Chapter 8 Raise your head

The lights in Zichen Hall, which had been turned off, were now bright and dazzling. There was a wind blowing through the hall, but no sound could be heard, as if there was deathly silence.

Xiao Rongxi was wearing a coat, half leaning on the soft couch, with a book in her hand, half of which she had flipped through.

This is a playbook, and the story in it is very exciting, but he feels that it is not one-tenth as good as tonight.

Xiao Rongxi sighed softly, not knowing whether he was happy or angry, twisting the page with his thumb and index finger, looking at the two people standing in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"How many times have you two had a private meeting in the middle of the night, huh?"

The clear voice sounded a bit cold at night, and it sounded like the death charm of the King of Hell.

The poppy lay tightly on the ground, her forehead pressed against the thin soft cushion, unable to say a word and shaking like chaff.

The commander of the imperial army next to her was slightly better than her. He probably knew that he would not survive. Instead of begging for mercy, he stared at the superior and sneered, "Your Majesty deliberately set a trap to control the Yu family, right?"

The Yu family is now at its peak, and almost half of the officials in the court are disciples of Grand Master Yu. After Grand Master Yu's death, his son Yu Xinghong inherited his father's business and became prosperous in the court.

The most important thing is that the Yu family and the emperor are not of the same mind, but are on the side of King Chen.

The poppy in front of her is Yu Xinghong’s youngest daughter.

"Yeah," Xiao Rongxi's expression remained unchanged, but he just shook his head, "Isn't it a little too late to realize now? You haven't gone tonight."

The other party was speechless for a moment, and he didn't even know when he discovered the relationship between the two.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Xiao Rongxi smiled.

He stood up from the soft couch, walked to Poppy, rolled up the playbook in his hand, lifted Poppy's chin, and took in her frightened look.

"This face is still very beautiful, but this expression has nothing to do with beauty."

The compliments that came out of her mouth were never taken seriously. Poppy even felt that the person in front of her was heartless.

She looked into Xiao Rongxi's eyes, but all she could see was black. She couldn't help but feel frightened in her heart, and subconsciously moved closer to the others.

Xiao Rongxi's eyebrows were slightly raised by her actions. She seemed to be in a very good mood and said to Fei Liu, "Let's lock them together. It's rare to see a pair of miserable mandarin ducks."

After a pause, he seemed to remember something again, "Let Jinlin go to the Grand Master's Mansion and tell Yu Xinghong that if he is willing to intercede for his daughter, I will consider being lenient."

Sanmian, who has withdrawn, will wait for him elsewhere.

Fei Liu clasped his fists and was about to respond when he suddenly glanced at Nan Zhen, who had been standing beside him silently. He hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Jin Lin is injured. Please run away."

"Huh?" Xiao Rongxi looked at him doubtfully, his expression not seeming to be fake.

Jin Lin, like Fei Liu, was his personal guard. He had excellent martial arts skills and could not be easily approached by others. Apart from being injured in the early years, he had not seen any blood for a long time.

It looked like he was still seriously injured.

Xiao Rongxi waved his hand, indicating that he would make arrangements by himself, and his eyes slowly turned to Nan Zhen.

There is curiosity and confusion in the eyes.

Especially when he saw the large and small bags hanging on her body, and two white buns rolling down at her feet, as if she was fleeing...

When did such a famous figure appear in the palace?

Xiao Rongxi threw the script aside casually, her tone was still casual, but her face was a little more serious, "Raise your head."

He would not underestimate someone who could injure Jin Lin, but when he really saw that face, he couldn't help but be surprised.
