In the past, he had always been protecting me and taking care of me. However, I kept hurting him. Now, let me find you, Qingling! Please wait for me somewhere!
I left the Evergreen Sect and said goodbye to all my fellow disciples. Xiao Yu and Huang Feihu had wanted to follow me, but I politely rejected them. I don't know when it will end, and I also want to learn how to endure loneliness. I hope that the next time I see Qing Ling, I will have already grown up to be a slightly mature person … I didn't want to be a burden to him anymore, dragging him down, hurting him, making him hurt me again and again.
The first thing I did was go to the imperial palace. Although Qing Ling said that he didn't have any deep feelings for the palace, but it is still his home. Furthermore, the palace still has his brother, and his most beloved Princess Yao Hua.
Relying on my memory, I arrived at the wall of the Cold Palace. This used to be the weakest point of the palace's defenses, and there was a dog hole through which he could go. But now that he was Emperor Yu's son, he should be more on his guard, right? I wonder if I can use the old method?
However, when I arrived at my destination, I was surprised … In the past, the powerful barrier that was set up around the palace wall had completely disappeared. Aside from the faint traces of magic in the direction of the Emperor's Everlasting Palace, the rest of the palace only seemed to be guarded by ordinary people. So it was easy for me to jump over the wall and into the palace.
As they sped along, the architecture of the palace remained as exquisite as ever. However, the scenery seemed to have changed.
Where was the change?
Suspicious, I looked around carefully, and at this moment, by a stroke of good luck, I came across an acquaintance, and discovered more and more the peculiarities of this process. In the past, when the late emperor was on the throne, he was very happy and extravagant. In his imperial harem, even the lowliest palace maids wore extremely beautiful and complicated dresses; however, the girls in front of him were only dressed in simple and elegant palace dresses. Their hair ornaments were extremely simple and simple, making them seem extremely simple and unadorned.
The palace maid wore simple attire. It was nothing to her, but the main issue was that the leader, the Empress … She's Jane Rou.
The senior protector of the Thunder God School, the former "Frost Woman" Jian Rou, was said to have been promoted to a noble concubine and was doted upon by the emperor, so her position in the harem should be the most honorable. However, she was currently wearing a simple dress, and apart from the accessories required for the imperial court's etiquette, her appearance looked almost the same as when she was in the Thunder God Cult.
She looked serene as she hurried past, leading several palace maids. She didn't notice me hiding in the darkness.
I heard a mama fawning at the side say, "It's so touching that esteemed imperial concubine would personally deliver snacks to the emperor at such a late hour!"
Jian Rou smiled faintly and looked in the direction of the imperial study. "His Majesty is the one who worries others. It is already the middle of the night and he is still dealing with government affairs. What does it matter if I occasionally do some small things for him? "
Another person said, "The emperor diligently loves his people, and the Empress is also meticulous in her actions. Our Tianyu dynasty will definitely become more and more glorious!"
With a faint smile, Jian Rou led the group away.
Hmm, it seems that her days with Ashen Feather were quite good?
I stayed in the darkness for a while, then turned and ran away to the palace.
Princess Yaohua's new wedding was to unexpectedly marry the unmarried Chang Ren of the past! The one who caught her in front of the dog hole and I knocked her out...
I used some tricks to create the image of the maid by the princess' side. Afterwards, I inquired her about the news, only to find out that Qingling had not returned to the palace.
If Qing Ling was not in the palace, where would he go? Or perhaps he had already returned, and was unwilling to reveal himself in front of Yaohua?
Unresigned, I took advantage of the darkness of the night to flip through the entire palace. It was a pity that I didn't find any traces of Qing Ling even after I went into the Everlasting Palace where the barrier was set up.
He really didn't come back.
I was a little disappointed. After wandering around the palace at night, I couldn't help but head to the royal study. It was for no other reason but to admire the beauty for a moment.
When I went there, Jane had already left. The last feather beauty was in the royal study, writing at the top of her desk. His long hair hung down, and he was absorbed in the small mountain of books.
I squatted outside the window for a long time, but he didn't notice. In the end, I had to sigh... What a hard-working emperor. Moreover, under the candlelight, he still looked as devastatingly beautiful as ever, making others drool … However, I still feel a little regretful … Although the Dragon Robe was noble, it still didn't look as beautiful as the red dress he used to wear …
Thinking about the past, I couldn't help but sigh. However, this sigh caused Mo Yu to jump up in fright. She raised her head and alertly called out, "Who is it?!"
I quickly returned to my original form and slipped away like a wisp of smoke before I could chase away the guards.
After leaving the palace, I hid in the capital. I thought that perhaps Qing Ling was on his way back to the capital after going on a sightseeing trip, which was slower than me. I'll wait here for him and see if I can find him.
I had intended to stay in the capital for a while and enjoy the scenery there that I had never seen before. However, a few days later, news of the palace's theft was posted on the streets and streets of the capital.
I, who always enjoy watching the show, squeeze into the crowd and look... Yo, why does this thief look like me?
Looking back at the news on the leaderboard, that the date of the theft of the palace treasure was indeed the night I entered the palace … However, I clearly did not steal anything, not even touching the Heavenly Jewels … How can you accuse me of stealing?
Even though I know a little about illusions and don't have to worry about being recognized, I am still very, very unhappy to see myself become a thief that everyone is shouting about!
Thus, I left the capital gloomily and returned to the South Mountain.
My second stop is to go to the Hundred Flowers Restaurant in Mount Qiannan. That is the place where Qing Ling and I met for the first time. Even though he had already hardened his heart to leave me, I, who was narcissistic, still carried a sliver of hope … Maybe Qing Ling was just upset, or maybe he was already regretting it. Like me, he just eagerly ran back to the Hundred Flowers House to borrow wine to pour his worries away?
Maybe we can meet again!
Holding on to this fantasy, I walked back to the mountain with an extremely fast pace. The roasted chicken at Hundred Flowers House is still as delicious as always. Those cat girls were still there fooling around with the male customers. Furthermore, I was also teased by the hooligans!
"This beauty, eating alone is so boring, how about accompanying me to drink and drink?"
There was a hoodlum who looked very unsightly to the audience that came to tease me. This really made me feel infuriated … Blind your krypton golden eyes, how dare you tease me! If you were a little more good-looking, I would feel a little honored to be flirted with … However, the problem was this "Master" was too shabby. He was such a degenerate person!
I was holding back a bellyful of anger, but now I'm really dozing off and someone is handing me a pillow... Perfect!
He just so happened to be practicing with these hooligans!
I gave the "lord" a coquettish look, and then, imitating the way Tsui Ling used to tease the cat girl, invited them to go outside and "play." The hooligans immediately softened their legs and followed behind me, their fart trembling. After that, when we reached the wilderness, I immediately turned back into my real body. I scared them to the point that they started to cry for their parents. Then, I continued to chase after them, releasing all of the anger I had accumulated over the past few days.
After beating him up, his heart was finally at ease, so he rode his sword back to the Full Moon Valley.
Unfortunately, he still could not find Qing Ling here.
