Xuanyuan Qi was not angry. He was already satisfied with how much he knew. He stood up slowly and glanced at the sad Madam Ping.

Even though she played the fool every day, even though she was intimidating, even though she always stayed in this deserted corner. However, she exuded the same kind of kindness as before. This kind of kindness could let him feel that there was still a trace of warmth within the palace.

"I'm leaving, take good care of yourself. If there is any danger one day, get someone to inform me. " Discarding his promise to Princess Pingping, Xuanyuan Qi stood up and walked down the stairs, quickly walking towards the entrance of the rouge hall.

Along the way, he thought about how he should explain this to his father. If he told this lie well, he would be able to come back after a short period of time. If there were any problems, perhaps the Queen would make an article on it.

Worry filled his face. He sighed deeply. Then, he felt that he had reached the main entrance.

When he turned around and saw the three words on the door, a strange feeling came over him, causing him to feel a stab to his heart.

"Crown Prince... "Crown Prince …" When the guards who had been kneeling at the entrance heard the footsteps, they slightly raised their heads and saw that it was the crown prince. They were so scared that they didn't dare to move.

"Get up! Protect Pingfei well. If anything goes wrong, be careful of your brains! " Xuanyuan Qi raised his hand and said with a slightly reproachful tone.

"Yes, yes, yes!" This servant will definitely win by twelve percent! " Today, the guard leading the group continuously kowtowed, almost knocking a hole through the marble at the entrance.

"Yes!"

Xuanyuan Zhi absent-mindedly nodded his head before striding towards his own courtyard.

As she walked, her mind was still sorting out the thoughts she had, and she remembered that there were several things she had to do right now: first, to find out as soon as possible the real reason for the empress's desire to get rid of her; secondly, to find someone else to protect Pingfei's safety, and if Pingfei was in trouble, Pingfei wouldn't be able to come back; thirdly, she had to lie to her father like this, so that the empress wouldn't be able to find an excuse to punish her; and lastly, to find out the whereabouts of the crazy girl as soon as possible.

That damnable madman, even if he wanted to leave, he had to say it out loud. If he really wanted to come and go as he pleased, he had to capture her. Otherwise, how could he, the crown prince, afford to pay such a high price?

At this moment, he was angry, but more importantly, he was worried. What kind of life in exile was she living, worrying that she would leave the palace? If he were to think about his daughter, would he encounter any danger?

In short, all he could think of right now were these pitiful and unsightly appearances, and it made him wish that he could jump out of the palace and flip the entire Azure Dragon Country.

Lovesick useless, lovesick too bitter, lovesick is to torture people.

If he truly let Xuanyuan Qi know that Xiaoxiao was surrounded by beautiful men, that she was living a good and healthy life, that she was living a carefree life, that even her begging for money was so extraordinary that he would vomit blood.

He wondered if he would faint on the spot after having just thrown himself into true love.

Not long after Xuanyuan Qi left, Eunuch Lin, who was lying beside a dried up well, woke up. Rubbing his aching head, he opened his eyes once more under the blinding sunlight. He crawled on the ground to rest for a while, then slowly stood up while holding onto the well.

Where was he?

Where did the palace go? Where did Pingfei go?

He looked around nervously as a familiar melody sounded by his ear. Suddenly, he stopped and listened attentively.

This melody, right! He had heard this melody before in twenty years. His face was filled with excitement as he ran around the corridor in a panic, trying to find the source of the sound.

As he continued to walk, the sound got closer and closer. It became more and more real. Finally, at the entrance of a courtyard, he saw the pavilion's Madam Pingping playing the zither, and that was where the familiar melody came from.

He walked towards the pavilion step by step. His steps seemed so heavy. It was as if he had returned to the moment when he had first met Miss Susu twenty years ago.

"Pingfei!"

After calling out, he suddenly kneeled on the ground.

"Bam!"

After the sound of a heavy string, Pingfei slowly raised her head. Beneath her messy long hair, her skinny face could be seen. Her shoulders were trembling and tears were flowing down her cheeks.

"Empress!" This old servant pays my respects to you! " Eunuch Lin looked at his with a heavy gaze as he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

After a moment of silence, Pingfei's gaze fell on Eunuch Lin. Still unable to break free from her defenses, she threw his head back and laughed maniacally.

"Empress, this old servant knows that you are not mad, Empress!" Upon seeing her laughter, Eunuch Lin wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said softly.

"You!"

Pingfei stood up and helped Eunuch Lin up from the ground.

Eunuch Lin raised his head as tears streamed down his cheeks. The two of them looked at each other in silence, their eyes expressing the pain they had felt over the years.

"This old servant really can't believe that Miss Susu left just like that." Speaking of Luo Susu, this was the first time Eunuch Lin opened his heart.

"Gone!" Big sister really left, she's gone! " Pang Fei closed her eyes as the scene of that terrifying night appeared in her mind. Even now, she still could not accept the cruelty and viciousness of those people.

Eunuch Lin shook his head vigorously, stubbornly looked at Pingfei and said, "No! "I know Miss Susu must still be here. She's still in the yard, she's been here all this time."

Pingfei looked around. The courtyard was so quiet during the day that it was chilling. She did not know how her elder sister would face the desolation of the rouge hall if she were still alive.

Looking at Eunuch Lin, she said emotionally, "Eunuch, everything is over. Big Sister left, forever. "

"NO!" "No!"

Suddenly, Eunuch Lin seemed very excited. He held onto his wounded chest and said with a face full of tears, "In this old servant's heart, Miss Susu has always been alive. "If Miss Susu hadn't stopped the empress from punishing this old servant, perhaps this old servant would have long been under the Yellow Springs. How could I have been honored to be by the side of the emperor?"

Pingfei's eyes lit up. Her elder sister had never told her this before.

At that time, the rouge palace was the most luxurious place in the palace. Compared to the Empress' and Imperial Concubine Mei's chambers, it was simply of a higher grade. Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor loved his sister the most. There were even rumors that the emperor was going to cripple her and raise her as his successor.

Therefore, if he had been able to curry favor with his elder sister, his future would have been limitless. Meanwhile, Eunuch Lin at that time was only a young eunuch of the imperial kitchens. It was unknown when he had secretly delivered some delicious food to his elder sister. However, every time, he would place it outside the rouge hall.

She remembered that when she went to do some work for her sister, she coincidentally bumped into him at the entrance who was delivering food to her. He smiled and gave her a big bow before retreating without a word.

His heart was kind to such a person who did not seek for power. That was what his sister had said at that time.

The second night after his sister's death, he secretly came to pay his respects with a candle.

She thought that if her sister died, he would never come back. When it was raining, he would come over to take a look as well. He would also often talk to himself about the recent events in the palace, so that she could understand what had happened in the palace.

So it turned out that he had always known that he was not crazy. Those things were not meant for his sister, but for himself.

Finally, ten years ago, he was sent to serve the Emperor. That night, he came to the pavilion late at night with a basket in his hand. He toasted his sister before the moon and excitedly told her the good news.

For the past twenty years, she had clearly seen everything. That was why she would appear no matter when Eunuch Lin appeared. Even if he didn't say anything, he still felt like an old friend.

He did not expect that his sister had always saved Eunuch Lin. She was truly a good person who had repaid him with kindness!

She sniffed and comforted, "Eunuch, don't be too sad. Elder sister's spirit in heaven will watch as those damned people get their retribution."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Lin nodded his head vigorously. Although he did not know who had killed Miss Susu, he knew that all of this had something to do with the Empress and Imperial Concubine Mei.

Suddenly, he thought of Xiaoxiao and could not help but ask, "Oh right! The Crown Princess didn't go out since he came in … Out... "Go!"

Seeing the look in her eyes, Duan Ling Tian felt assured in his heart as well. However, he was worried. A kind person like the Crown Princess was going out of the palace gates, so he wondered if he would protect him.

"The wise man only has the direction of the heavens. I believe that this small path will definitely go well." Pingfei clasped her hands and prayed in her heart.

"Is the Crown Princess …"

Eunuch Lin recalled the words and actions of the princess consort. He frowned as if he had seen the person he missed so much, Lady Susu.

Pingfei nodded her head in gratification. The various signs on Xiaoxiao's body made her completely sure that she was the child of her elder sister, the person she was waiting for.

"Good!" Good! "God bless the princess. She is safe outside the palace." Eunuch Lin was elated as he clasped his hands together and muttered to himself, "If she is really Miss Susu's woman, then the outside of the palace is much safer than the palace. Because if they knew of her identity, they would definitely not let it go! "

As she spoke of the two women, her eyes were filled with hatred. I wonder if they would have nightmares with their hands covered? However, she knew that one day, she would definitely bring back everything that her sister had lost.

She reminded Eunuch Lin, "That day, you told me that the empress wanted to do something to you for something else. I'm afraid that if Xiaoxiao continues to stay in the palace, her identity will be exposed and her life will be in danger. "

"Ai …" What the Empress said was that the palace was fraught with danger. Now that the crown prince and second master were fighting in the open and in the shadows, it was unknown when the end would come. For this matter, the Emperor has been worried everyday, and her hair has been quite a bit whiter these days. " When Eunuch Lin mentioned the empress, her face turned sorrowful. She sighed and continued, "After staying in the palace for most of my life, I have clearly seen the power struggle for the harem. If the princess consort were to marry into the Azure Dragon as the saintly girl, it would mean that there will be a certain amount of conflict between the two of them. "

"Saintess?"

Pingfei shook her head. Perhaps this was the fate of the heavens. There was no way for her to escape. From the very beginning, she was destined to tangle with him in the Azure Dragon Country.

Eunuch Lin looked at Pingfei as if he had some sort of plan in his mind. He told her what he had always thought, "The legendary Holy Maiden of Tianshan has been blessed by the heavens and possesses an enormous secret. Thus, in the view of the Emperor, it was the crown prince's fortune that the Holy Maiden could marry the Azure Dragon, and it was also the Blue Dragon's fortune. At the same time, it was also the biggest stumbling block for the empress, who wholeheartedly wanted Second Master to take her place. Even if the crown prince's wife doesn't have another identity, the empress still won't let her off. "
