Chapter 2217: Chapter 2125: Really Hard to Please 2

Lu Hualiang’s face lit up with joy; has she forgiven him?

Following inside, he saw Xia Weibao sitting by the table, calmly sipping a cup of tea.

For some reason, seeing her so calm made Lu Hualiang suddenly feel uneasy.

As Xia Weibao was about to finish her tea, he picked up the teapot and poured her another cup.

Xia Weibao stared blankly, with a struggle and reluctance in her eyes.

Ultimately, she took a deep breath, calmly put down the teacup, and then looked at him calmly, "Lu Hualiang, let me leave the palace."

Lu Hualiang’s expression changed, "What did you say?!"

"Let me leave the palace."

"Impossible!" He clasped her hand tightly in a bit of a panic, "Last night was my fault; I shouldn’t have left you alone. It won’t happen again, I promise."

Xia Weibao withdrew her hand and shook her head, "It’s not about last night. I’ve thought it over; the palace isn’t suitable for me."

She knows nothing about this place.

It feels like entering a splendid cage; if she spends her whole life here without freedom, she can’t imagine that kind of life.

Too lonely, eating alone, sleeping alone, not even having someone to confide in.

Leaving the palace means facing people with trepidation, picking a flower means being surrounded and attacked by many people, risking beheading.

Having to watch the faces of those women—thinking about such a life is terrifying.

She’s too accustomed to freedom, too wild to adapt to palace life.

So, let her go.

However...

Looking at the man in front of her, her heart suddenly ached, her nose tingled, and she was about to cry.

Xia Weibao turned her head away, refusing to let herself soften.

"Are you blaming me? Give me some time, let me handle everything..."

"I’m sorry, but I really can’t adapt. I can’t imagine eating alone, sleeping alone, waiting to see you when I’m summoned like a street-side cabbage, having to kneel upon seeing people when going out, unable to do anything, constantly facing the threat of being killed.

You promised you would always be with me, but you left me here alone and ignored me. You said I didn’t need to learn any etiquette, yet Consort Lan forced me to kneel.

You said my head wouldn’t be chopped off, but they want to execute me. I don’t even know what I did wrong, but they’re after my life!

Have you ever thought that if it weren’t for my martial arts skills, I might already be a corpse..."

Speaking excitedly, she choked up.

The more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt.

She entered the palace for him, but now it’s like being treated like cabbage in a market, wanting to see him even a little requires being picked and chosen.

Lu Hualiang’s heart ached to the point of suffocation, "It was my fault for not handling it well, it won’t happen again. I promise."

Xia Weibao shook her head, "Let me go."

Lu Hualiang abruptly stood up, "I still have Memorials to the Throne to review. I will leave now; you should rest well."

After speaking, he turned and hurried away, his steps quick, almost as if fleeing.

Xia Weibao, "..."

What does this mean?

After sitting for a while, she stood up and walked outside, only to find a few maidservants at the door.

These maidservants were different from the others in Snowflake Palace, their gazes sharp, bodies sturdier, they must be trained martial artists.

Xia Weibao looked at them cautiously, "Who are you?"

"Replying to the young lady, His Majesty instructed us to protect you well."

Xia Weibao’s eye twitched, does she need protection?

Who knows what whim that man is on, so she paid no attention and walked toward Wang Cai’s direction.
