The guard hurriedly knelt down with the silver in his hands, his mouth wide open."Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What's your name?" Nalan Baiqiong asked curiously. This person was not only lucky, he probably had the ability to remember everything he saw. It was too much of a waste to be a guard.
"My surname is Chen, and I am the sixth in my family, so everyone calls me Chen He Little Six.”The guard answered honestly. His eyes were locked on the silver. He kept smiling and was a little absent-minded. He was probably thinking about how to spend it later.
Nalan Baiqiong glanced at Shen Yanxi and she immediately replied with an understanding expression. Nalan Baiqiong then asked the guard to leave.
Nalan Baiqiong hadn't gone for a walk at night for a long time because of the Night Kill incident. He thought that since today was Nalan Baiyao's big day, there shouldn't be any more trouble, so he walked around with Shen Yanxi.
"How is Night Kill?"
"He was locked in the dungeon. According to His Majesty, there was no more torture. A few days ago, he asked for a flute, and this subject also got someone to give it to him.”Shen Yanxi knew about what happened five years ago. His Majesty was indeed in the wrong. Besides, she was not seriously injured. That day, when she heard him play the flute in a building, she was touched.
"He won't escape, right?" Nalan Baiqiong didn't want to kill anyone, but when he thought of the ticking time bomb that was locked beside him, he was a little afraid. The longsword that was used to kill people day and night almost pierced into his chest. It was the first time that Nalan Baiqiong truly experienced the fear of death.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've already strictly guarded him. The people who bring him food every day are all trusted secret guards.”
Nalan Baiqiong nodded. Shen Yanxi was very confident in her work. Suddenly, Shen Yanxi pulled Nalan Baiqiong's sleeve and made a shushing gesture.
What was going on? Could there be another assassin? Nalan Baiyao didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
Shen Yanxi went to take a look first, then turned around and told Nalan Baiqiong about the situation in a low voice,""I see, that's the Second Princess and... Lord Qingwu."
Nalan Baiyao? Tonight was her and Tang Tianyuan's big day. Why did she come to the palace to see Lou Chen? He knew that there was something fishy going on between the two of them, but he refused to admit it no matter what.
The two of them tiptoed over. Under the rockery, two people were talking.
"Today, I…They're married." The two of them were half a meter away from each other, their heads lowered.
"I know." This was Lou Chen's voice." If you marry Second Young Master Tang as Nalan Baiqiong wishes, she will definitely relax.”
"Are you angry with me?" Nalan Baiyao asked after a long while.”
Lou Chen was also silent for a long time before he said,"No, does Your Highness have a new plan for Nalan Baiqiong?”
"You're angry…" Nalan Baiyao smiled sorrowfully." It's been a long time since you've called me that.”
"Your Highness…" Lou Chen lowered his eyes and avoided her outstretched hand." Today…" Did Your Highness come personally today to ask me about what happened that night?”
"I..." Nalan Baiyao wanted to say that she missed him, but she didn't say anything in the end." Yes, do you think their guesses have any basis?”
" I've thought about it carefully. That night, Nalan Baiqiong drank a lot of wine. I invited her to Winter Lodge and prepared pear blossom wine. She leaned on the table to rest for a while. I urged her to get up and drink. I poured her a glass of pear blossom wine, but she said that she was allergic to alcohol…Your Highness, do you know what alcohol allergy is?”
The two of them discussed alcohol allergy for a while. Nalan Baiqiong's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He had been exposed! He was going to be exposed!
Shen Yanxi felt that Nalan Baiqiong's emotions were a little unstable. She gently held Nalan Baiqiong's hand and signaled her to calm down with her eyes.
Lou Chen continued,"She even pounced on me and said something about being heartbroken…"
"She pounced on you?" Nalan Baiyao raised her voice. Clearly, her focus was on the first sentence.
"Your Highness!" Lou Chen immediately signaled her to keep quiet. He hesitated for a moment before explaining," I didn't do anything else. The wine glass fell to the ground and shattered. Shen Yanxi and Li Bing came in while Nalan Baiqiong left in a daze. It was also from this night onwards that she seemed to have changed into a different person.”
Nalan Baiyao came back to her senses and pondered for a while.""In that case, it's impossible that someone else has changed?”
Lou Chen nodded.
"Nothing happened on her way back. Li Bing confirmed it.”Nalan Baiyao murmured," What's with the alcohol? What triggered her?"
If they had a brain, they might have already thought of reincarnating into a corpse or something. Naturally, there were no loopholes in their bodies. Even a blood test would be fine, but what if they asked about their childhood stories? Nalan Baiqiong knew nothing about the original owner's memories. She only knew some stories about her falling out with Nalan Baiyao.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should go back.”Lou Chen looked around and said.
Nalan Baiyao looked at him deeply and said,""Ah Chen, I…"
"Your Highness, Nalan Baiqiong asked me several times if I was willing to return to your side.”Lou Chen suddenly said.
"She... How did you answer?"
"Your Highness sent me to the palace and witnessed Nalan Baiqiong's fatuous, incompetent, and brutal ways. I made up my mind to eliminate evil for the people. As long as she isn't eliminated, how can I waste His Highness 'plan and leave the palace? But in the past three or four months, I've heard and seen some things.”Lou Chen seemed hesitant.
Nalan Baiyao was stunned and asked,"You…" You don't want to kill her?"
"If she really turned over a new leaf, if she had her reasons for doing what she did in the past…" Lou Chen didn't continue.
Nalan Baiyao sneered.""Sister is the best at acting. Will Ah Chen be deceived too?”
"Thus, I want to observe for a few more days. If Xianming is just Nalan Baiqiong's act, then even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will kill her. I will not come to this palace for nothing.”Lou Chen had already made his decision.
"If she really turns over a new leaf and becomes a wise ruler, what will you do?”Nalan Baiyao asked," So many things were set up earlier, and they were all abandoned? Have you let go of all those people who died for our great plan?”
These words were a little sharp, and Lou Chen's expression was not too good."Many people have already died for our great plan. If we continue, there will be many more people who will die. Isn't it good if it continues like this for the past few months?”
Nalan Baiyao looked at Lou Chen in disbelief. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she only spat out a few words,"I'll do as you say and give you some more time.”
The two of them parted on bad terms. After they left, Nalan Baiqiong and Shen Yanxi left quietly and returned to the Asahi Palace. The two of them were silent along the way.
Shen Jingmin saw that the two people who had just returned from their walk did not look too good. She could not help but ask,"What's going on? Which blind person made His Majesty unhappy?”
