Concubine to conquer the world

Chapter 369 Just a Bodyguard

In order to make her complexion more beautiful, Xia Qingxin deliberately applied light powder.

After everything was done, she put on a fiery red robe and went to Nanye's bedroom.

The moon climbed up the treetops and cast a cold radiance. This radiance merged with the bright lights in the East Palace, interweaving into a pair of glazed night.

The breeze brings a strong floral fragrance, bursting into the nose.

Stepping into Nanye's courtyard, Xia Qingxin smelled the aroma of wine right in front of her.

The aroma of the wine penetrated through the rich aroma of the flowers, making it particularly prominent.

She frowned slightly.

Nanye seldom drank alone, since he got drunk at the palace banquet that night, he was even more difficult to drink.

But soon she dispelled her suspicions, she guessed that maybe Nanye was also happy, so she had a drink or two.

Just as she was about to reach the bedroom door, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.

"Your Majesty, you haven't gone to bed so late?"

Han Mu cupped his forehead and saluted Xia Qingxin.

The moment he lowered his head, his eyes quickly swept over Xia Qingxin. Under the moonlight, he felt that the princess was much more beautiful.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he tried hard to restrain his emotions, for fear of showing any signs of betraying his nervousness at the moment.

Xia Qingxin gathered the outer robe on her body, and the scene of the cold curtain breaking a cherry blossom in the cherry blossom forest and pinning it behind her ear suddenly appeared in her mind.

She felt her cheeks hot, and pursed her lips, trying to keep her tone calm.

"Bengong came to see the prince. Is the prince drinking? That's just right. I can have a drink with him."

After saying that, Xia Qingxin was about to pass over the cold curtain.

But Hanmu blocked his way by moving the country.

He struggled to speak: "Niang Niang, it's already very late, you can go back and rest, His Highness has also fallen asleep at this time."

Xia Qingxin stared at Han Mu closely, and frowned.

"When does Your Highness go to bed every day, this palace knows better than anyone else."

"Besides, the smell of wine is still so strong at this time, how could His Highness fall asleep? Get out of the way."

The expression on Han Mu's face was very stiff: "Your Majesty, Your Highness really"

"Han Mu, you are just a guard"

Xia Qingxin's tone was very heavy and unceremonious, and the meaning in his words could not be more obvious.

Han Mu raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were just so empty.

Looking at the unprecedented complex dark color of Hanmu, Xia Qingxin suddenly regretted the words Guo just said.

This reminded her of some words that she was often seriously injured when her mother was still there.

"You're just a concubine"

"Your mother is just a servant girl in the Xiangfu."

"You were born after your mother took advantage of Xiangye's drunkenness and climbed into his bed."

"However, if you can become Xiangye's daughter, even if you are a concubine, it is God's greatest favor for you."

She looked at the cold curtain, pursed her lips, and spoke softly.

"You said that your duty is to protect the safety of the palace, so you just need to obey the palace's words. If the palace orders you to move out, you should get out of the way."

Han Mu rolled his Adam's apple and nodded.

He lowered his head, so that the emotion in his eyes was well concealed, arched his hands and said: "Subordinate. Obey."

As the voice fell, he opened his legs and took a step to the side to make way.

Xia Qingxin brushed past him, and when she passed by his side, her steps appeared to be in a hurry.

Han Mu just watched Xia Qingxin walk into the door of Nanye's bedroom, his eyes stayed on the door, and after a while, he turned around and walked out of the yard. It seemed that there was a huge stone tied under his feet, making his steps extremely heavy.
