The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

The solemn atmosphere gave Xue Mingyue a hint of the coming storm.

And when she saw the fear shown by both the palace maid and the chambermaid towards Xie Lang, Xue Mingyue vaguely guessed that Xie Lang must have done a lot of things during this period, and they were bloody things.

It was clear that they did not have this attitude when they entered the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet last time.

Previously, I saw him as a high-spirited young prince; but now, when I look at him, I see the Jinwu Guards and the second-in-command of the Imperial Guards who hold great persuasion. They are very powerful and can win in the contest with the second prince. It cannot be underestimated.

Xue Mingyue never imagined that they were afraid of Xie Lang because he would bite anyone to death during the fight with Xiao Duo.

Xue Mingyue was thoughtful and couldn't help but adjust her mentality to be more cautious.

When she was staying at Zhuangzi, she only thought of him as Xie Jinglan and did not have the feeling that he was the emperor's confidant. It was not until she entered the palace that she got a glimpse of other people's attitudes, which only meant that his power had become stronger.

Then it would be more difficult for her to leave Yongji under his nose.

Xue Mingyue lowered her eyes, and her long and thick eyelashes trembled twice. At this moment, Liu Baoquan, who was leading the way, stopped and said with a smile on his face: "Master Marquis, Madam, please wait a moment, we will go to inform His Majesty right now." .”

Xie Lang said softly: "Yes, thank you."

Liu Baoquan had a look of shock on his face, but he soon returned to normal. He waved his hands and said, "Our family cannot afford the Lord Hou's request for help. This is all the responsibility of the slave."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and entered the palace.

Xue Mingyue glanced at Xie Lang calmly, feeling a little puzzled. Why did Liu Baoquan look like he had seen a ghost if he just said "Thank you"? He didn't say much before, right?

Sensing her look, Xie Lang secretly shook her hand.

He bowed his head and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid."

"..." Xue Mingyue was not afraid. Thinking of the palace servants and maids everywhere, she resisted the thought of asking, took a deep breath, and pinched her arm in her sleeve.

Then she shook her head with tears in her eyes and moved closer to him.

Anyway, I’ve already pretended all the way, so there’s no harm in pretending more.

Soon, Liu Baoquan came out and said with a smile: "You two, your Majesty invites you."

Xie Lang nodded to him, and then directly took Xue Mingyue's hand and walked into the palace. Liu Baoquan, who was following behind the two and saw this scene, smiled slightly. Good guy, you are so flirty with me in front of His Majesty.

This Dingyuanhou is really brave.

He smacked it and hurriedly followed.

Although Xue Mingyue had been prepared for it, she still felt nervous when she actually met Emperor Jingping. Naturally, she was not so bold! He was also startled when he first walked into the palace, but Xie Lang refused to let go.

"...!"

But then I thought about it, 'she' had been imprisoned for a long time, and now she finally reunited with Xie Lang.

It makes sense to cling to Xie Lang all the time under the fear of many days.

Xue Mingyue figured it out and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but she was angry again. She couldn't help pinching Xie Lang's palm hard. If there was something that couldn't be discussed, she had to let her guess by herself!

Why is he so mean-spirited!

Fortunately, Xie Lang still remembered to be measured and let go when he paid homage to Emperor Jingping: "Your Majesty, Xie Lang, pay homage to your Majesty."

Xue Mingyue also lowered her head and saluted him.

"Flat body."

Emperor Jingping sat on the dragon chair, his eyes lingering on Xue Mingyue for a few breaths. After seeing her red and swollen eyes, he raised his eyebrows when he remembered the secret guard's report, and said with a smile:

"Well, Xie Jinglan, I asked you to go and come back as soon as possible. It would be better for you to take such a long time to come back. What do you think you should be guilty of?"

Xue Mingyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this question.

The words my grandfather said before leaving came to mind again - "Your Majesty is testing the Marquis."

Is it a temptation or a fear?

Xie Lang said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I remember what your majesty said, that's why I can see your majesty here now. If not, I might have stayed longer on the road to appease my wife."

He said softly: "Madam was imprisoned by the people of Xiao because of me. She cried so much that she couldn't help herself when she saw me. She has been hurt so much, even if I let me step down and stay with her for a year and a half." , I am also willing."

"..."

Being so disgusting was not part of the plan.

Xue Mingyue couldn't express her mood, and she pinched her palms before she managed to calm down.

But she still pretended to be moved, raising her head and looking at him with tears in her eyes.

Emperor Jingping was choked by his words.

Hearing him scold Xiao Duo at every opportunity and blaming Xiao Duo for his crimes, he felt like he was filled with depression that could not be dissipated for a long time, but he felt relieved at the same time.

This kid is so stubborn that it gives people a headache.

Emperor Jingping shook his head helplessly, and then suddenly changed the topic: "The second prince has wronged you by imprisoning you in another courtyard during this period. This bold guy has been demoted to a commoner by me. Are you not injured?"

When he said this, he stared at Xue Mingyue.

Xue Mingyue shook her head when she heard this, lowered her eyes, and said softly with a tremor in her voice: "To answer your Majesty's question, I was not injured. She was just a little frightened. It's okay."

As she spoke, she leaned against Xie Lang again.

"Have you ever met the Second Prince in the other courtyard? How did those guys treat you?"

"My wife has never met His Highness the Second Prince in the other courtyard. After I was kidnapped to the other courtyard, they locked me in a small courtyard and only gave me one meal a day. They also asked me to wait and see what happened. Someone came to ask questions.”

Xue Mingyue pursed her pale lips, her eyes a little dazed: "But I was imprisoned for a long time, and I didn't wait for the people who were going to interrogate me. They also sent my maid over. It wasn't until I saw the Marquis today that I I know that the person who kidnapped me is actually His Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lang's voice rang out: "He is no longer His Highness."

Emperor Jingping's face darkened slightly.

Soon, the confusion on Xue Mingyue's face was replaced by anger, and her eyes seemed to be burning with two clusters of fire:

"But he actually wants to use me to threaten Lang Jun!"

"I stayed in the paddock because I listened to His Majesty's words and came to cover for you. How could he do this? Even if he doesn't like your husband, he should think about Your Majesty!"

"At that time, I thought someone had seen through His Majesty's plan, and I was ready to die. Even if it takes my life, I can't let such a bold person ruin His Majesty's plan!"

She raised her head and looked at Emperor Jingping, unyielding written all over her face.

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows, his expression darkened, and he raised his head to look at Emperor Jingping.

Emperor Jingping's heart skipped a beat.

The moment he met her eyes, he felt guilty. It was indeed him who asked Liu Baoquan to signal her to stay in the paddock.

After all, the matter of transferring Tang Kun is of great importance.
