C147 (1/2)

It was night, and when Ling Chaofeng came to see Xiaowan, she had already sewed the hat on his head for the better part of the day.

Ling Chaofeng was originally not afraid of the cold, but in order to make the Xiaowan happy, he put it on.

They snuggled up to each other and chatted for a while until Xiaowan fell asleep. Only then did he leave.

At that time, Ling Chaofeng had already forgotten that he was wearing a hat on his head, he flew back to the Announcement Hall, and after entering the stone statue, the hat was dropped outside, and he immediately used a technique to merge the hat with himself, not thinking too much.

However, what he did not know was that when he left Xiaowan's house, he was seen by a Palace Maid who was up all night in the courtyard.

Naturally, the Palace Maid couldn't see Ling Chaofeng, but she could see a hat flying out of his house all the way to the night sky.

The Palace Maid was extremely frightened, but she was also afraid that she was too dazed from sleep. After being on tenterhooks for a few days, the Senior Servant that brought them all up asked a few questions about the situation finally came to her senses.

This matter was not openly announced to the public. After all, the Xiaowan had a special identity, but the mama still reported it to the Emperor. On this day, the steward came to tell the Emperor that someone had seen a hat flying out of the Xiaowan's house.

Xiang Run looked at him suspiciously: ”How can a few people believe what they see?”

The Head Supervisor added, ”This servant doesn't believe it either, but this mama said that the young lady is honest and never lies. She also doesn't have any conflicts with the Xiaowan, so there's no need to frame him.”

”I understand.” Xiang Run questioned her on the surface, but he had actually already trusted her forty to fifty times in his heart. He instructed, ”Over at the Empress's place, we will tell her not to say too much.”

After the attendant left, Xiang Run pondered for a long time on his own.

He still remembered that at the beginning of the year, Xiaowan was said to be a monster and he didn't know if his Baisha County had returned to normal or if the burnt house had been restored to its former glory and peace.

At that time, what shocked the emperor the most was that many people saw that not a single trace of damage was done to the Ling Xiao Inn during the flood, and then, after a huge fire, there was not a single trace of anxiety in the inn.

All of these, the emperor knew, although it was not the reason why he wanted to kill Ling Chaofeng, but at the moment, the emperor thought that the one who created the bizarre scene was Ling Chaofeng, and now he felt that it might actually be the Xiaowan.

At that time, he thought that it was because the villagers did not dare to touch Ling Chaofeng that the weak Xiaowan was able to scold him.

Hearing that the Xiaowan was at the Culture Hall, and that the emperor was going to look for the empress to discuss these matters, they came together to take a look. When they arrived, the Xiaowan was lying prone on the carpet, teasing the Little Princess to crawl forward.

”No need for formalities.” Xiang Run said, ”Since you are here, the Empress and I have something to say. Carry the Princess to the Warm Pavilion for a while, don't make her pester the Empress.”

The Xiaowan carefully carried the princess as she hastily walked past the emperor.

In Xiang Run's eyes, after the incident with Ling Chaofeng, the first time he saw the Xiaowan was during the Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, the young lady, who was dressed in plain clothes, stood out among the beautiful ladies of the noble family. Even though she treated people politely and obediently, her entire body revealed a sorrowful sadness and forced smile.

But at this moment, the person walking in front of the princess with a red face looked extremely lively and energetic. The joy that came from her heart was like a soul that had followed Ling Chaofeng and returned to her body, and she had truly come back to life.

”What is the Emperor looking at?” Seeing that the emperor was lost in thought following the direction of the Xiaowan, Siyan walked up and caressed her hand, exclaiming, ”It's snowing, even the emperor doesn't know he's wearing a set of clothes.

”Siyan.” However, Xiang Run had a serious face, ”We have something to say to you.”

However, no matter how soft the emperor's words were, if Ling Chaofeng didn't want to listen, he wouldn't listen. If he wanted to listen, no matter how cautious the emperor was, he wouldn't be able to escape his ears.

Naturally, Ling Chaofeng knew about the conversations of the Palace Maid nuns even earlier than the emperor. As expected, he and the Xiaowan could not stay together for long, even if the heavens did not come to cause trouble, the people on the ground would still be afraid.

Perhaps the next time someone secretly peeked outside the door, they would see the Xiaowan talking to herself in the room. They might not even be able to see him, and would even think that she could fly into the air and lie on the bed.

Ling Chaofeng was very contradictory. If he were to tell the Xiaowan, she would definitely be nervous and scared, but she did not do anything to hurt anyone else.

Seeing someone who was getting more and more spirited after their reunion, Ling Chaofeng was truly unwilling to let her suffer any more.

Xiaowan's request and wish had become as low as it could get. She was even willing to guard a stone statue for her entire life, but unfortunately, the people of the heaven and the earth couldn't tolerate her.

She came early in the morning to bid farewell to the Queen. Siyan looked at her with a complicated expression and said, ”Return early, Princess and I will not leave you until now.”
