Chapter 48

  But how could it be him? He actually helped her beat the queen?

  Is it possible?

  Astonishment, unbelievable astonishment, she couldn't believe that person was Xuan Yuan Ye.

  Xuanyuan Ye's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't respond.

  No answer is also no denial, and for him, it's just default approval.

  Meng Fu Ying's lips twitched violently, heavens, this matter is also too absurd, she hit the queen, while Xuan Yuan Ye helped outside, it's really...

  However, it's quite addictive...

  Anyway, he helped her, and Meng Fuying was about to thank him.

  But he saw a pair of eyes looking at her up and down, and couldn't help but ask in doubt, "What are you looking at?"

  Xuanyuan's lips curled up slightly at the corners, his eyebrows lightly raised, and his red lips moved slowly as he said, word by word, "The look just now was truly..."

  The words paused for a moment, as if searching for an appropriate adjective.

  Meng Fu's shadow stopped moving, and he suddenly remembered his own crazy appearance just now.

  He must have looked really bad, seeing him like that with a hesitant expression, I couldn't help but feel a bit depressed, and so I said in annoyance, "Really ugly, really terrifying, right?"

  Xuanyuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to suddenly say those two words. Her eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't speak up. However, the corner of her eyebrow seemed to twitch again.

  "Hmph, have you seen your match? Are you scared? If you're afraid, then don't marry me. Otherwise, I'll make sure your royal estate is never at peace every day." Meng Cuiying threatened opportunely.

  She knew that her sudden madness was indeed terrifying enough.

  If he's really scared and doesn't marry her, then it would be for the best.

  After all, a man like him would definitely want to marry a gentle and virtuous beauty who can manage the household well; she seems too unsuitable.

  "There are only a few people in the palace who know about this." Xuan Yuan Ye's sensual lips moved slightly again, and his low voice seemed to carry a hint of shallow smile.

  Meng Fu Ying was stunned again, what did he mean by saying that there were only a few people in his palace?

  There aren't many people around, so why be afraid of her making a fuss?

  Still...

  "Right, although your expression just now was indeed...” Seeing Meng Fu Ying's slightly stunned look, his lips curled up slightly, and his words paused for a moment. When she looked at him again, he continued, "But it didn't scare me, the king."

  Meng Fu Ying gazed at him with a slightly dazed expression, and for the moment, he seemed to have lost his usual coldness, replaced by an inexplicable strangeness.

  "Shadow girl, look at you, your face is all dirty." Just as she was slightly dazed, the Empress Dowager walked in again, gazing at her with a hint of a smile that held several layers of meaning.

  "Come here, let Grandma Emperor wipe it for you." Before Meng Cuiying could react, the handkerchief in the Empress Dowager's hand had already wiped her face.

  Meng Fu's subconscious furrowed her brow, how could her face possibly be dirty? Just now the empress and those palace maids didn't even touch her.

  As Na Pa approached, Meng Cuo Ying's eyes suddenly widened, and on this handkerchief, there was a familiar medicinal scent, which was the smell of the medicine that could remove her facial disguise.

  Could it be the Empress Dowager?

  Meng Fu's shadow was dark and startled, could it be that the Empress Dowager knew her current appearance was fake?

  How is this possible?

  At this moment, the Empress Dowager wanted Xuan Yuan Ye to see her true face! Meng Fu Ying's body stiffened slightly.

  She naturally understood the Empress Dowager's mind, but her thoughts were exactly the opposite of the Empress Dowager's. She didn't want Xuan Yuan Ye to see her true face, especially not now.

  "Empress Dowager." Meng Fu Ying's hand, slightly grasped the Empress Dowager's hand, the sudden change in address indicating her firm refusal at this moment.

  The empress dowager was slightly stunned, her eyes widening slightly, hiding a hint of unexpected surprise, and in her heart, she was shocked to the extreme, this little girl actually knew...

  Xuanyuan Ye was such a keen person, although he was far away, he still smelled the faint scent of medicine, and at this moment, the subtle movements of the Empress Dowager and Meng Cuixue were all in his eyes.

  His eyes flashed slightly, and when his gaze shifted to her face, the corners of his eyebrows furrowed for a moment, quickly hiding a hint of abnormality.

  "The Empress Dowager, I am really being wronged, I did not hit her, it was she who suddenly went mad..." Just then, the sound of the Empress's wailing cry came from outside.

  "Her Majesty, the Empress Dowager has given orders. No one is to disturb her." The guard outside said in a low voice, with no room for negotiation in his respectful tone.

  The Empress Dowager slightly furrowed her brow, gazed at Xuan Yuan Ye, and when she saw the somewhat unusual expression in his eyes, a faint smile played on her lips.

  Intelligent as she is, I'm afraid she has already understood, so there's no need for her to continue.

  Upon hearing the empress's wailing voice, his eyes suddenly sank, and he said in a cold tone, "Let her come in."

  She wanted to see how the queen would wriggle out of this one.

  Originally, she thought that Shadowy had really gone mad again, so some things could only be said by the Queen, and it was difficult to investigate clearly.

  But now, since Xiaoyu is pretending, then...

  "Empress Dowager, I..." The Empress rushed in hastily as soon as she heard the Empress Dowager's words, still disheveled and clearly having not had time to change, or perhaps intentionally letting the Empress Dowager see her pitiful state.

  But her wailing stopped abruptly when she saw Meng Fu Ying standing quietly beside the Empress Dowager.

  She thought Meng Fu Ying was at least crazy, but she didn't expect that Meng Fu Ying would be standing here perfectly fine, without a care in the world.

  In those disheveled eyes, there was a hint of panic and tension.

  "Do you have anything else to say?" The empress dowager saw the queen's emotional expression, and her face grew even colder. This woman still wanted to deceive her at this point!

  "Your Majesty..." The empress looked at Meng Cuiying, who was standing still with a calm face, and felt even more uncertain in her heart. For a moment, she didn't know how to speak.
