Chapter 24: What the heck! Narrow Road!
tter in his hand, rubbed his temples wearily, and closed his eyes for a moment. Under the candlelight, his perfect features, sculpted like a work of art, seemed softer and more handsome.Suddenly, his...She is a bit jealous of Su Qingying now. Su Ziyi truly cares for his younger sister! Regardless, she's determined that this older brother is the real deal!
"Yinger, about tonight's matter, you absolutely must not tell anyone, or else the consequences will be dire." As he said this, his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
Su Qingying knew he was concerned about her, so she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, having lived again, I am no longer that foolish Su Qingying. I understand the seriousness of this matter, please be at ease."
"Alright, it's late. You should rest now. Make sure you don't be late tomorrow."
"Well, brother emperor, farewell."
After Su Ziyixing left, Su Qingying's heart finally settled. Thinking of what her older brother had said to her earlier, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
To come into this world and have a family member care for her and protect her, this feeling is really good.
Two blossoms open, each representing a single branch.
Although the Imperial Guards had been searching for the assassin all morning, they were still no closer to finding him. They had searched most of the palace, but there was still no sign of him. The commander of the Imperial Army was starting to get worried.
A guard reported to the commander of the Imperial Guard, "My lord Commander, we have yet to find any trace of the assassin."
"Could you conduct a thorough search" the commander of the Imperial Forest Army asked, frowning.
"We've searched everywhere, except the Imperial Palace. General, should we also search the Imperial Palace"
"Good-for-nothing! Do you know who resides in the Imperial Palace The Emperor has decreed that one must not disturb the Eastern Mountain Prince, do you want to lose your life!"
"Yes, yes, my lord, it was my subordinate's foolishness." Hearing "beheaded," the guard trembled with fear, "So, my lord, what shall we do now"
The commander of the Imperial Guard glanced at him, “What are you waiting for Hurry up and intensify the search! Search thoroughly. I don’t believe she can fly away with wings!”
"Yes!"
……
In the morning, as night fades and the stars dim, the earth welcomes a new day.
Early in the morning, within the vast and imposing palace, countless eunuchs and maids began their orderly work. The Imperial Guards lined up from the Golden Dragon Hall all the way to the palace gate, each standing rigidly.
Su Qingying was woken up by Xi'er early in the morning. Knowing that it was Emperor Ximing's birthday today, she had been dragged up and dressed by Xi'er long ago.
Although dressing up doesn't really matter.
Today, she wore a crimson floor-length water sleeve pleated phoenix tail skirt, with a light gauze overlay, and a slightly simple drooping cloud bun.
Well, time flies. She should be back to her old looks tonight, with those blemishes gone!
Ready to go, Su Qingying followed Su Ziyix together towards the Golden Terrace Hall.
As she strolled leisurely towards the palace gates, suddenly her body stiffened, and her eyes widened in terror.
Could her eyes be deceiving her Wasn't the man on the dragon throne the same grandson she had served last night in his undergarments What was going on! Could this grandson be the Emperor of Ximing!
What the heck! Isn't this just ironic If she goes in there, she'll be dead in seconds!
Thinking of this, Su Qingying immediately stopped her steps, turned to look at Su Ziyi, and said with anticipation on her face: "Eldest Brother, can I not attend this palace banquet"
"Naughty!" Su Ziyi glared at her displeased. "Our Dongyue was invited this time, you and I must participate. Besides our Dongyue, the future princes of the other two countries will also be here. In such a situation, we must not be disrespectful in front of others."
"That's such an exaggeration! Well, then I won't leave." Su Qingying pouted her lips and could only resign herself to it.restlessly for a moment or two.The already somewhat softened heat was now hardened like stone by her provocation, causing him extreme discomfort. The color of his bloodshot eyes deepened even further,...
