Outside the main gate of the Vermilion Bird Imperial Palace, a stunningly beautiful woman stood anxiously waiting for someone. This woman was none other than Cold-Blooded Seventh.
"Why aren't Little One and Cold-Blooded Fifth out yet? What are they doing in there? What does the Emperor want with them?" Cold-Blooded Seventh looked inside.
She was waiting for Ye Lang to come out. In her opinion, since Ye Lang went in through this door, he should come out through this door as well. At the same time, she wasn't sure what the emperor wanted to see Ye Lang about, and therefore didn't know how long it would take.
She knew one thing: Ye Lang hadn't come out of that door since he went in!
However, she didn't know that Ye Lang, because he was running around the Imperial Palace, had strayed from his original area and had already left through a door in another area.
She waited here for a long time but Ye Lang would never come. After she found out, she lashed out at Ye Lang for a while. At the same time, she felt a sense of powerlessness. It was normal for Ye Lang to forget, but how could Cold-Blooded Fifth forget her as well?
We clearly agreed beforehand that we would wait here!
"Miss, it's already dark, why are you still here?" Finally, a guard who had come off duty stepped forward and asked Cold-Blooded Seventh.
"I'm waiting for Little One... my cousin. She was summoned by the Emperor," Cold-Blooded Seventh said, frowning. "I wonder what's going on. She's been inside for so long. Could she have offended the Emperor?"
"Oh, you mean Lady Lei Di? She not only offended the Emperor, but also the Little Princess. She was chased by our group of brothers before..." The guard immediately thought of Lady Lei Di, who was the only person summoned by the Emperor today.
"... I knew I shouldn't have let him go in alone, what do we do now?!" Cold-Blooded Seventh said anxiously.
"Miss, you don't need to worry. Although she offended the Emperor and the Little Princess, she is protected by the Empress Dowager and is fine now. She left the palace at the South Gate a long time ago!" the guard said with a smile.
"Ah..." Cold-Blooded Seventh was startled. What surprised her was when Ye Lang met the Empress Dowager and how he was being protected by Empress Dowager.
Could it be that they met him when they went shopping yesterday? If so, the Emperor might have been looking for him for this reason?
At this moment, the guard continued, "So there's no point in you waiting here anymore. You should go back and find your cousin!"
"Ah..." Cold-Blooded Seventh was stunned again, then gritted his teeth and said, "Little brat, you'll be sorry later. You left without telling me, making me wait here for nothing all day!!!"
Cold-Blooded Seventh was furious. She realized that she had been waiting here for nothing and had worried about Ye Lang for so long for nothing. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
She was determined to go back and tear Ye Lang to pieces, and in her anger, she forgot to thank and say goodbye to the guard!
The guard smiled. He didn't mind the guard's presence. What bothered him was that a person standing like that in front of the Imperial Palace would pose a threat to their defenses. That's why he had come to talk to Cold-Blooded Seventh.
"Little brat, are you finally willing to come back?" Cold-Blooded Seventh shouted angrily at Ye Lang.
"What are you doing?" Ye Lang asked, somewhat puzzled. "It's not that late now, it's just dinnertime, it's not late!"
"You..." Cold-Blooded Seventh tried to grab Ye Lang, but Ye Lang dodged him.
"Silly boy, I just remembered what we forgot?" Cold-Blooded Fifth said coldly, his expression indifferent as Ye Lang and Cold-Blooded Seventh tried to catch and escape.
"Forgot what?" Ye Lang asked as he fled.
"Cold-Blooded Seventh!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said.
"Oh, it's Cold-Blooded Seventh. Right, I remember now, she's waiting for us at the Imperial Palace. We haven't notified her yet. I'll go there now..." Ye Lang hadn't reacted yet.
"..." Cold-Blooded Fifth and Cold-Blooded Seventh remained silent.
"What are you going to do? I'm already in front of you!!" Cold-Blooded Seventh finally caught Ye Lang, grabbed him in her hand, and then pinched Ye Lang's face with her thumb and forefinger.
"Ah... it hurts..." Ye Lang cried out as he struggled, and Cold-Blooded Seventh loosened his grip slightly.
"It's good that you're back, why are you still pinching me? Let go of me!" Ye Lang rubbed his reddened face, looking pitiful.
"You still dare to say that? You didn't tell me, making me wait for you for so long and worry for so long!!" Cold-Blooded Seventh gently stroked Ye Lang's head with his finger, looking very angry.
"I forgot..." Ye Lang was very honest. If he was wrong, he was wrong. If he knew, he would admit his mistake and accept being beaten or scolded. Of course, the premise was that he knew.
Also, it's because Ye Lanyu and the others weren't there; otherwise, they would have blasted them away.
"Alright, I'll let you off the hook. I heard you have a very good relationship with the Empress Dowager. What's going on?" Cold-Blooded Seventh put Ye Lang down and flicked him lightly.
The most advantageous thing she wanted to know was that the Empress Dowager was protecting Ye Lang. As for Ye Lang offending the Vermilion Bird Emperor and the Little Princess, she didn't want to talk about those things, lest she get angry.
After all, it didn't matter to her what Ye Lang's relationship with the Vermilion Bird Emperor was, as long as she had someone protecting her. As for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, as long as the Empress Dowager approved, even if the Vermilion Bird Emperor objected, it wouldn't matter.
She should be glad she made that decision. If she knew that Ye Lang had gotten into such a big fight with the Magic Cube Vermilion Bird Emperor over a Rubik's Cube, she would definitely be furious.
"That old lady..." Ye Lang replied.
"What old woman?" Cold-Blooded Seventh asked curiously. Wasn't he referring to the Empress Dowager?
"Grandma is the Empress Dowager!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said.
"..." Cold-Blooded Seventh silent. How did the Empress Dowager become an old woman? This little one is really amazing.
"I met her in the Imperial Palace. She wanted the necklace from me for her granddaughter, but I refused. That's how we met," Ye Lang continued.
"That's it? You rejected her, and she's still treating you so well?" Cold-Blooded Seventh asked curiously.
"It's nothing special, it's just like that. A lot of people treat me like that." Ye Lang wasn't surprised at all. In his life, there were countless people who were kind to him, and this was nothing compared to what he had experienced.
Perhaps you could say he's a lucky guy, or perhaps it's related to his personality. His absent-minded nature makes people feel an overwhelming sense of compassion and unconsciously want to take care of him.
Take the Cold-Blooded Fifth in front of us, for example. That's how it is, and the Cold-Blooded Seventh is slowly starting to resemble that as well.
Of course, these are just acts of care and affection, not romantic love, including between Zhen Xiaoyan and the Seventh Princess!
Currently, no one has such feelings for Ye Lang, at least not in their opinion!
