Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

When Shen Yao heard that Lu Lingchuan was coming, her face was filled with fear.

For Shen Yao, being captured back to the palace was such a terrible thing!

Not only would the Queen Mother continue to find ways to embarrass her, but she would also be unable to explain to the Dog Emperor why she appeared in the Xue Mansion.

"What should I do?" Shen Yao was panicking, trying to find a place where no one was and hiding, but also thinking that if he could just knock himself and pass out, he might be able to sleep for a long time and not have to face all the dangers. .

Seeing Shen Yao panicking, Xue Yue held back the soreness and sadness in his heart, comforted her with kind words, and ordered Su Qing to stay with her.

Then I tidied up my clothes slightly and went to the flower hall to meet the guests.

The man standing with his hands behind his back in the center of the flower hall is dressed in Yanju's moon-white robes, still covered with pine trees and greenery, and has a noble air all over his body.

It's just that silhouette with a bit of loneliness and desolation.

The person standing next to him, arrogant at the front and respectful at the back, fat, wealthy, and rosy-faced, was Wang Dafu, the royal steward who was always at the emperor's side.

"Xue Yue has met Your Majesty!"

Xue Yue took a few steps quickly, knelt down on one knee, and greeted the emperor.

"Mingguang, I'm here incognito today, you don't have to be polite."

Hearing the sound, Lu Lingchuan turned around and raised his hand to help him up.

Today's emperor is no longer as handsome as he used to be. His eyes are red and there is darkness under his eyelids. Although his words are polite, there is a coolness in them.

Xue Yue was ordering people to serve tea, but he heard Wang Dafu praise his mansion here.

Xue Yue said quickly, "I'm just a martial artist, and I didn't buy this courtyard until I returned to the capital. In a hurry, it can't be said to be elegant!"

"Mingguang, I came today because I remembered that when we were young, you and I often practiced the Six Arts of the Gentleman together."

"Now you have written many times and want to return to the frontier. I thought that after so many years, it would not be easy to meet each other, so tonight I want Mingguang to accompany me to play a few games of chess."

Lu Lingchuan said to himself.

There has been no news from Shen Yao for a day and a night. He was worried and concerned about this to the point where his soul was faint. But after getting a clue, he hurried over.

Facing Xue Yue at this time, we need to be more alert to deal with it.

"My return to the capital this time has won your majesty's love. If your majesty is grateful for the past, you can summon me to the palace and stay with you. There is no need to condescend to me and come to my humble room in person. I am really frightened!"

Xue Yue suppressed his emotions and tried to remain calm.

When he thought of Shen Yao's frightened little face when she heard the emperor's arrival, he felt a pain in his heart. She was once so bright and proud, how much torture did she have to endure at the hands of Lu Lingchuan before her courage was shattered?

"Does Mingguang think that I have disturbed your purity by doing this?" Lu Lingchuan asked with ill intentions.

He hasn't figured out Xue Yue's path yet, otherwise he would have ordered the imperial army to surround Xue's house tonight and conduct a thorough search for the imperial concubine.

"I have no intention of doing so. Please tell me, Your Majesty."

The emperor came well prepared today, and Wang Dafu had placed the chess pieces on the table.

On the criss-crossed chessboard, Lu Lingchuan's slender hand picked up a white stone and dropped it steadily.

And Xue Yue's knuckled hand also held the sunspot and followed closely behind. Both of them were fully focused on this game without any distraction.

The inner courtyard is so quiet that even though people are sitting there, their hearts are really uneasy.

Why did this dog emperor come to Xue Mansion?

She looked at the door in panic, fearing that Lu Lingchuan would break in the next second.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Shen! I think the young master will send away the visitors in a while. Come and talk to the girl."

Su Qing's comfort had no effect on Shen Yao. She couldn't sit still or stand firmly. She wrung the handkerchief uneasily, and her watery eyes were filled with fear.

From the time the moon hung on the branches until the moon sank into the west, the rooster crow came, Shen Yao snuggled on the bedside, drowsy, but there was still no news of Mr. Lu's departure from the front hall.

"Why is this person so difficult to deal with? It's almost dawn, and he still has no intention of leaving."

Su Qing also knew that he had encountered a difficult problem.

"With the dignity of a young master, why don't we just drive that person away?"

Shen Yao held her forehead, her heart sinking again and again. She had not slept all night and had no appetite for food.

By then, Lu Lingchuan had satisfied his chess addiction and took Wang Dafu back to the palace.

Xue Yue quickly went back to his room to wash up and change clothes, and then went to the inner garden to see Shen Yao.

"Is he really gone?"

After Shen Yao confirmed that Lu Lingchuan had left, she breathed a long sigh of relief. Then she felt tired and held up her face and yawned twice.

"Sir, Jinwu General Xia Huaibei and the Minister of War, Zuo Shilang, came to visit and said they wanted to discuss the art of war with you."

Su Qing's words came from the corridor and fell into Xue Yue's ears. He knew that Shen Yao was no longer safe here.

"Sister Yao, while he is gone now, how about I immediately arrange for someone to take you to Jiayu City at the border. I will go there to look for you in half a month at the latest."

Shen Yao was stunned for a moment. She was trapped in the palace in her previous life, and she has never left Beijing in this life.

She was suddenly about to leave thousands of miles away, and she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to her father. She was really hesitant. After stepping out of the realm of going to Beijing, the road ahead was uncertain, and she did not want to leave her fate in the hands of another man.

She thought for a moment and said to Xue Yue, "Brother Mingguang, I have something to ask of Shen Yao. I am willing to leave and see the scenery on the border. But before leaving, I must see my father."

Even if she escapes, she must tell the Shen family the truth, and she cannot leave unclearly or unclearly.

"Sir, go to the front hall quickly. The left servant is shouting, saying that since you haven't seen guests for a long time, there must be a beautiful girl hiding in the golden room. If you don't go out, he will break in."

Su Qing urged, yesterday and today, all the guests coming to Xue Mansion were distinguished guests, which was simply overwhelming.

Xue Yue had no choice but to go to the front hall again.

Shen Yao felt that she could not stay here any longer. She desperately wanted to see her father and tell him the grievances in her daughter's heart. If given the chance, she would even like to escape to Emei, Shushan Mountain. I heard that there are criss-crossing trails there and the fairy mist lingers there, making it difficult for the gods and ghosts to find their traces when people enter the mountains.

Rich families usually have a corner door and a back door in addition to the front door, extending in all directions. Shen Yao faced Su Qing and bowed, "In order not to injure your young master, please let me go out through the side door!"

"I don't dare to make my own decisions without the master's orders. Please be patient. The master has orders, and the person to take care of the girl will be here in a moment."

Shen Yao had no choice but to wait for Xue Yue to come back. If she saw him again, she would leave anyway. Being with someone she hasn't seen in ten years, traveling across the world, always feels awkward for a person as indulgent and willful as her.

The bracelet on her wrist was hollow and contained poison. She turned her back and sprinkled some on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate.

Then he broke off the clean half and stuffed it into his mouth, and handed the rest to Su Qing's mouth, "I'd like to thank you for taking care of me all night, Shen Yao."

He was so attentive and he was a distinguished guest of the Young Master, so it was hard for Su Qing to refuse. After eating the pastries, she began to yawn, and soon fell asleep at the desk.

Shen Yao left the inner courtyard. At this time, the front hall was definitely not allowed to go. She made many twists and turns, and after a lot of effort, she found a corner door. Along the way, they only met a few maids and servants. Although they were surprised to see a beautiful lady who was elegant and walked with her head held high, they did not dare to ask any more questions.

The noisy voices of people in the market could be faintly heard outside the corner door. The freshness and brightness of this world made Shen Yao eagerly reach out and push open the low wooden door.

As long as the door is opened, she will go back to the house to find her father.

I tried a lot of force, but the wooden door didn't move at all. There is an apricot tree next to the wooden door. It is bearing some green apricots and the branches are covered with them. Shen Yao took off the shawl on his arm, tied a small stone on one end, and then threw it on the tree.

Pink shawls were fluttering on the strong branches, and Shen Yao couldn't help but think of the concubines and palace attendants in the palace who were sent to hell by a piece of white silk.

It's a sunny day and the sun is scorching, so why are gods and ghosts causing trouble? Shen Yao scolded herself for thinking nonsense. She tied the hem of her skirt into a knot, grabbed her shawl, climbed up the apricot tree, and then carefully stepped from the apricot tree to the high courtyard wall.

Lu Lingchuan was standing in the backyard of Xue Mansion.

Last night, he played chess with Xue Yue. Although he played well, Lu Lingchuan was still keenly aware of his uneasiness. This further confirmed that he was related to the disappearance of the imperial concubine.

Seeing his house here again, although the house is large, there are not even a few servants to serve him. It seemed very possible that he would hide Shen Yao here.

After a night of deployment, the imperial army and secret guards have surrounded Xue Mansion. But he didn't know if the constant battle of sending people to hold Xue Yue back could force Shen Yao out.

Looking towards the wall, Lu Lingchuan's eyes widened in excitement and surprise.

The beauty hanging out of the wall on the apricot tree was exactly the girl he thought about day and night, thinking crazily.

The suffering and gloom of the past two days were gone.

Lu Lingchuan raised the corners of his lips, stretched out his arms, and said to her narrowly, "Darling, come to my arms!"
