Chapter Thirty Yesterday

  The dull imperial banquet finally came to an end after Mu Beifeng said a few words of courtesy! Xia Tong immediately pulled Qing Li out of the Luoshen Palace as soon as he turned around and left!

  This palace banquet is suffocating her!

  Moyun Sheng's eyes held a mysterious and sentimental gaze, Beijiang Jie's eyes were filled with contemplation, and Mubofeng's inquiring eyes! All of this made her feel suffocated, as if she had lost her breath.

  Outside the Rakusha Palace, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The cool breeze blows gently, making Xiaotong feel much clearer all of a sudden!

  Waiting for a moment at the palace gate, Mu Beichen and Liu Ying came in with courtesy!

  "The imperial concubine has truly opened my eyes tonight!" Mu Beichen supported the weak and delicate Liuying as they walked towards the carriage that had been prepared in advance by the guards, and casually said a sentence as they passed by.

  Is he praising me or mocking me?

  She stood there in a daze, savoring his tone, which no longer had the coldness of before. Xia Tong's heart skipped a beat as she was certain he was praising her!

  "It's fine if you don't look at me with admiration! Just looking at me normally is enough!" Xia Tong's mood improved, and her words became less guarded.

  Mo Beichen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Xiaotong, his face expressionless. "Your Highness isn't following me back to the palace, are you waiting for the Second Prince of Lirui here?"

  A soft voice with a hint of mockery! Directly pointing out Xia Tong's hidden worries!

  "Oh!"

  Xiatong responded with a sound and chased after him, only to realize later that she had run out of the Luoshen Palace in an attempt to avoid meeting Muyun Sheng.

  "Ah Yan!"

  A soft call stopped Xia Tong's foot that was about to step onto the horse carriage, and he mechanically turned around, forcing a smile on his face as he looked at Mu Yunsheng not far behind him: "Second Brother!"

  He was taken aback, then smiled and responded with a "Hmm!" Standing still, he watched as Xia Tong stepped onto the carriage, a hint of loss flashing in his starry eyes. "Ayan is returning to the manor, doesn't even want to see me, his long-unseen second brother?"

  Having seen Qingli standing beside her in a daze, staring at Muyun Sheng, Xiaotong put down her foot and thought for a moment. As the princess of Lijing, she should have welcomed the people from Lijing, let alone her second brother who had been deeply in love with her! But Xiaotong was an imposter, and couldn't bear to see the light of day! At this time, she would rather find a crack in the ground to hide in!

  "Second Brother, what are you talking about? I'm going back to the mansion with Wang Ye, aren't I?" Xia Tong said with a dry smile.

  She has changed, become a stranger, and become somewhat unrecognizable to him! Mu Yunsheng's eyes were fixed tightly on the delicate face in front of him: Has she fallen in love with him?

  "Your Highness, Second Prince!" Unbeknownst to him, Mu Bei Chen had emerged from the carriage and walked out from behind Xia Tong, giving a fist bump to Wu Yun Sheng.

  "Prince Bei!" Mu Yunsheng also returned a courtesy: "I'm disturbing Prince Bei!"

  She glanced at Xia Tong, who was fidgeting with anxiety, and then looked at Mu Yunsheng, whose eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and everything became clear. "Since he's the brother from her maternal family, the imperial concubine should naturally treat him well!"

  Are you ill? It's really a case of "one pot can't be opened so another one is used". Xia Tong looked at him incredulously.

  "It's really unnecessary to entertain me, Yun Sheng will return home tomorrow, and tonight I want to reunite with my sister is true!" Yun Sheng looked at Xia Tong with full of expectation.

  "That's right, it's just that the queen consort caught a chill last night, you should send her back early!" Mu Beichen said to Xiaotong, and in his eyes, Xiaotong surprisingly discovered a hint of warmth!
