Chapter 247: The Power of the Emperor

When the numbers compared, everyone was stunned.

The atmosphere was tense for a while before Ji Yunchuan was the first to react.

Then, he forced himself to stand up straight and gave a polite yet stiff smile to the eunuchs in the palace.

The eunuch also reacted and gave Ji Yunchuan an awkward smile.

He said half-truthfully, "I didn't expect that General Ji, who fought in the battlefield at a young age and killed countless enemies, would still be henpecked."

Ji Yunchuan also smiled and said, "It's okay. My wife is very strict at home. So what if I'm henpecked?"

As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan looked at Shen Ningyuan, as if hinting at her to say something.

But unexpectedly, she just glanced at the two of them and left without saying a word.

Everyone looked at Shen Ningyuan's leaving back, and they were all stunned and speechless.

Especially Ji Yunchuan, who was speechless but with a murderous intent in his eyes.

He let her run wild for a few days.

Ji Yunchuan restrained his expression and followed him out of the room.

-

At this moment, in the imperial study.

Xie Lixuan had a gloomy face as he waited for Ji Yunchuan to appear.

But after waiting for a long time, Ji Yunchuan still didn't show up, and Xie Lixuan became a little impatient.

"Is Ji Yunchuan not here yet?" Xie Lixuan asked.

After he finished speaking, Xie Lixuan's personal eunuch Zhuo Gonggong stepped forward and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, they have entered the palace and will probably be here soon."

Xie Lixuan's expression eased a little. "It's been two hours. How come we've only just arrived at the palace gate? What on earth is Ji Yunchuan doing?"

Eunuch Zhuo immediately said, "Your Majesty, I guess he was delayed on the way here."

Xie Lixuan didn't say anything, but the displeasure on his face was even more obvious than before.

After a while, a dispute suddenly broke out outside the imperial study.

"General Lin, His Majesty only said he wanted to see you, and didn't say he wanted to see the young lady, so you should go in alone!"

Xie Lixuan's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who dares to make a noise outside the imperial study?"

Eunuch Zhuo's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he quickly stood up, "Your Majesty, I will go and see what's going on."

After saying this, Eunuch Zhuo turned around and walked out.

At this time, outside the door, Ji Yunchuan was arguing with the palace servants.

Ji Yunchuan shouted, "She is my wife, the daughter of General Shen. Come with me to see His Majesty. Is there any problem?"

Hearing this, the palace servant said with an embarrassed look on his face: "General Ji, please don't embarrass us. His Majesty has ordered that as long as you go in alone, we dare not let the young lady in at will!"

Ji Yunchuan's face darkened, "I don't care, just let us in first!"

If Shen Ningyuan hadn't gone in with him, would he have been able to come out alive today?

Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan made up his mind and was about to rush inside, but was stopped by two palace servants.

At this time, Eunuch Zhuo walked down the steps and asked in a cold voice, "General Ji, since His Majesty has ordered that you go in alone, why do you have to bring the young lady in? Could it be that you want to disobey the order?"

Although his tone was calm, it was firm and tolerant of rebuttal.

Ji Yunchuan immediately calmed down, looked at Eunuch Zhuo awkwardly, and tried to negotiate with him.

"Eunuch Zhuo, look... Ning Yuan is already here, we can't let her wait outside, right? Why not let her--"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Eunuch Zhuo.

"If General Ji is only worried about this, we can arrange for the young lady to go to the side hall to rest for a while, and then leave with you after General Ji comes out."

"W-what?" Ji Yunchuan was stunned.

Eunuch Zhuo snorted coldly, "Why, General Ji doesn't agree?"

His tone was cold and he was obviously angry.

Seeing this, Ji Yunchuan did not dare to insist any longer and had to agree to Eunuch Zhuo's arrangement.

Turning to look at Shen Ningyuan, "In that case, I'll have to ask Ning Yuan to wait for me in the side hall."

While speaking, Ji Yunchuan looked at Shen Ningyuan and blinked, as if hinting that she should speak to Zhuo Gong and take the initiative to enter the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ningyuan pretended not to see it, responded with a "OK", and went straight to the side hall.

Seeing this, Ji Yunchuan instantly became anxious and stepped forward to grab Shen Ningyuan's wrist.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Chen Ningyuan, are you just leaving like this?"

Ji Yunchuan continued to hint at Shen Ningyuan with his eyes, but the latter pretended not to see it and looked at Ji Yunchuan in surprise, “My husband, His Majesty let you go in alone, should I force my way in?”

"you……"

Ji Yunchuan was extremely angry and lowered his voice and said, "Chen Ningyuan, have you forgotten why you accompanied me to the palace?"

Shen Ningyuan forced a smile and said slowly: "Don't worry, even if I stay in the side hall, His Majesty won't make things too difficult for you."

"What do you mean?" Ji Yunchuan was surprised.

"You'll find out when you go in."

After Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, she pushed Ji Yunchuan's hand away and signaled with her eyes that he should go in by himself.

Ji Yunchuan's face was a little stiff, but he didn't dare to say anything more in front of Eunuch Zhuo.

He had no choice but to go in and walk into the imperial study with Eunuch Zhuo.
