Yue Luoxue walked into Nalan Rongxuan's room and discovered that the room was actually empty. She unhappily raised her eyebrows.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, a warm body suddenly came up from behind and wrapped around her in his embrace. A familiar aura blew over and Yue Luoxue said helplessly: ”Nalan Rongxuan, what are you doing now?”

”Luoxue, I have let you suffer.” Nalan Rongxuan laid his head on Yue Luoxue's shoulder, and his warm breath sprinkled on her ears. His voice carried a bit of apology, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately faking it.

Yue Luoxue only thought that he was still feeling guilty for treating the old emperor for him, and immediately said: ”I'm not doing it for free, can you let me go first?”

”If you don't want to go back, then don't. I'll be with royal father.” Nalan Rongxuan did not let go. He knew that the emperor was interested in Yue Luoxue, and he was about to go crazy with anger.

Yue Luoxue was a little embarrassed from being hugged by him, so she pushed his arm away and said: ”Alright, I still have to go back.

Nalan Rongxuan sighed in his heart. Looking at Yue Luoxue's serious face, he felt both love and hate, he loved her so much that she looked so confident in herself, so much that he wanted to see her fly higher, but sometimes, he also hated her so much that he felt that she was so independent and confident.

”Hey, are you listening to me?” Yue Luoxue shared her discovery she had made in the palace these past two days. However, when she lifted her head, she found that Nalan Rongxuan was in a trance.

Nalan Rongxuan sighed once again. If he had turned into the soft and weak Dodder Silk Grass, Yue Luoxue would not be the little fox that she was infatuated with.

”Of course I heard it. I'm guessing that the person who wanted to attack you tonight might be the concubine I've been looking for all those years ago, the palace maid Melilotus.” Nalan Rongxuan pulled Yue Luoxue's hand and walked to the front of the table and took out a roll of paper.

Yue Luoxue looked over, it was the location of all the palace maids and eunuchs back in the Wan Imperial Concubine Palace. Among them, the big palace maid, Lingxi, had been assigned to the Li Feiyu Palace after Concubine Wan died. However, she had mysteriously disappeared after Nalan Rongxuan was sent to the Sunscorch Kingdom as a proton.

”I sent someone to investigate a lot of clues, and in the end, I found out that Muliu was very close to a pile of cloth in the city, and three months ago, someone saw a girl who looked very similar to Muliu walking in and out of the pile.” Nalan Rongxuan slowly said from the side.

Three months ago, Yue Luoxue's pupils slightly moved. Then, wouldn't that be when Nalan Rongxuan returned to the Profound Star Country? Furthermore, it was said that someone had tried to awaken the Red Lotus Flame Gu during the welcoming ceremony, and the timing was far too perfect.

”What's more coincidental is that this …” Nalan Rongxuan pointed to the name ”Hong Mei” on the list, ”She has a daughter named Qiu Tang.”

”It couldn't be the Emperor's Qiuxiang, right?” Yue Luoxue was shocked.

Nalan Rongxuan nodded his head, ”That's right, it's Qiu Tang. This Hong Mei passed away eight years ago.

”So what you're saying is that there might be a connection between Autumn Tang and Melilotus?” Yue Luoxue rolled her eyes. If this was the case, then many things could be explained.

Nalan Rongxuan's eyes flashed slightly, ”Whether or not there is a relationship, we only need to verify that this month's seventeenth year is the day Qiuchang leaves the palace.”
