”Why not?” Tears welled up in Lan Ruo'er's eyes when she heard this. In fact, ever since the first time she had seen Xuanyuan Zhiling and the moment she had saved her and then hugged her, Lan Ruo'er's heart had been given to him.

But Xuanyuan Zhiling still maintained a nonchalant attitude and said: ”Do you really think that you can go home whenever you want to? Have you ever thought about whether your home is safe or not, or whether it is still under Xuanyuan Mocheng's control! ”

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said till here, his eyes stared straight at Lan Ruo'er.

”Is the emperor concerned about Nore?” Lan Ruo'er tried to look into Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes, but those eyes were still cold and unapproachable.

Xuanyuan Zhiling seemed to have caught on to something as he said with a sunken face, ”The empress has just returned, it's best if you don't cause any trouble.” Xuanyuan Zhiling's words could not be more obvious, it was a warning to Lan Ruo'er.

”Causing trouble? Norrell only said the truest thoughts in his heart. ” Lan Ruo'er lowered her head and said. From time to time, she would raise her eyes and look at Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed and did not say a word.

”I know that the Emperor loves the empress the most, but I don't ask for anything else other than to be with the Emperor every day. Even if he doesn't have any status, it doesn't matter, as long as I can have him stay by his side.” Lan Ruo'er said with a pleading look in her eyes.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, his eyes stared fixedly at Lan Ruo'er. Since this girl dared to say such words in front of His Majesty today, she could be considered to be very courageous.

So you're saying you're going to be a palace maid at my side?” Xuanyuan Zhi Ling had originally wanted to tease her, but how could a young miss be willing to be a mere palace maid?

But Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't expect that Lan Ruo'er would actually agree to it.

”If I could stay by the side of the emperor, I would be willing to even be a palace maid.” Lan Ruo'er did not hesitate to say these words, causing Xuanyuan Zhiling to be shocked. Xuanyuan Zhiling saw the determination in Lan Ruo'er's eyes.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed lightly and said: ”Alright, we'll talk about this another day, but we definitely won't allow you to return home, and furthermore, in our hearts, you are only our little sister.” Xuanyuan Zhiling turned and walked out as he said this.

As Lan Ruo'er watched Xuanyuan Zhiling's resolute back, a tear fell from the corner of his eye. Lan Ruo'er knew that she wasn't able to compare herself to Qin Feng in Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart, but she simply wanted to stay by Xuanyuan Zhiling's side.

Xuanyuan Zhiling walked out of the imperial study and straight to Qin Feng's Blue Bird Hall.

”The emperor has arrived …”

If it was a normal day, Qin Feng would have definitely welcomed him earlier, but this time, when Xuanyuan Zhiling stepped through the door, he did not see Qin Feng.

Xuanyuan Zhiling looked around and realized that Qin Feng was lying on the bed resting, with his back facing him.

”Why haven't you come to welcome me personally this time?” Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, his heart still feeling a little disappointed, but when Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he had already done his best to make his tone sound a little more relaxed.

Qin Feng still had her back to Xuanyuan Zhiling, and did not speak nor turn her head.

”What happened to my empress?” Xuanyuan Zhiling hugged Qin Feng from behind and asked in a testing manner. At this time, Xuanyuan Zhiling still did not realize that his entire Blue Bird Hall had been completely surrounded by jealousy.

Qin Feng had been pretending to sleep ever since Xuanyuan Zhiling came in, and when she heard Xuanyuan Zhiling enter, he even intentionally ignored him. Presumably, there was no Empress who was more tyrannical than Qin Feng in this world, right? She actually dared to make faces at the emperor.

”The bird's nest is on the table, but it's cold now.” Qin Feng said coldly, but Qin Feng had already tried her best not to think too much into it, but she still couldn't help but want to know who the woman in the imperial study was.

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed in realization when he heard Qin Feng's words: ”So it's about getting angry at the bird's nest, what did I think it was about? If anyone dares to displease our queen, they deserve to die. ”

As Xuanyuan Zhiling spoke, he unhesitatingly picked up the bowl of cold bird's nest and began to eat it.

”It was you who provoked me. Let me ask you, why would there be a woman's voice in the imperial study?” Qin Feng could not hold it in anymore, turned around and asked with a questioning tone. Qin Feng stared fixedly at Xuanyuan Zhiling, afraid that she was hiding something from her.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, his expression immediately darkened. He slowly put down the bird's nest in his hand and said: ”So you heard it all?”

He took out a guilty look as his fingers fidgeted with the bowl in his hand, as if he was already very uneasy.

Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling like this, Qin Feng became even more furious.

”Is that true? Are you in love with another woman again? ” Qin Feng's heart immediately sank to the bottom. She originally had held onto a sliver of hope for Xuanyuan Zhiling, but she didn't expect him to admit it so quickly.

Thinking about it, Qin Feng could not hold back the tears in her eyes.
