"Alright! Alright! It's good that you're staying in the palace! You can spend more time with the Empress Dowager! "and your mother —
Wanyan Lie did not finish his sentence. He only had Jing De bring Murong Qiqi to the Everautumn Palace and bring a bunch of things to the palace.
Walking into the Everautumn Palace, Murong Qiqi purposely passed by the place she visited the night before. Looking at the seal on the door, she asked Jing De, "Eunuch Jing De, why is this place sealed?"
"In reply to the Princess, this is where Imperial Consort Yue lived. Later on, the Princess said that it was bad luck for someone to die, so His Majesty had this servant seal this place."
"Oh —" Murong Qiqi nodded. "This palace thinks this place is good. Remove the seal and vacate the room! Since it was used by Yue Lanzhi, change everything inside and make it a place for this palace to receive guests! "
"Yes!" Jing De agreed to all of Murong Qiqi's requests. Before they came, the Emperor had said that all of Murong Qiqi's requests must be fulfilled. Hence, he only needed to remember everything Murong Qiqi said.
Jing De was very efficient. Under his supervision, it only took three days for the place to look brand new. Everything from before was gone. Murong Qiqi also moved into the palace three days later. Other than Su Mei and Su Yue, there was also Feng Xie in disguise.
Empress Dowager Dongfang Lan was the happiest when Murong Qiqi moved into the palace. She was about to ask Aunt Qing to invite Murong Qiqi over when someone reported that the Stabilizing Princess had arrived.
"Quick! Welcome her! "Dongfang Lan was excited. Ever since she found out about the Everautumn Palace's secret from Chun Xing, Dongfang Lan had always wanted to go there. However, she was afraid of attracting Wanyan Lie's attention, so she could only hold it in. Now that Murong Qiqi was living in the Everautumn Palace, her wish was fulfilled.
"Grandmother!" Murong Qiqi did not call her grandmother like usual. Instead, the word 'grandmother' made Dongfang Lan's heart sweet.
"Good girl!" Dongfang Lan was very happy to see Murong Qiqi acting like a daughter. She quickly pulled her over to sit beside her. When Dongfang Lan thought about how she had made things difficult for Murong Qiqi when they had first met, she felt very guilty. Hence, she doted on her granddaughter even more.
"Now that you've moved into the palace, you'll be closer to me. You must visit me often!"
"If Grandma likes it, I'll come every day! As long as Aunt Qing cooks up her signature dishes for me to eat, I won't have any problems! "
Murong Qiqi was only sixteen years old and was still a young girl. Wanyan Mingzhu had already married Feng Xie at this age and was much more mature than her. Dongfang Lan couldn't help but laugh at Murong Qiqi's coquettish behavior. "Good, good, good! I'll let Aunt Qing do it! I'll let you eat your fill, you greedy little cat! "
Madam Qing knew that the grandfather-granddaughter pair had something to say, so she dismissed everyone except for Dongfang Lan and Murong Qiqi.
"Little girl (grandmother) —"
Seeing that the other party had also spoken at the same time, the two of them looked at one another and smiled.
"Grandma, you go first."
Murong Qiqi was here today to talk about Yan Mingyue's matter. Dongfang Lan was Wanyan Mingyue's birth mother. Murong Qiqi felt that it was necessary to tell this old woman who worried about her children day and night.
"I don't know why you want to enter the palace, nor do I know if it's good or bad for you to enter the palace. Right now, there are many rumors outside. I have also heard that the Emperor of the Southern Phoenix Nation personally came to ask for your hand in marriage. Regarding your marriage, I only have one request. That is, as long as you like it, it's fine! "
Murong Qiqi had not expected that Dongfang Lan would be talking about this. Especially since her request was so simple, Murong Qiqi's feelings for her grandmother grew even closer.
"A few days ago, when your uncle was cleaning up the Eternal Autumn Palace, I saved a little palace maid. Some of the things she told me, I think it's necessary for you to know. After all, you're Mingyue's daughter. You have the right to know about your mother. "
Dongfang Lan told Murong Qiqi everything that Chun Xing had said, as well as Feng Xie's note, from beginning to end.
"Now that you've moved into the Eternal Autumn Palace, I'm a little worried. I don't know what Wanyan Lie is thinking. However, my left and right eyes have been twitching non-stop lately. I've already lost my daughter, and I don't want anything to happen to you and Feng Cang. I can't bear the pain of seeing my daughter die before me … "
Murong Qiqi was deeply touched by the silver-haired Dongfang Lan's tearful appearance. She stepped forward to hug Dongfang Lan and told her the truth. "Grandmother, my mother is not dead and my father is still alive. They're not dead!"
"What?!" Dongfang Lan was stunned when she heard this. Her eyes filled with disbelief as she held Murong Qiqi's hand nervously and looked at her anxiously. "What did you say? Mingyue is still alive? Feng Xie is really still alive? "
Although Dongfang Lan had received Feng Xie's note and was certain that Feng Xie was still alive, he had refused to show himself. Dongfang Lan's heart was in turmoil and she had been worried about Feng Xie. Now that Murong Qiqi had told her this, Dongfang Lan finally believed that Feng Xie was still alive.
"Yes! My mother and father are both alive! " Murong Qiqi briefly explained what had happened. When Dongfang Lan heard the truth about what had happened at Yandang Mountain, she slammed her hand on the table. "It's really him! How could he have done such a thing! "
Dongfang Lan's lips trembled with anger. When Wanyan Lie's mother had passed away, she had single-handedly raised Wanyan Lie. In the end, when Wanyan Zhi had to choose a successor, it was because she had supported Wanyan Lie that the throne had fallen into his hands.
However, she had never imagined that the man she had raised would be an ingrate who would use such a despicable method to destroy Wanyan Mingyue's entire family!
Dongfang Lan's anger and agitation were within Murong Qiqi's expectations. She quickly comforted Dongfang Lan in a gentle voice. After a long time, Dongfang Lan gradually calmed down. The first thing she asked after she had calmed down was Wanyan Mingyue.
"My mother's health isn't very good and she needs to rest. But she said that once she's fully recovered, she'll be the first to see you! "
Murong Qiqi did not dare to tell Dongfang Lan about Wanyan Mingyue's condition. She was afraid that Dongfang Lan would rush to the Eternal Autumn Palace in her agitation. She could only use this white lie to hide the truth.
"Her health isn't good? What's wrong? Is she sick or injured? Is there anyone taking care of her? Where is she now? "As expected, Dongfang Lan immediately stood up when she heard about Wanyan Mingyue.
