C162 Fear

Thinking about that, the worry in her heart increased again. An Rou only felt as if her entire body suddenly lost all of its strength, and could only watch as Qian Li and the rest left without being able to do anything.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, her body softened. She sat down on the ground. Thankfully, there were too many palace maids around her, so she was not really allowed to sit on the ground.

"Empress, Empress, what's wrong?"

An Rou's forehead immediately had beads of sweat dripping down, the pale look on her face was truly worrisome. Pain. My stomach, my stomach, my child … "

She was already tongue-tied. One of her hands was tightly covering her stomach. Although the words that came out didn't fit the bill, at least she had said them out loud.

The people around were extremely anxious, looking at the blood that was flowing out from An Rou's lower body, the timid ones were crying in fear.

"Empress, what's wrong with Empress?"

The commotion around her instantly drowned out An Rou's insignificant voice. Fortunately, the big servant girls beside her were calm enough, she pointed at the few palace maids and ordered, "I'm afraid the Empress is about to give birth, we need to split up, you, quickly go to the Imperial Physician's courtyard and ask the Imperial Physician, you, quickly tell the emperor, and you, return to the to prepare everything. All of you, come with me to escort the Empress back to the palace."

After saying that, everyone started to move quickly, Qian Li only heard countless of shouts, but she did not turn her head back.

After arriving at the Weiyang Palace, that familiar yet unfamiliar feeling attacked him yet again.

"Princess, His Majesty said that you must be tired today. The palace rules will be learned from tomorrow onwards, and today, the princess can familiarize herself with the environment, or go to the imperial garden to take a look. In addition, if there is anything else you aren't prepared for, or if there is anything else you need, feel free to tell your servant.

Qian Li nodded and smiled, "I got it, thank you elder."

The young eunuch had already entered the palace since a very young age. He had always been a servant from the start, and in all these years, no one had ever placed him in their eyes, not to mention someone of status like the imperial concubine emperor. Even a little maid, a genius, would only order him around like a dog.

From start to finish, he had never received any form of respect, let alone words of thanks, nor had he ever heard of such a thing.

Although the Qian Li in front of him did not have royal blood, she was still a princess after all, and her status was incomparably respected. Furthermore, looking at how the Emperor treated this girl, he would most likely have a bright future for her, but she … She actually said thank you to him.

For a time, the eunuch was so excited that he could barely speak. His eyes were on the verge of tears as he said, "Princess really is a servant of the Heaven's Punishment. This is what this servant should do."

Qian Li was still smiling, without any arrogance at all. She had even helped him up, "What's your name?"

"Little Li."

"Little Li …" "Hmm, in the future when I'm at the Imperial Palace, will the eunuch in the palace be you?"

Little Plum nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. The Emperor said that if the princess needs anything in the future, she can find a servant at any time."

"Qian Li has lived outside since she was young, her personality is unavoidably strange, if there's anything she did wrong, please take care of it, Young Master."

"Aiya, to have the chance to serve the princess is my fortune for three lifetimes, don't say such words again, princess." "Servant, servant …"

"Alright, you don't have to always kneel. From now on, when you are in this palace, I will be the one to do your own thing, because the people around me are my family, so there is no need for me to follow so many rules. Of course, if you are outside, I will follow your rules if I do not want to provoke criticism."

Although Qian Li's words did not contain much content, they had completely subdued the young eunuch.

In fact, it was only because Qian Li was sure of the eunuch's personality that she said that.

Now that things had progressed as he had expected, he felt a little happy.

However, most of it was melancholy.

If she couldn't, she only hoped that it would be good to be able to stay by his side. But unfortunately, she didn't have the heart to be at peace with herself when she met others, and when she died, she also vowed that she would not be involved in anything else other than revenge, but she had forgotten that from the moment she stepped into the Duke Palaces, from the moment she first spoke to the few consorts of princesses, everything had been predestined to happen.

There were many things that she could neither resist nor change.

There were many people that she didn't care about, but others might not let him off the hook.

For many people, it wasn't that she was lenient towards others, but that others would be softhearted towards her as well.

It was true that she only had one life, and if she died, she would die. However, because of her own indisputability, she didn't want to suffer the pain of letting the people around her die one by one.

However, now that she was forced to bring the Mo siblings and Xi Lan to her side, there were some things that she had to consider as well.

She wanted them alive. They were the few family members she had left so far.

"Princess …"

The eunuch's words pulled Qian Li back from her thoughts. Qian Li smiled, but she maintained her innocent look, and said, "Rest assured Little Li, although I may not have too much wealth by my side, but as long as I have the ability, I will definitely not let anyone bully you."

As if fearing that Xiao Li would say more provocative words, Qian Li immediately ordered, "Xiao Li, I've just arrived at the palace, so I don't understand the etiquette of the palace, and I don't know if there are any strange rules for eating, but I'm really hungry right now, and we don't know about other people, so can I trouble you to get us some food first? After we're done eating, will you tell me more about the things I need to pay attention to so far? "

Xiao Li had never met such a kind master before, and before this, he hadshelways been behind Liu Xi doing things, but because she was wooden, she did not like Liu Xi, so she always did some insignificant things, and never served a real master. The reason why she was sent to serve Qian Li was because the eunuch who brought tea for the emperor was having a stomachache nearby, and when she went to the Imperial Study, she saw that the emperor and Liu Xi were discussing who would serve Qian Li, and he did not know why, but Liu Xi, who was usually very steady and thoughtful, actually allowed him to go.

The emperor saw that there were no objections, he only said that Liu Xi would arrange everything for him …

He hadn't thought that he would be able to gain such a great deal out of this mistake.

He was worried that all of this was just a dream because he didn't know what had happened ever since he mentioned it. He thought that it was all because of him, but he never thought that Liu Xi would actually personally come to find him last night.

"The princess will be entering the palace tomorrow, and you will be the father-in-law of the Weiyang Palace in the future. Of course, the princess has a strange personality, I will personally visit you tomorrow when she arrives, if you like her, you can stay, but if you don't like her, I can just reshuffle my arrangements."

"Weiyang Palace?"

At that moment, he had thought that he had misheard. After all, ever since the empress died, her Weiyang Palace had always been empty. Furthermore, even though there were people who did not clean up regularly, no one dared to approach her at night. Therefore, no one was willing to come here and serve. It was also at this moment that he realized that it was not an accident that he had been chosen, but rather that his father-in-law did not get sick and had heard of something beforehand so he could be used as a shield.

"Why? Are you not going?"

Xiao Li resisted in her heart, but after thinking that this might be her only chance to make it out, she agreed. Moreover, he didn't dare to disobey Liu Xi's orders.

And also …

Liu Xi said that Qian Li's temper was eccentric, so she was actually always on tenterhooks today. But right now, Qian Li was not that kind of person at all, maybe even kind.

"Yes, your servant will go now. Princess, please wait for a moment."

What Qian Li did not know was that with just a few simple words, she had already subdued Little Li's heart completely, to the point that she did not even expect something like that to happen.

"Princess, this servant has always had a question."

"Just say it directly when you have something to say. Also, when there's no one around, no matter how we used to get along with each other, in the future, we'll also get along as much as we can, so there's no need to change anything."

"Yes." Hearing that, the two people behind her were happy, they had been tensed up and could not endure it, but now that Qian Li said that, they immediately loosened their bodies.

Xi Lan moved about for a bit before opening her mouth, "I wanted to ask, why did you call me by my name? What was even more unexpected was that the imperial concubine seemed to be very afraid of the name of Xiao Lan, but why was that so? Also, they seem to be very afraid of Weiyang Palace. Could it be that there is something extremely terrifying inside this palace? Why did everyone's faces change when they heard this … "What about the look of fear?"
