Chapter 994 The hanging heart finally died
Just as King Xiao said this, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door.
Xiao Wang's expression changed slightly. If the person who came was his personal servant, he would not be acting so furtively.
"Go this way!"
Yun Lengyu lowered her voice and pulled Xiao Wang around the screen behind them to the next room.
After the two walked around, Bu Qingyao opened the door.
Her heart pounded, and she trembled with excitement. "Your Highness, are you alright?"
However, she didn't expect to smell an unpleasant odor as soon as she entered. Realizing that Xiao Wang had vomited after getting drunk, she couldn't help but cover her nose.
Upon hearing that voice, King Xiao immediately recognized the person who had spoken.
"hot……"
King Liang already felt a splitting headache, and now he felt even more hot all over, and indescribably uncomfortable.
The room was dimly lit, and the candles had been blown out by the wind. Upon hearing the man's voice, Bu Qingyao quickly went forward.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
The woman's sweet voice scratched at King Liang's heart like a cat's claws, and he pulled her into his arms.
"what--"
Bu Qingyao exclaimed in surprise, followed by rustling sounds and a woman's hesitant, reluctant rejection.
Yun Lengyu had already walked out of the house. Even though she had guessed what kind of methods the other party would use, she was still an unmarried woman, and it was inevitable that she would feel embarrassed to witness such a scene.
"Your Highness, I take my leave."
Yun Lengyu bowed, then turned and left.
"and many more."
Having just narrowly escaped being tricked, King Xiao was now completely sobered up by the gust of wind.
What he fears most now is being schemed against, let alone such underhanded tricks. How dare Bu Qingyao scheme against him? What does she take him for?
"How did you know?"
Yun Lengyu met Xiao Wang's gaze and said frankly:
"Your Highness need not doubt me; I disdain such methods."
I just happened to overhear Bu Qingyao's plan and thought that the prince shouldn't be used as a pawn, so I just wanted to give him a reminder.
"I just arrived a little late, and I'm worried that if others see me, it will affect my reputation, so this is the only way I can remind you."
At this point, Yun Lengyu paused and said:
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will not utter a single word about this matter; I will pretend it never happened."
Besides, if this matter gets out, it won't be a merit for me; on the contrary, it will arouse suspicion. I hope Your Highness won't drag me into this. Farewell.
After saying this, Yun Lengyu left. King Xiao watched her departing figure without saying a word for a long time.
Now is not the time to question Yun Lengyu, but to deal with Bu Qingyao's matter.
King Xiao returned to the banquet and told Chu Junting about the matter directly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Junting immediately understood what his princess consort meant by "lively," and it truly was quite a spectacle.
The Prince of Liang should still be under house arrest. His release today was by special permission from the Emperor, but he has caused such a commotion. It is easy to imagine that the Emperor will be furious.
The two exchanged a glance and tacitly agreed that the excitement should be amplified even further.
Where did Bu Qingyao go?
Xiao Wang feigned doubt and asked Bu Qingyao.
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked for Qi Qingyao.
Today was the day for choosing a queen for Prince Xiao, and Prince Xiao happened to ask about Qi Qingyao, so he probably has his eye on her.
For a moment, many girls secretly sighed at Bu Qingyao's good fortune. They didn't have such good luck, and they had no hope of becoming Princess Xiao.
"Miss Bu was just here a moment ago, how did she suddenly disappear?"
"Wen Miaozhu, weren't you always with Bu Qingyao? Where is she now?"
Wen Miaozhu was stunned the moment she saw Prince Xiao. Bu Qingyao had clearly chased after Prince Xiao and hadn't returned, so she guessed that he must have succeeded.
As a result, Qingyao has not returned yet, but Prince Xiao has returned. What's going on here?
"I...I saw Bu Qingyao go to the back earlier..."
At this moment, a girl spoke up. She had seen Bu Qingyao leave suspiciously earlier, and at the time she thought that even if she was going to the outhouse, it wouldn't be in this direction.
"Isn't that the side hall where the princes rest?"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. It was clearly the direction of a side hall, and the side halls of the palace were naturally where princes rested; ordinary officials could not go there.
For a moment, everyone's expressions turned strange.
Isn't it?
Consort Liu found it strange that her son would bring up Bu Qingyao out of the blue. He had clearly said before that he didn't like Bu Qingyao, so why bring her up in front of so many people? Wouldn't that cause everyone to misunderstand?
It wasn't until now, when they learned that Bu Qingyao had gone to the prince's resting place, that they immediately realized what had happened.
This woman must have a death wish to scheme against her son!
“Your Majesty, today is a royal banquet. The young lady has suddenly disappeared. We must find her,” said Consort Liu.
The Empress nodded, "Find it!"
At the Empress's command, everyone began to search.
"Meng Qin, how come your cousin just disappeared without a trace at tonight's banquet?"
Gu Huan'er was still holding a half-eaten melon in her hand, her expression full of confusion. "Why did she go in that direction for no reason?"
Meng Qin's expression immediately became indescribable. A very outrageous guess popped into her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. She felt that Bu Qingyao wouldn't do such a thing.
If we really did that, wouldn't the whole family lose face?
"I don't know, but surely nothing unexpected will happen?"
Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "I'm afraid it was an accident she created herself."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qin's eyes widened immediately. "Ruozhen, could it really be what I suspected?"
Song Ruozhen patted Meng Qin, "Come on, let's go and see what's going on."
At the same time, Liang Wang's personal servant was on tenterhooks.
He went to fetch the hangover tea as instructed by the prince, but when he returned, he heard those blush-inducing sounds coming from inside. Even a fool would know what had happened.
He didn't dare go in at all and could only stand outside, feeling extremely anxious.
His own prince was already under surveillance, and now he was sleeping with a girl at a banquet. He didn't even want to think about the consequences if he got caught.
So all he could do right now was pray that the prince would hurry up, and hurry up even more!
Unfortunately, the prince was exceptionally brave, and upon hearing the girl's cries, he showed no intention of stopping.
May Buddha protect us, may Bodhisattva protect us.
The servant kept praying until he saw a large group of people approaching, at which point his anxiety finally died.
Finished!
Why are there so many people here!
