Chapter 1238: Nonsense
Madam Luo was the wife of Master Zuo Xiangcheng. Her daughter was also in the palace. She was Imperial Concubine Yu. It must be that the wives of the two families dislike each other. To show off, by comparison, Imperial Concubine Ying’s mother talked nonsense.
At that time, she drank two glasses too much, and her mind was a little unclear. People with discerning eyes should have known it in their hearts.
But such rumors still spread and even got into Bai Zhi’s ears.
In this way, he had reason to doubt whether someone was deliberately spreading rumors to let him and Bai Zhi had a conflict.
“Did you find out who is spreading rumors outside?”
Zhou Awu shook his head: “We are still investigating. There are already some clues, it should be soon.”
Chu Yan nodded: “Well if you find it, report it quickly.”
Zhou Awu took a look at Bai Zhi. He saw that her face was pale, showing no emotion, so he didn’t say anything, turned around, and left.
After Zhou Awu retired, Chu Yan said to Bai Zhi: “You heard it too, I am very innocent. I can guard against those women in the harem, but I can’t guard against the mouths of these gossip women in the outer palace. What do they want to say? They just say whatever they want.”
Bai Zhi lowered her eyes and continued to read her book. She seemed to be the same as before, but Chu Yan knew that it was quite different. The cloud was cleared, and the sun suddenly appeared on the pretty face that was originally covered with clouds.
“Zhi’er, I said that as long as you are in this life, it will never change. Can you believe me?”
Bai Zhi didn’t raise her head, she just shook her head lightly: “I don’t believe it!”
“You don’t believe me? Why?” He wanted to pick her chin and force her to look into his eyes to answer, but he was afraid that such an action would appear rude and offend her.
“Because you are the emperor!”
Chu Yan was stunned. Then looked at Bai Zhi’s drooping eyelids and remained silent for a while.
That’s right. Because he was the emperor, there were so many women in his harem. Even though he doesn’t want to pay attention to them, those women were his women in name, which was undeniable.
Bai Zhi closed the book, put it lightly on the table, and stared at Chu Yan’s confused eyes: “A lifetime is so long that you don’t even know what will happen in the future, and a lifetime can be short that maybe tomorrow your life will be over. Chu Yan, don’t make promises casually, making promises easily but failing to keep them is more hurtful than not making promises.”
She murmured in her heart: Chu Yan, I can’t promise you anything, because my fate is not completely controlled by myself. I don’t know what will happen to me in the future. There are too many uncertainties. I can’t promise you anything until I’m sure, and I can’t guarantee how long I can stay by your side.
That night, she was suddenly pulled into a strange world by Lin Yang. Lin Yang told her that he already had a way to get her back and told her to wait a little longer, and he would be able to pick her up soon.
Lin Yang wanted to pick her back, but what she picked up was her soul. She had no strength to resist at all, and maybe one day, Bai Zhi in this world would disappear completely.
She couldn’t say such cruel words, and she couldn’t say them to anyone.
Chu Yan was a little embarrassed. He didn’t want to continue this topic. He didn’t fulfill his original promise, but he wanted to do it. He has been working hard for it until now and never gave up.
He felt that he would be able to do it. The process was rough, but the result would be beautiful, he firmly believed it.
Bai Zhi was about to get up and go to the kitchen to make lunch for Chu Yan when the housekeeper hurried in and said to Bai Zhi: “Miss, someone from Master Zuo Xiangcheng’s residence came to invite Miss.”
