This palace is from modern day 2

Chapter 65 The Assassination of Nangong Chen 5
Only at this time did I see the Empress Dowager, Yiyi, and Nangong Ye, as Xia Cao said, everyone is here.

My hair was still dripping with water, and I was running fast, and I was already dripping with sweat, so even I couldn't tell if the water that would fall was sweat, clear water, or a mixture of sweat.

The loose knot on the belt loosened at some point, and only then did I notice that my clothes were unusually roomy, and my feet... were still bare.

If there is a mirror, maybe I will know how embarrassed I am at this time.

As a result, no one in the room spoke for a long time to break the silence, they just stared at me, who appeared out of nowhere, without blinking.

The threshold on the feet seems to separate me from them into two worlds.

Grandma, parents, the mistress who replaced the main room...all these seem so accommodating, and my main room seems to be the extra person outside the bureau.
"Sorry, I went to the wrong hall." After a long time, I finally spoke calmly.

"Yanran." Yiyi looked at me with a guilty face, but I twitched the corners of my mouth and showed a self-deprecating smile, "Is the queen mother making fun of me?" Nangong Chen repaired the broken relationship, but now, I cannot accept such deception.
"Yan Ran." She stepped forward, but I backed away, "Will the queen mother be happier?" I stared at her, holding my eyelids tightly, not letting myself blink, fearing that if I blink, I will cry like a coward.

In front of so many people, still weeping in front of the proud mistress?I won't do this! !

I have nothing now, but I still have self-esteem.
"Yanran." Yiyi looked at me, "Chen'er is really hurt."

"That's none of my business." My voice was so soft that only she heard what I said.

Looking at the people in the room, I said apologetically, "Yanran, go clean yourself before coming here." After speaking, I turned and fled.
