Chapter 205: Reaching Out His Index Finger and Hooking Her Pinkie

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After leaving the Imperial Academy of Medicine, Liu s.h.i.+mei was still deep in thought.

Could she dig up the matter from back then?

What should she do if the unbearable past that was dug out overturned her and Huangfu Lingyao’s current life?

Not living well was not the biggest problem. She was afraid that she would be killed by people from all directions!

Forget it, forget it. Let’s put this matter aside for now. In fact, she still had a lot of things to do at the Grand Chancellor’s Residence!

“Wife, what are you thinking about?” Huangfu Lingyao also had many thoughts in his heart, and he could not tell anyone. As he walked, he looked at her pondering side profile and asked, “Does your knee still hurt?”

“It’s just a little cut. It doesn’t hurt now,” Liu s.h.i.+mei replied.

The two of them had already spent most of the day in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. It was almost time for dinner.

Huangfu Lingyao sent Liu s.h.i.+mei to the Ruyi Hall in the West Palace. His own bedroom was also in the West Palace, which was the Deer Seeking Hall next door. It was very close.

As soon as he entered the West Palace, a palace maid reported, “This servant has met King Dun Yu and Lady Liu. The Empress has an edict to invite you two to Yongle Palace for dinner. The banquet has been prepared.”

The Empress wanted to invite them to dinner, so they had to go.

Liu s.h.i.+mei was also very clear that there were two incidents today. One was Yu Wanqing’s matter, and the second was the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s matter. It was inevitable that the Empress would ask about it.

Therefore, when she walked towards Yongle Palace, she whispered to Huangfu Lingyao, “Lingyao, when the Empress asks you questions later, don’t answer them randomly. Just push all the questions to me, understand?”

She could give a good explanation and take all the responsibility on herself.

“Oh.” Huangfu Lingyao was very obedient.

He lowered his head and saw that her face was filled with concern for him. His heart skipped a beat as he reached out his index finger and hooked it around her pinkie finger.

Liu s.h.i.+mei was slightly stunned, but she immediately broke into laughter. She grabbed his large palm and pulled him forward. She was very natural and graceful, without the shyness of a young lady from a wealthy family.

The Yongle Palace maid who was leading the way did not know what to think when she saw them like this.

Saying that they were shameless and that they were lovey-dovey in broad daylight? However, whether it was the Silly Second Prince or Eldest Miss Liu, they did not look like a couple. Instead, they looked like…

Older sister and younger brother?

It really felt like that. The only thing that did not fit was that the younger brother was too tall and mighty!

Liu s.h.i.+mei did not avoid the gazes of others. She pulled Huangfu Lingyao’s hand into Yongle Palace and walked in front of the Empress before releasing his hand and bowing. “s.h.i.+mei greets the Empress!”

“Where did you guys go?” Qu Yingrong smiled and asked. “After going to Tiger Mountain, why did you go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine?”

Liu s.h.i.+mei was not surprised.

Their whereabouts had never been secretive. The Empress was the master of the harem. How could these things be hidden from her?

She did not panic at all and replied, “Replying to the Empress, s.h.i.+mei went to Tiger Mountain with His Highness. 1 originally wanted to see Big Cat, but 1 didn’t expect to meet Princess Ping’an. Princess Ping’an had some misunderstandings about s.h.i.+mei and had some verbal disputes. With a pull, I fell and her hand was injured. His Highness made a fuss and sent me to the Imperial Academy of Medicine.”

She told the truth and maintained a polite smile on her face. She did not feel guilty at all!

She was confident and self-righteous, saying that she was not in the wrong!
