Life-Robbing Consort - C23

Xiao Lan, who was aware of this matter, snorted coldly in her heart. She didn’t want to offend her superiors, but he had better speak if he called her over!

Inexplicably, within those few seconds, a few traces of worry appeared in Xiao Lan’s heart, as if she was getting along with her cold-war boyfriend.

When Xiao Lan realized the strange thoughts in her heart, her entire body couldn’t help but go stiff. What was she thinking about? What a mess of things.

Xuanyuan Wentian was still silent, but Xiao Lan pretended to be calm and composed as she waited. However, after a long time had passed, Xiao Lan’s heart more or less surged with impatience and panic.

In the next second, Xiao Lan took in a deep breath. Fine, she understands! She knew what to do!

Xiao Lan imitated the manner of the lady and lowered her eyes slightly as she respectfully sat by the side.

Only after seeing that Xiao Lan knew how to greet him did Xuanyuan Yun speak up. However, the first sentence he said was not towards Xiao Lan, but towards the outside of the carriage, like the wind.

“Windy, go to the palace.”

Xiao Lan’s downcast eyes instantly revealed a trace of helplessness. So it turns out that there was no room for the carriage in this half a day. It really was an ink.

Although Xiao Lan was secretly mocking and detesting him, she still keenly caught the two words that Xuanyuan Wentian had spoken, “Imperial Palace.”

Why did he bring her to the Imperial Palace?

Xiao Lan could not help but raise his head and look deeply at Xuanyuan Yun. When Xiao Lan shifted her gaze to his face, Xuanyuan Yun met her gaze in an instant.

Instantly, Xiao Lan’s expression froze, and Xuanyuan Wentian’s eyes sank.

“Are you curious about why I brought you to the palace?”

Xiao Lan’s expression returned to normal and he calmly nodded his head. “Yes, I’m curious. You came to the house of the Marquis to find me as well.”

Hearing Xiao Lan’s words about you and me, Xuanyuan Wentian’s eyes narrowed, but he did not care about it after a moment. She did not even bother to kneel to him, why would she care about the rudeness of calling him ‘me’ or ‘you’ in her words?

Xuanyuan Yun elegantly poured himself a cup of green tea and threw Xiao Lan’s teacup out of the window along the way. “There’s nothing to be curious about. This king will bring you into the palace to end the engagement.”

Xiao Lan had no objections to Xuanyuan, but she had no objections to him throwing her teacup away.

What, do you think she has an infectious disease?

How could he be so disrespectful to others?

When Xuanyuan Wentian saw the hidden anger on Xiao Lan’s face, he immediately felt relieved. That’s more like it!

It seemed like she didn’t want to break off the engagement.

Xuanyuan Yun secretly recalled all the matters regarding his first meeting with Xiao Lan once again in detail and furrowed his brows coldly for a while.

Perhaps he had thought about it too much, but the woman in front of him was no different from the woman in front of him right now.

They were all greedy and cunning, and they loved to climb up the ranks of the powerful and common things. It was just that her methods were more brilliant.

On the day of the royal banquet, she must have deliberately upset the food in order to attract the attention of the emperor. She had also seized the opportunity to announce her identity so that the emperor could remember her, and then she would naturally become the regent’s consort by taking advantage of the emperor’s hatred of him and giving him a great embarrassment and humiliation.

Now that he thought about it like this, everything could be sorted out smoothly. Xuanyuan Wentian suddenly looked towards Xiao Lan. She was really quite smart.

When Xiao Lan suddenly looked at her, her entire body froze. She felt that Xuanyuan Wentian’s gaze was too sharp, it was as if a real knife had stabbed into her flesh.

After a moment, Xiao Lan couldn’t help extending his palm towards his own arm. What was going on? She was actually really feeling the pain, and the pain was gradually worsening!

A murderous coldness flashed past Xiao Lan’s eyes as he looked extremely quickly at Xuanyuan Yun, “You …”

“What? Scared?”

Xiao Lan’s words had yet to leave his mouth when Xuanyuan Wentian’s voice filled with ridicule and disgust directly cut him off.

Afraid? What was she afraid of?

“What am I afraid of?”

It’s me again …

Xuanyuan Yun suppressed the anger in his heart, his voice as cold as a cold pond, “Weiwei, so what if you’ve obtained what you want? In the end, it will all be for naught.”

Xiao Lan was stunned when she heard this. Obtain what she wanted? What did she get? Profound Spirit Bead? But she didn’t even see the shadow of the Profound Spirit Pearl?

“What do you mean?”

What do you mean? The gaze Xuanyuan Yun used to look at Xiao Lan became more and more disgusted. He clearly knew his advisor, “Canglan Yi, you should know in your heart why you went to the banquet that day. Don’t think that I don’t know.”

He knew! Xiao Lan’s heart shook as he looked at Xuanyuan Wentian with an extremely shocked expression. He actually knew!

Could it be that he knew that she was Xiao Lan, knew that she was looking for the Mysterious Spirit Bead, and knew that her banquet the other day was a special opinion of him?!

As he looked at Xiao Lan’s incomparably shocked expression, an expression as if it was indeed true flashed across Xuanyuan Feng’s eyes.

“You are indeed very smart, but you have underestimated this king.”

Underestimating him? No, how could she, Xiao Lan, dare to look down on him at this moment? He, Xuanyuan, not only looked like a monster, he was also a complete monster!

He had brought her from a thousand years ago to a thousand years ago. He had even preserved the memories of how she had pried his coffin from a thousand years ago.

In the end, what kind of thing are you doing in front of Xiao Lan!

After a long while, Xiao Lan tried his best to calm down his shock, and tried to control his voice to become calm and not emit any trembling sounds as soon as possible.

“Now that you know what I want, we can have a good talk.”

When Xuanyuan Feng saw Xiao Lan becoming calm and wise again, the disgust he felt towards her weakened a bit. He had to admit that the woman in front of him was someone whose bearing, courage, and wisdom couldn’t even be compared to most men.

“This king can let you have what you want, but you don’t need to get it from this king.”

Xiao Lan tried his best to stabilize his breathing. What did this mean?

Xuanyuan Wentian had agreed to let her have the Profound Spirit Pearl, but he didn’t have the Profound Spirit Pearl with him? Where is the Profound Spirit Pearl?

Xiao Lan looked sharply at Xuanyuan Yun, “Where?”

Xuanyuan Yun agilely pulled out a thick stack of papers from his side and casually threw these papers in front of Xiao Lan.

“Pick one. No matter who you marry, your wish will be fulfilled. You will become a noble lady and the sparrow will become a phoenix in the blink of an eye.”

Marry? Her wish? A noble lady? A sparrow transformed into a phoenix? What was he talking about?

Xiao Lan’s calm eyes once again looked at Xuanyuan Yun with shock.

When Xuanyuan Wentian saw this, he gave a cold laugh, “Choose.”

Xiao Lan stretched out his hand and slowly gripped the paper in front of him, his sharp eyes sweeping through the contents of the paper.

The detailed information about the sons of officials and courtiers in the capital was clearly recorded in the book. Even the portraits had been brought along.
