C43 (2/2)

Wen Shili's voice sank as if he had the power of thousands of men at his disposal, ”This official offers his advice to you …”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.

Chen Jinyan was finally tired of playing with the flower. When the two fingers pinching the stem of the flower loosened, the flower involuntarily fell to the ground.

”It's better to think about it before answering.” His tone instantly became distant, ”I promised your father that I would never let you be in danger, so I'll give you a chance to go back on your word. If you keep this promise even after serious consideration, it won't be too late for you to return.”

He even patted Wen Shili's shoulder, but didn't say anything. He only gave him a deep look, then turned around and left.

Just as Luo Yi and Chen Liyi sneakily arrived at the Imperial Garden, what they saw was exactly this scene.

Luo Yi and Mu Yizhou had turned around and were walking in this direction. Luo Yi felt that she would never be able to react so quickly in her entire life, so she quickly pulled Chen Liyi along and hid in a bush that was half the height of a person when the two of them turned around.

Caught off guard, Chen Liyi was almost dragged down by her. After squatting down steadily beside Luo Yi with much difficulty, before he even had the chance to speak, he was once again covered with one hand and looked ahead diagonally with the other.

The group of people in front of him was the one he didn't want to see the most.

Chen Liyi became quiet, obediently lowering his body a bit. Not only that, he even held his breath in as well.

He was a little pleased, thinking that Sister must have been like him, not liking this cheap emperor. She didn't know that the reason why she kept pressing down on him was not because of Zhi Zun, but because of that weird man wearing a mask behind him.

Luo Yi didn't even dare to raise her head.

Lin Yaoniao was right, she was afraid of him.

Since it has come to this, Luo Yi can't even deceive herself anymore. I'm just scared of giving up on myself, what about it! While sshe was thinking, he quietly looked outside.

Mu Yizhou had already walked in front of her. Luo Yi heaved a sigh of relief, just in case she did not come out immediately.

The long line of maids paused for a moment, but then quickly resumed their pace. No one knew that during that short pause, a masked man let out an unintelligible laugh from his throat.

”You should regret it now …” Chen Jinyan rarely laughed at him, ”She's even started to hide from you.”

”This subject does not regret it,” Mu Yizhou lowered his eyes, his tone was light, but it revealed a subtle sense of death.

”She'll find out sooner or later.”

Luo Yi, who was unaware of the fact that she was in another person's words, stared at him in shock: ”Why are you still here?”

Wen Shili's expression did not change, ”I just saw you …. ”Greetings, Your Highness.”

”What?” Luo Yi was shocked, she nervously turned her head to look at the small path which had long since disappeared, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Wen Shili looked at her actions in a baffling manner, his eyes blinking: ”The Empress is hiding from me?”

”Ugh …” ”I guess so …” She waved her hand in disapproval, then half squatted down as she coaxed Chen Liyi to go play with her.

She was the concubine. In this palace, the only person she could hide from was probably that person …

Wen Shili stood in place, watching the interaction between the two of them from above. Then, he watched as Imperial Consort Yi coaxed the crown prince away before standing up and knocking him into his own eyes.

Honestly speaking, Luo Yi felt that it was strange for him to be able to look this person in the eye with just a glance, but she couldn't really say how it felt. Thus, she ignored this strange feeling and looked him in the eye: ”Mr. Wen has something to say to me?”

”Is Mr. Wen not in good spirits today?” Luo Yi looked up and down at Wen Shili, she did not dare believe that these were actually asked from his mouth, but seeing her unperturbed face, she did not say much, and casually said: ”I was deceiving her.”

She still felt that it was unbelievable, how could Wen Shili not think of this?

”She's just a weak girl, yet she appeared in such a remote place late at night. If she's not very daring, then there must be someone beside her …” Who would have thought that she would be so defenceless. ”

As Luo Yi spoke, she moved on to the next topic, and shook his head, sighing over the mental state of this year's palace maids.

Wen Shili couldn't help but laugh, as his lowered eyes contained the smile within. ”Empress is right.”

However, after these words, the two once again fell into an awkward silence.

If it weren't for the fact that his expression was too obvious earlier, she would have left with Chen Liyi after greeting him briefly. But now that she had already answered his question, Luo Yi decided to say his goodbyes.

”Ugh …” ”It's not bad, right …”

Luo Yi frowned, she did not know why he would suddenly mention it.

She had heard of this place before, and it was even more remote than her hometown. It was a place famous for jade and stone, and the ”Jade Selection Peak Ye” that the elderly often spoke of was this Feng Ye.

She blinked her eyes as though she wanted to ask a question, but Wen Shili suddenly knelt down on one knee and saluted towards her: ”This subject still has matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first.”

Luo Yi, ”...”

Mr. Wen was not in a good mood today!
