NOVPUBShen Roujia looked at Gu Zhi with concern. “You really don’t need to worry about me. You have so much on your plate and so much pressure.”
Hearing Shen Roujia’s words, Gu Zhi felt a pang of discomfort in her heart. “Jiaojiao, when did you start becoming so distant from me?”
For the first time, Gu Zhi seemed genuinely upset. She left Shen Roujia standing alone, clearly frustrated. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Shen Roujia watched as Gu Zhi disappeared into the bustling street, her heart filled with mixed emotions that she couldn’t quite put into words.
Reflecting on everything that had happened, Shen Roujia felt overwhelmed, as if she couldn’t keep up with the events unfolding around her. She turned and walked away, feeling a weariness she hadn’t felt in a long time. This realization only deepened her sense of fatigue.
“Sigh...”
Shen Roujia didn’t really know how to handle the situation. Part of her wanted to confess everything right then and there.
But who could she possibly confess to?
In reality, aside from herself, who else would care about who she truly was? And who exactly was she?
With a bitter smile, Shen Roujia turned back and returned to the palace.
Xiao Fu, who was aware of Shen Roujia’s situation, had helped her once before when she disguised herself as Jiao Niang to stand up for Gu Zhi.
When word reached the palace, Xiao Fu hurried to Shen Roujia, desperate to find a solution.
“Your Highness, why are there rumors outside that His Majesty has invited a famous qin master from the capital to perform at his birthday banquet, and the performer’s name is Jiao Niang?”
Shen Roujia chuckled self-deprecatingly. “So, the rumors have reached the inner palace as well.”
Xiao Fu, still worried, asked, “What should we do now? You’re supposed to attend the banquet that day too.”
