Di Yaoluo paused for a moment, glanced at her sideways, and Chu Ci's eyes also felt inexplicably guilty. She subconsciously withdrew her hand, looking dazedly at Di Yaoluo for a while before scratching her hair and mumbling unclearly: "Your Highness is going into the palace?"

  The Emperor gently raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Ci: "If the queen wants me to stay, it's not impossible."

  "No, no, Your Highness, you go ahead and attend to your duties..." Chu Ci hastily waved his hand, wanting to bid farewell to Emperor Yu.

  Fortunately, Emperor Tong did not bother her again and just let her wait for his return.

  Chu Ci felt that feeling was very strange, especially when she saw Emperor Yu's faint smile in her eyes before leaving, as if something slowly bloomed from the tip of her heart...

  Chu Ci's heart was beating a bit wildly, and it wasn't until Emperor Mo left that she felt a little dazed and sat back down on the couch. She couldn't help but lean forward again, lift her hand to look at the star-patterned chain on her wrist, thinking of the black peach blossom in Emperor Mo's heart. Her fingertips gently stroked the ghost-patterned beads on the chain, and as she looked at them, a certain image floated into her mind, causing Chu Ci's face to heat up slightly. She hastily pulled up her sleeves and composed herself, afraid that she would continue to indulge in such wild thoughts.

  However, although she herself didn't feel anything was wrong, when going to the Ming government office to handle the case, Cheng Qi clearly felt that she was somewhat absent-minded, especially after calling her several times without seeing any reaction from her.

  Cheng Qi couldn't help but walk over and wave her hand in front of her, at which point Chu Ci, who had been buried in the documents, finally came back to his senses, blinked lightly, and stared blankly at Cheng Qi's outstretched fingers. "What are you doing?"

  "What are you thinking about?"

  "What was I thinking?"

  "It's not... the expression on your face just now was as if you were... "Cheng Qi racked her brains to think of a suitable phrase, and finally found one that fit quite accurately, "in love..."

  “……！！” Chu Ci didn't say a word, and with a wave of his hand, the files on the side were blown over, scaring Cheng Qi to hug the file and cover her head, saying in a wronged tone, "Chu Ci, don't get angry first, I have something serious to tell you!"

  Chu Ci stood up and looked at him coldly: "Speak."

  Jian Chu's expression slightly calmed down, and Cheng Qi also cleared his throat and said seriously: "Rong Lin is back."

  Chu Ci's first reaction was "Who is Rong Lou", but after hearing Cheng Qi's tone, she felt that she knew this Rong Lou, which means they met within the past two years.

  "Chu Ci calmly opened his mouth and said: 'Oh, then what?'"

  Cheng Qi heard her tone was so cold, and frowned slightly: "Chu Ci, you're too much! Rong Lian has been out on a case for several months, and he's just returned. How can you have this attitude?"

  Chu Ci suddenly reacted and came over. Cheng Qi's words also made him curious, so he walked down from the book desk, "Where is she?"

  Cheng Qi said with some embarrassment: "She said she'll go home and rest for a day before coming over..."

  Chu Ci didn't quite understand what Cheng Qi was being shy about.

  "What I mean is, are we going to hold a welcoming ceremony tomorrow or not..." Before Chu Ci could respond, Cheng Qi continued with an apologetic tone.

  Chu Ci raised an eyebrow and looked at him with some suspicion, "Can't you speak properly?"
