The Imperial Consort Lan cooked a few dishes, and each dish was Xu Heng's favorite. The two of them sat in the courtyard and ate while chatting.
”Are you going back to the palace today?” Xu Heng asked while eating.
”No, I will not reply. I will return tomorrow afternoon. When I came out, I had already told the Emperor.” Imperial Consort Lan felt that every time she came out to tell the Emperor, he wouldn't be suspicious of her. On the contrary, if he wasn't told, he would definitely send someone to follow her secretly.
Imperial Consort Lan had always been the emperor's most beloved concubine. In all these years, she had never done anything to let the emperor down, so the emperor still trusted her quite a bit.
With his experience from the last time he came out, Xu Heng felt that it was nothing much this time, so he couldn't say it back. Xu Heng was also very happy in his heart, this way he could stay together with Imperial Consort Lan again.
”That's good.” Xu Heng laughed.
”Xu Heng, do you like staying with me?” Imperial Consort Lan asked seriously.
”I like it. It was the same when I liked it in the past.” Xu Heng had never forgotten about Imperial Consort Lan in all these years. Besides him, he no longer liked anyone else.
”Then why don't we stay together a lot?” Imperial Consort Lan was serious.
”I also want to stay with you, but I'm afraid it's not too convenient right now?” Xu Heng was referring to the Imperial Consort Lan who was now the emperor's woman. She was no longer as free as she was in the past.
”Why would it be inconvenient? As long as you have time, I will come out and accompany you. The emperor has been rather busy recently and doesn't care about me at all, so I can come out often.” Imperial Consort Lan felt that this was a good opportunity.
”It's still okay to come out occasionally. If you come out often, I'm afraid the emperor will be suspicious by then.” Xu Heng was only thinking for the Imperial Consort Lan, he did not want his beloved girl to suffer.
”It's alright, the emperor has been very busy recently. He definitely won't be suspicious.” What Imperial Consort Lan did not know was that Su Jinxuan's smile had already locked onto her, and was currently in danger.
”It's better to be careful.” Xu Heng wasn't afraid of him, he was afraid of him for the Imperial Consort Lan.
But Imperial Consort Lan was wrong, she thought that Xu Heng was just a coward, afraid that the Emperor would find out and punish his.
”Xu Heng, when did you become so cowardly? ”I remember that you weren't like that before!” Imperial Consort Lan was unhappy.
”Do you really think that way in your heart? Do you think that way about me?” Xu Heng was a little sad. She never thought that the Imperial Consort Lan would actually come to this conclusion.
”Then what did you mean by that? What exactly are you afraid of? ” Imperial Consort Lan asked.
”I was afraid that the Emperor would suspect you if you came out often.” Xu Heng explained.
”So you're afraid of this. Relax, there's no need to worry about this. Right now, the emperor is very trusting of me and also very trusting of me. Normally, he wouldn't suspect me. Every time I leave the palace, he thinks I'm going to Big Brother's home.” The Imperial Consort Lan said with a smile.
”It's better to be careful. Perhaps the Emperor suspects that you just don't know.” Xu Heng was still quite cautious.
”Of course I know that. Just try to be more careful in the future.” Imperial Consort Lan only said that because she knew that Xu Heng was worried about her.
The guards had heard the conversation clearly, and immediately went back to report it to Su Jinxuan. At this time, not only did the Imperial Consort Lan not return to the palace today, but it was also the most suitable chance to take down the Imperial Consort Lan if she was with a man.
