When the numbers compared, everyone was stunned.
The atmosphere was deadlocked 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 never thought that General Ji, who fought on the battlefield so hard at a young age and killed so many 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 for her to say a few words.
But unexpectedly, she just glanced at the two of them and left without saying a word.
Everyone looked at Shen Ningyuan's departing back, stunned and speechless.
Especially Ji Yunchuan, who was speechless, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He let her run wild for a few days.
Ji Yunchuan restrained his expression and walked out of the room.
-
At this moment, in the imperial study.
Xie Lixuan had a gloomy expression on his 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.
"Has Ji Yunchuan not arrived yet?" Xie Lixuan asked.
As soon as Xie Lixuan finished speaking, Eunuch Zhuo, Xie Lixuan's personal eunuch, stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, they have already entered the palace and will probably be here soon."
Xie Lixuan's expression softened a bit. "Two hours have already passed. 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 quarrel suddenly broke out outside the imperial study.
"General Lin, His Majesty only said he wanted to see you, not the young lady. 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 twitched a few times, and he quickly stood up, hunched over, "Your Majesty, I will go and see what's going on."
After saying this, Eunuch Zhuo turned and walked out.
At this time, outside the door, Ji Yunchuan was arguing with the palace maids.
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 attendant 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 moment, Eunuch Zhuo walked down the steps and asked in a cold and leisurely voice, "General Ji, since His Majesty has ordered that you go in alone, why do you insist on bringing the young mistress in? Could it be that you intend to disobey the order?"
Although his tone was calm, it was firm and unquestionable.
Ji Yunchuan immediately calmed down, looked at Eunuch Zhuo embarrassedly, and tried to negotiate with him.
"Eunuch Zhuo, look... Ning Yuan is already here, we can't leave her waiting 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 rest in the side hall 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 became anxious in an instant, 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, do I have to 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 will not 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 walked into the imperial study with Eunuch Zhuo.
