Canglan Empress

Chapter 229 Have You Ever Loved Someone
Xuanyin was not sure if the King of War had misunderstood the Lord of Sifang City.

But before she had time to digest these words, she heard King Zhan ask lightly: "Huangfu Xuanyin, have you ever liked someone before?"

"..."

Xuanyin was taken aback for a moment, and raised her eyes unresponsively.

Is this topic moving a little too fast?

"I'm a little bored staying in the palace, and I want to hear you talk about your own affairs." Zhan Wang's voice was clear and elegant, with a hint of loneliness in his indifference, "My younger brother, I liked someone before, but unfortunately in the end... ..."

last what?
Xuanyin asked such a question subconsciously in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

Regarding the disappearance of Zhan Wang's younger brother, Xuanyin had some doubts before, but now hearing the strangeness in Zhan Wang's tone, she was convinced that there must be something hidden in it.

However, secrets usually represent scars, representing many unknown pains.

So Xuanyin would not take the initiative to ask.

As for whether I also liked someone before...

Xuanyin lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, unable to explain the complicated emotions in her heart at this moment.

If she was facing another person in the past, or at this time, she would definitely wrap herself up tightly and never reveal a word.

Because what is right is much more wrong.

Once there are visible flaws in the words, then in the court of intrigue and deceit, among all kinds of colleagues wearing masks.

Even if it's just a person who doesn't deal with often, it may bring her unimaginable troubles.

Besides, she didn't want anyone to know the secrets buried in her heart.

But at this time, for the first time, she had the urge to confide.

Xuanyin squeezed the teacup tightly, a moment of bewilderment appeared in her heart, as well as some undetectable but clearly present sourness.

Zhan Wang's calm eyes fell on her face, and the eyes were slightly bright, but he didn't speak again, but waited patiently for the young man in front of him to adjust his mood.

……

The breeze is rippling, and the summer heat is coming quietly.

Although it was almost the noon when the sun was shining, the boudoir of the noble daughter was spacious and bright. Because the windows were open for ventilation, the room was filled with a comfortable and cool air, and it was far from the time to fan it.

But Ouyang Xue, the first daughter of the Grand Master's Mansion, couldn't hold back her restless mood at this time, feeling that the air and climate today were extremely stuffy, so hot that she could hardly control her temper.

"Suqin, there is still no movement from the front hall?"

The personal maid, Suqin, shook her head, and replied cautiously: "This servant has been watching, so far, there is no news of anyone visiting."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xue couldn't help but look a little ugly, and kicked the stool resentfully.

"Ah." The hard solid wood knocked against her foot, the pain made her face turn pale, tears almost burst out uncontrollably, "Damn..."

"Miss." Suqin quickly squatted down and rubbed her toes, "Miss, are you okay?"

Ouyang Xue didn't speak, she supported the table, and after the pain subsided, she sat down on the chair resentfully, "Tell me, why didn't that young master come?"

Suqin's complexion changed slightly, she really wanted to say that maybe the young master was just perfunctory and didn't really want to visit the mansion, but seeing her young lady's ugly face, she didn't dare to say it.

After all, since returning home that night, Ouyang Xue waited with great anticipation until the next day.
