As soon as Yuan Dai left, Xiao Ling started playing so-called "poker" with Feng Jingyao.
Poker is simple and easy to learn. He has basically understood Yuan Dai's introduction just now, and now that he has started to play, he has almost mastered it.
Feng Jing Yao was just old enough to attack, but Xiao Ling was already familiar with it, and easily beat Feng Jing Yao until he was unable to fight back.
Xiao Ling's playing style of cards is just like his playing style of chess. He is low-key at first, but just when you think he is going to lose, the direction suddenly changes. When you regain your senses, Xiao Ling's cards have been played out.
He is like an extremely patient hunter, luring his prey into prison step by step, taking advantage of the moment when the prey relaxes its vigilance, and delivers a fatal blow!
Feng Jingyao played a few words with him, but he lost miserably in every game. Feng Jingyao couldn't help crying and said: "Brother, please be more merciful."
Although he was always abused by the emperor brother when playing chess, the emperor brother would occasionally let him off the hook and let him play a few games.
Now, Feng Jingyao couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the emperor just got started with this card and hasn't learned how to let it go?
But it's obvious that he plays cards with such mastery.
Xiao Ling's mood had been fluctuating for a while. It wasn't until Feng Jingyao's words rang in his ears that he came back to his senses. He realized with hindsight that he had been playing cards by himself a little while ago, and he was somewhat emotionally involved.
But the image of Yuan Dai and Feng Jingyao standing together kept reappearing in his mind, causing an unknown anger to rise in his heart.
Xiao Ling calmed down and said calmly: "I'll leave it to you in the next round."
Feng Jingyao sat in his seat, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, why has the Queen not come back after being away for so long?"
Indeed, the time they played cards passed so quickly that they didn't notice it, but now looking at the incense burning next to them, it seemed that Yuan Dai had been gone for almost a quarter of an hour.
Xiao Ling stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Feng Jingyao nodded, "Okay."
Xiao Ling strode out and ran into Yuan Dai's personal maid Qiushi. When Qiushi saw him, she knelt down and saluted. Xiao Ling nodded lightly, "No need to be polite."
After finishing speaking, he frowned unconsciously, "Why are you here alone, where is the Queen?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, your Majesty has gone to the icehouse to get ice cubes and grapes by herself. She has ordered her servants to prepare other things here."
"Isn't it okay to let the palace maid do such things?"
"The empress said that she was worried about others finding her, so she had to find it herself."
Xiao Ling nodded, but then he remembered Yuan Dai's bold temperament and still felt uneasy, so he also walked towards the icehouse.
When Xiao Ling walked to the icehouse, Yuan Dai was excitedly visiting the icehouse.
[It is indeed a royal icehouse. Look, it has everything. It is richer than the items in the supermarket. 】
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, this dog emperor’s life is really luxurious.]
As soon as Xiao Ling came over, she heard Yuan Dai complaining about him, and her face darkened instantly.
When did he become luxurious?
The items in this ice room are supplied to the entire palace. Naturally, there will be no shortage of things. How can it make his life luxurious?
Yuan Dai was happily visiting the ice room. Suddenly she turned her head and Xiao Ling's handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her. She was so frightened that she jumped up. She accidentally stepped on something and her body tilted.
, the whole person leaned back.
Just when Yuan Dai thought she was about to have a sweet hug with Dadi, a big hand hugged her. Yuan Dai couldn't control her balance, so her hand subconsciously grabbed Xiao Ling's skirt.
Xiao Ling's elbow exerted a slight force, bringing her to a standing position. However, due to inertia, Yuan Dai fell forward again and plunged into Xiao Ling's arms, smelling the faint ambergris on the tip of her nose.
, my mind is a little confused.
Until Xiao Ling's faint magnetic voice sounded above his head, "Have you caught enough?"
Only then did Yuan Dai react. With a start, she quickly let go of her hand holding Xiao Ling's collar.
Looking at Xiao Ling's chest, which had been wrinkled by her scratches, she touched her nose in embarrassment.
[You can’t blame me, this dog emperor didn’t even make a sound when he walked, but he suddenly appeared and startled me.]
Xiao Ling: "..."
However, just as the two of them were tugging at each other, a eunuch wandered out of the door. There were two red spots on the eunuch's cheeks, and he walked with sloppy steps. He looked drunk.
He wandered to the icehouse and saw the door wide open.
The atmosphere between Yuan Dai and Xiao Ling was ambiguous when they suddenly heard a sound in their ears. They turned around and found that the door was closed.
what's the situation?
Yuan Dai was so frightened that she ran over and knocked on the door. However, the eunuch outside the door was drunk. After closing the door, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Yuan Dai turned to look at Xiao Ling: "What's going on? Why is the door closed? What should we do now?"
Xiao Ling's face was also a little serious. He went up and tried to open the door with brute force. However, in order to isolate the heat, the ice room was made extremely solid. Even Xiao Ling, who had martial arts skills, could not open the door with his bare hands.
Yuan Dai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The temperature in this ice room was more than ten degrees below zero. She would really freeze to death if she stayed there for a long time!
Yuan Dai herself was extremely anxious. When she turned around, she saw that Xiao Ling's condition seemed to be even worse, and his face had begun to turn pale.
Only then did Yuan Dai remember that it seemed to be mentioned in the novel that the male protagonist was claustrophobic!
The reason was still due to his miserable childhood. The princes in the palace often took pleasure in bullying Xiao Ling. Once, they locked Xiao Ling in a closet. Xiao Ling was like a weed in Eastern Europe and no one paid attention to her.
So the closet was closed for three days, and someone from the palace came to clean it. As soon as the closet door was opened, a person rolled out, which shocked the palace attendant.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that it was Xiao Ling who was proton. At that time, Xiao Ling had already passed out due to lack of food and water for a long time.
Later, an imperial doctor was hired, but fortunately, Xiao Ling was lucky enough to have a strong sense of survival and survived.
But the imperial doctor said that if it had stayed a few hours longer, Xiao Ling would have died.
His life was saved, but since then, Xiao Ling has had a psychological shadow on this closed space.
Thinking of this, Yuan Dai quickly walked towards Xiao Ling and looked at him with concern: "Are you okay?"
Xiao Ling closed her eyes, looked painful, and said nothing.
"Don't think too much, take a deep breath and relax."
Xiao Ling tried to take a deep breath, but this method had no effect. The coldness of the ice room and the darkness around him seemed to bring him back to that day again.
The helplessness and despair deeply enveloped him. He felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and his soul seemed to be floating in the air. There seemed to be countless evil ghosts in the darkness, opening their bloody mouths to devour his life.
