Chapter 71: Palace Schemes (7)

The emperor already announced the day of the Winter Banquet. On the day of the banquet, Gao Wei, especially, called Chen Xue'er out of her room to tell her to dress up as if she was recovering from a sickness.

"But... why would I dress up like that, Gao Wei?" 

"I've instructed every single servant on the manor to say that you returned weeks before, but that you were bedridden with a strange sickness." 

Chen Xue'er looked confused while shooking her head.

"Still not understanding..."

"Xue'er, it's to hide about your nightmare..." Gao Wei was not sure how safe it was to mention to Chen Xue'er about the murder. In the last month, she has started to become the girl he knew before, but it was because he and Cao Shu Yu tried to never mention that incident in front of her. Another thing that had helped had been that Li Dong Hai has spent more time with her. 

"Oh... it's to confuse people. Okay! Does Dong Hai know about it?" 

"Yes."
