Chu Yue nodded. "Don't worry, I'll not put down my guard. They won't be able to do anything to Miss."
"That's good."
Xiao Yun finished cleaning up and then prepared some night snack for Nan Hua. She walked into Nan Hua's room after knocking and revealed her intention of sending the night snacks.
When Xiao Yun entered, she saw her Miss sat beside the window. Her visage could only be partially seen because of the moonlight. It reflected her clear countenance and also the indifferent expression on her face. Her beautiful appearance was as clear as water, making one easily mistake her for a beautiful piece of jade.
Looking at this unusual lighting, Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment. The light from the moon made Nan Hua looked like a beautiful jade statue and with her indifferent expression, one would think of her as an ice princess.
It gave both beautiful yet cold picture.
"Miss, we have cleaned the residence. There wouldn't be anyone who come to bother you while you're staying here." Xiao Yun put the snack beside Nan Hua.
Nan Hua hummed lightly and still looked outside towards the wide sky in front of her. Her gaze revealed her coldness and indifference, but it looked so enchanting. "One."
One?
Xiao Yun blinked before understanding. "Yes, Miss."
"Two tomorrow."
Tomorrow?
Hearing the word, Xiao Yun was stunned and understood that Nan Hua had decided that it was the right time. Even though Nan Hua didn't do much and looked like she had only minded her own matter, there were small tiny webs that she had weaved across the entire residence.
In accordance to what she wanted, those pieces whom she wanted to fall wouldn't be able to stand anymore.
One, Nan Xin.
Two?
At this time, Xiao Yun decided to stay silent and watched the show that Nan Hua had prepared. She stood at the side and simply watched as Nan Hua still sat on her position, looking towards the night sky above. No one knew what she was thinking from her cold and indifferent expression.
The next day, there were two pieces of news that spread.
First, His Majesty had selected the woman who will be married to be his Empress. She would be married to the Imperial Family in a few weeks after completing the necessary preparation. In fact, it was already being rushed because Emperor Yang Zhou wanted to have his inauguration as fast as possible.
Thankfully, the preparation for his marriage had been started from a long time ago. It was only quickened now that they knew who the bride would be.
"Xiao Family is really fortunate to be able to be selected as the Empress." Xiao Yun was the one leading the gossip this time. Now that Nan Hua was basically grounded, it would be even rarer for Nan Hua to come out of this quarter.
Not that she liked to walk around before either.
"Mhm."
