C243 (2/2)

She angrily glared at them and turned around to leave.

She really did not want to go back and stay alone with Xiao Qingqian, nor did she want to be seen a joke by him.

Wei Qing thought about her previous trip back to the forbidden grounds. Her curiosity was piqued, and she nimbly avoided the patrolling guards, walking towards the direction of the forbidden grounds.

Before he even got close, he could already hear the ghostly wails, which made his hair stand on end.

She pursed her lips, wanting to return back the way she came. Compared to the Ghost Roar, Xiao Qingqian was not that scary!

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a ray of yellow light heading towards the forbidden area.

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly and soundlessly retreated to a nearby low water pool.

Old Emperor didn't come out even after entering for a long time.

Wei Qing could not help but think, since it was a forbidden grounds, why could the Old Emperor come in as he please?

Could it be …

Thinking about it, could it be that the ancient emperor really did have a True Dragon as protection?

Wei Qing quickly shook her head and rejected.

They had not heard the ghostly wail since they had entered the forbidden grounds from the Old Emperor.

She looked at the guards at the entrance very seriously, feeling that it was normal for them to scream like that.

Could there be another secret?

Wei Qing thought back to and how she had been locked under the Western Lake. She would sometimes let out creepy sounds out of anger.

Coincidentally, in the summer, there were mosquitoes that landed on Wei Qing's face.

Wei Qing's face was full of vexation. She tried to grab it but she was worried that it would break!

It was too itchy not to scratch.

This won't do, that won't do, she could only pinch her face hard.

When the palace door with mottled paint on it finally opened, Wei Qing held her breath. Borrowing the dim moonlight, she stared intently at Old Emperor's face, which was so thick that it seemed like thick ink could drip from it.

After confirming that Old Emperor had truly left, she left the water supply and headed towards Xiao Qingqian's direction without stopping.

”He hasn't left the palace?” When Xiao Qingqian saw her enter, he couldn't help but frown and ask her.

Wei Qing coughed lightly, ”Do you know what I just saw?”

Xiao Qingqian frowned, his gaze falling on the red packet on her face that was swollen from being bitten by mosquitoes, ”What do you see?”

Originally, he was angry at Wei Qing, but seeing her in such a state, he could not help but feel sympathy for her.

”You must still remember the matter of the Forbidden Area.”

Xiao Qingqian's originally creased eyebrows tightened, ”What do you want to say?”

”I just saw the emperor enter the forbidden area!”

Hearing that, Xiao Qingqian immediately stood up, he walked to the door and looked around warily, ”Why did royal father enter the forbidden grounds?”

After all, that place was haunted, and the rumors were very evil. Why did royal father want to go to that place?

Wei Qing curled her lips. ”You are the Emperor's own son, if you don't know, how would I know?”

Xiao Qingqian's intuition was not that simple. He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Wei Qing unblinkingly, ”Don't mention this matter to anyone else.”

Wei Qing revealed a look of looking at an idiot. Unless she felt that the head on his neck was too heavy, who would talk about this to an outsider?

He pinched Wei Qing's chin and Wei Qing's back tensed up, causing the atmosphere to become extremely strange.

”I've made myself clear, you …”

”This face seems to have been bitten by a venomous mosquito!” Xiao Qingqian said warmly.
