After Li Liangxiao left, Wang Su did not speak anymore. She sat down on the table and started to read his paper, and Zhuang Li did not know what to say either. She looked around and saw that there was still another chair beside Wang Su.

After all, she was currently in the Imperial Study …

of course, it was not as comfortable as being in a small Plum Court. He also didn't know how worried Qing You was outside.

Yet Wang Su acted as if she was air and continued to flip through his paper, causing him to suddenly feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, I …" When are we going back? " She finally got the chance for Wang Su to drink his tea and asked carefully.

At this time, Wang Su turned his head to look at her. It was as if the iciness in his eyes had just realized that she was here, causing him to feel a little pained in his heart. She suddenly stood up and realized that this person was the current Emperor of the Great Phoenix. He was no longer the Sixth Prince who gave his the jade pendant back then.

"Are you afraid?" Wang Su looked at her before placing the teacup on the table.

Zhuang Li, however, did not dare to speak anymore. She felt as if Wang Su had seen through her, and his entire body froze in an instant.

"If you still want to go back, then you shouldn't have entered the Heart Nurturing Palace today."

After Zhuang Li heard this, he naturally realized that something wasn't right. Perhaps it was because of today's incident, that she could originally have quietly stayed within her Plum Court, waiting to leave the palace. But now, she had become a thorn in the side of the empress …

"Your Majesty …" Zhuang Li was startled, if he could not go back, then he would have to stay. Li Liangxiao and Uncle Zheng being alive and well was already the greatest boost in her courage due to this piece of news. At least God was fair.

Zhuang Li quickly brought the tea leaves over and personally brought them to Wang Su to exchange the tea leaves she had drunk earlier. young eunuch was so scared that he immediately knelt down. He looked at the emperor with lingering fear. But Wang Su did not do anything. He did not get angry either. He only swept a glance at Zhuang Li from the corner of his eyes, and it seemed as if a cold smile appeared on his face. But he did not speak.

Zhuang Li took off the tea and handed it over to the young eunuch. Seeing that the emperor was not angry, he calmed himself down from his nervousness just now. He took the tea and left.

"If you want to be my maid, then go wait outside." He did not even look up as he said this.

"Yes." She replied obediently and followed the young eunuch out.

She could not understand Wang Su at all. The cold and noble Sixth Prince at the time, the stubborn animal like Wang Su at the road of West Cold. Wang Su who gave her the jade pendant. Wang Su, who had placed her within the Plum Court and had not asked her for an entire year, was the one who protected her in front of the empress … and there were also people in the Imperial Study who were cold, and even a little tired. But it was very strange. Although he was a bit scared, she didn't hate him any more …

Standing outside the Imperial Study, next to the head lamp and the eunuch serving tea, Zhuang Li shivered from the cold wind.

There was an old eunuch standing on the stairs. He often appeared next to the emperor, but this eunuch always stood there with an unfeeling expression on his face. She glanced at Zhuang Li but did not say anything. On the other hand, young eunuch who was serving tea had a somewhat human-like expression on his face and might still be able to communicate with him.

"Does the emperor usually have such a temper?" The eunuch originally didn't want to talk with Zhuang Li, but after standing together with him for a long time, she started to tremble as if he sympathized with her.

"For the emperor to be served by a woman, this is the first." The eunuch gradually got closer to Zhuang Li.

"Why?"

"Did you just enter the palace? You don't even know this. "

"I guess I just entered the palace. I hope that you can tell me more. "

"Because of the empress …"

Zhuang Li listened intently, afraid that the wind would blow some of the young eunuch's words away. When the Great Eunuch, who was standing on top of the stairs, came down, he knocked on young eunuch's head and was immediately scared to the point of almost kneeling down.

"Little Duozi, how do I usually teach you? You even dare to chew on the emperor's tongue? Don't you think your life is too long? "

Little Duozi naturally did not dare to say anything else, and his father-in-law also did not dare speak with Zhuang Li. Every hour, he would enter the Imperial Study to help the emperor change the tea. When Zhuang Li wanted to go, he did not stop him, but only stood to the side to guard. Until dawn arrived.

Zhuang Li had long since started to doze off. She lived in the Plum Court and normally had nothing interesting to do.

And now, this Imperial Study which was brightly lit, still made her somewhat unable to endure it. At some point, he had fallen asleep while leaning against the stone pillar.

By the time she woke up, the sky was already starting to turn white. He leaned against the stone steps with his arms crossed. He had long since lost consciousness from the cold. She quickly looked around. There was no longer any sign of the old eunuch from young eunuch, but a few guards were still standing on the spot. However, his face was livid and he ignored her.

She trembled as she stood up. Just as she prepared to go into Imperial Study to take a look, she met the emperor's personal old eunuch.

"Aiyo, you sure are ambitious. You can sleep with that. "

Zhuang Li even smiled at him embarrassedly: "I'm too tired."

"Cut the crap, hurry up and come with me."

The old eunuch brought Li Zhuang to a small room in the Imperial Study's backyard.

"You can stay here for now. The Emperor gave you to me, and told me to serve him tea with you first."

He pushed open the small door, and an old gust of air blew into his face. It was obvious that no one had lived in that room for a long time.

"This is the room where the palace maid used to live. It's just that since the day the Emperor ascended the throne, he hasn't lived here with the palace maid. Next to the teahouse. "Since the new year has yet to begin, you should quickly familiarize yourself with the situation. If there's anyone who doesn't understand, just ask me."

Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to recall something. That little palace maid of yours should temporarily stay in the side room. In the afternoon, nanny will bring her over.

Zhuang Li naturally did not dare say much, and quickly went into the room to clean up the place. She laid on the bed with the blanket wrapped around her, and it was extremely cold for her that night.

In the afternoon, Qing You walked over with a bow from the nanny. Seeing that Zhuang Li originally wanted to jump into her arms like a little bird, but seeing the nanny's expression from the side, she immediately and obediently came to greet Zhuang Li.

Only until Zhuang Li pulled her back into the house did she return to normal.

"Miss, you don't know, something big almost happened."

"What's wrong?"

I couldn't find you yesterday. At first I was anxious, but then a young eunuch came over and told me to go back quickly. You have offended the empress this time. The rumors in the palace were all spread that the emperor had stepped in to protect you. "

Zhuang Li had understood it long ago. The Queen had insisted on taking off her veil to see if the Princess of West Cold was a fake or not. If the emperor protected her, then the empress would definitely vent her anger on Zhuang Li, and probably think that Zhuang Li was a little fox spirit.

"After being scolded by the nanny for half a day and saying that I had no rules, I was so scared that I didn't even dare speak carelessly anymore. However, after listening to her mutter to herself for half a day, I said that the Princess of West Cold was practically forgotten by others.

"I asked the nanny if she was that powerful? When the Emperor ascended the throne, he originally only had one concubine, who was the current Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin. According to logic, even though she was born in a noble family and could smoothly become a Empress, the birth of the Zhaojia was even more precious than the birth of the Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin. But Miss, you aren't the real Princess of West Cold after all, so how can the Emperor let you go? "

"That's right, I'm not the real Ge Ya, so don't worry about me, Qing You. Besides, we're currently living in Imperial Study, so other than the emperor and that old eunuch Eunuch Li being able to order us around, there's no need to worry about anything else."

After what happened yesterday, at least she had answered one question: Why would the General Li take care of her in every possible way? Because he was a family member, Li Liangxiao had already recognized Zhuang Li at that time.

Now that the Emperor wanted to establish his own army, Li Liangxiao was a talented person who led his troops in war. The Emperor needed him, so he naturally wouldn't take Zhuang Li's life.

But she had to arrange an identity for Zhuang Li not to be killed.

At that time, the whereabouts of both the Princess of West Cold and Xi Cuo were unknown, and the minds of the entire West Cold were in panic, so they might as well make a mistake, and they tacitly agreed that the Princess of West Cold was Zhuang Li.

Although it was too easy to arouse suspicion by looking at Zhuang Li, almost isolating her from the Plum Court which was the furthest from the main palace, and even bestowing her the title of a Imperial Noble Lady.

But why is the Emperor still unwilling to reveal that Zhuang Li is not Princess Ge Ya?

Zhuang Li, on the other hand, could not understand. It was only when she heard Qing You mumbling that she wondered if Xi Cuo had fully recovered from his injuries. Zhuang Li suddenly realized.

Although his West Cold had already been pacified, and he was sincere about it, he still had not found the bloodline of the West Cold royal family. Since Wang Su was so intelligent, it was natural for him to think that Zhuang Li and Ge Ya had some sort of relationship and tie up. If one were to mention that Princess Ge Ya was still in the Great Phoenix Sect, one of them was controlling the soldiers' hearts which had yet to be gathered in the West Cold. Secondly, they had also restricted the movements of Xi Cuo and Ge Ya, as if reminding them of their own existence.

If Wang Su did not expose Zhuang Li's plan in the palace, perhaps he would tell the queen her plan in private. The hatred the empress of the palace had towards him was nothing more than gossip.

Thinking up to here, Zhuang Li heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps what she needed to do now was to serve the emperor who had such a deep thought. When the chance presented itself, she might really be able to leave the palace.
