After she finished eating, Xia Sizhu rubbed her stomach. With a satisfied expression, she narrowed her eyes and lazily leaned against the wall.
"Alright, this grandpa will leave now. You should be careful." The corner of Dongfang Ye's mouth curled up slightly as he felt the gradually increasing breathing of the prison wardens. He knew that the prison wardens were about to wake up, so after giving a few instructions, he left in a flash. When he left, he even locked up Xia Sizhu's cell, so that she wouldn't lock it again.
Xia Sizhu lazily lifted her eyes before closing them again to rest them.
As for Ling'er, who was being carried by Ling Feng, she was carried far away. Suddenly, she used both hands to pat Ling Feng's shoulder and shouted: "Let me down, I want to go find my family's little boy. "Sister!" Ling Feng did not even stop, ignoring Ling'er.
Seeing that Ling Feng did not pay attention to her, Ling'er started to scratch his body. Ling Feng remained unmoved, but his footsteps became quicker.
"Hiss ~"
A sudden pain came from Ling Feng's shoulder as he turned around. Seeing that Ling Feng had ignored her, Ling'er immediately moved her mouth to bite him.
The corner of Ling Feng's mouth twitched. Pa! A slap landed on Ling'er's butt. "Be quiet."
Ling'er's face instantly turned red, and she fiercely glared at Ling Feng, not daring to do anything else. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became. She could not help but start crying.
Feeling the chill on his shoulder and the soft crying, Ling Feng was so annoyed by Ling'er that he had to stop and put her down. Looking at her crying face, Ling Feng felt his head grow big.
"Stop crying!" Ling Feng had no choice but to comfort her. It would be good if this wasn't comforting, but if this wasn't comforting, then it was fine. After comforting Ling'er, she started crying even harder.
"Didn't you want to go find your young lady? "Give me a good reason, and I'll bring you there." Helpless, Ling Feng could only come up with this plan. It's not that I don't want to give you and Miss Xia time alone, it's just that this little girl is too hard to deal with, just like her master.
"Miss and Night King are together, I'm worried that Miss is not safe." Once Ling'er heard that Ling Feng could take her to find the young miss, she gradually stopped crying.
"Don't worry, this grandpa won't do anything to your little miss. Night King, do you still not believe?" The reason I mentioned Ling'er was because I was worried that you might have a map of Lady Xia. Do not seek to. Damn, Ling Feng instantly smiled, showing an expression that he believed me to be right.
"Really?" Ling'er asked in disbelief.
"Don't worry, believe me, it's definitely true." Of course it was fake, Ling Feng thought to himself. However, he would not tell Ling'er. Once he told the joke to her, she would definitely go back and ruin her master's plans.
Ling'er, after all, had little experience. After being coaxed by Ling Feng to believe in such a promise, she could only obediently let Ling Feng carry her back.
"We're here, this is the place." Ling Feng followed Ling'er's directions and climbed up the wall, sending her to the Bamboo Pavilion.
"Ling'er, did you go find your young miss?" Hearing the noise outside the door, Aunt Liu came out.
"Aunt Liu, why are you here?" Ling'er guiltily changed the topic.
"I'm worried about you, so I came to take a look." Fortunately, she had come to take a look. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know that she had slipped away in the middle of the night.
"This is?" Only then did Aunt Liu notice Ling Feng, who was standing by the window, and ask.
"I am Night King's guard, and have been ordered to send Miss Ling'er back. I have sent her back, and have left."
After saying that, he used his Qing Gong and disappeared.
"Let's talk after we enter!" Aunt Liu looked at Ling'er, who looked uneasy.
Ling'er silently entered, then told Aunt Liu what she'd seen in the prison.
"Alright, don't worry, your young miss will definitely be fine now. It's already so late, you should stay with me before your young miss comes back!" "Hurry up and pack up."
"Okay!" Ling'er replied before she went to pack her things.
Looking at Ling'er, who was packing her things, Aunt Liu's eyes sparkled. Aunt Liu was an intelligent woman, so she could tell there was something fishy going on.
For example, why would the Night King appear outside the prison, and why would he go there? Furthermore, Night King had his guards send Ling'er on her way. It was obvious that Ling'er didn't have the face to do so. Thus, he could get her guards to send her back.
But if it was that girl, Sizhu, then it was possible that there was definitely something going on between Sizhu and Night King. As for something that was going on, how could Aunt Liu not guess it?
While she was thinking, Ling'er had already packed up her things. "Let's go!" Aunt Liu looked at Ling'er, who was standing there nervously. She smiled, then left the pavilion with Ling'er.
In a certain temple in the southern mausoleum, all the lights in the rooms had already been extinguished. Only one room was still lit up with a weak light.
There was a woman sitting in the room. Although the material she wore was simple and not gaudy, it was extremely exquisite and the material was also excellent.
The woman looked to be around thirty years old, and the passage of time did not seem to have left a mark on her face.
The woman's eyes were tightly shut, her expression calm and harmless. Knocking three times on the door, the woman did not even open her eyes, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me unless it's something important?"
The woman did not stop what she was doing. Her indifferent voice was mixed with a hint of deterrence.
"Empress Dowager, there's a letter here. Night King sent someone to deliver it. The person who sent it said it was very important." A woman's voice was heard. Her voice was neither loud nor low, and her tone was filled with respect.
"Come in." The woman slowly opened her eyes. She didn't know her grandson very well, why did she think of her grandmother today, and even sent a letter over so quickly?
The door was pushed open, and a woman in her forties, with a plain face, who was not as well maintained as Her Majesty, entered the room.
This woman was called Su Qiu and was the empress dowager's loyal confidant. From when the empress dowager was young until now, she had accompanied the empress dowager through her years of glory and downfall, never leaving.
The woman stood aside as soon as she entered, holding a letter in her hand. She stood there respectfully, waiting for the empress dowager to speak.
"Su Qiu, hand it over!" After a long while, the empress dowager finally stopped her actions. Su Qiu immediately handed the envelope over to the empress dowager.
The empress dowager opened the envelope without a single ripple as she looked at the emperor's handwritten words. After reading a few lines, the empress dowager's breath suddenly became heavy and her face turned frosty.
"Prepare the carriage, This Dowager wants to return to the Imperial Palace."
After reading the letter in her hand, a cold light flickered in the empress dowager's eyes. She had only come out to pray for the little girl's safety. These people actually dared to bully the little girl while she wasn't at the palace.
The emperor was already such a big person, yet he was still angry at the little girl. If he knew the little girl's true identity, he would definitely regret treating her like this.
"This blessing hasn't been completed yet, so why is the empress dowager going back?" Su Qiu was somewhat puzzled. What kind of things could cause the empress dowager to leave the matter of praying for Miss Xia and rush over? Could it be that something had happened to Miss Xia?
"Look for yourself!" The empress dowager stood up and handed the letter in her hand over to Su Qiu.
