In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1173 - 1085: Borrowing a Side Palace Hall!

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1085: Borrowing a Side Palace Hall!

The two secret guards exchanged a glance before each taking the item in hand, weighing it slightly, and then smiling as they said, "Thank you, Empress, for the generous reward. Your servants will definitely devote our full effort to carrying out your orders."

"That’s good."

Chunfen was satisfied and went back to report.

Upon lifting the curtain, she heard Jiu Lan’s low voice asking from inside, "Empress, you... do you really intend to go?"

"Go, why not? Since he dares to arrange a meeting with me, I naturally should go to see him. Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that I am afraid of him, that I dare not meet with him?"

The voice of the Empress reached her, causing Chunfen to unconsciously quicken her pace.

After rounding the screen, she pushed aside the Beaded Curtain to enter the inner room and saw the Empress getting dressed, ready to go out.

"But, Empress..."

Jiu Lan hurried forward, "Empress, His Majesty has decreed that you should rest well in the palace and not wander about, as it is not safe outside. Also, it’s getting late, and if you go out, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return before dark."

"I have my own plan, go and make the arrangements quickly."

Remembering the contents of the letter, Su Pan’er didn’t want to wait any longer. The thought of leaving the palace was urgent, and the commanding tone in her speech grew increasingly strong.

"Empress."

Seeing that her persuasion was to no avail, Jiu Lan bit her lip and knelt with a thud, knocking her forehead to the floor twice, "Please consider your servant, Empress. Recently, your servant failed to serve you properly, causing you to be injured and alarmed. His Majesty punished all the serving staff with ten strikes each. His Majesty is worried about you having no one to serve you, so he has put the punishment on record. If your servant errs again, with multiple offenses combined, I will be thrown into the dark abyss for three months’ training!"

Although Su Pan’er didn’t know what the so-called dark abyss was, from Jiu Lan’s frightened quiver, she could naturally tell that it was definitely not a pleasant place.

Surely, that place was like those secret training bases from her previous life.

Back then, she was merely a thug, thrown into that special agent training camp for three years; among the so-called five hundred elites, all dominating figures from various fields, in the end, only five people made it out of the training camp!

And she was one of those five lucky survivors!

Now hearing about a similar fate, she couldn’t help but study Jiu Lan for a moment.

The past life had already become history, and her current comfortable life had almost made her forget that once, she had struggled to survive on the line of death.

Under her gaze, Jiu Lan began to tremble uncontrollably, biting her lip for revealing too much.

"Empress..."

"You don’t have to worry. His Majesty is not a man of murder. He understands that if I truly wanted to leave, you alone would definitely not be able to stop my wishes. He warns you still, only hoping that I would consider the feelings of those around me before taking action and not act impulsively."

Su Pan’er adjusted the cloak on her head and turned back to instruct her, "You stay here. I will naturally speak with His Majesty. For now, go to the Second Princess and see if they need extra hands to help."

Jiu Lan’s face turned pale.

His Majesty had personally assigned her to serve the Empress, and now the Empress was sending her to be with the Second Princess. The Second Princess had only Nanny or wet nurse around her... being sent to the Second Princess’s side was a disguised reprimand.

"Empress! Empress..."

Jiu Lan panicked, but before she could say anything further, Su Pan’er had already stepped out of the Warm Pavilion quickly, with Chunfen and the others following behind. She hurriedly scrambled up and chased out of the Warm Pavilion. But Su Pan’er’s footsteps were rapid, and soon she, along with Chunfen and the others, had left through the Chuigong Gate and disappeared.

Her body went limp, and she slowly knelt to the ground, "Empress..."

Su Pan’er actually did not intend to reprimand Jiu Lan, but she disliked having the people around her pointing fingers at her actions. As her head maidservant, who in secret also served as her secret guard, if she couldn’t even follow orders, why keep her? Moreover, she did indeed have extremely important matters to attend to today, and she must meet that person!

She knew she should wait a bit longer, but she could not wait a moment longer!

However, at least Jiu Lan was right about one thing, her leaving the palace right now would attract too much attention and was indeed not suitable.

But it was not difficult for someone else to be ordered to enter the palace on her behalf!

Wrapped in a purple mink cloak, she quickly walked along the encircling corridor towards the Zichen Hall, passing by many guards and patrolling Imperial Guards who all hurried to kneel in salute as they saw her. Su Pan’er walked by them swiftly, as if she heard them not.

When she arrived outside the Zichen Hall and saw the grand hall heavily guarded, Su Pan’er stopped.

The guards outside the Zichen Hall knelt and saluted upon seeing her, but they also successfully stopped her from entering.

"Your humble servants greet the Empress!"

"All rise, is His Majesty currently in the hall?"

"To report to the Empress, His Majesty is indeed inside."

"That’s good."

Su Pan’er nodded, "Go find Eunuch An for me, tell him I have matters to discuss with him."

She did not directly ask to see Qin Yi. It was the time for the morning court session, and if the whole assembly of civil and military officials were inside, her abruptly entering the grand hall for the morning session would have negative implications.

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, your humble servant shall report," said the leader of the guards, who then entered the Zichen Hall briskly.

It did not take long for him to return, and Eunuch An came out with him.

Eunuch An approached with a sly smile, bowing to Su Pan’er, "Your servant greets the Empress. Does the Empress have free time to visit the Zichen Hall today to see His Majesty?"

"Today I am here to find you!"

Su Pan’er was forthright and did not play games; she openly said, "Here’s the thing, today I intend to borrow the Zichen Hall’s side hall for a while. Could you trouble Eunuch An to ask His Majesty if I might sit in the side hall for a bit?"

She just wanted to borrow the side hall temporarily?

Eunuch An lowered his head, instinctively raising his eyes only to see the Empress staring at him; he quickly bowed even lower.

"Please wait a short while, Your Majesty, your servant will inquire with His Majesty."

"No trouble at all, please take your time, Eunuch An."

It was only after Eunuch An entered the grand hall that the smile on Su Pan’er’s face disappeared.

She wondered if Qin Yi would be willing to lend her the side hall. No matter whether he decided to lend her the side hall or not, he would surely ask the reason why. This way, she would not be going against his earlier intentions.

Eunuch An promptly returned and said, "Empress, His Majesty has agreed. Please follow this humble servant this way."

As he spoke, he gestured for her to follow.

"You have my thanks, Eunuch An."

Su Pan’er glanced at the grand hall of the Zichen Hall and slowly walked ahead, followed by Eunuch An.

Eunuch An occasionally stole glances at her, clearly unsure of her intention for the visit today.

Luckily, he was a clever man; even though he was eagerly curious to know, he still maintained an amicable smile on his face and chatted with Su Pan’er from time to time, not appearing overly obsequious, while keeping an appropriate distance.
