74 Chapter 74 Abducting the Empress (1/2)
After the hug, Feng Jun Yi left the Phoenix Palace awkwardly. That short moment confused him for days. Ever since he was eleven he was always on the edge and had to watch his own movements. It was the first time for him to let his guard down and he already did something out of his character. Every time the two of them are together during meals, he would try his best to not talk about the hug. Although that's all he could think about whenever he sees her.
Contrary to Feng Jun Yi's flustered self, Lin Xulian already forgotten about the hugging incident. Or should we say she didn't mind it at all. Although she got quite flustered during the hug since she was not used to it, she didn't think too deeply about it. Her mind is occupied by what Rui heard in the second prince manor. She's been waiting for them to make a move. She's getting bored to death. The hospital that Feng Jun Yi promised her is still under construction and they still don't have enough doctors.
Lin Xulian is currently in the palace garden having an afternoon snack in the pavilion together with the Xiao sisters and Yin Mei. ”Boss, lately there are a lot of new servants and eunuch in the palace. But they change every day. Don't you find it suspicious?” Xiao Tian said while casually sipping her tea. Although she found it suspicious, she's not worried at all.
”Don't mind them. They are from the Jianghu. Just testing the waters.” Lin Xulian is equally calm.
”Jianghu? Are you going to play with them boss? Can I come?” Xiao Tianshi said enthusiastically.
Listening to the three people talking casually, Yin Mei finally got the big picture. The members of the Jianghu is currently in the palace and Lin Xulian is not planning to deal with them. ”Your majesty, are we not going to tell the emperor about this?” Yin Mei said worriedly on the side. Unlike the two Xiao sisters, she will still do her job as a servant even though Lin Xulian told her to sid and relax with her.
”He'll know sooner or later. Besides we cannot let them know that we are aware of their movements. But if anything happens, just tell him to bring as much witness as he can.” Lin Xulian said with a chilling smile. She then faced the Xiao sisters. ”Tian, Tianshi, inform big brother Huang about this. But make sure to tell him that he should not over react and trust me. Big brother Rui is with me anyway.”
”Sure thing boss. But will young master listen to us?”
”He should be or else I will not talk to him if he ruins my game.”
Yin Mei can't believe what she's hearing. They are talking about the Jianghu. The dangerous group that constantly attacked the emperor. This is some kind of a major thing right? Why are they so calm? But Yin Mei chose to listen to her master. All she needs to do is believe in her.

Lin Xulian walked around the garden alone after their afternoon snack. The Xiao sisters already left to go to the Lin manor, hoping to find Lin Huang. She also aked Yin Mei to leave and asked the servants to prepare dinner. She wants to be alone for a little time. Ever since she became an empress, she is constantly surrounded by servants and guards although she doesn't need them. She can always ditch them anytime but her Mei jiejie will constantly nag her.
Another reason why she wanted to be alone is because she felt a few presence lurking in the inconspicuous parts of the garden. And she could tell that these ones are much better than the previous ones who abducted her. Even the Xiao sisters can't deal with them. No wonder they can enter the palace with ease.
