Zhong Liyue couldn't help being a little frightened when she saw Kong Lian's expression was so serious:
"Why...isn't it possible?"
Kong Lian shook his head:
"Others can, but you can't, because you are one of the palace lord's concubines. Although the palace lord has never touched you, in name, you are the palace lord's person after all. Since you are all the palace lord's people,
How can I leave here?
If you are just a maid or a protector of Yunyu Palace, I can make the decision to let you leave..."
"Oh, brother, what palace lord's woman? I have never even met the two palace lords... The two palace lords probably don't know about me at all. Why do you care so much? There are so many people in Yunyu Palace.
I don’t have many concubines, and I don’t have too many concubines. If I disappear, no one will notice except my eldest brother and Lan Xin, right?”
Kong Lian sighed and looked at Zhong Liyue with a hint of helplessness:
"Girl, why do you want to go out? Isn't it good to stay here???"
Zhong Liyue shook his head vigorously:
"No, it's very nice here, especially since my elder brother takes such good care of me. However, Xiaoyue wants to go out and see the outside world... Xiaoyue just doesn't want to be trapped here without seeing anything and not knowing anything.
..But brother, Xiaoyue really likes this place. Xiaoyue will regard this place as her home. When she is tired outside, Xiaoyue will come back and return to her brother."
The more Zhong Liyue talked, the more excited she became. Afraid that Kong Lian wouldn't believe it, she grabbed Kong Lian's sleeves tightly and nodded vigorously.
Kong Lian lowered his eyelids and was silent for a while:
"Okay, I will tell the two palace masters to demote you to a maidservant, and I will send you out after a while."
That's what he said, but in his heart Kong Lian had other plans.
How could he trust an inexperienced woman like Zhong Liyue that she would leave Yunyu Palace alone and leave his protection?
The reason he agreed to Zhong Liyue to send her out now was just to prevent her from sneaking out on her own. After all, because of him, the people in Yunyu Palace were becoming more and more polite to that girl, so there was no guarantee that they would not let her go for his sake.
Therefore, he could only agree to her first and then find a way to keep her.
But, what can be found in this Yunyu Palace that can keep a lively girl like Zhong Liyue...
Kong Lian narrowed his eyes in deep thought. When he thought about something, his eyes suddenly lit up and he turned his gaze to Zhong Liyue with shining eyes.
Zhong Liyue was horrified by the sight of him.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed by evil spirits?"
Kong Lian scratched her nose:
"Little girl, what are you talking about? How can anyone curse his brother to be possessed by evil?"
After Kong Lian finished speaking, he added:
"By the way, girl, you've been here for so long, and I've been busy. Apart from chatting with you, I haven't taken you to play. As an apology, I would like to give you a surprise."
