Xie Congrong left Xue's house overnight and rushed to the palace.

It was definitely impossible to enter through the main entrance. After all, the palace did not announce that the emperor was missing. If she suddenly appeared and said that she was the emperor, the guards at the palace gate would not believe it.

The guard at the palace gate was not qualified to see the emperor's face, and she had no strong evidence to prove herself.

So, Xie Congrong decided to go to the old place——

dog hole!

When she was a child, if no one in the palace gave her anything, she would crawl out of the dog hole, find some food, and then go back.

In the beginning, the original owner always had some expectations for the emperor in his heart.

She felt that the emperor was her father and there was no way he would ignore her.

It must be that those below deliberately concealed it and did not tell the emperor her actual situation. If the emperor knew that she was suffering, he would definitely die of heartache.

Therefore, the original owner had been holding on to expectations, trying to find a chance to meet the emperor and tell him that he had a beautiful daughter.

But days passed by, and the original owner grew up day by day, but he still could not see the emperor.

It wasn't until the original owner was sixteen years old that she finally found the opportunity to dress up as a palace maid and go to the Imperial Garden.

But her dream was also shattered that day.

She heard the emperor's expressionless expression that he wanted to send the princess for marriage. Even the courtiers were surprised because the marriage partner was an old emperor in his fifties.

But the emperor didn't care at all. He just wanted to consolidate his rights at the smallest cost.

On this day, the original owner clearly realized the emperor's feelings for him and was completely disappointed.

After three days of being sad, she decided to crawl out of the dog hole.

But when he climbed out, he was blocked by a young man.

That man was the prince of Cumin State, and he came to Xuanyu State for friendly exchanges.

She was captured and brought back, crying and making a fuss about not wanting to marry, but the emperor didn't listen at all, and forcefully ordered her to prepare for a marriage, which was cold and terrifying.

and after……

Xie Congrong searched through his memory and found that the original owner was very lucky. Before the marriage was ready, the old emperor passed away.

The original owner's marriage was so gently put down.

Later, the emperor died of illness, and the eldest, second, and third brothers killed each other, and she took over.

"Ugh."

Xie Congrong sighed, squatted down in front of the dog hole, tentatively stretched his hands, and found that the dog hole was still there.

It's said to be a dog cave, but it's actually about half as tall as a man. It's just a remote location, so no one has ever discovered it.

Later, after the original owner was caught here, the place was sealed.

However, after the original owner became the empress, she had people knock this place open again.

Isn’t this coming in handy today?

Xie Congrong leaned down and slipped inside quietly.

The entry went smoothly, she patted herself, grabbed some vines from the side and covered the dog hole, trying to hide it.

However, when he turned around, he saw a pair of cold eyes.

Qikexiu!

He didn't know when he was standing here, his eyes extremely cold.

No, it's so late, what is he doing here? Not sleeping?

Xie Congrong retreated subconsciously, wanting to run away.

However, before he could even take two steps back, the man in front of him came quickly.

His big hands grabbed her collar and said, "You still know you're coming back?!"

Xie Congrong: "..."

Um, why do you feel like an old parent when you say this?

She twitched the corners of her lips and said, "Well, this is my home after all."

"Ah!"

Qi Kexiu sneered, and then took a look at Xie Congrong. When he found that she was still wearing men's clothes, his expression was not good-looking, "Now that you are back, dress well and don't look immodest!"

"Oh……"

Xie Congrong wanted to refute, but thought that he was the target of a strategy, so he endured it.

"I'm going to change clothes now."

Xie Congrong waved to Qi Kexiu, but she didn't expect that he would follow her.

"What are you doing?"

The man beside him didn't answer, his stern face looked fierce.

Xie Congrong pursed her lips and stopped talking.

What she didn't know was that Qi Kexiu had been looking at her from the corner of his eye.

There was surprise, confusion, and joy in his eyes.

But at this moment, he didn't say anything, he just walked quietly with her on the long palace road, as if walking towards the end of the world.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Xie Congrong returned to the dormitory.

She turned around, "I'm here."

"Ah."

Qi Kexiu nodded and walked away expressionlessly.

Xie Congrong breathed a sigh of relief and went in to change clothes.

The maids in the palace naturally came forward and said, "Your Majesty."

There was no unnatural look on their faces, as if they didn't even know she was missing.

Xie Congrong frowned, "Get ready, I want to take a shower and change clothes."

"Yes."

The maids nodded and went down to prepare.

After the hot water was poured into the wooden bucket, Xie Congrong took a hot rose petal bath, and his impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

"I thought I would be repaired by that guy when I came back, but I didn't expect him to let me go so easily?"

Xie Congrong didn't think Qi Kexiu was easy to talk to.

Those who can be sent by the Cumin Kingdom to supervise the country in the Xuanyu Kingdom must not be ordinary people.

But he actually...didn't do anything to her.

Xie Congrong didn't understand. Moreover, the palace was calm and no one seemed to know about her escape.

Could it be that the news was suppressed by Qi Kexiu?

But if so, why would he do this?

And why didn't he capture her and take her back to the palace?

"I don't understand, I don't understand..."

Xie Congrong scratched his head, very puzzled.

At this time, the palace maid's voice sounded outside the door.

"Young Master, Your Majesty is taking a bath, you cannot go in."

"Bath?"

"Yes, Master Young Master."

After saying this, it became quiet outside.

But Xie Congrong couldn't take a bath with peace of mind.

She quickly got up, dried herself, changed her clothes, and hurried out.

Sure enough, they saw Qi Kexiu standing in the hall with a gloomy expression.

The moment he saw her, his eyes trembled, but they soon calmed down again.

Xie Congrong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Oh, there's something fishy!"

He's probably...

Love the original owner!
