The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 18 Why They Were Arrested
The moon was hanging high and giving a dim light into the building, the current Fengyi Palace looked so mysterious and calm.
Qin Ruojiu put aside the dinner she had not touched at all, then had Lu’Er take her food away.
Lu’Er became worried, “Onspect, you did not have lunch, now do not want dinner. You can get sick, at least eat a little to fill the stomach.”
Qin Ruojiu shook her head, while looking at her who was inside the mirror.
“No need, just take it away I'm not hungry.”
“But..”.
Lu’Er still wanted to persuade, but Qin Ruojiu had already waved her hand to hold him off speaking.
Not long after, all the food on the table had been taken away, Lu’Er was about to leave. Right now, a young eunuch came, as soon as he saw Lu’Er, he asked her to the side in a very small voice. Then whispering something to him, Lu’Er's face changed, from surprised to afraid.
After saying, the eunuch left, Lu’Er pushed open the door of Qin Ruojiu's room, seen the Empress who was taking off her clothes and preparing to sleep, from her eyes, she did look tired and wanted to rest.
“Why?” qin Ruojiu asked as she saw Lu’Er enter hurriedly.
Lu’Er immediately knelt down to beg, “The Empress, Xiao Huan and Yan’er already know their mistakes, please forgive them. I guarantee they will not dare to gossip you again.”
Qin Ruojiu furrowed her eyebrows and was confused when she heard this vague forgiveness, “Lu’Er, what do you mean?”
“The Empress, they are still small, still don't understand anything. Please forgive them. I beg you, I beg you!” Lu’Er who was kneeling while pleading while prostrating, her expression suffered greatly.
Qin Ruojiu, who was about to lie down, sat back down. Then look at Lu’Er seriously, “You explain first. What's with Xiao Huan and Yan’er?
Since Qin Ruojiu's tone was also confused, the kneeling Lu’Er was worried as well, “Didn't the Empress ask Her Majesty to punish the two of them?”
Apparently this was not the order of the Empress, Lu’Er felt a little relieved, she immediately crawled to the side of Qin Ruojiu while clasping her hands, “Empress, I just got word from the young eunuch, His Majesty ordered someone to capture Xiao Huan and Yan’er. Looks like they're about to be put to death, Empress, please help them, they've served you too. Looks like only you can help them.” Lu’Er pleaded with Qin Ruojiu.
Qin Ruojiu knew that Lu’Er was so panicked, that she returned the grip of her hand, “Do you know why they could be caught?”
Lu’Er shook her head, her tears pouring out.
“Is it because their talk this morning reached His Majesty's ears?”
Lu’Er just realized, she was getting scared, “How should it be? what shall I do, Empress? If Your Majesty finds out, they won't be able to escape.”.
Qin Ruojiu thought for a moment, “Quickly, quickly groom me, I will be there soon.”
“Good.” Lu’Er immediately go fetch water in a state of crying.
