The silver moon hangs high in the night sky.
At this moment, the palace gates were closed and no one could enter or leave unless there was an emergency.
Even if Qin Wenzhen and the other three wanted to go home, it was impossible.
Thinking of the people who were anxiously waiting at home and today's wedding, the four of them all lowered their heads, feeling unhappy.
Nangong Huoyue brought four people and quickly arrived at Yaohua Palace.
She seemed to have just noticed the wedding gown on Luo Qingzhou and asked in surprise, "Sir, are you getting married today?"
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "Yes."
Nangong Huoyue was slightly startled, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Is it with Miss Qin Er, lovers finally get married?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes."
Nangong Huoyue's eyes moved and she smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir. However, did you and the eldest lady of the Qin family get divorced, or..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Divorced."
"oh?"
Nangong Huoyue's eyebrows moved, a hint of surprise and confusion appeared in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and thanked him.
Nangong Huoyue sighed lightly and said with some regret: "Tonight should be the wedding night of Sir and Second Miss Qin. Unfortunately, the city gates are closed now, so we can only wait until tomorrow night. In fact, it doesn't matter. Since Sir and Second Miss Qin like each other, they can have their wedding night anytime."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Your Highness is right."
Nangong Huoyue turned around and said, "Yuewu, take Lord Qin, Young Master Qin, and Miss Xiachan downstairs to rest first. The master and I have something to discuss tonight."
Yuewu bowed her head and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Then he said to Qin Wenzheng and the other two, "Sir Qin, Young Master Qin, Miss Xia Chan, please come in."
Qin Wen Zheng knew that the eldest princess suddenly rushed over to rescue tonight, and his son-in-law would definitely have to pay some price. He probably wanted to discuss what he could do to help her tonight, so he did not hesitate. He immediately bowed his head and said goodbye with Qin Chuan.
Xia Chan stood there, motionless.
Several people looked at her.
Luo Qingzhou knew that at this time, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so he went over and whispered: "Chanchan, go down and rest. I'll talk to His Highness, it's okay."
Xia Chan still looked at him stubbornly, unwilling to leave.
Luo Qingzhou gently held her hand, looked at her tenderly and said, "Chanchan, be obedient. I will come to see you later."
Xia Chan lowered her head slightly and was silent for a while before she broke free from his hand and turned away.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her back, his eyes slightly stunned.
"Sir, you are really amazing. You should have collected all the beauties in the Qin Mansion, right?"
Nangong Huoyue said with a half-smile.
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze and said respectfully: "Your Highness, can you find a way to send someone to the Qin Mansion to inform them? I'm afraid they will worry and have trouble sleeping all night."
Nangong Huoyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I have just sent someone to notify them."
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Nangong Huoyue raised her hand and invited, "Sir, please, let's go to the study to talk."
Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate, followed her into the palace.
In the study.
The red candles are burning and the incense is curling.
There was a red carpet on the ground, a red curtain hung in front of the window, and a scent like the fragrance of flowers floated in the air.
For some reason, Luo Qingzhou suddenly thought of the drug that Bailing gave him.
Of course, he couldn't help but think back to what happened the last time he entered the palace.
"Sir, please take a seat."
The two took off their shoes at the door. Nangong Huoyue, wearing snow-white silk stockings, walked to the table, sat down, and extended her hand to invite them.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the opposite side and knelt down.
The maid quickly brought the teapot and teacups and poured hot tea for them.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the maid and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not take the initiative to mention the last incident with Hua Gu.
Because no matter whether the incident was instigated by the princess or not, the other party had failed, so there was no need for him to mention it to avoid embarrassment.
Today, the eldest princess can be said to have saved everyone in the Qin family. Even if she had arrived a step later, he would have exposed his identity as a warrior and killed people, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
Therefore, no matter what the princess asked him to do today, he had no reason to refuse.
Except for that, of course.
Because tonight is his wedding night with the second young lady.
"Sir, tonight is supposed to be your wedding night, but I'm asking you to stay here and chat with me. I feel really bad about it."
Nangong Huoyue picked up the teacup and said apologetically, "I will use tea instead of wine to offer you a cup as a token of my apology."
"Your Highness, you are too kind. It should be Qingzhou who is respecting Your Highness and thanking Your Highness for saving us."
Luo Qingzhou picked up the teacup, took a look at the tea in the cup, and without hesitation, drank it all in one gulp.
Nangong Huoyue smiled slightly, but did not drink it. Instead, she put down the teacup in her hand, looked at him and said, "Sir, this tea is poisonous."
Luo Qingzhou remained calm: "Qingzhou's life was given by His Highness. If His Highness wants to take it away, Qingzhou will never dare to resist."
Nangong Huoyue smiled and said, "It's not a deadly poison, it's just an aphrodisiac. Sir, I'm attracted to you, but I don't know how to really tie your heart, so... I can only use the beauty trap. Sir, when you taught me the beauty trap, I was thinking that a talent like you is naturally qualified for me to use the beauty trap. Sir, you won't blame me, right?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head to look at the teacup, was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Your Highness, can it not be tonight? Qingzhou is willing to accept it at any other time."
The eldest princess has already put in all her sincerity to help him and save him, so naturally he should also give something to put her at ease.
Since she thought that this was the only way for her to feel at ease, then he should just accept it.
Time and again, he knew the consequences of rejecting such a terrible woman.
Nangong Huoyue smiled and said, "Sir, I haven't even said which beauty I want to use yet, have you agreed so quickly?"
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this: "Isn't it a flower bone?"
Nangong Huoyue smiled and said, "Hua Gu failed her last mission again, which means she is no longer useful, so I have given her to Uncle Duan. Uncle Duan likes her very much. I heard that he has been with her every day recently and is so happy that he doesn't even care about Xiao Rui."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned and fell silent.
Nangong Huoyue looked at him for a while and said, "Sir, do you feel the slightest bit of sadness or regret?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head slightly and said frankly: "Of course there will be, Miss Huagu is so beautiful. More importantly, last time when Qingzhou was bathing in the back, she had been in the same bathtub with Qingzhou. Qingzhou had seen her naked body and took advantage of her."
Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then why did you give up in the end?"
Luo Qingzhou stroked the empty teacup in his hand, paused, and said: "Qingzhou is a man, and it is naturally difficult for him to hold back in the face of that situation. But it is precisely because Qingzhou is a man that he knows what to do and what not to do. His Highness wants to trade her with Qingzhou like a commodity, but Qingzhou can't bear it. Also, Qingzhou can't let his wife down at home."
Nangong Huoyue sighed and said, "Sir, you are a gentleman. You know how to respect women and be kind to them. Unfortunately, you forgot the rules. Sir, you are not strong enough yet, but you want to do things according to the rules in your heart. Not only is it wrong, but you will also lose a lot. I wanted to give her another chance, but recently I need Uncle Duan's help. I saw that you really don't like her, so I sent her away. Sir, will you blame me?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Qingzhou has no right to blame Your Highness, nor does he dare to."
Nangong Huoyue stared at him for a while, then suddenly stood up slowly, raised her arms, and turned gently in front of him, her red skirt spinning and her long hair swaying, and asked, "Sir, what do you think of me?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, his expression froze: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Nangong Huoyue looked at him calmly and said, "Sir, you are poisoned and the poison will break out soon. I have given the flower bones away and there are no other women here, so I want to ask you, am I beautiful? Are you willing to go to Wushan with me and enjoy the pleasure of love?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingzhou's face suddenly changed. He hurriedly bowed his head and clasped his hands, his forehead almost touching the table. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, this matter cannot be joked about. Even if Qingzhou had ten thousand more courage, he would not dare to have any improper thoughts about Your Highness."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes and said, "Sir, do you think I am not beautiful?"
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Your Highness is of course beautiful. Your Highness's beauty is unique in the world."
Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "Sir, can you lie? Are your two wives not as beautiful as me?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Their beauty is another kind of beauty. Your Highness's beauty is unique."
One is a cold and beautiful girl, as beautiful as a fairy; the other is a graceful and moving girl, with a delicate beauty.
The one in front of me has a kind of beauty that is intimidating, superior, majestic and domineering.
Nangong Huoyue was quiet for a while, then said, "Sir, don't be afraid. Raise your head and look at me."
Luo Qingzhou still lowered his head and bowed his hands, saying: "Your Highness, Qingzhou is timid and may not be able to chat with Your Highness tonight. Please let Qingzhou go back and rest."
Nangong Huoyue laughed, then her face returned to normal. She walked to the table and sat down, saying softly, "Sir, I was just joking with you. Raise your head and look who's here."
Luo Qingzhou raised his head slightly and saw a pair of snow-white and delicate girl's feet walking on the red carpet next to him. Then, a familiar figure knelt down beside him, bowed his head, his hair hanging down, and his chest was tall and straight.
He was stunned for a moment, raised his head and turned to look.
Hua Gu was wearing a bright red dress, kneeling beside him, her long eyelashes drooping, tears in her eyes, she said in a trembling voice: "My lord, your highness did not give Hua Gu away. Hua Gu will always be yours. Hua Gu will always wait for you, until you are willing, or until Hua Gu dies..."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled, retracted his gaze and looked across.
Nangong Huoyue had a faint smile on her face. She picked up the teacup on the table, drank it all, and said, "Sir, there is no poison in the tea. I was just joking with you. I hope you won't blame me."
Luo Qingzhou's back was covered in cold sweat.
It turned out that His Highness was testing him. If he had given a wrong answer, he would have been...
