Luoya knew the way to Anxi Palace. Because she admired Consort Zhuang, Luoya had specially inquired about the location of Anxi Palace while she was taking a walk. However, the road from the palace gate to Anxi Palace was really long. By the time Luoya finally reached the entrance of Anxi Palace, it had already been six hours and it was almost noon. She, who was already starving, could not care less about anything else. She only carried her messy palace dress and ran into Anxi Palace in one breath…
Before she could see who it was, Roya ran into it!
"Aiyo, who's the one who doesn't look at the road like a monkey!”A crisp sound rang in her ear. Before she could even look at him, her stomach had already growled a few times.
The person who came saw Loya clearly. She grabbed Loya's hand and said,"Ah Sheng! You're finally back. After the Empress knew that you were missing, she sent people to look for you for most of the night!”The pretty little palace maid held Roya's hand excitedly. Loya was stunned. Was it that similar?
" That..." Roya spoke in her real voice. She didn't know if her voice sounded like it, but she had to pass this test! She clenched her little fists tightly. Eh, why isn't she reacting? Does she think that I'm no different from the real Ah Sheng? This was good. Originally, Luo Ya was wondering if she should get a mask that looked no different from Ah Sheng's appearance. Now, it seemed that there was no need. After all, who in the palace would pay attention to a palace maid?
At this moment, her stomach grumbled a few more times. The girl from before finally seemed to have remembered something and said to Roya,"You haven't been back for a night. You probably haven't eaten anything, right? Quite a few words, follow me!" The girl held Roya's hand and walked in. For some reason, Roya felt a warmth in her heart. He had been here for almost half a year, and those people only treated him as Granny Li. They either flattered him or treated him as a subordinate. He had never seen this girl in front of him care about him so sincerely.
The hand that was being pulled could not help but exert a little strength. The girl stopped in her tracks and looked at Roya. Seeing that she looked weak, she thought that she was starving. Then, she smiled and comforted her,"It's okay. There'll be food in a while.”Loya was touched again. She looked up at the sky.'Lin Sheng, I'm sorry. I've taken your name and identity to live. I hope you can forgive me.'
After walking for a while, Luo Ya, who no longer had any strength, finally followed the palace maid to the small kitchen of Zhuang Fei. He didn't know her name, but he didn't know how to ask. Otherwise, he would have been exposed long ago!
Just as the girl was instructing the cook to prepare some delicious dishes, she suddenly heard Zhuang Fei's voice from behind."Zi Se, come out for a moment." Luo Ya immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the voice. The person standing outside the door was none other than Concubine Zhuang in her warm yellow palace dress. She was dressed differently today. Compared to her sage-like appearance in the past, she looked different today. Could it be that she went to see the Emperor today?
Upon seeing Luo Ya, a trace of surprise flashed across Concubine Zhuang's eyes, but it was quickly wiped away."Ah Sheng, where did you go last night?”Her voice carried her usual coldness.
Seeing her frown, Roya immediately knelt down.""This servant left on her own accord, I beg Your Highness to forgive her.”After saying that, he lied about how he had accidentally taken a small path and was accidentally entangled by vines for the entire night. Perhaps it was because the voices of 15 or 16-year-old girls were mostly the same, and his appearance was 50 or 60 percent similar to the real Ah Sheng. Uh…in their eyes, his appearance was no different! Therefore, Concubine Zhuang and the servant girl named Zi Se did not care too much about this.
Although Concubine Zhuang had a cold personality, she was kind. Seeing that Luoya was in a sorry state and was famished, he instructed Zi Se to let her take a bath and rest after eating. Seeing Concubine Zhuang's attitude, Luo Ya immediately thought that she was definitely not an ordinary palace maid. Otherwise, the loss of a palace maid in the palace was like the loss of a hair on a cow. How could she alarm the master?
In the future, he would have to be careful in his actions. He might be seen through by a meticulous person like Concubine Zhuang!
*****************
Zi Se was a very nice person. After Roya had eaten and drunk her fill, she insisted on accompanying him back to his room to rest. Seeing the room she was staying in, Luo Ya finally realized what she was thinking. Yes, she must be Concubine Zhuang's personal maid. Although this room wasn't luxurious, it was very good when compared to the treatment of servants. In the clean and spacious room, there were only two comfortable beds. Zi Se lay down on one of them without saying a word. Presumably, this was her bed.
It seemed that he was in the same room as Zi Se.
Thinking of this, Roya's mood improved greatly. Looking around, Roya smelled a refreshing scent. She was about to start her life anew! From today onwards, she had a new identity. Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng of Anxi Palace.
Sitting on " Ah Sheng's " bed, Luoya suddenly felt like a cockroach. Hehe, hehehe, a cockroach that can't be killed. This was pretty good, pretty good.
Just as Luo Ya was in a daze, Zi Se's voice was heard,""Ah Sheng, it's rare to have some free time today. Let's go out for a walk later.”Looking at Zi Se's attitude, she must be very close to Ah Sheng. Moreover, Luo Ya liked Zi Se at first sight.
"What if the Empress finds out?”Roya pretended to be worried.
Zi Se waved her hand righteously,""It won't happen! The Empress isn't going to the Smoke Appreciation Pavilion to play the zither today, have you forgotten? Sigh, I really can't stand you. You always look like a coward!”Loya was speechless. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
"Then where are we going?" Roya asked helplessly.
Who knew that Zi Se just smiled and said,"The old place!"”
Uh…God knows where this old place of yours is?
***************
Summer had the most flowers. Even though it was already the end of July and almost the end of summer, the flowers were still in full bloom. They did not care that the next moment would be the season that no longer belonged to them.
At this moment, Luo Ya and Zi Se were immersed in a sea of flowers.
Blue, purple, red, yellow, and white. The petals connected with each other, and the leaves covered a part of the flower, making the flower even more beautiful. Wherever it went, bees and butterflies lingered, and the fragrance spread.
He really didn't know how Zi Se and Ah Sheng found this place. This place seemed to be detached from the secular world, making people forget that they were in the imperial palace. Compared to the majestic palace, this place was like an oasis in the desert.
If he could live in such a place forever, even death would be worth it.
Roya was only thinking about it in her heart. She did not expect that she would actually say it out loud after thinking too deeply. Zi Se turned her head and looked straight into Luo Ya's eyes. That gaze seemed to see through her. Roya's heart trembled. Did she notice something wrong? Damn it, what nonsense!
However, Zi Se did not ask herself any strange questions like what Luo Ya had expected. Instead, she said to Ah Sheng with a rare sigh,""Lin Sheng, I know you once said that your family's matters brought you a lot of suffering when you were young. However, the truth was right in front of him, so there was no need to fantasize anymore.”
Luo Yazheng stood rooted to the ground, not understanding what Zi Se was talking about. However, she called Ah Sheng's full name, Lin Sheng. Looking at Zi Se's serious face, Loya knew that Zi Se must be talking about something serious. Was this related to Ah Sheng's background? Seeing that Roya did not speak, Zi Se grabbed her hand and said,""I know that last month you wanted to secretly leave the palace behind everyone's back. But Ah Sheng, why are you so silly? It's not like you don't know the rule that the daughter of a guilty minister is never allowed to leave the palace, so why do you have to be so stubborn? You didn't come back last night. Were you waiting in front of Nanhua Gate, waiting to sneak out of the palace?”Looking at Zi Se's expression, which seemed like she was trying to force a confession out of him, Roya did not know how to answer. She could only nod subconsciously.
Who knew that the moment he nodded, he would be smacked by Zi Se. It hurts, sister.
"You still dare to nod? How can you be so rash! Last time, if it wasn't for the Empress, you would have…" Zi Se had a look of disappointment." Ah Sheng, you're too much. You don't even care about the people who care about you!" " I know I didn't sleep last night because I was worried about you…" Zi Se's eyes turned red. It seemed that she really cared about Ah Sheng.
Luoya felt the softest part of her heart being touched. She felt both happy and painful. For a moment, Luoya actually hugged Zi Se. Other than that, she really did not know how to comfort Zi Se. Thinking about how lively and cheerful she was in Anxi Palace, it turned out that she was trying to hide her worries and not reveal them, afraid that everyone would suspect and see through them. That's right, leaving the palace privately was still a lie. Even if Concubine Zhuang could protect her first time, she could not protect her second time.
"Zi Se, don't worry. From now on, I won't do such a stupid thing again.”After a long while, Luo Ya slowly spoke. Her eyes and heart were filled with determination.
Although Luo Ya wanted to sigh again that she had met a dead body, she felt better when she thought about how she had met Zi Se and how she was Concubine Zhuang's maid. If you want to offend my daughter, you can offend my daughter. It's fine if you can leave the palace or not. At the very least, he was using his real body and appearance to show others. All in all, I can be considered to have seen the light of day, right?
Since he was already here, he should just take it as it was.
*************
When he returned to Anxi Palace, it was already evening. From Zi Se's tone, Luo Ya felt that they were very likely to be Concubine Zhuang's personal maids. Otherwise, why would Concubine Zhuang ask them to accompany her when she was playing the zither?
It had been a tiring day. Just as Roya was about to take a good rest, she heard an eleven or twelve-year-old palace maid outside saying,""I've heard that the old nanny in Handsome Fairness Mei's palace has died. She fell into a well!”When the surrounding palace maids heard this news, they were not too shocked. After all, it had nothing to do with them. However, they were more or less curious and wanted to hear more.
The palace maid continued,"It was just discovered. The medical officer judged that he died yesterday." She was probably old and accidentally fell.”
Who would have thought that just as the little palace maid finished speaking, someone else followed up,"With Handsome Fairness Mei's temper, she would definitely be furious if one of her close nannies died!”Upon hearing this, Loya's face darkened, and the corners of her lips that were originally slightly raised disappeared. Handsome Fairness Mei wouldn't make a mountain out of a molehill and think that it was someone like Handsome Fairness or Consort Zhen who wanted to harm her, right? If they were to cause a ruckus like this, what if everyone discovered that something was wrong with the corpse…Roya did not dare to continue thinking about it!
The little palace maid from before sighed and then whispered,"We all grew up in the palace. How can we not understand these things? What was she doing in such a secluded place? She must have known too much and was…" As she said this, the little palace maid put her hand on her neck and made a 'kill' gesture.
Loya didn't continue listening. Her heart, which had calmed down, was now in chaos. If this were to happen and everyone found out that Ah Sheng was the one who died, then wouldn't he, the imposter…
