As soon as these words came out -
The two people who were kneeling on the ground were suddenly shocked.
It was as if he was petrified, unable to speak even a single word.
After reacting, the two people immediately looked at each other.
They all saw some doubts and confusion in each other's eyes.
But before the words were spoken clearly, their doubts and confusion... were not on the same channel.
"Don't you want to talk?"
Qixi said coldly.
And as if taking the opportunity to take revenge, and at the same time enjoying it, he stepped on the body of the man kneeling on the ground.
"Still watching The Son?"
Her tone was once again a little more oppressive.
Mu Qingxue quickly looked away and lowered her head slightly.
At this moment, her inner thoughts were extremely contradictory.
She didn't know what Ye An confessed to the empress, nor what happened before she came.
Should he report the truth to the empress, or deny the love affair...
This so-called love affair may have something to do with Ye An carrying the punishment alone.
"Your Majesty..."
Mu Qingxue said in a low voice: "We have no real love."
"Oh? Really."
The corners of Qixi's mouth raised slightly.
There was a moment of joy in her dazzling golden eyes, and her hanging heart finally relaxed completely.
It seems that the Holy Son and the Holy Lady really don't have such messy love affairs.
Also relieved with her was Ye An.
The latter couldn't hold it back and almost broke into a cold sweat.
What Qi Xi did just now was probably just to 'catch an adulterer'. It was very inappropriate and something could happen if you were not careful.
But fortunately, everything is not as bad as imagined.
“…”
Mu Qingxue tilted her head slightly, and the corner of her eye fell on Ye An.
She hesitated for a long time, then bit her lip and said this.
"No, actually all this has nothing to do with His Highness the Holy Son."
Suddenly.
It was Ye An and Qi Xi's turn to be stunned, as if they were petrified, and could not speak for a long time.
The moment Mu Qingxue said these words—
In Ye An's sight, a line of text suddenly appeared:
Ding! We are about to reach the key plot of the mission, and the novice mode is activated!
As a host, you can make the following choices to increase your target's favorability.
…
…
This time, the novice mode no longer forces people to do anything.
Even so, the system gives several options.
Ye An frowned and turned a blind eye, ignoring the system's text.
If the reason is—
Those options are basically talking about dog-licking love words. It is very inappropriate to say these words in front of the Lord, Qi Xi.
…
Qi Xi's expression gradually solidified.
Mu Qingxue took a deep breath and said calmly:
"I beguiled the Holy Son first, used him to defraud these Afterglow Pearls, and tricked him into helping me steal the Sunrise Pearls."
"I planned all this."
It was like a self-destructive speech, which made the other two people stupid.
The original intention of Qi Xi's question was to test the relationship between the two.
No matter whether Mu Qingxue said 'yes' or 'no', she had a reason to explain.
In reality, Qi Xi was just giving himself a comfort.
Mu Qingxue directly tore up the answer sheet and turned the multiple-choice questions into fill-in-the-blank questions.
It directly hit Qi Xi's weakness.
"What did you say!?"
Qi Xi's delicate body suddenly trembled.
It's like drinking a bottle of white vinegar and swallowing a pound of razor blades.
Her heart suddenly became confused.
Mu Qingxue still lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to inflict punishment on the Holy Son. Everything has nothing to do with him."
"It's me, it's me... who took the initiative to bewitch the Holy Son and used magic to disrupt His mind."
"The Holy Son became obsessed not long ago, and there was a flaw in his mind. I took advantage of it—"
She spewed out all the things she had made up.
However, these words are not finished yet.
He was suddenly interrupted by Qi Xi.
"Shut up!"
Qi Xi shouted coldly.
The majestic consciousness oppressed and enveloped their hearts.
Ye An's face suddenly turned dark.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at Mu Qingxue beside him.
The latter didn't speak any more, and his expression looked a little indifferent.
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Mu Qingxue said.
Such proactive behavior of taking the blame was beyond Ye An's expectations.
Obviously, he only arranged a very short game to catch the turtle in the urn and killed the son of luck himself.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xi and Mu Qingxue performed exceptionally well.
It’s confusing.
“…”
Qi Xi raised his head slightly and stared at the bright moon outside the window.
When I see the man I love actually having an affair with someone else—
She was suddenly heartbroken.
Maybe this is what it feels like to eat a knife.
"You guys... that's all."
"I'm old, I don't have to worry about this anymore."
Qixi looked disappointed.
Her eyes fell on Mu Qingxue and she said coldly:
"I won't care about the ambiguous affairs between you and the Holy Son."
"But before that, you must return the Shuori Pearl. Have you refined it?"
Mu Qingxue was suddenly startled and looked a little surprised.
"well… ??"
She didn't expect that the empress would not pursue the matter like this.
Maybe it's really just a disappointment.
"It hasn't been refined yet."
Mu Qingxue shook her head, then took out the Shuorizhu from the storage space and handed it over with both hands, "I will return it to Your Majesty."
Qi Xi snorted coldly and waved his sleeves.
The jade box containing the Shuori beads shone with a faint white light.
It disappeared in just an instant.
However, in fact, Qi Xi did not keep this Shuo Rizhu in her pocket, and she did not lack this heavenly item.
Instead, he changed hands and put it in Ye An's storage space.
This can only be accomplished by having an extremely clear understanding of space restrictions. And in this world, I am afraid that only Qi Xi can freely explore other people's storage spaces.
"I don't need to say anything else."
Qi Xi sat down, crossed his legs and raised his head slightly.
There was a hint of disappointment in her voice as she said, "Qingxue, follow me back to Zhongzhou tomorrow."
Mu Qingxue knew that she had no ability to refuse, so she could only nod her head and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"As for tonight..."
Qi Xi said coldly: "The backlash of Yin and cold in your body has accumulated too much. The blood of Yuhui Pearl and Son of Pure Yang can only relieve the pain slightly."
"A basin of hot water has been poured at the other end of the room. You go take a bath and wash yourself first, and then I will help you get rid of the cold."
"Now, I will have a few words with the Holy Son alone."
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly, "Yes."
After saying that, she got up and walked to the corner of the room.
The bathtub filled with hot water has been prepared, but the water temperature is not yet cold.
She closed the door curtain, took off her clothes, and stepped into the tub.
The hot water quickly enveloped her body, and she felt much more comfortable.
…
…
With a thought in Qi Xi's mind, invisible restrictions had risen and enveloped the air.
The ban lasts only for a brief moment.
But in this brief moment, no one could hear her conversation with Ye An.
"Qixi, please listen to my explanation."
Ye An quickly stood up.
Qi Xi leaned lazily on the seat, holding his chin in his hand and squinting slightly.
"Explanation? Explain what...?"
Ye An said: "Of course it was Twilight Saint who just said that..."
"Shhh."
Qi Xi snorted and made a gesture.
Although she had set up a ban, no one else could hear the two of them talking.
But she felt that she needed to maintain some vigilance and mystery.
Qi Xi stood up, walked to Ye An, and suddenly lifted Ye An's chin with his slender jade fingers.
"Are you wronged? No need to explain, of course I know it's impossible."
"It's just a little jealous, nothing important,"
"I just want to try to see if she has any thoughts about my person. Judging from the results, you are far more charming than I imagined. You have to be careful not to be deceived by her."
