It was already You time when Fei Wan and Xi Ruo returned to the palace. By this time, the afterglow of the setting sun had already spread to the front of the palace.
The several palace maids waiting in front of the hall looked anxious, and their expressions only eased when they saw Fei Wan.
As the palace maid announced, a person walked out of the hall.
Xiao Heng.
Fei Wan had expected Xiao Heng's arrival.
"His Majesty."
Without waiting for Fei Wan to finish her ceremony, Xiao Heng stepped forward and helped her up.
Xiao Heng smiled gently: "I have said many times that you never need to observe these etiquettes in front of me."
Xiao Heng's gaze fell on Xi Ruo who was standing beside Fei Wan. Seeing the puppy she was holding, a hint of sharpness appeared between his brows.
"What are these palace maids and eunuchs doing? It takes so long to find a dog."
This sentence made all the palace maids and eunuchs kneel on the ground again.
Xiao Heng ignored her. He turned and looked at Fei Wan again. He was no longer furious, but instead looked around Fei Wan. Xiao Heng said in a gentle voice, "If this happens again, I don't have to be with you. Just leave everything to them."
Xiao Heng stared at her: "Wan'er, when you go out later, there will only be one palace maid by your side. I am a little worried."
If an ordinary person were to be so concerned by Xiao Heng's words, they would probably have been blinded by the emperor's tenderness and believed that the man in front of them only loved her.
Is this really the case?
Facing Xiao Heng's affectionate eyes, Fei Wan shook her head: "Ah Heng, you know I'm not used to it."
Fei Wan rejected him. Xiao Heng frowned. He was a little unhappy but he held back and didn't show it: "But you..."
Fei Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled without saying a word. She lowered her head, and lightly brushed his sleeve with her fingertips.
This action startled Xiao Heng. Then the girl raised her head and showed him the magnolia petals she was twisting between her fingers: "Ah Heng, you are so careless that petals are all on your clothes."
Xiao Heng swallowed back everything he wanted to say next.
He looked at the magnolia flowers and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.
He arranged Nan Qingqing to stay in the magnolia forest, but he couldn't stop thinking about her these days.
Before he came to see Fei Wan, he went to Nan Qingqing's place, and perhaps he was stained with magnolia petals there.
Even though Fei Wan knew nothing, Xiao Heng was a little afraid to meet the girl's sincere gaze.
He avoided Fei Wan's gaze and chose to compromise: "It's up to you."
Perhaps it was because of the magnolia petals, Xiao Heng became a little absent-minded afterwards, and even contrary to his usual behavior, he did not stay for dinner, but left after giving a few instructions.
Xi Ruo looked at Xiao Heng's figure and seemed to be relieved.
If we place other people around Fei Wan, it will not be easy to do things when they get out.
Fei Wan curled her lips, asked everyone to stand up, and then turned to enter the hall.
In the State of Song, although the original owner was a princess, she liked quietness.
There are not many palace maids and eunuchs staying in the palace on weekdays, and most of the time, personal maids serve him.
Now in the Xiao Dynasty, Xi Ruo has been replaced by the personal maid, so it is not surprising that Fei Wan keeps this habit.
Xiao Heng understood her, and he had betrayed her first. It was precisely because of this double guilt that Xiao Heng could not refuse her.
Fei Wan entered the inner hall, leaving Xi Ruo alone.
Xi Ruo looked outside and asked in a low voice, "Princess, what should we do next?"
Xi Ruo didn't know where Fei Wan had gone before, but according to Fei Wan's orders, she spread the news that the puppy was missing after Fei Wan came back.
Everyone hurried to look for the dog, but they didn't expect that the dog had been hidden by them long ago.
After some time, the dog was finally released late at night.
Xi Ruo had no doubts and felt in her heart that Fei Wan must have a purpose for this action.
Fei Wan gently rubbed it with his fingertips, and the magnolia petals that had just rested on it fell off.
Fei Wan looked at her: "Do you know Nan Qingqing?"
Xi Ruo was shocked and a little surprised.
Everyone kept it a secret from Fei Wan, even though Xiao Heng ordered them to keep silent. However, Xi Ruo didn't tell Fei Wan not because of Xiao Heng, but out of selfish motives.
She was afraid that Fei Wan would be sad after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Fei Wan took the initiative to ask about it.
Even though she didn't know who told Fei Wan, Xi Ruo still answered honestly: "I know."
Fei Wan didn't look worried as Xi Ruo had expected. Instead, he smiled and said, "I know your ability. Please help me keep an eye on her and tell me if she shows any movement."
Nan Qingqing's body...
Any questions?
Xiruo was a little worried that Feiwan still couldn't let go of Xiao Heng.
Xi Ruo lowered her head hesitantly, but heard Fei Wan say, "I have one more thing I need you to do for me."
Xi Ruo raised her head, a little dazed.
Fei Wan picked up a pen and wrote something, then handed the paper to her: "Spread this news."
