The eunuchs and guards responded, and their movements and voices were all slowed down.

The gate opened, revealing a glazed screen wall. After passing through two archways decorated with hanging flowers, one entered the main courtyard and the main hall.

The night-light pearl in the main courtyard is so dazzling that one can clearly see every flower and tree in the courtyard.

Different from the silence outside where everything is dormant, the entire Imperial Master's Mansion is full of vitality.

Chang Hai was horrified and became more in awe of the Imperial Master's ability. He ordered his men to stop outside the courtyard and brought the two young eunuchs into the main hall.

There is a plaque inscribed with "Chunhui Hall" on the main hall, and below it is a huge painting of mountains and rivers. Furniture, couplets, hanging screens, calligraphy and painting screens, etc. are all arranged symmetrically along the central axis of the hall, which is extremely solemn.

On the main seat, a young man in a black robe was holding a gilded glass hand warmer, dozing off with his forehead propped up lazily as if he had no bones. Under his calmness, he concealed a murderous intent that no one dared to underestimate.

The candlelight in the hall was bright, but the light was particularly mischievous, hiding half of his face in shadow and revealing the other half generously.

Chang Hai didn't dare to disturb him. He stood by with bated breath, waiting for the boy to wake up.

About a moment.

The young eunuch behind Chang Hai couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Eunuch Chang, why don't I go..."

Chang Hai turned his head and glanced at the young eunuch, frowning at him sternly, "Shut up."

The young eunuch didn't dare to say much, but his face showed an unhappy expression.

The candlelight flickered gently, and the black-robed young man sitting in the main seat fluttered his eyelashes.

Chang Hai, who had served the emperor for many years, was best at observing people's words and expressions. He noticed the movement in the main seat and quickly checked his demeanor again.

When Xie Rangchen opened his eyes, Chang Hai stepped forward.

"Your servant Chang Hai greets His Excellency the Imperial Master."

Xie Rangchen held the hand warmer in his pocket and motioned to Chang Hai, "Sit down."

"I came and went in a hurry, so I won't sit down." Chang Hai explained respectfully, "The emperor sent me to return the body of Miss Hongying and to explain the cause of Miss Hongying's death to the young master in detail. I wonder if you can let the young master come over?"

"Yu'er has gone to bed." Xie Rangchen refused bluntly.

Chang Hai bowed and said, "My servant is rude. Can the Imperial Master pass on the message for me?"

"Can."

Chang Hai told the whole story, handed over the red tassel coffin, and left the Imperial Master's Mansion.

After coming out of the Imperial Master's Mansion, the young eunuch following Chang Hai started to complain.

"Eunuch Chang, that young Imperial Master may not seem very capable, but he's quite arrogant. He asked you to wait, and even gave you a cold shoulder! He simply doesn't know how high the heavens are!"

Chang Hai was walking on the Imperial Street. He stopped and turned around to look at the young eunuch who was talking. "What's your name?"

The young eunuch thought that he had received a blessing from heaven and wanted to be appreciated by Eunuch Chang. If he could have a godson, he could walk sideways in the palace. He thought that he was more cunning than Chang Anke, so he would not steal Eunuch Chang's things. He wished that he could give everything to Eunuch Chang and rise to a higher position in the future! "Eunuch Chang, I am Xiao Caozi."

"Little Caozi."

"Hey! It's a slave!"

Chang Hai's eyes were filled with coldness. "Little Zhaozi, who cleans the toilet, is sick. Why don't you take his place for a few days?"

When Xiao Caozi heard this, he felt cold all over, "Eunuch——"

Before he could finish his words, another eunuch covered his mouth.

The next day, dawn broke and the golden crow rose.

Wushuang Garden.

After washing and dressing, Helian Yu rushed to the main courtyard with a gold, pearl and peony hairpin, calling Xie Rangchen to comb her hair.

There are three people in the huge Imperial Master's Mansion, and only Xie Rangchen knows how to style his hair in a fashionable bun.

Chang Zuo only knew how to tie his hair up simply, and he did so all year round.

When Helian Yu ran to the main courtyard, he saw a coffin parked outside the courtyard. He walked over curiously and knocked on the coffin. "It's good wood."

She didn't care and guessed that Xie Rangchen might have taken on a job of salvation. She clasped her hands together, bowed to the coffin, and ran to Xie Rangchen's bedroom.

Knock on the door.

“Master!”

Helian Yu pushed the door open upon hearing the voice, jumped in happily, sat down in front of Xie Rangchen, and handed him the hairpin, "Master, have you taken any private work?"

Xie Rangchen took the hairpin, held the wooden comb, and combed Helian Yu's thick black hair. "That's the remains of Miss Hongying's coffin."

Helian Yu uttered an "ah" and turned around in surprise, "Who sent it?"

"The emperor ordered Chang Hai to deliver it."

Xie Rangchen repeated Chang Hai's words again and told them to Helian Yu.

"Oh." Helian Yu's eyes rolled. "The dog emperor actually deliberately told me that the murderer was Concubine Shu. Is he planning something bad and wants me to teach Concubine Shu a lesson?"

"Master, the dog emperor is too mean, he wants to see dogs bite dogs!"

Xie Rangchen tapped the back of Helian Yu's head with a wooden comb: "You start talking nonsense so early in the morning, be careful or I will punish you by making you copy books."

Helian Yu snorted and looked up to find Xie Rangchen's eyes. "Master, why does the dog emperor want me to enter the palace and be a princess so much? He told me that Concubine Shu was the murderer, which was clearly to encourage me to enter the palace."

"I originally lived in the cold palace, and I had no feelings for him."

"We met a few times afterwards. Maybe he thought it was fun to tease me? It can't be because of this, right?"

Xie Rangchen combed her hair into a hanging bun and pinned it with a red and gold hairpin, "The world is bustling."

Helian Yu quickly replied, "Everyone comes for profit! The world is bustling with people all for profit!"

Xie Rangchen stood up to wash his hands, and Helian Yu followed him, pulling at the sleeve of his black robe.

"But he is the emperor, what can he get from me——"

Helian Yu suddenly fell silent.

She has a big plug-in system that allows her to write in a diary and accumulate points that can be exchanged for various things.

It is possible...

Seeing that Helian Yu's eyes were rolling, Xie Rangchen thought she might be thinking of some bad idea, so he walked around her, left the yard, and arranged for Hongying's coffin to be returned to her hometown for burial.

Helian Yu had a guess in his mind, so he trotted back to Wushuang Garden and took out the blue diary beside the bed.

Writing quickly.

[I heard that Helian Su loves to eat shit, he picks his own booger and eats it! Ugh, so disgusting!] [Scores for this diary: 24; Remaining points: 1342.]

'Bang'

In the Golden Palace, Helian Su fiercely threw down the memorial in his hand, "How outrageous!"

The Minister of Revenue knelt down tremblingly, not knowing what went wrong in the process of selecting concubines for the grand ceremony he had submitted a petition for.

Helian Su suppressed his anger and said, "Dismiss the court! Zheng Xuan and Lu Jing, follow me to the imperial study!"

Helian Su walked quickly, his steps filled with anger.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. The Minister of Revenue was in great pain and pulled Zheng Xuan back.

"Sir Zheng! You have to ask His Majesty what he is dissatisfied with! This is how it has been done in previous years!"

Zheng Xuan patted the Minister of Revenue, comforted him with a few words, and hurried to the imperial study.

Outside the heavy red walls, among the green willow trees.

Helian Yu came to the dining hall holding an envelope and slapped the envelope to his left hand.

"Brother Chang Zuo, after dinner, please secretly put the envelope in the home of the Jingzhao prefect."

Chang Zuo asked, "What's the use?"

"Ransom note." Helian Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled wickedly, "We kidnapped the daughter of Jingzhao Yin a few days ago, and it's time to calculate the interest."

Chang Zuo subconsciously looked at Xie Rangchen's reaction. He remembered that the young master disliked people who were scheming the most.

When he was not in the capital before, several families wanted to match their daughters with his son and tried every means to do so. As a result, his son became more and more disgusted with scheming people.
