As the heralds voice sounded, the golden phoenix sedan chair I was sitting in slowly descended to the ground. Xun Yun stepped forward and lifted the curtain for me, while in front of us, Nan Chengyao had a lazy smile on his face and casually extended his hand to me.

  I lowered my eyelashes and then raised them again, having suppressed all inappropriate emotions.

  With an invincibly perfect smile, I elegantly placed my hand on his wrist, and with a gentle pace, stepped down from the sedan chair, right in front of me was the resplendent Zijing Palace.

  Xun Yun supported me as we journeyed on, this was originally what Xiang Ying should have done. But now, she lay alone in the San Wang Fu, unconscious and unresponsive.

  But I not only cant stay with her, but also have to accompany the one who hurt her, speaking softly and smiling lightly, leaving a silhouette of a harmonious couple for the world.

  I sighed inwardly, I shouldnt blame him.

  He spared the lives of me and Shuying, which was already the greatest mercy. For him, wasnt it also a risk? After all, only the dead can keep secrets forever.

  Its just that understanding is one thing, but deep down, its impossible to be completely free of resentment.

  I recall last nights sparse shadow on her body, the glistening wounds and so much blood that had seeped into her blue dress.

  At that time, I was completely absorbed in it and spared no effort to save her from suffering.

  Xun Yun obviously had the consent of Nan Chengyao, quietly serving me tea and medicine on the side without saying a word, and I also didnt have the leisure to pay attention to her.

  Just as I could finally let out a sigh of relief, Nan Chengyaos voice sounded from behind me, with a hint of a smile: "I didnt know that the Mu Rong family was so learned, and even their daughter has such exquisite medical skills, seemingly not inferior to the national hands of the Imperial Hospital."

  I looked slightly tired, but I could still hear the suspicion in his words, so I quietly opened my mouth: "Qinger was kidnapped when she was young and fortunately rescued by a noble person, who also taught her these medical common sense."

  He smiled and asked: "The medical skills of Mr. Han Yu are naturally extraordinary, but isnt he someone who never teaches others?"

  I was shocked in my heart, the world only knows that I once fell off a cliff and was rescued, but the fact that the person who saved me is Su Xiu is something that only a very small number of close family members know. Firstly, its according to his wishes, secondly, Father also said that getting entangled with such a famous figure in the martial arts world, if more people find out, it may not be a good thing.

  But Nan Chengyao broke it with such a careless remark, and it turned out that I still underestimated his city government and means.

  I didnt ask him how he knew, nor did I let surprise show on my face. I simply lowered my eyelashes and spoke softly: "Its just a coincidence."

  He smiled slightly and didnt ask further, his eyes were as cold as ever, he didnt say anything else, stepped out of the door, leaving Xunyun alone in the room to serve.

  "Your Highness, the Emperors bedroom is just ahead." Xunyuns words brought me back to my senses.

  I gathered my thoughts, put on an impeccable smile, and followed South承曜 into the Dingqian Palace with a dignified demeanor, allowing her to support me.

  The current emperor is an old man with a cold and hard expression, perhaps due to his illness, he looks somewhat tired.

  I presented tea with both hands, made a bow according to etiquette, and said in a warm and elegant tone: "Qinger offers greetings belatedly, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I respectfully wish you good health and longevity, and a double fulfillment of blessings."

  There was a eunuch who took tea from me and presented it to the Emperor, he slightly sipped a mouthful, then put it down and let me stand upright, his tone was still quite gentle.

  After serving tea, I followed the eunuch out of the emperors bedroom and should have paid respects to the empress according to custom.

  Now that Empress Xiaoci is deceased, the position of empress has been vacant for a long time. Moreover, the birth mother of Nan Chongyao had also passed away. Therefore, the eunuchs led me to Qingyang Palace, where the noble consort resides. She currently holds the highest rank and enjoys the emperors favor, exercising jurisdiction over the six palaces.

  Nan Chengyao stayed in Dingqian Palace as usual, so I went alone to offer tea and pay respects to Qing Guifei.

  Elegant curtsy, hands holding a colorful cup raised to the eyebrows, I softly said: "Wishing Your Highness infinite happiness and peace."

  The voice is finished, but its slow, and there is no response.

  Although I lowered my head and closed my eyes, I could still feel that there were two unclear gazes stuck on me for a long time.

  After a long time, a lazy female voice finally spoke up: "Bao Zhu, hurry up and take the tea from the Third Princess, be careful not to let her hands get tired."

  Every word is so gentle and penetrating, making one want to forget, yet unable to forget.
