He reached out and gently caressed behind me.
I couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.
Jing Xun's ears turned slightly red. "Sister, you are so beautiful."
I blushed and replied, "Don't say that..."
Jing Xun touched my cheek. "Sister, why is your face so red?"
I turned my face away from him. "I'm not..."
Jing Xun softly kissed my lips. "Sister, do you love me?"
His sudden question startled me. "I..."
Seeing my dazed expression, Jing Xun chuckled softly. "Sister, you are still the same as before."
I feigned calmness and said, "Xiao Jiu, you promised me you would help me find our parents."
"Do you think they might already be dead...?"
Jing Xun patted my head reassuringly. "No, they won't be."
"I have already sent someone to Lingzhou to inquire about them."
"We will receive news in a few days."
I let out a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"By the way, why did you suddenly come back?"
Jing Xun chuckled softly. "Sister, did you forget what day it is today?"
I was taken aback by his question. "What day?"
Jing Xun patted my head. "Today is February Second."
I paused for a moment before realizing what day it was.
Today is my birthday!
In previous years, he had always celebrated my birthday with me.
But this year, he wasn't here.
Looking at his gentle expression, my eyes couldn't help but well up with tears. "You still remember my birthday..."
Jing Xun patted my head again. "Sister, I will always remember your birthday."
"Today is your birthday; how could I not come back to celebrate with you?"
The Empress noticed something unusual in the Emperor's palace and sent someone to investigate, only to find that the Emperor's recent records of bedchamber attendance were completely blank.
She sent someone to inquire with the eunuchs and female officials outside Jing Yi Hall, but received no useful information.
The Empress, unwilling to give up, bribed a young eunuch serving inside Jing Yi Hall in an attempt to learn the Emperor's whereabouts.
The young eunuch revealed that a mysterious woman had recently appeared in the Emperor's sleeping quarters, and that the Emperor had been treating Miao Dongxu exceptionally well, which was unprecedented.
The Empress suspected that there was something amiss and decided to investigate personally.
She brought along her personal maid and the Raccoon Slave she had raised for many years to Jing Yi Hall.
At that moment, I was watering flowers in the Ear Room of the side hall.
Upon hearing the Empress's voice outside, I immediately hid behind the curtain.
After the Empress entered the side hall, the Raccoon Slave in her arms suddenly became restless and began to cry out.
Realizing there was someone present, the Empress signaled her maid to search the area.
After searching the side hall, the maid found no one.
Suddenly, the Raccoon Slave in the Empress's arms lunged wildly towards me behind the curtain.
I was knocked to the ground by it and tried to escape, but it grabbed my shoulder.
Seeing this, the Empress immediately ordered her maid to assist.
I was well aware that if the Empress caught me, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, I deliberately pretended to be frightened and knelt before her.
I removed the veil from my face, revealing an unremarkable visage.
Feigning an inability to speak, I knelt on the ground and repeatedly bowed my head.
The Empress regarded my demeanor with a look of suspicion.
She turned to Miao Dongxu and asked, "Miao Gonggong, who is this?"
Miao Dongxu quickly knelt and replied, "Your Majesty, this is a younger sister brought by a relative of mine."
"She has come to the capital seeking refuge with me and has nowhere else to go, so I have kept her by my side to serve."
The Empress scrutinized me with doubt in her eyes. "Lift your head so I can have a look at you."
I raised my head to meet the Empress's gaze.
As she examined my face, a look of confusion crossed her features.
