C15 The Fox Immortal in the Pear Garden

As soon as Worthy Lady Lan entered, she knelt down first.

"I will forever be grateful for Empress's great kindness!"

"What are you doing? Get up." Yun Zhiyu motioned for Lianye to help her up. "You haven't recovered from your injuries yet, so there's no need to be so polite."

Worthy Lady Lan held back her tears, "I am truly grateful to you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for you upholding justice that day, I'm afraid I would have been a corpse."

Yun Zhiyu comforted her a few more times before she calmed down.

When Lianye served the hot tea, Yun Zhiyu signaled with her eyes, and Lianye and the others left.

"The reason why I saved you is because I admire your character. You really don't have to take it to heart." Yun Zhiyu said, "But there is one thing that I can't understand."

Worthy Lady Lan said, "Your Majesty, please speak. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"What exactly did you do to anger Noble Consort Hui? She couldn't have gone to so much trouble to set up a trap just for a few words."

"This..." Worthy Lady Lan revealed a troubled expression and sighed softly, "I want to confess to you, but I really don't know what happened."

"Noble Consort Hui is a palace head, and I know that she is usually domineering. I usually only avoid her on purpose, so how could I dare to provoke her on purpose? When she comes looking for me, I will be more confused than anyone else."

Yun Zhiyu was startled, "You really don't know?"

"I don't dare to hide it from Your Highness. I am still confused. I don't understand how I offended the Imperial Consort." Worthy Lady Lan laughed bitterly, "Your Highness, don't think that I am hiding it because I am afraid of the Imperial Concubine. I really don't know."

Knowing Worthy Lady Lan's personality, Yun Zhiyu believed her words.

However, if that was the case...

"Then you'll have to be more careful in the future." Yun Zhiyu said solemnly, "She wanted to harm you. You must have done something intentionally or unintentionally, or know something. Since she has decided to kill you, she won't let you off so easily."

Worthy Lady Lan nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty. I will definitely be more careful."

After sending Worthy Lady Lan off, Yun Zhiyu lightly pressed her forehead. Worthy Lady Lan was not the only one who needed to be more careful in the future.

She had helped Worthy Lady Lan, and Noble Consort Hui must have hated her even more in her heart.

It was no secret that Noble Consort Hui wanted to occupy the position of Empress. From now on, she would have to be careful at all times.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yun Zhiyu felt a little bored and called Lianye to accompany her to the Imperial Garden for a stroll.

It was currently the best time for the pear blossoms to bloom. On the warm and cold days, the other flowers and grass were only sporadic, and only the pear blossom forest was blooming exceptionally well.

Yun Zhiyu liked the elegance of pear blossoms the most. Every year at this time, she would linger in the pear garden and forget to return. Before she left, she did not forget to ask someone to make a few more to bring back to Phoenix Palace.

When she arrived at the pear garden, Yun Zhiyu took a deep breath, and her entire body was wrapped in the elegant fragrance of the pear flowers.

"Take them and break a few pear flowers to bring back. I want to walk alone."

Lianye replied and brought the rest of the people with her.

As she walked, Yun Zhiyu had unknowingly reached the depths of the pear garden. Just as she was engrossed in watching, she heard a sound behind her. She turned her head abruptly and asked, "Who is it?"

"I just saw that the pear blossoms were blooming well, so I couldn't help but walk closer. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

As soon as the person spoke, his voice was even more elegant than the pear blossoms in the garden.

Yun Zhiyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure flash out from behind a thick pear tree.

In an instant, she was stunned.

The man was dressed in pear blossom white hair, and the lines of his clothes were intricately embroidered with dark dragon patterns. The black jade embedded in his boots was obviously a priceless treasure.

His clothes were enough to attract people, but his face was even more so. He was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he was as charming as a fox immortal. His lips were so thin that they could hook the souls of the people in the world.

At that moment, Yun Zhiyu almost thought that she had seen a fox immortal in the pear garden.
