Chapter 137 Fudge the Emperor (3)
Xia Gao didn't take another look at her, and turned his attention to Bai Xinran again: "I think you two sisters have finished talking about your sisterhood. Princess Cheng, you follow Prince Cheng and come with me."

After speaking, he turned around majestically with his hands behind his back and left.

"..." Bai Xinran blinked.Is this the rhythm of asking her to 'drink tea'?

He turned to look at his man, wanting to ask for an answer.But Yan Moyu just nodded, didn't say anything, took her hand, walked around the prince and King Fengde, and followed Xia Gao.

And Dequan hurriedly followed.

The masters all left, and Xue Ying and Yin Du didn't dare to stay for long. After paying respects to the crown prince and King Fengde, they also hurriedly chased after them.

Bai Xinbi also bid farewell to the prince and King Fengde.

Prince Xia Yunhao hardly looked at her, and waved her to leave quickly.

But her eyes fell on the leaving figure, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed into a slit, her eyes flickered slightly, her expression was unclear.

While Fengde Wang Xia Lixun was looking at the back of Bai Xinbi leaving, but the corner of his mouth raised a touch of sarcasm.

"Second brother, didn't everyone say that Prince Cheng married a deaf-mute woman as his concubine? According to my opinion, this Princess Cheng is quite different from the rumors." Xia Yunhao suddenly sighed.

Xia Lixun raised his jaw slightly, and followed Xia Yunhao's gaze, the corners of his mouth were drawn, and he asked jokingly: "Why, it's so hard that Brother Huang's taste has become the same as King Cheng's?"

Xia Yunhao withdrew his gaze, his eyes were a little cold: "Second brother, I have a good relationship with King Cheng, so don't take this opportunity to provoke our friendship."

Hearing this, Xia Lixun pursed his thin lips lightly, chewing some kind of unpredictable smile, and proudly walked away from the gazebo with his back straightened out.

Leaving Xia Yunhao standing there alone, after seeing that everyone had left, he let out a cold 'hum', not knowing who he was targeting.

That handsome face with a bit of femininity was now gloomy, as if it was covered with haze.

In the spacious and magnificent hall
Bai Xinran had no time to take care of the magnificent decorations around her, and looked at the majestic middle-aged emperor above with some puzzlement.

She thought she was calling the couple here to do something, but in the end, someone drove her man to the outside room, leaving her here alone to face the emperor's strange eyes.

What is this middle-aged uncle going to do?
"Dequan, show the seat to Princess Cheng." Xia Gao sat on the high seat and instructed Dequan in a low voice.The eyes looking at Bai Xinran were also slightly restrained and serious, revealing a little softness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Xinran saluted him without being polite, and when Dequan moved a stool, she simply sat down.

Xia Gao was silent for a moment, and then said again: "Bai Shi, I already know everything about you, I want to know why you pretended to be deaf and dumb before?"

"..." Bai Xinran was stunned.Why, is the emperor trying to dig out her details?

The problem is that she has no relatives or reasons with him, so why dig her?
"Your Majesty." She suddenly called out coldly. After she finished, she realized that she seemed to be a little rude, so she quickly stood up, and said respectfully to Xia Gao, "My wife grew up in the mountains since she was a child. If you don't understand etiquette, if you are rude to the emperor, please don't blame the emperor."

Xia Gao nodded his chin lightly: "It's okay, I summoned you today, and I just wanted to talk to you. I know you don't understand the rules, so you can just do as usual. I will forgive you first."

Hearing this, Bai Xinran breathed a sigh of relief.With this reassurance, I am a little less cautious.

Correcting her expression, she calmly met Xia Gao's ambiguous gaze, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It was not my wife's intention to pretend to be deaf and dumb earlier, but it was forced by her life experience. The lord can testify for me, it is not that the minister's wife intentionally concealed it from the world."

"Oh?" Xia Gao raised his eyebrows, seemingly very interested, "So you're not disabled since childhood, but you've been pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

Bai Xinran shook her head: "Back to the emperor, that's not the case."

"Why is that? Since you have been disabled since childhood, why can you listen and speak?"

"..." Bai Xinran secretly shed a black line.Is this the legendary broken casserole to the end?
Did the emperor like to gossip about other people's private affairs because he was full and had nothing to do?
The most important thing is how should she answer?

Her man didn't believe in soul time travel. If she told the emperor that she really wanted to, would he say that she was lying to the public?Or just dragged her out and beheaded, saying she was teasing the king?

I have never encountered such a tangled thing in my life!

"What? Is there any hidden secrets that can't be known during this period?" Xia Gao suddenly opened his mouth, breaking Bai Xinran's entanglement.

Bai Xinran sighed, and when she raised her head, her eyes looked up seriously: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, there is indeed something hidden during this period."

"tell me the story."

"Your Majesty, it was true that my wife could not hear or speak in her early years. She had a strange dream two years ago, and when she woke up from the dream, she suddenly found that she could hear and speak."

"There is such a strange thing?" Xia Gao straightened his back, and his majestic gaze was more curious, "Can you tell me what kind of strange dream it is?"

Bai Xinran stroked her forehead in her heart.She knew that the ancients were basically superstitious, so she didn't dare to say that she was possessed by a spirit, because she was afraid that others would regard her as a monster because of fear.Unexpectedly, the emperor is also a pedantic person, and he became interested as soon as he mentioned that he had strange dreams...

"Your Majesty, it's like this. In the dream my wife had, there was an old man with a white beard. He said a lot of words to my wife, and then blew on my wife. As a result, when my wife woke up, she became normal." .”

Xia Gao's eyes brightened: "What did the old man with the white beard say to you?"

Bai Xinran frowned, and shook her head regretfully: "Your Majesty, my wife was just dreaming at that time, and I can't remember many things when I woke up. I only remember that such an old man appeared in the dream. The rest really didn't matter at all. Can not remember."

Hearing this, Xia Gao's eyes showed a look similar to disappointment.Seeing that Bai Xinran was a little annoyed and regretful, he persuaded: "Since there are gods and men helping you, naturally this kind of secret should not be revealed easily, so you don't remember it."

Bai Xinran nodded as if suddenly realized: "The emperor is right."

Regarding the topic of why Bai Xinran could listen and speak, Xu was worried that he asked too many secrets, so Xia Gao didn't continue to ask.It's just that the eyes looking at Bai Xinran are inexplicably more satisfied.

"Master Bai, I heard that King Cheng was injured in Maoshan Village. You saved his life, right?" Xia Gao suddenly asked again.
