Chapter 406: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Female Matching Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by Co
A sinister glint flashed across Xiao Jingyuan's narrow eyes. He really couldn't tolerate those who tried to interfere between him and Miaomiao.
He read out the names on the list slowly and each name was like a death sentence, ruthlessly eliminating those women who tried to cling to the imperial power by being close to the palace and into his sight.
Several ministers who had been following suit, trembling with fear, knelt down upon hearing their daughter's name.
“I have recently begun to believe in fortune-telling.
However, the theory of fortune-telling should be obtained by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory through the correct way to explore the secrets of heaven. This is the secret concerning the destiny of the country. How can we allow you to use it wantonly and turn it into an excuse to show off your power and take advantage of the opportunity to harm the country and the people!
Where is Guo Zhen?"
Xiao Jingyuan's voice was cold and deep, and his cheerful expression was no longer there.
"The minister is here."
Guo Zhen stepped out of the line with steady steps, folded his hands in front of his chest, and bowed deeply.
Jing Yuan stared at Guo Zhen with a sharp gaze and spoke again in a steady and firm voice.
"Have you found my destined person?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court. Everyone was shocked that His Majesty had accepted this matter so calmly.
How embarrassing it must have been for those censors who had banged their heads against the pillars before!
"Your Majesty, I have some information, but I need to verify it with Qin Jianzheng."
Guo Zhen held his head high and chest out, looking calm and composed.
"Then I will wait for good news."
Xiao Jingyuan nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a barely perceptible hint of eagerness and anticipation.
Afterwards, Xiao Jingyuan swept a cold gaze over everyone present.
"If I find out, anyone who dares to do something they shouldn't do will be punished along with their entire clan!"
Xiao Jingyuan was not a kind monarch who could be manipulated by others. All the ministers present knelt on the ground in silence, not daring to make a sound.
Only Xiao Jingyuan's cold breathing echoed in the silence.
"Your Majesty, have you found the person who plotted against you?"
Just as everyone was kneeling on the ground, it was Zhao Qi, the Censor who had previously proposed that His Majesty establish a queen, who began to speak again.
"There is a clue to this matter. You, my dear ministers, will soon know who did it."
Xiao Jingyuan said in a deep voice, it was obvious that the emperor already had a way to deal with the person who did this.
The atmosphere at the morning court was so tense it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. Under Xiao Jingyuan's pressure, the ministers were all sweating profusely, feeling as if they were on edge. However, Xiao Jingyuan, the instigator of all this, seemed to be staying out of the matter, and with a stern expression, he went straight back to his bedroom.
In the bedroom, the servants had already hurriedly prepared a wide variety of clothes.
Xiao Jingyuan carefully looked back and forth among these clothes. At this moment, he was thinking about appearing in front of her with a unique image.
It must be eye-catching enough to catch Miaomiao's attention instantly, but not too deliberate to cause Miaomiao's disgust.
His slender fingers gently stroked each piece of gorgeous clothing. The texture seemed to be the vague emotional connection between him and Miaomiao. Every touch was filled with his deep and passionate love and almost crazy paranoia.
Finally, before the hour of Si, Xiao Jingyuan appeared outside Miaomiao's boudoir wearing a moon-white silver silk robe.
At this time, there was still some time before dinner time, and I guess Miaomiao had just woken up from her sleep.
The maids serving by the side were doing their respective duties, and a quiet atmosphere permeated the courtyard.
Xiao Jingyuan's figure suddenly appeared, like a sudden flash of lightning that broke through the calm sky.
The maids were stunned at first, then panicked. One of them even stepped on the wrong step in her panic, causing the metal basin in her hand to slip out of her hand, making a sharp sound.
This sudden movement was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original tranquility.
The huge noise naturally alarmed Miaomiao who was in the house.
She was dressed in a pink silk dress that wrapped her body softly, with her three thousand strands of black hair casually scattered on her shoulders like ink. A few strands of hair were playfully curled and stuck to her cheeks that were as white as mutton-fat jade, making her face look like a spring flower, bright and beautiful beyond compare.
Xiao Jingyuan had never expected that he would have the honor of witnessing such a captivating scene when he came here this morning.
His heart trembled suddenly. Although he turned his head quickly out of courtesy and self-control, the beautiful scene that came into his eyes in an instant was like a hot iron, deeply imprinted in the depths of his mind and could not be erased.
He felt an unbearable dryness in his throat, which made him swallow unconsciously, trying to suppress the indescribable throbbing that surged deep in his heart.
"I'm sorry, the guards told me that someone from Prince Zhao's Mansion was outside. I climbed over the wall to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Miaomiao, please don't mind..."
Xiao Jingyuan turned his back and spoke in a nervous voice, like a child who had done something wrong and was eager to be forgiven.
However, behind his lowered eyes, his mind was churning with passionate thoughts that were completely inconsistent with this appearance.
It was a kind of paranoia and greed that bordered on madness. He had to restrain his desire to run wild and try his best to keep himself in a behavior pattern that Miaomiao could accept...
Miaomiao subconsciously lowered her eyes and glanced at her current attire. Seeing that there was nothing inappropriate about it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She has been in high spirits recently because of good things happening to her. She will pay attention to these small details in the future.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have tea with my maid first? I'll be there soon after I've finished tidying up."
Miaomiao signaled the maid beside her to take His Majesty to the tea room, but at this time, Xiao Jingyuan turned around and said.
"No need. The scenery in this courtyard is just right. How about I bask in the sun here?"
Xiao Jingyuan waved everyone away. He had finally arrived early, so naturally he didn't want to be separated from Miaomiao.
In this courtyard, he can also hear the sounds from Miaomiao's room, which is the greatest enjoyment for him.
The scene just now kept flashing in his mind, and Xiao Jingyuan's emotions had not yet recovered.
He seemed to be looking at the camellia flowers in the courtyard, but in fact he was secretly complaining.
Thinking about how he would have to try hard to be a gentleman in front of Miaomiao for the next three years, he felt his scalp tingling...
