Chapter 1439: Sudden Change
is not a fool, naturally knowing that their emperor is fickle and ruthless. When he's in a bad mood, he doesn't care about anything, so Cheng Yongheng doesn't dare to provoke him.He lowered his head...What Ming Deng did and what temper he threw, Zhi Er didn't know, nor did she care.
She soon snuck back into the palace again.
Eyeliner had already told her where the so-called Hua Guifei lived, so after entering the palace, she went straight to Hua Duo'er's palace without any hesitation.
......
After her handmaiden, Xiaohong, was dealt with, Huāduǒ almost never allowed anyone else near her palace.
Especially at night, there is no need for anyone to keep watch.
Tonight the Emperor didn't come, and she was unusually free. Even though it was past midnight, she couldn't sleep. She just sat by her bed, staring blankly into space.
She still held in her hand the little garment she had embroidered that day.
She had known about An Xuetang's pregnancy for a long time, so whenever she was free in the palace, she would embroider some children's clothes.
They come in almost any size.
She loves children, but she's also very clear that she's never qualified to have them in her life. She feels like this... disqualifies her from being a mother.
But knowing that An Xue Tang was carrying twins, she felt truly happy and incredibly envious at that moment.
And she also knew that An Xuetang was not good at needlework, so she figured the various garments needed for the two children could only be made by someone else.
Although An Xuetang had Ninger and the others by her side, they were all like her, more adept at wielding swords and spears than needlework. They wouldn't be of much help in this area in the future.
Anyway, she was idle all day long in the deep palace. So she sewed a lot of clothes for An Xuetang's two unborn children.
Available in various sizes for all ages.
The emperor knew she sewed clothes for children, and thought she was looking forward to his future offspring. So the emperor ordered a lot of fine fabrics from the palace to be sent to her.
In her opinion, An Xuetang's unborn two children deserved the best, so she did not refuse the emperor's gift.
Over these past days, she had used the silks gifted by the emperor to sew hundreds of garments. Every time An Xuetang's people came to visit her, she would have them deliver the clothes she had sewn to the Northern Border Prince's Mansion.
Fortunately, An Xue Tang didn't disdain those fabrics as imperial gifts. She received every piece of clothing sent to her without hesitation.
According to An Xuetang, she wouldn't want such good material, wouldn't she be reaching for the sky
She knew An Xuetang was doing this to ease her psychological burden.
It's also to keep her occupied and distracted.
Xiao Hong's betrayal and departure, An Xue Tang was afraid she wouldn't let go.
But perhaps An Xue Tang underestimated her. Now Xiao Hong might have already gotten the life she wanted, and there's nothing she has to let go of.
After everyone else was gone, she would sometimes find herself wondering what her purpose in this world was.
Now she is no longer willing to send messages to Mo Yunchen. In name, she can act as a spy for the Emperor at Beijang Palace, but she knows very well that Beijang Palace must have its own spies near the Emperor. In fact, her presence is unnecessary.
But where could she go now, having left the palace
Once she left the palace, a woman like her couldn't possibly live at the Beijang Wangfu with a straight face. After all, she wasn't much younger than An Xuetang.
If she lived in the palace all the time, what would she say if people later spread rumors about her relationship with the King of Beijiang
Even though An Xue Tang knew she couldn't possibly do anything to betray her, and believed in her character, others wouldn't know that.
She, a woman with no relation to the Wangfu, had been living there for an extended period. Over time, those with impure hearts would inevitably spread rumors and slander her and the King of Beijang.
She did have a rather unusual face, and she was well aware of it. Otherwise, the self-important emperor wouldn't have taken notice of her at first glance, nor would the former emperor of Lan, Blue Chu Rong, have imprisoned her for so many years.
Think about it, a beautiful woman with no blood relation to the people of Beijiang Palace, living there for a long time, how could she not cause gossip
She had also lived in the Beijang Wangfu before, back then she had occasionally heard the kitchen maids gossiping about her relationship with the King of Beijang.
Although An Xue Tang's people immediately rebuked the kitchen maids' gossip at the time, it was possible to stop everyone's mouths for a while, but what about in the long run How could one possibly silence the endless chatter of the masses
So, she wouldn't be able to move back into the Beijang Prince’s Mansion no matter what.
If she were to stay in Beijing elsewhere, given An Xuetang's personality, she would definitely send a considerable number of people to protect her.
She had already given up and didn't want An Xue Tang to transfer even more scarce manpower to her at this crucial juncture.
Now she doesn't want to cause trouble for the people who truly care about her.
So, leaving the palace, all she could do was leave the capital and go to a place where no one knew her, to start over.
But she also admitted that she was extremely greedy, and she still wanted to see Mo Junyi one last time before leaving.
I really want to see An Xuetang's two children with my own eyes.
There are always a few breezes of humanity, filling my hundred thousand and eight thousand dreams.
These two things were her fantasies, fulfilling her whimsical thoughts about the world and realizing her longings.
She also believed that with the efforts of King Beijang and An Xuetang, among others, what was meant to come would eventually arrive. The glory and beauty of this world would ultimately arrive as promised at some point in time.
Because the person she wants to see hasn't been seen yet, she is not willing to leave just now.
Just as Huāduǒ was about to put down the garment in her hand, her face suddenly changed, and she quickly shoved the garment under the pillow before lying down feigning sleep.
She could clearly feel someone sneaking into her house, coming closer step by step.
Listening to these footsteps, this person is still a skilled light walker.
Huāduǒ'er placed her hands under the blanket, clenching them tightly. If this person made a move, should she fight back
Once she makes a move, she will expose herself, but on the other hand, she thought of the emperor.
The emperor is not here tonight, and yet someone has just entered. Could this be a deliberate attempt by the emperor to test us
After a moment of inner turmoil, Huāduǒ still expected this man to come closer to her bedside, at least first lift the curtain on her bed.
Strangely enough, this person stopped suddenly just about five steps away from the bed.
He turned around and walked out after a while.
Hearing the sound of the person leaving, Huāduǒ suddenly opened her eyes. She took a deep breath and then sat up, looking thoughtfully at the door.
The person had already left. Listening to the sounds, she could tell that this person was quite skilled in light work. Most importantly, the person who had just snuck in should be a woman.
Otherwise, the sound of walking couldn't be so light.
A woman who could perform light acrobatics snuck in when the Emperor wasn't around, during the dead of night. What was she trying to do And who could she be
Mingming was so close to reaching her bedside, yet she suddenly left. Whying about this, Liu Lan frowned, “A Tang, you... what do you mean"“Concubine Liu, to be frank, your acting only works on the Emperor. It's useless in front of me.”"You...""First, let me speak," An Xue...
