Chapter 60: Accidentally Provoking the Dark Guard, Begging for Mercy Every Night (10)

As soon as you think of Cao Cao, he will appear?

Lin Ran glanced at the person who came and hurriedly closed the doors and windows.

"It's still daytime, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Lin Ran was worried for him and herself.

Lin Shu gave birth to one child and is now pregnant with another, which has been almost two years in total.

It sounded like a long time had passed, but in fact, the number of times Lin Ran had met the man in front of her could be counted on one hand.

She was about to leave the palace and regain her freedom. If someone found him in her bedroom at this time, and the emperor became suspicious and killed her and him as an adulterer, it would be not worth it since nothing had happened!
The other person looked calm, with a smile on his lips, and he was very sure that he would not be discovered.

In front of her, he was still respectful, lowering his eyebrows and looking docile:
“I know Miss Lin is leaving the palace, so if I don’t come here now, I’m afraid I’ll lose the chance to recommend myself.

My name is Xie Fengye, and I am ranked eighteenth in the Dragon Guard Team. If I want to change my master one day, would Miss Lin be willing to be my master?
I will be loyal to Miss Lin until my death!"

Lin Ran: ???
She was so surprised!

I was so surprised that I was speechless: "You...you change your name pretty quickly."

Xie Fengye glanced at her, then quickly lowered his eyes:
"The Emperor has issued an order to release you from the palace. From now on, you will marry on your own. You are no longer Lady Lin, so I should naturally call you Miss Lin."

"That's right!" Lin Ran agreed and felt happy inside.

I really want to sing a song about the feeling of freedom~~~
"Xie Fengye..." Lin Ran stared at him and circled around him twice.

I still haven't figured out what purpose he can achieve by getting close to me.

Even if the emperor wanted to place a spy next to her, what could he find out by following her?

The Lin family is living a good life now, and has no intention of rebelling.

"Look at me when you speak." Lin Ran gave the order gently.

"Yes."

Xie Fengye was tall, so if he wanted to meet her eyes, he had to lower his eyes.

He leaned slightly in front of her, his eyes sincere and deep, reflecting the starlight.

Seeing this, Lin Ran felt a little soft-hearted and couldn't help but pat him on the head.

"Isn't it more promising to work with the emperor? If you follow someone like me who has no ambition, I'm afraid you will never get ahead in this life and waste your life. Are you willing to do that?"

"To be honest, working for the Emperor is too hard and dangerous. I have been receiving inhuman training since I was young, and have endured all kinds of pain and torture. Now I don't want to work hard anymore. I just long for the days of having no ambitions as Miss Lin said! I just hope Miss Lin will not despise me and give me a place to stay."

It sounds quite pitiful.

Lin Ran did not doubt his words. If she had not suffered, she would not have achieved his level of kung fu.

It is not a sin to have worked hard before and not want to work hard now. Lin does not despise it.

"I would like to have a secret guard like you who is highly skilled in martial arts, but will the emperor be willing to let you go?
You are the secret guards for the emperor, so you must know a lot of secrets. If you want to resign, are you sure the emperor won't want to kill you to silence you?"

After all, the emperor killed more than a dozen concubines to silence them just because he could not stand up.

The secret guards are directly controlled by the emperor and are responsible for protecting the emperor and the country. They must know more secrets, and the emperor will definitely not let them go easily.

After staring at each other for a long time, Xie Fengye looked away unnaturally and said in a hoarse voice:

"With Miss Lin's words, I feel relieved. I will take care of the rest."

Hearing him being so confident, Lin Ran couldn't help but wonder if he had some leverage over the Emperor.

"How long will that take?"

"...The time is uncertain. I promise to do it as soon as possible. But please leave a place for me beside Miss Lin." "Okay, as long as you are loyal, I will not let you down in terms of monthly salary."

"Then I would like to thank Miss Lin first!"

After all, the bedroom was not a suitable place for chatting, so after the conversation was basically over, Lin Ran let Xie Fengye leave.

Xie Fengye was a man of decisive and resolute character, and as agile as a flying swallow. He disappeared without any delay.

Lin Ran was left alone, full of joy at being out of the palace and regaining her freedom, as well as secret delight at having a powerful secret guard to guard her in the future. She packed her things briskly.

……

That afternoon.

The sedan chairs that came to pick up people from the palace were parked in a cluster at the side door of the palace.

After all, the concubines are just the emperor's concubines.

When entering the palace, you can only enter through the side door, and when being dismissed from the palace, you can only leave through the side door.

After all, the main gate is exclusively for the Queen.

As soon as the imperial decree to dismiss the concubines was issued, even the palace servants who served them were dismissed.

Lin Ran packed her things alone and waited in the palace for the Lin Mansion's carriage to pick her up.

Lin Shu came over at this time.

She was wearing luxurious bright yellow palace dress that belonged only to the queen, her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and she looked extremely noble. She entered Yuxiu Palace surrounded by a group of palace servants and guards.

"The Queen has arrived——"

When the Queen travels, there is a grand ceremony. No matter how people in the chaos in Yuxiu Palace feel at the moment, they have to kneel down and salute, and shout in unison: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

Lin Shu, with a three-month pregnant belly, maintained the noble dignity of a queen and looked down upon everyone who knelt down to her.

"No need to be polite, everyone get up.

I just wanted to come and see how my sisters have packed their things."

The words just fell.

Suddenly, a dark blue figure rushed up, and a slap was raised high and then fell down.

"Witch!"

It was Concubine De whose makeup was smudged by crying.

When the imprint of her slap appeared on the queen's fair and smooth face, the accompanying palace guards finally reacted and restrained the rebellious Concubine De.

"Witch! You were the one who tricked the emperor into disbanding the harem and driving us away, right? What gives you the right to monopolize the harem and the emperor alone?

When the emperor and I were in love, you didn't even know where to play in the mud. You are such a beauty that tempts the emperor. Have you ever considered how the emperor can maintain his government without a harem?"

Lin Shu covered her red and swollen face and hissed in pain.

I feel like giving birth to quintuplets wasn’t as painful as being slapped like this.

But considering that Defei is her own sister and her makeup is smudged due to crying and she looks so haggard and pitiful, Lin Shu is magnanimous and does not care about it.

"Sister, you are wrong. The emperor is wise and brave, and he is excellent in governing. Why does he need to rely on women in the harem to stabilize his government?

Besides, the emperor doesn't like you at all, and he hasn't summoned you to sleep with him for a long time. Rather than being a widow in the harem, alone and lonely guarding this cold palace wall, it's better to leave the palace and find another good man, two people in one room, three meals a day, four quarters a day, and have a few babies, wouldn't that make others envious?

I was really thinking about you, sister, but you misunderstood my good intentions. I am really disappointed!"
