"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Emperor will be here soon." Xiao Fuzi was sweating profusely with anxiety. Unfortunately, Miss Sun was out of clothes. If she still had her clothes, it would be fine. The Emperor was often suspicious and stubborn. If he said that Miss Sun's clothes had been stolen by thieves, he might not believe it. Especially now that he was thinking of taking a concubine, wouldn't he be even more suspicious if he saw Sun Yun wearing Prince Yong's outer robe?

This wicked villain is trying to plant a thorn in the Emperor's heart! This thorn could grow strong at any time and eventually take the lives of the Prince and the Crown Prince!

Emperor Mingde was getting closer and closer. He had already crossed the sky bridge and only a few more steps were needed to reach the gate. Xiao Fuzi was extremely anxious. It was all over. The Fourth Prince and the First Prince had disappointed the Emperor earlier, and now it was the Crown Prince and the Prince's turn.

However, just as Emperor Mingde crossed the bridge and arrived at the gate, reaching out to open the palace door himself, Zhao Shu finally caught up, panting heavily.

"Uncle Emperor." She tried to keep her voice calm, as bold yet polite as ever.

"Ah Jun, have you come to see Miss Sun?" Emperor Mingde stood and looked at Zhao Shu. "It's good that you've come. Go see her with your uncle."

Zhao Shu was unaware that Emperor Mingde intended to take Sun Yun as a concubine. Upon hearing this, she was quite puzzled and asked in confusion, "Has A-Yun performed any great service? How come A-Jun didn't know she had such great influence that even Your Majesty, the Emperor, had to condescend to visit her?"

Emperor Mingde loved listening to Zhao Shu speak. Whether it was flattery or casual conversation, one could always sense the respect she showed him. Others might say Zhao Shu was obsequious, but she never asked for any rewards. Instead, she constantly surprised him.

"Could it be that Ah Jun can foresee the future? How could he even know about this matter?" He was in a good mood at the moment and even had the mind to joke with Zhao Shu. Presumably, now that the flood control plan was finalized, he also wanted to relax his depressed mood.

As she spoke, Zhao Shu walked up to Emperor Mingde, curtsied, and said smugly, "No matter what merit A-Yun has made, I have to get half of it. But right now, I don't really want to know what merit she has made."

Emperor Mingde looked at her with great affection and asked with a smile, "Why?"

"Because when we arrived, Ah Jun suddenly remembered something that might be useful in the face of the flood."
