C58

Although the empress Dong Ziqing had grown up in an influential family since she was young, with some servants to serve her while she ate and slept, she was not considered a very expensive person. After so long, she had developed some good habits, and was not someone who had been living in the inner chambers of the mansion for so long.

At this moment, the dark clouds above the palace finally parted, revealing a ray of light from the seal. Although the palace doors were no longer as free as they were before, there were still no imperial bodyguards outside, as the emperor's spies would still be able to disturb them when they left under the sun.

On the rattan chair, the jade figure extended her fingers that were as white as scallion and slightly held a pair of clear glass-like eyes …

The faint smile did not appear on her elegant and refined face for a long time. Perhaps it was because she felt bored after being under the rain for almost a month, so she stopped. What else was there for her not to see?

"The rain always stops that day, but what about the trauma in my heart? "It should be able to heal, right?"

It can't be, the empress Dongfang Ziqing said to herself quietly, her cherry lips slowly closing.

"Pearl!" Has there been any news coming in from the outside these days? Tell me about it. "

The corners of her lips curled up in a lazy smile. Perhaps the taut strings in her head were a bit too heavy, or perhaps it was a bit too tight. Finally, there was such a sunny day, allowing her to walk around and bask in the sun for a few days could be considered letting go of the burden she had been carrying for a few days.

"Reporting to the Empress, our palace is a little too tightly sealed. The gossip outside came all the way here for no reason at all, so how could there be any news so quickly?"

Pearl nibbled her lips and clasped her hands together as she brought the tribute to the empress. There was a handkerchief that had been distributed to the empress, the golden one, the one that was infuriated by the sunlight. It wasn't bright at all, but it was still a bit eye-catching to the pearl as it watched its mistress, the empress Dongfang Ziqing, wither away like this.

"Hehe, don't be anxious and sad. I can't blame you for this. If you really can find out any news, I would be very surprised. Don't you think, hehe, if there's nothing else, please sit down with me. I don't know how long this will last. "

The empress Dongfang Ziqing waved her hand gently, interrupting Pearl's guilty words to comfort her. Everyone had their difficulties, but why hadn't he discovered them before? Or was it that she had been more willful before? Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Empress, don't worry too much. I reckon that it won't be long before we pass through and receive this news. You should know that there will always be people from our palace helping out.

She watched her master seal her in his heart. What could she possibly be happy about? The only thing she could do was to be able to help, and she had already made up her mind. If that day ever came, she would probably be able to sleep with her master.

Perhaps this was what the other sisters in the palace said about freedom and the right to life and death, but Pearl wouldn't. Since she was born to follow her master, even if Pearl died with her master, she would be willing to follow him.

At this time, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly, quietly looking outside the tall palace wall. Perhaps the leaves on the top of the wutong tree could compare in beauty to a free sparrow on the outside, but in the end, they were still free. Even if they were looked down upon, they could still make peace, or at the very least, do something that they wanted to do.

Right at this moment, the door, which had been silent for a long time, unexpectedly opened, along with a creaking sound. The door of the palace was pushed open with a loud creak, and a lot of heavy carriage wheels came in from outside.

"Who is this?"

Dongfang Ziqing, the empress, knitted her brows, looking at the pearl with a puzzled expression as she asked in a soft voice.

"This servant doesn't know. Ever since that incident, there has been no one that has entered this place other than the Emperor. Who else could have come? Moreover, it seems like this carriage is filled with many things."

As she spoke, Pearl's eyes suddenly lit up. After blinking a few times, she made plans for the empress Dongfang Ziqing to grab hold of her hand while she spoke. After she sized up the people around her and the imperial guards that the other ministers had sent over, she realized that she was still safe, so she extended her finger and started tracing a line in the empress Dongfang Ziqing's palm.

At first, the empress Dongfang Ziqing was a little surprised. How could Pearl so boldly seize her hand? Didn't she know that I was still the empress of the three palaces and six courtyards? The next moment, he felt a slight itch in his palm. Only after a careful examination did he realize what it was.

It turned out that only once every half month would the buyers arrive in the palace. That meant that every half month, the public would take out all the food they ate and wear for the past month and a half, and send a sufficient amount of the food to each hall in proportion, only once every half month.

Half a month ago, on the day of the incident, when there was a buyer who had yet to go out, Pearl used him, gave him some instructions, or was a spy in the palace, and made him some money. The eunuch, who was in charge of overseeing the matter, repeatedly agreed, saying that he would definitely do as he said, without any negligence, to take the advantage of the transaction once. After counting the days, Pearl thought that the young eunuch would arrive in a few days, and now she really had come to knock on the door.

How could he not be happy?

The two of them began to chat in secret under the watchful eyes of the various forces that had brought them here from outside the palace.

"Hey, who are you? Have you all opened the door and entered the palace without a command medallion? Don't you know that this place is already banned? Without the emperor's order, you can't even care who comes in and put them in here. What's going on? Don't say you don't even want that head?"

A imperial bodyguard with a saber across his back stood out and pointed at the group of people who were trying their best to move back and forth between the Yi Palace's carriages. He shouted with a serious tone and a sense of authority.

"Yo, just look at what you're saying. Aren't we all here for the sake of the emperor? No one wants to disobey the emperor's orders, but we don't have anything to do with the matters of the palace. We're already out of the palace in half a month, who knows what kind of things might happen in the palace. It turned out to be fine! What do you think we should do? "
