Chapter 47 Not hearing an old friend's laugh

Walking out of the palace one step after another, He Ji's carriage was still waiting outside Yue Jiefei leaned against the side of the carriage, a leaf dangling fro off

Chu Yu went up and woke hie, returned ho to He Ji

When returning, Chu Yu said her farewells to He Ji, and he returned the favor Although they were quite polite Each had their own dark thoughts, but they treated each other with the uts, Chu Yu took out her silver hair pin before leaning over In herZhi's dark, deep eyes appeared Herto take her hair pin into her sleeve It was a habit that she had tried weaning herself off froht anxiety, as if so her ht the incense furnace that had been taken away a while ago once more

With the doors and s closed and locked, the gentle, relaxing scent quickly filled the room Chu Yu felt relaxed, but she couldn't fall asleep peacefully Sitting at the desk near her bed, she prepared her own paper and brush The big white piece of paper sprawled before her, while she lowered her eyes and sunk into thought, the brush still suspended in her fingers

After everything that had happened with Rong Zhi, Chu Yu had developed a deeper instinct for danger She couldn't trust any of her concubines, her guards, her husband Even the emperor himself wasn't to be trusted The only one she could trust was herself

Eventually Chu Yu let her brush drop Calling You Lan over, she gave her a few brief co but a shocked look, Chu Yu smiled at her ”Remember: don't listen to more than is necessary, don't ask more than is necessary Do what I say I have a plan If possible, don't let anyone else know about this”

While she had uesses and conjectures based on what she had seen, there wasn't enough evidence backing up her thoughts What she saw yesterday could just be coincidence If she wanted to prove it, then she had to witness it with her eyes

This time, Chu Yu didn't meet Liu Ziye in the empty palace She was led by a eunuch to the emperor's study, the so-called ”royal study” There she saw that pale youth once again, sitting behind his long desk with a sunken expression, the look in his eyes shockingly cruel

He didn't evenit all out in the open The emperor was still a youth, yet his heart seeht of it chilled Chu Yu's heart, h the male concubines of her palace also often harbored dark intentions, none of them showed it out in the open like he did What those ain, and was limited by her power over them

But Liu Ziye? He was a ruler Within the boundaries of this kingdom, he had limitless power And with his inconsistent temper…

He see up, seeing that Chu Yu stood by the door, he didn't throw himself at her like yesterday All he said in a dark voice was, ”My sister, I want to kill so, but that concerned Chu Yu even more
