C208 Pigeon (1/2)
At this moment, Su Mu seemed to hear the pigeon calling again. She walked towards the direction of the pigeon, and not far away, she saw the familiar pigeon again. This time, it had a letter tied to its foot.
Su Mu was indescribably anxious in her heart. She was afraid that this letter would tell her an enormous secret, but she was also afraid that this letter wouldn't contain anything. Su Mu stepped forward, took the letter off the pigeon's foot, and then released the pigeon.
The pigeon first flew three rounds around the Nether Valley before leaving.
Su Mu stared at it, his heart thinking, could something special have happened? Why is a pigeon so strange?
Just then, the voices of a man and a woman came from behind Su Mu. The voices of the two were extremely soft and if not for the pigeons calling, Su Mu would not have been able to find them!
She suddenly understood. She hid behind a big tree and heard the man say, ”A Xiang, the two of us are always like this, sneaking around isn't really a good idea. For you, I came to this palace to be your guard. But now …”
”Big Brother Lin, as matters stand, I am also unwilling. But, I have already been bestowed the title of a genius by the Emperor. If I want to leave then it won't be that easy!”
Su Mu looked at the two people, the woman was clearly the same Wan Xiang, whom Lin Yi had bestowed the title to a genius a few days ago. Only, this Ah Xiang had an average appearance and average character, and had always been amongst these recent beauties, unable to leave any deep impression on Lin Yi, but perhaps because she was obedient, Lin Yi did not dislike her, and did not let her go home. Instead, he was trapped in the palace for some reason.
At this time, seeing that the two of them were tightly hugging each other, Su Mu felt a little awkward. He didn't know where to look, this must be a couple who were secretly dating, right?
Life in the palace was very lonely, and countless of concubine and palace maids were all anxious to find a way out for him, not to mention these young girls who had already grown close to him before entering the palace. It was just that, while there was only Lin Yi among the palace men, they had trapped countless of women.
Her weeping was too loud, making it obvious that the man wasn't feeling too at ease. He held her tighter and tighter as he spoke, ”Don't speak nonsense. It's fine, you'll definitely settle it. Don't worry, I heard my father say that when the empress dowager's sixtieth birthday arrives, the emperor will release a batch of palace ladies. When that happens …”
”Big Brother Lin, but I'm already a genius. I'm the emperor's woman, how could you let me go!”
”It's alright, you're still pure right now. The Emperor didn't summon you to sleep. As long as I do something great, I'll go beg the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely agree.” Su Mu looked at this man, but could not remember who he was?
Su Mu thought, the majority of the people in the palace were probably members of influential families, so that they could become guards. Judging from the clothes this person was wearing, it should at least be a guard with a blade of the fourth rank.
Su Mu had originally wanted to go up and remind them, but after thinking about it, since he was now Imperial Concubine Hui and the master of this palace, these people would have to guard against him.
