Siyan stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall. The Palace Maid s saw that she was dressed in her usual attire and headed into the cold wind, so they hurriedly brought Feng Yixue along with them. They inquired about the Empress's destination all the way, and unconsciously followed her to the Palace Maid's residence.

Most of the people were waiting outside, the yard was quiet, the Queen of Xiaowan's house had come by once, she knew the way.

Siyan ordered the Palace Maid to stop and rush in. At that time, Ling Chaofeng had already left, and when the Xiaowan was packing up, he was stunned to see the Queen standing in front of the door.

”Empress …”

Siyan walked closer to Xiaowan and looked at her red and swollen eyes. The traces of her crying had yet to fade.

”Did you cry? Why are you crying? ” Siyan asked.

”I didn't cry, Empress. I had my eyes blown by the wind.” Xiaowan immediately denied it.

”You're crying.” Siyan said, ”If you cry, I will feel uncomfortable, and if you cry, I will too.”

Xiaowan was confused by her words. ”Empress, I don't understand what you're talking about.”

Siyan said: ”I don't know either, ever since Manager Ling passed away, I've often shed tears for no apparent reason. I was not sad or sad, as if I was sad with someone who was. Xiaowan, it's you, right? ”

Xiaowan took a step back. She became even more confused and strongly denied it. ”Empress, I wasn't crying just now.”

Siyan saw that the Xiaowan was packing her things. She knew that the Emperor had sent people to search the Xiaowan's house, so she asked: ”Did you find that someone had touched your house before?”

Xiaowan lowered her head and did not speak.

Siyan said, ”The Palace Maid saw something strange with you, the Emperor … In Xiaowan, the Emperor has no ill intentions. ”

”Empress, I'm not a demon …” When Xiaowan opened her mouth, she could not hold back her tears. She had been tied up on a fire before, and those crazy villagers wanted to burn her to death. Even now, she still remembered the pain of a fire burning her flesh to death.

That year, she had survived like a zombie. Everyone thought that under her strong exterior, her body and heart had long since been hollowed out.

She had no future, and could not live without her husband. However, she did not obstruct anyone. She only wanted to be together with her husband, was that not okay?

”I just want to be a Palace Maid. Really, Empress, don't chase me away, okay?” Xiaowan kneeled down and begged Siyan, ”I won't cause trouble, I won't hurt anyone, I just want to be the Palace Maid. Empress, can you let me stay in the palace?”

”Xiaowan, get up …” Siyan's heart was about to break. Not only did she care about Xiaowan, he also felt her pain and helplessness. ”I promise you, I definitely won't chase you away.”

The Xiaowan bowed her head and kowtowed in thanks, ”Thank you esteemed mistress, thank you esteemed mistress.”

Siyan was very helpless. Why did the two of them have to become like this? However, she no longer needed to doubt that it was definitely the Xiaowan.

After leaving the Xiaowan's residence, Siyan's expression was solemn, the people of the palace slowly followed behind. No one knew what the empress said to Mu Xiaowan, but even so, someone still brought the scene here to the Qingming Pavilion.

In the evening, Xiang Run came to the Culture Hall. The Little Princess was crying.

He held his daughter in his arms. When the child saw that it was his father, he was momentarily at peace. He weakly sobbed for a moment before falling asleep.

”Where's the Empress?” Xiang Run asked, ”Not in Culture Hall?”

”The Empress said that she wanted to be alone for a while, that she was in her sleeping quarters.” The Palace Maid s replied.

The emperor used a blanket to hold his daughter's head and carried her to the empress's sleeping quarters. Siyan was sitting under the window in a daze as he said, ”Your child is crying so loudly, why aren't you going to take a look?”

When Siyan regained her senses, the Emperor sent his daughter into her embrace, ”Quickly coax her.”

”He's already asleep.” Siyan laughed, ”Your majesty still has a way.”

”Are you thinking?” the Emperor asked.

”That's right. As I think about it, I feel that I'm being a bit unreasonable. However, my heart is clogged up, and I can't let it go.” Siyan kissed his daughter and looked at his child, smiling in the end.

The Emperor sat down by the side and the two kept quiet for a while before asking: For the Xiaowan?

Siyan was already used to the emperor knowing everything, so she didn't feel that there was any need to hide anything from him. She thought for a moment, then asked the emperor seriously, ”Can the emperor promise me one thing?”
