When he heard that it was for Xiao Wu's good, the anger on the emperor's face became less angry, but he still had doubts: "What on earth did you arrange in the palace to make them so scared."
Hua Yanxi said: "It's just some things that the fifth prince is afraid of. My daughter-in-law thought that since he is afraid, he must find someone to accompany him who is not afraid of these things. What do you think?"
The emperor was walked around by her and nodded, feeling that it made perfect sense.
The young ladies who were scared to death raised their heads and looked at her fiercely: "The fifth prince's concubine clearly used the fifth prince as an excuse, saying that she was looking for someone who is not afraid of those things. Is it possible that the fifth prince's concubine is not afraid at all?
"
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows: "Of course I'm not afraid."
"If you are not afraid, then do you dare to go in and try it yourself!"
Hua Yanxi looked at the speaker as if he was mentally retarded: "I designed these levels, do you think I will be scared?"
The young lady said, "That's not necessarily the case."
They thought that the idea might be hers, but at most she could just tell the palace people to do it, but she might not be afraid.
If you want to step on them and elevate yourself, don’t even think about it!
Immediately, others spoke up and echoed.
"That's right, even though you are choosing a concubine for the fifth prince, you have set so many standards, so you must meet them yourself, otherwise we will not accept it."
"Yes, unless you can do it."
Hua Yanxi looked at the emperor: "Father, look at this..."
"What they said is right. Didn't you just say that the level is easy? Then go in and give it a try and set an example."
Liu Xiangyun was one of the people who came out of the main hall. After hearing this, she immediately said: "Your Majesty, what if the fifth prince's concubine can't do it?"
"If we can't do it, we can't do it. Is it possible that we have to drag her down from her position?" The emperor said angrily.
Liu Xiangyun was choked by these words and looked at Ye Yibai with some reluctance.
"Fifth Prince, what do you think?"
She thought that the fifth prince didn't like this woman at all. He probably liked the one who was on the street that day. If she could take the opportunity to drag Hua Yanxi down, then the fifth prince would be happy to see it happen, right?
After all, Hua Yanxi looks like a very strong person at first glance. How could a man like such a woman?
Ye Yibai held up his chin and looked at Hua Yanxi: "I listen to Yanyan."
Liu Xiangyun was stunned when she heard this, and then gritted her teeth. The fifth prince's concubine was indeed as powerful as the rumors, and actually made the fifth prince so afraid that she did not even dare to tell the truth.
When she enters the palace, she will definitely weaken the power of the fifth prince and concubine little by little!
Liu Xiangyun looked at Hua Yanxi: "The fifth prince's concubine is so strict even in choosing his concubine, so he must be strict with himself. Otherwise, how can he convince everyone else? What do you think?"
Hua Yanxi then looked directly at Liu Xiangyun, raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that this girl not only wants to be a side concubine, but also wants to take my place and become the main concubine?"
As he said that, the coercion slowly fell on Liu Xiangyun.
Liu Xiangyun felt her body sink, as if a pair of invisible hands were pressing on her head and shoulders, making her breathless.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't dare. I just feel that if the fifth prince concubine makes things difficult for everyone, she must be able to do it, otherwise she will not live up to her name!"
"There is no need to provoke me. Since you want to let me in, it doesn't matter if I go in. Not only this level, but also the next three levels, I will participate in it together. If I can't pass, I will give up the position of the princess."
Come out to you, but if you can't pass, then just go home."
"Nonsense." The emperor scolded.
"Father, my daughter-in-law will not lose." Hua Yanxi looked confident.
"Am I worried that you will lose? What an honor it is to be a royal daughter-in-law. How can I allow you to gamble like this?"
The corner of Hua Yanxi's mouth twitched slightly. She felt that this was what made him angry. She thought he was reluctant to let go of her daughter-in-law.
"In this way, the five princes and concubines will also participate in this level. If she cannot come out or comes out later than the time you originally came out, then I will personally choose the topic for today's concubine selection. Who or how many will I choose in the end? She
No objections are allowed, how about that?" The emperor said solemnly.
"Your Majesty's famous name." the girls said.
Hua Yanxi looked at Ye Yibai: "You, come in with me."
Hearing this, Ye Yibai didn't say much, and obediently walked to Hua Yanxi's side and stood still.
"Wait, how can this be done? You can do it yourself." The emperor frowned.
Hua Yanxi looked at the crowd: "They all entered together, and when we get there, we will be alone?"
"Xiao Wu doesn't like these things, what if he faints in them?"
"Wouldn't this better demonstrate that I can protect him?"
The emperor wanted to say something else, but Ye Yibai had already taken Hua Yanxi's hand and strode directly towards the palace.
The hall was still dark at the moment, and you couldn't see your fingers. As soon as you entered, the door was locked.
Ye Yibai took out a fist-sized luminous pearl from his sleeve. Suddenly, the originally dark and weird atmosphere disappeared.
Hua Yanxi rolled her eyes at him: "You can't turn on the lights when playing this kind of game. Put it away quickly. Don't break the rules by sneaking around."
Ye Yibai's mouth twitched slightly, but he still followed the instructions and put away the Ye Mingzhu.
Although it was pitch black all around, it was not a problem at all for the two of them who could see at night.
The two of them walked along the front and came to a door. The door was locked by a series of large locks, and the locks were densely packed. There were at least more than twenty locks. There were hundreds of keys on the side. They had to open the door from the inside.
To pick out the keys to these locks, just trying them one by one would take a lot of work.
Hua Yanxi and Ye Yibai looked at each other: "Who has more flowers?"
"Come on." Ye Yibai said, very quickly, he grabbed one of the big locks and twisted it hard.
The lock was immediately broken by twisting, and he went to twist another one.
Hua Yanxi saw this, took out a needle from her body, folded it a few times, fiddled with the keyhole a few times and opened it.
A bunch of keys were placed aside, but no one touched them. After a while, the door was pushed open by the two of them.
As soon as the door was pushed open, two figures rushed forward, roaring ferociously at the two of them.
Just as Hua Yanxi was about to make a move, Ye Yibai bent her body and plunged into Hua Yanxi's arms, causing her movements to freeze in mid-air until she faced the two people in front of her.
The two of them were the palace servants who had listened to Hua Yanxi's instructions and pretended to be ghosts earlier. They were wearing tattered cloth strips and were stained with blood. Their faces were colorfully painted with red paint, and their bodies were dripping with red water.
At first glance, it looks really scary.
Because Hua Yanxi was hugged by Ye Yibai like this, a few drops of red water were splashed on her body.
She looked numbly at the palace servant who was grinning and screaming at her, and lifted up Ye Yibai's back collar: "Ye Yibai, please open it for me."
