"Your Majesty, the zither is here." It was the soft voice of a father-in-law.

Then, the sound of a zither was heard, one after another, high and low.

Even the emperor can play many songs, but I can't tell when one is higher and the other is lower. It's hard for me to understand the heavenly music, so I forced myself to listen to it, feeling helpless and in pain.

If he couldn't finish one song at a time, then could he just rest and listen to the zither master play?

"Your majesty, I saw a shadow flash outside just now. Could it be that the thief ran away?"

"You still dare to run after listening to my guqin? What guts! Someone, quickly catch him!" With a loud sound, the zither finally stopped playing.

After that, Xia Junchang and his men all ran out of the room. I breathed out heavily. Finally, I didn't have to abuse my hearing anymore and was able to escape. I really have to thank him for helping me out.

He climbed up to the pavilion from the lotus pond and then hurriedly ran out.

It was unknown who had sharp eyes, but he loudly said, "Look, over there."

"Chase after him for me." The domineering voice sounded somewhat excited.

If they really did catch up with him, then he would have to excuse himself. He lifted up his skirt and ran frantically.

Stepping on the rocks, I staggered a bit and even my heel slipped off. When I turned around to see those people running out of the willow forest towards here, I was anxious so I took off my shoes and ran.

Are barefoot people afraid of wearing shoes? Fortunately, I didn't wrap my feet around it. Mother didn't want me to suffer that pain, so I played in the fields more often since I was young. It wasn't like an ordinary daughter who couldn't run away.

The imperial harem was in an uproar as they ran in a circle. After finding the way back, they didn't care about the pain in their feet as they ran towards the Halcyon Gorge.

He did not dare to walk into the front yard. Instead, he went to the back window, which was full of purple flowers, and saw Lu Yao smiling and shaking his head as he bit on his brush.

"Luyao, move out of the way." He ran to the front and rolled over. The edge of the window was covered with water, and he quickly wiped it clean with his sleeve. Then he closed the window.

Looking at Lu Yao's widened eyes, I lowered my gaze to look at his smooth and clean legs and said, "Lu Yao, I've stirred up trouble."

"What's going on? Zhi Qiu, you're in such a sorry state? "

"Did the emperor think I was a thief and chased me here?" I didn't know how to say it, but my heart was still beating so hard that I swallowed a breath and breathed it in smoothly.

"Zhiqiu, you're so bold. You still dare to run away and chase after the emperor?"

"I didn't mean to." I let out a long sigh. "Luyao, where do you want me to be? Is it to confirm what you just said, to make me your concubine? "

She lowered her smiling eyes and shook her head, saying somewhat innocently: "That's not it, Zhiqiu, how could I have that kind of ability. Although my status is not low, I was just a sick child when I was young. I have been to the palace, but if I am familiar with everything in the palace and the whereabouts of the Emperor, that is not something I, Lu Yao, can do. I was back for dinner just now, but a female official came over and asked why we weren't there. I lied a little bit and said you went to the toilet. "I'm afraid that once the female official comes again, I won't dare to go out. If not, we'll suffer a lot."

"He clearly came here, but he disappeared?" The people outside clamored.

"Zhiqiu, quickly change your clothes." Lu Yao turned around quickly and pulled me to the bedside. He rummaged through the closet for the beautiful lady's clothes.

The female official who was holding him said, "To reply Eunuch, this is a room against the back wall. There are only two pretty girls. One is Miss Lu Yao, the other is …"

Before the female official could finish her words, a calm voice interrupted her, "Luyao, it's not her."

"Your majesty, are we still looking for him?" His father-in-law's voice was somewhat terrified.

He snorted coldly, "I'll give you three days. If you can't find that thief, I'll tell you to scram."

As a lowly maidservant of the emperor, she personally went to find an elegant thief, causing chaos. She even asked him if he wanted to look for her. That eunuch really wasn't smart enough.

After a while, the voices outside stopped. I heaved a sigh of relief. "I don't want to go there anymore."

"Hur hur, I was too scared." Luyao made a face.

I chuckled, but didn't say anything. Who was Lu Yao? Even the Emperor seemed to be somewhat familiar with her, but he didn't enter. I couldn't figure out the relationship between the two of them.
