C142

Shen Zhi Qiao returned to the Soul Orchid Hall, but he wasn't in the south, so he didn't know where Rose Huan went.

She walked to the greenhouse and sat there in a daze.

She thought at first that he would not allow her to sleep with him, because Tuoba had previously said that he had never touched any of the women in the imperial harem, although she had no idea how he had done it. He would not touch any of the concubines in the palace or let any of them complain.

However, what she did not expect was that he actually agreed to it in the end.

She wasn't worried that he would really go to Venerable Su's palace. She didn't know why, but she felt that he wouldn't go, but her heart still felt like a rock that had been stuck in a well.

She believed that he really did like her, and she was becoming more and more attached to him. But between the two of them, besides a concubine and the empress dowager, there was also the empress dowager.

The empress dowager didn't like her from the start, or else she wouldn't have allowed Xiangnan to follow and monitor her every move.

If it was like what Chen Shuzhi said before, letting her know about what happened before she entered the palace, letting her know that she was once Qi Mujing's abandoned wife, and that she, the abandoned concubine whom others did not want, was now picked up and doted upon by the Emperor, how would she deal with her?!

It was obvious that the empress dowager really doted on Tuoba Yu, so she was very perturbed. Ever since she decided to be with him, she had been worried.

She knew that the paper could not contain the fire, and Shen Shuizhi hated her so much, but even now, he still had not made a move. She was simply unable to guess what she was going to do next.

Also, there were so many women in the Tuoba Palace. Even if he didn't touch any of them now, she was still six years old. It was said that women aged after 25 years old, and men aged after 30 years old would truly be charming.

He was the Emperor. In the future, he would encounter all sorts of beautiful and pure women, and even if he didn't provoke them, there would still be many people who would take the initiative to stick up for them.

She really didn't have any confidence. He really could do it with just her. He wouldn't give up on her when she was old and decrepit …

Alright, one last thing was her greatest worry. Even if she didn't know when the storm would break, as long as he was around, she wouldn't be afraid. At most, she would be able to deal with it.

She was afraid that even if she gave her heart back, she wouldn't be able to exchange it for the happiness she wanted. That kind of pain, she really didn't want to suffer it again.

Shen Zhi Qiao closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. He fell onto the bed in the flower room and stared at the sky with his eyes wide open.

When Rose walked in with a feather duster in her hand, she was shocked to see her like this. She thought that she should be at the Dragon's Nest right now …

Swallowing his saliva, he carefully said, "Miss, you're back!"

Without turning his head to look at her, he casually asked, "Where is the direction to the south?"

Rose shook her head, "This servant doesn't know, this servant hasn't seen any sign of Eunuch since last night."

Last night...

Shen Zhi Qiao knitted his brows but didn't say anything.

Originally, Rose didn't want to clean the flower room, so she decided to just leave. She took a big blob from the bedroom and walked in before covering her with it. "Miss, be careful not to catch a cold. Your majesty will feel heartache."

Shen Zhi Qiao stretched out his hand to grab the big demon on him, and his bright eyes turned to Rose and asked, "Huan'er, how old are you this year?"

Rose froze for a moment, then smiled sweetly at her, "Miss, I'm 14."

"Fourteen …" Shen Zhi Qiao heaved a long sigh. "That's great!"

She had never felt old at twenty-two, but when she compared herself to a girl of fourteen, she suddenly felt so old she lost her teeth.

She stared at Rose, not sure if it was due to the effect, she felt that her skin was soft and watery, but touching her skin was dry and dry, she was already 22 years old, in a few more years, wouldn't she turn yellow from old?!

Rose's face was thin, and under her gaze, her face immediately turned as red as a monkey's butt, and she stammered, "Miss, your servant will first instruct the kitchen to prepare lunch."

After saying that, he ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Previously when Rose saw Shen Zhi Qiao, she was as timid as a mouse, but ever since Shen Zhi Qiao had kept her by his side, they had gradually gotten to know her temperament, and her courage gradually grew. Occasionally, she would joke with her, but this time, she dared to ask her permission to run off on her own.

Shen Zhi Qiao stared at her back view as she left, his eyes filled with increasing envy.

At lunchtime, she casually ate a bit and had no appetite.

Even after she bathed in the night, a certain someone did not come to the Divine Orchid Palace to look for her. She couldn't help but suspect that he had really gone to Venerable Su's palace.

How could she not be able to sleep while lying in bed? Was she being too hypocritical?!

These days he slept in his warm chest late at night. Once he was alone again, he always felt that something was missing and his heart was empty.

Just as she was feeling restless, a creaking sound came from outside the room. Shen Zhiqiao's heart stirred, and he almost immediately sat up from the bed and walked out of the room.

But when she stepped out of the room she saw nothing but the dim coal lamps hanging in the corridor, and a cold wind came up, so cold that she hugged her arms and curled her toes, and found that she had come out in her nightdress, and had forgotten to put her shoes on.

He smiled bitterly. It was true. He really did care. That was why they thought that he had come and that he would run out in such a hurry.

Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes reddened. She squatted on the ground and hid her head in her chest. It was unknown what was so cold about her. Her frail body couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, a heavy object accurately hit her bare toes. Shen Zhi Qiao almost cried from the pain, but he still didn't stand up from the ground. He also didn't raise his head. He bit his lips and sharpened the blade in his heart.

In the entire palace, other than some foreigners, who would be so bored?

Someone walked in front of her and kicked her. "Are you still alive? Squeak!"

"…"

The person who came clicked her tongue and threw another item at her. This time, it directly landed on her head.

Shen Zhi Qiao closed her eyes and rubbed her head, which was hurting from the hit, turning grief into anger. She stood up and shouted, "Ji Lian Ye, why don't you just vaporize it? You won't dissipate, you bastard!"

"…" Ji Lian Ye seemed to be prepared to smash something into her again, but when he saw the moisture in the corner of her eyes, he stopped. He twitched his mouth, frowned, and said in a rough voice, "The one being scolded is Young Master, what are you crying for?"

But the one being smashed is me!

Shen Zhi Qiao was in a bad mood. Her eyes were bulging and she was feeling uncomfortable. She didn't want to waste her breath with him. She angrily turned around and walked into the room. She raised her hand and prepared to close the door.

However, the next moment, a hand directly grabbed her hair from behind and dragged her out. Then, her waist tightened and a gust of wind blew over. She had already been placed on the roof by him.

Shen Zhi Qiao's mind was in a mess for a few seconds. When she finally reacted, she roared at Ji Lian Ye, who was sitting leisurely next to her, "Ji Lian Ye, if you want to mess with people, don't come here. I'm not in the mood to play with you. Let me down!"
