Ugly Princess: The Second Marry of the Bloodthirsty Eighth Prince

Chapter 98

Xue Yi spoke the truth, but in the quiet atmosphere, Shangguan Chonglian suddenly laughed lowly, but there was a slight wound in his eyes, he smiled and said: "Do you know, you look serious when you are preaching?" , It's really ugly, and the old masters in the Imperial College are not as verbose as you."

Xue Yi knew that he was just interrupting her persuasion in a teasing way.

"If it were you, tell me, what would you do." Shangguan Zhonglian looked at Xue Yi's suddenly puzzled face, and then said: "If you identified someone, if you were me now, what would you do? ?”

She lowered her head suddenly, fixed her gaze on the pastry in her hand, and said: "If the person I like also happens to like me, I will spend my whole life with her."

"In that case, why do you come to persuade me tonight?"

"But Chonglian, I don't like—"

"How dare you say it!"

Shangguan Chonglian narrowed her eyes and stared at her, seemingly annoyed, when Xue Yi was in a daze, she returned to frivolity, grabbed the package in her hand, and said: "I don't think I have heard what you said tonight. So I kept this food." After speaking, he picked up a steamed bun and bit into it, "The taste is not flattering, it seems that the cook will have to be replaced some other day."

Xue Yi silently watched him eat a steamed bun with several big gulps, then picked up another steamed bun and started to bite.

She stood up and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke, there is no water here." With light steps, she walked out of the ancestral hall.

Swallowing the last mouthful of steamed buns, he listened to the sound of her walking away, wrapped up the two pieces of Butterfly Cake lying in Bao Juan in his hand, and put them in his arms.

Out of the ancestral hall, along the way, Xueyi's mind was full of images of getting along with Shangguan Chonglian during these days.

Walking through the Listening Corridor, passing the Chenfeng Pavilion where Shangguan Chonglian lived, and arriving at the Taolin near the Qiaoxiu Building, I saw a figure walking vaguely from the direction of the Qiaoxiu Building in the night, Xue Yi noticed it in time, and hurriedly Hide yourself in the dark.

But the figure got closer and closer, and it was difficult to distinguish the face under the black cloak, but from the skirt and embroidered shoes under the cloak, it could be seen that it was Shen Bijun.When she came out late at night, could it be that she was also going to see the son who was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall?

It's just that Shen Bijun didn't turn to the direction of the ancestral hall, but walked towards the side gate on the west side of the garden, looking very hasty.Xue Yi was full of doubts, thought for a while, and followed silently.

Followed all the way to the side door, at this time there was no night watchman at the door, the face under the cloak looked around, seeing that she was going to open the door to leave the garden, Xue Yi was even more puzzled.

who knows at this time
"It's late at night, Ma'am is so late, where do you want to go?" Although the hoarse voice was lowered, Xueyi could tell it at a glance.

Shen Bijun under the cloak was startled, and turned around with his heart in his hands to search for the source of the sound. In the shadow of a tree by the door, Shangguan Fenglan was sitting in a wheelchair.

"It's you!" Shen Bijun looked at the man in the wheelchair in surprise, his face was pale under the cloak.I didn't expect that he would appear here so late. The guard at the door had already been dismissed, but he was discovered unexpectedly.

"Madam hasn't answered me yet. It's so late, where are you going and what are you doing?"

Shen Bijun's expression was a little flustered, with a guilty conscience, he clenched his hands in his sleeves, and replied in a panic: "I, I just want to go to the ancestral hall to see Lian'er."

"Really, but the direction of the ancestral hall is just the opposite. Ma'am, don't tell me, you don't know your own way."

"I, I just heard some movement here, so I came here to take a look, because I didn't see the night guard guarding the door, so I wanted to open the door to see if it was locked outside."

Shangguan Fenglan took a deep look at Shen Bijun, under the cloak, the originally fair face looked slightly pale in the dark blue moonlight.

He said slowly: "Ma'am, you don't need to hide anymore. The reason why I appear here is naturally because I know where Madam is going late at night, and I know who and where Madam is going to meet late at night."

Shen Bijun was shocked, "You, I, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"Why does Madam need me to explain, Madam is going to Longfeng Tea House at this time." Shen Bijun was shocked again.

"See you today."

The body under the cloak swayed, and suddenly took a few steps back, leaning against the cold wall, staring at the person in front of him in astonishment.

But at this moment in the dark place in the Peach Blossom Forest, Xue Yi was also surprised.

Although his voice was very low, in this silent night, he could barely hear what he said clearly.

Why did Shen Bijun go to the tea house outside late at night to meet the current emperor?
"How do you know, what else do you know?" Shen Bijun stared at Shangguan Fenglan in astonishment, "Could it be that he told you himself?"

"It's not, but, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. Someone already knows everything about you and the emperor."

"Who?"

"Madam's sister, the current queen."

Shen Bijun was still amazed.Impossible, the number of times she met the emperor was very rare, if her sister found out, she would not be so calm.

Shangguan Fenglan said slowly: "Two nights before New Year's Eve, when Madam lived in Baiyun Temple, the emperor went to Baiyun Temple to look for you. That night, many killers had already ambushed in Baiyun Temple, just waiting to expose the relationship between you and the emperor. The 'royal incest' scandal, and those killers are all queens."

"But the next day, there was no movement in Baiyun Temple?"

"That's because all of you were intoxicated by the ecstasy smoke. No one knows what happened in the Taoist temple that night."

"Then the emperor?"

"What the queen wants is not your lives, but your ruin. If you don't show up, the emperor will be fine. Our people will get rid of all the killers, leaving no one behind."

Shen Bijun stayed for a while after hearing this, and then murmured: "Why, why did such a big thing happen, he didn't tell me anything, he kept everything in his heart, and didn't tell me." His broken appointment was because he went to a certain concubine's bedroom. It turned out that he didn't go, but such a big thing happened. When he found out that her private relationship with him was known by so many people, how could he feel so bad? Did you not tell her because you were worried that she would be unbearable if she found out?But tonight, for Chonglian, she sent a secret letter to him to make an appointment, but he still came.
