Qin Shuo's and Yin Fufeng's group heaved a sigh of relief, but only the two of them knew what Wen Fuchen and Xue Mier were thinking.
Hu Xiao and Soong Xuan looked at each other, a complicated expression in their eyes.
He was originally doing it to distance himself from Qin Shuo, but now he was getting closer and closer to Qin Shuo. He really shouldn't have known whether he was happy or worried. However, it could be considered as having escaped a calamity from Wen Fuchen and Xue Mier, and was not too bad.
"Esteemed Empress, this matter was indeed a good thing. Since this is the case, the direct daughter of the Soong Family cannot enter the palace to be an imperial concubine, and is merely a minor female official. After the Empress returns to the palace and finds a way to resolve this issue, who would dare to say a word of disapproval? How could His Majesty really quarrel with the Empress? "
palace maid who was beside Xue Mier consoled him when she saw her gloomy look.
When Xue Mier heard this, she shook her head. The servant girl had said that it could be considered a happy occasion, but the guard did not seem to be a person who liked men.
Just like that, Xue Mier became a bit more at ease, as the two servants favored by the emperor, and when they return to the palace, they would be under her, Imperial Consort Xue's rule.
As for Hu Xiao, Xue Mier was extremely confident that she would not be able to return to the palace.
"You two, come with me."
Seeing the two people kneeling in the great hall, not knowing what to do, Yin Fufeng started to speak.
Hu Xiao smiled at Yin Fufeng. At a time like this, a person with eight facets like Yin Fufeng would definitely not help the two of them.
Supporting Soong Xuan who was still kneeling on the ground, Hu Xiao carried her and followed behind Yin Fufeng.
"Thank you Master Yin for helping me out just now. If you need any help in the future, feel free to mention it."
Yin Fufeng had helped Hu Xiao by who knows how much ever since she met Hu Xiao, but it had always been him, so Hu Xiao did not think that it mattered whether she lived or died, but Soong Xuan had been implicated by him just now. If anything were to happen to Soong Xuan under her lead, Hu Xiao would feel that no matter what she did, she would not be able to make up for it.
With how overbearing Xue Mier and Wen Fuchen were, Hu Xiao could have seen it and remembered it in her heart. Fortunately, Xue Mier and Wen Fuchen did not know that she was the Queen that they wanted, otherwise, would the outcome not be so easy?
"Empress, you're too serious. This official has only done what I should have done."
Furthermore, Qin Shuo's appearance just now clearly showed that he did not want to bother about Hu Xiao and Soong Xuan.
"No matter what, I still have to thank him."
Seeing how concerned Hu Xiao was, Yin Fufeng did not say anything. Since it was like that, she decided to follow Hu Xiao.
As for this Miss Soong's words, they were still the same as ever. Since you are a female official right now, this Imperial Consort Xue will presumably not make things difficult for you on the journey back, so Miss Soong can be at ease. "
Hu Xiao was startled, from tomorrow onwards, as long as there was nothing wrong, it would be fine.
"Xuan'er thanks Master Yin."
Soong Xuan looked at the gentle and refined Yin Fufeng and said. Her face seemed to be redder than before.
"No need, then please do as you please, I still have matters to take care of. But I, the Empress, remember something, the painting of the Mr Mo Zhu seemed to have been destroyed because of this fire. The Empress should take some time to look for the Mr Mo Zhu."
With that, he did not wait for Hu Xiao and Soong Xuan's reply and directly left.
When Hu Xiao heard this, she became anxious, but she could not find Mo Zhu at the moment. Otherwise, something bad might happen, and she would probably want to roast the corn and eat it, but who knew that she would encounter such a mishap?
Seeing that the person had walked far away, Soong Xuan looked at the Empress beside him who had a face as black as her, and felt that it was somewhat funny that she would end up in such a sorry state.
"What are you laughing at?"
Bringing Hu Xiao back to her senses, she saw Soong Xuan standing behind him with a smile that was like a flower, and could not help but ask.
Shouldn't the two of them be sad? How could this Soong Xuan really not follow common sense? Smiling like a ghost.
"Haha, don't you think that the two of us are a bit laughable?"
Only now did Hu Xiao relax to discover their faces. It was no wonder that Soong Xuan was smiling so happily now.
"Alright, after tormenting myself for an entire day, I have finally ended up in such a miserable state. Today's matter is my fault."
Speaking till here, Soong Xuan's current state was completely implicated by her. If she did not insist on letting Soong Xuan head to the Southern Patrol together with her, she would not have lost her position as a female official in the end.
"Forget it. I made this choice myself. It has nothing to do with you. It's getting late. I'm going back."
What Hu Xiao said was not unreasonable, but since she, Soong Xuan, was a friend, and in the end, was also surprised and unhappy, wasn't it? The rest is fine.
Hu Xiao naturally understood the meaning of Soong Xuan's words and smiled faintly in her heart. They had merely met by chance, and in just a few days, Soong Xuan had actually trusted him so much.
But even so, Hu Xiao still felt a warmth in her heart, it was rare for Soong Xuan to have such a high heart to still become friends with him.
After returning to her room, Soong Xuan washed up and laid on her bed. She did not know if what she had done was right, but after thinking about it carefully, even without Hu Xiao, she would still have been grabbed by her own father and dancing in front of the emperor. If it weren't for Hu Xiao supporting her, she would have done her best for her family.
In this way, Soong Xuan believed that Hu Xiao could prevent herself from becoming the Emperor's concubine, and that was enough.
"Xiao Lan, what is a female official in the palace?"
Soong Xuan who had never understood this before was most worried about the female official.
"Ah?" Miss, why did you suddenly ask about this? "
The servant girl Xiao Lan only knew that the chaos outside was caused and that due to their awkward position, they only dared to hide inside the house. Thus, she did not know that the source of the chaos was her young mistress.
"Your Majesty just made me a female official in the palace. I don't know what it was so I asked you."
When Soong Xuan saw the servant girl's surprised expression, she could not help but feel her heart tighten. She could not help but become more curious as to what exactly this female official was. But just now, with the great mistake they had committed, it shouldn't have happened like this, right?
"Miss, you were actually given the title of a female official! If that's the case, then this will be the end of our road in Soong Family. "
