The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 229 Must Be Taken Carefully

Will he leave tomorrow? Why is his heart so agitated? There is absolutely no joy of release, no joy of being free.

Instead, that stern and cold gaze instead appeared in his mind from time to time.

Sometimes, he looked at himself with an angry look. Teradamg also hugged her gently and lovingly. His joy, laughter, sadness and anger were all etched into his mind. At this moment in Qin Ruojiu's mind, he thought about it, besides he was still him.

Is it going to go? Was he willing to give up Emperor Zhaolie's kindness on him now? Qin Ruojiu asked herself repeatedly inwardly. Looked into the distance hesitantly. In the end, Qin Ruojiu sighed inwardly, never mind! Wasn't this a decision he had taken a long time ago, no matter what the future would be like, Qin Ruojiu didn't want the person he considered important to be hurt, either, despite having to make sacrifices that would probably make him regret later on, Qin Ruojiu had no complaints. Right, leaving is the best option. Otherwise, if he only wants happiness for a moment, in the future the one who will hurt is himself, will even involve more people.

Not long after Emperor Zhaolie left, Kang Yin asked people to send him a letter, the letter wrote down clearly the perfect time to escape from the Palace tomorrow night, and also some instructions and preparations for Qin Ruojiu. Of course, Kang Yin who was so meticulous was also considering the next arrangement for Qin Ruojiu. After all Kang Yin also understood how much risk he was facing to make Qin Ruojiu go with him like this, and also how much courage Qin Ruojiu had to muster.

After Qin Ruojiu received the letter, she was fixated long enough then burned it. Yes, this thing is dangerous, it has to do with the lives of many people, Qin Ruojiu must handle it carefully.

As the night slowly darkened and the sky gradually dimmed, after Qin Ruojiu and Lu’er finished their dinner, Xiao Huan and Yan’er rushed to clean the dishes.

Qin Ruojiu looked at their busy figure, paused for a moment then turned around, slightly nodded towards Lu’er and said: “Lu’er, say!”

Lu’er nodded, took a step forward with a friendly expression then said to Xiao Huan and Yan’er who were busy: “Xiao Huan, Yan’er, after you guys clear this, come to the Empress's room, on something the Empress wants to say to you.”

After he finished speaking, the two little servants were fixated and stared at each other in confusion. In the end, they nodded in unison and said: “Good Empress!”

The moon was getting higher and higher, slowly hiding among the clouds, except for a few faint candle lights, the surroundings of Fengyi Palace were so quiet and dark.

Qin Ruojiu sat in the main hall of Fengyi Palace, her eyes so tender, staring towards the distance with a slightly melancholic gaze.

At this moment, the obedient Lu’er only gave him a faint glance, pursed his lips then suddenly walked before Qin Ruojiu, calmly saying: “Empress, Yan’er and Xiao Huan have already come.”

Qin Ruojiu then just refocused her daydream.

Qin Ruojiu slowly raised her head, staring at Yan’er and Xiao Huan gently.

The two little girls had lately become much more obedient, they were also getting thinner. Yes, in the Palace, no matter how fierce someone was, they still had to learn how to swallow their anger, swallow it well, otherwise in the end themselves would be hurt.

From this alone it can be seen that their once so innocent and pure personalities have slowly learned how to protect themselves wisely, learning how to behave properly.

Qin Ruojiu couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she saw their change. Fortunately they had grown up, but the unfortunate thing was that at their young age where they were supposed to be naive and innocent, they insisted on being in the palace instead, forced to eliminate that innocence by reality, and eventually they learn methods and ways to survive.
