Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 351
On the street, people passing by come and go, all come for the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival.

The Emperor Chen held the lantern in his hand and frowned slightly. Occasionally, he looked around, waiting for Su Qingning's return.

He was already handsome and tall, many women passing by secretly looked at him.

Standing not far away, Xu Linlang was very dissatisfied when she saw a woman sizing him up. She wished she could rush forward and tell others that this was the man she liked.

But she can't, because she is nothing now.

"Qian'er, look at me, is it alright?" Greeting Qian'er, Xu Linlang looked expectantly, Qian'er looked carefully and nodded with a smile.

"Miss is the most beautiful, it's very appropriate!" Xu Linlang's appearance is still good, and there are many people who go to Xu's mansion to ask for marriage, but she has other ideas in her heart, so the marriage has not been settled.

"You're the one with a sweet mouth." After hearing Qian'er's words, Xu Linlang smiled with satisfaction and walked towards Emperor Chen. She felt that now was the best opportunity.

He went to look for Su Qingning's hidden guard, but before he returned, the emperor was waiting, when suddenly a scent hit him.

He has never liked spices very much, so subconsciously, he glanced in the direction of the fragrance.

Xu Linlang was planning to speak to Emperor Chen, but she didn't want to, the other party suddenly looked over, she was overjoyed, and took a step forward, "My lord, I didn't expect that we are so destined to meet again?"

The Emperor Chen looked at her, because of her approaching, the fragrance on his body became stronger and stronger, and the Emperor Chen subconsciously took a step back.

The woman in front of him was very strange, the emperor only took one look at her, and then looked away. As for what she said about being destined, the emperor didn't take it to heart at all.

His actions made the smile on Xu Linlang's face froze. She didn't expect that the person in front of her would treat her like this.

"My lord, why are you ignoring him?" Biting her lips unwillingly, Xu Linlang spoke again.

The Emperor Chen glanced at the crowd again, but there was still no sign of Su Qingning.

"My lord!" Being repeatedly ignored by the emperor, Xu Linlang stomped her feet and her voice amplified a little. With such a big body, she was rarely ignored like this.

The voice in his ears was a bit noisy, the Emperor Chen looked away, looked at Xu Linlang who was at the side, looked at her face, the Emperor probably thought about it, but had no impression at all.

Seeing that Emperor Chen was finally willing to look at him, Xu Linlang showed a smile on his face, "My lord, you also came out to look at the lights, right? Why don't we go together?"

Expectation flashed in his eyes, Xu Linlang very much hoped that the man in front of him would agree to him.

Emperor Chen was waiting for Su Qingning to come back, how could he agree to her invitation, and when he was about to decline, a hidden guard came out of the crowd and came to him.

Emperor Chen looked at him, and after hearing a few words from him in a low voice, he turned his eyes back to Xu Linlang.

"What's your name?" A deep voice sounded, and Emperor Chen asked Xu Linlang.

"I... My name is Xu Linlang." She said shyly, Xu Linlang's face turned red.

"Let's go to the teahouse over there." After receiving the response, Emperor Chen turned his head and gave some instructions to the hidden guard, and then walked towards the teahouse first.

Xu Linlang just felt dizzy, but she didn't expect the emperor to really agree to her request.

Seeing that he was gone, she hurriedly followed behind him and walked towards the teahouse.

The dark guard who came just now was reporting back and forth on the situation at Su Qingning's side.

Three of the people who kidnapped her before were killed by the hidden guards, and the remaining one was detained by the hidden guards after interrogation. There must be a living witness as a witness.

As for the other three people, if they are not dead now, they will not live for long. After all, they are kidnapping the imperial concubine.

The remaining one will not survive after it is used up.

A hidden guard stayed behind to dispose of the corpse, and Su Qingning followed the rest to meet the emperor.

After entering the teahouse, Emperor Chen chose a window seat on the second floor. The secret guards sent out earlier were responsible for investigating Xu Linlang's identity.

After interrogation, the secret guards beside Su Qingning knew that these people were ordered by someone, and that person was a woman named Xu Linlang.

Because of this, Emperor Chen asked Xu Linlang's name after listening to the secret guard's report.

Since she sent someone to hold the imperial concubine hostage, then it will be the imperial concubine who will be responsible for disposing of her next.

He asked for tea and snacks, but Emperor Chen didn't eat them. He just looked downstairs. He knew that Su Qingning was coming back soon.

"My lord, what are you looking at? Why don't you eat? Or... I'll feed you?" As he spoke, Xu Linlang picked up a piece of snack and brought it to the emperor's mouth.

Sensing the scent coming, Emperor Chen stepped back, leaned back on the chair, and glanced at Xu Linlang.

Although it was just an ordinary glance, it made Xu Linlang feel guilty. She put down the snack and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

Afterwards, Xu Linlang found something to say, that the Emperor had never paid attention to her, which made her feel angry.

Although she knew that the person in front of her was of high status, but she felt that since she agreed to come to the teahouse with her, she had to take care of herself, no matter what, she was not bad in appearance, so it should be more than enough for him to be his concubine.

"Your name is Xu Linlang." Suddenly, Emperor Chen's voice sounded again, and Xu Linlang looked at him in surprise.

"Your name is Xu Linlang?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Emperor Chen asked again.

"Yes, my name is Xu Linlang, I..."

"Which Xu family do you belong to?" Xu Zhong is not the only Xu family who is an official in the capital, and the emperor needs to find out which family she is from.

"My father is the Minister of Rites." Xu Linlang responded in a low voice, guessing what the emperor meant.

"You know who I am." This sentence is affirmative, and the emperor has already remembered where the woman in front of him has been seen before.

"Yes, Minnv...Minnv once met you in Shen's residence." Xu Linlang's face flushed when the emperor thought of herself. She felt that this was a good thing.

Before, she called me one by one, but now, she has suddenly become a girl of the people.

"You sent someone to kidnap Concubine Su Gui?" Staring at Xu Linlang, the emperor spoke again. Immediately, Xu Linlang's expression became very ugly.

"What do you mean by the emperor's words? The girls don't understand." Xu Linlang's voice trembled a little. She didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly ask such a question.

"Don't worry, you will understand." Emperor Chen withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of the stairs. Su Qingning went upstairs with the hidden guards.

Seeing Su Qingning, Emperor Chen carefully sized her up and made sure that she was fine, so he was relieved.

Seemingly noticing the Emperor's gaze, Xu Linlang turned his head to look, and suddenly, his face turned pale...
