Yuchi Yanling could not refute the naked threat. Anyang Zhanwen still stayed in the palace and kept quiet about foreign affairs. She was afraid that if she did not hand over the phoenix seal today, maybe Concubine Yu would come in person.
Yuchi Yanling was about to speak when she heard the eunuch's voice coming from outside the palace gate: "The emperor has arrived."
After the order was heard, Xia Houranluo, dressed as a nanny, walked out of the inner room: "Your Majesty, the emperor is here."
Yuchi Yanling looked at Xia Hou Ranluo with some surprise. It had been four years since Anyang Zhanwen had stepped into Liuyan Palace. This time... what method did Xia Hou Ranluo use to make Anyang Zhanwen come in time at this time?
Arrived?
She gave Yuchi Yanling a reassuring look, then helped her out of the palace, facing the man in a bright yellow dragon robe.
"I, my concubine, send my regards to the Emperor."
"No courtesy." After Anyang Zhanwen stretched out his hand to help Yuchi Yanling, he looked at Dongxue who also followed him out, "You are the maid of Yuqing Palace? Why are you in Liuyan Palace?"
"My servant Dongxue is the personal maid of the Imperial Concubine Jade. Today she came to take the Phoenix Seal on the orders of the Imperial Concubine Jade." Dongxue explained the matter clearly without any fear.
Anyang Zhanwen did not blame Dongxue, he just remained silent for a moment, took Yuchi Yanling's hand and walked into the palace room.
"You should go back to Yuqing Palace first. The Emperor will come over in a while." Kang Hedong whispered in Dongxue's ear and then followed Anyang Zhanwen into the palace.
"Let's go." Dongxue said, leading the maids and eunuchs of Yuqing Palace to leave in a grand manner.
"Your Majesty..." After entering the palace, Yuchi Yanling took her hand away from Anyang Zhanwen's, "I wonder if the Emperor wants to retrieve the Phoenix Seal when he comes to Liuyan Palace today?"
"Exactly." Not minding Yuchi Yanling's attitude, Anyang Zhanwen sat on the front seat, "In the past, Concubine Ling gave the Phoenix Seal to you without permission, which was inconsistent with etiquette, so I have to take the Phoenix Seal back today, otherwise there will be no consequences.
I will come here in person."
Yuchi Yanling chuckled and nodded, turned around and told Xia Houranluo to get the Phoenix Seal. However, the moment she turned around, no one could see the sadness in her eyes.
Without any pause...
When Xia Houranluo took the Phoenix Seal, Yuchi Yanling handed it to Anyang Zhanwen with her own hands. For a moment, even Kang Hedong did not dare to step forward to take it. Only Anyang Zhanwen could take it.
Anyang Zhanwen reached out and took the Phoenix Seal without handing it to Kang Hedong. He just held the red brocade box, which symbolized all the power and hope of the harem, with both hands.
He walked out of Liuyan Palace without stopping at all...
The moment the palace door closed, the tears that had come four years later slid down her cheeks. All Yuchi Yanling's strength collapsed in an instant. She fell to the ground, letting Xia Houranluo and Cang Xiang fly away.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it up. She burst into tears and laughed, and then there was no sound.
In fact, at the end, Yuchi Yanling didn't have the chance to ask Xia Houranluo how she got Anyang Zhanwen to come to Liuyan Palace, because all of this... was no longer important to Yuchi Yanling.
She gave up her life and refused to leave, just hoping to clear all the obstacles in the harem for him, but in the end he just chose to believe in the fake Shu Yu'er, rather than believe in the thirteen people who accompanied him in this indifferent palace.
She is young...
