Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!

In the Hehuan Palace, smoke floated lightly from the white jade tripod, giving off a faint scent of lilies. Concubine Chu Jingyue leaned on the bed, her lips were so pale that even rouge could not cover them, her brows were shrouded in a faint melancholy, and her expression was cold and mixed with a hint of despair, like pear blossoms after a rainstorm, which made people feel distressed.

"My Lady, the evil spirit is not in the Hehuan Palace right now. It must have escaped to another palace."

"The talisman has been buried in the Hehuan Palace. The evil spirit will not come again. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The young man in black clothes, with a tall and slender figure, his clothes like flowing clouds, his brows lowered, spoke in a cold and indifferent expression.

Concubine Chu Jingyue was not angry because of his attitude. She and he had known each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts. She naturally knew his temper.

Pei Xuan is such a person, cold to everyone.

She was fed up with the vulgar people around her and didn't want to deal with them, and over time she developed this noble character; and Pei Xuan was really cold, his heart seemed to be made of ice, his life was boring and monotonous, and it seemed that he wanted to devote his whole life to Zixiao Palace.

"Pei Xuan, am I really a female Silk Star?!"

Concubine Chu Jingyue looked coldly at the Imperial Preceptor Pei Xuan with her clear and watery eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

The female silk star was hated by everyone in the Great Yan Dynasty.

But Concubine Ruo doesn't care!

She only cares about whether she is the emperor's beloved.

Before, she was sure that she was.

But now, the appearance of Concubine Xian made her a little frightened.

Is she really a female silk star? !

If she is really a female silk star, then Concubine Hua Wu is just a shield put forward by the emperor to protect her, so why would the emperor go to such lengths? !

The emperor's favor for Concubine Hua Wu has far exceeded what she did in the past.

In just a few months, she was promoted from a fifth-rank concubine to a second-rank concubine, and was the leader of all concubines, and was given the title "Xian".

Since the virtuous concubine Hua Wu had no money, the emperor paid her from his own private treasury; since she had no family background, the emperor adopted her and also gave her stepfather a title of nobility.

Now, she has everything, including honor, family background, and money... Even when the palace was haunted this time, the emperor did not come to see her. Instead, he stayed in the Yikun Palace every night, saying that he was worried that Concubine Xian was too weak to withstand the fright.

What about her? !

She was the one who was truly frightened by the ghost of Huibin!

The Emperor did not come to see her...

Is she... is she really a female silk star? !

At this moment, Concubine Chu Jingyue's heart was a little shaken. She couldn't wait to get a positive answer from the Imperial Master Pei Xuan, so that she could be sure that the Emperor was not really in love with Concubine Hua Wu, but was just using her to compete with her.

The emperor wanted her to submit to him, and he didn't like her being so cold and arrogant in the cold war with him.

"My Lady, you are undoubtedly the female Silk Star."

"I will not make a mistake in my calculations!"

Imperial Preceptor Pei Xuan had a cold look on his face and said with great certainty.

The gloom between Concubine Chu Jingyue's brows suddenly dissipated a little, and a slight joy appeared in her eyes. She whispered softly: "Sure enough, the emperor is just angry with me again. The emperor still loves me the most..."

Pei Xuan raised his eyes, his gaze as cold as ice, and said calmly: "That may not be the case!"

Concubine Chu Jingyue was shocked and her expression changed. "Why did Master Pei say that?! The women of Silk Star have always been the beloved ones of the Great Yan Emperor, without exception!"

Concubine Chu Jingyue's voice was sharp, even a little harsh.

"You're right!"

"Emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty have been trapped in the curse of the female silk star for generations, such as the late emperor and Yelu Nanxian, Emperor Cheng and Su Fuyun, Emperor Zhao and his young daughter, Emperor Ling and Gao Jinxiu..."

Every time Pei Xuan mentioned the name of a female silk star, Concubine Chu Jingyue's eyes would light up.

"But... the current emperor... may be an exception!"

"I have long said that if there is any emperor in the Great Yan Dynasty who can break the curse of the female silk star, it must be the current emperor!"

In other words, Concubine Chu Jingyue is indeed a female silk star, but Emperor Jinghong Xiao Lin may not fall in love with her.

Pei Xuan's eyes were as cold as stars, his expression was calm, with a hint of pity in his heart.

He hoped that Concubine Chu Jingyue could understand the implication of his words and not fall into the emperor's illusory love again.

"No! Impossible!"

"No one can escape the curse of the Yan Dynasty royal family!"

"If the emperor doesn't love me, it must be because I'm not a female silk star!"

"Hua Wu?!"

"Hua Wu!"

"Pei Xuan, please help me! Please help me take a look at Hua Wu and see if she is the real female Silk Star?!"

Concubine Chu Jingyue frantically begged Pei Xuan, she was so miserable and sad that it really made people feel distressed.

The Yan Dynasty has produced love-sick people from generation to generation!

She couldn't accept that the emperor liked Hua Wu but not her.

All this would only make sense if Hua Wu was a female Silk Star.

"My Lady, why are you so persistent?!"

Pei Xuan's long eyebrows were slightly frowned, which was rare. His cold eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. Finally, he sighed and agreed.

That's it!

Just think of it as a token of the affection we had as childhood sweethearts.

The love of an emperor is like the farthest stars in the sky, dazzling yet out of reach. It is surging when in love and sudden when gone. Only by keeping one's original heart can one live freely.

I hope Concubine Yi can figure it out sooner!

"Then I will take my leave first!"

"My lady, please get well and take care of yourself."

Pei Xuan's voice was distant and polite. After he finished speaking, he turned and left Hehuan Palace.

……

Afterwards, Pei Xuan went to several other palaces that were said to be haunted, but there was still no trace of the evil spirit.

"Go to Yikun Palace!"

Pei Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly in the direction of Yikun Palace, and gave instructions lightly.

I heard that Concubine Xi was discovered by Concubine Xian of Yiku Palace that day, and finally had to commit suicide by hitting her head against the pillar.

It can be said that in the harem now, the person Concubine Xi hates the most is Concubine Jie, and the person she hates the second is Concubine Xian.

Presumably, the evil spirit had heard that she had entered the palace and dared not stay in Hehuan Palace any longer. She wanted to kill Concubine Jie but failed, so she changed her target to Concubine Xian.

After all, Concubine Xian's health is not as good as Concubine Yi's. He Yunshen said that she cannot stand being frightened. If the evil spirit wants to take Hua Wu away, it will be much easier than taking Concubine Yi away.

Pei Xuan made up his mind and led his men towards the Yikun Palace. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Hehuan Palace, he ran into He Yunshen who was not far from the gate of Hehuan Palace.

He was with his apprentice Qingfeng at this time, and was carrying a medicine box on his back.

"Go check the pulse of Concubine Yu?!"

Pei Xuan stood in front of He Yunshen with a calm look in his eyes.

He Yunshen shook his head.

Pei Xuan saw this and asked again: "Passing by?!"

He Yunshen shook his head again and said softly, "How is the health of Concubine Yu?!"

Hearing that Chu Jingyue fell ill due to fright, he originally wanted to go and treat her, but Chu Jingyue refused to see him.

I guess she was angry with him because he saved Concubine Xian!

Oh ~

Pei Xuan nodded.

It turns out she was waiting for him!
