Chapter 320: An Inescapable Fate...
Soon Sang Qiu walked into the mansion with a cheerful pace, and went straight to Tang Xuanze as soon as he entered the mansion.
The smile on her face did not fade, and her infatuated eyes were fixed on him. Tang Xuanze felt uncomfortable under her stare and raised his hand to scratch the back of his head.
Sang Qiu had been waiting for him to speak for a long time, but it was the maid in the inner room who spoke first, "Miss Sang Qiu?"
She turned around and looked at the smiling old woman in confusion when she heard the voice. The nanny looked at her figure and face with a smile.
Then he quickened his pace and grabbed her smooth and slender hands. Sang Qiu felt a little disgusted and didn't understand what this meant. It took him a long time to break free from her restraints.
Seeing that she was dressed elegantly, Sang Qiu did not look like an ordinary person, so he walked around her and ran to Tang Xuanze's side.
But Tang Xuanze's mind was not here at all. He was thinking about how to rescue Tang Qian.
Then he left her and walked into the hall, sitting cross-legged and frowning in thought. At this time, Mu Huayan came out of the side hall and was also worried about how to find Tang Qian's whereabouts.
She held a fairy fruit in her hand and took a few bites of it, looking down in thought. Han Qixi, Fang Hanyu and the others had been sitting in the hall in silence.
Sang Qiu wanted to go in to find him but the nanny grabbed her right hand again. The nanny asked her directly if she would consider entering the palace as a concubine. If she was chosen by the emperor, she could become the emperor's concubine in the future.
Her face gradually darkened when she heard this, but she was no longer angry after hearing the news that the Marquis and Tang Linfeng were missing.
Instead, she directly rejected the offer. Nanny walked into the hall and sat beside Tang Xuanze. She propped her chin with both hands and stared at Tang Xuanze infatuatedly.
It wasn't until Mu Huayan sat down opposite Tang Xuanze that she came back to her senses. Her beautiful eyes were filled with obvious jealousy as she bit her lower lip.
"Princess Yunmeng should be very familiar with the environment of the imperial palace, right?"
But Tang Xuanze was lost in thought and didn't hear. Seeing that he didn't respond, Mu Huayan raised her voice and called his name.
He looked at her in confusion, half asleep and half awake, so she had to repeat what she had just said to him, but the result was that Yunmeng did not understand the layout of the palace.
She had never been to the palace since she had been there once as a child. Mu Huayan lost her patience and continued to think of a solution, so she took out a few fairy fruits and threw them into the air.
She had been suppressing her anger in her heart, but this time she couldn't hold it back and it exploded a little, "Blood Demon Sect! Moon Phoenix!"
The murderous aura on her body spread throughout the entire mansion. The ground was shaking constantly, and even the surrounding trees had cracks.
The guards around were so frightened that they fell to the ground one after another, and some fled the scene in panic. Sang Qiu was frightened and hugged Tang Xuanze with trembling hands.
"She, what happened to her?"
Wu Mo, sensing the murderous intent, came into the hall with two fairy fruits in his hands. He waved the fruits in front of Mu Huayan.
"What makes you so angry?"
Seeing that she ignored him, he tasted the fairy fruit and said, "It's such a waste to throw away such a sweet and delicious fairy fruit."
She cleared her throat, put away her murderous intent, and restored the damaged trees and things in the mansion. Han Qixi walked forward, pushed Wu Mo away, took her hand, and moved away from the spot.
Wu Mo was stunned for a few seconds and still didn't understand what was going on. He looked at the people in the hall to get an answer, but everyone had an expression that asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Han Qixi took her on a pleasure boat ride to relax, allowing her to temporarily forget about the troubles of the Blood Demon Sect.
On the same autumn day in a different place, he had just awakened the demonic power in his body and could not control it yet.
He remembered clearly that Mu Huayan had spent a lot of effort to help him learn to control the demonic power in his body.
Hundreds of years had passed in a flash, and he felt a sense of loss. It seemed as if all this had never happened.
But he wanted to freeze this moment, so that the person in front of him would belong only to him...
The autumn breeze was refreshing on my face, the birds were playing and singing on the water, and various activities were being held on the surrounding pleasure boats.
Mu Huayan's body and mind were completely relaxed at the moment. He looked at the happy Mu Huayan in front of him and gradually smiled.
The two of them were playing in the pleasure boat and the busy streets. Before they knew it, it was already midnight. Han Qixi carried the drunk Mu Huayan on his back and rushed to Tiannan Marquis Mansion.
"Han Qixi."
"Ah."
"If I had been so cruel as to abandon you..."
Han Qixi paused but waited for a long time but no further words came. He continued walking forward with a frustrated smile on his face.
"Put me down, I'll walk by myself."
Han Qixi put her down gently and turned around to support her. She grabbed his arm to steady herself and looked up at him.
"But I don't understand..."
Before she finished speaking, tears began to flow and she raised her left hand and kept hitting his chest, but she lost her strength and fainted.
Han Qixi carried her sideways and walked towards the mansion, but they happened to run into Tang Xuanze and Fang Hanyu who came out to look for them.
"Senior sister!"
"She was fine, she was just drunk."
In a room in the side hall of Tiannan Marquis's mansion, Han Qixi was about to leave after settling her down, but she suddenly grabbed the corner of Han Qixi's clothes.
"Is this a fate that cannot be escaped..."
"Han Qixi..."
Before she could finish her words, she was so sleepy that the strength in her arms gradually faded. Han Qixi was stunned for a moment before turning around to cover her with the quilt. Looking at Mu Huayan who was soundly asleep in front of him,
A smile gradually formed on his lips. He raised his hand and gently stroked her slightly red cheek. After a moment, he gradually stepped back and left the room.
The next day, at 7:00 p.m., it was cloudy.
Mu Huayan opened her eyes when she heard the door open. It was Fang Hanyu who came in with a bowl of hangover soup.
After drinking the sobering soup, she instantly became much more sober, and she seemed to remember some of what happened last night.
In the main hall, Han Qixi and others were waiting for Mu Huayan to arrive and discuss how to enter the palace.
After she walked into the hall, she glanced at Han Qixi. The memory of last night suddenly came to her mind, and a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed across her eyes.
Almost all the relevant people were waiting in the hall, including Xia Changqing, and Mu Huayan wanted to ask him to provide a map of the palace.
After some discussion, the few of them worked out a plan. Since the Blood Demon Sect had so blatantly snatched the person away, Mu Huayan would not hold back.
But it was not ideal to just force your way in, so Tang Xuanze called the nanny over again. Mu Huayan used a magic weapon to change her body shape and appearance.
The nanny was extremely happy to see this, and kept praising the girl that Mu Huayan transformed into for being extremely beautiful, saying that she would definitely be chosen if she participated in a talent show.
Han Qixi, who was standing by, felt unhappy when he heard this, and a hint of jealousy welled up in his heart, but for the sake of his plan, he could only endure it.
But suddenly the nanny's expression changed. She sighed and looked disappointed. "It's a pity, I found all the concubines yesterday."
Han Qixi smiled slightly. Mu Huayan felt that she couldn't miss the chance to enter the palace. So she took Mammy's arm and said coquettishly, "Mammy, you just said that I'm very beautiful, but you gave me hope and then extinguished it in an instant."
Then she took advantage of the situation and her beautiful eyes were misty, looking very lovable. She said aggrievedly, "I really want to enter the palace. I have prepared everything for today and even dressed up beautifully."
Seeing her about to cry, Mammy's heart almost melted. Moreover, it was hard not to be moved by her appearance.
Mammy raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheek and comforted her, "Child, don't cry. Mammy will think of a way for you."
She immediately stopped talking and responded with a smile, her eyes showing an expectant look. After thinking seriously for a while, the nanny said, "Mammy, I remember now. The concubines are all here, but we still need a lead dancer."
Nanny was very happy at the moment. If this stunning beauty could win the heart of the current emperor, then she would have done her best.
"We need to hold a banquet before the talent show, and the opening part of the banquet is dancing. If the girl's dancing can capture the heart of the current emperor, then we will have a chance."
She was so happy and excited that she hugged Mammy and thanked her repeatedly. Mammy asked her to prepare carefully for a few more minutes before setting off.
The nanny was worried that her dancing was not graceful enough so she asked her to perform on the spot. Mu Huayan was a little reluctant because she seemed to have never danced in front of familiar people. Of course, except for her brother Duan Qiuran, who had seen her dance several times,
But she looked extremely happy and nodded to agree to her request. The others thought she would refuse, so they had no choice but to step back and make room for her to perform.
"The rules are very simple. As long as your dancing moves can impress everyone in this room, you will pass."
After listening to what the nanny said, she nodded confidently. The nanny showed her a satisfied look and was looking forward to her next performance.
