After two light rains, it was already late September.

According to the established plan, the autumn hunting was held as scheduled, and Xiao Ling arrived at the emperor's palace in Changlian Mountain two days in advance.

I remember when it rained in the autumn, I could steal a half day of leisure from my busy life.

As the imperial carriage landed at the temporary palace, the civil and military officials were preparing for the autumn hunt the next day, and Xiao Ling had a rare half day of leisure.

However, because she was tired from the journey, she soon wanted to rest in the palace.

In the bedroom, Xiao Ling looked at the face in the mirror, but suddenly found that something seemed wrong with her face.

She couldn't help but look at herself carefully again, and then she coughed slightly.

The deep male voice that should have been there was gone, and her original female voice, gentle and clear, returned to its original form.

Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment before realizing that the effect of the special medicine she had taken to disguise her appearance as a man seemed to have worn off.

It has to be said that the effect of this medicine is indeed good. The effect lasts for more than a month each time. Xiao Ling has kept it secret from the world for so many years, but there has not been a single accident.

Without much hesitation, she turned and looked at Yuzhu.

"Yuzhu, go get a plastic pill."

After hearing the order, Yuzhu couldn't help but look at the emperor in front of him, then nodded slightly and hurried out.

Xiao Ling looked at himself in the bronze mirror again for a long time, and finally felt a little emotional.

"If these court affairs had nothing to do with me, perhaps I would be very relaxed and at ease now."

Having appeared as a man for many years, the beautiful face in the mirror finally looked unfamiliar.

Xiao Ling thought so and sighed.

"It's just... in the end, I still need to find a solution, and I'm the only one who can stand up."

Looking at the sword in her hand that had been with her for a long time, her eyes suddenly became firm.

At this time, Yuzhu had not yet come with the reshaping pill, which seemed to give Xiaoling a moment to truly be on her own.

Xiao Ling felt unusually comfortable in his heart. After thinking for a while, he walked towards the palace bathhouse alone.

After all, it was a temporary palace, and she rarely used eunuchs, palace maids and other servants, so she didn't need to worry about her appearance being seen by outsiders.

Xiao Ling looked at the autumn scenery of the sycamore trees in the palace along the way and soon arrived at Ronghan Pond.

She was a little puzzled that there were no palace maids guarding outside Rong Hanchi, but she didn't care too much and walked in directly.

But soon, Xiao Ling's expression froze.

Because she let go of her sight, she discovered that there was someone else in the Ronghan Pool that was supposed to be hers.

The person in the pool was a man, with his back to him. At this moment, he was bathing leisurely with his upper body naked.

When Xiao Ling realized that she was caught bathing in hot spring water, her brain was suffocated.

But soon, she suddenly realized the most suffocating thing.

That is... Ronghan Pool is located in the palace, and it is high-end hot spring water exclusively for the emperor!

Just as Xiao Ling was about to lose her temper, the man in the pool seemed to notice someone behind him and subconsciously stood up from the water and turned around.

This turn was really shocking.

Clang——

The sword that Xiao Ling had been holding in his hand fell to the ground.

“You…you…”

Staring blankly at the man in front of her, Xiao Ling's mentality collapsed, followed by helplessness and an uncontrollable sense of tension.

Because only then did she see clearly that the person bathing in her bathtub was the bastard Chu Yi!

Chu Yi is a traitor, a villain, a scoundrel, a villain and a dog thief!

He deserves to die!

At this moment, Xiao Ling felt extremely regretful, because she rarely had the mood to do so. She had not expected that there would be outsiders in the hot spring palace, so she came here as a woman.

Chu Yi originally thought that the little emperor had caught him and was usurping the throne by running into the palace. When he turned around, he saw a very beautiful little beauty and was stunned for a moment.

Judging from her dress, she doesn't look like a palace maid.

Perhaps because he had been in officialdom for a long time, he frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here in the emperor's palace?"

Xiao Ling: “?”

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Shouldn't I be the one asking this question?

All I can say is that fortunately Xiao Ling was calm enough at this time. She knew that she came here as a woman and was not wearing a dragon robe, so Chu Yi did not recognize her.

But she noticed Chu Yi's gaze and tone at this time, and realized that her situation was very dangerous.

Even if Chu Yi couldn't recognize him, he would be very wary of his identity.

Xiao Ling hesitated for a long time, and finally caught a glimpse of the sword under his feet. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

She quickly bent down to pick up the sword, then took a step back and stared at Chu Yi coldly.

"You...are not the Dog Emperor? Where is that Dog Emperor?"

I have to admit that her performance was impulsive and she acted it out to look like the real thing.

Chu Yi looked at the sword in her hand, and saw the panic, confusion, and unwillingness on her face, and was puzzled.

What a coincidence! How could I encounter an assassin in this day and age?

Do you still think of yourself as the emperor bathing in the palace?

Well, that does sound like an assassin.

After realizing the identity of this woman, Chu Yi's tone relaxed.

Although I didn't fully trust the words of the woman in front of me, it didn't matter. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

He just needed a desperate man who was willing to exchange his life for another's.

In addition, Xiao Ling is extremely beautiful, so Chu Yi rarely has the mood to have fun.

"Oh, this is surprising to me. Someone in this Changlian Mountain Palace dares to harm the emperor. Who are you? Why don't you tell me?"

Seeing that Xiao Ling did not make any other moves, he put down his guard for the time being and walked to Rong Hanchi to put on his robe.

Xiao Ling also noticed that Chu Yi was shirtless, so he didn't answer, but asked:

"Who are you? This is clearly the place where the emperor bathes, so why are you here?"

It must be said that her question made Chu Yi more interested in this. Chu Yi happily looked at Xiao Ling from head to toe for a long time.

"Your Majesty has rewarded me with a bath in the Ronghan Pool, so naturally I can be here. You haven't told me who you are yet, and why you want to assassinate the emperor?"

Chu Yi was talking nonsense, and Xiao Ling felt like dying after hearing it.

If she hadn't been afraid of her identity as a woman being exposed, she would have really wanted to expose the lies of this shameless man on the spot.

Do you still want me to reward you with bathing in Ronghan Pool?

You are disrespectful to your superiors and act presumptuously and rudely. Chu Yi, can you please just say it straight?

You are the Minister of Personnel, do you still have any shame?

Forcing himself to suppress the depression in his heart, Xiao Ling pretended to put away the sword in his hand.

"I assassinated the emperor, so naturally I have a grudge against him. Why should I tell you?"
