Chapter 736: Habaek’s “Bride”
Xu walked up to Emperor Yuanxu and stood not too far away, with a look of indifference on her beautiful face.
There were several palace maids standing around, not daring to breathe, with their heads down, pretending to be deaf and blind.
"come over."
Emperor Yuanxu's voice rang out, "I am not dead yet, and it is up to me to decide who will inherit the throne."
This seemingly plausible sentence is full of coercion that anyone who knows the situation can hear.
Xu hesitated for a while, but finally stepped forward.
Seeing this, Emperor Yuanxu showed a satisfied smile on his old face.
Then, he said in front of the palace servants: "When I die, you will be buried with me. I will never let you have anything to do with the prince again!"
If it were in the past, Xu would have been heartbroken to hear this.
But after yesterday, she had let it go and just smiled faintly without saying a word.
This attitude surprised Emperor Yuanxu, and he looked at her again as if he didn't know her.
Xu was open and allowed him to look at her at will.
In the end, no one knew what Emperor Yuanxu was thinking of, but he just snorted and laughed.
"Okay, you're fine."
Because of Emperor Yuanxu's incident, the empress dowager also began to panic. She had no time to find trouble with Xu and stayed in her palace without going out.
Ling Heng and Shi Li became the objects that no one cared about.
The two of them still stayed in the Imperial Commissioner's residence. The Imperial Commissioner had no idea what the palace meant, so he provided the two of them with good food and drink every day, and they lived in peace with each other.
Shi Li had already figured out how to deal with Xu's situation. She moved a small stool and sat under a crabapple tree, drinking tea and eating cakes, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
After a while, Ling Heng brought out a table and placed it next to her. He seriously spread yellow paper and cinnabar on the table and began to draw talismans.
This thing could have been done in the house, but he subconsciously wanted to be closer to Shi Li.
Shi Li listened to the noise and raised her head to look at him.
The young man held a pen in one hand, his thin wrist suspended in the air, his expression serious and earnest, with an aura of abstinence that made people feel itchy.
The more this happens, the more people want to tease her.
Shi Li clapped her hands, picked up a small cake from the plate, stood up and brought it to Ling Heng's mouth, "Ah——"
This action, which is very common in modern times, shocked Ling Heng.
He looked at the pastry beside his mouth in horror, then looked at Shi Li's smiling face, opened his mouth silently, with an expression of inexplicable grievance.
[I also want a boyfriend who is like a little Taoist priest~~~]
[Don't talk about you, I want one too, does the government give it to me? ]
[Country: I hate those crazy people who have no sense of boundaries...]
The two were so focused on each other that they didn't hear the footsteps approaching until the heartbroken voice reached their ears.
"You, you guys!"
The fifth princess who had secretly run out of the palace wanted to see her lover, but she was not allowed to let the imperial envoy know when she entered his residence. She ran here happily, but ended up seeing this scene.
She recognized Shi Li as the young man she had been thinking about at first sight. She was shocked at first, and then heartbroken.
After finally falling in love, I ended up falling in love with a girl. It was like a bolt from the blue.
Shi Li reacted and looked at the pitiful look of the little girl with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but walk towards her.
"Princess, you are a very good girl. Don't cry. Tears won't make you look good."
Shi Li came up with coaxing words easily, and even took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the tears of the fifth princess.
Ling Heng witnessed all this and felt extremely familiar.
So, what did Shi Li learn from Senior Sister Xie Yuan at that time? ? ?
The fifth princess had never been treated like this before.
When the late queen was alive, the harem had a lot of things to do. Although a bunch of palace servants were sent to take care of her meticulously, those people didn't even dare to breathe in front of her, so how could they comfort her so gently?
After the late queen died, no one cared about her anymore.
The Fifth Princess, said to be the most noble princess of the dynasty, was actually a poor child who was neither loved by her father nor her mother.
Now that Shi Li had coaxed her like this, the grievances that she had been expressing in her heart seemed to have finally found a way to vent. She grabbed Shi Li's hand and burst into tears.
Shi Li was softened by the crying. She turned around and gave Ling Heng a look that said "get out of the way", then reached out and gently patted the Fifth Princess on the back.
"If you really want to cry, just cry. You won't feel sad after you're done crying."
Ling Heng, whose beloved was taken away by a girl again: ...
The pen in my hand is in the way, I might as well just break it!
