"If you don't eat the food on this table, your Ninth Brother might go back on his word." As Ji Lanye spoke, he glanced at the door, seeming to be pointing at something.

Tuoba looked over, but didn't see the guard who had been guarding her door for the past few days. Instead, he saw a piece of clothes that had been accidentally revealed on the side of the door.

Her eyes were red as she muttered, "Ninth Brother...

Seeing that she was about to drop her golden beans again, Ji Lanye sighed and picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table, "Eat, it's going to get cold soon!"

Tuoba's throat was slightly choked with sobs. He looked at the bowl full of veggies and started crying, "Teacher, you mistreated me. Why are you giving me veggies? I want to eat meat, meat …"

Ji Lanye smirked, "You haven't eaten for three days. Eat a light meal to nourish your spleen and stomach …"

"I don't care, I want to eat meat …"

"You can't …"

"Master, you've treated me badly …"

"…"

Tuoba Rui, who was standing at the side of the door, heard the sounds coming from within the room. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and in that instant, he seemed to remember something.

Sun Life Palace.

On the table, there was a small stove that was used to make some tea. In her hands, she wore a set of gloves made of gold silk, and she was familiar with the art of making tea. Finally, she picked up a brocade handkerchief from the table and poured a cup of hot tea for Su mama by her side. "The wife of the loyal Marquis is an expert at making tea. Then he laughed.

Qi Mujing's expression was indifferent. "The empress dowager is too kind. Her wife's tea ceremony is mediocre, how can she be compared with the empress dowager?"

At this moment, Su mama walked down with tea and respectfully handed it to him.

Qi Mujing stretched out his hand to catch it, but there was someone faster than him …

Tuoba Yu swirled the teacup. With eyes filled with evil energy, he smirked and asked, "Is this tea brewed by your grandma?"

The empress dowager looked at an emperor that had suddenly appeared in the Mourning Sun Palace. Her wrinkled eyes were riddled with layers of lines as she laughed, "What? Can't I make tea? "

"Where …" Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes. "Grandson is only pleasantly surprised. Grandson's grandma is really omnipotent …" As she spoke, she moved forward and squeezed by the empress dowager's side. She reached out and took her by the shoulders, bringing her into her arms. She smiled. "So the empress can tell her grandson, what is it that the empress won't know?"

"Haha …" "Bitch!" The empress dowager was comforted by his words to her heart's content, her face full of smiles.

Tuoba Yu also smiled. He took a sip of the tea in his hand, placed it on his tongue, and drank a small mouthful of tea as he praised, "The taste is bitter, but it has been rich and strong for a long time …" "Grandmother's tea is really good, how is this grandson being so talkative …" Her phoenix eyes leisurely landed on Qi Mujing, "If you don't believe me, please ask Marquis Zhonglie, how is my grandma's tea ceremony?"

At this moment, Su mama had already prepared another cup of tea and passed it to him.

Qi Mujing held the cup and took a sip gracefully. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The aroma is pure and the taste is fresh and mellow, but the tea is good. The empress dowager's tea is exquisite, rarely seen in this world!"

"Haha …" The empress dowager laughed again. "Then you'll coax that old woman, This Dowager, to be happy!"

"Where is old? "Let me see …" As Tuoba Yu spoke, he looked carefully at the empress dowager's face and said seriously, "Has the empress dowager eaten some sort of wondrous medicine recently?!"

"..." "Why?" The empress dowager didn't understand as she shook her head. "None!"

"Impossible! If my royal grandmother hadn't taken some miraculous medicine, how could her skin be so good? Even my grandson would be ashamed of himself!" Tuoba Yu replied with a faint smile on his face.

The empress dowager gave a start before realizing that he was just talking nonsense to amuse her. She patted his hand lovingly on her shoulder. "Child, you always know how to amuse This Dowager …"

Tuoba Yu smiled lightly and did not say anything. His almond-shaped eyes remained calm and collected as he looked at Qi Mujing.

He was shockingly thin, and his entire body was shrouded in a dark aura. If he hadn't been watching his changes every day, he probably wouldn't have recognized him at this moment.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes before his gaze finally landed on the person beside him. His eyes were faint and serene, while his thoughts moved about in a deep manner.

Soul Orchid Hall.

Shen Zhi Qiao narrowed her eyes and leaned against the headboard, clenching her fists tightly.

It had been several days since he had brought her back from the Hall of Dawn. That person had never come here once.

His heart was a little empty, a little panicked, and a little guilty. However, he was more afraid …

As she closed her eyes to think, a shadow fell over her head, and her breath was caught by the sweet scent of ambergris.

Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes widened. As expected, she saw that someone she hadn't seen for a long time was staring at her with a heavy gaze. When she looked at him, he actually flicked his sleeve and left.

Shen Zhiqiao's throat was slightly blocked. When he regained his senses, he had already reached out his hand to grab Tuoba Yu's sleeve. With a soft voice, he said, "Tuoba Yu, don't go …"

Tuoba Yu's body stiffened slightly as he looked at her with a solemn expression. The light in his phoenix eyes was unfathomable.

Shen Zhi Qiao seemed to be at a loss. She moved her lips and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Let's talk …."

Tuoba Yu pursed his lips and did not answer her. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he looked straight into her eyes. He was determined to see through her completely.

It had been a long time since he could find an answer, and now that he was being stared at like this, Shen Zhi Qiao felt a little guilty and a little anxious. He said, "Tuoba Yu, let's talk, okay?"

Her eyes were very bright, very clean, and clearly black and white. Even under the dim lighting, they were still sparkling. Tuoba Yu just stared at her, as if he couldn't see enough no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up as he spoke in his usual vicious tone, "Since you're the one requesting to speak with me, then shouldn't the time be for me to decide as well?"

"…" Shen Zhiqiao bit his lips and looked at him steadily.

Tuoba Yu lowered his eyes and stared at the small hand that was still holding onto his sleeve. "I still have something to take care of today. I'll come find you in three days. If you want to talk, then I'll have a good talk with you …"

He shook off her hand and strode out to mourn.

Shen Zhi Qiao looked at his back as he disappeared. His heart felt as if it had been pressed down by a heavy stone. He took a deep breath. Three days. Three days. Three days later, she would go with him …

It was a sunny day.

Shen Zhiqiao moved a chair to a sunlit area near the entrance and sat on it with his eyes closed.

Ever since she entered the palace, when someone prepared all sorts of red robes for her, she had never worn clothes of any other color.

The red made her crystal clear skin as red as a peach, and her lips were a beautiful pale pink. Under the sunlight, they shone with an alluring luster.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, leaving a few strands of hair on top of her chest. Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow her hair up, making her look like a happy watercolor painting from afar.

However, if one looked closely, they would realize that she was not as relaxed as she appeared on the surface. Her brows were deeply furrowed, and her two beautiful willow shaped eyebrows were tightly locked together.

He said that he would talk to her three days later. In fact, it had already been more than half a month since they had met. He had never come looking for her, nor had she gone looking for him …

Nan stood behind her and saw her expression clearly. His brows slightly creased, he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Elder sister …" A sweet and crisp voice echoed from the entrance of the hall.

Shen Zhi Qiao raised his eyebrows, he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from the chair, looking towards the entrance of the hall, seeing a small head poking out of the door, he pursed his lips and smiled, "To the south, invite the princess into the hall!"

He nodded towards the south.

Tuoba Ba walked in behind Nan as well. His pair of large eyes were constantly sizing up the Black Blue Palace, and he would poke his arm from time to time.

Shen Zhi Qiao shook his head and walked forward a few steps to pull her in. "It's still daytime, why are you afraid?"

Tuoba shook his head, "I was still a little afraid when I walked to the door, but as soon as I came in, I noticed that there was another cave, especially that flower room …" She pointed. "Very beautiful!"

After all, she had been afraid of this place for so many years.

"As long as you like it …" Saying this, Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes flashed, and he changed the topic, "Ever since you returned home that day, there has been no news of you, and I'm very worried …" It was only later that I found out that you had been grounded by Ninth Brother … When was the ban lifted? "

Hearing this, Tuoba Hao smiled in a good mood, "It's been resolved a long time ago. Moreover, my ninth brother has already promised me that he will no longer ban my feet."

Even though the price was a bit painful! Eating nothing for three days was even more cruel than beating her up!

"Oh …" Shen Zhiqiao raised an eyebrow. "In my opinion, your ninth brother isn't someone who would compromise so easily. How did you do that?"
