Chapter 1967 [Shangxie] Day 3
His face was expressionless, and his amber eyes were as clear as ever, as if he could see through everything at a glance.
But Miss Xia swallowed her saliva and still gritted her teeth and sent out a dry cry for help.
"It seems I can't go out for the time being. Can you take me in until tonight?"
Chang Sun Chi: ...

This shelter lasted for more than one night.
Xia Fuyi would go out every day during the day and try to leave, but every time she would return to the bedroom in vain, and continue to use a stiff expression to show that she could not get out, as if the person who had entered the palace as if no one was there for seven consecutive days was not her.
Emperor Changsun would always look at her for a while with the same expressionless face, then walk away without saying a word.
After staying in the Zichen Palace for three days, Xia Fuyi gradually began to understand the situation of Changsun Chi and finally discovered many things that were wrong.
The palace maids who entered the palace to serve every day were different and each had their own duties. No matter whether they were delivering clothes or serving meals, all of them were like dumb people, not making a sound from beginning to end. They even kept their eyes on the ground and never raised them.
This is not at all the treatment an emperor should receive.
Rather than being the emperor's bedroom, the Purple Palace looks more like a gorgeous yet sturdy cage.
These past few days, she had been silently listening to the sounds outside and had counted the number of imperial guards coming and going every day, as well as the frequency of the guards' patrols. The hurried and cautious footsteps coming and going were like a finely woven net, silently enveloping the area where the Purple Palace was located, making it difficult for even a mosquito to fly out.
In addition, she also noticed the jars of wine that the palace servants brought in every day.
Ever since she met Changsun Chi, she had never seen Lian Tang again, nor had she seen anyone bring him medicine. Instead, jars of wine were continuously delivered to the hall every day. That was why the entire hall was filled with the strong smell of wine, and Changsun Chi himself even had the aroma of wine in his hair.
This was the third night, and Xia Fuyi was still squatting silently on the beam.
She stared blankly at the man lying on the dragon bed below.
There was no moon tonight but there were stars. Dusk engulfed the entire palace. Inside the tightly closed doors and windows of the Purple Palace, deep in the empty hall, a man rested his hand on his forehead, his black hair spread out beneath him, revealing only half of his beautifully contoured face.
From this point of view, there is even more overlap with Li Chi.
Just as I was daydreaming, I heard a slight sound of a window opening.
Xia Fuyi suddenly came back to her senses and turned to look in the direction of the main hall. There were light and cautious footsteps slowly sounding. Xia Fuyi couldn't help but look down at the man on the bed again.
He still lay there motionless, indifferent to the clear footsteps.
Xia Fuyi, who had heard the footsteps on time for the third day, finally couldn't help it. She jumped off the beam silently and walked out of the bedroom along the wall.
Through a golden curtain, she finally saw the source of the footsteps.
It was a girl with a slender figure, wearing an apricot-red palace dress. She walked very carefully, but in Xia Fuyi's eyes she seemed extremely clumsy.
She walked to the side of the screen and stared at the empty wine jars scattered on the ground for a while, then turned around and looked around the hall. She sighed with some helplessness and loss, and murmured softly,
"It's been three days. Where have you been?"
She glanced in the direction of the bedroom, as if she wanted to come in and take a look, but after hesitating for a while, she didn't dare to do so, so she had to climb out the window in disappointment.
Xia Fuyi was silent for a while, turned back to the bedroom, and jumped onto the beam again.
