Feng Tianlan looked up at the s.p.a.cious official road that extended towards the capital, she thought of Xi Lin’s request for help and the other letter, her eyes turned cold and the killing instincts around her intensified.

As she arrived outside the city, the city guard recognized Feng Tianlan at once, he went forward and bowed his head respectfully. “Are you Feng Tianlan, Miss Feng?”

“Was it Consort Chen that asked you to wait for me here?” Feng Tianlan’s cold eyes swept at the city guard.

“It was the Emperor that gives the order, he said when we see Miss Feng, we have to bring you to the palace straight away.”

Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him, “Then lead the way.”

Who knew whether it was Helian’s intention or Consort Chen’s intention.

She was escorted by the city guard to the entrance of the palace and then brought in by the attendant inside, there weren’t any inspections nor safety measures. Two hours later, she was in the Imperial Palace’s Imperial Garden. The imperial maids respectfully waited by the side without the slightest bit of disrespect..

Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at the peonies that were still blooming even under the cold wind, she deeply furrowed her brows. “Why are there only peonies in your imperial garden?”

Furthermore, they were blooming so well that it was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort.

The emperor’s imperial maids who were attending to her by the side quickly replied respectfully, “Miss, the Emperor specially planted these for his beloved woman, these were all planted by the Emperor.”

“And why is that so?” Feng Tianlan was a little stunned when she heard this.

“Because that lady likes peonies, the Emperor planted peonies all over the Imperial Garden after he ascended the throne, in remembrance of her.”

Feng Tianlan furrowed her brows deeply, she was quite puzzled by this. “Sister Lin doesn’t like peonies.”

“But Dai’er likes them very much.”

The steady voice was somewhat ear-piercing in this cold winter.

Feng Tianlan followed the voice and looked over, she saw that Helian Huang was wearing an embroidered five-clawed dragon robe, he looked very domineering, and he faintly exuded the aura of an Emperor, what shocked her most was that beside him was Xi Lin, her face was extremely pale.

“Sister Lin…” Feng Tianlan looked at the pale and slender Xi Lin, she thought of Helian Huang’s answer and quickly stood up from the stool. However, she was at a loss, she was even a little fl.u.s.tered and a little guilty, it was as if she had done something wrong and let sister Lin down.

However, she didn’t do anything, but the words of the imperial maids and Helian Huang made her felt guilty.

“Dai’er.” Xi Lin lifted the corners of her lips, as her face was already pale, with her forced smile, she looked even more bitter.

Helian Huang had already come in front of Feng Tianlan, he looked at Feng Tianlan, who was shorter than him, in his eyes, it was as if there was only her. “These peonies were planted for you.”

“I don’t like peonies.” Feng Tianlan took a step back, and her voice couldn’t help but turn cold.

She was telling the truth, even if she liked peonies very much when she was Shen Qingdai, however, after her reincarnation, everything that had to do with peonies irritated her and she felt disgusted.

“Dai’er likes them very much, the peonies in the Shen family’s courtyard were planted by Xi Jin, Jiang Ying, and I.” It was just a matter of who was more attentive.

“I don’t like peonies,” Feng Tianlan repeated coldly, then, she walked up to Xi Lin and held her cold hand, her heart was filled with worry. “Sister Lin, why are your hands so cold? You…”
