Chapter 23: Testing
After saying a few words to Xiaoqi, Lin Zhaoyue left the palace.
When he walked out of the palace gate, he saw another sedan chair next to his own.
Her sedan chair was white, exquisite and gorgeous, and it was obvious at a glance that it was Princess Zhaohua's sedan chair.
The other sedan chair was black, with the hanging curtains embroidered with golden patterns, and on the top of the sedan chair there was a logo unique to the Xiao family.
She originally thought that Xiao Tingye had not left the palace.
But when he saw that his personal bodyguard was also there, he became a little confused.
"Sir, Her Royal Highness the Princess has come out."
The personal guard spoke in a low voice respectfully.
Lin Zhaoyue paused slightly as she entered the sedan chair, and then continued to walk inside.
Qianyuan Palace.
"Oh? Xiao Tingye took action?" The emperor was surprised for a moment, then laughed, "That's interesting."
Although Xiao Tingye was a minister he liked very much, he had always been at odds with his daughter.
Fighting openly and secretly, using brutal means.
The two never showed mercy to each other.
So sometimes, he also has a headache.
After all, the two people fighting are people he values.
Xiao Tingye was a scheming kid since he was little. Although he was young, he was very difficult to understand.
Zhao Yue also reminded him many times to be wary of Xiao Tingye.
It is said that this person is very scheming and too sinister, so be careful not to raise a tiger to harm you.
They were sworn enemies...
Xiao Tingye actually stood on Zhao Yue's side and attacked Lu Chenzhou.
"Yes, Prince Lu was beaten with thirty sticks. When he was expelled from the palace, it was people from the Prince's Mansion who came to take him back..." Eunuch Hai said in a low voice.
The emperor pinched his chin. "Why do I feel that Xiao Tingye and Lu Chenzhou have a personal grudge? Even though he holds great power, the man he faces is also a prince. He really doesn't take Marquis Xuanping seriously."
Although the emperor said so, with Xiao Tingye's identity, if he took action, Lu Chenzhou, the prince, would only be beaten.
Xiao Tingye might be afraid only if the Marquis of Xuanping himself was in front of him.
But usually, even if there is a huge difference in status, people will still give each other some face.
Obviously, Xiao Tingye didn't even give him a shred of face.
"By the way, Your Majesty, something happened just now..." Eunuch Hai leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered what had just happened in the imperial garden.
Outside the palace.
Two sedan chairs, one black and one white, ran side by side outside the palace wall.
At this time, the streets were quiet at night, with only the sounds of people carrying the sedan chair and the rings on the sedan chair swaying gently.
"Commander Xiao is waiting for me outside the palace. What's the matter?" Lin Zhaoyue's voice came faintly from the sedan chair next to her.
Xiao Tingye's lazy and cold voice came from the black sedan, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has not yet divorced."
It was like a poisonous snake in the darkness, slowly extending its tongue towards her.
Lin Zhaoyue suddenly remembered the previous subtitles in her mind.
In the original plot, Xiao Tingye would have locked her up in a dungeon...
The hands in his sleeves clenched suddenly.
His expression also became a little unnatural.
She could ignore it before because there were other people in front of her and other things to do.
But now, when only her voice and Xiao Tingye's voice were heard in the night, the danger and fear gradually spread up from under her body like vines, trapping her in circles.
Even though there was a sedan chair between them, she seemed to be surrounded by his presence.
She took a deep breath.
She couldn't understand this man.
But these subtitles are understandable.
She didn't want to end up being this man's concubine as in the plot.
There was no way she would be humble to him. If she wanted to do that, he would rather kill her.
"Are you in a hurry?" she replied indifferently.
Xiao Tingye didn't say anything, but after a moment he slowly said: "If you say so, I am very anxious."
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly.
She deliberately said tentatively, "Really? I'm not in a hurry. After all, there is still some affection between husband and wife..."
He suddenly sneered and said word by word: "Husband and wife relationship?"
[Princess, don't be so stupid! What he cares about most is your feelings for the hero! !]
[Fuck, I seem to see the villain's darkness value rising sharply! ]
[It's been creeping around in the dark for two years now, of course I can't stand it anymore, Princess Pure is dancing around in a thunderous way]
[You're not planning on capturing the princess and locking her up right now, are you? Actually, that's fine too. The villain has a secret room built just for the princess in his house...]
Lin Zhaoyue: “…”
"Well... it's a lie to say that we have a relationship as husband and wife. How can a man like Lu Chenzhou be worthy of my affection?" She said coldly.
"Oh? Didn't Your Highness the Princess say that she also wanted to live a good life with this Prince Lu?" Although her tone was as lazy as before, the pressing sense of danger had disappeared.
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly, "So what? The past is the past, and the present is the present..." She changed the subject, her tone cold, "Master Xiao, aren't you overstepping your bounds? Aren't you talking too much?"
Xiao Tingye didn't say anything.
And Lin Zhaoyue also tried to find out.
As the subtitles said, Xiao Tingye had the biggest reaction to Lu Chenzhou's incident.
Especially his feelings for Lu Chenzhou.
If not, then everything will be calm.
If there is...
He was also in danger.
She recalled that when she and Xiao Tingye had quarreled in the past, although Xiao Tingye mentioned Lu Chenzhou many times and cursed him harshly.
But the most unpleasant moment was when he was protecting Lu Chenzhou.
If it's as the subtitles say, he's been enduring for two years...
If I provoke him now, it will only make him go crazy in advance.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to raid Xiao Tingye’s house first.
Along the way, Xiao Tingye didn't say anything else.
Not speaking is not a problem.
The problem is, Xiao Tingye's sedan chair followed the princess's sedan chair so openly.
Because the relationship between the two has always been bad, Feng Mian has always been wary of the people around him, following closely beside the sedan chair, not daring to relax at all.
When we were almost at the princess's mansion.
Lin Zhaoyue couldn't help but speak out: "Master Xiao, do you have nowhere to go? Why do you have to follow me?"
What to do with her?
Do I have to go back to the princess's mansion with her?
Xiao Tingye said calmly, "Your Highness, I am worried about you returning home alone."
Lin Zhaoyue suddenly felt powerless, as if she couldn't even slap the sedan chair next to her.
She has many guards around her, so she never needs him.
[Lao Xiao: I want to be close to my wife, but she thinks I’m annoying. What should I do? She’s waiting online very anxiously.]
[The princess' biggest danger right now is you, brother, why are you pretending here?]
Until the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the princess's mansion.
Lin Zhaoyue got down from the white sedan, and although the black sedan also stopped, there was no movement.
She didn't even look at the black sedan chair, and prepared to return home with Mu Ying's support.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Tingye's voice suddenly came from the black sedan.
"Your Highness shouldn't touch a man's illness, but is that true?"
In the darkness of the night, his voice was like the cold moonlight, gently and refreshingly falling.
