C14 Yearning

Imperial Garden, Jade Flower Pavilion.

As the first rays of the morning sun shined slightly, Feng Jingyi took off her shoes and socks before she entered the water to begin her work. Fu Jinhuang wanted her to stay here every night to collect the dew on the lotus leaves and water before daybreak, saying that it was best to clean her face.

"Susu." Qin Fang jogged to the lake and, as usual, collected dew with her.

"Why are you here again?" Every morning, she had to prepare breakfast for her concubine, and every day, she had to run over to help her. It was a long journey from the Peace Palace to this place.

"I've already prepared the morning meal for my concubine, you don't have to worry." Qin Fang said as she collected the dew.

"But every day, these people would run here and there. It must have been really hard on you. These days, you've gotten skinnier." Feng Jing Yi smiled helplessly.

Qin Fang only smiled, turned her head to look at her surroundings, and said, "If this goes on, we won't be able to do anything. You have to think of a way to get out of Gongye Palace."

Feng Jingyi nodded, "I know, but it's not an easy matter either."

Every day, not only did she have to deal with all the difficulties of the palace manager and palace maids, but she also had to be careful to not let Fu Jinhuang find any traces of her. That day, when she went back to the Peace Palace to pack, she was ordered by her concubine to keep an eye on Fu Jinhuang's movements.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at her every day. She had no chance to carry out her plan, so she could only stay put for the time being.

"Besides the empress, empress dowager, and the emperor of Da Xia, only the three of them have the power to suppress the imperial concubine in the palace." Qin Fang said.

"I still need time." Feng Jingyi sighed.

Fu Jinhuang was currently suspicious of her. With her suspicious personality, once she managed to escape from Guanju Palace, she would undoubtedly assume that she was Gu Wei. If she wanted to continue walking in the palace, it would probably be even more difficult.

"Miss Mo has sent some news. Young master Chen hopes that you can find a way to meet him outside the palace. Your plans for the future will need to be discussed personally by him." Qin Fang said.

"I know." Feng Jingyi looked at the sky and quickly said, "It's getting late, go back quickly, I'm almost done here."

Qin Fang pursed her lips and gave the jade bottle to her. "When you're done, go back and change your clothes. Drink up the ginger soup and drive away the cold …"

Feng Jingyi was the one who was afraid of the cold the most, it was rare for snow to fall in winter in the Southern Tang Dynasty, she would definitely get cold once a year just by snowing. Last year, General Shangguan took care of her for half a month before she recovered.

"You always say that every day. How could I dare to forget? Go back quickly." Feng Jing Yi urged.

Qin Fang boarded the shore and left first. She jogged back to the Peace Palace to prepare some breakfast for her concubine. She couldn't stop worrying as she looked back at the people who were still collecting dew in the lake.

Feng Jingyi finished collecting the dew from the lake and put the jade bottle on the shore. Only then did she realize that the purse that was hanging around her waist was gone. It was a token of affection given to her by her brother the year before, and she hadn't left her body for the past two years, so when she didn't see it, her heart couldn't help but be a bit confused.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the tears in her eyes. Returning to the lake, she carefully searched for an hour before she finally retrieved the bag from the bottom of the lake.

Just as she floated out of the water, she bumped into the black clothed man who was standing in the pavilion at some point. She smiled and looked deeply at her as she broke out of the water, "Susu, looking at you like this, makes me miss you dancing in the water that day."
