99 Chapter 99 Going Out To Play (1/2)
Lin Xulian is about to leave the pavilion when she noticed a flaming red bird approaching her direction. She let Fei land on her arm and took the letter off his feet. The letter came from Feng Jun Yi asking her to return as soon as possible because he wants to take him somewhere.
Of course she finds it odd. Feng Jun Yi is not someone who would suddenly arrange a spontaneous trip without preparation. So she assumed that this might be an important trip just like when they went to the An Valley to treat Gong Weixie.
It is still early afternoon when Lin Xulian left the hospital. She made sure that her subordinates can handle all the remaining cases before she decided to leave.

The moment Lin Xulian returned in the palace, she directly went to her Phoenix Palace to change. But to her surprise, she found Feng Jun Yi waiting for her inside her chamber. He is wearing a casual black robes, with silver thread embroidered crane pattern. He usually wore this type of robes whenever he goes out on an unofficial business.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Xulian immediately assumed that they were about to go out on a mission. What added to her suspicion is the fact that Feng Jun Yi looked nervous for some reason. 'Maybe we are dealing with a serious and troublesome matter.' Lin Xulian thought.
Feng Jun Yi is actually really nervous. After Xu Yichen convinced him to look into his feelings for Lin Xulian, he decided to go and give it a try. And the best time should be now on her birthday. But for some reason after seeing her at this moment, he felt really nervous. ”You're here. I already asked the servants to prepare what you need. You only need to change if you want to.”
”Ok. I'll be quick. Where are we going anyway? Is it something important? You look really nervous.” Lin Xulian probed.
Feng Jun Yi got a bit flustered. ”Well, you could say that. I want to show you a place.”
Lin Xulian looked at him in confusion. ”We are not going out on a mission or something?”
”No.” Feng Jun Yi confirmed.
”So...are we going out to play?” Lin Xulian said skeptically. She just asked as a guess. Although she really does want to play, she finds it hard to believe that Feng Jun Yin will make time to accompany her.
”Yes. You could consider it as that.” Feng Jun Yi cannot understand why she is asking him with a tone that tells him that she doesn't believe him.
Alas, she really does not believe him. Lin Xulian raised her eyebrows. ”Really? You never took me out to play before.”
”I didn't?” Feng Jun Yi knitted his eyebrows and thought back on their four years together. And he realized that indeed, he never took her out to play. They would usually travel together for official business as the emperor and empress or during emergency missions just like when they went to the Jianghu. Feng Jun Yi felt guilty. It is indeed as what Xu Yichen said. He is really leaving her to wither in his back palace.
”Does this has something to do with my birthday?”
