Chapter 1979 [Shang Xie] Why not let her stay
When he returned to the Zichen Palace, Lian Tang felt a little guilty facing Changsun Chi. Fortunately, it was dark at night and no one could see the cold sweat on his forehead.
"I just asked a few general questions about your current situation, and I managed to get through them, but Miss Xia is very perceptive, so I'm afraid she doesn't believe me much."
Chang Sun Chi nodded.
"Don't go there again until the Jinliang envoy arrives at the palace."
He took a sip of wine and continued,
"Has Qingze returned to the palace?"
Lian Tang nodded.
"Just got back today."
"Have him go into the court and leave the palace to watch over Xia Fuyi. He must not reveal his identity. We will make arrangements before the evening banquet."
"yes."
Lian Tang nodded, and when he was about to leave, he hesitated for a moment and said something extra,
"Your Majesty, Miss Xia is a skilled warrior and is on our side. If we let her stay, perhaps..."
Before he could finish his words, Changsun Chi glanced at him indifferently.
That glance was half hidden in the dim moonlight, understated yet chilling and cold, instantly making Lian Tang shut his mouth tightly, with cold sweat running down his back.
He immediately knelt down and bowed his head, saying in a hoarse voice,
"I spoke carelessly, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Chang Sun Chi slowly withdrew his gaze and said expressionlessly,
"Go away."
Lian Tang knelt and walked backwards for a few steps before slowly standing up and turning around. When he reached the window, he couldn't help but look back.
The emperor's tall and thin figure was half hidden behind the screen, and only his long hair and graceful chin could be vaguely seen.
He was raising his hand to drink, his posture was casual and graceful, but it also made people feel the coldness and rejection that made it impossible to get close to him, as if a thick wall of ice and snow was built around him. If you want to get close, you must melt that layer of ice.
Lian Tang couldn't help but think of the girl with red ears who dared not look at people in the night. He suddenly felt a little sad and happy.
Your Majesty has been walking alone in the darkness for too long. On his shoulders lies the death of his parents, the survival of the Changsun family, and the survival of the entire Chiwei.
The rise of Chi Wei is due to the regent.
Chiwei's death was your Majesty's fault.
Fate was so unfair to him. He had never even seen His Majesty smile genuinely over the years. So, it was a good thing to have someone like Xia Fuyi who was willing to risk her life for him, right?
Finally, there was someone who could cheer him up again, and even called Qingze back to the palace after he was released. Perhaps, the situation in the future will be a little different because of this?
Even if it will be a little troublesome and dangerous, it will not be worse than it is now.
Leaping silently above the palace complex, Lian Tang soon disappeared into the night.

The next day was sunny again.
Xia Fuyi found that the father-in-law who came to deliver her food was replaced, but she didn't care much. She just glanced at him casually and sat down to start eating.
Bird's nest and golden porridge, and four desserts, there was nothing strange about it. What was strange was that the little eunuch also took out a white jade wine bottle with a thin neck from the food box and poured half a glass of wine into her cup.
Xia Fuyi raised her eyebrows slightly, but saw that the eunuch also had a surprised expression, although he quickly suppressed it.
Xia Fuyi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The fragrance of peach blossoms filled her lips and teeth. The taste of the wine was very light, but it was just right to wake her up.
She didn't say anything, but the young eunuch spoke first, his voice was thin and cautious.
"You drink in the morning too?"
Xia Fuyi glanced at him. Although she had lived a life of luxury in this palace these days, she could not imitate the ways of the superiors and had no sense of class. Therefore, even when facing a small eunuch, she would answer his questions.
“It’s only available today.”
She gave a brief answer and then asked,
"Aren't you responsible for today's breakfast? Don't you know?"
