Chapter 219 No Storm
Lu Ji'an was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed and tinged with blue. How could he possibly handle this kind of situation on his own? It wouldn't be fatal, so he just had to endure it. Where did Madam Shen get this idea and statement from?
"It should be nearby, search." A voice came from outside.
Chen Heng and Lu Ji'an's expressions changed.
When Chen Heng helped the person out of the cave, a palace maid suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Shining lady. My lord and madam, don't panic. I am Mr. Xie's lady. Please follow me." The palace maid said as she led the way.
Such a coincidence? Lu Ji'an didn't believe it. He didn't expect Chen Heng to support him and follow him. However, at this moment, he would moan as soon as he spoke.
Soon, the two were brought into a side hall, and the two palace maids waiting there saw this and took Lu Ji'an from Shen Heng.
"My lady, thank you for letting me go back to the flower viewing banquet. Everything is as if nothing happened. Don't worry about Master Lu. It will be over soon." The palace servant pointed back to the road leading to the flower viewing banquet and said, "This road is a safe road. No one will do anything to you."
Shen Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had never expected that Ajian even had someone else in the palace. That was great.
After an incense stick of time, Chen Heng returned to the Imperial Garden and slowed down her pace.
There were stringed instruments and music in the hall, as well as singing and dancing.
Outside the hall, there is the fragrance of flowers and the sound of laughter.
Chen Heng would feel that what she had just encountered was like a dream, if it weren't for the cold sweat on her back.
Inside the hall, Xie Jian and Meng Xuanlang were chatting with the adults. On the other side, Liu Xinyue and Peng were chatting and laughing with some ladies. No one noticed her coming in.
Chen Heng sat back in her seat in the corner, stroking her cold forehead. She was about to pour herself some wine to calm her nerves, but when she thought of the Master, she didn't dare drink anymore. Not to mention drinking, she didn't even dare to eat a bite of the food on the table.
She could only look at Xie Jian from time to time, hoping that he would come soon. Then a palace maid came over and bowed, "Madam Xie, Madam Gong invites you to enjoy the flowers."
Madam Gong? Shen Heng looked at Xie Jian again. Madam Gong was with him, so she nodded.
Mrs. Gong was very young, only about thirty years old, and quite pretty. Considering that Mr. Gong was nearly fifty years old, it was obvious that the Mrs. Gong in front of him was definitely not his original wife.
Fortunately, Madam Gong not only invited her, but also surrounded her with several people who kept praising Madam Gong to her, and Shen Heng herself also followed suit.
Opposite to 㦳㱕, the same thing happened on the side of the Shangshu's wife not far away.
The factions in the court can be seen from the wives' small groups.
"Madam." When Xie Jian's voice sounded, he had already come over: "This humble official greets Madam Gong and all the ladies."
"Oh, Xie Jian. Look, our young Master Xie is really a handsome man." Mrs. Gong looked at Xie Jian. Her eyes were not as cold as when she looked at Shen Heng. It seemed that she really liked him.
"My wife is not feeling well today, so I won't be able to stay with you ladies for long." Facing the ladies' stares, Xie Jian was used to it and remained calm.
Amidst the vast crowd of Madam Shen, Shen Heng followed Xie Jian out of the Imperial Garden.
Shortly after they arrived, the Crown Prince and his attendant emerged from Feiying Palace. The attendant looked at the direction they had disappeared in and said, "Your Highness, the army was defeated, and Lu Ji'an is nowhere to be found."
"This woman didn't fall for it. That's quite unexpected." The prince sneered, "Kill Lu Ji'an. He'll only be a hindrance if he keeps him alive."
"Yes. What about this woman?"
"A mere weak woman can't cause any trouble."
"yes."
On the other side, Xie Jian pulled Shen Heng to a corner of the garden and checked if she was injured.
