The road to whitewashing of the black moonlight of fast time travel

Chapter 20: Dark Chess
After the two left, the hero took her hand and took her into his arms: "Is Yao'er satisfied?"

Zheng Xiyao raised her head to look at the male lead in confusion, only to hear the male lead continue to say: "I punished the important ministers of the court for Yao'er, and canonized you as the head of the four concubines. You are already the most honorable woman in this palace. Are you satisfied? "

The male lead acted as if he must wait for her to answer, for some reason, Zheng Xiyao's spine felt chills, and he suddenly understood what was going on.

She lowered her eyes and replied softly: "The concubine is very satisfied, thank you Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, she almost lowered her head to her chest.

The male protagonist lifted her chin to force her to look up. His right hand had distinct joints, and the hand holding the sword was covered with thin calluses all the year round. When it touched her skin, it would turn red.I saw his clear eyes, staring straight at himself, those pupils were almost unfathomably black, as if they were full of affectionate eyes, and his tender words seemed to make a girl who had just fallen in love indulge in them.

Zheng Xiyao felt calm in her heart, but she looked happy on her face: "Yao'er is very happy."

A gust of breeze blew past, and the fragrance of flowers rushed towards the face. It was originally a warm spring sun, but for some reason, it brought a little chill.

"You're weak, so it's better not to blow the wind. Let's go back first." Then the group of them returned to Funing Palace.

The hero had dinner with her, but had to deal with the border changes.

[Host, are you unhappy? 】The system watched Zheng Xiyao sitting in front of the window in a daze since the hero left, and it was almost an incense stick of time without moving.

【How did he become like this? 】 Zheng Xiyao muttered to himself.

[Host, what's wrong with you? ] The system was puzzled, and then realized that Zheng Xiyao might feel guilty about what happened in the Royal Garden today, and comforted him; 【Even if it wasn't the host at the beginning, the result would not change, and besides, without you, the male lead might not be able to survive.At that time, not only you, but the whole world will be obliterated. 】

【You think I'm guilty? ] Zheng Xiyao sneered, her eyes dimmed, she turned her head to the system that appeared in front of her and said: 【I did what I should do, and I don't regret it.So he wants to use me, and I don't care about getting rid of that Xiao family. ] Zheng Xiyao stubbornly defended.

【ha?What are you talking about, host?Hold on let me digest this. ] The system pauses for a few seconds [You mean that the hero punished Xiao Jieyu just to suppress the Xiao family? 】

[Do normal people put the person they like in the center of right and wrong, attracting open and hidden arrows?Will not care about the life and death of the people around her...] Speaking of this, Zheng Xiyao is worried that once the news of this time spreads, the Duke Qing's Mansion may not be at peace.

[The host... here. 】

[I was wrong, I actually thought he liked me.It's ridiculous. 】Zheng Xiyao clenched her fists unconsciously, her nails clenched her palms tightly, and blood slowly oozes out.

[Hehe, that's good, so I don't have to blame myself for the past. 】Suddenly Zheng Xiyao laughed out loud, let go of her clenched hands, picked up the teacup from the table, and took a few sips.

[Host, are you finally crazy? ] The system saw Zheng Xiyao's weird smile and asked curiously.

Zheng Xiyao calmed down, closed her eyes and meditated.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Zheng Xiyao replied.

The one who pushed the door and entered was the maid next to Xiao Jieyu who had just been punished in the imperial garden.

[Host, this is? 】

【piece. 】

【Host, you are hiding deep enough. 】

Zheng Xiyao ignored it.

When the maid saw Zheng Xiyao, she immediately knelt down: "My subordinate Xin Jiu pays my respects to Miss."

"I didn't expect that the personal maid beside Xiao Jieyu was actually from my Duke Qing's residence." Zheng Xiyao looked at Xin Jiu with interest.

The black clothes perfectly outlined her figure, and her black hair was tied up simply and neatly.A small dagger was pinned to his waist.

The whole face seemed to be frozen, expressionless.

My father knows how to pick people. It's really common to put them in such a huge palace, and people won't pay attention to them.

"The subordinates didn't expect that the lady would recognize it."

"If I didn't look carefully, I wouldn't be able to find it. But when I was a child, I happened to see the shadow guard's mark, which is the blue auspicious cloud mark on your cuff." If she hadn't stopped Xin Jiu's waving hand at that time, she happened to have seen it Mark, I'm afraid I won't be able to find that this is the dark move she was looking for.

"Yes, Miss has good eyesight."

"I didn't expect that my shadow guard's acting skills are good, and the maid who is a fox pretending to be a tiger is really superb in acting."

Xin Jiu raised her head and looked directly at Zheng Xiyao. With unwavering eyes, she said calmly, "This is a compulsory course for shadow guards. Xin Jiu has always been a perfect score in this course."

Zheng Xiyao was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.I didn't expect this shadow guard to be quite cute.

She patted Xin Jiu on the shoulder and said with a smile on her face, "I see, you are very powerful."

Xin Jiu didn't know why, so she looked at Zheng Xiyao suspiciously, and her body couldn't help avoiding Zheng Xiyao's hand.

Zheng Xiyao gave up, subconsciously tapped the table twice and asked, "When were you arranged to enter the palace?"

"Three years ago, when Miss disappeared."

"Oh, three years ago..." Zheng Xiyao squinted her eyes, feeling that her father had the foresight in her heart.

"Since you have been in the palace for three years, it is better to know the situation in the palace. Tell me, who are the people in the harem at present, and what is the relationship between them."

Under Xin Jiu's introduction, Zheng Xiyao learned that there are currently five concubines and her in the harem.Apart from Xiao Jieyu, the grand master's daughter, Xie Ronghua, the daughter of the household servant Xie's family, Huipin, the daughter of the southern clan's Wang family, and Zhang Cairen, a folk wonder woman.

"Who is Zhang Cairen?"

The first three were sent in by aristocratic families in order to maintain their relationship with the royal family.She can understand this.But who is this folk strange woman?How did you get into the palace?
"Miss Hui, I don't know the specific reason for this. I only heard that His Majesty personally conquered the Northwest two years ago and was seriously injured. It was this talented person who saved the emperor. Later, the emperor brought Zhang Cairen into the palace in order to repay her. He is quite trusted by His Majesty."

"It turned out to be a lifesaver." Zheng Xiyao said softly, an unknown meaning flashed across her black and white eyes.

She tilted her head: "how is the relationship between them?"

"It used to be a superficial relationship, but now because of Miss, it should be 'same hatred'."

"Oh, it seems that I also contributed to maintaining the stability of the harem." Zheng Xiyao mocked.

"Did Xiao Jieyu punish you after returning?"

"Jieyu has a bad temper, but if she loses her temper, she won't embarrass her subordinates." Xin Jiu explained.

Zheng Xiyao's face was ugly, and she walked up to Xin Jiu, squatted down and lifted her clothes, and sure enough, there were bruises on her arms and back, which looked like she was beaten with a stick or something.

"This is for you, go back and apply it, and the wound will heal within three days." Zheng Xiyao took out the ointment from her arms and handed it to Xin Jiu.

Xin Jiu didn't want to take it, but Zheng Xiyao didn't give her the right to refuse, and put the ointment in her hand directly.

"Miss Xie for giving me the medicine."

"You deserve it." Zheng Xiyao comforted Xin Jiu, and then waved her to come closer: "After you recover from your injury, there is something you need to arrange, it's..."
