Although Murong Qingyu reprimanded softly, there was a sternness in his tone that must not be disobeyed.
