Chu Wanru looked at the back of Chu Lianruo, her voice still melancholic, but there was no hint of sadness on her face: "Sister, you must remember this lesson well."

  Mr. Li led Chu Lianruo along a seemingly remote route, following the winding bluestone path, and Chu Lianruo already knew in her heart where she was being taken.

  That place was all too familiar to her, and it turned out to be Fengjiu Palace.

  That familiar palace gate, on top of the gate is a red wooden signboard with several large characters written in dragon and phoenix dance: Fengmiao Palace.

  After the death of the former empress, Xiurong had not yet established a new empress, so Fengmiao Palace was left vacant. Rumors outside said that the emperor's heart still deeply loved the former empress, but since she had committed an unforgivable crime against national law, the emperor could not pardon her, and the only thing he could do was to leave the position of empress empty as a sign of his longing for her.

  When she heard such rumors, Chu Lianer smiled brightly. Love? This was truly a huge joke. How could such a cold and unfeeling man have love in his heart? It's likely that he deeply loved Yu Guifei instead. Unfortunately, Yu Guifei came from a poor background, even if he wanted to support her as the empress, it wouldn't be possible.

  Just as Chu Lian was lost in thought, Li Gong led her into the Feng Mao Palace. Chu Lian's heart sank, but a puzzled expression still appeared on her face, "Gong, why did you lead me to this noble place where the empress resides? Could it be that I am to be punished within the Feng Mao Palace?"

  Li Gonggong smiled with deep meaning, "You wait here then." After finishing speaking, he hastily walked out, leaving only Chulian alone in the Fengmiao Palace.

  Perhaps it was because no one had lived there for a long time, and only someone came to clean up every day, without any maids or servants inside. Chu Lianruo looked around, as if she had returned to the past again.

  Qin Zhaixin, who used to be here, holding a lantern and waiting for that person's arrival, only to wait until deep in the night, but only to hear news of the emperor resting in the Yu Fei Palace. Qin Zhaixin, alone and waiting, listened every night to the footsteps outside the door, counting the Hanbaiyu floor tiles polished to a brilliant sheen as he drifted off to sleep.

  The decorations here are still the same as before, the carved red wooden wardrobe, the dressing table with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, but Chu Lian can no longer see the silly woman who used to smile wholeheartedly for one person in these scenes. Yes, she can't be seen, the former Qin Zhaixin has long been dead in the cold harem, her body not even covered by clothes.

  But now Chu Lianruo, although he came to avenge Qin Zhaoxin, will never be the Qin Zhaoxin who was bullied by others in the past.

  At this time, a person walked in from the entrance. With such an overwhelming aura, Chu Lian could guess who it was even without lifting her head.

  She took a step forward, knelt down on both knees and said: "Your Majesty is auspicious, please punish Your Majesty."

  Xu Rong looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes deep and profound. After a pause, he helped Chu Lianruo up. As his hand touched Chu Lianruo's soft and boneless small hand, it suddenly gave him a momentary daze.

  It seems that Chu Lian did not expect the person in front of her to make such a move, and she subconsciously took a step back, pulling her hand out of Xun Rong's.

  His eyebrows slightly furrowed, the women before had all thrown themselves at him, but the woman in front of him actually refused. But precisely because of this, his interest became even more intense.

  Xu Rong swept his gaze around and said in a low voice: "Do you know where this is?"

  "Your Majesty, I think it should be one of the palaces where a princess resides."
