"Mhm, you may leave!" Lan Yue replied casually.
The young eunuch bent his back slightly and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he quickly left.
Lan Yue stood there for a long time before she regained her composure. She slowly pushed open the tightly shut red wooden door and walked in.
Lan Yue looked at the beautiful scenery that had suddenly appeared in front of her in shock. Was this really a forbidden area of the Imperial Palace? Why did she feel that she had accidentally entered the Immortal Land?
There were pink petals everywhere, flowers that she could not name. In the depths of the sea of flowers, there were dream-like pavilions, tall mountains, thin water, and smoke. There was a faint path leading to the depths under her feet. If it was not for this path, she would have turned around and left. This place was too beautiful, so beautiful that she, a mortal, did not dare to step foot!
She had thought that the forbidden area would be extremely desolate, but she had never thought that it would be like this. This kind of scenery should not have appeared here. The Imperial Palace was a rich and vulgar place. Although it was under the feet of the emperor, it was full of schemes. Such an untainted scenery should have been far away from dust...
Lan Yue carefully walked into the depths, as if she would destroy this place or disappear if she was not careful...
At this moment, she no longer had the mood to look for the object that interested her. She only wanted to take a good rest in this fairyland.
Just as she was deeply attracted by this fairyland, a pleasant zither sound came from the depths...
Lan Yue stopped in her tracks and listened carefully to the extremely melodious zither music. Unknowingly, she had actually followed the zither music and walked deeper into the depths…
Lan Yue didn't know how long she had been walking. She felt that she was getting closer and closer to the zither, clearer and more mesmerizing…
"Who is it? How dare you trespass into the Imperial House? Aren't you afraid of being dragged out and executed?”Just as Lan Yue was deeply attracted by the zither music and was walking towards a steaming waterside pavilion not far away, the beautiful zither music suddenly stopped and a voice that was like the sound of nature was heard.
Lan Yue stood rooted to the ground in shock. She only regained her senses after a while. She looked at the white figure in the depths of the waterside pavilion and said,"I didn't mean to disturb you, but this zither music is really beautiful, so I was attracted here. If I disturbed you, I hope you can forgive me!”
At this moment, it was as if she hadn't heard what the woman in the waterside pavilion had said at all. She only felt that she had disturbed the woman in the waterside pavilion, which was why the woman was angry at her. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten that this was the imperial palace, a forbidden area!
" You're not from this palace?!" It was not a question but a certainty. The white-robed woman in the waterside pavilion slowly stood up and walked towards Lan Yue.
"Who did you enter the palace with?" The white-robed woman looked at the woman in front of her and asked softly. She looked as if she was afraid of scaring Lan Yue.
When she asked this question, she had already guessed the identity of the woman in front of her. However, she wanted to get an answer from this woman.
"So beautiful! You, are you a fairy who flew down from the sky?”Lan Yue seemed to not have heard what the woman said at all. She looked at the fairy who had appeared in front of her without answering the question.
This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful person. The word 'beautiful' could not describe her at all. The woman in front of her was like a fairy who was not tainted by the mortal world. The inviolable aura on her body made her not dare to offend her.
The woman standing in front of Lan Yue could not help but chuckle when she heard Lan Yue's words."You little girl, you're quite interesting! You came with Chen 'er, right? Didn't Chen 'er tell you that this was a forbidden area?”
For some reason, she felt a sense of closeness when she saw this delicate and pretty woman standing in front of her. She liked the woman in front of her very much!
"Chen 'er? Who was Chen 'er? Sister Fairy was not only beautiful, but her music was also very pleasant. Yue 'er had never heard such a beautiful song before!”Lan Yue looked at the woman in front of her and bowed slightly.
"What, you don't even know your own husband's name?”The woman reached out a hand and caressed Lan Yue's cheek as she said dotingly.
Lan Yue allowed the woman in front of her to touch her cheek."Husband? Sister Fairy is talking about the Eldest Prince?" Lan Yue paused for a moment and said,"Sister Fairy, you call His Highness Chen 'er…Could it be that you and that sickly man are lovers?"”
Lan Yue looked at the woman who was not much older than her and felt that what she said was reasonable. This was a forbidden area of the palace. Outsiders definitely could not enter. Only those who were trapped here would not be punished. In that case, this woman must have fallen in love with that sickly person. Then, for some reason, she was trapped here and the king married her…
"Sister Fairy, don't worry, I won't fight with you. My marriage with His Highness is just a temporary measure. After a while, I'll ask him to divorce me and marry you! What do you think?" Lan Yue hurriedly shook her head and said," No, no, Sister Fairy, you can't marry His Highness. His Highness is now a sickly man. If you marry him, it will be me who harmed you. His Highness usually has difficulty walking. If you marry him, he will suddenly die. Wouldn't you be a widow…"
The woman in white removed her hand from Lan Yue's face."You have a good heart, bengong likes kind hearted women!”"Perhaps you will be the one to untie Chen 'er's knot, and perhaps I will have to rely on you in the future!"”
She did not try to defend herself but said these words. She had returned this time to see what kind of woman Xie Yunchen had married. Now that she saw her, her heart felt much more at ease.
"What is Sister Fairy talking about? Why don't I understand?" "Forget it. I don't care if I understand you or not. I'm going to advise you not to marry the First Prince…" Lan Yue paused.
Before Lan Yue could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Xie Yunchen who came from afar,"Lan Yue! How could you be so bold as to barge into the forbidden palace! Do you know that trespassing into the forbidden palace is a capital offense?”Xie Yunchen frowned as he looked at Lan Yue, who was not far away from him.
He never expected Lan Yue to come here. After he finished his discussion with the Emperor in the royal study, he rushed straight to where she was, but he missed!
He asked the servant who was waiting at the side and found out that the woman was bored and left first. At first, he didn't think much of it. The palace was so big that it didn't matter if he walked around casually. He didn't rush to find her, but he didn't expect this woman to barge in here!
If it wasn't for the fact that he and the Emperor had gone to the Imperial Garden to see his Imperial Father alone, and found out that his Imperial Mother's daughter had come here, how could they have come here with his Imperial Father?
If he had arrived a little later, he really did not dare to imagine if Lan Yue would have died in the hands of that woman!
"Chen 'er actually cares so much about his own wangfei that even bengong has never seen it!”The white-robed woman looked at the group of people not far away and said.
"Your son pays his respects to mother.”Xie Yunchen walked to Lan Yue's side and pulled her behind him. Then, he knelt down in front of the woman in white.
Xie Yunchen's call of 'mother' completely stunned Lan Yue, who was standing behind Xie Yunchen. She had never expected that this fairy-like woman who was not tainted by the mortal world would actually be Xie Yunchen's mother, the empress dowager of the current dynasty.
She had thought that the empress dowager would be an older and dignified woman, but the woman in front of her was clearly not much older than her. Her red hair was tied up behind her head with a belt, and her white clothes were not stained with dust. This appearance was too different from the empress dowager she had imagined.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and greet mother!" Xie Yunchen could not help but urge when he saw that the woman behind him did not move.
He really wished he could tear Lan Yue's brain apart and see what was inside. It was fine if she was fooling around normally, but she dared to be so bold today. She barged into the forbidden palace and coincidentally met his mother. If his mother was unhappy, this woman would not be able to live! Did she really think that her life was too long?
" Oh…" Lan Yue came back to her senses and hurriedly knelt down."This official's daughter Lan Yue pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. This official's daughter did not know that you were the Empress Dowager.”
At this moment, she wished she could bite her tongue off. What nonsense had she just spouted? Sister Fairy? Persuade the empress dowager not to marry Xie Yunchen?
This wasn't the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing was that she actually said that Xie Yunchen wouldn't live for long! She actually said in front of a mother that her son would not live long. How big of a sin was this? She hoped that the empress dowager in front of her would not punish her…
At this moment, Lan Yue seemed to have completely forgotten about her trespassing into the forbidden area. If the woman in white wanted to punish her, it would not be as simple as just punishing her. She would lose her life here!
"Yue 'er is insensible and contradicts mother. Mother, please don't blame her. She trespassed into the forbidden area for fun. It's her first time entering the palace and she doesn't know that this is a forbidden area.”Xie Yunchen said with a straight face.
The only thing he had to do now was to plead for Lan Yue and save her life! Although he did not have much contact with Lan Yue and they did not have any feelings for each other, she was still his wife who had only been married for two days. If he were to throw his life away in the palace like this, not only would he lose face, but he would also be in trouble for Lan Ao. No matter what, nothing must happen to this woman!
The white-robed woman looked at Xie Yunchen who was kneeling on the ground with an extremely pale face and an extremely solemn expression. Her heart could not help but ache. She slowly stepped forward to help Xie Yunchen up and said,"Chen 'er has grown up, and even your etiquette has become more thoughtful. If it was any other day, you would not be so polite when you see this prince. However, for some reason…this prince feels that you are becoming more and more distant from this prince!”
The woman in white stretched out her hand and tidied Xie Yunchen's hair.""If not for your body, you would definitely be a very handsome man. It's mother who has let you down!”
