Ugly Princess: The Second Marry of the Bloodthirsty Eighth Prince

Chapter 54

Xue Yi didn't expect Shangguan Chonglian to say such outrageous words, her face flushed with embarrassment for a moment, the pockmarks faded with the darkness, and a pair of clear and clear water eyes revealed a trace of charm.


Shangguan Chonglian smiled seductively, "Why did you leave alone that night?"


Speaking of that night, Xue Yi was even more ashamed, biting her lip and not saying a word.


Shangguan Chonglian smiled, "I came back a bit late that night, and Li'er was making a fuss there. I coaxed her for a while, but I didn't see you when I returned to the box. Do you know that I was looking for you on the street all night."


Xue Yi said coldly: "Of course I'm going back to King Jing's Mansion, why do you need to go to the street to find me?"


Shangguan Chonglian could hear the suspicious meaning in her words, but there was a little doubt on his face, and he asked first: "When I brought you out, I asked you to hide aside, and I distracted the night guard in advance. When I came out, The door was re-locked by me, and when you go back and see that the door is locked, and there is a night watchman at the door, you will definitely wander on the street in a daze, so I went to the street to look for you."


After finishing speaking, he half-closed his eyes: "You said you returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, how did you get in?"


Xue Yi raised his head to look at him in surprise and doubt, "When I went back, the side door was ajar, and there was no night guard. I thought you didn't." If he didn't deliberately ajar the door, who opened it? If the door was opened but left open, where did the night watchman go?


Shangguan Chonglian's eyes dimmed, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly asked her: "Didn't anything happen on your way back to King Jing's Mansion alone that night?"


Xue Yi looked at him suspiciously, remembered those three hooligans, thought for a while and said, "No."


"Really not?"


Xue Yi sneered, "What do you think can happen, I am a woman, walking on the street late at night, and meet a hooligan? Don't forget, I am a disgustingly ugly ugly woman, even if I do meet a hooligan Don’t worry about losing your body either.”


After a pause, she said: "At most, it's just a beating. They are unlucky to meet an ugly girl like me, aren't they?"


Shangguan Chonglian half-closed her eyes, her expression darkened, and she looked at her and said: "When I was looking for you that night, I saw three hooligans died in the alley, so I was worried. I was worried that the street would not be safe that night. Maybe there was a fight, worrying about you."


He didn't continue talking, remained silent for a second, and then returned to his frivolous look, "Okay, as long as you are fine."


Xue Yi was taken aback, "What did you just say, three people died?"


Shangguan Chonglian smiled, "It's not uncommon for people to die in the middle of the night on Dijing Street."


Xue Yi didn't ask any more questions, but when he heard that he went to the street to find her all night, his heart softened involuntarily.It turned out that I didn't see him the next day after that night, probably because I was tired from looking for one night.


But thinking that he took the opportunity to belittle her that night, and now

She couldn't help but said coldly again: "Chonglian, please remember, I am a widow, or your elder, I am with you."


Shangguan Chonglian turned a deaf ear and stood up with a smile, "The water is cold, soak it again to be careful not to catch the wind and cold."


After finishing speaking, he threw a dark red brocade purse on the table: "Sneaked here tonight, I got a good thing, I kept it specially for you, I was afraid that it would become boring after a long time, so I sent it to the palace , try it, it must be something that your Beicang Kingdom doesn’t have.”


After speaking, he walked out of the bathhouse.


Xue Yi came out of the water to put on her clothes, picked up the embroidered purse and opened it, which contained sesame Nantang.


Twist a little and send it to the mouth, it is sweet.


At this time, I thought of the unclosed side door again, could it be.

New Year's Eve.


Waking up this morning is breakfast in the palace, there are no less than dozens of pastries of Lala, pastry, and rice cakes.


After eating too early, people from all palaces hang up couplets and put up red lanterns.


The entire Dongling Palace is covered in red and colorful, rich and prosperous.


From [-]:[-] p.m., the palace people began to prepare for the New Year’s Eve banquet. When night fell, the snow wind was blowing, and the dark blue night sky was full of stars and moons. The prologue has begun.


Shangguan Zhuzhu happily ran around, playing with the daughters of princes and ministers.


And she couldn't settle down the moment she took the seat.


It's not the whispering and pointing around, but the row diagonally opposite, near the left hand side of the emperor.

There were a few gazes from the seat at the table, and these were not bad, but what she couldn't ignore the most was the silent gaze under the golden mask on the seat closest to the emperor.


When she first spotted him, her heart skipped a beat.


He has been sitting there quietly, everyone is red and green, dressed in the most festive colors, he is the only one in black and purple, wearing a black mink fur waistcoat, the black hair is still loosely tied halfway back, and a few strands hang down around his body In front of him, the wind blew, gently fluttering, sweeping the cold and hard golden face.


He just sat there, but not many people dared to talk about him or point him out, just because anyone glanced at you with his deep and cold eyes, and lost the courage to look at him again.


Picking up the wine on the table and taking a sip, Xue Yi made herself not to care about his burning and evil eyes.


Don't even think about why he showed up tonight.


As soon as he looked up, he glanced at the prince's seat inadvertently, and happened to meet Duan Wang, who was dressed in brocade and blue robes. , completely ignoring the fireworks exploding behind him, the flickering light made him think a little more deeply.


After busy shifting, when passing by Prince Duan, he noticed that the prince next to him gave her a cold look and then looked away.


Continuing to drink a glass of wine, Xue Yi subconsciously looked for someone.


On the right side of the emperor, Shangguan Hongyu, who was still beautiful in white, attracted the attention of many daughters of princes and ministers.


How can such a beautiful man who is as clear as jade and as elegant as water make people not take a second look, not to mention that the crown prince has not yet accepted the concubine Yuan. Although he is sick and weak, he may inherit the throne in the future.


I saw Shangguan Hongyu looking over with a faint smile. Through the eyes of a group of people, he was the only one with a smile on his face.

No, there is one more person, that is Shangguan Chonglian.


Shangguan Chonglian smiled evilly, the wine in her hand was still there, and the teasing taste on her lips was obvious, Xue Yi hurriedly retracted her eyes and stopped scanning randomly, but found that there was a line of sight that was not far from her side, and it was very strange dazzling.


Turning her head to look over, she met Xiao Li'er's provocative eyes, which made her brows ache.


Fortunately.

At this time, a long horn sounded in the square ahead, and the firecrackers and fireworks also rose to a climax.


After the banquet, the New Year's Eve program begins.


I saw clusters of people divided into two camps. One dancer wore a beast mask on his head and wore animal skins, pretending to be various beasts. The other dancer wore colorful costumes and wore a wooden mask painted with color pictures. , pretending to be a hunter.


The hunter holds a colorful stick in his hand and a waist drum on his waist. A hunting dance is very colorful, and the sound of the drum is loud.


At that moment, Xue Yi couldn't look away in a daze.


It seemed that all the sounds around her were gradually disappearing, and she only heard a howling wolf, which seemed to come from the sky above Beicang Kingdom.

She thought that this kind of mask dance could only be found in Beicang, but she didn't expect to see it here.


But this time it felt different. When she saw the masks worn by those hunters, her mind was shocked.


Some sporadic pictures came out, and some distant and vague voices rang into my mind from somewhere:

"You are the prey I hunted tonight. You are destined to be mine."


"Tell me your name."


"Xiaoyi?"


"Xiaoyi. Unless I let you escape, you will only be mine if you die."


"Absolutely. Don't try to escape me."


"I'm not!"


"Of course you are, you are my woman, my prey."


"I'm really ugly!"


"I saw it."


"You also want such a prey?"


"It's set"




Mask, why is it a mask again.


Who is that person, and who is talking, who is talking in her ear

What are you talking about, why are you desperately trying to think back but can't remember.


There is only fire, a blazing bonfire, laughter, the sound of warriors fighting, the sound of drums from Qinglong mask dance, and the sound of hunting. ①

that man

those eyes, those eyes

Deja Vu.


She didn't understand why she felt heartache, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.


It was as if another ethereal voice came from her ear, as if it was what she had said: "Hold your hand, grow old with you, live and die together, love for three lives."


Life and death are in harmony, and love is about three lives.

Unknown who bumped into her, she withdrew a little from the hallucination, but was shocked by the scene in front of her again.


The people who danced the Qinglong mask dance gradually gathered up from the bottom of the square, trying to dance in front of the throne.


There is one person among the hunters, is it her illusion, that person is always looking at her, jumps over, and dances in front of her.


He refused to leave for a long time, and she had a premonition that he would take off his mask.


Sure enough, he jumped closer and closer. The moment she took off the mask, she was almost too nervous to breathe.


Such a scene seems familiar, has such a scene happened before?


It seems that there is a person who has danced like this.


But she couldn't remember whether that person had lifted the mask, but she saw the person in front of her at this moment.


Shangguan Zhonglian!


The person under the mask turned out to be Shangguan Chonglian.


Shangguan Chonglian sneaked in at the beginning of the Qinglong Dance, just to tease Xueyi at this moment, but she didn't expect to uncover the mask and see Xueyi sitting on the seat with two tears hanging down.


His eyes deepened, he smiled evilly, and his voice came close to her ear: "Ugly girl, are you crying because you are moved, or just because you saw me?"


Xue Yi met Shangguan Chonglian's eyes fixedly, still remembering the vague shadow.


Shangguan Zhonglian laughed jokingly, and said in a low voice: "Ugly girl, you were caught by me. From now on, you are my prey and you cannot escape."
