Chapter 283
Lingluo replied without hesitation: "Of course I'll use the body of a fox with beautiful fur after leaving! Hmph, I don't want this human skin!"
Linglu pouted in disgust, but Linlang was lost in thought because of these words.
Yes.
Why did she find the Empress beautiful today?
"By the way, Yuehui found that rabbit. As for its purpose..." Linglu covered her mouth and laughed, "While the purpose was to help Suihui, it was also to prevent her from becoming too domineering in the future, and also..."
Lingluo changed the subject abruptly, "It won't be long before things become unsettled around Her Majesty, and that will be the time for us to leave!"
Linlang knew this, of course. In the past, she was too lazy to expose Lingluo's "smugness," and today she was not interested in it either.
Seeing this, Lingluo had grown accustomed to Linlang's coldness, turned around, lifted her skirt, and left cheerfully.
Once she leaves the palace, she's going to go to the mountains and forests to eat chicken to her heart's content!
She would then run wildly, showing off her glossy, beautiful fur to those stupid foxes who hadn't yet developed any intelligence!
On the other side, Lingwu gazed at the pillow on the other side.
These dumplings won't come every day, will they?
Lingwu recalled her body's resistance to the furry things and reminisced about what happened back then.
As a child, Su Lingwu often went to play in the mountains. It was clearly not winter yet, but heavy snow fell from the sky. In addition, she suddenly heard a huge sound of the mountain collapsing and the earth splitting. Su Lingwu was so frightened that she had to go down the mountain.
On her way down the mountain, she heard intermittent whimpers from animals. She mustered her courage and went forward, where she saw several furry little cubs.
The little ones lay on the snow, all injured and pitiful, unable to even stand up.
Behind them was a cliff that had suddenly collapsed, and it looked like it was about to collapse further.
Su Lingwu didn't care about anything else and ran to take the group of little ones to safety two by two.
But when she was delivering the last rabbit, the mountain collapsed at her feet!
Then Su Lingwu fell into a coma. When she woke up again, not only was the baby gone, but the wind and snow were also gone, and the mountain that had suddenly collapsed was also gone.
Five-year-old Su Lingwu only remembers the fear and helplessness of the mountain collapsing beneath her feet.
The next day, after Lingwu woke up, Linlang served her with a mixture of unease and familiarity.
After breakfast, Yuehui knelt outside the palace, blaming herself. "Your Majesty, I went to feed the rabbit today, but it hasn't opened its eyes and is still fast asleep."
She appeared worried, but was actually quite confused.
She did put it to sleep yesterday, but it should have woken up this morning.
Ling Wu thought of how the rabbit looked last night and waved her hand, "It's alright, it should be related to my visit last night. Just take good care of it."
For the next few days, the rabbit still did not wake up, so Lingwu went to see it herself.
As soon as she touched it, she saw that it showed some signs of waking up, so Lingwu withdrew her hand.
"Your Highness, you and this rabbit are truly destined for each other. It woke up as soon as you arrived," said the young palace maid who was also taking care of the rabbit, overjoyed.
Yuehui and the others glanced silently at the little palace maid, but seeing a slight smile on Lingwu's lips, they suppressed their own thoughts.
"Your Majesty is so kind that even this uncivilized little animal... the little rabbit, is fond of you!" Linglu praised without any restraint.
Before Linlang could speak, Yuehui smiled knowingly, "Your Majesty is indeed kind-hearted."
It was that single-minded kindness that blocked the tribulations they faced back then, and then took away all their spiritual power...
With her spiritual power protecting her, the little girl was unharmed when the mountain collapsed, thinking it was all a dream.
Linlang gave Yuehui a complicated look.
Linlang: Back then, the Empress was just a child.
Moonlight: I know.
Linlang: So don't blame Your Majesty, Your Majesty is indeed kind-hearted.
Moonlight: I know.
Linlang: If Her Majesty knew, she definitely wouldn't have done that.
Yuehui: ...Why have you been calling her "Your Majesty" all the time these past few days?
Linlang pretended not to see and followed Lingwu away with her head down.
Feeling utterly bewildered, Yuehui glanced at the rabbit, a gentle smile on her face, and reached out to pinch its ears. "Good boy, don't sleep, eat some carrots before you sleep."
The rabbit struggled and made a "whooshing" sound.
Yuehui still wore a doting smile: "Your Majesty can't be by your side every day, so be good, or... I'll strangle you."
The young palace maid looked up at Yuehui in a panic, only to see that Yuehui's eyes were filled with tears and tenderness. She then patted her chest and turned to get the radish.
She must have misheard; Miss Yuehui is the most gentle and virtuous person in the entire palace.
But when she turned around, the struggling rabbit saw the cold face of the moonlight.
"Go find Sui Sui tonight and awaken her memories." Her voice was soft, but it rang like thunder in the rabbit's ears.
When the palace maid returned, Yuehui picked up a radish and gently offered it to the rabbit's mouth.
As night fell, the rabbit disappeared from the side hall of Chonghua Palace, and a man in a snow-white robe appeared in its place.
The moment he appeared, Ling Wu opened her eyes.
Looking around, none of the three furry creatures came tonight.
Ling Wu got up and put on a cloak, her black hair falling down to her calves, her small face hidden in her dark hair.
She hadn't walked more than a few steps when she saw palace maids and eunuchs lying on the ground inside the hall, and even when she got up, they didn't disturb her.
However, their chests were still heaving, so they seemed to be out of danger and Lingwu didn't let her mind wander.
Pushing open the palace door, a bone-chilling cold seeped into her body through her bare skin. Lingwu pulled her cloak tighter and walked toward the place where she sensed something was wrong.
"Are you my savior?" the man asked gently, his tone soft and affectionate.
Lingwu turned around and saw a man in a snow robe standing on the snow, his black hair tied up high and the corners of his eyes red.
"Is their fainting related to you?" Ling Wu did not answer his question directly.
This body also contains the cultivation needed by the furry creatures, so she is not worried about getting hurt.
What's more, the rabbit is still looking for its savior.
The man in the snow-white robe seemed to be blaming himself, "It was my doing, but it wasn't my intention."
Ling Wu pulled her cloak tighter. "So, someone is behind this. Since you're trapped, why don't you tell me who's behind it? Perhaps I can save you from your predicament."
Seeing the woman's pale lips, the man in the snow-white robe flicked his finger, and a ball of red light flew towards her.
Seeing this, Lingwu took a step back, and the ball of light disappeared in front of her.
The man in the snow-white robe didn't continue, but instead explained, "I just wanted to warm you up, I meant no harm. I wasn't acting under orders, I just... wanted to find my savior."
Lingwu let out a breath, wondering if the rabbit had also asked Su Lingwu about it.
But it's one thing for a grown man to appear in a woman's palace, yet he only talks about finding his savior and nothing else.
"What are the characteristics of your savior? I can help you find him within the palace tomorrow."
The man in the snow-white robe said somewhat shyly, "I know what she smells like."
“…” Ling Wu pursed her lips.
She suddenly seemed to understand why Su Lingwu was so desperate to kill him.
