C18 (1/2)
After leaving the busy palace, Yun Duan headed towards the palace where the Imperium was located. She was so fast that it didn't take long for her to arrive. From afar, she saw the departing official standing before the imperial palace.
As she was walking forward, she saw Ji Yunshu walking up to her. ”Good morning, Third King.”
”Where's Emperor Chen?”
The official then lowered his head and replied respectfully, ”His Majesty is resting!”
Rest?
”My son is dying of an illness, can he still sleep?”
”For the sake of the sixth prince, His Majesty has already found many methods!”
”I want to see him!”
Yun Duan moved forward as she spoke, leaving the official to stand in front of her. She did not dare to raise her head and said, ”Princess, His Majesty's health has not been well for the past few days. He finally fell asleep!”
Yun Duan scoffed coldly, ”You're quite bold now, you're leaving the official. Or are you asking for a lesson?”
The departing officials knelt down in front of Yun Duan with a thump. The guards and maids on duty all knelt down as well. Yun Duan raised his gaze and looked over; all of them uniformly landed on the ground. It was truly spectacular.
However, even if that was the case, she was going to meet Emperor Chen today.
He kicked away the departing officials in front of him and strode into the hall, leaving the officials in a hurry. ”Stop the three princesses!”
Yun Duan's eyes flashed with a cold glint. ”Let me see who dares!”
No one dared to say that this was the third prince's daughter. The new servant girl didn't know the reason, but the new servant girl didn't dare to say and could only shakily stand to the side.
Yun Duan swept a glance at the departing official and said, ”I see that you have had enough. You even dare to stop me. On account of the fact that I have something to do today, I'll let you off. There won't be a next time when you leave the official's office!”
The departing official trembled slightly under the ferocious gaze that revealed killing intent in Yun Duan's eyes. He lowered his head, afraid to say anything.
When Yun Duan kicked open the door, those who heard the sound felt their hearts jump. Although they managed to escape the punishment of the three princesses, they would not be able to escape the wrath of the emperor.
With a loud clang, the fine and fine Yuan wood door slowly bounced back, and the clouds flashed into the hall.
A warm fragrance wafted in the air. The taste was very good.
Yun Duan's gaze slowly swept across the grand hall. She didn't see Prince Chen's footsteps as he walked towards the inner hall. She didn't care whether it was appropriate for her to rush in like this or not.
However, with how loud she was, this Emperor Chen would definitely be able to hear it if he didn't die.
The moment he stepped into the inner room, a cold voice came from inside. It was just one word: ”Scram!”
Yun Duan paused for a moment before looking at the spiritual power floating above the door. She then asked mockingly, ”What? Are you bullying me because I don't have any spiritual power?”
”Scram!” It was another word, so cold it seemed like it was embedded with ice. However, Yu Yun Duan didn't care much about it. She had seen nothing in the desolate mountain and her voice was even colder than this.
”I only ask you, is there any way to save this busy road?”
She did not want to see the journey to be so painful, even if it was fate, she did not want to be seriously ill. To live a happy life and do some things that he wanted to do, it was better than living like a dead man right now.
There was no sound from inside, only silence and desolation.
Yun Duan clenched his five fingers and said, ”Is it fate? What is fate? ”
After a while, another voice sounded, sounding sad and tired. ”You can go now!”
Yun Duan was startled. This was the first time she felt the Emperor's emotions being revealed after returning from the desolate mountain. Even when she had angered him that day, he hadn't acted like this.
If she didn't give up, what was life count? She, this damned person, would not die. Instead, she would be plagued by that demon of disease.
”Really? Is there nothing I can do?”
Silence, a deathly silence.
Yun Duan stood outside the door for a very long time, until her legs went numb. She slowly turned around, her heart heavy. If even the Sunset Emperor couldn't do it, then she would have no way to do it.
Was he going to just watch as the journey became more and more complicated?
But what could he do?
When she went out, she stood outside the main hall, her gaze sweeping the horizon, leaving the official behind her.
”Dismissed!”
”This old servant is here!”
”Do you think we should be alone?”
Glimmers danced in the official's eyes but he could only sigh softly and did not speak.
Yun Duan did not want to hear anything and walked down the stairs tiredly.
The departing official glanced at her. ”This old servant has already prepared the Jade Carriage!”
Yun Duan waved his hand. ”No need!”
She wanted to be quiet for a bit. She had no idea what would happen in the future, but right now, she could only watch as the long and arduous journey ended. There was nothing she could do.
When she returned to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion, she saw Qiong Ying standing at the entrance of the hall, looking forward to it. When she saw Yun Duan walking towards her, she lifted her skirt and ran towards the clouds, but before she could reach her master, she had already opened her mouth, ”Master, where did you go? Let me find you!”
To be honest, Yun Duan had really forgotten about this girl.
Didn't you go to play with the wood clothes? ”Why are you back so early?”
Hearing this, Qiong Ying thought Yun Duan had gone to find the wooden clothes. She was so shocked that her eyes turned red. She fidgeted with her fingers and said, ”I was wrong. Mistress, please don't be angry!”
Yun Duan raised her eyebrows. Did she say anything heavy?
Wasn't this girl too timid?
