There was still no news about Lian Xin's matter, but the Emperor's side was becoming restless again.
Xiao Lian looked at Situ Manyao and asked worriedly.
"Wangfei, I don't know why the emperor sent the eunuch to find you!”
Situ Mantiao could not help but smile bitterly. She was also very curious. She had not seen Chu Yijing since she came back from the imperial prison. What was going on now?
When they arrived at the hall, Situ Manyao saw Chu Yixuan sitting in the middle of the hall. She shifted her gaze away and looked at another person dressed as a eunuch.
"Eunuch."
Chu Yixuan saw her being so polite to him in front of his father-in-law. Although he was angry, he was too embarrassed to get angry.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and did not speak.
"Aiyo, wangfei, I've been waiting for you. Quick, quick, come with me to the palace.”
The eunuch glanced at Situ Manyao and then shifted his gaze to Chu Yixuan.
"Your highness, I'll bring wangfei to the palace now.”
Although Situ Mantian had many questions in her heart, she did not ask them now. Perhaps she would know why Chu Yijing was looking for her after she left the palace.
"Eunuch, didn't the emperor tell you why he summoned my princess to the palace?”
Chu Yixuan stood up and asked Situ Mantiao when he saw that Situ Mantiao was about to leave without asking anything.
"Your highness, please have a hangover. The emperor didn't say much to me and only asked me to bring wangfei to the palace.”
Chu Yixuan nodded, but the expression on his face grew darker. What was the purpose of his royal brother doing this?
"Wangfei, let's go. We won't be able to make it in time.”
It seemed that his father-in-law was indeed very anxious. Could it be that the emperor had something to ask him?
Situ Manyao had a bad feeling.
Chu Yixuan watched Situ Mantiao leave with his father-in-law, his eyes flickering.
It was getting late. If they entered the palace, they would only be able to return tomorrow.
"Wangye, do you want me to follow?”
Suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere and knelt on the ground to ask for instructions.
"There are many guards in the palace. There is no need to lose your life because of this woman.”
Chu Yixuan pondered for a long time before shaking his head.
If the guards in the palace caught her and knew that she was one of his people, the suspicious Chu Yijing would not doubt his loyalty.
"Tomorrow I will personally go and ask the emperor.”
When the subordinate heard this, he turned around and disappeared. Xiao Lian, who was standing at the side, looked at this scene in surprise and was so scared that she did not dare to make a sound.
"Did the princess do anything unusual today?”
"No…no, the princess consort has been focusing on Lian Xin these few days, trying to find the murderer.”
Lian Xin's body trembled as she spoke. The person she was most afraid of in the residence was Chu Yixuan.
He could easily play with the life and death of others in the palm of his hand.
"Mhm, you may leave."
Chu Yixuan stopped looking at him and started to think about Chu Yijing's motive.
Situ Mantiao sat in the carriage until he could no longer see the residence of the Xuan Prince.
"Eunuch, there are only the two of us here now. Can you tell me why the emperor summoned me?”
"WangFei don't worry, this old servant really doesn't know the emperor's intentions. You can ask the emperor yourself when you reach the palace.”
The eunuch glanced at her and did not say anything. He moved his head to the side and did not speak again.
Situ Mantian didn't say anything else and soon arrived at the palace.
After getting off the carriage, the eunuch escorted Situ Manyao to a door.
"Wangfei, the emperor is inside."
After saying that, Situ Mantiao was about to leave when she anxiously called out to him.
"Aren't you going in with me?”
"The emperor also arranged other matters for this old servant.”
Situ Mantiao stood there and watched him leave, feeling uneasy.
What was this Chu Yijing planning?
"Wangfei, since you're already here, why are you still at the door?”
His tone was calm, and Situ Manyao couldn't tell what he was trying to do.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed open the door.
The first thing that entered his eyes was a table full of food.
Situ Mantian's heart skipped a beat as she stood by the door in a daze.
"Come in. If you don't come in, the food will get cold!”
Chu Yijing had a faint smile on his face. He looked at her as if he was really just inviting her to dinner.
Situ Mantian looked at him warily, knowing that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Emperor, why did you call me here today?”
"It's nothing!"
Chu Yijing sat at the other end of the long table. The two of them were far away from each other.
"It's just that I miss wangfei a little, that's why I specially placed this table here today. Try it, these were all made by the imperial kitchen's master chef.”
Situ Mantian looked at him warily, but she didn't say anything or move.
Chu Yijing seemed to have noticed her vigilance and could not help but smile faintly.
"Wangfei, are you worried that zhen has poisoned these dishes?”
His smile was playful, but Situ Mantiao's expression became even more serious. Could it be true…
"Zhen is a gentleman. How could I do such a despicable thing? Zhen guarantees that these dishes are all poisoned.”
Situ Mantian stared at him for a moment before suddenly laughing out loud.
"The emperor must be joking. You are the emperor, the lives of the people in the world are yours, why would I worry about these things?”
After saying that, Situ Mantiao sat down and started eating.
There was a group of maids serving her, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all and ate with relish.
Chu Yijing didn't eat anything. He just looked up and watched her eat, occasionally taking a sip of wine.
"Princess Consort, what do you think of the taste?"
These were made by the chefs of the imperial kitchen, so how could the taste be bad?
Situ Manyao ate some light dishes that tasted good. It was indeed the emperor's meal.
"It tastes pretty good."
"It's good that wangfei likes it."
After that, the two of them didn't speak anymore. One of them only cared about eating, while the other drank. It seemed like everything was calm, but Situ Mantian knew that there was something else going on.
Situ Mantiao didn't eat much to begin with, but she was already full this time. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Chu Yijing.
"Emperor, now you can tell me why you're looking for me.”
Her eyes were big and clean, without a trace of fear.
"There's no rush. I'll take you for a walk in the imperial garden.”
Chu Yijing had no intention of answering her. He stood up and walked straight to the door.
Situ Mantiao didn't have any intention of leaving with him.
"Not leaving?"
Chu Yijing seemed to have noticed Situ Mantian's strange behavior and turned around to ask.
Situ Mantian looked at him and felt even more uneasy. He kept delaying, and the fear in her heart only increased.
The two of them slowly walked forward. The palace was very big. When Chu Yijing said that he wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest, the sky was not completely dark!
No matter how good Situ Manyao was at holding back, she couldn't do it anymore. She stood in front of Chu Yijing and blocked her way.
"Emperor, are you joking with me today?”
Summoning her to the palace, having a meal and taking a walk, and finally resting in the palace?
Chu Yijing smiled when he saw that Situ Manyao was about to get angry.
"I didn't expect wangfei to be such an impatient person. Today, zhen has called you into the palace for no other reason than wanting you to sleep with me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Mantiao's eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Chu Yijing in disbelief.
"Please don't joke with me, emperor.”
He was the ruler of a country, and she was his younger brother's wife. How could she sleep with him?
If this were to spread, the world would probably become a big joke.
Chu Yijing looked at Situ Mantian from head to toe but did not say anything.
Situ Mantian turned around and was about to leave when she saw that he was ignoring her.
However, the guards beside him blocked her way.
"Emperor, if this matter were to spread, aren't you afraid that it would damage your brilliance?”
Situ Mantian knew that the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded. It was impossible for him to escape with his own strength.
"I was afraid that others didn't know!"
Chu Yijing snorted coldly and walked towards his bedroom. Situ Mantian was carried by the guards and followed behind him.
Later, Situ Mantian found out that the other person Chu Yijing was talking about was Chu Yixuan.
After Situ Manyao was thrown into the bedroom, the door behind him immediately closed.
She couldn't care about anything else. She turned around and wanted to open the door to escape, but the door seemed to be locked from the outside. She couldn't open it no matter what.
He was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Situ Manyao realized that she had been forced into a corner ever since she came to this world.
"Why waste your energy? Do you think you can escape from here?”
Chu Yijing's emotionless words came from behind her. Situ Mantian's hand slowly stopped moving and she turned around with a face full of hatred.
"What's your purpose in doing this?”
She had never thought that Chu Yi Jingxuan would do this himself. She thought that he wanted to ask her about Chu Yixuan's secret.
Who would have thought…
If she had known earlier, she would not have agreed to follow that eunuch into the palace!
"Purpose?"
Chu Yijing curled his lips as if he had heard a joke. He slowly walked to the bed and sat down.
"What do you think?"
He did not answer her question, but threw the question back into her hands.
Situ Mantian looked at his nonchalant face and wanted to kill him with a knife!
Did these two brothers plan to mess with her?!
Situ Mantiao stood there without saying anything. Chu Yijing seemed to be even more interested in her expression. He stood up and walked to her side.
He held her chin with his hand." You shouldn't know about these things. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be. Don't end up losing your life."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 35PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
