Chapter 428 - How can there be a perfect ending if I donst marry you? 1 (2/2)

”That's not necessary.” Zhao Zhe took a deep breath, curved his lips up, and said, ”Have Taxue personally send Miss Nie out of the palace. Qing-er, stay here. This emperor hasn't had a good talk with you in a long time.”

Elated, Shen Youqing immediately voiced her assented.

Ji Man's heart also relaxed. She hurriedly followed after Taxue as if she was fleeing from this place.

---

As they were walking on a path, Taxue quietly asked her, ”Miss, do you not like the palace?”

Ji Man shook her head and said, ”It's not that I don't like that palace. It's just that the person I like isn't in the palace, so for me, this palace is the same as a prison.”

Stunned, Taxue turned back to look at her. ”Miss, you still like Marquis Moyu?”

”Huh?” Ji Man chuckled. Ning Yuxuan was only a character in a novel. Why would she like him?

”If you don't like him, then the outside world is a prison too. Miss, why give up a splendorous cage for a simpler one?” After Taxue said this, he turned his head back and led her down a small path.

Ji Man was stunned by his words. She lowered her eyes and wryly laughed.

She hadn't expected Taxue to be a wise person.

Clearly, it shouldn't have taken them a long time to exit the palace if they were taking a direct path. However, Taxue took her on meandering route that passed by the inner palace.

”Aiya, wasn't that child already sent out of the palace? Why has he come back?” Two female palace servants were holding bundles of clothing and quietly discussing as they walked on the same path as them.

Ji Man raised her head to look. When the two female palace servants saw them, they saluted. Then, they moved aside and stopped by the wall to wait for them to pass. When they continued walking, they continued to discuss.

”How could I know where that child came from? That child, Haohao, used to stay in Wangyue Building. He disappeared for a while, but he's back again. Who knows who's going to end up having to care of him? I only caught a glimpse of him. He's such a cute child...”

Slightly pausing, Ji Man turned her head to look at those two female palace servants. They had already walked far away and disappeared around a corner of the palace.
