Chapter 669: There is no more Demon King in the world
"you are?"
Xiao Qiyue stared at the person in front of her and felt that he looked familiar.
The man in front of him was dressed in white, looking elegant and refined, like a gentle and graceful gentleman.
"I am Ye Yuren, a specially hired musician of Shangyinfang."
Xiao Qiyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "If you are a musician from Shangyinfang, why are you in the inner palace?"
The man responded calmly: "Your Highness, it was the Queen Mother who wanted to hear the music, so she ordered me to enter the palace."
"Oh?"
Xiao Qiyue didn't know whether she believed it or not, she just felt that the person in front of her seemed familiar, not only in appearance, but also in the aura.
She was very sensitive to human scent, and this person's scent was very similar to someone she had met before.
But how could that person appear in the Liao Kingdom?
Or in the palace?
"Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Xiao Qiyue's scrutinizing gaze fell on the man, and she said nonchalantly, "Young Master Ye looks a lot like someone I've met before."
"Oh?"
Ye Yuren raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled calmly: "I wonder who can catch your attention? It's really a blessing."
"It was just a one-time encounter."
Xiao Qiyue stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the flower-filled garden not far away in the corridor. His expression was indifferent, and his eyes briefly glanced at the calm-faced man behind him.
"Is that so? ...Monster King?"
The man stiffened slightly, then quickly reacted.
"…What are you talking about, Your Highness? I don't know you, the Emperor…"
Xiao Qiyue caught a glimpse of the man's strange expression at that moment, and her red lips curled slightly: "Twenty years ago, the seventh princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty colluded with the enemy and committed treason. The Ye family was convicted of treason, and all nine clans were implicated. No matter whether they were men or women, young or old, pregnant men or infants, they were all executed. Anyone who pleaded for the Ye family was charged as an accomplice..."
"And Lady Ye was also banished to the cold palace and given poisoned wine for plotting to murder the heir to the throne. It is said that she bled a lot at the time. The imperial physician diagnosed that she was one month pregnant. It was said that a descendant of the Ye family survived at the time. He..." "Your Highness!"
Ye Yuren interrupted what Xiao Qiyue was saying, and his gloomy expression showed that he was not calm at the moment.
Xiao Qiyue turned slightly to the side and glared at the other person: "Should I call you the Demon King Fu Xuege or the Master of Juesefang Juege?"
"Your Highness, since you already know my identity, why do you still ask me when you already know the answer?"
Ye Yuren's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel wary of Xiao Qiyue.
"Your Highness is very low-key in the palace. Everyone thought that Your Highness was just extremely intelligent. But I didn't expect that you could even find out my identity clearly. It seems that Your Highness has no shortage of capable people around him."
"But I'm afraid no one has expected that Your Highness is not only the Crown Princess of Liao, but also the King of Beichen, who is second only to the king of Dong Zhou, right?"
If this matter were to get out, it would not only cause a shock to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but would also probably cause criticism within the court.
A princess of one country ran to an enemy country to become a prince, and even married a member of the enemy's royal family and worked for the enemy country. What was she trying to do?
Treason?
Not to mention the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, where a princess from another country hid her identity and became a powerful prince. How was this different from inviting a wolf into the house?
How can we tolerate such wolfish ambitions?
"Are you threatening me?"
Xiao Qiyue's eyes were cold, but one could still see a creepy chill in them.
"Your Highness, you are joking. I am just an ordinary citizen. I have no grudges against Your Highness. Why would I cause trouble for myself?"
"You are quite sensible."
Xiao Qiyue sneered: "It's just that I'm very curious, the relationship between you and the Queen Mother is probably not just that of a Queen Mother and a musician, right?"
Ye Yuren paused for a moment, looking calm.
"Nothing can be hidden from Your Highness. I have indeed cooperated with the Queen Mother."
Xiao Qiyue frowned: "For revenge?"
"Yes."
Ye Yuren's eyes dimmed.
