Zhuang Li was not especially clear about how the matter came to an end. When she woke up again, she was still on the bed in the western suburbs. She sighed with relief.
"Miss, you really scared me to death … "One of them did not notice that something so big had happened."
She thought, 'This is none of my business. I am also exceptionally innocent. Moreover, regardless of whether you are aware of it, I will still be unlucky …'
However, he had actually survived … This was truly the legendary physique of transcending worlds.
However, the little girl in front of him was especially pitiful because she was worried about him. She almost looked like a little rabbit. If she had ears, she would definitely be a coward right now.
Zhuang Li reached out a hand from within the quilt, wanting to gently touch her little head. Unfortunately, the length of his hand was limited, and while Qing You was still angry, she tilted his head and dodged it …
"I'm fine, aren't I?" The only thing was probably the aftereffects of some headaches …
"Nothing at all …" "Did you know that the palace is abuzz with rumors …"
"Oh?" Zhuang Li still held his head up playfully, and asked: "How did you pass it down to me?"
"I said you went to steal things from the Imperial Noble Consort Palace of Hanqin … "The result was that I was caught …"
"Oh!" Zhuang Li had originally planned to kick her out of the palace with this kind of plan, so she would naturally spread the news within the palace and send Zhuang Li to jail for her crimes. The harder the better, so she wouldn't have any chance to turn the situation around.
Looking at Zhuang Li's expression, it seemed that she had already predicted that the situation would develop in such a way, and instead, made Qing You lose any interest in keeping him in suspense. However, Qing You's conversation suddenly changed.
"But, miss, the strange thing is yet to come."
Zhuang Li acknowledged her again and waited for her to finish. She didn't know how long she had been lying there, but she still felt dizzy. Naturally, she wanted to know what else had happened.
Qing You cleared her throat and continued, "This matter was originally only spread out from the Imperial Noble Consort Palace of Hanqin, but somehow, the palace maids also came in later on to say that it was true and that they were helping the people in the palace to spread the word. "In the beginning, it was only a private rumor, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort had already returned to the palace. The news was even more passionate, and …"
"Even what?"
"There is even a rumor that Miss has been framed for stealing things … And at that time, the Miss really hadn't come back. It makes me anxious.
He thought that something had really happened. At that time, the emperor still hadn't returned, the Eunuch Li hadn't returned, Xiao Bai and Li Liangxiao weren't present either. I didn't even have someone that I could ask for help with.
The emperor finally returned to the palace during the night, but since he didn't come to the Imperial Study, I naturally didn't see him. Not long after that, I heard that the palace had sent several girls away. Originally, no one knew what crime they had committed, and it was only when Nanny Lv came to deliver food that she told me that those palace maids were dismissed because they had done the most unsuitable thing to do in the palace. "It means that they are just blabbering …"
"At that time, I still haven't reacted to it. That Nanny Lv said, think about what kind of things have spread like wildfire in the recent two days? Of course it was the matter of the tea serving official at the Imperial Study stealing things.
I carefully asked Nanny Lv if she had heard anything. Nanny Lv said that she had only heard that Eunuch Li was reorganizing his servants.
After the Eunuch Li had a few people clean up the mess, the matter stopped. Then, at night, the emperor finally came to the Imperial Study. Naturally, I didn't see him, but after finally seeing the Eunuch Li, I hurriedly asked him about your situation. Eunuch Li didn't say anything, but he smiled faintly at me … He's old and his face is full of wrinkles when he laughs. He's ugly, but I know that you're fine Miss …
"That very night, I was sent to this palace to take care of you …"
Zhuang Li looked at the little girl and her eyes seemed to shine brightly. He couldn't help but laugh because he was infected by her. You said that Eunuch Li's smile was especially ugly, aren't you afraid that he'll come and cause trouble for you in the future by sensing what you said? Maybe the palace was too far away from here, and the signal wasn't good enough, so Eunuch Li's telepathy couldn't receive the message.
She naturally knew Zhao Qin's intentions. The Emperor did not execute her, and the Prime Minister's father, who had always doted on her, did not help her at the critical moment. This made her especially angry, and made her helpless against him for a moment. Thus, he started to spread the news of Zhuang Li stealing the paintings. As long as this matter was known by everyone in the imperial harem, even if Zhuang Li jumped into the Yellow River, she would not be able to wash away her sins.
It was likely that even if Zhuang Li was not executed, half of her life had already been taken away. It was impossible for everyone to let her continue to stay by the emperor's side as if nothing had happened, and even if they did not punish her for it, they would transfer her far, far away from the emperor. They would not be able to see him again for the rest of their lives.
Her plan was naturally to do things exceptionally well.
Even though the Emperor had said that the Empress did not immediately execute Zhuang Li due to her feelings and feelings, there was still a knot in her heart long ago. She had helped spread rumors of the Qingyang Palace in order for Zhuang Li to die faster or to get as far away as possible from there.
As long as he gave them a bit more effort, and let them spread the news a little longer, Zhuang Li would naturally not be able to escape her misfortune once again. Unfortunately, the emperor returned in time.
He also made an extremely smart decision to not bring Zhuang Li back with him and instead place her in the palace outside the city first. This gave Zhuang Li extra time to catch her breath.
Although the harem was taught by the empress, but the servants' rules were set by the Eunuch Li. The Eunuch Li punished the servants who were blabbering on and on, as expected. It also indirectly stopped the endless rumors from spreading.
And anything that the Eunuch Li does, is naturally what the Emperor intends to do …
When Zhuang Li returned to the palace like this, she estimated that many people had already been replaced by new disciples, and would no longer remember this matter.
How long will I stay in this palace?
However, those weren't important anymore. She now knew that the Emperor liked her as seriously as she liked the Emperor … What other scruples are there?
He was even happier than the entire house of gold. Regardless of whether the other party was in front of him or not, his heart was exceptionally at peace.
Zhuang Li grabbed the ice bag and spread it on her forehead. She had seen a lot of imperial physicians recently, and although she felt that her body was fine, and that she was full of energy, she still felt dizzy.
She had also asked the doctor about this. She had expressed that she seemed to have been pricked by some poison, and it had even caused her to be unable to control what she wanted to say …
Since he had been pricked by poison before, he had to first get rid of the poison. He also had to understand what poison it was. Unfortunately, by the time they went to look for that eunuch, there were already no traces of him. After some time, news spread and they found young eunuch's corpse by the lake in the palace …
This time, he was dead for sure …
Fortunately, he was still young. No matter what kind of poison it was, he could quickly recover and expel it from his body. As expected, the exhaustion in his body recovered very quickly. Occasionally, he would feel a little dizzy.
The doctor had someone serve him with ice cubes and said that if he was extremely dizzy, he would put some ice cubes on his forehead.
Zhuang Li did not mind such medical treatment. After all, she didn't have a fever. However, the weather was originally hot and the ice supply was sufficient to make her feel comfortable.
She took the ice cloth bag off her face, and realised that Qing You was still staring at her surroundings, her heart seemed to be filled with excitement.
"How happy are you? I'm not that big of a deal, you don't have to be so agitated … "
The expression in Qing You's eyes made Zhuang Li a little confused, but the former still spoke out.
"Miss, this is the first time I've left the palace in years!"
didn't expect that there would actually be such a relationship between them, and it was also true that the child had followed him from the West Cold to the palace. Although he had recently gone to see a water hazard with the emperor, that girl had been imprisoned within the palace all along. To have the opportunity to leave the palace like this, he was naturally secretly happy in his heart.
"What's there to be happy about? This isn't a street, this is also the emperor's palace."
"That's right, Miss. Not only did I leave the palace, I even saw the emperor's sleeping quarters …"
She rolled her eyes a few times, as if trying to fit everything around her into her eyes.
Zhuang Li who was infected with her also looked around, the place she was staying at seemed to be the emperor's private palace. That was why it was so beautiful.
Although the palace was also the emperor's palace, how many years would it take for the emperor to think of living here this time? There was no emperor, nor was there a master in the imperial harem, but only the servants trained by the Eunuch Li were taking care of everything here, so the atmosphere was naturally especially different from the palace.
He had to be careful and cautious in the palace, but here he was much more at ease. It was a sacred place that was close to the mountains and the water, a place where the royal family cultivated. He didn't need to go in and out of the house to be afraid that he might accidentally offend the master, or say something wrong to offend someone.
Thinking about it this way, Zhuang Li couldn't help but cheer along with Qing You.
The ones who served Zhuang Li before she came were the two young eunuch s left behind by the emperor, they were called in to inquire about the current situation. The palace had already been cleaned and properly settled down, the emperor only said to let the Imperial Noble Lady Ya rest in peace here, but didn't mention anything else.
"Help me up and take a look …"
Although he felt that his thoughts were extremely childish, it still made Zhuang Li suddenly feel like a tiger was not home and a monkey was a king …
She didn't care who the tiger was or if she was a monkey. Let Qing You help her out of the house.
Wang Su had been busy dealing with the war at the border ever since he came to power. He had caused all sorts of small disturbances, battling in places where he could fight, and recuperating in places where he could rest. No court of its own was built.
Zhuang Li smiled. That man was not someone who cared about these things.
What entered Zhuang Li's eyes were the verdant mountains and the small pool of water at the foot of the mountain. Because they were outside the city, it was a lot cooler inside, and although that small pool of water was not big, it was dark green and mysterious, like a tribute to an agate pearl.
Next to the pool of water was a rock with the words Jadestone Pond written on it. The young eunuch said that the resting place of this palace was planned by the late emperor himself. He lived here, and when he woke up, he could see the tall mountain and the small pond. He even put quite a few carp in the pond to raise. These fish are really fat …
