Chapter 299 Disappeared in the blink of an eye
The Grand Emperor slowly raised his head and looked at Su Yue, with a hint of uncertainty and expectation in his eyes, and asked softly: "Really?"
At this moment, she was no longer the high and mighty Empress Dowager, but merely a grandmother who longed to care for her grandson and was full of inner conflicts.
Su Yue nodded affirmatively without hesitation, her eyes full of determination.
She thought to herself that with the Emperor's approval and help, Xiaofan would definitely find it much easier to act in the future than if she were to do it alone.
Su Yue looked at the sky and estimated that the time was almost up, so he asked to leave: "Grand Majesty, it's getting late. Su Yue dares to leave."
The Emperor Tai was currently harboring all sorts of thoughts about his grandson, and when he heard Su Yue's words, he simply waved his hand in agreement.
Su Yue walked out of the palace under the guidance of the female official. She was in an extremely happy mood.
I didn't expect that after entering the palace, I would successfully complete two major tasks.
Although the process was full of twists and turns and thrills, and almost made the emperor angry several times, the goal was achieved after all, right?
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more proud she felt. A bright smile unconsciously appeared on her face, and even her steps became lighter.
As she walked, she was secretly thinking about her next plan in her mind, completely immersed in the joy of success.
She followed behind the female official, humming a little tune from time to time. Her relaxed and cheerful appearance formed a sharp contrast with the nervousness and uneasiness when she first entered the palace.
When they were halfway there, Su Yue's excitement had already passed.
She subconsciously looked up at the high walls of the imperial palace. The walls seemed to reach straight into the sky, completely isolating this world from the outside world. An indescribable feeling of oppression instantly surged into her heart.
Su Yue couldn't help but think to herself that if she were trapped in this seemingly majestic but actually dull place for the rest of her life, she would probably go crazy.
Along the way, the surroundings were eerily quiet, with very few people walking around, and even fewer palace maids and eunuchs.
Su Yue couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although the palace was not bustling with people, it was not so deserted.
She couldn't help but wonder secretly, could something big happen today?
Why is there an unusual atmosphere of tranquility throughout the palace?
Su Yue's gaze turned to the female official in front who was not saying a word and was just leading the way.
The female official had a calm face and her eyes were fixed on the front, as if she was indifferent to everything around her.
Su Yue opened her mouth and was about to ask, but suddenly remembered that there were many rules in the palace. If her curiosity touched any taboos, it would be troublesome.
So she had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, silently put away her curiosity, and continued to follow the female official.
As she walked, Su Yue couldn't help but secretly look at the surrounding environment.
The vermilion palace wall looked even more vibrant and eye-catching under the sunlight, but it also made her feel more depressed.
Occasionally, a few small grasses grow in the cracks of the bricks and stones of the palace walls, swaying gently in the breeze, as if telling the history and vicissitudes of this palace.
Su Yue thought to herself, how much helplessness and sorrow are hidden behind this seemingly magnificent palace.
Her eyes fell on the bluestone slabs on the ground. The bluestone slabs had been polished smooth by time, and some mottled marks could be vaguely seen on them. Perhaps they were the marks left by countless people who had walked on them.
Su Yue sighed slightly, quickened her pace, and tried to stop herself from thinking about those trivial things, but the feeling of depression kept lingering in her heart and could not be shaken off.
Seeing that there were few people around, Su Yue became bolder and began to look around.
They passed by one unknown palace after another. Su Yue was full of curiosity and tried to look through the doors and windows to see what was inside, but in the end she saw nothing.
Then, they walked through a long corridor. Su Yue's eyes were attracted by the green plants and flowers around them. Those flowers and plants were trimmed very delicately, colorful and beautiful.
At this moment, Su Yue saw a curled up figure from a distance.
Su Yue was startled and quickly quickened her pace to catch up with the female official in front of her. She called her carefully, "Sir, I saw someone over there. Is it okay?"
There was a hint of tentativeness in Su Yue's tone and her eyes were full of caution.
She quickly calculated in her mind that if the female official said she didn't care, then she would definitely not act on her own.
When she watched TV dramas before, she knew that it was normal for people to die in the palace. She didn't dare to get involved blindly, so as not to bring trouble to herself.
But if the female official asked to take care of it, she would be willing to help. After all, this female official was the Grand Emperor's person, and nothing big should go wrong if she worked with the Grand Emperor's people.
Su Yue stared at the female official's face, waiting for her answer, her heart hanging in the air, feeling uneasy.
The female official looked in the direction of Su Yue's finger. A hint of surprise first flashed in her eyes, and then she fell into deep thought, her body motionless, obviously weighing the pros and cons of the matter.
Su Yue stood aside, not daring to breathe, and even deliberately breathing lightly, for fear of disturbing the female official's thoughts.
The female official's eyes were full of indifference, as if this kind of thing had long been commonplace in her eyes and was not surprising.
Su Yue secretly observed the female official's expression and became more and more uneasy.
After a long time, the female official seemed to have finally made a decision. She slowly raised her foot and walked towards the curled up figure.
Su Yue didn't dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly followed closely.
They quickly came to the man's side. The female official squatted down and reached out to gently turn over the figure curled up on the ground.
When she saw the man's face clearly, the female official's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, she knelt down and gently nudged the man with an uncontrollable trembling voice, "Seventh Prince?"
When the female official knelt down, Su Yue also knelt down as if it was a conditioned reflex.
When she heard the lady-in-waiting address this man, she was shocked.
The Seventh Prince? With such a noble status, why didn't he have a single attendant?
He had been lying on the ground for a long time, and no one noticed him?
Countless questions flashed through Su Yue's mind, but she didn't dare to ask out loud. She just lowered her head and waited quietly for what might happen next.
At this moment, the atmosphere around became increasingly solemn, as if even the air had solidified.
Su Yue could feel her own heartbeat particularly clear in the silence. She didn't know what had happened to the unconscious Seventh Prince, nor did she know what consequences this would bring to them.
The female official reacted very quickly. She turned around and said to Su Yue anxiously, "You stay here and I'll go call for help!"
Before she finished her words, she turned around and trotted away, her skirt fluttering in the wind, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
