Nalan Jie sighed: ”Sigh, that child Rongxuan has always been unwell since he was young. I wonder if he will be able to make it out this time.”

”Your majesty, don't worry. You've still got it. How could something happen to the King Xuan?” What did the old emperor mean by that, was he reminding her that Nalan Rongxuan didn't have long to live? Why did she sound so angry?

The old emperor was extremely angered by Yue Luoxue's words, but he could only endure it. Waving his hand to let Yue Luoxue leave, Yue Luoxue no longer wanted to stay any longer, she turned and left.

When they arrived at the door, she deliberately took note of it and noticed that Qiu Tang was not waiting outside. Yue Luoxue casually asked the other palace maid who was on duty, but was informed that Qiu Tang was not feeling well, and then went back to rest.

Yue Luoxue naturally did not believe in such an excuse. Regarding where Qiu Tang had gone to, Yue Luoxue already had a rough idea, and was afraid that she had gone to Imperial Concubine Wan's palace.

She had already checked before, and it seemed like the fire lotus grass was showing signs of regaining its life. It seemed that Qiu Tang had put in a lot of effort to take care of it.

He went straight back to his residence, pushed open the door and saw the empty room. Yue Luoxue's heart still skipped a beat because Young Master Rong was not here, although she had thought about it long ago, how could someone like Young Master Rong be waiting for her to return.

Yue Luoxue let out a light sigh and went to rest on the bed. Just as she was about to sit on the bedside, her body was pulled suddenly into a familiar embrace. Complicated emotions quickly spread through Yue Luoxue's heart, making her feel at a loss.

Young Master Rong felt that Yue Luoxue's actions were abnormal, and his tone revealed gentleness. ”What, are you unhappy to see me?”

”I just didn't expect you to still be here.” Yue Luoxue's tone carried a tinge of sorrow, and somewhat blaming himself for not being able to meet his expectations.

She had always been determined to draw a clear line between her and the Young Master Rong, but the moment he appeared, as long as he treated her tenderly, she would not be able to control herself. This feeling of being unable to control herself was truly too depressing.

When Young Master Rong saw Yue Luoxue's dejected little face, he could not help but be stumped for words. He opened his mouth to ask, ”Did the emperor bully you?”

”He doesn't have that ability.” As he talked about this topic, Yue Luoxue's tone was filled with grievance.

Don't have that kind of ability? That means... There was action, but no success? Young Master Rong clenched his fist tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulged. Nalan Jie was really good!

Seeing that Young Master Rong had not spoken for a long time, Yue Luoxue raised her head and saw his pair of beautiful eyes filled with anger and killing intent. Was she angry for herself?

Young Master Rong pulled Yue Luoxue's broken hair to the back of his head, looked straight into her pair of clear black and white eyes, and spoke solemnly: ”Luoxue, if you don't like your current life, I'll take you with me!”

”I'll take you with me!” looked at the dark eyes of the Young Master Rong and couldn't help but want to nod in agreement.

However, just as she was about to nod her head, Nalan Rongxuan's face suddenly flashed across her mind. She recalled their agreement and firmly shook her head: ”I can't leave!”

The Young Master Rong raised his eyebrows, his pitch black eyes flashed with a strange light, making him confused. ”You are not leaving because of Nalan Rongxuan?”

Yue Luoxue nodded her head heavily. To her, Nalan Rongxuan saved her life, and if not for Nalan Rongxuan, she wouldn't be where she is today. She had to live up to the promise she made all those years ago to help him get even, and at the same time take revenge!

All these years, what she had agreed upon with Nalan Rongxuan might not be as simple as mere agreement. She still did not understand what exactly had changed, but she knew very clearly — — Now was not the time for her to leave!
