Ye Jiayao was so grateful for the heartwarming words and support that Uncle and Auntie gave her. She also appreciated them rushing over to her even when they live so far away when they found out what was happening to her.
The only thing she didn’t understand was Chunyu. After all that he did to hurt her, why was he helping her? What’s his angle? He wasn’t showing himself these days so she couldn’t really ask him.
Ye Jiayao initially wanted Uncle and Auntie to stay in the courtyard, but Uncle said that Chunyu has already made living arrangements for them as well as a horse carriage to fetch them from here. Besides, staying here would expose her identity. They should not contact each other for the time being.
The next day, someone from the palace summoned Ye Jiayao.
Ye Jiayao was not familiar with the eunuch who came for her and that worried her. She was naturally very apprehensive of palace summons given what happened with Consort Mei.
“Did His Majesty summoned me to make a royal meal?”
“Yes.”
“Do you work at Zi Chen Palace?”
“What are you asking so many questions? Just hurry up,” the eunuch urged, annoyed.
“Then… can I ask what your surname is?” Ye Jiayao smiled meekly.
“My surname is Yao. Can we go now?”
Ye Jiayao nodded and turned to tell Little Lu, “Go tell Manager Zhao that I left with Eunuch Yao to the palace. Tell him to settle the things in the restaurant.”
Ye Jiayao followed Eunuch Yao into the palace. After walking for a while, she found something amiss. Although the palace buildings look similar, she has a good sense of direction and she took special notice the previous time she went to Zi Chen Palace and the imperial kitchen. She was certain that this route doesn’t lead to either Zi Chen palace or the imperial kitchen.
“Eunuch Yao, where are we going?”
Eunuch Yao said in a sharp voice, “Just follow me.”
He ignored Ye Jiayao from then on.
Ye Jiayao silently memorized the route.
She was mentally grumbling when she suddenly saw a familiar face.
It’s Susu.
Ye Jiayao quickly said to Eunuch Yao, “Eunuch Yao, I am going to greet the Third Young Master Su.”
Before the eunuch could even react, Ye Jiayao was already running over to Susu.
“Third Young Master Su, what a coincidence! I would’ve never thought that we’d run into each other here.”
Su Yi turned and a brief flash of shock passed through his eyes. He really didn’t want to exchange pleasantries with Li Yao but he still nodded perfunctorily.
“Third Young Master Su, can I inquire whose palace is up ahead?”
“The Empress’ Ning He Palace,” Su Yi answered.
Ye Jiayao’s brows furrowed. Was the Empress Dowager looking for her?
Su Yi glanced at the eunuch that was standing behind Li Yao and frowned. “You don’t know who summoned you here?”
Ye Jiayao shook her head and laughed bitterly. “The people in the palace are weird. They always do things secretively that I just tremble with fear and apprehension every time I enter here. Hopefully, it wasn’t like the last time where I almost didn’t make it out.”
