As soon as the horse stopped at the gate of the palace, Xuanyuan Hao jumped down conveniently. Su Tong looked at his relaxed movements and maintained the utmost self-cultivation, and then she refrained from kicking him and greeted his handsome face.
She hates bumps!
It's really annoying! Especially when I'm hungry, I feel like vomiting but can't vomit anything out...
"Come on." He stretched out his hand toward her and raised a teasing smile: Su Tong, it seems you have a lot of weaknesses!
"No!" Su Tong waved his hand away angrily, took a deep breath, and jumped off the horse. The hunger in her body made her dizzy and staggered.
Xuanyuan Hao's eyes narrowed, and he reflexively opened his arms to pull her into his arms, protecting her firmly.
The butler who was hurriedly welcoming him was stunned on the spot. He blinked in astonishment and looked at the two people standing at the door. Did he see it right at that moment? There seemed to be something like that in the prince's eyes.
...called pampering.
After all these years, has the prince finally learned how to pamper someone?
"Butler!" Xuanyuan Hao spoke without giving him any more time to speculate, bringing his wandering thoughts back to his mind again, "Have you delivered the custom-made sacrifices?"
"It's coming, it's coming." The butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "It's unlucky to go through the front door with those things. They are all at the back door and are being moved in! Why does the prince ask this?"
Xuanyuan Hao frowned, and he couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands. Su Tong almost couldn't breathe and felt like vomiting even more.
"Tell them not to move!" With a low voice, Xuanyuan Hao's face darkened to the extreme, and he waved his hand towards the butler, "Burn all the embroidery. I will come soon."
"This..." The housekeeper looked over doubtfully, and when he met Xuanyuan Hao's solemn gaze, his face instantly turned serious. He nodded and hurriedly ran towards the backyard.
"I don't want to leave!" Feeling that Xuanyuan Hao was dragging her forward again, Su Tong hurriedly struggled away, "Just deal with it now, I'll take a rest..."
She is hungry and dizzy, she needs to replenish food!
It would be so embarrassing if I fainted due to hypoglycemia here!
"I will come to see you later." Seeing her slightly pale face, Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but worry, but thinking that the batch of sacrifices in the backyard was more urgent, he rushed into the house quickly.
***
Seeing Xuanyuan Hao's figure disappear from sight, Su Tong wanted to raise her feet to enter the house, but out of the corner of her eye she just caught a glimpse of the sweaty BMW standing behind.
By the way, what should I do with this horse?
"Throw away everything! You loser! I'm almost starving to death, and I have to help you clean up from behind..." Su Tong muttered impatiently, and walked slowly to the side of the horse with the attitude of a housekeeper.
She was just about to take its reins when a low emotionless sigh suddenly came from above her head: "My dear disciple, I have finally found you..."
*******
backyard.
According to Xuanyuan Hao's instructions, the servants threw the batch of embroidery that had just been delivered into the fire in the center of the venue. Seeing the valuable embroidery turned into ashes, the servants could not help but feel regret on their faces.
.
The housekeeper stood next to Xuanyuan Hao, staring blankly at the dragon pattern on the embroidery, and was horrified: It's too dangerous! If such a thing is sent to the palace, whether it is a sacrifice or not, it is hard to tell!
Who is so cruel and wants to accuse the prince of "trying to seek the throne"?
"Bury all the ashes and don't spread the flames." Seeing that all the embroidery was burned, Xuanyuan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "As for the things that will be used for sacrifice the day after tomorrow, buy them again."
"Yes." The butler nodded and replied solemnly.
This time he must go and purchase it in person, and he must be careful in every step!
"Your Majesty, someone is coming to the palace!" Before the butler finished speaking, a servant hurried over, reported respectfully, and pointed in the direction of the door.
"Is it really fast?" Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows with a joking look. He walked out to ask about Xuanyuan Jin's arrangements, but when he saw Xiao Guizi standing in the hall, he couldn't help but be startled.
What is he here to do?
"Your Majesty!" When Xiao Guizi saw Xuanyuan Hao, it was as if she had seen a savior. She rushed over without any regard for etiquette. She grabbed his sleeve and said, "The Emperor is critically ill!"
"What?" Xuanyuan Hao frowned and couldn't help but become nervous, "When did it happen?"
"Just now!" Xiao Guizi said tremblingly, "No one in the palace has come to inform you yet, but the empress secretly sent me here. She said that when the emperor became critically ill, she and the second prince were the only ones present. She said so.
You, you must be able to understand."
Xuanyuan Hao froze, and naturally he could understand - it seems that his father's critical illness is probably related to Xuanyuan Jin! Unexpectedly, his desire for the throne has reached such a level that he would not hesitate to harm his father!
He frowned, and while he was thinking, a few cold arrows suddenly shot in. Xuanyuan Hao's ears moved slightly, and he noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the airflow, and he dodged vigilantly, narrowly avoiding it. But Xiao Guizi was not so lucky.
, several other cold arrows sneaked up from behind, shot into his back, and passed through his heart on the spot...
