He didn't know what the relationship between the two was, so when the man approached, he was ready to send the secret guards to protect Jiang Rongxi.

If this man wanted to do something to her, he could still take action in time, which could be regarded as repaying him for saving his life.

But things were completely different from what he thought. Jiang Rongxi started chatting with the man and seemed quite happy.

Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, Jiang Rongxi followed the man.

He was afraid that Jiang Rongxi would suffer a loss, so he followed him again.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a yard. The man took out the key and opened the door, and the two of them walked in.

He was even more confused about what Jiang Rongxi was going to do, so he observed secretly in the dark.

As soon as Rong Xi came in, she looked around. The house did look nice. She had already decided that this would be her secret base before entering the palace. After all, in the Shangshu Mansion, she was hesitant to do anything.

She also has to be on guard against anyone plotting against her, and even the most basic things like eating and bathing cannot be done as she wishes.

She had already thought it through. After all, she was just an insignificant and invisible person in the Shangshu Mansion. Even if she was not there one day, no one would necessarily notice. They would all think that she was called away to do work.

Rong Xi was quite satisfied with this place. The house was nice and the rent was low. Rong Xi thought there was something fishy going on at first, but then he heard from the system that someone had died in this house.

Nowadays, every old house has had a death, so she was not worried or afraid at all.

"System, is the mission target still outside?"

System [Since you climbed over the wall, it has never left. ]

"Um!"

Rong Xi looked around. The house was rented, but cleaning such a large yard was a huge project.

I just ate too much and now I really don’t feel like moving at all.

He walked around the house, found a piece of rag, tore it into strips, tied it into a rope, and went out.

The emperor was becoming increasingly confused about her behavior, but also increasingly curious.

After following her, I found that she came to the same alley again. Just like before, she bent her waist and started meowing.

The kitten came out quickly, and the owner pounced on it and pinned it down while it wasn't paying attention.

"Don't move, or I'll punish you."

Seeing her pretending to be fierce, I actually felt that she was a little innocent and cute.

She returned to the house again, tied the kitten to a pillar, and covered it with the remaining rags.

The kitten was not used to being tied up like this and was struggling to get away.

Rong Xi could only comfort him softly, "Okay, sweetheart, this will be your home from now on. It's much better here than wandering around. Don't worry, I'll come to see you often. Anyway, if I have a chicken leg to eat, you'll have a bone to gnaw on."

…

Rong Xi got some water for the kitten, put some food in it and left.

I was out for a long time today. If I don’t go back, I’m afraid I’ll be discovered.

Then the emperor saw Jiang Rongxi climbing the wall with difficulty again. It was getting dark and he was afraid that she would miss a step and fall off the wall.

From the moment he started climbing, he was worried. He saw that every step she took was difficult. He wondered if her hand was scratched, but after she climbed up, her right hand was swinging so hard that it almost flew off.

Seeing that the person had already entered, the guard reminded again, "Grandpa, we should go back."

"Um!"

Rong Xi was quite satisfied with today. She knew that it was impossible for the emperor to like her right away. She had to make him curious about her first before he would pay more attention to her.

At night, Rong Xi used the system's soul-haunting power. He wanted to increase the strength of the emperor.

And how to increase this intensity?

The emperor woke up in a daze, and the first thing he saw was Jiang Rongxi climbing the wall.

But at this moment, he was not standing outside, but in the Shangshu Mansion, very close to her, so close that he could touch Jiang Rongxi with ease.

He felt strange. Didn't he just fall asleep in the bedroom? How did he appear here?

He called out tentatively, "Jiang Rongxi."

Jiang Rongxi seemed to be completely unaware of him and continued to crawl on his own with great difficulty.

But she climbed up quickly. Just like in the evening, her hand seemed to be injured again. She blew on herself and was about to go down.

At this time, he was already outside the wall. Seeing her about to come down, he called out again, "Jiang Rongxi, can't you see me?"

The girl seemed to have just noticed her and was so scared that she slipped and fell directly from above.

"Jiang Rongxi!"

The person hadn't reached the ground yet and he had no chance to pick him up. He woke up in a hurry with sweat all over his forehead.

He saw that he was still in the bedroom, which meant that he was actually dreaming just now, but he didn't understand why this dream was so real.

The chief eunuch heard the emperor's voice. Although he was too sleepy to open his eyes, he still trotted in to check.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Nothing."

Just as Eunuch Jinsu was about to leave, the emperor called him back again.

"Jinsu, go check on Jiang Rongxi, the daughter of the Minister of Works."

Jin Su did not follow the emperor out several times these times because he wanted to pretend that the emperor was still in the imperial study, so naturally he did not know about Jiang Rongxi's existence.

But he was really curious about what kind of woman this was who could win the favor of His Majesty. Even though it was the middle of the night, he still went out and arranged for people to investigate.

At least we must ensure that all the information about this woman is presented to His Majesty before he leaves court.

The emperor who had this dream now had Jiang Rongxi climbing the wall in his mind, and the last time he fell down. He suddenly felt a little worried. He thought he wouldn't really fall down. With such a high wall, he would definitely get hurt if he fell down.

Considering that she was his savior, he called the secret guards and sent a fairly capable one to guard Jiang Rongxi, at least to ensure his safety. This could be considered as a way to repay her for saving his life.

He hardly slept in the second half of the night, thinking about this and that, and finally stopped at the issue of offspring.

If he really has no chance to have children in this lifetime, then it is really time to choose an heir.

In the battle for the throne that year, there were only a few princes left. If he had not been weak and sickly since childhood and had not been plotted against by the former queen from an early age, he would not have survived until now.

The other two surviving princes were either born with disabilities or became monks.

The only true royal bloodline with offspring now is Prince Qing’s two sons.

He tossed and turned in bed, his mind constantly thinking about various problems. Before he knew it, a ray of light came through the window.

He rubbed his eyes. Although he felt tired on his face, he still got up, washed, dressed, and went to the court as usual.

Today, the weather is favorable, the seas are clear and the rivers are peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

However, the issue that all the civil and military officials in the court were most concerned about and discussed the most was the Emperor's offspring.
