Businesswoman Chenghuang

Chapter 58 Detention
The gilded bronze furnace with animal patterns stands in the Yixiang Palace, slowly the incense smoke fills the air, the lotus candlesticks at the four corners are burning vigorously, there are crackling sounds of wicks from time to time, and the bright yellow curtains envelop the entire hall in a haze.

Emperor Jing Han saw that the development of the situation became more and more unexpected. Now the state affairs and family affairs are mixed together, which makes people's head hurt, and it is getting late, so he temporarily detains Gu Wanyue in this part of the palace. in a palace.

This palace was originally used for emperors and concubines to live in. Except for Emperor Jinghan's Chenxiu Palace, this palace has the best lighting and location, but because the current Emperor Jinghan's biological mother died of illness when he was young, so he stayed here. Come out, but because he is in the most conspicuous place of the palace, all the palace people are arranged to come and clean it every day, except for the empty space, there is nothing wrong with it.

Xinxiu carefully served Gu Wanyue, changed her clothes, and loosened her hair. Although the bright candlelight in the palace was like daytime, it still gave people a cold breath.

Wearing a thin silk dress with scattered blue hair, Gu Wanyue sat in front of the vanity mirror with tired eyes.

"Xinxiu, call Ling'er over."

Xinxiu put down the silver comb in her hand and walked to the door of the main hall. As soon as she opened the door, four guards looked over vigilantly.

Xin Xiu glanced out, and there was a guard with a knife a few steps away, knowing that it was Emperor Jing Han who arranged to detain the young lady here, her already dull mood became even more uncomfortable, so she snorted coldly and looked around Look, the sparrow is landing on the eaves of the temple.

"Ling'er!" Xinxiu called softly.

"Chichi..." Caique turned her nimble little eyes, fluttered her wings, and flew in through the open palace door.

Xinxiu closed the door of the hall again and inserted it.

The sparrow landed beside Gu Wanyue and honked a few times in favor.

Gu Wanyue stretched out her hand to straighten its feathers, the brilliance was soft and bright, and a pair of small eyes immediately narrowed happily, with a look of enjoyment.

Seeing Lingque's pleasing behavior, Gu Wanyue was not only amused, but her face illuminated by the candlelight glowed charmingly.

Reaching out to hold the sparrow up, she said a few words in a special tone, and finally, Gu Wanyue patted its little head again.

The sparrow chirped and pecked Gu Wanyue's palm a few times, then flew up with fluttering wings, circled around Gu Wanyue and flew into the night along the open window of Xinxiu.

Xinxiu closed the window, walked back to Gu Wanyue, and asked, "Miss, did you let the sparrow send the message?"

Gu Wanyue got up, looked at Xin Xiu's cautious look, smiled and deliberately eased the dull atmosphere in the room, "Xin Xiu, you don't have to worry, Emperor Jing Han can't do anything to me, since he just detained me here In the palace, we are afraid of my identity as Princess Huanling, so we are not in danger for the time being."

Gu Wanyue walked to the side of the bed and sat down, then lowered her voice and continued to say to Xin Xiu who was following behind: "I asked Lingque to report Ye Yan's safety, so that he can stay at ease, don't worry about it because of this Things have exposed him, it's already this hour, I'm afraid he's waiting impatiently."

Xinxiu thought for a while, and based on His Highness's feelings for the young lady, seeing that the young lady didn't go back, don't let anything really happen. The nerves that were relaxed just now tensed up again, "I hope Lingque will go back in time, Stop His Highness Yan, the young lady is no longer free, His Highness Yan must not reveal her identity."

Gu Wanyue pulled Xinxiu and asked her to be by her side. This night she was no more relaxed than herself, and said distressedly: "It's okay, Ye Yan is not reckless, he knows the seriousness."

Gu Wanyue comforted Xin Xiu a few words. Anyway, she won't be able to go out tonight. It's useless to worry. It's better to rest and recover enough energy to deal with those people. She changed her tone and said: "Tonight You have also been frightened a lot, so don't keep vigil for me, we will sleep together tonight."

As he spoke, he pulled Xinxiu onto the bed.

Xinxiu also knew that the lady treated her well, so she shied away and turned away, so she leaned on the lady, went to bed, put the pillow and quilt for Gu Wanyue, and the two of them were head to head, whispering.

"Miss, why did King An Yue react so strangely when he saw the tattoo on your back?" Xinxiu thought for a while before asking.

"He!" Gu Wanyue closed her eyes, but her tone was disdainful, "It's not because of the tattoo, but because he didn't see it and wanted to see it."

"Want to see it?" Xinxiu's brows and eyes twisted into a pimple, not only did she not understand but she became even more puzzled, "What does he want to see?"

Gu Wanyue smiled mysteriously, yawned, and her voice was soft and soft, "You will know later, go to sleep, thinking about these things is better than sleeping."

"Oh." Xinxiu responded softly, seeing Gu Wanyue's eyes closed, her long eyelashes raised slightly, leaving a faint shadow on her fair face, knowing that she was also tired today, He stopped talking to disturb her and fell asleep silently.

When she felt that Xinxiu beside her was asleep, Gu Wanyue opened her eyes, her dark pupils shone with a sharp and cold light, what happened tonight was vivid in her memory, her hands under the quilt were tightly clenched, sharp His nails pierced into the tender flesh of his palm, and he used this pain to vent the bone-destroying hatred in his heart!
However, Gu Wanyue has ignored the saying that care leads to chaos!
Anyue Palace, Yuehuaxuan.

Ye Yan was sitting in front of the table, dressed in a black brocade dress with dark patterns, wide shoulders and narrow waist, a layer of chill enveloped her beautiful face, and her three-dimensional facial features became cold and hard, a heavy sense of oppression enveloped the whole room.

One hand was clenched into a fist on her lap, the other hand was casually turning the teacup in her hand, her deep eyes were getting darker, and her thin lips were tightly pursed.

The sound of trampling footsteps came in hastily, and even with Li Fan's skill, he couldn't control the strength of his footfall, which showed the worry and impatience in his heart.

Ye Yan's eyes lit up, looked at Li Fan who came in, and asked coldly: "How is it, any news?"

Li Fan shook his head, speaking in a hurry, "The female family members of Prince An Yue's residence have just returned, and they haven't seen the owner of the villa. But judging by their dignified expressions, something unusual must have happened in the palace tonight."

Li Fan took a breath, and said again: "I saw that Jing Qingyin had also returned, so he quietly followed up his study and asked about the condition of the owner. His life was not in danger, but he was imprisoned in the palace. However, He didn't know the specific reason, but I saw that the expression on his face didn't look like he was lying, so he came back."

"Yeah." After hearing this, Ye Yan's face was as dark as stagnant water, only the dark tide surged in his pair of phoenix eyes. If he hadn't controlled his emotions slightly and told himself to stay rational, I'm afraid he would go to the palace at night to see Gu Wan with his own eyes. Yue's situation.

A strange noise startled the two people in the room. Following the sound, it turned out that a small sparrow had fallen outside the window. Presumably, it was the sound it made when it fell just now.

The two recognized at the same time that it was the sparrow next to Gu Wanyue, they were startled, and Ye Yan made up his mind, got up and walked towards it.

Holding the sparrow in the palm of his hand, Ye Yan carefully looked at the sparrow's legs, but found no creed, and doubts arose in his heart, could it be that he was thinking wrong? Did the sparrow come back after playing alone?
