She dismissed the palace guests and stared at the crescent moon outside the window without focus, not knowing what she was thinking.
Bai Ning opened the door and asked softly, "Your Majesty, Shangguan Mingming, Fu Guang, and Lian Ying are all ready and waiting for your favor at any time. I wonder if Your Majesty wants to summon them."
The empress didn't reply and asked, "Bai Ning, how could a person who had been dead for more than twenty years suddenly come back to life, and live under your nose?"
Bai Ning was startled.
I don’t know what the empress wants to ask.
I don’t know who the empress is referring to.
She could only reply cautiously, "Maybe he didn't die twenty years ago."
"Really? But more than twenty years ago, I clearly detected his heart and aura and determined that he was definitely dead."
One sentence made Bai Ning's mind move.
The empress suddenly came back to her senses.
It seems that he said something to Bai Ning that he shouldn't have said and changed the topic.
"I'm in a bad mood today. I don't want to favor them. Let's do it another day."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"How is Ye Jinghan doing now?"
"Mu Nuan is treating his legs. From time to time, there are painful muffled sounds in the sword pavilion. Mr. Ye must be in pain."
Can his legs still be healed?
There are so many kinds of poisons mixed in his body, how can it be easily cured?
Is it her?
Did she pick up Ye Jinghan, put the blood leaf evil poison on Ye Jinghan's body, and forcibly suppressed his blood curse?
The empress looked in the direction of the Jade Clan, and gave an enigmatic smile in a daze.
Bai Ning felt creepy all over his body for no reason.
Your Majesty's smile...
Why does it look so scary?
"I'm tired, please retreat. No one is allowed to come to Fengyi Palace to disturb me without my order."
"yes."
Bai Ning retreated and closed the palace door with his backhand.
After a while, the candles in the palace were blown out.
Bai Ning wanted to retreat, but stopped after taking a few steps.
Thinking back to His Majesty's abnormality and the weird smile she showed when looking in a certain direction from time to time.
In addition, she suddenly asked her a question today.
Bai Ning's inner uneasiness grew one after another.
Your Majesty is afraid of the dark and has never extinguished candles when taking a break.
But in the past three years, when His Majesty was alone in the palace, he always extinguished the candles before falling asleep.
Bai Ning hesitated for a long time, then bravely stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, all the major aristocratic sects are still requesting to meet with Your Majesty, especially those from the Shangguan family. They said that if His Majesty refuses to summon him, they will not leave."
The room was empty, without any reply.
Bai Ning repeated it several times, but it was still empty inside.
She frowned.
For the first time in my life, I went against His Majesty's will, opened the palace door, and asked for His Majesty's order again.
However, after the palace door was opened, there was no one inside, and there was no sign of the empress.
Bai Ning searched around and confirmed that there was no trace of the empress in the palace.
She came out and asked the guards, "Where is Your Majesty? Has Your Majesty left Fengyi Hall?"
The guards were all puzzled.
"Lord Bai Ning, Your Majesty has not come out. You are the only one coming out and going in and out again from Fengyi Hall tonight."
"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure? Master Bai Ning, isn't your Majesty in the palace?"
"It's okay. You guys should be careful and don't mention what happened tonight to others."
"yes."
Bai Ning entered the palace again. She closed the door to the palace with her backhand and looked around the palace for clues.
She had long wanted to investigate Fengyi Palace.
Because she once heard a scream in Fengyi Hall.
It was a very real scream, but after the investigation, nothing was found. His Majesty said in an understatement that she was hallucinating.
