Your Highness, You Are Reborn - C21
The emperor was stunned. “Which Miss Xiao?”
“Xiao family, Second Miss.” The young eunuch looked at Xiao Yannian and Shen Yingluo, his expression unspeakably strange.
“How is that impossible?”
She leisurely walked over with a faint smile on her lips. There was an indescribable seductive expression on her face that shocked everyone.
“How could this be …” Xiao Yannian took two steps back, as if he was looking at a demon, staring at his daughter who just suddenly appeared.
Xu Shufei looked up and her eyes lit up. Although they were both girls, she couldn’t help but admit that Xiao Yumo’s beauty made many people feel inferior.
She steadied her mind, “Why are you here? Aren’t you poisoned? ”
Xiao Lingyi stepped forward to support Shen Yingluo, and looked at him angrily.
However, the girl who was questioned merely lifted her lips and walked into the hall at a leisurely pace. She stopped in the middle and slowly said, “Extremely toxic?” She looked at Shen Yingluo slowly and innocently, “Aunt, where did you get this news? Yu Mo just woke up a little late, why did you say that he was poisoned?”
Xiao Yumo’s face was filled with suspicions, as though she truly did not know what was going on, and just left Shen Yingluo and Xiao Yannian at their original positions.
The two of them were at a loss for words, not knowing what to do, but Xiao Yumo sneered in her heart.
If she didn’t pretend to be poisoned, she really wouldn’t know that her own father could be this strong.
He had actually brought Xiao Lingyi along with him to this place, in a hurry, afraid that the position of Sixth Prince Concubine would be granted to someone else.
Incomparable mockery.
“What’s going on!”
Long Yan was furious, the Emperor spoke in a low voice, his sharp eyes swept across Xiao Yannian and Shen Yingluo, the displeasure on his face was obvious.
“How can This Emperor not tell that our beloved official has said that the princess has been poisoned? “Hmm?”
As he said that, the emperor slapped his hand heavily on the table. His ending tone was high, causing Xiao Yannian’s body to tremble as he hurriedly explained, “This old subject … This old official does not know either. ”
His old face looked extremely awkward, but he really couldn’t raise his head.
And the complacency on Shen Yingluo’s and Xiao Lingyi’s faces just now had completely disappeared as well. They fearfully stood to the side while holding their breath.
The fury of an emperor was not something that anyone could bear.
In the hall, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen at this moment, making it hard for people to breathe.
Only Xiao Yumo had a relaxed expression, looking at the few of them, her smile gradually deepened.
This sudden turn of events caused Consort Jing to heave a sigh of relief in her heart, as she turned sullen. “Prime Minister, what are you treating Your Majesty and I as? What do you think of this great hall? ”
Every word was like a gem. “This is your own daughter, how could the Prime Minister know that she wasn’t poisoned! What did you want to do after what happened just now! ”
After being pierced through by the Consort Jing with a few words, Xiao Yannian’s face flushed even more red, “It was this old subject’s negligence, I truly made a mistake.”
At this point, it was as if all the explanations had turned pale.
“What a great negligence. To be able to neglect such a huge matter, I can see that you don’t want the position of prime minister anymore!” Consort Jing paused for a moment, her sharp eyes fixed onto Xiao Yannian’s body, stuttering word by word, “Bullying the sovereign, you can bear such a heavy crime?!”
Bullying the king was a capital offense.
Both of Xiao Yannian’s legs went limp as he directly knelt in the middle of the hall with a face full of panic.
Shen Yingluo looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and was completely dumbstruck.
The atmosphere seemed to have frozen over and turned deathly silent.
The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with his hands behind his back. His eyes were half closed and there was a faintly discernible coldness in them.
One moment, two quarters of an hour …
Right at this moment, the Xu Shufei who had been silent all this time walked forward with a smile, and said with a gentle voice, “Alright, since the princess is fine, then this will be the best outcome. Why must little sister grit her teeth and not let go? ”
She turned to look at Xiao Yumo, and couldn’t help but exclaim from the bottom of her heart.
The number one beauty of Chang’an was indeed extraordinary.
“Yu Mo, your father and aunt became so anxious just now. You should be more careful in the future.”
The Xu Shufei helped herself to resolve the situation, the smile on Xiao Yumo’s face did not waver, she blinked her eyes, looking at the three people kneeling on the ground, she sneered in her heart.
With great difficulty in getting a helper, Xiao Yannian naturally crawled down the pole and spoke sincerely, “Your Majesty, it was really a misunderstanding this time. It was all due to this old man’s negligence.”
He kowtowed heavily, his body tensed up, afraid that this ruler of the Nine Five Supremes would take his life if he was unhappy.
Yu Mo…
Xiao Yannian was crying profusely, he seemed to have recovered from the loss and held onto Xiao Yumo’s hand tightly, “It’s good that you’re fine, it’s good that you’re fine.”
Xiao Yumo’s eyes were mostly clear and cold, as she looked at him with half-lowered eyes, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Yumo removed her hand from Xiao Yannian’s hand inch by inch, and asked faintly, “Is father truly worried for my daughter?”
Xiao Yannian nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.
But in the next moment, it was Xiao Yumo’s series of sneers.
She raised her chin and said in a clear voice, “I didn’t know that father had such a hard time.”
“You, how could you say that about your father!” Shen Yingluo was burning with anxiety.
Xiao Yumo tilted her head and glanced at Shen Yingluo in disdain, “Why not?” She immediately took two steps forward, and without any hesitation, she looked towards the person standing above, stuttering word by word, “Yu Mo has been poisoned, and the entire Prime Minister’s Palace is in an uproar. After father heard this, the first reaction he had was not to see his daughter, but to bring the two of them to the great hall at the first possible moment.” When she stopped speaking, her entire body was filled with an uncountable amount of hostility.
“Father, is this how you worry about your daughter?”
With just a single sentence, Xiao Yannian was completely speechless.
“In addition, Yu Mo had never told them that she was poisoned, including news that not a single person in the Fragrant Pavilion knew of it. How did Father and Aunt find out?”
“Can it be that this poison…” She approached Shen Yingluo step by step, and satisfyingly, she saw the panic on her face.
“No, how is that possible?” Shen Yingluo immediately shook her head, and secretly pulled on Xiao Yannian’s sleeves.
