The empress, who was already furious, almost laughed out of anger.

Good, she's recruited a staff member who's good at eroticism. Even the royal family can't afford to lose face like this!

The fist hardened again...

With great difficulty, she calmed her turbulent emotions and asked softly, "You want the Azure Phoenix Guard?"

Qin Zhaoyue's eyes widened upon hearing this: No way, this can really be discussed?

"Um...Mother Queen, are you really willing to give it?"

"Wasn't it you who made the request?"

"Yes, it was me who suggested it!" Regardless of whether it was true or not, just in case, Qin Zhaoyue answered decisively.

"I am familiar with you, so I will reward you with this ink."

The Broken Ink, silently guarding the corner: !

How could that be? She's a commander of the Azure Phoenix Guard! How could she be given as a personal bodyguard to a princess, especially the Sixth Princess!

Qin Zhaoyue was overwhelmed with immense joy.

Although Duo Suimo had previously shown a lot of disdain, those were the Azure Phoenix Guards, who had earned a codename, so their strength must be extremely formidable.

But amidst the surprise, there was more doubt.

[Seriously? My mom's so good to a good-for-nothing like me? Is she just trying to scam me out of money again?]

"Mother Queen, you can't go back on your word now that you've given me the person. You have to keep your word this time."

At this point, Qin Minghuang's chest heaved even more.

"How dare you say that you were the one snoring in the court? You've completely disgraced me!"

Qin Zhaoyue muttered under her breath, "Who told me to get up before dawn..."

"What did you say!"

“I didn’t say anything, Mother Empress did a good job punishing us,” he said, his cowardice was so straightforward, “but this time the Azure Phoenix Guard…”

The Empress rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "Your suggestion to raise funds for disaster relief was commendable and solved the immediate crisis. Consider this a reward for you."

"Hehehe," Qin Zhaoyue laughed so hard her eyes disappeared, "Thank you, Mother Empress!"

"Alright, you may leave. Stay in the palace tonight, lest you fall asleep during court tomorrow."

Another court session?

"Mother Queen, I don't think this is necessary..."

A cold gaze swept over them, then the tone shifted abruptly.

"Alright! I'll take my leave now. I definitely won't fall asleep at the morning court tomorrow."

After she left, Qin Minghuang took a while to recover before calling Suimo into the Imperial Study.

"Take a group of people and stay with Xiao Liu to protect her."

A set? The fragments of ink were beyond words to express the shock they felt at that moment.

It was already outrageous that she, a centurion, was bestowed upon a princess; no princess or prince in the entire court had ever received such treatment.

That's bad enough, but there are a total of twelve people in one group!

Sui Mo immediately realized that things were probably not that simple.

However, since His Majesty did not say it explicitly, she could not ask. She would find out when the time was right.

He immediately bowed and replied, "Yes!"
