After finishing their conversation, Jin Lian completely ignored Bai Zhi’er.
She hurriedly said, "Zhi’er, you take a rest for a while, don’t wander around!"
Saying this, Bai Zhi’er watched Jin Lian and the little palace Servant walk out briskly.
"Strange," Bai Zhi’er murmured, "Long Xiyuan is not so monstrous flood, is there a need to be so afraid when seeing him coming?"
After saying this, she continued to tidy up the bedding.
Suddenly!
A flash of insight struck Bai Zhi’er’s mind.
Now it must be the Late Stage that Long Xiyuan ntioned.
Empress Fu Xiru will have disputes with him over various issues.
For example, shielding her own clan, or pleading for guilty ministers.
Bai Zhi’er hurriedly threw aside the bedding and ran outside.
When she reached near the main hall, she found that Jin Lian and the others had been driven out.
While the trusted aides of the Emperor had already stationed themselves strictly at the entrance.
Bai Zhi’er furrowed her brows, "Could it be the mont Long Xiyuan talked about?"
Today, they will have a huge quarrel, and then Fu Xiru will take back the harem power, with only half a month of life left.
To find out, Bai Zhi’er ford a spell.
She quietly and imperceptibly moved past the Emperor’s trusted aides and palace Servants.
She reached the side of the back hall’s window, gently placing her ear to listen in.
From inside, Long Xiyuan’s cold questioning voice ca, "I heard today that a pair of palace Attendants were discovered in secret exchange, yet you protected them with all your might."
"Xiru, as the Empress, you disregard palace laws, how can I help you explain to others?"
Empress Fu Xiru, lying on the bed.
Having just experienced a relapse, her complexion wasn’t very good right now.
Her tone sounded sowhat weak, "Was it Princess Consort Liang who told you again?"
"If the Emperor investigates thoroughly, you might find there’s more to the story here."
Long Xiyuan furrowed his brows, "Do you an that pair of palace Attendants were not in secret exchange?"
Fu Xiru lifted her eyes, her expression calm, her tone unhurried.
"They did et in secret, but the hidden situation I ntioned refers to the unreasonable aspects of the palace laws."
"Both guards and palace Servants are human, they naturally have passions and desires, if they like soone, they will want to et them, should that be blad?"
Long Xiyuan flicked his sleeve, "If everyone thinks like you, wouldn’t the harem be in chaos?"
Fu Xiru sighed and shook her head, "What I an is, can the restrictions the palace laws place on guards and palace Servants be loosened just a bit?"
"eting occasionally when they are not on duty seems harmless, doesn’t it?"
"If we strictly enforce palace laws, continuously punishing guards and executing palace Servants, over ti, the palace Attendants will serve in constant fear."
Bai Zhi’er listened for quite a while, noticing that after Fu Xiru spoke, Long Xiyuan remained silent for a long ti.
Between them, silence surged.
Bai Zhi’er was sowhat moved, she didn’t expect Fu Xiru would take the initiative to speak to Long Xiyuan because of her and Feng Fuce.
Suddenly, Long Xiyuan’s voice ca again, "Are you doing this because last month I punished two pairs of guards and palace Servants, and in the end, found out their families were connected to Prince Li Zheng Mansion."
Outside the window, Bai Zhi’er was taken aback.
She quietly pushed open a corner of the window, just enough to see Fu Xiru’s expression.
Fu Xiru’s eyes looked dim, her long illness had taken away so of her radiance.
Hearing this, her first reaction was a bitter smile, "If the Emperor thinks this way, it truly wrongs ."
At this mont, Long Xiyuan wholly believed that the Empress was soone from Prince Li Zheng.
So no matter what Fu Xiru did, Long Xiyuan would doubt her motives.
