Bab 86: It's Good to Repent

Lin Ran had gone for a few hours.

The incense burner was lit with ambergris, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Lin Ran rubbed his nose and did not leave the girl here. Instead, he went to the imperial study.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew past her. The empress looked up and saw Lin Ran standing in the imperial study with a little girl in his arms.

The empress was stunned for a moment. Then she stood up and teased, "I have so many consorts in the palace. Why do you have to bring back a homeless child?"
