Chapter 227 - The Imperial Edict Summoning Her to the Imperial Palace (2/2)
Xing Er tried to go with them but he was stopped. After all, the imperial edict had noted clearly that only Jing Yue was invited and no guard was allowed to follow. Therefore, Xing Er had no options but to watch Jing Yue leave with them anxiously.
The master was on the way back right now but he would arrive tomorrow morning even he rode the horse without a break.
The problem was, Could Jing Yue hold out until he came back?
Xing Er didn’t know at all.
Standing in front of the door for a long while, Xing Er suddenly thought of something and immediately turned around running to the horse. He gave a leap and landed himself on the saddle of the horse and rode away.
Soon, Jing Yue arrived at the Palace. This was the second time for her standing in the Imperial Study. She remembered when she came here with Xiao Chen last time, she was so nervous and totally had no idea about imperial manners and rules. In this case, she was still scared a bit even she got Xiao Chen with her at that time.
But this time, she did perfectly on the kowtow etiquette. Moreover, she didn’t worry at all. Although she came here alone this time, she still kept a calm face.
“Jing Yue, do you know the reason why you are here now?” Sitting on the throne, Xiao Ye looked down at the women kneeling in front of him and asked with his eyebrows furrowed together tightly. Nearby him, Fu Ruoqing who was kneading the shoulders of the Emperor took her hands back after hearing the words. Meanwhile, an odd light flashed across her dark deep eyes.
“Yes, I do.” Jing Yue lowered her head answering, “The reason must be the case that someone died in the Restaurant on East Street.”
“I’m so glad that you know it!” Xiao Ye’s face darkened. Without any cover, the stateliness of an Emperor from him was enough to let Jing Yue know what kind of merciless punishment she would get once she said something wrong.
“I heard that it was you who was in charge of that Restaurant?” Xiao Ye snorted and looked at her speaking.
