The palace maid was obviously highly regarded. She was very surprised to be dismissed, but she had no choice but to leave.
Bi Ru looked at me blankly and didn't say anything.
"Bi Ru, I'm back."”
She fell to her knees with a thud, giving me a fright. I immediately helped her up."What are you doing! You are the Empress! She was the one and only empress who was the mother of the world! What's the point of kneeling down to me!"
" Miss…Miss Xia…" Her tears immediately gushed out." Miss, you're finally back. I…I really…"
I helped her sit down and sat beside her."Bi Ru, what's wrong? Did Li Xijue make you suffer? Or did Xuening make you suffer?"
" No." She shook her head while crying." No one bullied me. I…I'm thanking you…"
"Huh?" I didn't understand.”
" Miss, you don't know, but back then, my family had already arranged a marriage for me, a crippled man." She sobbed." If it wasn't for Miss's actions back then, I would still be a little palace maid in the palace now. When I was old enough, I would marry that man... Bi Ru has always wanted to thank you..."
Sigh, I accidentally did something good.
" Aiya, I didn't even know about these things. Back then, I just wanted to escape. I didn't think about you at all. It was because you served me and I knew you the best. One reason was that I didn't think you would harm the world, and the other was that I didn't have a choice back then…" He smiled slightly and poured her a glass of water." Drink some water. Don't cry. If you cry, your eyes will be swollen tomorrow morning."”
"Young lady…you didn't come back to marry the emperor, right?”She wiped her tears.
"If I wanted to marry him, I wouldn't have tried my best to escape back then.”He smiled.
"Then why is this girl doing this?" He met her confused gaze.
" I came back to take something back," he said slowly." I want the Purple Melting Jade.”
She turned pale with fright and immediately rejected me."You can't! Miss, you can't! The emperor had to see the Purple Melting Jade almost every day, there was no chance at all! And…" Her expression was evasive." I will also be…thrown into the cold palace because of this…"
He held her hand." Bi Ru, you're the only one who can help me now. You just have to tell me where the Purple Melting Jade is. When I go to get it, call Li Xijue over. That's enough!"”
"Miss Xia! What you said is enough for me to enter the Cold Palace!”She looked unwilling.
I was silent. After a long time, I couldn't speak. She didn't let me leave either. I just sat there quietly. I looked at her magnificent palace and knew that she wouldn't sacrifice those for me.
"Bi Ru, does the emperor treat you well?”
"Alright, but Bi Ru knows that it was only because young miss wanted Bi Ru to stay by his side that he helped me become the empress on account of young miss.”
"Then…did Xue Ning make things difficult for you?”
She smiled faintly." How would she dare? Ever since you left, the Emperor has never allowed Concubine Xue to get close to him. She is not favored, so she naturally does not dare to fight with anyone."”
"Then why won't others make it difficult for you?" This was indeed very strange. Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone to avoid the competition in the harem as long as they were in the palace.
"From the day I became the empress, the emperor protected me. No matter who it was, even if a concubine was pregnant with a dragon child, he would not let me suffer any losses.”
So good, just not me…
"Bi Ru, I'll come back tomorrow. Have a good rest."”
"Miss Xia, it's not that I don't want to help you…I…" She stood up as well.
He stopped her." Bi Ru, I know. You don't have to say anything. I'll think of another way. You don't have to send me off."”
She stood by the door and watched me walk out.
That palace maid didn't dare to give me a look at this moment, she lowered her head and watched me leave.
I turned my head and glanced at Bi Ru. Her current beauty came from Li Xijue's care for her. It was a joy that came from the bottom of my heart.
I have no right to take it away.
But if I don't look for her, how can I find the Purple Melting Jade? Do I really have to climb into Li Xijue's bed and sell myself out?
Shui Xuanyue asked me to think of a way to obtain the Purple Melting Jade after entering the palace and steal it out of the palace. He didn't expect Bi Ru to be unwilling to help me. She can't lose Li Xijue, the only pillar that can allow her to stand in the harem.
Lying on the bed, she was worried. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door."Who is it?" She got up and wrapped herself in the blanket.
The door was pushed open, and Jiang Qi walked in in white."Holy Master, Water Overlord was worried about you, so he asked me to come and take a look. Is Holy Master alright?"
This is simply saving my life! "Jiang Qi, the Empress is unwilling to help me. I have no other choice now! Ask Shui Xuanyue what I should do!”
He smiled," Holy Master, Water Tribal Lord said that all changes must be arranged by Holy Master. He has already gone to Yi Chang. I came here to wait for Holy Master to get the Purple Melting Jade and bring him out.”
Frowning…What should he do?
"Then how did you get in?"
"Holy Master, I am one of the leaders of the ghost soldiers.”He smiled. That's right, he was so powerful, how could he not enter?
"Are you going to rest here?" she asked, feeling bored.”It stuck its head out and looked at him.
He smiled and sat cross-legged on a warm couch at the side."I'll stay here for a while."
I shrank back into the tent, touched my hair, and thought about what to do tomorrow. There was no sound outside the tent. Perhaps she was asleep. I didn't dare to mess around with Jiang Qi outside, so I flipped the pancake.
"Miss Hongying, are you awake? The Empress has sent someone to look for you.”The palace maid pulled open the bed curtains, allowing the sun to shine in. The autumn light was very dazzling.
I sat up and saw that the palace maid had already opened up her outer coat. This red outer coat made me unhappy, but I still changed into it obediently.
One by one, the palace maids came in to bring water, rinse their mouths, wash their faces, and comb their hair.
A little girl combed my hair into a beautiful bun, adorned with a red agate headdress.
As the palace maid whom he had seen last night walked on the road, the sunlight shone on them and the autumn wind blew. It was warm as the group walked slowly.
She didn't see Jiang Qi just now, so she didn't know where he went.
He didn't have time to think and went to the Empress's bedroom. The Empress was standing at the entrance of her bedroom. When she saw me, she gestured for the people around to leave and pulled my hand into the room.
" Miss Xia, I've thought about it all night." Her determined expression made me see hope." Miss Xia, you stay in the capital, stay by the Emperor's side! She can't live without you!"
Collapse! I'm so angry that I can't even speak. If I wanted to stay, why would I take the risk back then?
" Pfft..." She suddenly covered her mouth and laughed." Miss Xia, I was just joking."”
"You scared me to death!" Aiyo, I can't stand being frightened! If you tell Li Xijue that it's summer, he'll think of a way to torture me!”
She smiled until her face turned red." Miss Xia, Bi Ru will never forget the kindness we owe her back then. Besides…Bi Ru's title is also a substitute minister…" As she spoke, her smile faded and became gentle." I'll stand by the Emperor's side in your place. With this opportunity, there's only a little I can do. That's to help you get the Purple Melting Jade."”
The joy was indescribable. My Empress! You're really too great!" Hug her!
" Miss Xia," Her gaze was gentle," the emperor will definitely come back to me tonight, and you can get the Purple Melting Jade. After you get it, take my token and leave."”
'Happy's mood was gradually replaced.' She wants me to take her token and leave, and things will soon fall apart. She'll definitely be banished to the Cold Palace and stay far away from Li Xijue…How can I do that? I'll use her happiness to fulfill my own wishes.'
"Bi Ru…"
"Don't say anymore. I've already decided.”She stood up and turned around, not looking at me.
I held her shoulders and made her look at me."Bi Ru, I'll go get the Purple Melting Jade and use your token to leave, but I won't let you live a lonely life.”
She looked at me in surprise.
"Get someone to serve me with a brush and ink." I sat down at the desk.
She asked the palace maid to arrange the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. The palace maid looked at me strangely and went down.
Bi Ru stood beside me and helped me grind the ink.
Li Xijue! I've tolerated you for a long time!
He actually made me wear a dancer's outfit! Let me carry a head full of gold! You took me away from Shui Xuanyue like an item! Let me pretend to be disgusting to please you!
Let me tell you! I'm leaving with the Purple Melting Jade now! Don't chase me!
If you really chase after me, I'll definitely let you see an ice-cold body! A corpse that would never wake up!
Treat Bi Ru well! When I gave her to you back then, you didn't even consider her feelings. You have to treat her well, better than anyone else!
From now on, you are Li Xijue! But Li Xijue!
Written by Summer
I folded the letter and placed it in Bi Ru's hands."Don't look at it. After I leave, give it to Li Xijue. He definitely won't make things difficult for you.”
"Miss Xia, I'm really…" She was so touched that she cried.
"Don't thank me. I'm just doing what I should do. You're willing to sacrifice the happiness of the rest of your life for me. What's the big deal of me writing a letter?”He watched as she hid the letter under her pillow.
" It's in the palace that Miss Xia used to live in. The Emperor would go there whenever he had nothing to do. Sometimes, he would even sleep there. The Purple Melted Jade is there." She pulled the token from her waist and stuffed it into my hand." After you get the Purple Melted Jade, leave quickly. Don't wait until dawn."”
Just as he walked out of the Empress's bedroom, he bumped into Li Xijue, who was walking over. He immediately squatted down and bowed. He walked over curiously."What are you doing here?"
