"Chirp~" A weak chirp came from the side hall, and then the bird flew out of the window unsteadily and landed on Ye Jingtang's shoulder. It fell silent again.
With the bird on his shoulder, Ye Jingtang walked out. Just as he turned the corner of the corridor, he heard a voice coming from the side hall.
"Shui'er, did you sleep here with Ye Jingtang last night?"
"Uh-huh~"
?!
Ye Jingtang staggered. He didn't expect the empress dowager to ask this question, nor did he expect Daoist Xuanji to answer like that. But it wasn't appropriate for him to interrupt the private joke between the women. He pretended not to hear anything and quickly walked out of the Longevity Palace.
Yesterday, Dumdum also stayed in the palace. In the morning, she should be waiting for the empress to pack up. Then she would lead the imperial guards from Heavenly Street to Clear Water Villa.
