The three of them were shocked. Could it be that Peony's words were heard by the people outside? To insult an emperor is to kill the head.
The eight guards with sabers stood by the door like eight wooden stakes. At this time, another person slowly walked in from outside the door. The three of them looked closely and saw that it was Bai Lan. He seemed to have changed a lot. He was less arrogant and more calm. His hair was tied up in a golden crown, and his white robe fluttered in the wind. A faint smile hung on his handsome face, an unfathomable smile.
Leng Qiyue was the first to stand up and rush over, ”Bai Lan, are you alright?”
Bai Lan nodded with a smile, but took a step back to avoid Leng Qiyue's hand. She politely bowed and said, ”Empress, please return to the palace.”
Leng Qiyue's extended hand froze in midair, his estrangement deeply stabbing at her heart.
”Bai Lan, you …” Leng Qiyue opened her mouth, but didn't know how to ask.
Bai Lan stood up and said, ”Empress, the past is over.”
Leng Qiyue's eyes dimmed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. Was she that greedy? Enjoying Bai Lan's love and love, yet unable to do anything for him. This time, it was because of him that Bai Lan was in trouble. Furthermore, she nearly died. Since the other party had revived, why would he think that there was anything wrong with a normal life? But why … My heart hurts … Painful...
Seeing that Leng Qiyue was crying, Peony immediately slammed the table and stood up, cursing, ”Bai Lan, you heartless bastard …”
Leng Qiyue raised her head, interrupting her with a pear-filled smile, ”Peony, Bai Lan is innocent. You shouldn't have scolded him like that. ”Alright, I'll head back to the palace.”
Peony was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Han Ruoxue hurriedly patted her back to catch her breath.
Leng Qiyue wiped her tears away and walked out. The past was over, the past was over … Were they really gone?
Bai Lan had a calm smile on his face, his eyes calm. Had he really put it all down?
Arriving at the palace gate, Leng Qiyue took a deep breath, still pretending to be a palace maid, and entered. Bai Lan did not follow them, but instead led them to the other side. Her steps were calm and graceful … Or emotionless …
Leng Qiyue gave a self-deprecating smile. She had no right to be sad. She already had a man like Dongfang Haotian, and she had never promised Bai Lan either. Therefore, she warned herself that she had no right to be sad.
Returning to the Moon Flower Hall, Leng Qiyue climbed over the wall to get in, and Die really obediently slept on the bed. She cleaned herself up and went out into the yard to sit down in a daze. Han Liu brought the tea and snacks over and said, ”The Empress has returned.”
Leng Qiyue raised her head and asked in astonishment, ”How did you know I was going to go out?”
Han Liu smiled and replied, ”Although this servant hasn't been following the Empress for long, this servant has seen every move of the Empress's. ”Although she can change, her eyes can't be deceiving.”
Leng Qiyue stared at Han Liu and suddenly realized how powerful she was.
Han Liu smiled faintly. ”Empress, you need not suspect this servant. This servant truly treats the Empress with respect. I only hope that esteemed wangfei will inform this servant in the future so as to not expose me.”
”Mm, got it.” Leng Qiyue's heart was in a mess, she didn't want to add to her worries. I'll tell you in the future. I want to be quiet now. ”
Han Liu obediently retreated, leaving only Leng Qiyue in the courtyard. She listened to the rustling of the leaves in the wind and suddenly wanted to go back to modern times. However, she no longer had the chance. From now on, this palace was her home, and Dongfang Haotian was her backer …
”Mother …” Niu Jun hobbled over to hug Leng Qiyue's thigh. A smile was plastered on her delicate face.
Leng Qiyue held him in her arms and smiled. ”Niu Jun, you want to be Crown Prince?”
His eyes were wide, and he didn't know what she was talking about.
