When Liu Ruyan left, Eunuch Xu had already brought tea in.

”Your majesty, where's the Empress?” He looked around to see that there was no one around, then asked.

”Her complexion isn't too good as she returned to her Zichen Palace.”

Lian Chengming's face was expressionless, but it was impossible to determine whether he was happy or angry. However, his pair of deep eyes were filled with a complicated expression that made people unable to understand what he was saying.

”Forgive this old servant for speaking one more time, Your Majesty, why do you have to go through so much trouble?” There were some things that had to be told to the Consort Fangyi, so why should he hide it from her? If the Consort Fangyi knew about this, I believe she wouldn't have misunderstood His Majesty. ”

Eunuch Xu was an old man serving by the emperor's side, so naturally, he had an extra bit of goodwill towards the emperor. Compared to the so-called master-servant relationship, he felt a little more true love.

Why? Lian Chengming's heart was also filled with countless complex emotions, but he did not utter a single word.

Eunuch Xu had only asked him this question in the beginning, not hoping that the Emperor would answer him.

”The tea is ready. Have a taste, your majesty.”

”Put it there, you can leave first. I want to be alone.”

Eunuch Xu respectfully retreated.

Along the way, Liu Ruyan felt that her steps were very exaggerated. It was as if she was stepping on clouds.

”Empress, do you feel uncomfortable right now? Do you need to ask for an imperial physician?”

”This is not a good place to talk. Jane, help me return to my room first. There are some things that we need to put on the agenda for. ”

Liu Ruyan understood once again how stupid she would be if she placed all her hope on someone else.

In this world, there was no one that could truly be relied on, just as there was no one that could forever be her reliance.

Right now, she could only rely on herself, so she had to think of a way. She couldn't keep her father waiting, and she couldn't go back to the old path from her previous life …

”What does the Empress have to say to this servant?” The Jane sent all the female servant out before carefully closing the door. It was announced to the outside that the Consort Fangyi was not feeling well, and it was fine as long as she was by her side.

”If only I could make a trip out of the palace. Now that I'm trapped in this palace, there are many things that I can't do. I don't know how Mother is right now. The situation in the Residence is also unclear. ”

Liu Ruyan's heart was extremely anxious, she felt that her brain was about to explode, and was continuously buzzing non-stop.

”But Empress, we are still concubines right now, so how can we leave the palace so easily? If this matter was caught, it would be a great crime to exterminate the nine clans. This will not only affect the Old Master and the Old Madam, it will also implicate the entire Liu Family Clan.

Jane was afraid that Liu Ruyan would become anxious and not think about anything in the future.

”Don't worry about that, I know it very well. Naturally, I will not harm the clansmen. ”

Since she was reborn, then she will protect this life that she has always wanted to protect. This way, she wouldn't waste the chance to be reborn.

”Jane, you said that now that mother and the Emperor have received news, the civil and military officials of the empire will naturally have news. Maybe we can start with them. ”

It was originally an unintentional phrase, but Liu Ruyan suddenly reminded herself.

His father was an upright man, and he had quite a few good friends in the imperial court. Since the emperor was unreliable here, she could ask them for help.
