The old eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground to stop him.
"Your Majesty, this was probably requested by the Ninth Prince himself. Please take another look at this memorial."
"What the hell are you looking at!" The Emperor Emeritus kicked him away. "I knew he wouldn't tolerate Xiao Jiu. I didn't expect him to dare to do this while I'm still alive."
Zhong Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Is this Jiang Qingwan the Lady Jiang who lives in the backyard of the Ninth Prince's mansion?"
He asked in a low voice, more like talking to himself.
The retired emperor was stunned on the spot. After a moment, he grabbed the memorial and read it carefully again. Then he lay down on the soft couch, clutching his chest and looking like he was about to roll his eyes back.
Zhong Yuan and the old eunuch rushed over, one giving him acupuncture and the other helping him breathe. It took a long time for the Emperor Emeritus to recover, and he stared at the roof beam for a long time.
Suddenly, he said in a cold voice, "Akamori!"
A dark figure descended and knelt not far away, his face adorned with a ferocious and terrifying crimson-gold mask.

The old eunuch also quickly knelt down.
"We should summon the Emperor and the Ninth Prince to clarify this matter, lest it damage the relationship between you and your son."
The retired emperor took a few quick, deep breaths and gestured for Akamori to step back.
"Zhong Yuan, what do you mean by saying that this Jiang family member possesses extraordinary abilities?"
Zhong Yuan hurriedly told him about Jiang Qingwan's exorcising evil spirits for He Nian's son.
After hearing his story, the Emperor Emeritus's expression turned somewhat strange.
The old eunuch's mind stirred slightly. "Your Majesty, why don't we summon him to the palace so you can take a look?"
Just as the Emperor Emeritus was about to nod, he suddenly said, "No, Zhong Yuan, find an opportunity for you to arrange for me to go see her."
