Queen, don't be too arrogant

Chapter 139 He Is Protecting Her (8)
Xie Jingran hurriedly changed the subject. Of course, he couldn't let him know about the existence of the blue-eyed palace lord. If everyone knew that she was the saint of the Nether Palace, how would she proceed with her subsequent missions, and how would she get her antidote?
Hearing what she said, Shangguan Mingyu didn't ask any more questions, but just said: "Then let Weichen send your empress back to Ganquan Palace!"

Xie Jingran nodded and smiled, "Okay!"

After saying this, I suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I told you a long time ago, don't be so polite to me! There is no one here now, you can call me Miss Xie, you promised Oh my word!"

"……it is good."

Shangguan Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.She turned her head and glanced at him, really feeling that he was a little strange.

Recalling how skilful his actions were and how bold his words were when he was mean to her back then, but now, he has completely changed his appearance!What was going on that caused him to have such a big change?
When she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard the voice of Shangguan Mingyu, with some hesitation and sadness in it: "Huang... Miss Xie, congratulations!"

Xie Jingran was puzzled by his words, she frowned and asked, "Is there anything I should congratulate?"

Hearing what Xie Jingran said, he glanced at her, then quickly turned his head away, with drooping eyelids, and softly said a word: "Everyone in the world knows about the matter between you and the emperor...Congratulations You, become a legitimate queen..."

He said these words lightly, but Xie Jingran seemed to be able to hear an inexplicable melancholy from them.

What's going on here, is there really such emotion in his words, or is it because of everything that she has auditory hallucinations?

But what he said made her even more puzzled. She asked suspiciously: "The whole world knows what happened, and what happened between Murong Xuanyan and me..."

Also, what do you mean, she has become a legitimate queen?
Is it...

Xie Jingran was startled, and looked at Shangguan Mingyu, and saw that under his drooping eyelids, there seemed to be an incomparably deep pain in his eyes, and she couldn't help being stunned.

He seemed to have noticed her gaze, the light in his eyes disappeared, and he turned his head to look at her, with a slight smile on his lips: "It seems that all the misunderstandings between you and the emperor have really been resolved. Come on, then I'm completely relieved..."

Why is it that even though he is smiling, that smile is so fragile that it seems to be going away with the wind immediately?Why is he smiling, but there is still such boundless sadness in his eyes?
She only felt a sudden wave of uneasiness in her heart, but she didn't know why, so she quickly explained to him: "Actually, things are not as you imagined, Murong Xuanyan and I are actually not husband and wife..."

After saying this, Xie Jingran couldn't help being a little stunned, she didn't know why she would give him such an explanation.He listened to her words, his expression turned cold, and he turned to look at her: "You...what did you say..."

His voice was not the same as before, but it was full of unusual tremors as if he had heard some news that he couldn't believe but made him extremely excited and excited.

Xie Jingran's heart tightened, but she pretended not to notice, nodded and said, "Yeah, why did I lie to you? In fact, Murong Xuanyan still has a lot of prejudice against me, so don't bother me and him. Worry, I don't like him, and he doesn't like me, no matter how hard you try, it's useless."

"No, it's impossible..."

However, Shangguan Mingyu didn't seem to understand her words, but just talked to himself over there, saying things she couldn't understand: "How could he not like you, how could he... Could it be that I was wrong, it's impossible , I can't be wrong..."

Xie Jingran simply didn't care about these things anymore, smiled and said: "So in this way, there is nothing to congratulate, right? Besides, if I really have a husband and wife relationship with him, it will be a big deal. There is no need to congratulate something that is like a nightmare!"

After hearing her words, he turned his head to look at her again, with slight hesitation in his eyes: "Miss Xie, you...do you really not like the emperor?"

"Please, this question seems to have been answered by me, right?"

Xie Jingran helplessly rolled her eyes at him, he also smiled and said: "Yes, you have already answered me, but why..."

But why, he didn't continue to talk, but his expression was really very strange, as if he was happy about something, but he seemed to be worried about something.

The combination of such different expressions made Xie Jingran feel a little puzzled and uneasy, but she didn't know what she was wondering about or what she was worrying about.

In this way, Xie Jingran and Shangguan Mingyu returned to Ganquan Palace.But before reaching the Ganquan Palace, he could only see the bustling crowd from a distance, and he didn't know what happened.

Xie Jingran and Shangguan Mingyu glanced at each other, knowing that something was wrong, so they hurried over there without neglecting it.

The people over there obviously noticed the arrival of the two of them, and the court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly made way for the two of them.Xie Jingran and Shangguan Mingyu walked in, but they saw that not only were there many court ladies and eunuchs, but even the concubines from all the palaces had come.

Moreover, Murong Xuanyan, the big boss of Qin State, was also standing expressionlessly in the main hall of Ganquan Palace at this time, watching her and Shangguan Mingyu walk in.

When he saw her and Shangguan Mingyu appear, a stream of light flashed across his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but looked at the two with his lips tightly pressed together, wondering what he was thinking.

Shangguan Mingyu quickly knelt down: "I have seen the emperor and the empresses of the palaces!"

Seeing that the atmosphere here was a little strange, Xie Jingran wanted to pretend to be a queen and salute Murong Xuanyan, but then she remembered what he did to her that day, so she just stood there without moving.

Those concubines and court ladies and eunuchs were all surprised when they saw her like this, but they were all ignored by her.Even Murong Xuanyan didn't say anything about her, so who dare to say about her?
Murong Xuanyan looked at Shangguan Mingyu and nodded slightly, and said, "Get up first, you don't have to be so polite to me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Shangguan Mingyu said this, he stood up, glanced at Xie Jingran again, and then walked to the side.Xie Jingran stood dumbfounded in the center of the hall and became the focus of everyone's salute, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

So Xie Jingran didn't have any nonsense, and wanted to follow Shangguan Mingyu to the side of the hall, but only heard a familiar voice: "Your Majesty, since the empress has returned, can things start?"
