C562 Consecutive merit (1/2)

On the second day of the Queen's funeral, Changchun Palace's interior and exterior was decorated white. There was a sorrowful and depressing atmosphere around the place. Zhou Chengdi had already ordered a solemn funeral to be held ten days later.

The purple-robed Xiao He slowly walked down the steps of the Changchun Palace. Looking at the steps, he took out the meat patty in his hands and looked at the meat patty in front of him. His heart was empty and everyone was talking about the queen's funeral, Princess Eleven was too sad and sick, and the emperor told her to take care of her and not see anyone.

But Xiao He's heart was in turmoil from beginning to end, unable to calm down.

”Ling Yue'er, where are you? Do you know how worried I am about you?” He snapped a branch beside him and shouted in his heart.

He really wanted to marry Feng Lingyue back to the Xiao family as soon as possible. This way, he could at least constantly watch over her and protect her while they advanced and retreated together.

”What are you going to do with such a foolish person who has no one to protect him?” Xiao He's heart experienced burning torment.

”Young duke, you're here. Greetings to you.” Just as he was lost in thought, he saw Eunuch Feng De Gui lead a group of people out from the Changchun Palace to report something to Emperor Zhou.

”Eunuch Feng, may I speak with you …” Xiao He pulled Feng De Gui back and whispered.

Feng De Gui didn't wait for Xiao He to speak and sighed, ”Young Marquis, are you asking about the matter of the Eleventh Princess?”

Xiao He cupped his fists and said, ”Eunuch Feng is indeed someone who lived in front of the emperor. That's right, this general wants to know where your little sister is right now.” Is he really very sick? ”

Eunuch Feng looked at the handsome, young, and mature young Marquis in front of him and thought to himself, ”The Xiao family, especially the Duke of Xiao and the Poison Scorpion, is so deep in love with this young Marquis. It's a pity that the Eleventh Princess is a fake.”

He shook his head and said, ”Young Marquis, don't ask anymore. Princess Eleven is too sad and needs some rest. The Emperor won't allow anyone to disturb him, and neither are you.”

Xiao He saw Feng Degui's attitude and knew that he couldn't get anything out of him. He changed the way he asked, ”Then this eunuch will only answer the same thing, is she okay?”

Feng De Gui paused for a moment, then nodded, ”Okay.”

Hearing that, Xiao He's heavy face finally revealed a trace of a smile, and he was extremely happy as he said, ”That's good! ”That's good!”

”Eunuch Feng, this is a biscuit that Yue Er loves to eat. Give it to her for me, tell her to take care of her and don't worry about it. No matter what happens, I, Xiao He, will never leave her.”

Feng De Gui took the cake and listened to Xiao He's vow, ”This servant will take it for the young duke. This servant won't pass on the message for the young duke, if there's a chance, the young duke might as well tell the princess himself.”

”Then... Thank you, Eunuch Feng. ” Xiao He hesitated for a moment before cupping his hands.

Eunuch Feng stuffed the cake back into his sleeves and headed towards the Hall of Rongyuan.

Xiao He stood on the spot as he lightly clenched his fist —

Ling Yue'er, you have to be safe.

Within the Hall of Prosperity, Zhou Chengdi was sitting on a wide chair as he flipped through the imperial reports in front of him. From time to time, he coughed twice.
