How could there be someone outside?
It sounds like there are quite a few people.
There shouldn't be anyone here.
Yuwen Xian suddenly raised his hand and covered Xie Lingyu's mouth, "Don't make a sound."
"Your Excellency, when I was searching that area just now, I thought I heard some noises coming from the inner palace."
"The inner palace? This Hualuo Palace is uninhabited. The Emperor has already issued an edict. Even the most audacious person would know not to go to the inner palace of Hualuo Palace."
It was the voice of Eunuch Ni and another young eunuch.
Hearing the voices not too far away, Yuwen Xian pushed Xie Lingyu away again and went to get his clothes. Only then did he realize that apart from the messy bed, everything in the hall was clean and tidy, and there was no trace of his clothes.
Not only him, but Xie Lingyu's clothes were also missing.
Startled, Yuwen Xian looked at Xie Lingyu on the bed and wanted to strangle her immediately. He had actually been making love with such a woman, and was so infatuated that he didn't seem to realize what was happening...
No, he couldn't possibly have been unaware of it.
This is the Flower Falling Palace; no one will dare to break in rashly. There's no need to panic.
After thinking it over, Yuwen Xian immediately called out to the outside, "Qingyi, Qingyi."
However, after calling out in a low voice for a long time, Qingyi still didn't appear.
Yuwen Xian couldn't be too loud, so he suddenly looked at the incense burner. The incense in the burner had burned out, and the wind swept through the window frame, scattering the ashes without leaving a trace.
There must be something wrong with that incense.
He'd been tricked!
Inside the Flower Falling Palace, it was just him and Xie Lingyu.
Yuwen Xian's eyes immediately turned red, and he grabbed Xie Lingyu by the neck, saying, "Tell me, who are you? You are not Xie Lingyu."
"Uh... Your Highness, I am... I am..."
"Dare to lie again." Yuwen Xian, naked, half-squatted on the bed, tightening his grip on Xie Lingyu's neck. "Tell me, who exactly are you?"
"Your Majesty...I...am Xie Ling...cough...Yu..."
Seeing Xie Lingyu's face turn red and her eyes almost unfocused, Yuwen Xian suddenly released her, pointing at the now completely naked Xie Lingyu, "You freak, how could you..."
Xie Lingyu woke up in shock, then was nearly killed by Yuwen Xian's choking. She panicked and could only instinctively reach for the thin blanket next to her to cover herself.
Yuwen Xian had no interest in understanding why Xie Lingyu was acting this way, nor did he care who was plotting against him. All he could think about was leaving this place immediately; he had to leave.
This is the Flower Falling Palace. I thought that the Emperor had long since issued a ban on this place, so no one would come near. But I never expected that, after only a short while, the footsteps would get even closer.
If people knew that he was in here, and that he was doing this with Xie Lingyu...
Yuwen Xian immediately became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, frantically searching for something to wrap himself in.
"Your Highness, there is no one around."
"Search? His Majesty has already issued a decree. I want to see who dares to act so presumptuously in this Flower Falling Palace."
As Yuwen Xian was pondering this, he couldn't help but hear a sound coming from the outer hall.
The person speaking to Eunuch Ni was actually her mother, Consort Lan.
Why did Mother come here? Judging from her tone...
If it were Mother Consort who came, things would be much easier.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Xian breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, he had no manners left. Looking at his naked body, he immediately pulled the quilt on the bed and wrapped it around himself.
"ah."
Xie Lingyu, feeling a sudden chill run through her body, looked at Yuwen Xian with a pitiful and panicked expression, "Your Highness..."
"Shut up, you monster! How long have you been like this? I never knew that beneath your elegant clothes you were so ugly."
"No, Your Highness, please listen to me..."
"Shut up." Yuwen Xian pulled the blanket tighter, his eyes cold.
Xie Lingyu immediately shut up.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps drew closer.
"Someone, open the palace doors for me. I want to see if anyone can just disappear in broad daylight."
"Consort Lan, should we ask the Emperor about this..."
"Mother, it's me."
Before Eunuch Ni could finish speaking, Yuwen Xian leaned against the door and spoke softly.
He had peeked out the window earlier and saw only his mother, Eunuch Ni, and some palace maids and eunuchs, which was why he spoke up.
When Yuwen Xian suddenly spoke, the outside fell silent.
Yuwen Xian thought to himself that his mother was probably also shocked, so he said softly, "Mother, come in alone. I want to talk to you about something first."
"Xian'er..."
"Mother, don't worry. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will find out that I'm here at Hualuo Palace. Right now, there's something more urgent than this." Yuwen Xian believed in his mother's abilities, so he tried his best to calm himself down. On his face, he even began to regain his usual confidence—although his hair was messy, and he was wrapped in a quilt, looking extremely disheveled.
On the bed, Xie Lingyu tightly hugged her naked body, trembling like a sieve.
What if her secret is discovered?
what to do.
She's finished, what should I do, what should I do?
The one outside is Consort Lan, and Consort Lan is definitely on Prince Xian's side.
Then she...
No, she had to make a big scene. Of course, she couldn't let anyone see her like this. Xie Lingyu thought to herself in a daze, then jumped off the bed and used all her strength to pull off Yuwen Xian's blanket.
"Get out of my way," Yuwen Xian hissed, then reached for the door, lowering his voice, "Mother, come in alone first."
"Xian'er..."
Outside, Consort Lan's voice suddenly trembled slightly, as if she was about to say something, but was quickly stopped by someone.
