C142 (1/2)
In the quiet room, they could only hear each other's breathing. In the dead of night, it was likely that only the two of them were still chatting in the entire imperial palace. Long Zhaoting pondered for a while, sighed and said, ”It seems that you really shouldn't have moved to Jinhe Palace. I've never seen you having nightmares before, it must be because of the depression in your heart.”
”Your majesty doesn't need to worry, just get used to the environment after a day or two.” She was the only one who knew why she kept having nightmares about Long Zhaofan being killed. That was because she was too resistant to the arrival of the Houtian realm martial artists. That was the day when she would part with Long Zhaoting and the Boss!
”Why don't you go to my Qing He Palace for a few nights first?” Long Zhaoxuan suddenly suggested.
Lin Mu Fan shook his head and rejected him. He hugged him as he softly said, ”Your majesty, at a time like this, you shouldn't do such special things to prevent others from feeling unhappy and then bringing harm to your majesty!”
”This isn't special. You're the imperial concubine, the Little Prince's birth mother. Who else can you give the position of Empress other than you?” Long Zhaofeng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this.
Lin Mu Chen felt that there was nothing he could say, so he stopped speaking. These matters were already decided by the Emperor and had nothing to do with her. He didn't want to make the Emperor unhappy by talking too much now.
”Alright, Mu Chen, hurry up and rest.” Lin Mu Chen, who was in her embrace, nodded. He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep in this long and terrifying night.
Because he hadn't slept well that night, it was already late in the morning when Lin Mufan woke up the next day. Instinctively, she was shocked and cried out, ”Little Green! Little Green! ”
”Empress, what's wrong?” Green, who was working outside, rushed in and opened the tent.
”Where's the Boss?” Lin Mufan glared at her. The Boss had obviously been sleeping by her side the entire time, so why had it disappeared?
Green smiled faintly, helping her up while saying, ”Empress, you've gotten confused again. The little prince is playing outside with Zhu'er. Besides Jinhe Palace, the little prince won't be able to go anywhere else.”
”Oh …” Lin Mu Fan's high and mighty heart was finally at ease. It seemed that she had fallen asleep in a daze. She had been possessed by a nightmare and had gone crazy. She felt that she had been carried away without being able to see the Boss for even a second.
”Where's the emperor? Did you leave early? ” Even though she knew this question was stupid, she still asked it. The Emperor knew that he would wake up in the middle of the night and ask her about it, so there was no need to ask.
But Xiao Lu still answered seriously, nodding her head. ”His Imperial Majesty had already woken up in the fourth fragment of the night. Empress, please take a seat. I'll get someone else to bring some water for you to wash your face with.”
Lin Mofan had cleaned her face with her help. Just as she was about to prepare breakfast, a little servant girl suddenly rushed in with a pale face and said, ”Empress, it's bad. Senior An has passed away for some reason.”
The chopsticks in Lin Mofan's hand quivered as he raised his head to look at her. By his side, Little Green berated in a low voice, ”Little girl, you said such unlucky things to the Empress early in the morning. Why aren't you leaving?”
The little girl realized that it was not appropriate to say this now, so she quickly kneeled down, ”Your servant deserves to die! ”Please forgive me, esteemed lady.” As she spoke, she began to retreat. However, Lin Mu Fan suddenly called out to her, ”Wait!”
When the little girl stopped, Lin Mu Fan asked in surprise, ”What did you say? Feudal Lord An … she passed away? ”How could that be?” How could someone like Venerable An suddenly die? She was still fine last night, yet she was still fighting over the house with her. Did he die for some other reason? There must be something strange about this!
The little girl saw that Lin Mufan had taken the initiative to ask, so she lowered her head and said seriously, ”Little sister Lu told me to bring that pot of Violet Orchid Grass from the Cloud Palace to the Jin He Palace. When I went there, I was stopped by two guards, and only after inquiring did I find out that Venerable An had passed away.
Lin Mu Fan was stunned for a moment before he stood up from his chair. With a grave expression, he said: ”I'll go take a look.”
”Empress, please wait.” Green hurriedly pressed down on her body and comforted her in a low voice, ”Empress, don't worry. We'll have to consider this further. This noble man An's death is really strange. If esteemed wangfei were to go, it would definitely arouse suspicion.”
Lin Mu Fan thought about it for a while and agreed. Everyone knew that Venerable An died in Yun He Palace, so the first person they would suspect would be her. She decided to obediently stay in Jin He Palace and not meddle in other people's business.
After eating breakfast, he played with the Boss for a long time. However, he didn't see Long Zhaoting come over. In the past, he would come over to see her whenever he wanted to. And today … Perhaps it was at the Cloud Palace, after all, the sudden death of someone of noble status An Xianfeng left many suspicions, her death would definitely bring him trouble!
Lin Mofan had sent Little Green to the Cloud and the palace to check on the situation, but it still hadn't come back after a long time. This made her feel uneasy. Finally, Little Green returned. Lin Mufan handed the BOSS to Zhu'er, who impatiently stood up and asked, ”How is it? Did you find out how Venerable An died? ”What's the situation over there?”
