648: Too Embarrassed to Face Anyone in the World

Too Embarrassed to Face Anyone in the World

Entering the palace again?1

Xie Qiao frowned slightly.

She did not particularly like the atmosphere in the palace. It was a little gloomy.

However, the Emperor was still quite clear-headed, so there were actually many filthy entities in the palace.

"Is Young Lady Xie the only one?" Xie Qiao asked.

"No, the other direct descendants are also going," Zhao Xuanjing added.

After all, they were not married yet. If there was nothing important, they would not summon Xie Qiao into the palace alone.

Even the royal family had to show respect to their future daughter-in-law.

Therefore, this trip to the palace was nominally a flower viewing feast so that the noble daughters could show their faces.

In addition, there were three royal daughters in the royal family. They could not keep them locked up and not see anyone. It would be inappropriate for them to go out of the palace often, so they would seize the opportunity at the banquet to show themselves.

If everyone else went, Xie Qiao could still see a few familiar faces, then she would not feel bored. She nodded to indicate that she would pass on the message.

After a while, they met with Zhou Weizong's men.

"Reporting to Your Highness, we did find two people in the house. When we opened the door, there was a man who was about to do something lewd. Master Xie shouted... When that man turned around, he was... scared to death," the man reported in a long story.

An unnoticeable awkwardness flashed in Xie Qiao's eyes.

Eldest brother's face... Was he that capable?

Zhao Xuanjing did not seem surprised. "Did you catch anyone around?" 

"No, they should've run away. The people from the administrative office are searching everywhere now. I don't know if they can find anyone suspicious," the other party replied.

However, it would be a little difficult.

They came at the right time, but it was too late. The two girls had been locked up for a long time before the man came in to do something bad.

The person who did this must have known that the two girls' identities were special, so he did not dare to stay too long. After he left, he found someone else to do it. However, the person he found was so timid that he was scared to death.

Xie Qiao followed him to take a look.

She had seen one of the two girls who had been captured.

She did not know how they were doing now.

In the dilapidated house, the two girls were slightly disheveled, and their faces were a little blue and purple. They must have been beaten up. There seemed to be some flesh and blood in their beautiful hands. It was clear that they were struggling desperately just now.

There were no women who came along with them, so no one dared to enter the house and ask more questions. They could only wait for the two girls to come out on their own.

However, how could the two of them see anyone?

They cried in silence for a while and searched around, holding a broken tile in their hands…

When Xie Qiao rushed over, she saw that the two of them looked like they were going to die together.

She hurriedly said, "Your innocence has not been ruined, why do you have to do this?" 

Seeing someone come in, the two of them jumped in fright, but when they saw that it was a female Taoist master, tears immediately fell like rain.

"How can we still live? Everyone knows that the two of us were kidnapped. Even if we are innocent, no one else would think so!" The young lady from the Hou family of Nan'an bit her lip and said, "Moreover... I was initially going to marry the Fourth Prince as his side consort. Now that this has happened, if we are still alive, wouldn't that tarnish the Fourth Prince's name... Wah..." 

If they could live, who would want to die?

However, even if she lived, after she returned home, everyone would be pointing their fingers at her. The marriage could only be put aside. How could she stand it?

"I..." Dong Yiyun was also very confused. She had never been such a weak person, but just now…

That embarrassing side of her was being seen by Master Xie. His gaze was cold. Although he was staring at that evil person, she felt that she was too embarrassed to face anyone in the world…
