Leng Qiyue received the jade talisman. She curiously took the box and opened it. Upon seeing it, her face immediately turned pale.

"Esteemed Empress, look …"

Leng Qiyue received the box and looked at it, her expression becoming unnatural. There was actually a jade seal in the box, a square white jade seat, and on it was carved a life-like phoenix. The phoenix had a jade ruyi in its mouth, and this jade seal was actually exactly the same as the phoenix seal she had made up.

This thing was truly something that could not be seen. Just when he was about to forget about it, it actually appeared on its own.

"Xiao Jin, where did this thing come from?" Leng Qiyue asked.

Xiao Jin danced as he gestured. Leng Qiyue looked at him for a long time before saying dejectedly, "It's actually like this!"

Han Liu asked, "Empress, this should be the Phoenix Seal, right? Why aren't you happy?"

Leng Qiyue sighed. "How is this a phoenix imprint? It was left behind by the emperor."

Han Liu's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "The emperor still …?" "How is that possible? Right now, everyone is looking for the Phoenix Seal, so how could the Emperor throw it away when he found it?"

Leng Qiyue sighed and said, "It's fake."

Han Liu was shocked again, but this time she could not speak.

Leng Qiyue patted Xiao Jin's head. "Thank you."

Xiao Jin ran away happily while squeaking.

Leng Qiyue pulled at Han Liu and said, "Let's go. We still have to make a trip to see the Emperor."

Han Liu hastened to say, "Empress, it's late at night. Your majesty must have gone to bed."

Leng Qiyue nodded. In fact, how could she not know that it was late at night? She was only looking for an excuse to meet Dongfang Haotian, but she had already decided to accept reality. Forget it, who told him to fall in love with a monarch. Everything was for himself. It was better to go back and wash up before going to sleep.

After returning to her bedroom, Leng Qiyue took a hot bath and fell asleep. She woke up early the next morning, took her things, and rushed to the Wolong Palace. As a result, when he arrived at Sleeping Dragon Hall and found that Dongfang Haotian hadn't returned from Rong Fei's place, his stomach suddenly filled with pain and his eyes bulged …

As soon as Dongfang Haotian entered, he saw Leng Qiyue sitting there with red eyes and a frown. She hadn't even noticed when he had entered.

"Beloved concubine, did you suffer any grievances?" Dongfang Haotian dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs.

Leng Qiyue quickly wiped her eyes and put on a smile. "It's okay, I got the jade talisman. I'm preparing to leave the palace. Little Gold picked up this item. Does the Emperor recognize it? "

When Dongfang Haotian saw the box, he knew what was inside. He smiled and said: "This was originally an imitation by me. I left it for you to use as an emergency measure. That day, you pushed me over to another concubine's side and threw me away in a fit of anger. Let Little Gold pick it up? "

Leng Qiyue thought for a moment, then said, "The emperor is really far from here. He could actually throw it into the backyard of my sleeping quarters. I think you did it on purpose."

Dongfang Haotian embarrassedly smiled and said: "As long as you know. Why say it out loud. After all, I am the ruler of a country. Give me some face."

Leng Qiyue giggled. "Alright, the excuse is valid. When I leave the palace today, the empress dowager will definitely know that she won't touch me before obtaining the Phoenix Seal. As for Lin Fei …" It's hard for her to say. "

Dongfang Haotian nodded and said: "I already told Rong Fei to go and watch her. Don't worry, you should go early and come back early. No matter if Dong Fang Qi is willing to give up the Tiger Tally or not, you have to come back safe and sound, do you understand? "

Leng Qiyue felt Dongfang Haotian's care and concern, and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled and said, "Is this an order or is it a concern?"

Dongfang Haotian solemnly said, "It is an order, but it is also a matter of concern. If anything happens to you, everyone in your Moon Flower Hall will accompany you in death."

Leng Qiyue shivered. She knew that Dongfang Haotian wasn't joking, so she also solemnly said, "We will follow the imperial edict."

Just as she was about to pass by Dongfang Haotian, he suddenly grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her into his embrace. He tightly hugged her and said, "You must come back safely." These words were filled with warmth, instantly melting all the dissatisfaction in Leng Qiyue's heart.

Leng Qiyue nodded and said nothing. She walked out of the hall and glanced at the rising sun, her heart filled with fighting spirit. Regardless of the outcome, she had to work hard to move forward. If she did not work hard, a tragedy would happen immediately. Only through hard work could she laugh until the end.

Han Liu took two steps forward and asked, "Does Empress want to sit in a sedan chair?"

Just as Leng Qiyue was about to shake her head, she saw Deception chasing after her. Behind him were eight eunuchs carrying an imperial carriage.

"Imperial Concubine, please hold on …" "The old man is really old. He starts to pant as far as he can run." Empress, the Emperor has ordered a servant to bring you a carriage. "

Leng Qiyue glanced at the imperial carriage, and then looked at the person carrying the palanquin. She nodded and said, "I understand. Go back and tell the emperor that I will return quickly."

"Servant obeys." After seeing Leng Qiyue get into the carriage and leave the palace, he returned to report on his mission.

Leng Qiyue touched the imperial chariot, a bitter smile plastered on her face.

Han Liu asked, "Empress, the emperor really dotes on you. This servant hasn't seen any concubine leave the palace with an imperial carriage."

Leng Qiyue sighed and said, "I know that Your Majesty dotes on me, but you don't need to put on such a big show, do you? Actually, the Emperor has his own good intentions as well. "

Han Liu could not understand, so he asked, "Empress, this servant doesn't understand."

Leng Qiyue laughed, "One, with this imperial carriage, we can warn some people not to act rashly. Second, Dongfang Qi knew how much the emperor doted on me when he saw the emperor's carriage. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to do anything to me, unless he didn't want to live anymore. At most, he would find an excuse not to hand over the Tiger Tally. Three... The eight people who are carrying the imperial carriage all have unique skills, if there is any danger, they will definitely ensure my safety! "

Han Liu stuck out her tongue. "I didn't expect that there would be such a profound meaning behind it. Empress has improved once again."

Leng Qiyue smiled. "Stupid girl, are you looking for a beating?"

Han Liu also smiled. She didn't believe that Leng Qiyue would hit her.

The two chatted along the way, and when they arrived on the street, the imperial carriage attracted the eyes of the commoners. Leng Qiyue could only instruct the carriage bearers to avoid the crowd as much as possible, as she did not like being seen as a monkey.

Dongfang Xi's house wasn't very luxurious, but it also embodied the noble aura of a wealthy family. The two stone lions at the entrance of the gate were imposing enough. On the door, there was a signboard with four frames carved with bats and bamboo, meaning 'blessings'. The three golden words "Dongfang Residence" were vigorous and forceful. One could tell with a single glance that it was the work of Dongfang Haotian.

Han Liu walked up to the door and knocked a few times, then opened it with the old man in grey. Seeing Han Liu's extraordinary clothes, he looked at the imperial carriage, and asked with a face full of smiles: "Who is this lady? Are you here to look for my master? "

Han Liu said, "Old sir, please open the door. The Imperial Concubine would like to see your master."
