chapter 31 The Executioner in the Imperial Palace (1/2)

At the night, Helian Jue really fulfilled his promise. However, Tang Xia could not be happy when hearing the news that he was coming.

”Your Grace, are you worried about the emperor's coming?” Lyuyou was really smart and immediately figured out Tang Xia's worry.

Tang Xia looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She had a light makeup and made a red mark at the center of her forehead. A pink hairpin was stuck in her back pun.

She looked more tender and pretty.

She sighed.

Lyuyou only thought that she was too nervous. ”Your Grace, you don't have to be worried. The emperor always treats you good.”

At the end of her words, Tang Xia looked at her seriously.

Lyuyou stopped for a second and held back her neck. ”Would you like me to report to the eunuch Shun to say you don't feel good before the emperor comes?”

Tang Xia lowered her forehead and raised her eyebrows. ”No, it's fine.”

”Anyway, he is the character she needed to conquer. Since he takes the initiative to find me, why should I find a way to avoid?”

”Why?”

Tang Xia held her chin and fell into a long-term meditation. A group of her hair was fluttering with the breeze behind her ears and placed on her shoulders softly. Her palm-size face was so delicate and as white as the ceramics, while the sunshine scattered between her eyebrows.

Judging from the basic experience of her only twice live broadcasts, she obviously tried her best to conquer Chu Tiankuo.

However, when facing Helian Jue, she had different feelings.

Tang Xia hooked her long fingers. ”Come here.”

Lyuyou understood and put her ear near to Tang Xia's mouth.

”Later, you go to Yanyue Palace and share the message to Lengmei's maid that the emperor will come to my palace.”

Tang Xia said gently. Her lips were tender and teeth were white, while the way she was talking was as elegant as an orchid.

Tang Xia's breath made Lyuyou felt itchy on her ear. She turned her head and wore a smile. ”Your Grace, are you going to make a trap for Lengmei?”

Tang Xia nodded her head with satisfication. ”You're teachable.”

Lyuyou always disliked Lengmei. Now, she met this good chance. She bowed to Tang Xia with excitement and left.

Tang Xia kicked at the table regularly. Her eyes seemed to cover the whole stars. A piece of cunning flashed by her eyes and left a smile in the end.

Unsurprisingly, Lyuyou would return without success.

Sure enough, for a short moment, Lyuyou came in with a sad expression on her face.

”What's the result?” Tang Xia curved her eyes and her skin was extremely tender under the candlelight.

Lyuyou lowered her eyes. ”I should have died for my uselessness.”

Though she had expected the result, Tang Xia still pretended to be surprised. She asked step by step. ”Go ahead. I'm listening.”

”I went to the Yanyue Palace and told them the news that the emperor would come to our Jiaofang Palace tonight. The maids in Yanyue Palace were all arrogant and argued with me.”

”The words finally passed to Lengmei. She said nothing, but looked at her maid. However, when I left for a moment, I received a message from eunuch Shun which said the emperor would not come to Jiaofang Palace tonight, but changed his mind to go to Yanyue Palace.”

Lyuyou's eyes were full of tears. Her palm-sized face was divided under the sunshine The light and dark sides overlapped, which covered her eyesight.

Tang Xia held back her guilty and comforted her softly, ”It doesn't matter. The emperor's not coming is not a big deal. My Jiaofang Palace is so large and it's OK he will come or not.”

Perhaps Tang Xia's comfort worked well. Lyuyou stopped crying, but her voice was still upset. ”Your Grace, you have paid a lot for this chance, but is destroyed by me. You still try to comfort me...”

Tang Xia had not expected that her image in Lyuyou's eyes was that noble. She did not know she should be happy or sad. ”Anyway, you're my maid. How can you cry like a fool?”

Lyuyou was amused by Tang Xia's blaming words and said, ”Talking about this, since Yi Jiazi found troubles for you last time, you have few times to see the emperor.”

”I could not forget the scene on that day.” After all, it was the first time for Tang Xia to kill someone. She stopped for a second. ”Do you know how Faner's corpse is finally settled?”

Lyuyou's fingers were slightly shaking. Thinking back the scene of that day, she could not help feeling cold. ”It's said that she was thrown into the mass grave with the sword stuck in her chest.”

”It's said that a leading eunuch was curious and went to the mass grave, but he didn't find her corpse. Everyone said Faner could not die in peace. Lady Yi Jiazi must do something wrong behind. It's really intriguing.”

Lyuyou was serious. Her delicate face showed out scare, which made Tang Xia burst into a laugh.

”It's just a rumor. You even take it seriously.”

Tang Xia wore a smile. The slightly curved corner her mouth was tender, which could attract everyone' attention.

”I just thought this rumor was mysteriousness, so I dare to share with you, Your Majesty.”

The rumors in the imperial palace were often coming quickly and disappearing quickly, except for the death of Faner.

Originally, Tang Xia only heard those rumors from Lyuyou. A few days later, all the palaces were talking about this matter, which became more and more mysterious.

”What's the new rumors recently?” Tang Xia was making up in front of the bronze mirror. Her amorous eyes were shining.

Lyuyou sighed and her sound was a little trembled.

”There's a rumor in the imperial palace, which said Faner had turned into a ghost after she died, becoming an executioner in this palace. Everyone was scared. Those who had a piece of connection with her were afraid of being affected.”

At the end of her words, Tang Xia found Lyuyou's voice trembling slightly.

”It's just a rumor. Why are you so afraid?”
