Lian Yi looked at Xiaowan strangely. Was she really alright?
During the night, when he returned to his room, he mentioned the Xiaowan's feelings to Ershan and asked worriedly, ”Could she be like what other people say?
Ershan was also worried, ”She's not good, we're worried. She's fine, we're worried too. However, she still insisted on entering the palace to become the Palace Maid. It was indeed very strange, as I have yet to find out anything from the palace. Otherwise, I would really like to ask her how she was doing in the palace. ”
Lian Yi thought for a bit, then said: ”Maybe Young Noble Bi can ask around, even if Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi is dismissed, there will still be connections in the family.”
Ershan thought about it and agreed.
As a result, when they met in the imperial court the next day, Bi Zhenye received Ershan's request and had people ask for more information from the palace. Naturally, they were not able to get any details, but the people in the palace all said that the Xiaowan was diligent and obedient.
This was a good thing, but Ershan and Lian Yi still felt uneasy. After all, running to become the Palace Maid with ease was too strange of a thing.
Ershan and Lian Yi were like this, how could the empress not be suspicious of them? In the eyes of Ling Chaofeng, the Emperor of Kang was already a suspicious person.
Xiaowan had returned today. After changing into palace attire, she should have gone to pay respects to the Queen, but she found that her room had been rummaged through by someone.
Although Ling Chaofeng had already sent all the shoes he had prepared, such as the kneecap cage, back to where they were previously, Xiaowan was able to tell that her own room had been touched by someone with a glance.
The things she sewed for Hubby were still there. Nothing was missing. She just couldn't understand what the people in her room were trying to do.
She ran to the door to take a look, and saw a few Palace Maid who were not on duty in the courtyard. She walked up generously and asked: ”This sister, may I ask if anyone has been to my house.”
The two Palace Maid s' eyes flashed, they said that they did not know, and quickly left.
Xiaowan was confused. She looked up to the sky and saw Hubby standing on the roof.
Ling Chaofeng flew down and stood in front of his wife. He had originally wanted to hide it from Xiaowan, but this guy was extremely meticulous, and was able to tell that his house had been rummaged through.
”Master, they … Is it over my things? ” The Xiaowan anxiously asked, ”Did they discover what I've made for you?”
Ling Chaofeng shook his head, looked around, only to see that no one was around, he brought Xiaowan back to his room.
Only now did Xiaowan know that someone had seen a hat flying out of her house. Thus, the Emperor also found out and sent someone to search her house when she was about to leave the palace.
”Could it be that the Emperor thinks I'm a monster too?” ”I know it's strange that I want to become a Palace Maid, but after so long, I have been working obediently and have not caused any trouble, and have not caused any trouble, why do they still not believe me?” From the very beginning, the General Wei was very worried that I would seek to seek revenge on the Emperor.
”Late at night, he is the emperor. Every day, he suspects a lot of people, and no matter what he sees, he must have a heart of doubt, not to mention you.” Ling Chaofeng spoke up for the emperor, ”The problem is not whether or not he suspects you. I told you not to be afraid, the higher ups have already specially gathered all the immortals for our matter, and are discussing how to deal with it. ”
”They really are …” Xiaowan's eyes burned with hatred, ”They really have nothing better to do.”
But in the end, she couldn't say any malicious words.
Ling Chaofeng held her and comforted her: ”Late at night, immortals have different paths, we are destined to never end up with any results. Immortals have no emotions, they can't even be compared to the emperor, and the emperor will still care about relationships, but they won't. ”They will only follow rigid rules. Right now, they aren't looking for trouble with us, they just haven't come to an agreement yet. They have already reached an agreement, we …”
Xiaowan said tearfully: ”Then, from now on, you don't need to see me anymore. It doesn't matter if I can't see you, but don't let me go. Even if I can only see the stone statue, I'll still be satisfied. Hubby, just listen to me. We don't want to meet again. Quickly go back, don't wait for them to break us apart. ”
”Late …”
”I won't be sad, really.” Xiaowan held back her tears, ”Every day when I see the stone statue, I feel at ease. I always listen to you, Chao Feng. Can't you also listen to me once? ”
Ling Chaofeng shook his head: ”Not good, I want to come see you every single day, accompanied by you every single day, no one can stop us. I'm telling you, I just want you to be prepared, not separate from you. The Emperor and the people above, no matter who it is, no one can separate us. Even if the sky falls, I will still be here. ”
Xiaowan could not hold it in anymore, she laid in Ling Chaofeng's embrace and choked with sobs, ”What did we do wrong, the heaven and earth cannot tolerate it.”
Her tears fell and landed on the lotus flower on Xiaowan's skirt.
Within the Culture Hall, the Empress's heart trembled. She lifted her face and a tear rolled down her cheek.
She stretched out her hand and touched it, looking at the tears between her fingers with a strange expression. Just why was she crying?
