However, Yin Su felt that she had always been wandering outside, while his heart was outside while he had returned to the palace. It was unknown when he would get angry for some unknown reason.

Inside six clear palaces, all of the eunuchs and maids were treading on thin ice, working everyday without making any sound, trembling with fear that if they were careless, they would bring about a calamity upon themselves. He even treated this Imperial Concubine Xi as a ferocious beast that could take their lives at any time. Outside of six clear palaces, she was even rumored to be a heartless and venomous Empress. Currently, she held the favor of the Emperor and was committing crimes and crimes, but there would come a day when she would be beaten into a cold palace by the Emperor as she was in the past.

”Good morning, Imperial Concubine Xi.”

”You've worked hard.”

The suppression he had felt after entering the palace for the past few days finally had a sliver of comfort when he saw Die Ye.

Is this what fortune and misfortune are all about? She had lost her freedom in exchange for a Die Ye who could let her feel at ease. After everyone had left and she was happy, she said with a bit of worry,

”The palace is very dangerous, why are you here?”

Die Ye was still the same as before, not being friendly, but she replied respectfully.

”Protecting you is a mission given to you by the Young Lord, it is my duty.”

Hearing her mention Ye Lie, Xi Xi Xi's eyes grew slightly hot. Xuan Yelie had always been this kind of person, protecting her wherever he could. When she was young, she fought with her father all the way to Xuan Kingdom, where she was captured and imprisoned in a dilapidated room. Tian Tian couldn't answer and cried for two days before calming down.

At that time, Ye Lie, who was also a child, stood outside the window and looked at her as he asked.

”How can you cry so much?”

”Who are you?” This was the first person she saw after being locked up.

”Here, this is for you to eat.” At that time, Ye Lie did not reply, but threw two steamed buns in.

In the next few days, when it was noon, Ye Lie went to the window and threw some delicious food to her and chatted with her.

After that, her father agreed to Xuan Kingdom's request and allowed her freedom. It was Ye Lie himself who opened the door for her and let her out. The two of them even bid farewell reluctantly, hand in hand.

The war between the entire dynasty and the Xuan Kingdom at the border never stopped. Every year, when General Zhen went out to fight, he would still bring Xi Xi Xi to the military camp to play with Ye Lie. At that time, the two of them were still young and did not understand the war between the two countries.

Ye Lie rode a horse and shot arrows, he was proficient in astronomy and geography, but he had an elegant look that made him seem like he could fight against the world. He taught her how to ride, and at that time, she was even better than her brother Zhen Liuzheng at horse riding. He would also teach her how to look at the stars, how to determine the direction. He was not much older, but he took care of her like an elder brother, year after year. Even back then when she was imprisoned in Six Pools Palace, Ye Lie would take the risk to secretly visit her.

It was just that after she had returned from the modern world to this world, Ye Lie had never appeared again. she asked.

”Is he all right? Die Ye, I want to see him. ”

However, there was also one more thing. It was regarding her returning to this world. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that all of the crucial points might be with Ye Lie. He was the Master Wu Xuan that guided her from Lhasa. Only by seeing Ye Lie would she be able to truly confirm this problem.

”Now that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Xuan Kingdom is about to begin, it would be inconvenient for the young master to appear in the Ming Dynasty.”

Shuixi didn't continue with this topic and told Die Ye to continue.

”You must be careful while you're in the palace. Also, don't bring the Chinese viola flower with you, and even more so don't use the Chinese viola flower's fragrance, so as to not arouse suspicion.”

”Alright, thank you Imperial Concubine Xi for your reminder.”

”Go back and rest first. In six clear palaces, you and I do not need to be master and servant. Thank you, Die Ye. ”

Die Ye did not speak anymore, and left the six clear palaces.

Die Ye even risked her life to go to the palace to take care of her. When she thought of this, an extremely important information suddenly flashed through her mind. An information that she had forgotten for a long time, was actually her brother Zhen Liuzheng. She had seen her brother with the First Prince in the Jadeite Garden, and they were very close. She had also heard that the First Prince's supporters had always been hiding their snobbery, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move. Back then, after Yin Su had obtained the throne, he had killed all of the First Prince's old subjects without leaving any room for negotiation. These old subjects and their families all harbored deep grudges, wanting to reinstate them. She was afraid that her brother Zhen Liuzheng had also been brainwashed.

Thinking of this, she wanted to find an opportunity to return to the Zhen Mansion and have a good talk with her brother. With her train of thoughts, Die Ye reported from the entrance that Gu Shen was here to visit.

She did not have much time to think, and quickly got up to welcome him, but Gu Shen had already walked in, and directly sat himself in the middle of the hall, and coldly looked at Zhen Liuxi.

Shuixi also didn't say much, and took the initiative to sit in a nearby chair, waiting for Xin Fei to speak. He wanted to know the purpose of her visit.

The Xin Fei looked at him coldly for a long time before he finally opened his mouth to speak …

”Imperial Concubine Xi? What a great Imperial Concubine Xi! ” Her tone was filled with contempt. Suddenly, she said in a cold voice …
