After getting dressed, he cupped his hands and said in a gentle tone, “I am Wen Yuyan. I’m grateful for your life-saving grace. May I ask your name?” His speech was more fluent, though still weak. No medicine could heal instantly, but his complexion looked much better.
“Mei Siyu,” she said softly. When their eyes met, she felt an inexplicable familiarity that she couldn’t quite place.
“Forgive my rudeness, but I feel you are not from here and should not be here,” Wen Yuyan said.
“How did you know?” Mei Siyu was surprised. Did he have some supernatural ability to know she was from another time and space?
“I could see from your eyes that you long for freedom,” he said with a slight smile.
Mei Siyu thought he knew her secret and was worried, but it was just her imagination. If he spread rumors, people might think she was a monster or possessed.
Just as Mei Siyu was about to speak, Xiao Rou rushed in, “Miss, bad news. The Emperor is coming to see you.”
“Really? Then you, you should hide under the bed,” Mei Siyu said nervously.
She just turned around, wanting to say a few words to him, but who would have thought there was no trace of him left, having already disappeared without a trace. How rude to leave without saying goodbye, she couldn’t help but complain in her heart.
”Miss, farewell for now. I live in Fenqing Yuan. You can find me there if you need anything, if you can go out.” Wen Yue Yan stood on the palace wall, speaking extremely suavely, then disappeared.
Just then, Ming Leng Chen had already entered the hall, his face radiant, gently waving a folding fan in his hand, elegant and extraordinary.
”This servant pays respects to the Emperor, long live, long live, long long live!” Xiao Rou bowed respectfully, her tone slightly panicked, afraid that the person would be caught by the Emperor, which would bring disaster to her mistress.
”This concubine greets the Emperor. Why have you suddenly come?” Mei Si Yu asked carefully. After all, the Emperor should be in the Phoenix Ceremony Hall now, so why would he come here?
”What, you don’t welcome me?” He sat in a chair by the window, smiling.
”How could that be? I’m just a bit overwhelmed by the honor!” she said.
