At this moment, I saw Xing'er stumbling back from outside with a panicked look on her face. I asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

She ran to the bed and said breathlessly: "The Emperor - the Emperor and the Queen have returned to the palace."

"Ah?!"

I was shocked and stood up quickly: "Have they returned to the palace?"

Aren’t they going to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices for ten days? There are still two days left, why did they come back early?

Xing'er said: "Well, Xiaoluzi and the others came over to say that Luan Jia has already entered the east gate."

After a moment of shock, I calmed myself down - there was no news of any changes in the Ancestral Temple, which meant that the reason why the emperor came back early should be in this palace. The only major event in this palace in the past few days was the eldest princess Pei Yuanzhen.

Return to the palace.

Recalling the incense she gave Xu Youling back then... It seems that Pei Yuanhao still remembers this. Of course he is worried about the two women in the harem who are pregnant with his dragon seed.

However, no matter what, it is best for him to come back. Yesterday, Nangong Lizhu had already wanted to attack me directly. I am sick now. If she tries to do anything again, I will definitely not be able to do anything about it. Returning to the palace at this time will undoubtedly bring disaster to the emperor.

I was pulled back from the most dangerous place.

However, what Shen Rou told me——

Now, the emperor and empress have returned to the palace, but Nangong Lizhu is still safe and sound.
