Chapter 343 I am the Master of the Palace

The inspection at the city gate is strict.

Yuzhu and others heard it from the lady who went out to buy things in the charity hall.

Since leaving Shengjing, they have not heard a single word about the struggle among the upper class.

Therefore, I didn’t know that the world had changed. I only knew that there were strict checks on entering and leaving the city recently.

But their carriage reached the city gate.

The soldier guarding the gate saluted Li Yuan respectfully, then removed the barriers without saying a word and let them pass.

Li Yuan held the reins and sat upright on his horse, without even showing his token.

Yuzhu swallowed.

Is her master already so powerful?

The deputy generals under his command could enter or leave the city gate with a carriage without being checked.

Yuzhu couldn't help but feel proud, but at the same time she couldn't help but worry about Xiao Ning.

Even if the Marquis has achieved merit in suppressing the rebellion, but he acts so ostentatiously, won't he anger the Emperor?

After entering the city, when the carriages were driving on the streets, the patrolling soldiers would stop and salute Li Yuan when they saw him. Even the leading generals would dismount, bow to Li Yuan, and respectfully call him General Li.

Li Yuan just sat on his horse and nodded slightly at them.

Yuzhu became more and more anxious.

Has her master's actions become so blatant?

Could it be that he is using the emperor to control the princes?

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why our Lord could be so crazy.

This man was just a deputy general under her, but when he walked on the street, even the generals of the city defense army had to dismount and salute him.

Yuzhu was very uneasy and could only urge the driver to go faster.

She had to see the Marquis as soon as possible to feel at ease.

Finally, the carriage arrived at Taikangfang.

But he didn't turn in, but continued going straight.

Yuzhu opened the curtain and said to Li Yuan, "Where are you taking us? The palace gate is just ahead!"

Li Yuan pulled the reins, smiling without saying a word.

Yuzhu: "...Say something!"

Li Yuan said: "Miss, please be patient, you will see the general soon."

Yuzhu had to suppress her emotions.

Until the carriage stopped at the palace gate.

The soldier guarding the palace gate still politely bowed to Li Yuan.

Now Yuzhu really couldn't remain calm at all.

With trembling hands, she grabbed the corner of Li Yuan's sleeve and said, "General Li, General Li, why do the palace guards have to salute you too..."

"Also, why are we coming to the palace? The Marquis can't be in the palace, right?"

Li Yuan looked at the girl's panicked eyes, then lowered his eyes to look at the pink and white fingers that were grabbing his sleeves, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

I couldn't help but want to tease her.

"We have returned victorious. Shouldn't the palace guards greet us with a salute?"

Yuzhu: “…”

"The general is currently on the rise. Even if he were to sit on the throne, no one would dare to say anything."

Yuzhu: “!!!”

Yuzhu's legs went weak, as if she could see the scene in the future where Xiao Ning's achievements would overwhelm the emperor, and the emperor would kill all the birds and hide his good bow...

She held on to Li Yuan's arm tightly to prevent herself from falling to the ground.

The other people around Yuzhu also looked incredulous and panicked.

Their Lord has never been so crazy before...

He's just a cockfighting, running errand boy and a man of high social status. He still knows his limits.

How come after fighting for a few years, he came back like this? Even the emperor doesn't care about him...

Li Yuan's eyes fell on the white little hand that was tightly holding his arm, and he whispered, "Miss, please come into the palace quickly. The general is waiting for you there."

Yuzhu was in a mess and didn't notice that she was still holding Li Yuan's arm. She just nodded in panic and let him lead her forward.

Along the way, Yuzhu and others were in a state of panic.

Only the corners of Li Yuan's mouth remained unchanged.

It wasn't until he arrived at the Qinzheng Hall that he saw Xiao Ning standing side by side with Shang Xi.

"My Lord!"

When Yuzhu saw Xiao Ning, she loosened her grip on Li Yuan's arm and pounced towards him like a bird returning to the forest.

Xiao Ning smiled, took a few steps forward, opened her arms, let Yuzhu fall into her arms, and hugged her tightly.

"My Lord, why did you come back just now? Wuwuwu, I was so worried about you..."

Yuzhu hugged Xiao Ning and cried.

Chunsheng and others also surrounded Xiao Ning.

Everyone cried together.

Xiao Ning patted Yuzhu on the back and comforted Chunsheng and others.

Shang Xi looked at Xiao Ning who was surrounded by the crowd, and jealousy surged in his heart. He knew that this was wrong, but he couldn't control himself.

Shang Xi pinched his palms to restrain himself.

Li Yuan glanced at Shang Xi and frowned slightly.

He didn't understand why this prince was so jealous of anything.

I feel like his feelings towards the General are quite morbid.

Fortunately, he is a general. If it were anyone else, no one would be able to accept this prince.

Yuzhu cried for a while, then let go of Xiao Ning. Looking at her in women's clothing, she asked in confusion, "My Lord, why are you wearing women's clothes? I hope His Majesty doesn't blame you..."

Xiao Ning: “…”

She glanced at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan smiled at her.

Then Xiao Ning dropped a bombshell on Yuzhu and others.

"From now on, I will be the master of this palace."

Yuzhu: "...w-what do you mean you are the master of the palace? My Lord, you... no, you won't rebel, will you?"

Xiao Ning smiled and touched her head, "Yes, I rebelled."

Yuzhu and others were shocked.

After a while, Yuzhu came back to her senses. She glanced at Shang Xi and quickly recognized him as the former princess.

So, the Marquis rebelled in order to help His Highness become the emperor?

But in this case, wouldn't the marquis, who is used to freedom and likes male homosexuality, have to stay in the palace and be the queen?

Then how can she go out to play...

Not to mention going upstairs to play games with handsome guys.

Yuzhu couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for her own master.

Xiao Ning saw through Yuzhu's thoughts at a glance. She shook her wide sleeves and said to Yuzhu, "Don't look around. The one who will be the emperor is your master."

Yuzhu widened her eyes and looked at Xiao Ning in disbelief.

Seeing Xiao Ning's serious face, not looking like he was lying to her, Yuzhu excitedly clenched her fists and said, "Then, then wouldn't this mean I'll be promoted to the Emperor's maidservant in the future?"

Xiao Ning smiled and pinched her face.

"What do you mean by a maid? Your master is the emperor, so why can't he make you a female official?"

Yuzhu: "Ahhh, Your Majesty, I love you so much!"

Chunsheng and several servants looked at each other in confusion. The Marquis had become the emperor, but what about them?

You won't let them become eunuchs...

Chunsheng and others had followed Xiao Ning for many years and had a vague idea of ​​her gender, so they were not too surprised to see Xiao Ning wearing women's clothing.

Xiao Ning saw through Chunsheng and the others' thoughts and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry."

Chunsheng and the others blushed, feeling embarrassed after their thoughts were seen through.

After Yuzhu was happy, she knelt down with Chunsheng and others and bowed deeply to Xiao Ning.

"This humble servant pays respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

Xiao Ning gestured for them to stand up, "From now on, just greet them, don't shout 'Long live'."

Yuzhu and others didn't understand, but they obeyed the order.
