Fu Ling looked back at her and Zhuo Qing softly asked, “Is she doing well these days?” The last time she saw Qing Feng, she felt that she disregarded her psychological state and in order to deal with Yan Hong Tian and the people around, it was not easy at all. To let her help for her today, Zhuo Qing felt very guilty about it.

Mistress should not wish for Lou Furen to worry about her. Fu Ling gently smiled and replied, “Mistress is doing well.”

Zhuo Qing shook her head, this female had a detailed heart. Zhuo Qing waved her hand to her and said, “You should quickly head back.”

“Yes.” Fu Ling did not speak any more and jump off from the carriage and ran towards the Northern gates. That black clad male jump onto the carriage and with a whip, the for horses galloped away like an arrow. Seeing the speed of the carriage, Ming Ze knows that he would not be able to follow it with his speed and Fu Ling was able to reach the Northern gate earlier.

When she almost ran near the Palace gates, Fu Ling stopped her steps and took a few large breaths and waited till her breathing has steadied before entering the Northern gates. When Fu Ling just entered the Palace gates, she felt an inquiring gaze on her and she lifted her head to look. It was Ming Ze. Fu Ling smiled slightly to him and when they pa.s.sed one another, Fu Ling softly said, “Thanks.” Fu Ling thought to herself that this person did not seem unreasonable, whereas Ming Ze look at her back view thoughtfully.

Yous.h.i.+ (modern timing: 5 – 7 pm) has pa.s.sed and if successful, FU Ling should have gotten the seal. Qing Feng was restless the entire day and stood by the window and watching the begonias could only make her calm down a bit. Before her hands touched the flowers, Qing Feng’s mind has flew far away.

A bunch of steps could be heard from outside Qing Feng Hall and Qing Feng anxiously looked over and saw a female clad as a palace maid carrying a bow and carefully walked it. It was not Fu Ling. Qing Feng was a bit disappointed but she say that female walking over to Lan-er’s side and softly spoke, “Older sister Lan-er. hot and dry during the autumn, this servant brought you lily and white fungus soup. As older sister Fu Ling is just nice not here, do serve it to Mistress.”

The voice was very light and if Qing Feng was not standing by the window, she would definitely not heard it. Lan-er took the bowl over and smiled, “You are indeed careful. In future you do not need to clean the yard sort of work. Help me to take care of these plants, her Ladys.h.i.+p treasures them a lot.”

A touch of sweet smile appear on the female’s face as she obediently replied, “Yes. This servant will definitely be dedicated.”

Lan-er carried the bowl into the room and the smile on the female face faded away as she picked up the scissors that Lan-er left and slowly trimmed the flowers.

This female was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, Qing Feng finally remembered. When she just entered the Palace, together with Fu Ling, this female served her a day and during that time she was noisy and her mind could be easily read. Now it seems that it was much calmer. As Qing Feng was thinking, Lan-er had already entered the house and spoke softly behind the screen, “Your Ladys.h.i.+p, it is hot and dry during the autumn, this servant brought you lily and white fungus soup. Please try.”

“Come in.”

Lan-er brought the porcelain bowl into the inner chambers. Facing this mistress, she was only trying to please her but was also afraid of her.

“En, the taste is not bad.” Qing Feng only tasted a mouthful and did not continue eating. She asked a seemingly random question, “What time is it?”

“Replying your Ladys.h.i.+p, it is now Yous.h.i.+ (modern timing: 5 – 7 pm) and three quarters.”

Yous.h.i.+ (modern timing: 5 – 7 pm) and three quarters… Why was Fu Ling not back yet? “Withdraw.” Qing Feng’s heart was like a boat, drifting in the sea. She did not do anything today but felt very tired. Was this the feeling of a weary heart?

After don’t know how long, long enough that Qing Feng thought that it fallen through and was exposed, Fu Ling finally returned.

“Mistress.”

Seeing Fu Ling normal face, Qing Feng felt that it should have gone fairly smoothly but still asked, “How was it?”

“The stuff have been handed over to Lou Furen and the seal has been returned.” Fu Ling thought about the episode that happened at the Palace gates and decided not to speak about it as Mistress looks tired and she should not bother her with these small issues.

Seeing that the sky was getting later, Fu Ling was just about to exit to call for the dinner when a small cooling hand reached out and stopped her. Fu Ling look at Qing Feng puzzled and only heard her weak voice replying, “Don’t go anywhere, just stay by my side.”

Whether it was successful or not, it would soon be known. Even if it was accomplished or not, with Yan Hong Tian’s wisdom, he would definately know that this matter involved her. This night would be harder to pa.s.s.
