Not only that, what made Yin Fufeng’s heart ache even more, was that Hu Xiao slowly lifted up the blanket that was covering her body.
Under the blanket, even an ordinary person would have been able to tell the problem. There were some swollen legs, seemingly unable to exert any strength, as well as some criss-crossing scars.
"Empress, this humble subject had thought that Empress did not have any superficial wounds."
The voice became lower and lower, as to how he treated Hu Xiao just now, and how Hu Xiao treated him.
I don’t know why, but a certain Japanese palace suddenly felt that something wasn’t right and became like this. It’s precisely because of this that I haven’t returned to the palace, and for the sake of adding to the problems for His Majesty, and even allowing some people the chance to take advantage of it, I might as well just peacefully stay at the relay station by myself.
If Yin Fufeng did not see Hu Xiao’s well-covered legs just now, she would not have believed Hu Xiao’s words. But at that moment, Yin Fufeng only felt endless pain.
Not knowing what to say, what Hu Xiao had said was indeed the best solution at the moment, but Yin Fufeng felt that Hu Xiao should not have been like this. She should not have been left alone at the inn despite suffering such heavy injuries.
However, Hu Xiao herself didn’t seem to complain at all.
"Forget it, what is Master Yin blaming himself for? It’s not his fault if he doesn’t know. But now that I’m going back, is Master Yin going to do as he pleases?"
Lu Qinghe, who had looked over who knew how many times, was already very anxious. Hu Xiao felt that if she did not go over soon, that person would probably run over and grab him.
"This humble subject will return to the palace and report everything to Your Majesty, including Empress’s wishes."
Yin Fufeng said slowly after giving a deep glance at Hu Xiao. Naturally, he couldn’t see Lu Qinghe who was waiting nearby either. She slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and left.
This Lu Qinghe was in quite a good place.
He smiled as Zhi Lan pushed him towards Lu Qinghe’s direction. However, a bright light flashed across his face the moment he turned around and lowered his head.
On the other hand, Lu Qinghe had an ending point. Only after sending Hu Xiao to the relay station and ensuring her safety did she feel at ease to leave.
Within the palace.
"Pa!"
The last few days, Qin Shuo had been extremely easily angered, but his temper had left just as quickly. But the him today, he felt as if a storm was brewing.
"What did you say?"
It was already strange that Yin Fufeng would come to find him at this time, but what truly infuriated Qin Shuo was the words that came out of his mouth.
"Yin Fufeng, what do you mean by this? The empress is heavily injured right now, but as the husband of the empress, I can’t rashly go? "
These few days, Hu Xiao’s condition was extremely good, but there was absolutely no sign of Yin Fufeng returning. To think that she actually saw that her own two legs looked to be extremely injured, and that she could only rely on her wheelchair to barely walk?
"Your Majesty, the fact that even the capital did not want to return to the palace today means that Your Majesty does not wish to see you right now. Moreover, the Imperial Palace is currently in a state of internal and external trouble, so it would be better for me to let that small world at the relay station go to safety."
How could he not understand Yin Fufeng’s words? However, it was precisely because he understood that caused him to be extremely angry, and he was actually unable to protect a woman!
It was the first time that Qin Shuo had felt so rude, as the great Son of Heaven, who was actually powerless against him, had actually also been able to do so.
"Whatever, let her be."
Since Hu Xiao was not willing, if she continued to struggle, he was afraid that she would only end up with a two versus two grudge.
He heaved a sigh of relief, found an opportunity and left.
At the relay station.
"Zhi Lan, you should know about Yin Fufeng’s attitude towards us today. I plan to leave tonight, stay behind to deal with any sudden situations, I will return right away."
In the end, Hu Xiao still felt that she had dropped Zhi Lan. If the shadows saw that Zhi Lan was still around, they would definitely not suspect that she had left.
"Empress you, you actually don’t plan to let me go together with you?"
So what’s she doing with the luggage? Only a buzzing sound could be heard in his mind, and only Hu Xiao’s opened and closed lips could be seen.
"Zhi Lan? Zhi Lan, listen to me, I am secretly leaving this time, if I bring you with me too far, furthermore, I can protect myself well, your mission is to stay at the relay station, to stop those who want to visit me, and to delay the capital until I return. "
was slightly taken aback. Even though he paused for a moment, he forced himself to say all of his thoughts.
Even though Hu Xiao’s words were reasonable and well-founded, Zhi Lan still could not help but feel uncomfortable, and was extremely worried that she would go alone.
"Ahh, there’s no need for you to do that. Don’t worry, I will definitely return."
He grabbed Zhi Lan tightly, turned around and jumped out of the window. The sound quickly disappeared into the night and Zhi Lan was the only one left in the room.
It was unknown whether it was because of Shadow Guard’s self-confidence or because Hu Xiao’s acting was very good, but there was actually no one watching over the windowsill. Hu Xiao’s journey this time had been abnormally smooth, and under the night sky, it would not be excessive to say that her figure was alone.
At least he was able to completely leave the Imperial Palace as he had thought that day. Although there would be a day where he would return, it still wouldn’t be enough to stop Hu Xiao’s extremely willful smile.
Hu Xiao’s method of shedding the shell of the Golden Cicada was extremely effective, even when she stumbled to the border post office, no one suspected that Hu Xiao had already left.
As they got closer to the realm of the South Yue, the shock in Hu Xiao’s heart increased. Most probably, the women who had assimilated or worshipped South Yue became more and more valiant, and were not one bit inferior to men in any way. This was what Hu Xiao wanted to tell the women of East Court.
Women didn’t need to know that there were only three ways to deal with the four virtues. More importantly, women should be able to stand on their own two feet.
It was already the fourth time that she had seen a man seeking death and a woman being beaten to the ground on the roadside. Finally, Hu Xiao managed to arrive at the place where the Earth Realm met with great danger.
Before she managed to get far, Hu Xiao turned around and stood at the side with interest.
It wasn’t a big deal. He just felt that if he didn’t turn around, he might miss a good show.
Just now, this little girl was being held captive by a few big men. She was flustered and didn’t know how to go about it, while running into the alley that she seemed somewhat familiar with.
After exchanging glances with each other, they followed closely behind her. The excitement on their faces could not be concealed no matter how much they jumped on top of the walls. They looked with amusement at the few people who were running around the alley like rats who had seen a cat.
