Yan Xijun's mind was preoccupied as she played the zither, and several times she almost made mistakes, fortunately, there were his Xiao sounds beside her to cover up for her.

  It seems she was right in her previous guess, he really came for revenge, and isn't this the moment of revenge?!

  He must have used a disguise on his face, and his true appearance should be that handsome and elegant face like a god. Now he is definitely in an ordinary appearance to numb Chu Yixuan.

  What should I do? What is the best thing to do?

  Should he continue helping him in the palace to find the "Wordless Heavenly Book" or should he go tell Chu Yixuan that the King of Hell is going to rebel and take revenge?

  Yan Xijun was hesitant and indecisive in her heart, and her mind was no longer on the piano. She barely made it to the end, but before she could even catch her breath, a threatening voice came from beside her ear.

  "Don't forget about the poison on you, it's time for it to take effect!"

  It's as if he has X-ray eyes and can see through people's hearts.

  She nervously glanced at him, and she had never forgotten the poison on her body. It was because of this poison that she didn't dare to act rashly.

  "Don't even think about betraying me, unless you don't want her to live." Chu Chengming said calmly, looking at the girl's expression, seemingly really thinking of betraying him.

  "Despicable!" Yan Xijun gave him a big white eye, once again realizing his despicable tactics, only knowing how to threaten people with others' weaknesses.

  "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare betray you!" Yan Xijun said in a low voice: "Give me time, and I'll find what you want as soon as possible."

  "Hmm, I'm waiting for your good news. Remember, those who betray me will not have a good ending!" Chu Chengming coldly warned, his body was getting worse and worse, he had to seize the time, this revenge, no one could stop him.

  Those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish!

  From that year on, after witnessing his tribesmen die one by one in front of him, his heart also died, and he became cold-blooded and ruthless.

  After the performance was over, Yan Xikun made an excuse that she wasn't feeling well and left the banquet. She slowly walked back to Ganquan Palace with Xue Lian and Wen Qin.

  The concubines and palace maids in the harem all ran to the Qiankun Hall to watch the commotion, Yan Xijun knew that Wenqin and Xuelian had not had enough fun yet, so she let them go and followed them to play.

  After they left, Yan Xijun didn't even take off her shoes and lay down on the bed randomly. For a while, she couldn't fall asleep again. Too many things happened tonight, and those messages hadn't been digested yet.

  Lying in bed quietly recalling the scenes at the banquet, what still shocked her was the matter of the white-clothed man, Meng Wang. Did Chu Yixuan not know anything about it?

  Gu Qingrou should have known his identity, perhaps tonight's ensemble she was following his orders, so specially arranged.

  She was so absorbed in thought that she didn't even notice when Chu Yixuan came over, until a handsome face appeared in front of her and she suddenly woke up with a start.

  "What are you thinking about?" Chu Yixuan lay beside her, his eyes fixed intently on hers as he asked.

  Yan Xijun was shocked and wanted to get up immediately, but before she could stand up, he had already wrapped his arms around her and pressed her back down.

  "How did you get here? Is the banquet over? Why didn't they inform me, so I could go pick her up?" Yan Xijun asked in a string of questions, trying to cover up the panic in her heart. She had just been thinking about how to implement her plan to find the book.

  "The banquet is over, it's me who didn't let them inform you. And I came to your place, do you have any opinion?"

  "No." The two faces were very close, Yan Xijun smelled the wine breath sprayed from his mouth and felt very uncomfortable. She pushed him away slightly: "Your Majesty, rest first, I'll have someone bring water to serve you for washing your face."

  "No need for that, you haven't answered My question yet, what were you thinking just now?"

  Yan Xijun unconsciously shifted her gaze: "I didn't think of anything."

  "You're deceiving me again." Chu Yixuan savagely pressed her head down, forcing her to look at him. "Look at me and honestly tell me, are you thinking of the Third Imperial Prince of Xia?"

  "No!" Yan Xijun said helplessly. She had thought of that Third Prince, but it was just a fleeting memory.

  Chu Yixuan stared at her for a full minute, as if he didn't believe what she said.

  Finally, he asked: "Do you hate me? Is it because I didn't let you go with him?"

  Yan Xijun honestly replied: "No!"

  Upon hearing her response, Chu Yixuan suddenly became enraged: "No no, can't you say a few more words? Or do you think there's nothing to talk about between us?"

  "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it that way." Yan Xijun secretly regretted it, as if he had indeed been thinking about it all along, but who made him stand so close to her, she was nervous!

  She has always been afraid of him, especially afraid of being with him, and when she is with him, she will be nervous for half a day.

  Chu Yixuan was infuriated by her, but couldn't do anything to her, so he let go of her and said: "Let someone come over to attend to my dressing and bathing."

  Yes!

  Yan Xijun took orders and rushed out.

  When Chu Yixuan was bathing, she also hastily finished her bath and changed out of that thick and heavy outfit, putting on a simple and light set of clothes.

  Although there is only one main hall in Ganquan Palace, it is also her room, but now it has been occupied by Chu Yixuan. She can only go to sleep in the side hall. She doesn't understand why he has his own palace and still wants to occupy her palace.

  She had barely lain down when the thing she had been praying wouldn't happen still happened, Luo Zhong came to ask her with a lantern, saying that the emperor wanted her to serve in bed.

  Attending to sleep, attending to sleep, and again attending to sleep!

  As soon as she heard these two words, she was so scared that her legs were trembling and shaking.

  Lu Zhong couldn't help but give her a puzzled look and said, "I've never seen a consort like you before, still hiding from serving in the bedchamber."

  It was alright, when she nervously followed Luo Zhong to the main hall, Chu Yixuan had already lain down. She stood at the door, which had been closed by Luo Zhong. Advancing wasn't an option, nor was retreating.

  It was him who spoke out, directly ordering: "Come over."

  She moved her feet laboriously over there, she felt that this distance was too short, so short that she wanted to walk it again.

  "Hurry up!" Chu Yixuan said impatiently after seeing her dawdling for half a day.

  "Oh." Yan Xijun received his cold gaze and hastily took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

  As soon as she climbed onto the bed, he pressed down on her body without any courtesy. She thought he was going to unleash his beastly nature again and closed her eyes in fear.

  "You... are you afraid of me?" Chu Yixuan asked tenderly, unable to resist stroking her hair as he saw her pitiful appearance.

  "Uh-huh." Yan Xijun nodded unconsciously, but thinking that it might irritate him, he quickly shook his head and said, "No!"

  "Silly girl." Chu Yixuan patted her head in a good mood, "I like to hear the truth, and I also like your straightforward personality."

  “……”

  Yan Xijun looked at him in confusion, what was wrong with him tonight?

  "Am I very frightening?"

  "Hmm!"

  "Heh heh. Are you afraid that I'll eat you tonight?"

  "Scared." Yan Xijun nodded heavily and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, can... we... just... simply... sleep?"

  "Hmm, alright, I'll grant your wish today." Chu Yixuan rolled off her and wrapped his arms around her, falling asleep.

  The next day, after Yan Xisheng woke up, she received his imperial edict, specially appointing her as Zhaorong and promoting her several ranks, with the rank of Zhaoyi just ahead.

  This has never happened in any dynasty before, where a concubine rose through several ranks, but it unbelievably happened to her.
