Prosperous Beauty System

Chapter 56 The Merman Full Moon

A few more days passed, Su Xi did not know what errand he had received, and he had to go out before dawn every day, leaving Mingyue alone in the palace, unhappy.

In order to please Mingyue, the servants invited the theater troupe on their own initiative, hoping to make him smile, but Mingyue was still not interested, after watching for half an hour, he fell asleep.

He didn't like to get along with people, and Su Xi had official duties, so he couldn't be by his side all the time. Mingyue was unhappy, but he couldn't show it in front of Su Xi.

That night, Su Xi came back with a chill in his sleeves.

At this time, the night was falling, the inside and outside of the hall were brightly lit, and the incense burner in the corner was burning with smoke.Su Xi stepped into the inner hall and smelled the familiar cold fragrance, and couldn't help but smile from the corners of his eyes.

There are not many people serving in the hall, because Mingyue doesn't like people to be close, at the moment there are only two or three maids guarding the corners of the inner hall.

Su Xi, "How long has the young master been asleep?"

Gong'e bowed her waist, and replied with extreme fear, "Go back to Your Highness, the young master went back to the palace to sleep after eating at noon."

The smile in the corner of Su Xi's eyes froze, "Don't you understand if you are ignorant, young master?" She fell asleep before eating, how could her body bear it.

The three maids knelt down with pale faces, because Mingyue was sleeping on the bed a few steps away, and they didn't dare to beg for mercy, if they disturbed the young master, they might lose their lives.

The eunuch in charge came in from the palace door and bowed to Su Xi, "The young master is depressed today for some reason, why don't your highness go and see the young master first? These servants will be handed over to the old servant."

This old eunuch who is over fifty years old and has silver hair combed meticulously is Su Xi's confidant. When Su Xi was still young, his mother and concubine begged him from the Queen Mother so that someone could protect Su Xi in the future.

Su Xi has always been tolerant of this loyal father-in-law, so she immediately calmed down, "Take them down."

Seeing that Su Xi's voice was still cold, the old eunuch hurriedly led the three maids back out.

The corridor outside the hall is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings.Under the brilliant lights, the old eunuch stood with his hands behind his back, his back looked very strange, "Young master is ignorant, your highness let him dote on him because you love him, if you let your young master go, you will be spoiled in your highness's heart." Young master, you have bad intentions!"

The three maids stood behind with pale faces, and the old eunuch continued to speak, "You also know that a few days ago, there was a palace maid who offended the young master, and now people are burying them in mass graves." His penetrating gaze fell on one of the palace maids. , "Because she doesn't know what is good or bad, and she can't recognize her identity."

The three maids fell to their knees with a plop, trembling all over.The Gong'e that the old eunuch mentioned was one of their sisters. A few days ago, when she was serving the young master, she led the young master to say a lot of things, and happened to be bumped by the seventh prince who was returning to the palace, so she just disappeared. .

In the next few days, the young master asked about it, but no one dared to tell the truth, so he just prevaricated.

After saying this, the old eunuch turned around and left with his fly whisk in his hand.

In the Palace of Eternal Brightness, Su Xi sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes were gentle and tender, he deliberately took off his coat in order not to wake up Mingyue from the chill in the corner of his clothes.

The gauze was blown by the wind, shaking slightly, and the person who was curled up on the bed and sleeping soundly also frowned, as if dreaming of something bad.

Su Xi stretched out her hand and tucked the corner of the quilt for him, "You are a deep sleeper, you don't even know I'm back."

Mingyue moved her fingertips slightly, and her body shrank again. Su Xi sighed, and covered him again with the quilt that had slipped down to her waist, "Why are you sleeping so restlessly?"

Although the words were reproaches, the tone was particularly doting and gentle.

A gust of wind blew outside the window, blowing the gauze like a wind, and the candle beside it became flickering, as if it would go out at any time.

Su Xi's lips were very pale, imprinted on the corners of Mingyue's mouth, there was an indescribable feeling.

I don't know the origin of the love, but the love is deep.

Mingyue opened her eyes blankly, "Su Xi?"

Su Xi responded, "Mingyue, it's time to get up." He smiled lowly.

Mingyue straightened her body, her blue hair scattered like a waterfall, he said sullenly, "Su Xi, will you take me with you next time?" He was alone in the palace, feeling panicked in his heart.

Of course Su Xi wanted to take him with him, but the rules in the army were strict, and he was afraid that Mingyue would not be able to bear it, "Soon, after this matter is over, I will take Mingyue back to Beijing." He hugged Mingyue into his arms.

Just when the two were in a strong relationship, someone outside suddenly came to report, "Your Highness Seventh, His Highness the Crown Prince is here."

Su Xi's gaze sank, and he said in a cold voice, "Back off."

"Didn't he go back to Beijing?" Mingyue suddenly felt uneasy, for some reason, every time he heard Su Ji's name, he felt uneasy, as if something big would happen.

Su Xi held his hand slightly tighter, "Mingyue, I'm afraid you and I will be separated for a while, it won't be long, and I will pick you up when I settle the matter here."

Mingyue's heart became more and more uneasy, and she was even a little scared, "What happened?"

Su Xi smiled, "It's a tricky matter." He touched Mingyue's long black and beautiful hair, "I wanted to help Mingyue comb her hair, but unfortunately I don't have time."

"Su...Xi..." Mingyue felt a pain in her neck, and her whole body was plunged into darkness.

Su Xi caught his body that fell backwards, and a large number of guards quickly poured into the hall.

The head of the guard walked quickly to Su Xi's side, and there was no trace of panic on his cold face, "The prince's people are already surrounded outside the palace, please make a decision early, Your Highness."

Su Xi sneered, "He got the news quickly." He hugged Mingyue by the waist, "Zheng Lun."

A tall and straight man stepped out from among the guards with almost the same height and appearance, "Your Highness."

Su Xi hugged Mingyue and walked in front of him, "Take Mingyue away and go to Changli."

Zheng Lun took Mingyue without hesitation, "Yes!"

This night the moonlight was extremely cold, and Su Ji's people held high torches and stood in front of the Yongming Hall, "His Royal Highness has a request, and His Royal Highness, please don't refuse."

Accompanied by several guards, Su Xi walked out of the palace gate, looking at the darkness in front of him, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Lead the way."

In the Xuanning Hall, Su was already sitting on the side bench, holding the smooth scales in his hands thoughtfully, the candlelight was dim, but the ice blue scales on his hands were shining brightly.

The subordinate was chilled all over, and he half knelt on the ground to report, "Zheng Lun has escaped."

Su Ji's expression remained unchanged, and even Zheng Lun thought about it in a daze, "Where's Mingyue?"

The subordinate paused, "Nowhere to be seen."

"Have you found it?"

"I've looked for it. I searched the Yongming Palace several times, but I didn't find the tiger talisman the spy said."

"Really." Su had put the scales into his clothes, "Send more people to block the road from Jiangling to Changli, and hunt down and kill Zheng Lun."

The subordinate raised his head cautiously, "What about Mr. Mingyue?"

Su Xi stood up, "Kill Zheng Lun and bring Mingyue back."

At this moment, a report came from outside the palace, "The Seventh Prince has arrived!"
