Meeting the emperor

after slowly receiving wang lei's comfort for a while li wei calmed down a little and was feeling a little embarrassed. after crying so much her eyes wear red her fan eyelashes dripping drop of tears and her cheeks were rosy she look s like someone bullied her so pitiful.

She slowly got out of wang lei's embrace and was embarrassed she timidly figured with her hands and looked at wang lei

"I-I am sorry , I dirtied your clothes." She looked very scared and timid like the wind would

Blow her away

" it is okay," wang lei couldn't help but reassure her because it looked like she was very scared, like

She had committed a death penalty. It looked like she was about to cry in any second. He slowly raised his hand and was about to pat her hair but hesitated, however after looking at her fragile appearance he slowly patted her head to calm her down.

Li wei took this opportunity to make both of them sit down and she leaned on his chest as he continued Pat her head .

Looking at her pitiful appearance wang lei didn't know what was with him today but he wanted to know what happened to her and why she

Was here at the lake. after battling himself if he should ask her or not, he finally made up his mind "

"Little sevant what are you doing here, what has made your heart hurt?"

" don't worry I won't report you for being here" he said

The pitiful girl whose head was buried in his chest slowly raised her big watery eyes, her hands clenching to the cloth in his chest for courage for what she was about to say.

" This m-maid entered the palace one month ago, this maid thought that her life would finally be better and could live happily with my elder sister who we had separated when we were very y-young, we had made a promise that we would live together all our life and I g-gave her my dead mother's only last belonging she left me for the promise.

W-When my sister got married I wanted to follow her and be her maid b-but who would have thought I would get very sick and almost died, so my sister left me without saying goodbye. I know she had no other choice who w-would want a maid who was on her death bed"

That was the last time I had seen my sister, and i never heard anything from Her again. i was very worried and her , so when I had my sister had entered the palace I-I wanted to fullil our promise together so I -I entered the palace and chose to be my s-sister's maid I recognized her right away,

sister is very beautiful Lu wei said as if admiring her sister and really loved her a lot. However her mood lowered again as she continued

But when sister saw me among other maids she didn't recognize me, I-It's okay since she was young when we made the promise b-but when I told her my n-name she still n-never knew who I was. A-And every one started being bad to me,

t-they all say I- I am disgusting a-and…" li wei trayed off seeming to have difficulty to say the next word

Wang lei continued to encourage by patting and hugging her soft body closer which gave her a little more confidence so she continued on telling her fake story

T- they said I-I only know how to seduce men and I am a prostitute. They kept on bullying me and giving so much much to do e-every day a-and today I- I asked why and I couldn't believe what they said

" they said my sister had expressed she disliked me when I entered the palace"

S-sister was very young I know There is no w-way she can remember me i-it was probably m-me who thought t-the promise was real.

I -I am just a mere maid i -I know my sister even forgot my name and face aready and won't recognize me even when she Mets me again for the third time. Li wei added this so that she can fill the gap in her story, she had never met li hua there is no way li hua knows her at all so when wang lei goes to ask li hua and she says she doesn't know her it wouldn't sound suspicious. She Continued

"Our promise w-was probably as fragile as dust that is blown by the wind."

-after finishing to portray li hua as a the type of person who does not fulfill her promise and abandons her sister when almost on her death bed, and bullying her sister. Li wei went in to answer why she was at the lake.

Li wei formed up a story on how she accidently found the lake when she was taking a walk to ease her mind. It sounded. very believable after the story she had just told.

When she was done It was very late at night li wei knew that this was enough for today, if she stayed longer she would look suspicious.

" t-this servant will return to her chamber"

"A-and thank you so much , you are the only person who has ever been nice to me apart from my sister ." Her lips rose up as she finished he sentence forming a dazzling smile.

"Good night"

"Good night" he replied

Wang lei as the emperor naturally knew all the uniforms in the palace and could tell the uniform li wei was wearing was from the empress's palace. When she said her sister married and then later entered the palace the only one who could marry and still enter the palace was the empress. It wasn't hard to figure it out. However he didn't believe the empress was that type of person who abandoned, bullies and even forgot their own sister.

He will ask her if she knows li wei tomorrow when he come to visit again.
