To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C122

Li Ruolan rolled his eyes at her. “Enough, enough, go back to your storage palace. Don’t look for me at Phoenix Nest Palace if there’s nothing else.”

After they left, Cui Yun hurriedly took some ice cubes: “Aunt, put it in your mouth first, this way your tongue won’t hurt anymore.”

Shi Anran didn’t say anything. The palm on her face was still burning in pain, her skin was tender to begin with, and a purplish-red palm print was especially clear!

Seeing that she was going to rub the medicine on him, Shi Anran stopped her: “You don’t need to rub the medicine on yourself.

Hearing that, Cui Yun’s heart ached for her, then she nodded: “Aunt is right, I think the seal will not go away for more than three or five days.”

What she wanted was this kind of effect. Shi Anran smiled faintly, how could her face still be weak at all?

Xiu Er was anxiously walking around outside. When she saw Shi Anran coming out, he went up to him. “Master, are your face injuries serious?”

Shi Anran covered up a thin veil and spoke gently: “I’m fine, just do whatever you need to do! “You don’t have to worry too much about me, I can still take on such a small matter.”

“Aunt, what do you have to say to this servant?” Cui Yun asked softly.

It had to be said that Cui Yun was a very smart girl. Shi Anran nodded gently: “Is your mother better now?”

A few days ago, she asked a young eunuch to bring a letter to a servant. He said that when Aunt has the chance to leave the palace in the future, she will go home and have a meal. “Cui Yun said happily.

From her eyes, one could tell her genuine gratitude and sincerity, and Shi Anran heaved a sigh of relief: “That’s good, in the future, just tell me what you lack, and don’t hide it!”

Hearing that, Cui Yun was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, and her eyes reddened: “This servant thanks Aunt for taking care of me!”

Actually, Shi Anran wanted to say, it should be me who should be the one thanking you, if it wasn’t for Cui Yun by her side, it would be hard for her to do anything by herself.

Finally, after a day of peace, Shi Anran received news that the Emperor had returned to the palace. Because it was raining heavily on the way here, Shi Anran received news from Eunuch Zhao that she was going to deliver a change of clothes for the emperor.

After Shi Anran prepared the dragon robe, she sat on the palanquin and left the palace. On the way, she saw many commoners gathering, as if they were waiting for someone.

“Alright, you can go back to the palace!” After speaking, Eunuch Zhao turned around and entered the inn.

The emperor left the palace in a humble manner. Logically speaking, the commoners shouldn’t have known, right? Why are there so many people gathered here?

Just as Shi Anran wanted to return to the palace, she realised that the palanquin that brought her here had disappeared. It seemed that she had to return today.

After walking for an hour, and not even a third of the way, Shi Anran’s mind started to wander. Suddenly, she remembered that before she had entered the palace, Xiang Rongcheng had brought her to a forest. At that time, she was the same as she was now, stubbornly wanting to walk back, but Xiang Rongcheng led her horse and followed right behind her. When her feet touched the ground, he squatted down in front of her and gently picked up the blisters …

“Get out of the way!” The generals in front of him shouted. Behind him were an army of soldiers.

Shi Anran turned her head, searching for someone in the crowd. Did they return?

“The young general is mighty, the young general is mighty!” Accompanied by the loud cheers of the commoners, Xiang Rongcheng spurred his horse forward with an impeccable appearance of beauty.

Just as he was about to fly away from in front of him, Shi Anran couldn’t help but call out with a faint voice, “Xiang Rongcheng …” The sound was very soft, so soft that it had long since been submerged in a sea of people.

Xiang Rongcheng who had already walked a distance suddenly stopped, he then rode his horse and ran over, his gaze sweeping the crowd.

When his eyes met with hers again, Xiang Rongcheng smiled slowly.

Although she was wearing a veil, Xiang Rongcheng still recognized her with a single glance. He rode past, and when he passed by Shi Anran, he grabbed her belt and quickly sped away, not allowing anyone to clearly see what the woman in his arms really looked like.

The mighty army followed closely behind her, carrying the domineering aura that a general should have. After running for a long distance, seeing that the people behind him could no longer catch up, he lowered his voice and laughed. “You still have some conscience. You know how to come out and greet me!”

Who had come out to meet him? Shi Anran wanted to explain something, but Xiang Rongcheng said happily: “Anran, do you know how long this Yi Yue has been here, how much I have missed you?”

“Xiang Rongcheng, quickly put me down, don’t let anyone see me!” She whispered.

“So what if you see? Whoever dares to say anything more, I will cut off their neck! ” Xiang Rongcheng said smilingly as he placed his chin on her shoulder and lightly breathed in the fragrance that belonged to her.

Shi Anran’s heart was beating quickly. She turned her head to look at the man behind her. “Why does she look so energetic?”

“Stupid woman, this is not a scheme!” Xiang Rongcheng laughed softly, liking the gentleness she couldn’t help but reveal when she was concerned about him.

“Why is he wearing a veil? How ugly!” Following that, without saying a word, Xiang Rongcheng pulled off the veil covering her face. In the next moment, his eyes darkened, and he asked with a bone-piercing cold tone: “Who did it?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Xiang Rongcheng turned her face to face with him, and asked once again in a serious tone: “I’ll ask you again, who did it?”

“It’s the Imperial Noble Consort Lan and Li Ruoxue. I can avoid them, but …” But after avoiding it, perhaps she wouldn’t be standing in front of him so perfectly fine.

Along the way, Xiang Rongcheng didn’t speak any further. Only when they were almost to the palace gate did he put her aside. After all, he was going to enter the palace, so he didn’t want to make things difficult for this woman.

Shi Anran silently retreated into the crowd, but she could not help but look at him, since when did this man start, make her feel at ease?

Just then, the troops led by Third Prince rushed over to meet them, the two of them rode on top of the tall horses side by side, slowly heading towards the imperial palace, the sound of the Emperor’s driving came from behind, causing everyone to be stunned, Xiang Rongcheng and the rest led the troops to the two sides, and escorted the Emperor to continue forward.

When Shi Anran returned, she could not help but smile. Xiu Er ran over: “Master, why are you only just back!”

“The young eunuch who carried the palanquin left me outside the palace. I was walking all the way back!” she whispered.

“This is too much! Master must sue them in front of the emperor!” Xiu Er was indignant for her.

Shi Anran pursed his lips and laughed, as if she was in a good mood, “Forget it, I think they just followed orders!”

Xiu Er looked at her back in puzzlement, why did she feel that her master was so weird today? Logically speaking, she should be very angry, why does she look so happy? Xiu Er was at a loss.
