Infernal Affairs
Xiao Congrong got up early and was urged by Chunxiang to take a bath. The clothes were specially selected by Chunxiang, who spent a lot of silver on them. Chunxiang said that when entering the palace, she couldn't be too shabby and must not lose face for the Xiao family.
Xiao Congrong naturally agreed, and the Empress's invitation to her was not because of her beauty or talent, but rather because of the Xiao family's reputation. Although she was not a member of the Xiao family, she should still maintain the Xiao family's image.
She obediently let Chunxiang dress her up, and she had a hairstyle that was not very complicated but very generous. Her clothes were moon-white in color, very luxurious, and the silk embroidery on the cuffs and collar was also exquisite.
Smiling at herself in the mirror, she was very satisfied with her image. Chun Xiang was more and more aware of what made her happy.
After finishing breakfast, the eunuchs from the palace came to take her in. Chu Qingchuan hadn't sent anyone to respond yet, so she nervously told Chunxiang to respond to the eunuch, saying that she wasn't dressed yet.
Chun Xiang went out to respond, she just turned around and saw a white shadow floating by, disappearing under the eaves. A hasty glance only caught sight of that white shadow's disheveled long hair, as well as her dark eye sockets, a face pale like a ghost, lips stained with fresh blood...
Ghost? She glanced at the sunlight outside and smiled coldly: "In this age, anything strange can happen, ghosts are no longer afraid of sunlight!"
"Hehe...... Haha...... Wuuu......"
As soon as she finished speaking, strange cries, whip cracks, and mournful wails echoed from every corner of the room. The windows were all closed, and the room was plunged into darkness, accompanied by terrifying ghostly howls. For a moment, this house seemed to have turned into an abyss of hell, with icy winds piercing through...
Xiao Congrong was also a person of exceptional psychological quality, but these shouts had thrown her into great confusion. She couldn't see what made her frown and grit her teeth in anger: "Chu Qingkuang, pretending to be mysterious is nothing special, even a street performer is better than you! If you have something to say, spit it out!"
The strange cry suddenly stopped, and no human voice was heard. Xiao Zong Rong tilted his head to listen carefully, and it was quiet all around. Turning back, there was a small patch of light in front of him, and in the light, a pair of black eyes stared at her, strangely, the eyebrows of these eyes were under the eyes...
She stared at these eyes, and these eyes also stared at her. The next second, she curled up her fingers and poked them over.
"Ahh... How dare you be so shameless!" Those eyes suddenly popped open, and a figure flipped over in mid-air, landing not far away.
As the light moved with him, she saw a slightly thin young man pouting discontentedly, with mischievous eyes shining with curiosity on his handsome face, tilting his head to continue staring at Xiao Zong.
"Who are you? What are you trying to pull off with this act?" Xiao asked bluntly.
"Are you a woman or what? If you're a woman, you should be screaming!" The young man winked at her and shrugged lazily: "Wasted my performance!"
"Frightening performance?" Xiao Zong said sarcastically, "The young master let you deliver the message, I guess he didn't give you a reward for your performance? Do you want me to give you an extra tip?"
"Huh? How did you know our young master didn't give us any reward?" Hua Junzi asked with a thick face.
"Because... the Chu Qingkuang I know isn't as boring as you!" Xiao Zongrong gave him a pair of white eyes, and the people outside the palace were already waiting for her. He was still wasting her time, wasn't he asking to be scolded?!
