Chapter 539: The Demon Empress Runs Away
Little White Flower and Qing’er arrived early to visit Liu Rushuang, and found her lying on a bench, reading.
“His Majesty looked very angry yesterday, milady… are you alright?” Little White Flower quickly approached her to ask.
Liu Rushuang put her book aside after hearing what Little White Flower said, sat upright and reached out to pinch Little White Flower’s cheeks. “Don’t I look alright?” She smiled lightly.
“You do.”
Little White Flower nodding, and then cheerfully said, “His Majesty really does love you, milady… he is willing to beat up the secret guard and not you, right?”
The corner of Liu Rushuang’s lips twitched at that, and cold sweat streamed profusely from her forehead. She would rather be Lian Jiuhua and get beaten up—in comparison, she was bullied for almost half a day from afternoon to morning, and the very thought of it left her trembling.
“Why aren’t you saying anything, milady?”
Little White Flower could not help asking—Liu Rushuang seemed to be lacking in energy, and her eyes were dull.
Liu Rushuang came to her senses then, and forced a bitter smile. What should she be saying anyway? Admit that the tyrant was reluctant to beat her up?
It was so hard to admit that!
After some thought, she asked, “Do you want to return to the Lotus Lake Island for a visit?”
“…”
Little White Flower appeared hesitant. She felt that there are a lot of amusing things in the palace and did not want to go back.
“You look like you want to go back! Good, I’m bringing you home to stay a few days, alright?”
“No…”
“Of course. I know, I know.”
Before Little White Flower could finish, Liu Rushuang had already taken her hand and head outside, forcing a smile at Qing’er and instructing, “I’m getting a little bored in the palace, Qing’er, so I’ll go out with Little White Flower to play a few days. Keep an eye on the palace for me.”
Qing’er was stunned, but she quickly regained her senses and called out, “Milady, you…”
Nonetheless, both Liu Rushuang and Little White Flower had already left Fallen Phoenix Palace and were gone in the blink of an eye.
Qing’er hence stared at the distant gray skies and sighed, “You really left too quickly, milady.”
Soon, Han Moze arrived at Fallen Phoenix Palace, but all he found was Qing’er.
She bowed respectfully, and when she saw Han Moze’s puzzled look, she carefully said, “Her-Her Majesty said that it was a little boring in the palace, and just left with Little White Flower… she said that she would be back in a few days.”
Qing’er could not help shaking in fear at the sight of Han Moze scowling even harder.
After all, there was only one person in the palace who did not fear the emperor.
“Get out!”
Han Moze’s voice was as cold as ice, and air around could freeze people to death.
Qing’er’s body immediately stiffened, and she quickly replied, “Yes… yes, Your Majesty.”
With that, she promptly made a dash away from the Fallen Phoenix Palace.
Bang-bang-bang—
Every object in the Fallen Phoenix Palace that would break from freezing was broken.
In the end, Han Moze snorted coldly and turned to leave, heading to the divine throne to deal with his memorials… only to destroy his desk and hurl every memorial into the air!
The insolence of that woman! Leaving when she wanted!

Meanwhile, Liu Rushuang had brought Little White Flower to a tavern, only to realize that they did not bring any money.
Just as they were left at a loss of what to do, Nangong Ba found Liu Rushuang and exclaimed in surprise, “Why would you be here, Shuang’er?”
He easily recognized her even though she kept half her face hidden with a veil, while her expression fell apart.
Why would Nangong Ba be here?
“Look, milady! That beautiful man is so much better looking than His Majesty!” Little White Flower smiled innocently.
Though the emperor was quite handsome, he was difficult to approach and would always be glaring. The beautiful man before them was filled with warm smiles in contrast, and she felt closer to him!
