âRelax.â Luo Qing Chen gave a shrug and said with a faint smile, âSince I recommended myself to the Righteous Declaration Palace and Concubine Rou was kind enough to accept me, I will definitely repay her.â
âBut if you leave the palace alone, I will stillâ¦â¦â There was a faint tremble in his voice, âItâs not right, Iâll send someone with you.â
âNo, too many people will draw attention.â Luo Qing Chen shook her head, âJust wait for me.â
As soon as her voice fell, she turned and headed towards Concubine Rouâs room.
Song Nan Mo panicked and couldnât control his emotions as he called out to her, âQing Chenâ¦â¦â
Luo Qing Chen pursed her lips. With a smile that was hard to hide, she turned to look at him to say, âWhat is it?â
âIâll wait for you.â Song Nan Mo knitted his brows and said with a heavy expression, âCome back safely.â
âUn.â Luo Qing Chen gave a nod with a warm smile.
At the same time, in the Flying Flower Palace.
The maid Qing Lan served the tea as she said, âEmpress, Concubine Rou has had doubts about the eighth princeâs death. What should we do next?â
âWhat to do?â The empress sipped the tea before saying, âEverything was cleaned up, thereâs nothing to worry about. There is no evidence at all or are you saying that they could trap this one?â
âThe empress is rightâ¦â¦â Qing Lanâs expression changed a bit as she said, âBut that paid used to be from the Harmonious West Palace. If Concubine Li causes trouble for us, it will be a bit annoyingâ¦â¦â
âMaid?â The empress said with a frown, âWasnât Nan Mo investigating this matter?â
âSir Song seems to be assisting from the side.â Qing Lan explained, âThe one who is really investigating this matter is a maid named Luo Qing Chen.â
âHe, heâ¦â¦â The empress gave a cold laugh before saying, âThen thatâs even easier.â
âEmpress, please give your orders.â
âDidnât she already leave the palace?â The empress coldly narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, âSince she went out on her own, then let her never come back to the palace. It so happens that the emperor just went to the Clear Light Temple to pray for the empress dowager, so I have the final say in the harem.â
âYes empress, this servant understandsâ¦â¦â
After receiving Concubine Rouâs permission, Luo Qing Chen changed her clothes and left the palace.
Clear Glass City was some distance from the palace, so Luo Qing Chen only arrived at ten at night.
With the money she had, she was able to quickly find the whereabouts of the carpet.
âThat day, the manager came with an expensive carpet. I thought that it was expensive, but I never thought that she would tell me to throw it away. The further the better.â
Luo Qing Chen knitted her brows, âYou threw it away?â
âOf course.â The boy said, âThe manager has a bad temper. If I didnât throw it away, I wouldnât be able to keep working here.â
âWhere did you throw it?â
âThereâs a swampy forest near Clear Light Temple, so I threw it out there.â
âDo you remember where it was?â
The boy thought about it before saying, âI donât dare go that deep, so it should be the forest in the east. I just threw it there and left. No one has entered that place in decades, so it should still be there.â
âMany thanks.â Luo Qing Chen put the silver on the table and said, âTodayâs matters, I hope this little brother wonât tell others about it.â
âPeople take money to eliminate disasters.â The boy took the silver and said, âMiss, please be assured.â
Luo Qing Chen didnât dare waste time and immediately headed in the direction of that forest.
And that waiter revealed a cold smile as he looked at Luo Qing Chenâs back.
