If anyone else said this, they would definitely be punished by Ling Tianyin for being disrespectful.

However, this was Consort Lu.

Therefore, Ling Tianyin obediently got the eunuch to put away the memorials.

“I’ll listen to you.”

He held Consort Lu and the two of them walked out like an ordinary couple.

Ling Tianyin didn’t forget to ask with a smile, “How was Shen’er today? Was he obedient?”

Consort Lu smiled gently. “He has always remembered what Your Majesty said about practicing calligraphy last time. He practiced hard for the entire day today and didn’t even eat.”

“How can he not eat? I’ll eat with him later.”

When the head eunuch behind Ling Tianyin heard this, he couldn’t help but praise Consort Lu in his heart.

Consort Lu was still the best.

His Majesty had been so troubled by government affairs that he hadn’t eaten properly for three days.

His Majesty would listen to Consort Lu’s words.

As expected of the number one person in favor.

Consort Lu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your Majesty, that Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is only at fault for his words. His crime doesn’t deserve death. Please let him off.”

Ling Tianyin raised his eyebrows. “It’s too late. I’ve already given the orders to kill him.”

Consort Lu’s glabella twitched and she couldn’t help but close her eyes.

Ling Tianyin hugged her shoulders tightly.

“When I brought you back, I said that you’re my only family. I’ll take the lives of whoever offends you!”

Consort Lu could only smile.

Ling Tianyin suddenly picked her up horizontally.

“I remember that your leg has been injured before. It will hurt if you walk for too long. I’ll carry you back.”

Consort Lu was a little embarrassed. “Your Majesty, let me down. Your consort can walk by myself. It won’t be good if others see this.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Ling Tianyin smiled heartily. “The palace is my home. I’m carrying my wife in my own home. Who dares to say no?”

The two of them left from the palace path with a group of palace maids and guards.

Little did they know that Ling Tianyin’s empress had been standing behind the festoon gate and heard everything.

An extremely resentful glint flashed across her phoenix eyes.

…

In Great Qi’s capital, June, early summer.

The sun was shining brightly everywhere, and the pedestrians on the street were all hiding in the shade.

Outside Censor Zhang’s house.

A fair hand knocked on the door.

The doorman opened the door and stuck his head out.

It was actually a petite girl who looked so pretty that she seemed like she was carved from ice!

Her watery eyes were very lively.

There was a flush on her fair face.

There was a luxurious carriage parked behind her.

Gu Nuo’er smiled. “Is Uncle Zhang at home? I’m here to send him something!”

She raised the food box in her arms.

It contained the snacks from the Four Seasons Sweet Shop.

Previously, Censor Zhang had mentioned that he liked to eat pastries from the sweet shop.

However, they had to queue every time.

Therefore, the child specially sent it to him.

The doorman shook his head in a difficult position. “Miss, I’m very sorry. It’s not convenient for our master to see guests now.”

“Oh, I see…” Gu Nuo’er pouted and blinked.

Soon, she smiled and raised the food box. “It’s alright. Help me pass this to Uncle Zhang!”

“He likes it. Just say that it’s sent from the sweet shop.”

The doorman received it with both hands and thanked her repeatedly.

Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand and turned to leave.

At this moment!

Behind the doorman, a dark cold wind flashed across the Zhang Manor’s courtyard.

Gu Nuo’er seemed to have sensed something and suddenly stopped.

She turned around, her watery eyes glistening.

The doorman didn’t notice anything and even smiled and said goodbye to Gu Nuo’er.

However, under the bright sun, the courtyard of the Zhang Manor looked a little sinister in Gu Nuo’er’s eyes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Was the black shadow just now an illusion?
