Chapter 604 Secret Talk In The Palace

Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu nodded. It did not seem to be dangerous for Liu Sanniang to enter the palace alone, so there was no need for them to follow.

Liu Yuanyuan said, “Venerable, if you need any help, just call us.”

If anyone really wanted to harm Liu Sanniang, as long as Liu Sanniang called them, they would immediately rush over.

Liu Sanniang smiled and nodded. “I will.”

Hu Yu smiled. “Then, we’ll go back first.”

The capital was very big, so Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan still wanted to explore it.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan entered the palace together. She took out a token and the palace eunuch led the two of them in.

The imperial study was the place where the emperor dealt with state affairs. No one was allowed to enter without being summoned.

This was the first time Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan came here.

Seeing Liu Sanniang, Xia Bingguang’s expression softened. “Miss Liu, you’re here.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Your Majesty.”

Xia Bingguang instructed the palace eunuchs. “All of you, leave. No one is allowed to disturb us.”

The eunuchs and palace maids left one by one with their heads lowered.

Xia Bingguang looked around worriedly. After confirming that there was no strange feeling, he said, “Miss Liu, something strange has happened in the palace recently, so I immediately got someone to look for you.”

“I feel like someone is spying on me in the palace. When I was taking a nap, I felt someone staring at me… I invited the State Minister to chant scriptures, but I still felt uneasy, so I got the secret guard to send a message to you.”

Xia Bingguang did not know how to put it. Actually, at that time, he was sleeping with a consort. The feeling of being stared at instantly made Xia Bingguang’s hair stand on end.

In an instant, he lost interest.

He was the emperor, so he was naturally prone to be paranoid. He called the State Ministers over to chant scriptures, but the State Ministers did not sense anything to be wrong. He knew that the two State Ministers were not capable enough.

Therefore, Xia Bingguang immediately called the secret guards to send an imperial edict to Liu Sanniang.

A pair of eyes hidden in the darkness of the palace was unacceptable. If he did not find this pair of eyes, he would not be able to sleep well.

After hearing this, Liu Sanniang remembered the strange feeling she had experienced during the day.

Liu Sanniang asked. “Can I see the consorts?”

Xia Bingguang frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and said, “Sure, but your identity is special. You have to let me think of a good reason for you to stay.”

Liu Sanniang was a psychic. Although not many people in the palace knew her, a young and beautiful woman would always cause hostility in the harem.

At this moment, a eunuch shouted from outside. “Consort Xian Fei requests an audience.”

Xia Bingguang frowned and ordered. “Let her in.”

Soon, a middle-aged woman came in. The woman was extremely beautiful as she walked over gracefully, exuding an irresistible charm.

Xia Bingguang’s eyes were filled with gentleness. “Why are you here today?”

Consort Xian Fei raised her eyebrows and said excitedly, “I heard that Miss Liu has entered the palace. Your Majesty, you know that I like mystic things. Why didn’t you tell me? I’ve heard many anecdotes about Miss Liu, so I came over to see her.”

Xia Bingguang smiled. “I have something serious to discuss with Miss Liu.”

Consort Xian Fei smiled and said, “Then, are you done, Your Majesty? If you’re done, I’m going to invite Miss Liu to my palace to play.”

Xia Bingguang suddenly had an idea. “I know you have insomnia lately, and Miss Liu just happened to be here. How about letting Miss Liu stay in your palace for a few days to keep you company?”

Xian Fei smiled. “That’s good. If Miss Liu is willing, she can stay for as long as she wants.”

Liu Sanniang found a reason to stay, and Xia Bingguang was relieved. It had to be said that Xian Fei came at the right time.

Xia Bingguang liked Xian Fei very much. “It must be because Hongming keeps mentioning Miss Liu to you that you want to see her so much.”

Xian Fei admitted frankly. “Your Majesty is as wise as ever.”

Xia Bingguang waved his hand. “Go ahead.”

Xian Fei smiled and reached out to make an inviting gesture to Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang was a woman, so staying in the palace was not a problem.

Xia Bingguang was a little worried about Chu Yan. He looked at Chu Yan but did not know what to say. The man gave him a strange feeling. He had investigated Liu Sanniang, so he had naturally investigated Chu Yan as well.

The Chu family was very ordinary. Chu Yan had been blacksmithing for eight years, but just like Liu Sanniang, he somehow became a psychic. After that, he was engaged to Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and was about to ask Chu Yan to go back.

Chu Yan beat her to it and said calmly, “I’ll hide in the dark and be a secret guard.”

There were many secret guards in the palace to protect the emperor.

Xia Bingguang had no choice but to agree.

Xian Fei led the way and soon, they left the imperial study. On the way, she said, “Miss Liu, I’m the mother of the Third Prince, Xia Hongming. I’ve been in the palace for almost twenty years. I’ve long heard of your name and want to see you. Let’s have a cup of tea and chat.”

Xian Fei continued. “Miss Liu, follow me back to my palace. The other palaces will be informed of your arrival soon. Tomorrow, they will swarm over to see you.”

Liu Sanniang replied calmly. “It’s alright.”

Xian Fei asked. “Miss Liu, even the State Minister can’t find anything unusual. Are you confident that you can?”

Liu Sanniang answered in a composed voice. “I don’t know yet.”

She had also had the feeling of being stared at during the day as well, but it disappeared very quickly.

Xian Fei did not ask further. Instead, she changed the topic. “To be honest, I’m here for Hongming. He said that you’re a psychic and wanted to befriend you, but you never agreed. As his mother, I naturally hope I can help him.”

“Miss Liu, don’t mind me being talkative. Make yourself at home in my palace.”

Xian Fei had been paying attention to Liu Sanniang’s expression.

She now understood what Xia Hongming meant when he said Liu Sanniang was not an ordinary person. She was really unfathomable.
