Chapter 243 - Unexpected discovery

Xiao Qingqian's heart heavily tugged for no reason.

"Qing`er, this duke …"

It was unknown where Wei Qing got the courage from, but he raised his hand to cover his mouth, preventing the words that were about to spill out from his mouth.

"I know what you want to say, but I can't deceive myself. You are very good, even to the point that those women all say that you have a heavenly appearance, and they admire you very much. However, I really don't want to ask for a completely unrealistic love that doesn't belong to me. If it's like you said before, then please respect me! "

Every extra word that Wei Qing said caused his heart to sink.

She had simply rejected him!

She actually made the words sound so beautiful.

If he truly had the appearance of a heavenly being, how could she not fall in love with him?

Thinking about how Wei Qing had fallen in love with Chu Yin before, and how he felt so hurt when he heard that he had been granted a marriage, Xiao Qingqian was actually extremely angry in his heart.

He pursed his lips and stared into her eyes.

Wei Qing was anxious, afraid that he would do something.

Fortunately, footsteps could be heard.

Wei Qing heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly slid down the pillar little by little. Finally, she was rid of Xiao Qingqian's shackles.

Chen Cheng swallowed his saliva when he saw Xiao Qingqian's face that was as black as ink and felt the cramped atmosphere.

"Your Highness..."

"Scram!" Xiao Qingqian turned all the anger in his heart into a single word.

Chen Cheng was confused, his mouth twitched as he looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing forced a smile, and indicated for him to leave the room first.

The two of them slowly walked outside while holding their breaths.

Xiao Qingqian clenched his fist, and landed a heavy punch on the pillar. "Crack", made Wei Qing feel her legs go limp.

Finally reaching the outside, Wei Qing asked about the progress of Chen Cheng's situation. Chen Cheng said: "Princess, this subordinate has only temporarily given you a mission. I'm afraid you will have to wait a while for the specific operation."

"Will there be any results before the Rites of Heavenly Worship?" Wei Qing asked.

Jin Qiao’er's and Liu's's plan was to stay in the Rites of Heavenly Worship, she always liked to completely settle things here, so she had to do it before the Rites of Heavenly Worship.

"It should be possible. After all, they are carefully selected people."

Receiving Chen Cheng's guarantee, Wei Qing snapped his fingers, "I'm not going back, just tell him and I'll go back first."

With that said, she hurried in the direction of the palace gate.

Chen Cheng looked at her back and opened his mouth.

With Princess Hua-Yang's speed, it was possible that the palace gates would be locked by the time she reached!

Wei Qing walked very fast, afraid that Xiao Qingqian would suddenly appear like a ghost from behind him.

However, even when she arrived at the entrance of the palace, it was still peaceful and peaceful. Everything went smoothly. She slowly breathed out a mouthful of foul air as she looked at the vast sky full of stars.

Just as he was about to exit the palace gates, he was stopped by a guard at the gates.

"Just let it go?" No matter how Wei Qing criticized them, all of them still had ice-cold expressions on their faces, as though they had no intentions of opening the palace gates for her.

Wei Qing took two steps forward and angrily glared at them, "You guys are really going too far! If it was Xiao Qingqian, would you guys still not open the palace door? "

One of them said in a low voice, "Princess Chu, after the palace rules have been locked, unless it's an imperial order, no one can leave the palace."

Your sister, your sister!

In a short period of time, countless of f * ckers ran wild in Wei Qing's heart!

She angrily glared at them and turned around to leave.

She really did not want to go back and stay alone with Xiao Qingqian, nor did she want to be seen a joke by him.

Wei Qing thought about her previous trip back to the forbidden grounds. Her curiosity was piqued, and she nimbly avoided the patrolling guards, walking towards the direction of the forbidden grounds.

Before he even got close, he could already hear the ghostly wails, which made his hair stand on end.

She pursed her lips, wanting to return back the way she came. Compared to the Ghost Roar, Xiao Qingqian was not that scary!

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a ray of yellow light heading towards the forbidden area.

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly and soundlessly retreated to a nearby low water pool.

Old Emperor didn't come out even after entering for a long time.

Wei Qing could not help but think, since it was a forbidden grounds, why could the Old Emperor come in as he please?

Could it be …

Thinking about it, could it be that the ancient emperor really did have a True Dragon as protection?

Wei Qing quickly shook her head and rejected.

They had not heard the ghostly wail since they had entered the forbidden grounds from the Old Emperor.

She looked at the guards at the entrance very seriously, feeling that it was normal for them to scream like that.

Could there be another secret?

Wei Qing thought back to and how she had been locked under the Western Lake. She would sometimes let out creepy sounds out of anger.

Coincidentally, in the summer, there were mosquitoes that landed on Wei Qing's face.

Wei Qing's face was full of vexation. She tried to grab it but she was worried that it would break!

It was too itchy not to scratch.

This won't do, that won't do, she could only pinch her face hard.

When the palace door with mottled paint on it finally opened, Wei Qing held her breath. Borrowing the dim moonlight, she stared intently at Old Emperor's face, which was so thick that it seemed like thick ink could drip from it.

After confirming that Old Emperor had truly left, she left the water supply and headed towards Xiao Qingqian's direction without stopping.

"He hasn't left the palace?" When Xiao Qingqian saw her enter, he couldn't help but frown and ask her.

Wei Qing coughed lightly, "Do you know what I just saw?"

Xiao Qingqian frowned, his gaze falling on the red packet on her face that was swollen from being bitten by mosquitoes, "What do you see?"

Originally, he was angry at Wei Qing, but seeing her in such a state, he could not help but feel sympathy for her.

"You must still remember the matter of the Forbidden Area."

Xiao Qingqian's originally creased eyebrows tightened, "What do you want to say?"

"I just saw the emperor enter the forbidden area!"

Hearing that, Xiao Qingqian immediately stood up, he walked to the door and looked around warily, "Why did royal father enter the forbidden grounds?"

After all, that place was haunted, and the rumors were very evil. Why did royal father want to go to that place?

Wei Qing curled her lips. "You are the Emperor's own son, if you don't know, how would I know?"

Xiao Qingqian's intuition was not that simple. He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Wei Qing unblinkingly, "Don't mention this matter to anyone else."

Wei Qing revealed a look of looking at an idiot. Unless she felt that the head on his neck was too heavy, who would talk about this to an outsider?

He pinched Wei Qing's chin and Wei Qing's back tensed up, causing the atmosphere to become extremely strange.

"I've made myself clear, you …"

"This face seems to have been bitten by a venomous mosquito!" Xiao Qingqian said warmly.
