Novel Full Chapter 323
Lin Feilu was indeed a little scared. She didn’t dare to sleep alone that night, so she ran to sleep with Xiao Lan.
Only to realise that Emperor Lin had decided to flip Xiao Lan’s plate(1) that night.
(T/N: It was explained before, but flipping the nameplate of a concubine means that the Emperor plans to sleep with that said concubine that night)
Lin Feilu, “…”
She was so pissed!!!
In the end, it was Songyu and Qingyan who accompanied her before Lin Feilu was able to fall asleep. Before going to bed, Songyu heard her Princess muttering something in a low voice, so she leaned over to try and listen. Although she had heard every word, she didn’t know what it meant.
Lin Feilu fell asleep with the core values of the Buddha scriptures embedded in her mind.
Maybe it was really effective as she didn’t dream of the dead person at all. Instead, she dreamt that she had transmigrated back again to her former world and was sent to the high school examination room, where she was taking a political exam.
Since so many years had passed, she had already forgotten what she had memorised before, so she couldn’t answer a single question on the paper. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Lin Feilu, who woke up the next day, hitting the bed with her fist. This is more terrifying than a nightmare, isn’t it?
Half a month later, it was discovered that the Song Empire’s captive Prince had escaped.
Based on the length of time that it took for his disappearance to be known, it could be seen that Song Jinglan really had no sense of existence in the Great Lin Empire’s Palace. That was mainly because he often closed his door and stayed in that small courtyard for a long time in the past. He had no friends in the palace, so no one truly cared whether he was well or not either.
There were still servants who delivered meals to the Cold Palace three times a day, but the Cuizhu Villa turned out to be the place that was truly forgotten and neglected.
The escape was only noticed, when people discovered that the building was empty because a Concubine’s cat ran in. The little eunuch had to knock on the door to ask for the cat, but no one answered the door despite knocking for a long time. He thought it was a deliberate trick done by the people living inside, so he brought in some palace servants to break down the door. Upon entering, he found that there was no one inside, and the room had already started accumulating a layer of dust and ash.
The little eunuch reported the matter to the Concubine, and when the Concubine greeted the Empress, she relayed the news. From then on, the Empress reported the matter to Emperor Lin.
Perhaps no one would have found out that the Song Empire’s captive Prince had escaped if it weren’t for this incident.
Emperor Lin was furious when he learned of this as he immediately sent an order to hunt down the Prince by organising a search throughout the whole country. He didn’t care about this royal prisoner, but he cared about his Imperial power. It was already presumptuous for the Prince of the Song Empire to dare to sneak away, but he actually even succeeded in sneaking away! It was simply contempt towards the Imperial power of the Great Lin Empire as it showed that they were not taking the Emperor seriously!
But after half a month of time between them, along with Song Jinglan’s meticulous arrangements and outstanding feats of work, perhaps the Prince was already in the Song Empire at this time.
