Chapter 44 Getting what you want
Not long after Mr. Zhou left, a plump and beautiful woman came out from behind the screen. She was the princess.
It turned out that she came to eavesdrop on the conversation at some point.
At this moment, her face was slightly red, her eyes were shy and timid, and she looked at Yu Xian with a bit of anger.
"Director Yu, what nonsense did you say to Mr. Zhou just now? Do you want my reputation in the future?"
"Mother, when did you come?"
Yu Xian was "shocked".
The princess snorted coldly: "If I didn't come, how would you know that Director Yu still has such evil thoughts towards me?"
Yu Xian's face turned slightly pale, and he quickly handed over his hands to apologize: "Mr. Zhou is not a gossip, and he will never talk nonsense.
I was in a hurry just now, so I accidentally said... To tell the truth, if the empress is to blame, Yu is willing to be punished.
But this is what I say from the bottom of my heart. Even if the empress punishes me, I will not change it. "
When the princess saw Yu Xian's behavior, which was undoubtedly an affirmation of her own charm, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Okay, okay, I don't really blame you, just don't say these things in front of outsiders from now on."
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be surprised and said:
"Your Majesty, don't you blame me?"
The princess hummed: "When have I ever blamed you? From now on, I and Heng'er will have to rely on the supervisor."
She glanced at Yu Xian, with a bit of coquettishness, and she was full of charm.
Seeing this color made Yu Xian's heart tremble, knowing that his relationship with the princess was one step closer, and the day when he transformed into a thief was not far away.
But he couldn't be too hasty at this time, so he coughed twice and asked the princess about business.
"Honey, how are you packing your things?"
It turned out that when Zhou Bai came to ask to see the princess, Yu Xian had already asked the princess to pack up her belongings and leave, so she refused to let him meet the princess.
Unexpectedly, the princess was worried about the people in the city, who came to eavesdrop, and "accidentally" heard something that made her feel ashamed and happy.
The princess did not answer, but looked sad.
"Yu Xian, do we really want to leave? Maybe reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive soon. Once we leave, the sky in the city will really fall."
As Yu Xian said, she is a sentimental woman, and Zhou Bai's words just now have aroused her compassion.
But unknowingly, she called Yu Xian by his real name instead of his job title.
Yu Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, even if we stay, what can we change?
The prince died in a hurry, nothing was arranged, and the prince's intelligence system and military power have not been recovered yet.
The palace is now blind and lame. Instead, the palace's decades of savings have turned into a piece of fat.
Now the palace still has the lingering power of the imperial court, and the chaos in the city has not yet reached the palace. When the rebels really attack, everyone in the palace will be a thorn in the side of the rebels.
Even if the empress doesn't think about herself, she still has to think about Heng'er. "
"Heng'er..."
Children are the princess's weakness. As soon as children are mentioned, the princess puts away her compassion.
"I have asked Eunuch Li to pack the things. They will be packed away tomorrow at the latest. By the way, I seem to have found the prince's darkroom you mentioned."
Yu Xian looked happy and couldn't help but take a few steps forward: "Really?"
The princess immediately smelled the strong male aura on Yu Xian's body, and couldn't help but squeeze her legs tightly.
"Really, really."
The princess stumbled back two steps with great willpower.
"I'll take you to see it."
"good."
Yu Xian's attention was attracted by King Fu's secret room, but he did not notice the strangeness of the princess at this moment.
…
King Fu's study room.
Click, click, click!
The princess turned the candlestick, and the sound of gears sliding came from behind the bookshelf. Then the bookshelf slid open, revealing a whole stone wall, as if it were embedded in the wall.
"Ever since you said that the prince left a secret room in the mansion, I often went to the place where the prince stayed to look for it. I actually found it."
There was a bit of pride in the princess's voice.
"Your Majesty is still very observant, I admire you."
Yu Xian's praises came as soon as he opened his mouth. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness wanted to pass through the stone wall to see what was behind it.
He unexpectedly found that his spiritual consciousness was actually blocked by the stone wall. If it were not visible to the naked eye, he would not be able to detect this stone wall at all.
No wonder he came to the study several times and found nothing.
He reminded himself secretly.
Spiritual consciousness is not omnipotent. Even King Fu has methods to cover up spiritual consciousness, not to mention various methods in the world of immortality.
"Mother, I will go in first. If there is no danger, you can come in again."
Yu Xian pushed away the stone wall.
The princess hurriedly said: "Be careful."
"Mother, don't worry."
Yu Xian grinned. After the stone wall was pushed open, the scene inside could no longer stop his spiritual exploration. It was a tunnel extending downwards, and there were some delicate mechanisms.
He unplugged the mechanisms one by one like he was strolling around.
"Mother, you can come in."
I Xian flicked his fingers, and sparks flashed, lighting up the oil lamp left in the passage.
When the princess heard Yu Xian's voice and watched the fire light up inside, she plucked up the courage and lifted the hem of her skirt downwards. However, she didn't know if she was too nervous, and her foot slipped when she walked down the steps.
"oops!"
The princess seemed to have seen herself fall into disgrace.
Then a pair of broad arms embraced her.
The princess looked up and saw Yu Xian's worried eyes, which seemed to be shining under the light.
"Mother, are you okay?"
The hot breath coming out of Yu Xian's mouth made the princess couldn't help but hold on to his arm.
He hugged himself like this last time, and whether what he said to Mr. Zhou just now counted.
The princess couldn't help but become distraught.
"I, I'm fine."
However, Yu Xian straightened the princess upright in a puzzled manner, and said with some reproach:
"Be careful next time."
"oh."
The princess lowered her head like a little daughter-in-law.
As soon as Yu Xian said something, he felt that he had said it too harshly, but before he could change his words, he saw the princess looking full of love.
He hugged his arms forward, and the princess let out a sweet cry and threw herself into his arms. When she lowered her head, she could see a touch of snow-white under her neck.
"Empress..."
Yu Xian's voice deepened, and his Adam's apple slid slightly.
"You still call me empress?"
The princess did not push Yu Xian away, it seemed that the dark environment made her bolder.
Hearing this, Yu Xian couldn't care less about the things left by King Fu. Now his biggest treasure was already in his arms.
"Xin'er..."
The princess's real name is Ning Xin. Originally, only Prince Fu and his parents were called Xin'er, but now there is another one.
Accompanied by rustling sounds, the two of them were delayed at the entrance of the secret room for half an hour.
"Xin'er, I'm not your enemy. You just bit me too hard."
I Xian arranged his clothes and showed the princess a neat row of fine teeth marks on his shoulders.
Fortunately, his physical strength has been tempered by magic power, and his skin is like cow leather, otherwise the princess would bite him and bleed.
The princess's face was as red as blood, her eyes were bright with spring, and she hummed, "It's not you who did it."
"I'll go up first. You can take your time here and watch."
The princess ran away in shame and anger, secretly thinking that she must be crazy.
