Empress is in the harem again

Chapter 298 It's Nothing

Shen Xi lowered her eyes and sniffed the wine poured into the glass, then took a sip lightly at first.

The next moment, the eyes continued to stay on the slender woman playing the piano, but she kept glancing at the man sitting next to her from the corner of her eye.

She has a straight face.

"I want to see the girl, can't I lose face?"

Lian Cheng's surprised eyes swept across her contemptuous expression, "?"

"Otherwise, why did you drag me?"

With such a sentence, Lian Sheng understood what she meant.

"I didn't lie to you. Cao Mansion's crooked stepson is at the flower boat next door, and the guy surnamed Wei is also with him."

"Wrong reasoning? Those who don't know think you are talking about yourself."

Shen Xi turned sideways and closed his eyes.

Although Shen Xi didn't know the person he was talking about, she had a little impression of him in the book as the stepson of Cao's mansion.

Cao Shuyan, the stepson of the Cao family, was a cowardly and disadvantaged concubine. He was not valued by the Cao family.

He was saved by the original owner himself.

From then on, he remembered the original owner, secretly fell in love with her, and often came to the original owner secretly, even if she blamed her and kicked him out, he didn't mind.

The reason why Shen Xi has a little impression of him is probably because he is one of the villains in the plot.

When he was 15 years old, he planned a misfortune in which the mistress committed adultery with her legitimate son, and after that, a series of incidents happened. For a while, the Cao family seemed to have fallen from a high-spirited aristocrat to the bottom of the valley.

No one expected that these things were designed by people who seemed introverted and timid.

Today, the Cao Mansion is in his hands, so he is no longer the child who was ridiculed and bullied in the past.

Ahhh, another rotten peach blossom.

Shen Xi sipped the wine in small sips, looking a little absent-minded.

Lian Cheng called a few times but there was no response, even Shen Xi didn't seem to notice that the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

He frowned, and with a wink let the piano player go out.

He pressed his teeth, and suddenly cried out in surprise, "Your Majesty!"

Hearing these two words, Shen Xi thought of the man's gentle eyes mixed with mischief, maybe he was too guilty, so he stood up reflexively with a terrified expression, and looked forward.

No one is empty.

He glanced back and scanned around, but he didn't see that slender figure.

Only the people next to him were laughing.

The entire space was filled with his laughter.

Shen Xi's face froze, and when he realized it, the expression on his face instantly distorted.

The next moment, she smiled again, the corners of her mouth curved sweetly, "How dare you fool me?"

It should be a questioning tone, but the voice is extraordinarily soft.

Lian Cheng paused, feeling her hands on his shoulders, coupled with that strange tone that sounded a bit creepy to him, the hairs all over his body stood on end.

He coughed softly.

"Maybe it's because my eyes are blurred, I drink too much alcohol, and I'm prone to hallucinations."

He laughed twice to ease the tension in the atmosphere.

Shen Xi was not so easy to perfunctory, scooped up his sleeves, sneered, "Illusion? Then you have already imagined your ending in your mind."

"..."

"Grandma, remember not to slap your face—"

After a while, Lian Cheng came out covering his eyes.

Fortunately, he begged for mercy on the other eye in every possible way, and Shen Xi didn't let Shen Xi fall into his claws again.

He quietly stared at Shen Xi's back for a few seconds, and rubbed the injured eye uncomfortably, "Looking at how capable you are, it seems that there is nothing wrong with you falling into the water."
