Phoenix Duchess - C23
There was no one else in the Town Hall other than Xiao Qian and the emperor. Xiao Xian looked at the imperial report that Xiao Qian had given him. His cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with confusion, making him unable to guess what the person was thinking.
Xiao Xian looked away from the imperial report. “Wang Renji didn’t say anything else?” Indistinctly, he exuded the aura of a superior, causing people to be unable to breathe.
“What needs to be said, this son has already presented it to royal father.” What he meant was that he didn’t need his royal father to worry about what he shouldn’t explain.
Such presumptuous words would make any emperor furious. However, Xiao Xian merely glanced at the imperial edict and asked, “Is the rumors about you and Dong Ling Wan true?”
“It will all be true in the end!” His tone was flat and certain.
Silence, a long silence.
In the cold and empty great hall, the solemn atmosphere made it difficult for people to figure out what state of mind the royal father and son was in to have such a conversation.
“Overlord, there is no need for love. This Emperor wants you to remember this matter, do you understand? Xiao Qian! ” Xiao Xian didn’t throw the paper and didn’t scold him. Instead, he used his hoarse voice to warn everyone, but it was so cold that it struck fear into everyone’s hearts.
“Your son shall take his leave.”
A month had passed, yet there had been a purge in and out of the imperial court. Wang Renji was greedy for money and colluded with his concubines. He had been punished with death for several crimes.
Dong Ling Wan held her hand as she counted the remaining days. That day, Xiao Qian had given her an inexplicable warning, so Dong Ling Wan stopped. But what should she do now?
He definitely wouldn’t be able to get the money back after giving it to his boss. Even if it was just a small matter, his boss wasn’t short on money. However, Dong Jiu Yu couldn’t afford it. Dong Ling Wan didn’t dare to act rashly again. This time, Xiao Qian let her go, but she had no idea what that person was thinking at all. Dong Ling Wan lay dejectedly on the beauty bed …
After thinking about it, she decided to investigate Xiao Qian’s background again.
On the way, Eastern Ling Wan lifted the curtain of her sedan, and in the coming September, many of the trees had gone bald and their treetops were steep. The autumn wind blew, and the dead leaves rustled on the bluestone path, as the people on the road used a large broom to clean the yellow leaves. It was rather desolate.
Before Dong Ling Wan could enter the second gate, Xiao Nan had already ran out and pulled her to his courtyard to play. The reason why Dong Ling Wan had sent Xiao Nan a greeting letter was actually because she wanted to see Xiao Gan. But now that she didn’t see him, she felt a little disappointed.
“Weak?” Xiao Nan saw that she was not in a good mood, so he reached out his hand to tug on her sleeve, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Princess. Oh right, what did Princess say she wanted to hear?” Dong Ling Wan replied and asked.
“I want to know how you managed to get into an intimate relationship with my dissolute elder brother with a character like yours?”
Looking at Xiao Nan’s shining eyes, Dong Ling Wan smiled. In their past life, it was similar to how people of the martial arts world knew each other, if one didn’t “fight” then one wouldn’t.
Back in the day, when Dong Ling Wan had just moved to the capital, she wasn’t willing to stay at home all day, so she sneaked out the side door while the girl was still enjoying the show.
DongLing Wan walked all the way to the bird market and met Xiao Xun, who also sneaked out of his house. Coincidentally, the two of them fell for the same eighth brother.
The price had also increased from one tael of silver to five hundred taels of silver. Since Xiao Xun did not have much silver with him, and since Dong Ling Wan did not have any silver, Xiao Xun waved his hand and as long as she was able to take out five hundred taels of silver, the eighth brother would belong to her.
If one had to blame Xiao Xun for his bad luck, he could only blame himself for coincidentally running into Dong Yi Chuan looking for his sister. Dong Ling Wan was hanging on Dong Yi Chuan’s body as she used all sorts of strange and coquettish methods to make Xiao Xun click his tongue, and he couldn’t help but think of his sister, he couldn’t have done the same thing in the future, right? Then he would have to die from exhaustion!
Dong Yi Chuan was a spoiled little girl who had gone to heaven. He spent a lot of money to get five hundred taels of silver. With the birdcage in one hand and Dong Ling Wan in the other, he leisurely walked away. This was the first time people had seen the magnificence of the East Palace ever since the East Palace moved to the capital.
What happened afterwards showed that Xiao Nan hadn’t changed into his original appearance, but that Xiao Xun had pampered another person. That person was none other than the person he knew, Eastern Ling Wan.
Of course, that was also the first time that the son of Prince Rongyuan, Xiao Xun, had been slapped in the face with silver.
At that time, Patrol Officer Xiao was known as the devil of the world, mischievous and mischievous, leading a group of children of the same age to commit all sorts of evil deeds. However, he didn’t know what was going on with the little ancestor that day, he didn’t recall that he was the son of Prince Yuan and thus didn’t think that he could use his power to suppress others.
At that time, Dong Ling Wan didn’t come out to meet him, but Xiao Xun went to the backyard to look for someone, but when he saw that little girl’s pale face as she drank the medicine, his heart softened. At the same time, he understood that the ‘drink the medicine’ that this girl had promised him when she was acting coquettishly yesterday had been determined.
Thus, when Dong Ling Wan drank her medicine and waved at him, Xiao Xun sat down beside her. All sorts of thoughts and ideas flashed through his mind as he walked over, but they were all thrown away when the little girl gave him a sweet smile. He felt that such a delicate and lovely person should not have to worry about anything. She was being spoiled by others every day, and Xiao Xun had done the same thing for so many years. However, the heartache she felt when she was young had unknowingly changed. She used a sentence that Xiao Xun had once said: “At that time, I was in her way!”
Xiao Nan couldn’t help laughing when he heard this, “With your personality, you don’t have that kind of magnificent feat like you did in the past!”
“Come to think of it, I really loved to cause trouble at that time!” Dong Ling Wan let out a faint smile, and her voice contained a trace of undetectable helplessness and desolation.
“How did you become so quiet?” Xiao Nan didn’t notice that Dong Ling Wan was acting like this as he asked.
Dong Ling Wan didn’t know how to reply. Coincidentally, a little girl walked in from outside, saying that King Qi had sent someone over. Xiao Nan pushed Dong Ling Wan, “Why do you think his people are here?”
For a moment, Eastern Ling Wan was surprised, but then quickly calmed down again. “Ling Wan isn’t an immortal either, how would I know!”
Xiao Nan smiled, “Please come in.”
A servant came in, looking somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the servant called Ah Ban, Xiao Qian. The servant cupped his hands and bowed to the two of them, “Your Highness, the Prince of Qi has just entered the tea house. Would you like to have some tea with us?”
Xiao Nan’s face was full of ridicule as he moved closer to Eastern Ling Wan’s ear. “Look, you’ve only been here for half an hour and he’s already heard the news. Why would he be so kind as to invite others to tea? We, Hua Rou, are truly amazing. When are you going to be my imperial cousin? ”
“Princess, you don’t dare to say such things!”
Xiao Nan nodded seriously: “That’s true! Go back and tell him that I have a guest. He should save his tea for another day and insist on having someone accompany him to look for second cousin! ”
Dong Ling Wan originally wanted to look for Xiao Qian, but now that Xiao Nan had rejected her, Dong Ling Wan was so anxious that she almost couldn’t speak up to stop him. Luckily, she managed to keep her mouth shut in the end.
“Princess, don’t joke with Ling Wan!”
“Yes!” Yes! Yes! This princess is too talkative! ”
At night, Dong Ling Wan would soak in the hot spring pool as usual. The side of the pool was already open, and even the top of the pool was covered with a translucent brocade. With tears in her eyes and the bright moonlight, she looked extremely elegant and refined.
Eastern Ling Wan opened the screen, inadvertently glancing at the surface of the microwave and couldn’t help but be shocked. She quickly hid inside the screen, pulling the screen tightly.
He didn’t mind looking at it, but when he accidentally looked at it, he actually saw a person in white clothes floating down from the eaves of the house!
