C17 Exposed Foot

Yan Hongye bit her lip and coquettishly said, "Your Imperial Majesty, chenqie actually doesn't have any requests. I was planning to beg Your Imperial Majesty to bring chenqie back to the palace as soon as possible …"

"Isn't it fun outside the palace?"

"That's not true. It's just that, all of a sudden …" Seeing Helian Jue faintly smile at her, Yan Hongye frowned. She didn't know how Consort Yan was related to the other concubines in the palace, but since she was a pampered girl, although she was a bit domineering, she could at least pretend to be like a sister.

Yan Hongye chuckled as she thought of this. She lifted her small hand to grab onto Helian Jue's chest, which only had the texture of a dragon robe. She greedily stroked him a few more times before saying with a bright smile, "Chenqie misses the empress dowager and the other sisters in the palace."

Helian Jue smiled even wider. "I see."

"Then does the emperor agree?" Yan Hongye tried her best to be as dubious as possible. If Helian Jue would make things difficult for her, she swore she would pinch him to death.

The smile in Helian Jue's eyes was unclear, so Yan Hongye could only see the smile that seemed to become more and more happy on the corner of his lips, so she could only smile along with him.

"Alright, we'll head back to the palace in three days." Helian Jue finally agreed. The smile in his eyes did not fade, as if he was getting more and more gentle.

When Yan Hongye left contentedly, Helian Jue's lips curved up a little more, but the gentleness in his eyes instantly disappeared.

"Lei Yu."

When Lei Yu, who had been standing outside the study room, heard Helian Jue's call, he quickly walked in and respectfully looked in Helian Jue's direction: "Your Majesty."

Helian Jue glanced at the tightly folded shirt sleeve until Lei Yu handed it over to him. Helian Jue took it over with a raise of his hand.

At the same time, Helian Jue's gaze froze. He curled his fingers and said with a cold and calm gaze, "Within one day, find out who approached the jade coffin after finding out who was in the coffin for Consort Yan within seven days."

"Yes sir!"

"..."

Noon of the next day.

Yan Hongye was bored out of her mind as she laid down by the window in the western hall. She raised her eyes and looked at the sky.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it, but she was an orphan and no one doted on her. There were even many fortune-tellers who said that she was Heavenly Calamity Solitary Star's life. Unless someone with a stronger life than hers could be with her, she could cause the death of many close friends.

In the twenty-first century, no one would dare to get close to her, no one would dare to love her. Only Uncle Xu from the Museum of Wild History treated her well, and she wondered where he had been during the earthquake, so she could only hope that he was fine.

It was unknown whether the earthquake in the museum was influenced by the unloved Heavenly Calamity Solitary Star or not, but the director of the museum must have suffered a huge loss. Ai, I don't know if it's because of her or not.

There weren't many people who cared about her, so it was useless for her to go back. However, she also didn't want to be the Consort Yan from Ziqi Country, Emperor Heng. She didn't want to be used by others, and she also didn't want to be beaten into the cold palace.

She was used to the cold places of the twenty-first century. She was afraid of the luxury, of being served, of being taken care of. She was afraid that her ordinary and weak heart would one day be captured by that king who had great acting skills. If that happened, she would lose.
