Time seemed to have stopped. They looked at each other for an unknown amount of time.
"Who let you in?" A certain someone frowned and asked with a livid face.
"It's not their fault. I forced myself in.”Seeing his unhappy expression, Silver Frost forgot his etiquette and hurriedly took responsibility for the matter, afraid that he would implicate others.
"…" He stared at her in surprise, a little impressed by her courage. If it were anyone else, they would have pushed the responsibility to others.
"…" She looked at his expressionless face and slowly lowered her head.
"Why did you have to come in?" He thought to himself, Is she trying to steal the map of the palace?
"Look for this." She pointed at the bookshelf beside her.
"Travel notes?" He was a little surprised. Her answer was so different from what he had expected that he did not quite believe it.
"Yes." She raised her head and nodded lightly.
"Why do you suddenly want to see it?" he asked, puzzled.
"It's not sudden. It's a habit." She replied with a faint smile.
"…" Looking at her innocent smile, he couldn't help but suspect that he was overthinking.
Perhaps she was not a spy at all, but a woman who had married far away to form an alliance. But…could he believe that?
Other than paying her respects to the Empress Dowager, she rarely stepped out of the Phoenix Palace. When he passed by her palace, he would always see the thick layer of snow that covered the entire courtyard, leaving only a straight path leading to the palace.
"I've finished reading all the books in Ziyue Kingdom's library, but I especially like reading travel notes. I really want to travel all the famous mountains and rivers in the world one day.”The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her eyes were filled with endless yearning.
"You never left the palace?" Ling Xiang walked in front of her, and with the help of the moonlight shining through the window, his gaze locked onto her face.
"No, I haven't." Suddenly, his bright eyes dimmed.
She had lived in the palace for a long time and had never gone out. The palace rules also stipulated that she could not go out casually unless there was a legitimate reason. Therefore, every time Jin Xiu and Ruyi came back from outside, they would tell her about the towns they passed by on their way to work, how beautiful they were, and the interesting things they encountered on the way.
As time passed, she received an edict from her father, requesting that she could freely enter and exit the palace's library. After that, she read a lot of books about local sceneries, but the only thing she was not satisfied with was that she could not experience it herself.
"When spring comes, I'll leave the palace to secretly visit the people for a month. Why don't you come with me to take a look?”He couldn't bear to see her lonely look, so he blurted out a secret that few people should know.
"Is it really possible?" She hugged his arm happily.
"Yes." This childish action caused ripples in his heart.
"Thank you!" Silver Frost put down his hand and stood in front of him. He opened his arms and gave him a hug.
Then, he took at least ten books from the bookcase and handed them to her, saying that she could return them to him whenever she wanted. Finally, the two of them walked out of the library together.
Because they didn't take the same path back to the palace, they split up outside the library. Murong Lingxiang brought Ming De to walk on a small path in the distance.
His hands were crossed behind his back, and his bright yellow robe fluttered in the wind in the night. His black shoulder-length hair was casually tied up in half, and the jade pendant on his waist swayed left and right as he walked. His entire body emitted the aura of a leader.
"Mingde, have you arranged everything?" His cold voice was like a demon from hell.
"Yes, if they make any movements, the scouts will immediately return to report.”Ming De said as he looked at his back.
"Very good." His handsome face was expressionless.
" Then the Empress…" Ming De hesitated.
"Don't worry, just do as I say.”His tall body paused for a moment.
Her figure appeared in his mind. He shook his head and threw away those feelings that he shouldn't have. He forced himself to hold up a face that didn't have any emotions and continued to maintain his pride.
