Chapter 30: Imperial Bodyguard Ming Ze

“Be careful.” A deep male voice sounded by her ears and a large hand grabbed her arm. With this force of support, Qing Feng could stand straight and firmly. When the hand released, Qing Feng looked back and saw a familiar pair of cool eyes. That pair of eyes… It’s him?! The man who helped her on her most difficult night. She recognised that pair of eyes.

A trace of surprise also crossed the man’s indifferent eyes but it quickly disappeared and avoided looking at her again.

Chapter 29: Recovered From A Serious Illness

“Why?” At first Fu Ling was reluctant to stay, even though this trip of the Empress did not make things difficult but it was not truly to express her goodwill. Under such circumstances, why would she suddenly change her mind? Qing Feng is puzzled.

“This servant… Want to stay by your Ladyship’s side”

Chapter 28: To Be Referred As Sisters?

The Empress? What did she come here for?

During the Palace banquet, she was only a “gift” and was demoted to a palace maid. Xin Yue Ning was already so aggressive, thinking of ways to ensure her demise and now she is conferred a Concubine title, how would Xin Yue Ning let her off. Qing Feng looked at Fu Ling who was standing by her side and lightly pat her shoulder before whispering, “There is a space for clothing behind the curtain, you can withdraw there first.” She can tell that Fu Ling is reluctant to stay, in that case it would be better for her to hide so that she will not be dragged into any trouble.

Chapter 27: Trust (Part 3)

During early summer at noon, the sunlight penetrated through the foliage on both sides of the palace roads. When it shone on anyone, it would not be scorching hot but still remained dazzling. Fu Ling’s head was slightly lowered as she silently followed the Gonggong, who was walking in front. She did not make any inquiries on where she will be taken to, not because she doesn’t care but because even if she ask it would be useless. If the destination was a place that could not be told, her questions will not bring her any answers but make others feel burden, so why bother?

The Laundry Bureau was the furthest courtyard in the Inner Palace, they have walked so far and only just stopped in front of a palace hall. Fu Ling lifted her head to look at the palace door and could recognise that this was Shu Yun Palace, where Imperial Concubine Shu’s Palace. After Imperial Concubine Shu died due to a difficult delivery, no one has been residing there. When she saw the palace plaque indicated “Qing Feng Hall” in large new characters, she could not help but secretly sighed. That year Imperial Concubine Shu was the only favoured one in the entire Inner Palace, which was so noble and respectable, but now after she is gone for less than three years, not even the Emperor, but afraid that not many eunuchs and the palace maids would have remembered her.

Chapter 26: Trust (Part 2)

“Move faster! Do you not want to eat with these dilly-dallying?”

Under the hot sun in the open courtyard, there were piles and piles of baskets full of clothes, draperies and curtains. Beside the well, there were three large stone pools that were soaked with different types of clothes. Ten over palace maids were under the scorching sun washing the clothes without daring to lift up their heads. Many of them have bloated white fingers that was due to long soaking hours. Even so, the old mama was still in the courtyard nagging continuously. The female in the Laundry Bureau are all low ranked palace maids and could only endure such punishments and scoldings silently.

Holding a newly brewed tea, Lan Fang pleasing said, “Mama do cool down. The sun is too fierce, do sit down and drink this tea. Let this servant watch over these people.”

Chapter 25: Trust (Part 1)

In front of the exquisitely carved red sandalwood bed, Huang Jiao took the female’s pulse. Don’t know if due to Yan Hong Tian standing behind or is it due to the seriousness of the condition that his brows were tightly knitted and there were beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

“Is her illness serious?” Yan Hong Tian showed an expression of impatience. Huang Jiao took his hand back and respectfully replied, “Concubine Qing’s illness is not serious but her injury is very serious. The condition of the injury is most likely internal trauma and moreover these few days the Imperial Prison environment is very cold, with improper diet and the medicine that this subject has sent over were not consumed. Now…”

Chapter 24: Fainted Just Like This?

Yan Hong Tian?

Qing Feng sneered. He indeed did not let her go easily! Yan Hong Tian is truly a scary man. Every time when she faced him, she would need courage and strength. Qing Feng took a deep breath, resisted the pain in her chest with great difficulty and raised her head with clenched teeth, and took big strides into the bright hall.
