If Ye Lanyin hadn't disguised herself on the way here, she certainly wouldn't have been able to return so smoothly.
They saved her life, how could she repay kindness with enmity?
Emperor Xuan Yue waved his hand, "Get up."
"If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have known about such sordid things in the harem, let alone that I had a wolf in my back."
"Eunuch Li, go and stop General Zhao."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Li turned his head and whispered something to the eunuch behind him, who then hurriedly ran outside.
"It was so dangerous just now, weren't you afraid?"
Princess Minghui shook her head. "I'm not afraid."
Emperor Xuan Yue nodded with satisfaction, never expecting that it would be this daughter who would protect him at the crucial moment.
"What was your mother's name again?"
"Your Majesty, my mother is Consort Xu."
"Consort Xu?" Xian Yuemo tried hard to recall, but too much time had passed and he couldn't remember the person.
“Your Majesty,” Eunuch Li bowed as he approached Emperor Xuan Yue, “it is Consort Xu, whom you banished to the Cold Palace a year ago.”
Princess Minghui suddenly looked up.
Has the Empress Dowager been imprisoned in the Cold Palace?
What happened?
Only after being reminded by Eunuch Li did Emperor Xuan Yue vaguely recall that a year ago, a concubine had been disrespectful to the Empress and was banished to the Cold Palace.
It turns out she is Minghui's daughter.
"What are you all standing there for? Release them!!"
What a clueless eunuch! At this crucial moment, are you still waiting for me to speak?
"Yes, yes, yes." Eunuch Li felt a little uncomfortable under Emperor Xuan Yue's glare. He bowed and scraped several times before taking small steps toward the door.
"Guards! Quickly release Consort Xu!"
Finally, Emperor Xuan Yue looked at Xiao Wanwan, who had an innocent yet gossipy expression.
He got up from the chair and walked over to her.
"Little girl, what's your name?"
"Wanwan, Xiao Wanwan."
"Hmm, you are an honest child. If you hadn't been honest today, my kingdom might have been taken away by someone else."
"Tell me what you want, and I will grant it to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanwan's small face blossomed into a smile, "Then, is the food in your imperial kitchen delicious?"
"The Imperial Kitchen?" Emperor Xuan Yue asked in confusion.
“Father, it’s the food served in the Imperial Kitchen. The Imperial Kitchen is where His Majesty of the Holy Kingdom eats,” Princess Minghui explained.
"Haha, I see."
After laughing three times, Emperor Xuan Yue said to the palace maids beside him, "Go to the kitchen and tell the chefs to prepare the best food. I want to entertain distinguished guests!"
The palace maids all answered in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, news of what happened in the harem spread throughout the entire Xuan Yue Kingdom, and even reached the four surrounding kingdoms.
For a long time, Emperor Xuan Yue was secretly ridiculed by the emperors of various countries, becoming a big joke for them to talk about over tea.
That night, Emperor Xuanyue hid on his dragon bed and wept uncontrollably until the next morning when he was called to court by the eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are all waiting for you."
Emperor Xuanyue stared at his swollen eyes, rubbed them, and looked at Eunuch Li.
"Fool! I'm exhausted, and you still want me to attend court?"
Eunuch Li was kneeling on the ground, almost crying. The court officials were about to start a commotion. If His Majesty didn't go to court, those old ministers might eat him alive.
"Your Majesty, I have already spoken to the ministers, but they say they have important matters to report today and need you to attend to them for a while."
"In a while?" He sat up on the edge of the bed, propping himself up with his hands, and looked at Eunuch Li with displeasure.
"Is there anything more important than my own affairs?"
When Emperor Xuan Yue said this, Eunuch Li understood what he meant.
Isn't it just about being cheated on yesterday?
But today, this matter is very serious.
"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what the ministers have to say?"
He wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing his appearance, Emperor Xuan Yue scolded him in an annoyed manner.
"You good-for-nothing, why are you acting like a nagging old woman?"
Eunuch Li: Your Majesty, I am a eunuch.
"Your Majesty, you'd better go and take a look quickly, or it will be too late."
Emperor Xuan Yue then raised his leg in displeasure.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Li was overjoyed.
He immediately knelt down and crawled over to respectfully put on Emperor Xuan Yue's shoes.
About half an hour later, Emperor Xuan Yue finally went to the Imperial Court.
At this moment, the Imperial Court was filled with noise, which Emperor Xuan Yue could hear from afar.
He frowned and pointed at the Imperial Court Hall, saying unhappily, "Eunuch Li, listen to these old scoundrels! They're making such a ruckus during court time!"
Eunuch Li said with a fawning smile, "Your Majesty, let me help you walk."
"Waaaaah, Your Majesty, when will you come? My son has run away with my wife..."
"Waaaaah, your humble servant is getting a divorce..."
"My wife ran away with someone, sob sob sob..."
"Your Majesty, where are you...?"
"Your Majesty..."
As Emperor Xuan Yue got closer to the Imperial Court, he felt increasingly uneasy.
He stopped and turned to look at Eunuch Li. "What's going on inside?"
"Why do I hear what sounds like weeping coming from inside the palace?"
Having been accustomed to the mundane details of daily life and served His Majesty for so many years, how could Eunuch Li not understand?
"Your Majesty, this servant did not hear you."
"No?" Emperor Xuan Yue pricked up his ears, wanting to listen further into the palace. "I think I heard something."
"Your Majesty, you need to come closer so that I can hear you."
Emperor Xuan Yue glared at him irritably. "Alright, alright, let's go."
