Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: The People at the Door Are Getting Anxious

The evening breeze gently swept through.

The medicinal scent from Fu Xiru was faint.

She smiled and said, "I just saw him holding your hand tightly."

"Even in the presence of so many Imperial Guards, he was not afraid at all, he didn’t want to let go of you, nor did he draw a line between you."

"There are many guards and palace Servants in the palace who privately interact with each other, and whenever they are discovered, one of them always shifts the responsibility and blame onto the other person first."

"But with the two of you, I didn’t see any shirking of responsibility, he cares about you, which shows that your feelings are worthwhile."

"As long as I have the ability, I will not let any pair of lovers be separated."

So that’s how it is!

Bai Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes, moved: "Lady, you are truly kind!"

Although her relationship with Feng Fuce was not as Fu Xiru imagined.

But from this point of view, Fu Xiru is indeed a wonderful person!

She only left a bad impression at Long Xiyuan because she had too many things she couldn’t help.

Bai Zhi’er also decided to help her until the very last moment.

Fu Xiru finished counting the ginkgo leaves in her hand.

She was a bit surprised: "Great, it’s nine leaves. When I was young, my wet nurse told me that if you could pick up nine ginkgo leaves at once, it means a beautiful wish will come true." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Bai Zhi’er rested her chin in her hand: "But we were just picking them up one by one!"

Fu Xiru smiled at her: "Sometimes people have to learn to deceive themselves, believing that beautiful things will happen, isn’t that nice?"

Bai Zhi’er’s long eyelashes fluttered, unable to refute Fu Xiru’s words.

At that moment, Fu Xiru looked up and smiled at Bai Zhi’er: "Zhi’er, you can serve me until here today, go back and rest."

Bai Zhi’er hesitated: "But in a while, Lady will need to take the medicine, I want to stay and watch you take the medicine before leaving."

Fu Xiru gave her a gentle push: "Go, Jin Lian will accompany me to take the medicine in a while."

"If you don’t leave now, the one waiting at the door will become anxious."

Bai Zhi’er turned around to look.

Feng Fuce was already standing at the door unknowingly.

He probably had a busy day, dressed in a guard’s attire, yet didn’t look like a guard, rather like a handsome and aloof Noble!

Bai Zhi’er patted the dust off her hands: "I’m leaving then, Lady!"

She still had to tell Feng Fuce about what had happened today!

Bai Zhi’er lifted her skirt and threw herself into Feng Fuce’s arms.

He wrapped an arm around her waist in an instant.

Feng Fuce raised his eyebrows slightly: "I heard Changle Hall had quite a commotion, but judging by your expression, you must have had quite the fun?"

Bai Zhi’er playfully blinked: "Of course, I was very happy! Let’s go to my place, I’ll tell you about what happened today."

The two of them held hands, ready to leave, but turned back together, looking at the Empress standing under the lamp.

Fu Xiru was clad in a neat and dignified phoenix robe, her serene and gentle smile lit by the hexagonal palace lantern.

She watched the interlocked hands of Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce, as if seeing the past through them.

Bai Zhi’er sensed the faint glint of tears in Fu Xiru’s eyes.

But soon, Fu Xiru coughed a few times.

Her physical condition was too frail to support her standing outside for long.

Jin Lian hurriedly helped her inside.

Bai Zhi’er quietly withdrew her gaze and followed Feng Fuce back to her place.

She couldn’t help but say: "I wonder what the Empress’s obsession really is, I truly wish to help her unravel it."

Originally, it was done as a task to accumulate Merit.

But getting actually involved in Fu Xiru’s life, she becomes a living, breathing person, rather than that much-favored Empress spoken of in stories and legends.
