Chapter 2007 [Shangxie] My sister is also called this name
The kneeling palace maid was startled when she heard the voice, then slowly raised her head.
It was late at night, and the hazy moonlight filtered in from the window pane, turning Xia Fuyi into a jade sculpture from her forehead to her chin and across her entire body. Even her eyes, immersed in the darkness, were so clear and cold that they captivated people, as if she were a god descending from the Moon Palace.
The maid looked at her disrespectfully for a long time, without any reaction until the soldier behind her pushed her head down violently. She came to her senses and before she could say anything, another pair of indifferent footsteps approached from the depths of the hall. She was forced to lower her eyes and vaguely saw a familiar piece of clothing, which was vaguely dyed into a charming and indifferent red by the moonlight. The exquisite dragon pattern on it flashed from time to time as he walked. The maid suddenly became excited. She struggled but couldn't get rid of the soldier's hand. She had to bite her lip and raised her head desperately to look at the person who came.
It was a look of longing and pain, like a withering branch of flowers looking forward to the care of someone it knows.
She slowly uttered the name through her trembling lips.
"His Majesty."
But the person she was looking at was indifferent, as if she was looking at a stranger, with her eyes just glancing at him casually and then passing by.
He looked at Xia Fuyi who was standing beside him and said,
"Why are you running out instead of sleeping?"
Xia Fuyi ignored him. Her curiosity now seemed to be focused on this palace maid whom she had met once before. She repeated her questions tirelessly.
"Who are you?"
The man seemed a little unhappy about being ignored. He frowned, looked at the kneeling palace maid, and said slowly,
"Answer her."
The palace maid then withdrew her gaze and looked at Xia Fuyi again. The night obscured the complex emotions in her eyes, and only a faint reply sounded.
"My name is Fu Yan."
Xia Fuyi was stunned. Perhaps it had been a long time since she had heard this name. All of a sudden, all those childhood memories of relying on each other for survival came flooding back, making her reaction slow.
"Oh... your name is Fuyan too."
Chang Sun Chi looked at her in surprise.
"Whatever you want to say?"
"That's my sister's name too."
Xia Fuyi came back to her senses, looked at the palace maid being held on the ground, and suddenly said,
"Get up."
The soldier let go of the palace maid, and she slowly stood up. Perhaps she knelt too hard, and she staggered when she stood up. Xia Fuyi reached out to support her. Fu Yan looked at her somewhat flattered, but Miss Xia still had that cold look on her face and stepped aside.
Chang Sun Chi frowned and half yawned, then said to the two soldiers,
"Send it back."
Then he pulled Xia Fuyi and turned to walk towards the bedroom, without saying a word to Fu Yan from beginning to end.
Because she used the word "send", Fu Yan was not taken away this time, and she walked out of the gate with dignity.
Before leaving, she looked back one last time.
In the dark hall, the two figures had already walked into the curtains, and she had been going back and forth in this hall for such a long time at night, but she had never been able to go in.
The screen depicting mountains and rivers was still immersed in darkness, but the person who always sat there quietly drinking and listening to her stories would probably never appear again.
Fu Yan turned around and walked out the door.
This was her first time entering and exiting through the main gate of the Purple Palace, and it was also the first time she knew that this palace, which was always silent and dark, was located at the highest position in the entire palace.
