Chapter 386 The Emperor's Attack

After the maids cleaned up for Chen Xi, they respectfully lined up in a row, walked out of the cell, and returned to Murong Hao.

Murong Hao restrained his melancholy and doubtful expression, and with a slight smile, he came to the door of the cell where Chen Xi was.

"Can I come in?" Murong Hao asked tentatively, every time he wouldn't rush into Chen Xi's room, he would ask her.However, every time, Chen Xi ignored him and pretended not to see him.He is the son of heaven, he is the emperor, no one has ever neglected him like this, he should be angry, but in front of Chen Xi, he found that he just couldn't get angry.Not only can't get angry, but it's hard to even frown.

"Chenxi, can I come in?"

Seeing that Chen Xi didn't respond, Murong Hao asked again.

Chen Xi turned her back to Murong Hao, stared at herself in the mirror, and also looked at Murong Hao in the glasses.The Murong Hao in the mirror is far away and very small, so small that she can completely ignore it, but the Murong Hao in reality cannot be ignored by her.

"come in."

Chen Xi's tone was cold.

But this is already very enthusiastic for Murong Hao, Murong Hao noticed the subtle changes in the dawn, and was as happy as a child who got candy.

Murong Hao walked into the cell and stood behind Chen Xi, "Chen Xi... are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will..."

"I'm not hungry." Chen Xi directly rejected Murong Hao's kindness.

Murong Hao felt a little embarrassed, his face was burning hot, he sat down on the side chair behind Chen Xi, and looked at Chen Xi who was looking in the mirror.He knew that maybe Chen Xi wasn't looking in the mirror, she just didn't know how to speak to him, the emperor, or she didn't want to speak to him at all.

The silence made the atmosphere very awkward.

Chen Xi finally couldn't bear this atmosphere, and spoke first, "Your Majesty, didn't you say you have something to say to me?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I have something to tell you." Murong Hao became nervous. He had understood a truth since he was enthroned when he was young, no matter how timid and frightened he was, he couldn't show it.You can’t show it when you go to the court, otherwise people will call him incompetent and stupid. You can’t be afraid when reviewing memorials, otherwise people will still call him stupid and incompetent.When dealing with political affairs, you must not be afraid, let alone be afraid, otherwise others will still call him fatuous and incompetent.Gradually, he has gotten used to keeping his face and showing no expression. Even the closest ministers can hardly see any expression from Murong Hao's face.However, Murong Hao found that in front of Chen Xi, all the pretense he had been used to before was defeated.

Chen Xi turned around and looked at the emperor, as if she was waiting for the emperor to say that when he finished speaking, he could leave.

Seeing Chen Xi like this, Murong Hao's heart ached fiercely.Although it was painful, he still forced a smile, embarrassing, embarrassing, and flattering.

"Chenxi, are you still used to it these days here?" Murong Hao asked her cautiously, afraid that this question would make her unhappy, and also afraid that the answer she gave would hurt himself.

Chen Xi looked up at Murong Hao's eyes, those eyes were covered with a lot of dust because of power and government affairs.But when he looked at the dawn, those eyes seemed to be untouched by any dust, just like when he was a child.

Murong Hao waited for a long time, but Chen Xi did not give an answer.

"Chen Xi, why didn't you answer me?" Murong Hao cautiously probed.

Chen Xi's eyes are still cold, as cold as a small lake in the palace that has been frozen by ice. The lake is still clear, still exudes seductive beauty, and still emits mist, but it makes people who touch it feel bitingly cold .

"It's the emperor who didn't answer me." Chen Xi's voice was nice, even though she was so cold, it was still nice.

"Huh?" Murong Hao didn't understand what Chen Xi meant.

Chen Xi said bluntly: "The emperor once said that he would let me go back in a fair manner, but so many days have passed, and the emperor has not mentioned this matter again."

Murong Hao's face turned red all of a sudden, his eyes dodged a little, and he was a little afraid to look at Chen Xi's clear eyes.

"I... I'm trying to think of a way." Murong Hao trembled as he spoke nervously, this kind of him was a self that Murong Hao didn't even know.

Chen Xi was still straightforward, "Then when will the emperor come up with a solution?"

"Give me a little more time." Murong Hao said to Chen Xi almost flatteringly.

"How long?" Chen Xi's words became colder and colder.

Murong Hao hesitated, if he really wanted to give him some time, he really didn't know how to give it.

"Is the emperor thinking about how long it will take? Or how long does he want to trap me?" Chen Xi tilted her head slightly, making it impossible for Murong Hao to avoid her eyes.

Murong Hao was stunned for a moment, "Zhen...can I answer your question later?"

"Yes, but the emperor had better answer me before tomorrow, otherwise, I will doubt the emperor's intentions to keep me in prison." Chen Xi also couldn't figure out what the emperor's intentions were, but he had something to say about Chen Xi In my heart, I just can't go back inexplicably.Everyone in the entire Wangcheng knew that the young master of the Zhongshan Palace was captured by Concubine Bo and took her to the palace. If she went back without knowing why, what would others think?Even if you don't care about other people's ideas, the business of the workshop will be greatly disturbed.No matter which one it is, it is not the result Chen Xi wants to see.

"Okay, I promise you." Murong Hao answered decisively, this should be the most decisive time he has ever been in front of Chen Xi.

With Murong Hao's promise, Chen Xi seemed to be in a better mood, but she still didn't want to talk to Murong Hao, as if Murong Hao didn't exist at all, she just stared at the mirror and carefully played with her hair.

The soft blue silk is wrapped around Chen Xi's fingertips, just like all the depressions in her heart at the moment, wrapped around her heart.

Murong Hao looked at Chen Xi's profile, such a perfect outline, such fair skin, such a woman must not be from the mortal world, right?Murong Hao was a little lost in thought, when he realized that he was too abrupt, it was too late, Chen Xi had already noticed, and gave her a cold look.

Murong Hao's face turned red up to the neck again.

"Chenxi... I want to tell you a story."

Murong Hao really couldn't find anything to say, but he was very reluctant to let him leave here.

Chen Xi didn't make any response, but Murong Hao saw Chen Xi's slightly rolling eyes through the mirror and knew that she was still very curious.

A smile appeared on Murong Hao's face immediately, he really experienced the feeling of being influenced by others.This feeling made him uncomfortable, but if he was asked to give up, he would never be able to do it.Murong Hao began to tell Chen Xi stories, about the anecdotes he read from books, and about the unimaginable things he heard from memorials.

Chen Xi was led in by Murong Hao little by little, and the expression on his face also changed slightly.

"So I think I have to deal with this matter well, so that that woman won't lose her child again."

Murong Hao talked about a murder case he handled when he was 11 years old.

Chen Xi asked curiously, "Then what happened afterwards? How is that woman?"

When Murong Hao heard Chen Xi take the initiative to talk to him, he was very happy, but he was afraid that his joy would scare Chen Xi, so he restrained himself very much, "Later that woman took her child and married another family, although it was not as good as before. Wealthy, but also live in peace and beauty."

"very nice."

Chen Xi sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Murong Hao nodded, "She can have such a result because of her good cause, and her child also understands that she left his father."

Chen Xi nodded, "If the two of you are not suitable, it would be a good choice to separate. Your Majesty, do you still have a story?"

Murong Hao was stunned suddenly. One was that Chen Xi took the initiative to ask him to be flattered and ecstatic; the other was that he really didn't seem to have any stories to tell.He really didn't want to tell Chen Xi the other mediocre stories, for fear of affecting the image he had built up in Chen Xi's heart with great difficulty.

However, seeing Chen Xi's expectant eyes, Murong Hao couldn't bear to let him down.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xi asked curiously seeing that Murong Hao was a bit embarrassed.

Murong Hao hesitated, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about the details of the story. So many stories are gathered in my mind, I can't remember them."

Chen Xi laughed when he heard this.

Murong Hao felt that this laugh was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.

Murong Hao started telling stories again:
I went on a tour in a micro-service once, and encountered a very special thing.On the street, I saw a lot of delicacies that were not found in the palace, such as peach blossom steamed buns, candied haws, and...

"There are also canned fruits from our Zhongshan Palace." Chen Xi was very excited.

Seeing Chenxi's happy look, Murong Hao smiled dotingly, "Yes, there is also the canned fruit from your Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. It was the first time I ate canned food. It was strawberries. The strawberries looked very big in the can. It's bright red. Even through the bottle, I can smell its fragrance."

"Really?"

"En." Murong Hao nodded.

Chen Xi muttered, "But, the canned fruits in our workshop are all sealed, so it's impossible to smell the aroma."

Murong Hao was slightly embarrassed, "What I mean is that the strawberry looks very sweet."

"Oh, keep talking, I won't interrupt you." Chen Xi listened very carefully with her chin resting on her hands.

What Murong Hao likes most is when Chen Xi interacts with him, and he quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you can talk to me more, it's so boring to always tell stories by yourself. Do you know? I was very happy that day, It seems that the previous years were wasted. Then I saw a very strange person."

"Who? Why is it strange?" Chen Xi was always full of curiosity about things she was interested in.

Murong Hao said with a smile: "It's a young man, he seems to be a little younger than me, he ate from the street to the end, from what he looks like, he must have been sneaked out by some young master to play."

Chen Xi vaguely felt that the young man Murong Hao was talking about was her disguised as a man, but she was not sure.After hesitating for a while, he persuaded himself in his heart that there were too many people on the street, and the strange person Murong Hao was talking about might not necessarily be her.

Murong Hao continued: "I originally wanted that young man to play with me. In this way, we should have more companions. When I was looking for him, he disappeared. But then he appeared again and said that he would Take me to a fun place, I was very curious, so I followed him."

"Then... where did he take you?"

Chen Xi's face was flushed and hot, and she began to think that the young man Murong Hao mentioned was her Chen Xi.

Murong Hao looked at Chen Xi with a smile, "Do you want to know?"

Chen Xi nodded.

"I'll tell you when I come to see you tomorrow, okay?"

Murong Hao said, thinking about what happened that day, the smile on Murong Hao's face faded a lot.
