Pick up a princess

138 The Big Wedding 21
Unexpectedly, Hongxuan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and smelled her hair, and murmured, "How can this be considered cooperation..."

Only halfway through the words, she froze, and Shen Qing raised her head from his arms: "What's wrong?"

"You left tonight...where did you go?"

"Walking around, I visited the ruined autumn lotus by the way..." Seeing his frown, Shen Qing recounted the fact that she met someone who was worshiping someone and had a chat with the eighth prince Xiyan. Unexpectedly, Hongxuan's expression became more serious.

"Didn't you see who the woman who worshiped was?"

Shen Qing shook her head, and replied regretfully: "The woman was frightened by Xiao Erhei, so she ran away in a hurry, and then the Eighth Prince came, and she thought it was me who was offering sacrifices..." Speaking of this, she couldn't help feeling nervous Yi Lin exclaimed, "It can't be a trap, can it?"

It was strange to choose that time to worship, the woman escaped strangely, and the Eighth Prince appeared strangely...

"This time I made a mistake, you should be more careful in what you do in the future..." Hongxuan was noncommittal, patted her on the back and said in a deep voice, "It seems that it has been too calm recently, everyone is looking for opportunities..."

"But I always feel that the eighth prince doesn't seem to be pretending. He doesn't know about the worship..." Shen Qing pondered for a long time, then shook her head and said, "Could it be the person who worshiped me and the sacrifice?" Did the Eighth Prince fall into the trap together?"

"Old Ba has ulterior motives and has been cultivating his own dark party. It's hard to say whether he's plotting something this time..." Hongxuan stretched out his hand to stroke Shen Qing's hair, his face softened.

"Never be fooled by appearances. If you want to survive in the palace, everyone wears a mask so that others will not see what you think in your heart. Even if you are happy, you have to pretend that nothing happened. Even if you are sad, you can only hide in your heart... ..." He almost murmured, and he didn't know whether he was speaking to her or to himself!
"Then what about you?" Shen Qing raised her eyes and looked into the depths of his eyes, but couldn't see anything clearly...

I don't know why I thought of my elder brother again, does everyone in this world have a side that is unknown?
Hongxuan didn't expect Shen Qing to ask such a question, and fell into a long silence.

It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's just that the time hasn't come...

Ever since his mother's death, he held his mother's cold hand and swore... never to give up the power he had!
