The Imperial Consort Lan cooked a few dishes, and each dish was Xu Heng's favorite. The two of them sat in the courtyard and ate while chatting.
"Are you going back to the palace today?" Xu Heng asked while eating.
"No, I will not reply. I will return tomorrow afternoon. When I came out, I had already told the Emperor." Imperial Consort Lan felt that every time she came out to tell the Emperor, he wouldn't be suspicious of her. On the contrary, if he wasn't told, he would definitely send someone to follow her secretly.
Imperial Consort Lan had always been the emperor's most beloved concubine. In all these years, she had never done anything to let the emperor down, so the emperor still trusted her quite a bit.
With his experience from the last time he came out, Xu Heng felt that it was nothing much this time, so he couldn't say it back. Xu Heng was also very happy in his heart, this way he could stay together with Imperial Consort Lan again.
"That's good." Xu Heng laughed.
"Xu Heng, do you like staying with me?" Imperial Consort Lan asked seriously.
"I like it. It was the same when I liked it in the past." Xu Heng had never forgotten about Imperial Consort Lan in all these years. Besides him, he no longer liked anyone else.
"Then why don't we stay together a lot?" Imperial Consort Lan was serious.
"I also want to stay with you, but I'm afraid it's not too convenient right now?" Xu Heng was referring to the Imperial Consort Lan who was now the emperor's woman. She was no longer as free as she was in the past.
"Why would it be inconvenient? As long as you have time, I will come out and accompany you. The emperor has been rather busy recently and doesn't care about me at all, so I can come out often." Imperial Consort Lan felt that this was a good opportunity.
"It's still okay to come out occasionally. If you come out often, I'm afraid the emperor will be suspicious by then." Xu Heng was only thinking for the Imperial Consort Lan, he did not want his beloved girl to suffer.
"It's alright, the emperor has been very busy recently. He definitely won't be suspicious." What Imperial Consort Lan did not know was that Su Jinxuan's smile had already locked onto her, and was currently in danger.
"It's better to be careful." Xu Heng wasn't afraid of him, he was afraid of him for the Imperial Consort Lan.
But Imperial Consort Lan was wrong, she thought that Xu Heng was just a coward, afraid that the Emperor would find out and punish his.
"Xu Heng, when did you become so cowardly? "I remember that you weren't like that before!" Imperial Consort Lan was unhappy.
"Do you really think that way in your heart? Do you think that way about me?" Xu Heng was a little sad. She never thought that the Imperial Consort Lan would actually come to this conclusion.
"Then what did you mean by that? What exactly are you afraid of? " Imperial Consort Lan asked.
"I was afraid that the Emperor would suspect you if you came out often." Xu Heng explained.
"So you're afraid of this. Relax, there's no need to worry about this. Right now, the emperor is very trusting of me and also very trusting of me. Normally, he wouldn't suspect me. Every time I leave the palace, he thinks I'm going to Big Brother's home." The Imperial Consort Lan said with a smile.
"It's better to be careful. Perhaps the Emperor suspects that you just don't know." Xu Heng was still quite cautious.
"Of course I know that. Just try to be more careful in the future." Imperial Consort Lan only said that because she knew that Xu Heng was worried about her.
The guards had heard the conversation clearly, and immediately went back to report it to Su Jinxuan. At this time, not only did the Imperial Consort Lan not return to the palace today, but it was also the most suitable chance to take down the Imperial Consort Lan if she was with a man.
After that, he would think of a way to have the Emperor leave the palace so that he could personally see his most beloved concubine. Now that he was alone with a man, the Imperial Consort Lan would definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
The corner of Su Jinxuan's mouth finally revealed a satisfied smile. After so many years, this evil Imperial Consort Lan had finally found an opportunity to deal with her.
After Su Jinxuan entered the palace, he casually found an excuse, and told the emperor, no matter what, he must find some time today to accompany him out.
Perhaps Su Jinxuan found a better reason, or perhaps it was because the emperor had not left the palace for quite some time and wanted to go out to take a look, the emperor did not hesitate at all and directly agreed to let Su Jinxuan leave with him.
What he didn't know was that Su Jinxuan would take him to see an image that made him very angry. Right now, his mood was still very good, and when he leaves the palace and sees that scene, his mood would definitely be a lot worse.
After the emperor finished busying himself, he changed into a set of ordinary clothes and left the palace together with Su Jinxuan. With Su Jinxuan's protection, the emperor did not stay behind with his personal bodyguards this time.
After exiting the palace, Su Jinxuan immediately brought the emperor to where the Imperial Consort Lan was. The emperor was still wondering where Su Jinxuan was taking him, although he was feeling suspicious, he didn't ask.
Under the guidance of the secret guard, the two of them drove the carriage to the entrance of the courtyard the Imperial Consort Lan and Xu Heng were in.
Sensing that the carriage had stopped, the Emperor lifted the curtain and looked outside. "Why did you bring me here?" he asked. "What is this place?"
"Father, please get off the carriage first. I will bring you in to meet an acquaintance." Su Jinxuan said with a smile.
"Who is it?" The emperor was a little curious, as to what this Su Jinxuan was doing in such a secretive manner.
"Father, when you go in and see later, you'll know. There's no rush right now." Su Jinxuan did not immediately answer the emperor's question.
"Oh really? Then I must hurry and go in to take a look. " Hearing what Su Jinxuan said, the emperor became more and more curious.
After getting off the carriage, the guard walked over and knocked on the door.
At this time, Imperial Consort Lan was chatting with Xu Heng inside the house. After hearing knocking on the door, Xu Heng and Imperial Consort Lan did not think too much into it, because this place was very secluded, ordinary people would not come here. They thought that it was their neighbor.
"You wait a moment, I'll go out and open the door to see who it is." Xu Heng stood up and said to the Imperial Consort Lan.
"I'll go with you." Imperial Consort Lan also stood up.
What Imperial Consort Lan didn't expect was that the ones standing outside the door was actually the Emperor and Su Jinxuan. She followed Xu Heng and opened the door.
The first person Xu Heng saw after opening the door was the secret guard, he did not know him too and was not too surprised.
Seeing the door open, the guard retreated to the side, and the Emperor and Su Jinxuan walked to the door.
When he saw the emperor, Xu Heng was stunned, Imperial Consort Lan felt his heart racing, and thought, could it be that she's seeing things? He actually saw the Emperor here?
The Emperor saw the Imperial Consort Lan and couldn't believe in his heart that the woman here was the Imperial Consort Lan.
