C108 xuanqi (1/2)
Wu Xiaofei carefully entered the Hall of Phoenixes, keeping his head low throughout the entire process, not daring to even look around.
People who were used to being arrogant in their hometown would be no different from a falcon without its wings if they entered the imperial palace.
Shangguan Wan found it laughable. Usually when people called themselves grandpa, everyone would gather around him. She was a little not used to the quietness.
”This commoner, Wu Xiaofei, pays his respects to the empress!”
This was the first time he had bowed so deeply, and even his legs began to tremble.
He had originally thought that being summoned by the empress was just a joke, but he hadn't thought that he would actually come to the Imperial Palace and even enter the Phoenix-Returning Hall. Why did it feel like he was dreaming?
Is this for real?
”Rise.” Shangguan Wan replied in a very normal manner. They did not even try to hide it.
Of course, Wu Xiaofei recognized that voice. Wasn't that the voice of a beauty? How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
He slowly stood up, still keeping his head low. This place was not like home, where he could do whatever he wanted.
”Why don't you dare look at me?” Shangguan Wan smiled and asked, taking a sip of tea.
Actually, he knew in his heart that Wu Xiaobao was just a paper tiger.
The more Wu Xiaofei listened, the more suspicious he became. It was too similar, too similar. There were actually two people in this world who had exactly the same voices.
Wait, wait, he seemed to recall something. He remembered that in the Wu Residence, Jun Yao had addressed the beauty as' Empress'. Now, she had also appeared in the palace, and was also a palace maid.
God! This was too terrifying. There was absolutely no way something like this could be so ridiculous!
He jerked his head up, and the exquisite face was displayed before his eyes.
”Beautiful …”
”Why?” Shangguan Wan stood up and got down from the phoenix chair, ”Where's that overweeningly arrogant Uncle Wu?” Is he dead? ”
Her face was suffused with a contemptuous smile. The Wu father and son had committed countless evil deeds in order to reap the benefits of the people's ointment, as if the death of the poisonous bugs in this country was not something to be regretted.
”You, who exactly are you?” Large beads of sweat appeared on Wu Xiaofei's forehead. His heart was beating incessantly, which was even more terrifying than ghost stories.
”Who exactly is it? This question is very good. ” Shangguan Wan circled in front of him, then lowered her head and said calmly, ”I'm the one who sent you to hell.”
Wu Xiaohu shook his head, ”Impossible!”
”Why is it impossible? What do you think you are to me? Love, or infatuation? I tell you, it was only because I seduced you. ” Shangguan Wan slightly pointed with her finger and released the charm, ”Do you still think you love me now?”
”You are a demon! ”Demons!” Regret came to him, but the old tutor actually didn't take his words to heart.
”I am a demon.” Shangguan Wan didn't want to shirk either, ”Idiot, idiot, think carefully about it, that night was the night you and eighth concubine slept together. I designed it all, cough! ”Why would I waste my breath talking to you about this? I merely summoned you here today to tell you how foolish you two are.”
”You wicked spirit! ”You caused the Wu Residence to go bankrupt, and you will die a horrible death!” It seemed that he had already lost the right to live ever since he entered this hall.
Shangguan Wan clapped her hands, ”Father and son really do share the same heart, even scolding me is almost the same. Very good, now you go accompany your father. Didn't you always say he won't die of old age? He should be dead by now.”
