Chapter 525: Chapter 516: Disappearance of the Divine

"I remember the butler said you had been waiting in the lobby for nearly three hours when we took the elevator," Jiang Lingxi glanced at her wrist still being held, without pulling back, "How could you be so sure I would go out again tonight, there’s no longer that villa?"

Shen Yunqing: "While in the lobby, I called Tong Yue, and she said you’d be resting for a few days."

Having a few days to rest meant no one would disturb her during those days, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Even if she went out wandering in the middle of the night and returned the next morning to collapse into sleep, no one would come to disturb her.

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but curl her lips, "Luckily, you’re not my enemy; otherwise, I wouldn’t let you live another second."

Understanding her so well, even to the extent of easily grasping her next move.

"Would Your Majesty blame me?"

Jiang Lingxi pondered for a moment and shook her head.

The formation of this habit of hers could only be considered coincidental.

Although she was revered as the Holy Emperor, she was not a saint.

Being human, she also experienced joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but in front of others, she had to maintain emotional stability with everything under control. Only behind closed doors could she slightly indulge herself.

There were many ways to indulge, and she only found the most suitable way for herself by accident.

That is to temporarily abandon the identity of the Emperor, leave the majestic Imperial Palace, and go to a place where no one knew her and wouldn’t be alarmed by her identity, to do things she couldn’t usually do.

Such as fishing.

Such as mowing the lawn and planting flowers.

Or even assisting in sheep birthing.

Or just sitting on the roof and quietly watching the moon for a night.

No one would say by her ear: Your Majesty, doing these things does not suit your status. Your Majesty, you should rest well to have the energy for the morning court review of memorials tomorrow.

She just occasionally wanted to clear her mind for a bit!

Occasionally is enough!

This habit wouldn’t affect anyone, and the effect was quite good.

Thus, unknowingly, the habit formed.

The only unexpected thing was that the villa she had carefully selected, kept secret from everyone including Qing Yuan, using her small savings to purchase, turned out to be Shen Yunqing’s mother’s dowry!

This fate...what could she say?

"This is my first time coming here."

"Hmm, I know."

During the three hours in the lobby, Shen Yunqing didn’t just call Tong Yue; the rest of the time, he was waiting.

He reflected on almost everything the person in front of him had done since waking up from the hospital till now.

Only then did he realize that this time’s rest was the first real break the person had in this half year.

No assistants following and constantly checking schedules, nor a brief rest of a dozen minutes during filming intervals; for someone highly vigilant, only complete relaxation counted as true rest, while the previous ones didn’t count.

Thus, he was ninety percent sure that this time, Your Majesty would sneak out at night just like in the past life, find a place where no one knew her, and do things she wouldn’t usually do.

He originally just planned to follow quietly like before, watching her return safely, without intending to show himself.

But the unexpected came too suddenly; at that time, he couldn’t consider anything else, realizing he had rushed over to embrace her in his arms.

He was psychologically prepared for this exposure.

"I originally planned to go home tomorrow and meet An’an over the weekend," Jiang Lingxi said, frowning, "But would they notice something’s off about me?"

Although she had vented a bit tonight, it was forcibly stopped due to the accident, leaving her feeling somewhat unsettled.

She didn’t want to see her close ones in such a state.

She wanted to be capricious once, without caring about the original plan.

"Then change the day," Shen Yunqing smoothly suggested, "Comfort for yourself is the most important; only when you’re comfortable can those around you feel comfortable. If you don’t want to, don’t force yourself."

Jiang Lingxi instantly found the words agreeable, "You’re right, let’s do that."

Shen Yunqing glanced at the clock on the wall, "It’s almost one o’clock."

Jiang Lingxi stood up, "Driving you away so late would make me seem a bit unreasonable; rest in the guest room tonight, just don’t disturb me."

Shen Yunqing smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking me in."

Jiang Lingxi turned and walked towards the master bedroom, listening to the sounds of dishes being tidied in the dining room behind her; surprisingly, she didn’t find it very off-putting.

In the past, at this time, she couldn’t tolerate anyone lingering around her.

Not even Hidden Guards, who were sent far away by her.

Only when she heard the master bedroom door close did some worry appear in Shen Yunqing’s expression.

Now is different from ancient times; even if she shook off Hidden Guards in the past life, he could ensure absolute safety in that villa.

But in this modern age, though he was lucky enough to notice the accident and arrive in time this time, what if an accident happened again next time? Could he be so lucky again?

What should he do about Your Majesty’s habit?

Jiang Lingxi wasn’t aware of the worry beyond the door; she simply took a shower, got into the messy bed she didn’t make after getting up, and felt quite light-hearted at the thought of having nothing to mind or deal with over the next few days. Soon, she drifted to sleep.

The following morning, the guest room door was quietly opened by someone.

Shen Yunqing came out gently, glanced at the still tightly closed master bedroom door, pursed his lips, walked to the living room, left a note, and quietly left.

Jiang Lingxi slept till noon.

Upon leaving the master bedroom, she saw the slightly ajar guest room door, pushed it open to find the bed neatly made, curtains drawn, with sunlight making the room look especially bright and clean.

It was as if no one had stayed last night.

She took another look and closed the door, leisurely wandered to the living room, and found the note on the coffee table.

"I have contacted father-in-law, mother-in-law, and An’an, there will be no calls for the next two days. Notified the butler that meals will be delivered to your door on time. Rest well; no one will disturb you the next few days. Call if you feel like it."

Jiang Lingxi, holding the note, went to open the front door and saw a small food cart parked outside with food placed in a transparent heater, but no one else around.

She took the lunch from the top layer and the chilled fruits from the bottom in, then hooked up the door’s surveillance feed to the living room TV.

While eating, she saw a middle-aged woman in work clothes silently taking away the food cart from the surveillance video.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Lingxi found the tea leaves stored earlier, boiled a pot of water, and made herself some tea. Along with the leftover desserts and fruits from the meal, she laid them out on the balcony coffee table in the living room, then reclined on the lounge chair next to it laid with a plush throw.

The afternoon sun hid behind clouds; it was no longer harsh, and she spent the afternoon leisurely with tea, dessert, fruits, and sunlight.

At exactly six in the evening, the TV’s surveillance interface showed the lady with the cart coming again; after delivering the food, she left.

Jiang Lingxi took dinner in and put the used plates on the cart, and halfway through eating, she saw the same lady returning to take the cart away.

After dinner, she decided to write.

One room in her house was set as a study, but the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone she bought were used less than twice; she took them out and arranged them on the desk.

Dipping a brush in ink, she began to write freely.

Since she slept enough during the day and had a siesta in the afternoon, she naturally didn’t feel sleepy at night.

Unknowingly, she wrote deep into the night.

Until her wrist got sore, she casually placed the brush, returned to her room to rest.

She led a peaceful and leisurely life, seemingly isolated from the world, but for the outside world, it was as if she had been erased and mysteriously hidden.

Even Tong Yue was informed by Shen Yunqing to not disturb, let alone others.

Nobody could track her movements.

Media and paparazzi, who were believed to be omnipresent in the entertainment industry, were finally aware that Jiang Lingxi might genuinely be an exception.

When she didn’t want exposure, she could entirely vanish in front of everyone.
