Chapter 18

  Thinking of their purpose for coming this time, the emperor's eyes that were slightly flashing quickly turned cold, and the guards behind him looked at the emperor's cold eyes with a deep meaning, looking towards a courtyard in front.

  The sound of the zither was also coming from that direction.

  The emperor's lips curled slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Murong Lie, the old fox, wouldn't easily show his tail. Had he deliberately led them here this time?

  No matter what, he had to go and take a look, lost in thought, his footsteps quickly moved towards the courtyard.

  The elegant sound of the piano, continuously echoing, has a special kind of sorrow, yet also a strong sense of pride. It's not that majestic and free-spirited, but it has an irresistible charm that one can't ignore. With each step closer, that kind of...

  When Murong Lie saw the guard's eyes with a deeper meaning, he was secretly shocked. Looking at the direction the emperor was walking towards, his eyes sank involuntarily. It seemed that this time the emperor came, having received some news. No wonder...

  No matter how old and cunning he was, at this moment he couldn't help but panic, only when the elegant piano sound entered his ears, a sharp light flashed quickly in his eyes.

  Three years ago, the Emperor suddenly rushed into the Murong Mansion on the night of his new marriage to Xue Er. He had already guessed that the person the Emperor truly wanted to bring into the palace should be Ling Feng. He thought that the Emperor might have seen Ling Feng and mistakenly taken her for Ling Xue, which was why he allowed Ling Xue to enter the palace. From the Emperor's unusual decisions, he understood that the Emperor had been enchanted by that girl Ling Feng.

  This was a good opportunity, he thought with a self-satisfied smile, or his plan would soon be realized.

  "Your Majesty, my daughter has been frail since childhood and has been following Qingfeng Daozhang since she was young. Outsiders didn't know I had another daughter until now, when her health slightly improved. I brought her back with a worried heart, not expecting to disturb Your Majesty." Murong Lie said with a hint of fear, but his eyes gleamed with calculation as he glanced at the emperor, "That girl did sneak back home several times due to homesickness, but because she couldn't adapt, Qingfeng Daozhang took her back each time."

  The emperor was slightly stunned, could it be Qingfeng Daozhang? Three years ago, Xuan Yuan Chen said that the person who took a woman away from the Murong Mansion overnight was indeed Qingfeng Daozhang. So is it possible? ???????

  Three years had passed, and the shadow in his mind not only hadn't faded for a moment, but instead became clearer and clearer, especially when facing those flattering faces in the palace.

  Perhaps it is because we cannot get it, that we desire it more. Perhaps it is because we are not allowed to have it, that we want it so badly.

  Unable to contain the anticipation in his heart, the Emperor's footsteps quickened involuntarily, heading straight towards the direction of the piano sound. His hand, hidden in his sleeve, made a subtle gesture to the guards.
