"Lian 'er, Ye' er!" I cried, gripping their hands tightly. Seeing their tears, my heart warmed. I gently wiped the tears from their faces and said,"Lian 'er, Ye' er, from now on, you two will stay by Noble Dong's side and serve him well. When you two are older, I will ask Noble Dong to send you out of the palace and find a good family for you to marry into. Then, I will be at ease…"
"Empress! Don't you want us anymore?" Ye 'er shook her head and cried. Lian' er also looked at me with tears in her eyes.
" No, I'm leaving the palace and will never come back. Lady Dong will be your master from now on. She will treat you well…" I explained.
"No, niangniang, we also want to leave the palace with you! I'll serve you forever!" Ye 'er hurriedly said.
"No!" I interrupted her,"I don't want you to suffer with me. You should stay by Noble Dong's side. We'll meet again in the future."”
"Empress! Please let us follow you!”Ye 'er cried even harder.
What should he do? They would suffer even more if they followed him. They were just children! Moreover, if I really bring them out of the palace and Ling Xiaoyi finds out, won't I implicate them?
No! Absolutely not!
I gritted my teeth and shouted," If you follow me, you will only cause trouble. It will only make it easier for the Emperor to find out. I don't want you to follow me. Stay by Noble Dong's side!"”
" Empress..." Ye 'er did not give up.
"Younger Sister, I am a little tired. Younger Sister should go back first. I will have to trouble Younger Sister to leave the palace. Small One, send the guest out!" I turned around and stopped looking at them.
"Farewell, sister. I'll come to see you again next time.”After saying that, Dong You left with Lian 'er and Ye' er, who were still crying. When she heard that there was no more sound outside the door, the tears that she had been holding back slowly fell from her eyes…
Lian 'er, Ye' er, I'm sorry…
After a long time, I wiped my tears and put on makeup again to cover my crying eyes.
Will everything get better? 'Ling Xiaoyi, you're the one who caused me so much pain. You're the one who made me so uncomfortable. Leaving you is definitely the best choice…'
In the blink of an eye, I had already stayed in the Cold Palace for five days. No one had come here, only the twenty-four of them had accompanied me…
"Second brother, pass it to me!"
"Little Eighth, here!"
I had nothing to do these days, so I taught them Cuju. Of course, there was no football here, so I had them find some branches and grass ropes to make the simplest ball to use as a football. The most important thing was the number of people. These beautiful and handsome men had just learned football, and everyone was eager to play. In the end, they could only play rock-paper-scissors.
I took out a stool and sat in the backyard. I was very happy to see the happy expressions on the faces of these young people.
"Miss, Miss, Eunuch Chen is here!”Xiao Si ran over and said. Behind him, Eunuch Chen walked over with a group of eunuchs.
What was he doing? Such a huge formation!
"Empress, receive the decree!"
Accept the decree? What was that bastard Ling Xiaoyi doing now?
"Long live the Emperor!" Everyone, kneel down with me.
"Three days later, the Ziyue Kingdom's Crown Prince will be on a diplomatic mission to my Guanyang Kingdom. I have specially ordered the Empress to stay in Chaofeng Palace and make careful preparations. Respect this!"
What was that? You want me to move back in?
Heh. I'm sorry, you told me to get lost. I did, but you told me to come back. I'm sorry! Get lost!
"I'm not going back!" I stood up and said.
"Could it be that the Empress wants to defy the imperial edict?" Eunuch Chen looked at the woman in front of him in shock. Concubines who were banished to the Cold Palace would have a hard time standing out. If a concubine was banished to the Cold Palace, she would definitely leave if she had the chance. Why was the Empress unwilling to leave the Cold Palace?
"It's fine if I defy the imperial edict, but I definitely won't return to Chao Feng Palace.”I replied.
"Empress niangniang, defying the imperial edict is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Could it be that niangniang isn't afraid of being punished by the emperor? The Empress is already guilty. If the Empress disobeys the imperial edict again, she will be beheaded!”Eunuch Chen urged.
"This Young Lady has made up her mind, and will never return to Chao Feng Palace!”I turned around and said firmly.
"Forgive this old servant for being bold!" Eunuch Chen bowed." Men, bring the Empress to Chaoyang Palace and listen to the Emperor!"”
"Yes, sir!" The young eunuch heard Eunuch Chen's words and immediately came forward.
"How dare you!" I said angrily. However, these people were simply infuriating. They still walked towards me.
I'm completely furious! Ling Xiaoyi, why should I listen to you! Thus, I struck first and beat them to the ground. In an instant, they cried out continuously, and those 24 people were also quite shocked.
" Empress, you…" Eunuch Chen said in shock.
"I won't send you off!" I turned around and walked towards the main hall, leaving Eunuch Chen stunned.
Chaoyang Palace.
"What?" Ling Xiaoyi was furious after hearing Eunuch Chen's reply. This Empress was getting bolder and bolder. Relying on his love for her, she had no regard for the law and ignored his existence. If this continued, how could he get away with it?
"Emperor, the dragon body is more important! The Empress is only like this because she has been wronged. Hasn't the Emperor already investigated the matter? If the Empress knew, she would definitely change her mind.”Eunuch Chen hurriedly said.
Yes, he had already sent people to investigate the truth of the matter, but would Yu 'er forgive him?
Ling Xiaoyi slowly paced back and forth. After he stood still, he ordered,""Imposing the Cold Palace!"
He must personally bring Yu-er back and give her justice! Thinking of this, Ling Xiaoyi quickened his pace.
"Miss, the emperor has already decreed for you to return to the palace, why aren't you leaving?”Everyone gathered around me and asked anxiously.
"I don't want to return to Chao Feng Palace anymore, I don't want to face the emperor. "Even if I go back, there's no point…" I lowered my eyes and smiled. This happened on my first day as the Empress. What about the future? He might even lose his life. I don't want to live in a life of scheming, just like the environment I grew up in. Although I'm used to it, I still hate living like that.
"Young miss…the emperor is already very good to you. There has never been a concubine who could come out after being banished to the cold palace!”Little Myna said.
"That's right, Miss. You've only been in the Cold Palace for seven days, and the Emperor has already issued a decree to bring Miss back to Chao Feng Palace. The Emperor must have found out the truth of the matter, and you should go back and clear your name!”Twenty said firmly.
What did he mean by only 7 days? It had been so long! When has this young lady ever been treated like this? Father treats me like the apple of his eye, and the bodyguards and servants at home are even better to me. Don't think that I'm afraid of you because you're the emperor!
"You're right. I should go back!" I made up my mind to stand up and say, hmph, even if I don't steam the mantou, I have to fight for my dignity! I must find Chu Daiyan and ask her what her intentions are!
"Miss, you've finally thought it through!"
"That's great!"
"Is there a need for that…I decided to return to Chao Feng Palace and you guys are so happy!”I said helplessly.
" Of course, Miss doesn't have to suffer here anymore…"
"The Emperor has arrived!" It was this high note again! This shout broke the friendly and harmonious conversation between master and servant.
Ling Xiaoyi quickly walked into the Cold Palace. Although he would watch her fall asleep on the roof every night before leaving, he still missed her and wanted to see her as soon as possible. So I quickened my pace
"Long live the Emperor!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Beloved Consort, rise!" Ling Xiaoyi said with a complicated expression.
Who is your beloved concubine, hmph!
I stood up and looked up at him…
He seemed to have slimmed down a little and had dark circles under his eyes. The golden dragon robe showed off his figure without any effort. Although he had slimmed down a little, it still could not hide his handsome face.
