"Is there anything else on Duke Xie?"
Li si answered "no miss"
Gu meiya said softly "keep an eye on that person"
Li si puzzled and asked. "Why miss?"
Gu meiya smiled. "Father Emperor must have secret plans with duke. We must keep our eyes and ears open, if not we will counter attacked"
Li si however unable to understand. "Miss why couldn't miss ask the emperor himself directly?"
Gu meiya shook her head. "Father Emperor always had his own plans. Since he suddenly asked to reveal my identity he must be meaning that there will be changes in the court. And it may lead to my reveling of my identity."
Li si saluted "this subordinate obeys," and he vanished.
Gu meiya looked at the summer sky. It still afternoon. She really cannot fathom what her father emperor thinking about. She can only go with the flow.
She also had to deal with her mother. Who is not pleased with the current situation, the best thing is to stay hidden and appear in time for the mid-autumn festival. With that she packed some stuff and left palace for good.
In the autumn moon palace after the sixth princess left. The entire hall became silent. Hua xiwan looked at the door and closed her eyes.
In the end no matter how much she had tried to stop her daughter she had grown her own wings and started to fly away.
She will not be able to control her anymore. Nor she will be able to protect from these greedy people.
After Gu meiya was born she never wanted to have another kid. Such she closed the doors on her beloved man.
She bought up her daughter in the closed doors. Ensuring no harm reached her. She can do that only. But her daughter... she became what she afraid of her becoming.
A phoenix whose wings are spread wide. Unlike herself whose a trapped phoenix.
Ye lan appeared in the hall. Saluting her master she asked "does her highness wants to bring back the sixth princess?"
Hua xiwan shook her head. "The girl had grown now. She will go on the path she chose for herself."
Ye lan was surprised. Her highness always ensured the sixth princess safety. And controlled her. But now she is letting go?
Hua xiwan sighed. "Her father sending me a message through this. It must be his idea to expose her to the world. But this one never wanted it to be in this way."
Ye lan can't help but say "your highness must not think too much. The sixth princess is very powerful. She will definitely be able to surpass in your highness"
"That's what I am afraid of. That girl is too independent. She will think it's her job to protect her loved ones. And become too headstrong."
Ye lan understood what worries the imperial concubine. Years ago her highness did the same. To protect the family she entered the imperial palace. Now the fate repeats itself. What an irony.
Ye lan withdrew silently.
Hua xiwan looked at the chess board and her eyes became sharp. Before she had her daughter family was important. Now her daughter is more important than anything. She will ensure no harm comes to her darling.
