Chen Gonggong looked at Yun Shuran in a daze as she pulled him aside.

“Concubine Yun, what… what do you mean?”

“Chen Gonggong, I saw that the eunuch just now didn’t do it on purpose, could you spare his life?”

Chen Gonggong was astonished, she was pleading for a slave? But her expression was quite serious.

Yun Shuran was aware of her situation, she wanted to try to see if she could save the eunuch’s life.

Chen Gonggong saw that she wasn’t acting, after all, there were only the two of them around, the emperor was so far away, even if his hearing was good, he wouldn’t be able to hear a conversation at such a distance.

Chen Gonggong sighed lightly: “This servant still needs to ask the emperor, but with your plea, the eunuch will probably be spared.”

The eunuch was unaware and innocent, but the person who temporarily arranged for the eunuch to serve Concubine Yun was not unintentional.

Thinking about this, Chen Gonggong’s expression tightened slightly, Concubine Li’s hand… reached too far.

Yun Shuran bowed slightly: “Thank you, Chen Gonggong.”

That was all she could do, the rest was up to the eunuch’s fate.

Concubine Li had been paying attention to Yun Shuran, she was about to succeed, but the emperor actually saved Concubine Yun!

The emperor… even held Yun Shuran’s waist! Concubine Li’s jealousy was overwhelming, a discarded concubine who had been banished to the cold palace, why would the emperor save her?!

Concubine Li’s face was so ugly that it couldn’t be hidden, after all, she was about to succeed, but her sweetheart had stepped in, it was infuriating!

She stared intently at Yun Shuran, who was attracting attention in the distance, Concubine Yun… must not be allowed to stay.

After what happened just now, many concubines didn’t even dare to release their sky lanterns, afraid that they would suffer the same fate as Concubine Yun.

The families of the officials all fell silent, thinking in their hearts: The palace is truly dangerous.

There were also concubines who blamed Yun Shuran for their ruined mood, how could she come out of the cold palace for no reason? What bad luck.

Especially when they saw the emperor saving her, many concubines were so angry that they wanted to gnash their teeth, she wasn’t hurt, and she even got the emperor to save her, how infuriating.

As soon as the Lantern Festival ended, Yun Shuran couldn’t wait to return to the cold palace, the cold palace was far from here, and it would take her a long time to walk back.

Leng Jun saw her eager expression, she couldn’t hide her emotions at all.

Yun Shuran had to pass by the male lead to leave, she hesitated, wanting to wait for the male lead to leave that passage first.

However, she waited for a long time, the tall and handsome figure stood still.

Seeing that it was getting late, she could only grit her teeth and walk over, when she passed by the male lead’s side, she could clearly feel the male lead’s gaze on her.

“Your Majesty, I will return to my palace to rest.” Yun Shuran had to bow.

She thought that the male lead would pretend not to hear, but the next second she heard the man’s deep voice above her head.

“You were frightened today, arrange a sedan chair to send you back to the palace.”

Yun Shuran raised her eyes in surprise, her eyes were full of shock, send… send her back to the palace?!

Why was he suddenly so concerned for her? Yun Shuran’s heart lifted, there were many concubines standing around, the atmosphere at this moment was even more dead silent.

The concubines were all staring at Yun Shuran, the latter hurriedly lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly: “I thank Your Majesty.”

It didn’t take long before Yun Shuran was seated on the sedan chair in full view of everyone, if eyes could shoot out arrows, she would have been riddled with holes.

The sedan chair was very steady, but her mood was up and down.

What was wrong with the male lead? His concern for her recently was simply bizarre.

Yun Shuran returned to the cold palace, still pondering what had caught the male lead’s attention?

She recalled that before she came, the male lead hadn’t even looked at her, even when she was banished to the cold palace, it was the servants who reported it to her previous palace and directly threw her into the cold palace.

The key point was that she had only met the male lead twice since she came, once at the Moon Festival banquet, but the male lead didn’t pay attention to her the whole time, the second time was when she got lost, only that time did the male lead see her.

She didn’t know if she was thinking too much, or if the flying cloud bun on her head was too heavy, it made her dizzy.

She lay on her back on the bed, she was still more comfortable and safe in the cold palace.

Yun Shuran fell into a hazy state of sleepiness, she felt someone touching her bun.

She opened her eyes, Qi Boshen’s beautiful and stunning face was close to hers, his hand, like jade, was untying her bun.

“Sister…”

“Hmm.”

For some reason, Yun Shuran felt that his clear voice had become much deeper.

“I’m a little scared.” She thought for a few seconds before revealing her true feelings.

She wasn’t very brave, but she wasn’t timid either, she was really afraid of all kinds of torture in ancient times, she was afraid that she would be framed without knowing it.

Qi Boshen met her timid eyes, they were slightly red, like a little rabbit, which was endearing.

“Scared of what?”

“Scared of dying too tragically.” Yun Shuran was afraid of the kind of death where she was tortured before she died, she could barely accept a quick and clean death.

“Isn’t it good to be favored?” Qi Boshen let her black hair loose and put the hairpins and hair ornaments he had taken off aside.

Yun Shuran shook her head: “I don’t want to be favored, I just want to stay with my sister.”

She got up directly and hugged the beautiful neighbor’s waist, she was about to rest her head on his lap, she felt his body stiffen for a moment, the man’s big hand had already supported her cheek.

Yun Shuran thought that he didn’t like such an intimate gesture, she moved a little further out, but still lay on his lap, just the part above his knees.

She sighed softly, feeling that the future was bleak.

Qi Boshen breathed deeply, the fragrant and soft jade resting on his lap had no idea she was making such a dangerous move.

He looked down, the woman’s black hair was spread out on his lap, her beautiful and gentle profile was white and tender, her collar had been pulled open by her movements, the white under her long and slender jade neck was faintly visible, provoking the man to the point of almost bursting with blood.
