Chapter 1382 When will he come back?
Seeing her like this, Aunt Tongyun became anxious.
With red eyes, she said to Ran Xiaoyu, "Your Highness, this isn't right. We need to get the imperial physician to come over and take a look. We need to call someone!"
Ran Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and said, "I'll go right away."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out. Aunt Tongyun was about to ask her to bring an umbrella, but Ran Xiaoyu couldn't wait and plunged into the rain.
She ran out with all her might, and soon she arrived at the gate of the cold palace.
Although she usually had good physical strength and running this distance was nothing for her, she had just run out of a warm room and was wearing thin clothes. She was soon soaked by the rain. At this time, when the wind blew, her whole body was cold to the bone.
She shivered and pushed the door open.
It was already dark at this time. The guards guarding the door were preparing to change shifts. Suddenly, they heard the door open. They immediately turned around and saw Ran Xiaoyu, who was soaked by the rain, running out.
Several people immediately stopped her: "What are you doing?"
"Don't run around!"
Ran Xiaoyu's face was wet with rain, and her eyes were red from the rain. She said, "I want to see the emperor. The imperial concubine is..."
As she spoke, she was about to rush out, but was stopped by several people.
The guards said coldly, "You want to see the emperor? Can anyone see the emperor?"
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned: "What?"
"The Emperor has issued an edict. This is the Cold Palace, not a place to come and go as you please. How can you be allowed to come in and out like this?"
"That's right, you can't go out!"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard them say this, she immediately became anxious.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed through her mind. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I want to see Ye Zheng. Can you help me pass a message to him?"
The guards looked at each other.
One of them said coldly, "Lord Ye? Don't you know that he left the palace a long time ago?"
"What!?"
Although it was already late autumn, Ran Xiaoyu suddenly felt as if a thunder had exploded above her head, which instantly shook her whole mind and heart. She could not believe her ears and stared at those people in amazement.
"What are you talking about? He, he left—"
"Leaving the palace! Gone!"
"Where did he go?"
"How do I know where he went? Is anyone allowed to ask about Lord Ye's whereabouts now?"
Ran Xiaoyu's whole body was shaking.
Usually, when Ye Zheng didn't show up, she hardened her heart and didn't think about him, as if she didn't care about him at all. But as the imperial concubine said, deceiving oneself is the most difficult thing. In her heart, she still wanted to see the Ye Zheng who was smiling in front of her all day long again.
But she couldn't speak.
This time, taking advantage of the imperial concubine's illness, she fought for herself a little. She also believed that even if Ye Zheng didn't want to see her, he would not ignore Nan Yan.
But she never expected that she would get such an answer.
He left and left the palace!
The cold raindrops hit her face, making it numb. She couldn't even feel the cold. She just stood there stiffly. The two guards standing behind her whispered, "Come to think of it, I heard that Lord Ye seemed to have received a secret decree and was sent somewhere."
"Shh, stop talking nonsense, I don't want your head anymore!"
"oh oh."
Upon hearing these words, Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly raised her head: "When will he, he, come back?"
"this--"
Several guards looked at each other.
Facing her like this, they didn't know what to say. After a long while, one of the older and more honest guards said, "It's hard to say. Maybe she'll be back in two days, or maybe she won't come back for several years."
“…”
"Miss Xiaoyu, please don't make things difficult for us. The emperor has issued an order that you cannot leave."
“…”
"Unless it's expensive—"
Before he could finish his words, Ran Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, pushed them away, and ran out into the rain.
Several people were stunned. When they came to their senses, her back had disappeared in the rain.
"What should I do?"
"What else can we do? Chase us! Do you want the Emperor to know that we've neglected our duties and chop off our heads?"
Several people immediately turned around and followed.

Ran Xiaoyu was running wildly in the rain.
The wind was a little bit stronger than before, bringing dense raindrops to hit her face. The coldness brought with it a suffocating feeling, and she felt as if she could no longer breathe.
She gritted her teeth and continued running forward, but she ran around in the palace and was stopped by guards everywhere.
The more anxious she was, the more she looked like a fly with a frown, running around in the rain.
Hot tears mixed with cold rain raged on my face.
Ran Xiaoyu didn't know what it felt like to cry.
From a very young age, she was told that there is more sorrow than happiness in the world, so she has a strong enough attitude and a hard enough heart to face it all.
Si Nanyan was the first ray of warm sunshine she saw in this cold world.
Although she had experienced a lot of pain, she still maintained an optimistic and warm attitude towards everything around her. Ran Xiaoyu envied her kind of mentality. Although she could never reach that level, she was determined to protect her.
It is also about protecting the first, and perhaps the last, ray of sunshine that you see in this world.
At this time, she finally rushed out of the imperial study.
Normally, there are a few guards standing guard outside the imperial study on all sides, but not too many people. But today, a team of Jinyiwei appeared and surrounded the front and back. They all had murderous eyes and looked very fierce.
Suddenly, they saw a man rushing out in the rain. The Jinyiwei immediately became alert and shouted, "There's an assassin!"
"Beware of assassins!"
As soon as the words fell, several figures rushed up.
The Jinyiwei were all well-trained. They immediately drew their swords. In the rain, the swords flashed with a terrifying cold light and slashed towards her.
Ran Xiaoyu dodged quickly and shouted: "No, I——"
But he had no time to speak, and the Jinyiwei people did not give her any chance at all. For a while, the flashes of swords and sabers kept flashing in the rain. Ran Xiaoyu dodged left and right, and several times, she was almost hurt by them.
There were so many people around her that soon they forced her into a corner.
Just when she had nowhere to retreat, a Jinyiwei rushed forward, waving the steel knife in his hand and slashed straight at her.
"ah!"
Ran Xiaoyu let out a low cry, and her upper body suddenly leaned back. The steel knife, emitting a heavy murderous aura, swung across her face.
With a loud bang, the steel knife cut a crack in the wall behind her.
Having narrowly avoided the attack, she quickly stood up.
But as soon as she stood up, dozens of swords were placed on her neck.
