Since Lin Qiao woke up, she had been staying in the Yangxin Hall.
Although not many people knew about this, and only Mo Xiujie and Eunuch Liu in the Yangxin Hall were aware of it, Lin Qiao still thought it inappropriate.
Eunuch Liu was the eunuch who had been with Luo Nanchen since his biological mother passed away.
Although these two people were highly trustworthy, but...
Lin Qiao always had the illusion that she was having an affair with Luo Nanchen.
A vicious step - mother deliberately seducing her adopted son, an immoral and indecent relationship.
...When Luo Nanchen used to often visit the Changle Palace, why didn't she have this feeling?
Could it be that at that time, since she was on her own turf, she felt confident?
...No, at that time, she should have still been坚守 her bottom - line, so she didn't have such thoughts.
Now, feeling guilty as a thief, that was exactly her, Lin Qiao.
Sure enough, mental preparation was very important.
So, after building up her courage countless times, Lin Qiao chose a sunny day when Luo Nanchen seemed to be in a good mood and humbly asked Luo Nanchen, "Your Majesty, can I go back to the Changle Palace to sleep?"
Actually, when he was in front of Lin Qiao, Luo Nanchen was never in a bad mood.
With a handsome face and a gentle smile that made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze, his eyes and heart were filled with smiles.
Just like at this moment, Luo Nanchen smiled slightly, a smile so charming that it could topple a nation. "No."
Although this smile was very beautiful and even made Lin Qiao almost lose her mind, she still tried to keep herself calm. She pouted and asked, "Why?"
Luo Nanchen smiled and ruffled Lin Qiao's hair. "Because I'll be sad if I can't see Xiao Lin."
Lin Qiao: "I won't be sad."
Luo Nanchen: "But I will."
Lin Qiao: "..."
Fine, Luo Nanchen knew that she was soft - hearted and couldn't bear to let him suffer.
So, once again, her operation to return to the palace ended in failure.
Moreover, every time the failure was so hasty. It was really...
So spineless...
...
During her stay in the Yangxin Hall, Lin Qiao had visibly gained some weight.
Before, whether in the 21st century, in the Changle Palace, or traveling outside the palace, Lin Qiao was extremely slender.
She was so thin that it seemed a gust of wind could blow her away.
Although in the original novel, the description of the original owner was that she had a plump figure, the kind that could always make men's adrenaline soar in every aspect.
But maybe it was Lin Qiao's physique that affected her figure, or maybe she worried too much, which restricted her figure.
When she first transmigrated, she was constantly worried about being turned into a human pig by Luo Nanchen. Later, she was constantly worried about Luo Nanchen's fragile mind. And after that, she was constantly worried about whether Luo Nanchen would go astray.
She earned as little as a cabbage - seller but worried as much as a drug - dealer.
Moreover, she didn't even get paid.
So, Lin Qiao didn't inherit the plump and graceful figure of the original owner. Although she wasn't completely emaciated, she was definitely not the charming type.
However, during her stay in the Yangxin Hall, Lin Qiao's figure had visibly become rounder.
In every aspect.
This was thanks to Luo Nanchen's meticulous care and his constant enthusiasm.
During the day, he would watch Lin Qiao finish all the meals sent from the imperial kitchen and take her for a walk in the imperial garden to relax. At night, he was extremely dedicated. On the smooth path of Lin Qiao's figure development, he was diligent and conscientious.
He often kept her up until midnight, which really gave Lin Qiao a headache.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Qiao wanted to return to the Changle Palace quickly.
...Because she didn't get enough sleep.
Then, one day, for some unknown reason, Luo Nanchen unexpectedly agreed to let Lin Qiao return to the Changle Palace, and he even wanted to send her back in person.
However, Luo Nanchen earnestly exhorted her, "No matter what happens after you go back, don't take it to heart. Just leave it to me, okay?"
Lin Qiao was completely confused. "What's going on? Why is it so sudden?"
She decided not to return to the Changle Palace and secretly lurk in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a few days to see what Luo Nanchen was up to.
But...
Although Luo Nanchen didn't send Lin Qiao back in a blatant way in front of everyone, he did insist on watching Lin Qiao enter the Changle Palace before leaving.
This left Lin Qiao with no chance to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Firstly, if she followed Luo Nanchen back, with her limited skills, it was very likely... no, it was definite that she would be discovered.
Secondly...
There was a person standing in front of the Changle Palace.
The grand tutor, Pei Liyu.
