C12 What? Stay for the Night?
"Situ Luoxue, can't you have some normal thoughts in your head? I am sitting here, you can sleep."
Helian Yichen's face actually showed a hint of anger.
When Luoxue heard this, she almost fell down. Just now, he said that he was not interested in watching, and now he wanted to stay overnight. What did that mean?
Helian Yichen did not even look at her this time, but instead stared at the palace door.
He stayed here for her own good. Before he knew what happened to her, he had the responsibility to protect her chastity.
Although not many people knew about what happened in the Cold Palace, the human tongue was terrifying. Before he thought of how to execute her, he would not let her suffer any mishaps.
The Empress, the leader of the six palaces, her reputation was very important. Staying here tonight was just a cover. He did not have a fetish for children.
"If you know that I want to sleep, then can you go back to your own place to sit?"
Being shouted at by Helian Yichen, Luoxue felt very uncomfortable. Everyone knew what a husband and wife were, and he said he wanted to stay here. How could she not think of it?
"I don't have a suitable empress candidate for now, so you must continue to do it. I don't want anything to happen in the palace tomorrow."
Helian Yichen's face was dark. What a woman who did not know what was good for her. It seemed that he had not been here for a long time, and this woman had actually learned to talk back to him. Could it be that this was ordered by her father?
"You mean that you have found a suitable candidate and are ready to replace the Empress?"
Luo Xue originally did not care, but now that Helian Yichen had said it so directly, anyone would feel uncomfortable.
"Didn't you already know about this? In the palace, only the people I approve of can live in the palace. You are just the Empress Dowager's chosen one."
Helian Yichen sneered. The reason he married her back then was purely because of politics. She was just a pawn.
"Can you not speak so hurtfully?"
Hearing that, Luo Xue was a little annoyed. Did he think that he was some kind of celebrity, that all the women in the world would want him?
"I am only telling you the truth. You should know this better than me. Next time, if you play tricks like today again, I won't be polite anymore." Helian Yichen's tone became even more malicious.
"The Emperor is really considerate. If you want to leave, you can leave now. I won't mind being laughed at. Besides, I have a new plan. I hope that the Emperor can quickly choose a candidate. I am also in a hurry to leave the palace. "
Luo Xue snorted. He disliked her, so why didn't she want him? If it wasn't for giving him face, she would have flown him away a long time ago.
"Leave the palace in a hurry? Situ Luoxue, are you in a hurry to leave the palace to report the news, or are you in a hurry to find a man?" Helian Yichen snorted.
When Luo Xue heard that, her face alternated between green and white. It was him who was abnormal, but she didn't care anymore. He was willing to sit wherever he wanted to sit. Anyway, she could sleep.
"Whatever you think, you just need to find someone."
Luo Xue yawned and went to bed without caring that her hair was still wet.
Originally, she wanted to call out Xiao Yin under the bed, but she thought that there must be dust under the bed, so she stopped.
She slept with her face facing inwards, but she couldn't fall asleep at this time. It was as if there were always eyes staring at her, but she couldn't tell Helian Yichen, afraid that it would be the opposite.
As long as she closed her eyes, some ancient scenes would appear in Luo Xue's mind, making her very conflicted.
Could it be that she had to accept Situ Luoxue's memories just because she had changed her body? That was a very painful thing.
Helian Yichen looked at the motionless shadow on the bed and guessed in his heart. He had not seen her for a month, so why had she changed so much?
He remembered that the last time they met was when she was fifteen years old. He had organized a birthday banquet for her, inviting ministers and family members. At that time, she would always send him a shy smile.
But today, when he saw her again, she was like a different person. There was no love in her eyes at all. She was very unfamiliar and even somewhat disdainful.
What made him the most puzzled was that he couldn't see what she was thinking. This was the first time he, Helian Yichen, could not see through her.
Helian Yichen had a special ability since he was born. He could see what others were thinking. Originally, there was only one person he could not understand, and that person was Situ Luoxue's father, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, Situ Hong.
It was also because he could not understand Situ Hong that he married Situ Luoxue. He used the information he saw in her heart to grasp the movements of that old fox, but today, something unexpected happened. He actually could not understand the thoughts of this little girl, which made him feel like he was going crazy.
But now, he could not see the thoughts of the father and daughter. If Situ Hong did anything in the future, how would he deal with it?
Could it be that little fox?
Helian Yichen's gaze shifted to the bed. Could it be that the fox was playing tricks?
"Can you change your position? If you keep looking like this, how can I sleep?"
Luo Xue sat up helplessly and protested to Helian Yichen.
"Empress, should you speak to me in this tone?"
Helian Yichen did not move, but his voice was clearly displeased. Since he stepped into the Phoenix Cry Palace, he had not heard her call him Emperor, nor did he call himself a concubine.
"Then what kind of tone should I use to speak to you?" Luo Xue was silent as she looked at Helian Yichen through the curtain.
She had never learned the rules of the palace and did not know what kind of tone to use to speak to the Emperor. She definitely would not use a humble tone to speak to him.
In her mind, everyone was equal. He was not her leader, nor was he hers. There was no need for her to follow him.
"At the very least, you should call me Emperor. And in front of me, you don't need to teach me what to call you."
Helian Yichen tried to think calmly, but he was used to seeing people's thoughts. Facing a soul that he could not see through, it was like he was in a raging fire. This feeling made him very uneasy.
"Your concubine? Do you enjoy the feeling of being high and mighty, being chased after by others?" Luo Xue laid back on the bed, looking at the top of the bed. There was a bedcover embroidered with a colorful phoenix on it. It was very gorgeous, but everything was so unreal.
As soon as she said this, Luo Xue felt the killing intent. Helian Yichen wanted to kill her? Why?
