C16 (1/2)

The carriage followed the empress dowager's carriage into the palace. During this time, Pu Xin waited at the side, but when they passed him, Huai Jin smelled the sweet fragrance of a sweet and pine tree. It was light, yet bitter.

When they were a distance away from the man, Huai Jin asked Ran Mei: ”Why is Xibo Marquis here?”

”Originally, Treason case was broken, but he was caught earlier. But no one expected that Shentidol would already be prepared, so he kept all of the stolen military secrets and Bei Ling's secret location in the capital to his trusted aides. If he died, these two things would be given out, so neither side dared to touch him right now. Furthermore, no one knows where the Shentidol is currently imprisoned by the Emperor. ”

At the entrance of Yongan Palace's palace, two palace maids were guarding the entrance, anxiously looking out. Seeing Huai Jin's palanquin, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief and ran over.

”Princess!” ”You're finally back!”

Before the two could even walk in front of them, they were stopped by Ran Mei: ”What happened?”

”Princess Zhao Yang is here!”

Ran Mei turned her head to look at the sedan, but the person inside did not have any reaction, so she had the two palace maids follow behind him, and she himself followed the two of them to the entrance of Yongan Palace's palace.

As soon as the sedan touched the ground, someone inside relayed the news. Zhao Yang straightened her body in the hall, her eyes staring straight at the door. Today, she definitely had to snatch the thing back — No, she was going to bring it back!

However, even though their eyes were aching from staring, not a single person could be seen. Zhao Yang glared at the palace maid who had just reported the news, and decided to personally go and check it out.

Because the original owner liked the carp, the front yard of Yongan Palace was specially dug out and made into a pond. Upon entering the Yongan Palace's palace gate, they would find themselves in that pond, which had a few bridges built over it. At the moment, Huai Jin and Ran Mei were walking on the bridge while toying with the golden carp in the pond, and from the entrance of the palace to where the two of them were standing, there were not even fifty steps.

Huai Jin glanced at the beautiful figure that came out of the main hall and stopped in her tracks. As if attracted by the pure gold carp in the pond, she threw some crumbs into the lake. Seeing that the golden carp had eaten all of the pieces that she had thrown away, it couldn't help but clap and cheer. It seemed extremely happy.

”Ran Mei, go and get some more fish food.”

Zhao Yang who was at her side saw her satisfied look, and immediately became angry. She had been waiting for her inside for a long time, and she was actually feeding fish here?!

Zhao Yang angrily ran to the bridge and knocked down the pastries in the palace maid's hands. A few of the pastries fell into the water, immediately causing the golden carp in the pond to rob them.

”An Ping!” You clearly know that I'm waiting for you inside, but why are you still feeding this fish?! ”

Huai Jin acted as if she had not heard, she turned around to go get the fish food, then turned to look at the empty plate. A look of disappointment flashed across his eyes: ”How come it's gone?” But when she saw Zhao Yang, his eyes suddenly brightened. ”Ah! The fish food is here. ”
