Chapter 549

Huang Wei looked at Mo Yunxia who was in tears, glared at Xiyan, and bowed to leave.

"Whether it is useful to find you, my sister knows best in her heart. I have persuaded the emperor many times, but he never listened. The only person who can persuade the emperor now is you alone. This is the last time. Please be my sister."

If it was before, Xiyan must have sneered, sister?What is that? As far as what Xia Mingxu did, she was already saving face by not killing him, and she wanted her to be a good person, but now...

Xiyan turned her head away and looked up at the dark night sky. This is the last time, so let's repay Mo Yunxia's kindness, after all, she helped herself a lot this time.

She sincerely hoped that Xia Mingxu could let go of the obsessions in his heart and treat Mo Yunxia well, the emperor's family, to have such a woman who truly loves him and is his, should be cherished.

"I try my best."

Throwing down these three words, Xi Yan pushed open the slightly open palace door and walked in.

Shangyang Hall is divided into three floors inside and outside, with three spaces on the left, middle and right.

The central position is where the emperor summons the courtiers to deal with the affairs of the court. The left side is mainly for some tea and pastries. If there is any urgent matter, the emperor can have a meal with the courtiers, and then continue to discuss state affairs. The right side is the emperor There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but not every emperor needs a woman every night. If the court affairs are busy, you can wash up and sleep directly in the Shangyang Palace, and the emperor can also be lucky in this place. Concubines, as an expression of doting.

Because it was night, both sides were filled with candles, the whole palace was brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and the whole Shangyang Palace was very quiet, only three or two eunuchs stood on Xia Mingxu's left and right sides.

Xia Mingxu sat in the middle, propped his head with one hand, and held a vermilion pen in the other. He stared at the memorial on the desk with his eyes, annotating from time to time, so focused that he didn't notice even Xiyan came in.

The eunuch standing on the left lowered his head and seemed to be a little drowsy. When he heard the movement, he raised his head and saw that it was Xi Yan, and immediately opened his eyes wide with joy.

The emperor reviewed the memorials non-stop, how could they, slaves, go to rest, but after all, they were getting older, and they still couldn't hold on anymore. They were dozing off, and they were quite vigilant.

Seeing that he was about to speak, Xiyan stopped, made a silent movement, walked up to him, and pointed to the location of the tea room.

The eunuch was a transparent person, he immediately understood what Xiyan meant, waved his hand, and immediately a court lady came out with a tray with brewed tea and some delicate pastries on it.

Xiyan took the tray from her hand, walked behind Xia Mingxu, and put the cakes directly on the memorial that Xia Mingxu had reviewed.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest."

Xiyan spoke softly on purpose, Xia Mingxu didn't realize it at first, thinking how could there be such a bold and reckless maid in Shangyang Palace, she must be taught a lesson, turned sideways, raised her head, and looked at that smug smiling face, Immediately froze.

Seeing his surprised appearance, Xi Yan's smile became more and more smug, feeling like she was being tricked, she held the freshly brewed tea and shook it in front of Xia Mingxu: "Are you scared?"

It was only then that Xia Mingxu realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly turned around, but the five fingers tightly holding the vermilion pen still revealed the tension and excitement in his heart.

Xiyan put the tea in front of him, and immediately a maid came over to take the tray from her hand, and bowed to leave.

Xiyan waved her hand, and the rest of the maids and eunuchs also left, leaving only Xiyan and Xia Mingxu in the entire hall.

"Why did you come?"

Xia Mingxu looked at Xiyan, as if he couldn't believe it, he was obviously the emperor, but Xiyan's arrival made him feel flattered.

"The Queen asked me to come."

Xiyan turned around and went to look for a chair by herself, and because of this, she didn't see Xia Mingxu's eyes that instantly went down.

"The queen is really kind to the emperor."

Xi Yan moved a stool and sat down on the opposite side of Xia Mingxu.

"I know."

Xia Mingxu looked at Xi Yan and said slowly.

"Since you know it, cherish it. Why should you break her heart for something that doesn't belong to you?"

Xia Mingxu smiled, it seemed that such a relaxed and leisurely conversation had never happened between them, so now, shouldn't he be satisfied?

"Xi Yan."

That sound was full of helplessness and affection.

"I've given Yunxia everything I can. I know you hate me, but I'd rather you hate me than leave. Does this place make you hate it so much?"

Xia Mingxu stood up from the chair. Perhaps it was because he had been sitting for too long. The moment he stood up, he swayed from side to side a few times, and soon stabilized. He continued to move forward, walked to the side of the bed, raised his head Looking at the gradually rising bright moon, he sighed.

"If you didn't meet Seventh Brother, would you accept me?"

If there was no Xia Yebai between them, would they be able to be together?

Xiyan turned around and looked at the lonely figure beside the bed. At this moment, outside the window, is there anyone hiding in the corner, secretly looking at the bright yellow figure?Will she be envious when she looks at the moon in the sky?I envy the moonlight, which can fall on him openly, but at this moment, her sight can only follow him quietly.

"will not."

Xi Yan said directly without even thinking about it.

Xia Mingxu clasped the window lattice tightly with both hands, straightened his back, and turned to look at Xiyan.

Xi Yan put her hands on her knees, and patted lightly: "I have said long ago that there is a couple for a lifetime, and the emperor can't give me what I want."

Xia Mingxu moved his lips, but was preempted by Xi Yan, that smile, with a touch of cold sarcasm: "I know what you want to say, even though I won't be your only one, the only one you love in your heart is me, Xia Mingxu, you really don't understand me."

Xi Yan couldn't help but sighed: "I am an insecure person, and the things I want can only feel at ease if I hold them firmly in my hand, and the love you mentioned is too illusory, like water in the palm of your hand, As long as I hold it lightly, there will be nothing. For me who is rational, if I know from the beginning that it is not something I can grasp, I will not have the mood to try it.”

Xia Mingxu turned around, under the moonlight, those deep eyes were like looking at the ocean, he couldn't see the bottom: "What about the seventh brother? Is it because he promised that you will be the only woman in this life?"

Xia Mingxu laughed twice, with strong self-mockery: "If I had known this, I should have sent a few more women into Prince Gong's mansion."
