C198 (2/2)

Both Emperor Ruikang and Master Xuan Ling knew that this was an excuse Ye Jingche had given them, because what he had done was not something that a gentleman should do.

As for pushing this matter onto a woman, although Emperor Ruikang was unhappy, he knew that it was not good to say anything more.

When Master Xuan Ling saw the expression on Emperor Ruikang's face, he could guess what he was thinking. After he sighed in his heart, he looked at Emperor Ruikang and said, ”After the Imperial Family passes through this calamity, I will leave for the capital to travel.”

This was evidently the first time that the Emperor Ruikang had heard him talk about this plan of his. After being stunned for a moment, he directly asked: ”Where are you going? When will you be back? ”

”I can't decide where I will go, and I can't tell when I will return.”

After leaving behind the two 'unknown' words, Master Xuan Ling turned around and left.

If it wasn't for the life and death of the Imperial Family, he wouldn't have interfered in so many things.

Since he had chosen to leave home, the matters of the royal family should no longer have anything to do with him.

But he was unwilling, thinking about how Royal Father would hold his hand with a face of reluctance before he passed away, he was unwilling.

No matter who this Jiang Shan was, he was after all the descendant of his Royal Father. Since he could protect him, he would protect him.

If one day he could no longer protect himself, and went to see his Royal Father again, he could also say that he was not ungrateful.

Following the sound of a sigh, the back of the Master Xuan Ling walked further and further away.

Looking at the Master Xuan Ling's back figure, he raised his head, glanced at the Phoenix Palace's palace gate, and then turned to leave as well.

He was getting old, and in the past few months, he felt more and more that his body was failing.

He had to lead the royal family through this disaster. Only in this way, would he have the face to meet with the ancestors of the Ye family.

As for the ancestors, he would be willing to accept it even if they wanted to scold him or beat him, but the Ye Clan would not allow anything to happen to them in his hands.

Dong Shu who had already entered the Phoenix Palace did not know what the Emperor Ruikang and the Master Xuan Ling outside had said after she left.

This time when she entered the palace, Empress Hu took the initiative to send someone to pick her up.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out at this time.

Only, although she did not willingly go out today, she still revealed a happy smile after reaching the Phoenix Palace.

Before Dong Shu even had the chance to greet them, she had already heard the Empress Hu's voice from afar.

”You met His Majesty and the Master Xuan Ling outside the palace?”

Hearing Empress Hu's words, Dong Shu's body trembled for a moment. Then, she still paid her respects to Empress Hu, until she had finished saluting, and then she opened her mouth to reply, ”Mn, we did meet Your Majesty and Master Xuan Ling.”

”What did they tell you?”

The person Empress Hu had arranged to pick up Dong Shu was just directly chased away by Emperor Ruikang, so she only knew that Dong Shu had met Emperor Ruikang and Master Xuan Ling but did not know what they had told her.

Dong Shu did not know that the Empress Hu was worrying about him, upon hearing her question, she directly replied: ”Nothing much. In the end, the Master Xuan Ling even asked me what kind of snacks I should eat this season. As for His Majesty, he didn't say anything. He only looked at me, then told me to come quickly to see the Empress and not keep her waiting. ”

Empress Hu nodded her head continuously when Dong Shu was speaking. She could obviously tell that Dong Shu was lying, and most importantly, she confirmed her previous guess through Dong Shu's words.

”That's good then. I was even worried that they would bully you.”

Hearing Empress Hu's words, Dong Shu laughed: ”With the Empress's support ~ ~”

Hearing Dong Shu's coquettish words, Empress Hu immediately thought of Ye Jingche.

”Child, you just have a big heart. Even if you have me as your backer, then hasn't Ye Jingche still yet come to apologize to you?” After saying all that, the Empress Hu paused for a while before continuing, ”As for the words that he told people to spread out, they sound fake. You can't believe it.”

Dong Shu did not expect the Empress Hu to say such words to her. She looked at him and laughed, then said: ”Even without this matter, the relationship between us Xu Family and him will not be good.”

Just as Dong Shu said this, the Empress Hu immediately laughed.

That's right, she had forgotten. Exactly how things went back then, Xu Family believed in her!
