Beside his ears, Shen Qingtang was excited about something, and he pulled Xue Zhiyi and shook him for a while: "Did you hear that? Zhiyi, why aren't you crying? Even I am moved..."
Suppressing the smile that was hard to suppress, Xue Zhiyi dragged the still-unsatisfied Shen Qingtang away: "Why are you crying? Let's go after you've finished listening, and don't let anyone get caught."
She didn't want to be caught by Huo Wuyou while she was eavesdropping.
Having said that, her steps were much lighter than usual.
…
After returning to the palace, Xue Zhiyi changed into the clothes of the Imperial Attendant of Jianzhang Palace.
When she met the Queen Mother, she didn't have the courage to let her know about their current relationship. From beginning to end, she and Huo Wuyou didn't even exchange glances. After she finished speaking hurriedly, she took her leave, leaving only the two of them, the grandmother and the granddaughter, to talk.
Xue Zhiyi went to see Chai Yue, and Chai Yue was still as caring and considerate to her as before.
"I heard it was a very dangerous trip. Are you injured?"
Xue Zhiyi just shook his head: "I'm fine, sister."
Hearing her name, Chai Yue was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Perhaps it was the years of experience in the palace that made her accustomed to not showing her emotions, so she did not show too much excitement, but her trembling hands betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
"You...know everything?"
Xue Zhiyi couldn't help feeling emotional. Jiang Xu said that his elder sister's temperament used to be very similar to his mother's. Who knows how much suffering she must have gone through over the years that even her temperament has changed.
She originally entered the palace under the identity of a daughter of the Chai family, which was a capital crime. It was much more difficult for her to restore her original identity than for Xue Zhiyi.
Fortunately, she is now a member of the palace, and there are many descendants of criminals working in the palace. Even if she continues to use the identity of a daughter of the Chai family, she will not be implicated by the Chai family.
As for Xue Zhiyi's identity, if he wants to restore it, it is better to find another opportunity. In front of others, they still need to be careful to conceal their relationship.
…
Speaking of Huo Wuyou and the Queen Mother.
According to the results of his discussion with Xue Zhiyi, they did not hide Chai Yue's identity from the empress dowager. Chai Yue has been loyal for more than ten years, and the empress dowager will not hold her accountable for this matter. But even so, she still deceived the empress dowager for so many years. The answer to this question will be left to the empress dowager to decide whether to let her continue to stay in Jianzhang Palace or arrange for her to work elsewhere.
But after all, it is rare to have a confidant, so after some consideration, the empress dowager chose to keep Chai Yue by her side.
But what Xue Zhiyi didn't know was that Huo Wuyou also told the Queen Mother another thing.
"Grandma, I want to marry Zhiyi."
Although she was well prepared, the Queen Mother still choked on her tea: "...Is everything settled?"
"That couldn't be better," he said, "If this is to be accomplished, I'll need Grandma's help one day."
