Zi Lan's palms were sweating, but she had to wait outside the door calmly.
The agreed time has come, why hasn't the Empress come back yet? There will be nothing wrong, right?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy Zi Lan felt.
The guards on the side looked at Zi Lan in confusion and kept looking at her: "Miss Zi Lan?"
Upon hearing the guard's inquiry, Zi Lan calmed down and said with a smile: "I am waiting, the little master who helps the queen buy pastries!"
"So that's it!" The guard nodded.
Secretly glanced at the guards in different classes from the morning, Zi Lan's heart kept beating; she prayed silently, don't have any accidents!
"Miss Zilan is in a hurry?" Looking at Zilan, who was vaguely anxious, the guard asked again.
"..." Zi Lan wanted to refute, but then she thought about it and nodded slightly: "Yes! As dinner is approaching, the Empress really wants to eat some pastries; but this little master has not returned yet!"
"So that's the case!" The guard nodded slightly, then said, "Looking at the look of Zilan, I must be worried that the Empress will be alone in the room without anyone taking care of her?"
Zi Lan was shocked: ‘Is Zi Lan so obvious?’
Before Zi Lan responded, the guard continued to say to himself: "Since that's the case, Zi Lan can go back first; when the little master comes back, his subordinates will take him to the Empress's residence!"
"No, no!" Zilan was nervous and waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.
"..." Guard.
Realizing that he was reacting too fiercely, Zi Lan rescued and said, "Brother Guard! I am not disgusted with you, but I am afraid of breaking the rules of Miaoci'an because of this!"
"What are the rules of Miaoci'an?" The guards obviously didn't know.
"There have always been only women and nuns who can walk freely in the backyard of Miaoci Temple; if you go..." Zilan looked extremely embarrassed: "...I'm afraid that the masters will have some opinions about the empress!"
When the guard heard this, he blamed himself: "It's because his subordinates are not considering it well! It's because his subordinates are not considering it well..."
"Brother Guard, don't blame yourself! You are also kind!" Zilan comforted.
Zilan's comfort made the guards stop blaming themselves: "Miss Zilan! Otherwise, you go back and take care of the Empress first; if the Master comes back, your subordinates will ask her to quickly rush to the Empress's residence!"
"No need!" This time, Zilan mastered the right measure and spoke: "I'd better wait a little longer, so I'd take her to see the Empress soon!"
"Do you take care of the Empress without delay?" The guard was a little confused.
"It was the Empress who ordered me to wait here, but I felt that I had been waiting for a long time, so I couldn't help but become impatient!" Zi Lan chuckled, looking a little embarrassed!
"So it was the empress's order!" The guard smiled knowingly: "Miss Zilan, please wait here obediently!"
"Yes!" Zi Lan looked helpless; she turned around: "How long has the guard been in the palace? Why have you never seen you?"
"It's not long!" The guard was embarrassed to scratch his head.
"It's not long, how long?" Zilan asked with her eyes flashing.
"It's only been more than three months! But..." The guard immediately patted his chest and promised: "... The heartfeltness of his subordinates to the royal family is a testament to heaven and earth!"
"Hehe..." Zi Lan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled.
"What? You don't believe it!" The guard frowned.
"No!" Zilan shook her head: "I just feel that each of us is loyal to the royal family; but few people will say it!"
The guard pursed his lips and frowned even deeper: "Do you think that my subordinates are exaggerating?"
"No!" Zilan hurriedly spoke up.
"You have!"
“…”
"Hmph!" The guard snorted coldly, turned around and walked aside.
Zilan touched the tip of her nose, and was a little confused; she didn't seem to be doing anything to him, right?
After thinking for a while, I finally couldn't figure it out; Zilan decided to give up and didn't plan to continue thinking!
Standing on tiptoe, looking into the distance, praying for his master to appear soon!
Time passed by minute by minute, and as Zi Lan's expression became more anxious, a familiar figure finally came from a distance.
A joy flashed in Zilan's eyes, and she hurriedly stepped forward to meet her!
"I'm finally back! The Empress is afraid she's anxious to wait, so you can follow Zilan!" Zilan's voice rose slightly, and it happened to be able to reach every guard's ears.
Ziyi lowered her head and pointed her head gently; followed Zilan and walked into Miaoci Temple without any obstacles!
When he returned to the room, Zilan immediately closed the door!
"Empress! I'm scared to death!" Zilan kept patting her chest to comfort her frightened little heart.
Ziyi put the pastry on the table and sat on the side of the table.
"By the way, Empress! Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?" Zilan asked worriedly.
"I met someone on the road, and I wasted some time!" Ziyi said in a simple and straightforward manner.
"Isn't it the man in the palace?"
Ziyi smiled: "You're thinking too much!"
"It's good!" Zilan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ziyi picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea: "We will return to the palace tomorrow!"
"ah?"
"Something happened, I'll wait less than three days!" Ziyi sighed softly, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
"What accident?" Zi Lan's expression, as soon as she relaxed, suddenly became tense again.
Ziyi spoke and came one by one with what happened today!
After hearing this, Zi Lan was stunned: "How could this happen?"
"Let's live!" Zi Yi sighed; he picked up the teacup and placed it on his lips and pursed it gently.
"Empress! You are mourning and following the changes!" Apart from this sentence, Zilan didn't know what else could she say at this time!
A bitterness appeared beside Zi's lips.
"Empress! Are you really planning to follow the plan of Lord Niha?"
Ziyi nodded gently: "What else can Ziyi do?" If you don't follow Lord Niha's words, I'm afraid Ziyi will never get revenge for the rest of her life!
“…”
Ziyi put down the teacup and slowly stood up from the table; she walked to the bed and took off her clothes.
"I'll take advantage of the night to send my clothes back! Remember, don't be discovered!"
"I remember!" Zilan stepped forward and put her clothes in her arms!
Ziyi was wearing a mattress and sat on the edge of the bed: "You go down first! I want to rest!"
"Empress! Don't you eat something first?"
"No!" Ziyi shook her head indifferently.
Zilan frowned slightly: "Empress! You are very weak now. If you don't eat..."
"I have a clear idea in my heart, let's go down!" Before Zi Lan finished speaking, Zi Yi interrupted directly.
Zi Lan's teeth bit her cherry lips and gently stroked her body: "The queen will rest first! I will leave!" After that, she turned around and walked out!
"Wait!" Ziyi suddenly spoke: "Take the pastries on the table for a meal!"
"Thank you!" Zilan picked up the pastry and turned around and left the room.
Ziyi lies on the bed, looking sad!
Father! Ziyi cannot accompany you, so let Ziyi's children accompany you! On that side, you want to help Ziyi take good care of him...
