Chapter 67 Understanding the Heart
Eunuch Deng didn't dare to look up at the emperor. He kept his face pressed to the ground. He was so frightened that he dared not say a word.
He also couldn't understand how the secret guards did their job and how they didn't even know about such a big thing happening.
If the emperor had not asked about it yesterday and asked them to check carefully, they would still be kept in the dark.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down." Eunuch Deng lay on the ground and persuaded the emperor.
The emperor slammed the table and stood up: "How can I not be angry? I waited for you for so long, but you didn't even know that you were missing."
"A bunch of rubbish. They don't even know when the Regent left the palace, let alone his whereabouts."
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I will ask them to check where the Regent is." After saying this, Eunuch Deng stood up and walked out of the palace without waiting for the emperor to speak.
He wanted the secret guards to quickly find the whereabouts of the Regent, otherwise not everyone would be able to withstand the wrath of thunder.
At this time, Xie Lingxiao, who had angered the emperor, was sitting in the Luofeng Temple drinking tea leisurely.
Ling Feng would secretly glance at Xie Lingxiao from time to time, and seeing his master's expression, he knew that he was in a good mood.
Xie Lingxiao has been in a good mood since he came back from the Scarlet Flame Temple. I don’t know if it’s because he can be friends with Shen Jingxuan or because he saw Shen Jingxuan’s red cheeks.
Or maybe the physical contact with her gave him a strange feeling, and no matter which one it was, it really tickled his nerves, making him happy and expectant.
He was happy that he had a reason to continue contacting Shen Jingxuan, and he was also looking forward to what they would look like when they met in the future.
Thinking about Shen Jingxuan in the capital and Hao Lin now, they are clearly the same person, but their temperaments and personalities are completely different.
One is law-abiding and observes all rules and etiquette; the other is like a bird out of a cage, free and unrestrained.
Thinking of Shen Jingxuan, Xie Lingxiao's expression softened. At this moment, his eyebrows were curved and his face was full of doting.
He himself didn't even realize that with his contact with Shen Jingxuan, his expression, his heartbeat, everything about him was changing.
"Master, master..." Ling Feng couldn't help but make a sound when he saw Xie Lingxiao's surprised expression.
Xie Lingxiao's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at Ling Feng angrily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't have anything to say, get out."
Ling Feng looked at Xie Lingxiao, whose face suddenly turned gloomy, and didn't know how to start.
How should he tell his master that he looked like a servant in a palace and had seen the maid he liked?
And his master's expression just now was clearly the same as that of the servant. Was he thinking about the girl he liked?
But he took personal care of Xie Lingxiao, and he had never been seen having any contact with a woman.
After hesitating, Ling Feng said, "Master, do you have a girl you like?"
"Get out if you have nothing to do. Where would I find a girl I like?" Xie Lingxiao looked at Ling Feng in confusion.
Ling Feng had followed him since childhood, and the relationship between them was different from that between other masters and guards.
When there are no outsiders around, Ling Feng will be much more casual and will not hide anything.
"But, but..."
Xie Lingxiao said impatiently: "Why are you hemming and hawing? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, fart quickly."
"Master, the expression you just had showed that you were thinking about the woman you like."
"Aer in our house remembers that the maid he liked was the one you just looked like."
Xie Lingxiao was frozen in place by Ling Feng's words for a moment, his eyes fixed on Ling Feng.
Ling Feng was confused by his look, "Master, I'm not talking nonsense. Every time Ah Er told me, the maid he liked was the one that looked like you just now."
"You go out first." Xie Lingxiao pretended to be calm and slowly leaned back in his chair.
"Master?" Ling Feng looked at Xie Lingxiao in confusion, wondering why his master was acting weird today.
"Get out." Xie Lingxiao drove Ling Feng away.
Even when Ling Feng closed the door, Xie Lingxiao's heart was still beating wildly and he couldn't calm down.
He slowly raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, feeling its violent beating.
Is this what love is? Will his emotions be affected by things related to her?
Will my heart beat faster and even uncontrollably because of physical contact with her?
Thinking of what Ling Feng had said before and combining it with what he had just said, Xie Lingxiao suddenly felt that what Ling Feng said might be right.
Does he really like Shen Jingxuan?
Thinking that if it were her, he didn't seem so averse to getting married and having children, and might even be a little eager to try?
Xie Lingxiao kept thinking about his first meeting with Shen Jingxuan, and their subsequent interactions. The scenes flashed before his eyes bit by bit.
The corners of his mouth curled up, never stopping for a moment.
The night sky outside was gradually replaced by light, but Xie Lingxiao was still unable to extricate himself from his memories.
Until there was a knock on the door: "Master, are you awake?"
The smile that Xie Lingxiao had been wearing all night froze on his face for a moment.
He actually thought about what happened between him and Shen Jingxuan in the past for a whole night?
Why is it that after so much time has passed, he still remembers it clearly, as if it happened just yesterday?
Xie Lingxiao laughed at this time. He spent a night figuring out something.
And in his mind, Shen Jingxuan is not only a special existence, she is also the girl he likes... ...
After figuring this out, Xie Lingxiao felt happy. No wonder his personality and emotions were affected by Shen Jingxuan.
Just because she is different in his mind.
He didn't know when, but Shen Jingxuan's light shone directly into his heart, catching him off guard.
"Lingfeng, come in." Xie Lingxiao stood up and waited for Lingfeng to come in.
Ling Feng stared at Xie Lingxiao in amazement: "Master? Didn't you sleep all night?"
"Okay, pack up and come with me." Xie Lingxiao was eager to find Shen Jingxuan.
"Master, where are you going?"
Ling Feng's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Xie Lingxiao's anxious mood.
He sat back in his chair: "Take it easy, I won't go for now."
Yeah, go find her? Tell her you like her?
Thinking of Shen Jingxuan's attitude towards him, Xie Lingxiao gave up the idea.
Their current relationship is not suitable for talking about this, and talking about it will only make Shen Jingxuan further away from him, right?
What's more, she is still so young, how can she know what love is, she will only be frightened.
The hurried footsteps outside interrupted Xie Lingxiao's thoughts: "Palace Master, there are people making trouble outside the palace, and they won't leave no matter how hard we try."
Ling Feng was extremely anxious: "Master, I'll go see what's going on." Then he walked outside.
Xie Lingxiao tidied his clothes and followed him out of the hall.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.
Outside the hall, people from Luofeng Temple were lying on the ground.
In the distance, a handsome young man was sitting there steadily.
If you look closely, you will find that there is a person sitting under his butt.
Five disciples from the Luofeng Temple were stacked together, and their height was just right for the young man to sit.
Shen Jingxuan held a piece of grass in her mouth and sat steadily on the five people.
She lifted one leg and placed it over the other, looking comfortable.
Xie Lingxiao twitched his lips: "Hao Lin, are you here to cause trouble?"
