Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: He or She

Yan Ziyu's face turned deathly pale. That woman not only didn't take the folding fan, but didn't even look at it. She turned around and left!

"Your Majesty, shall I capture her for you?" The man in white said lightly, with still no expression on his pale face.

"Hmph! No need!" Yan Ziyu clenched his fists tightly, took a sharp breath. He was just about to lose his temper when he turned his head and saw Yan Zixuan walking over with a triumphant smile.

"Unexpectedly, Your Majesty, with so many affairs in the palace, you can still find time to come down here."

"Isn't my imperial brother the same? The wedding has just passed, the marriage bed hasn't even warmed up, yet you're here too. I wonder how my sister-in-law is doing now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. She's doing very well now." Presumably, that bitch is crying while washing clothes right now.

"Is that so?" Yan Ziyu nodded, cast his gaze on the empty stage, and said meaningfully, "In that case, you can bring the Xuan Princess to the palace another day to meet Concubine Rao. It's been a long time since the two sisters met, hasn't it?"

In the bright light, Yan Zixuan's body swayed obviously. A trace of pain appeared on his handsome face, but it was fleeting. "Your Majesty is attentive. It's getting late. You'd better return to the palace early. It's not very safe outside the palace." With that, Yan Zixuan flicked his sleeve and turned to leave Hualou.

In today's Yan Kingdom, although Yan Ziyu has ascended the throne as emperor, half of the military power is in Yan Zixuan's hands. Moreover, since last year, a sect called Yanmen suddenly appeared in the Jianghu, with influence all over the country and the intention to oppose the imperial court.

And this Hualou... Yan Zixuan suddenly lifted the sedan curtain, looked at the brightly lit Hualou where singing and dancing were still lively, and ordered Zhan Qing, "Find out everything about that woman for me."

Hualou is not just a Hualou, is it?

Stepping off the stage, Shuangshuang walked quickly through the corridor barefoot, planning to head straight to the backyard. By this time, Yushan was probably already awake.

After taking a few steps, Shuangshuang couldn't help but slow down her pace.

At the end of the corridor, a woman in red, holding a pipa, sat on the railing with her back to Shuangshuang. Her two legs hung in the air and kept swinging. The red embroidered shoes hanging on her toes might fall to the ground at any time, revealing her white feet, which made people evoke a thousand thoughts and reveries. The cool night wind lifted her black hair and embroidered robe. In this quiet corridor and under the faint moonlight, her figure formed a beautiful picture with the surrounding environment. However, her eye-catching red, like dazzling cinnabar, added a bit of weirdness and charm to this peaceful picture.

Zheng... The string in the woman's hand suddenly moved, making a crisp and harsh sound. Shuangshuang was shocked and then remembered that this woman was exactly the one who played on the stage just now!

Just as Shuangshuang was confused, the woman suddenly turned her head. At that moment, Shuangshuang was so scared that she took a step back, as if she had seen a ghost.

Phoenix eyes like peach blossoms, autumn water-like blue eyes, a jade-like nose and red lips...

"It's you!" This "beauty" was exactly that goblin who bit her, gave her scar medicine in the afternoon, and told her that Hualou was a good place!

Is it "he" or "she" after all? Shuangshuang was confused again.

Under the black hair was a delicate face, silky phoenix eyes, a high 挺 nose, rose-like red lips, and the pink peach blossom mark between the eyebrows made "his" snow-white face more beautiful and charming.

This was even more beautiful than the first time she saw "him".

"Sister, do you recognize me?" A woman's soft and boneless voice.

" He" is a woman? Shuangshuang was almost stunned, her mind in a mess. The night before last, yesterday afternoon, it was a man's voice, but why did it become a woman's voice now?

Moreover, she said, "Sister, you recognize me!" This meant that this woman recognized that she was not Yushan.

Seeing Shuangshuang's dull face, that "woman" held the pipa, wore embroidered shoes, and walked slowly towards Shuangshuang with graceful steps.

"Sister, you stole the show tonight! Our Hualou has never been so lively before!" she laughed, her tone strange, half mocking and half jeering.

"Are you a woman or a man?" Unable to restrain her curiosity, Shuangshuang finally asked.

In the red light, Shuangshuang saw the corner of that "woman's eyebrow twitch slightly. After a moment of silence, the smile on the woman's lips suddenly became strange, and then she said hoarsely, "Sister, you're the first person to ask me that!"

"You are indeed a man!" Damn goblin, actually pretending to be a woman to fool around here, even the voice is so similar.

"Hehehe, sister has a pair of beautiful and unique eyes! You're the first person to know I'm a man!" He covered his mouth and let out a giggle. His movements were not the least bit affected or artificial, but instead gave people a sense of natural charm.

What a damn goblin, even a man is born like this. Shuangshuang was annoyed!

"Sister, what's your name? Why haven't I seen you in Hualou before? But sister's dance is really good."

Since he knows she's not Yushan, if she continues to hide, she will show more flaws! Now, she needs to get rid of this goblin and find Yushan.

"I'm just substituting for Sister Yushan..."

"Just tell me your name!" He interrupted her, speaking in a slightly commanding tone. However, the charming smile remained on his face.

Annoying! An evil and demonic man, how dare he order her!

"No comment!" Her face turned cold; she had no patience to chat with him anymore, took a step, and walked past him!

She had to find Yushan and then rush back to the mansion; otherwise, she would be discovered by that bastard Yan Zixuan definitely.

After taking just one step, Shuangshuang's hand was suddenly grabbed. Turning around, it was that goblin.

"What do you want?" Shuangshuang tried to shake off his hand, but he was surprisingly strong. She couldn't break free at all unless she fought with him!
