Chapter 60 Leaving the Palace

On this side, Si Linglong came out of Xuanzheng Hall and returned to the side hall of Linghua Hall.

I informed Shu Hong first and asked her to make the arrangements.

Since Si Linglong traveled through time, Shu Hong and Zhu Sha have been following her.

To know whether a person is capable, you can't just listen to what she says, but also look at what she does.

According to Si Linglong's observations these days, Shu Hong is the kind of person who is very good at doing things quietly.

Zhu Sha would say that she coaxed her master on a daily basis, but would put on airs in front of her subordinates. She had a rather flamboyant personality, so when Si Linglong heard that she was planning to betray her master, she was surprised but not shocked.

On the other hand, Shu Hong is introverted, she doesn't talk much but does a lot, and she is cautious and well-behaved. It is very worry-free to have such a person around.

"Tell her to take all her things, including the rewards she has received over the years, with her. Also, help me pick out some decent jewelry from the storehouse, and take out 80 taels of silver, as my advance dowry for her."

Si Linglong said this, and seeing Shu Hong looking at her in a daze, she thought she was unbalanced, so she added a promise, "When you are old enough to leave the palace and get married, I will prepare more dowry for you than this."

Shu Hong didn't expect her to suddenly mention this, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked, but she still looked respectful, "Sir, I don't care about these things."

She was just an accident.

Shu Hong agreed with Si Linglong's decision to send the person out of the palace.

After all, Zhu Sha had followed the nobleman since the mansion, and he was very familiar with her. If he no longer wanted to use such a person, there was no way he would let her stay in the palace.

Either make her disappear, or release her from the palace and hand her over to her family for punishment.

At least that's what the ladies in the palace do.

What Shu Hong didn't expect was that when Si Linglong said she wanted to send the person out of the palace, she really intended to do so properly and even gave her such respect.

"I just didn't expect that you would be willing to treat Zhu Sha like this after she treated you like this."

Si Linglong didn't think there was anything wrong.

Perhaps it was because she never considered Zhu Sha as her own from the beginning, so naturally she didn't feel betrayed.

Si Linglong knew that Zhu Sha had a problem, but she usually didn't bother with her because she thought that she was someone left behind by the original owner.

I don't bother with her now because I think it doesn't matter.

After all, no matter whether it is her current body or the one she owns, it all belongs to the original owner. As long as the other party does not really touch upon any principled issues, Si Linglong can ignore it.

"Just consider it as the end of the relationship between master and servant over the years. Once you leave the palace, you won't see me again in the future."

Si Linglong spoke casually, but Shu Hong's heart was slightly moved when she heard it.

Serving in this palace, it is important to be favored by the master, but in her opinion, a master with humaneness is more important.

Because only people like this are worthy of being followed by their subordinates.

In the past, Shu Hong just treated the person in front of her as her master and served him as long as she didn't make any mistakes. But at this moment, she wanted to follow the person in front of her seriously.

Si Linglong was unaware of Shu Hong's change of mind. After explaining the matter, she ignored it.

On the other side, Zhu Sha, who was still recuperating leisurely, was completely stunned when he heard that Si Linglong was going to send him out of the palace.

The first reaction is disbelief.

"How could the noble let me leave the palace?! Is it you who took advantage of my absence to say bad things about me to the master! I want to go find the master!"

As he spoke, he was about to look for Si Linglong.

Shu Hong was prepared. Two maids came forward and held her down. Then she spoke.

"Your thoughts towards the Emperor are nothing short of treason. The Emperor is still willing to let you go because you have served him for many years. But if you want to make a big fuss, don't forget where this place is. If the Emperor's men hear you, they will come over and give you fifty lashes and throw you out of the palace. Do you want to be sent out of the palace in a dignified manner or be thrown out like a wolf? It's your choice."

Shuhong's tone was not harsh, but it made Zhusha, who was about to make a lot of noise, calm down instantly.

Zhu Sha felt guilty when he heard his thoughts exposed.

But she didn't expect that Si Linglong was so cruel that she wanted to drive her out of the palace directly.

She is the one who grew up with her since childhood.

"No, how could she do this to me..."

Zhu Sha murmured something but didn't dare to say that he would go to Si Linglong to beg for mercy.

Because even she knew that she would definitely not have room for herself anymore.

As Shuhong said, the fact that she can leave the palace with dignity now is already a sign of her master's tolerance towards her.

But she was unwilling to give up.

She had seen the wealth and power within the palace walls, but was called back to ordinary days.

How could she bear to do that?

But no matter how reluctant I am, what else can I do?

Zhu Sha finally resigned herself to her fate and packed up her things under the supervision of the nanny, and then walked silently towards the outside of the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.

What she didn't know was that just as she was being led out of the Linghua Palace gate, a pair of eyes in the dark were staring at her closely.
