Tao Yuwei entered the palace before dark. Upon hearing the report, Emperor Jianchang sighed with amusement, "Anle, this girl, really treats my palace as her home. Please invite her in quickly."
He didn't plan to spend half the night reviewing memorials tonight.
The little girl came here at this time, maybe she had something to ask for.
Seeing Tao Yuwei walk in with a strange thing in her hand, Emperor Jianchang smiled before he said anything.
"Uncle Emperor, you usually sit on the dragon throne for a long time reviewing memorials. To make you feel more comfortable, I had someone make you a lumbar cushion. Please use it."
Tao Yuwei handed the black thing in her hand to Eunuch Zhao.
Before entering the palace, she racked her brains and came up with this reason.
Emperor Jianchang suffers from back pain, so a lumbar cushion would be appropriate.
She quickly called the sewing room in the mansion, and in less than an hour, they worked together to make a back cushion according to her requirements to prevent back pain.
Eunuch Zhao held it in his hand and looked at it curiously.
"Anle is thoughtful, how should this thing be used?"
Emperor Jianchang treated her like he was coaxing a child, and his attitude was always indulgent.
"Uncle Emperor, please stand up from the dragon throne first. Eunuch Zhao, please place the back cushion on the dragon throne."
Tao Yuwei told Zhao Chong how to put it in place. After putting it in place, she said happily, "Uncle Emperor, please try it. With this thing, your waist won't hurt even if you sit for a long time."
Emperor Jianchang sat down cooperatively and felt much more comfortable than before.
"Yes, with this, I won't have to ask the imperial physician to give me acupuncture so often in the future."
"I appreciate your kindness, little girl. If you want any reward, just tell me."
The problem of back pain troubled Emperor Jianchang for many years. As an emperor, he was diligent and responsible for the country and the people, and did not dare to slack off.
Sitting on the dragon throne for many years to handle official business caused problems in the waist.
Sometimes the pain was so severe that he couldn't even walk, let alone sit.
He often summoned the imperial physician to perform acupuncture. Although Anle was a little domineering at times, she was genuinely kind to him.
This thing is actually not worth much, but it is her thoughtfulness. It is not enough to give expensive gifts, but to give him what he needs. It is not in vain that she pampers the girl.
Seeing Emperor Jianchang's reaction, Tao Yuwei knew that her entry into the palace this time did not surprise him.
That thing is in the hands of the Seventh Princess Xiao Zixuan. She will definitely find a way to see His Majesty, so she must get the thing before that.
It was already dark outside, and Xiao Zixuan would have to wait until dawn to take action at the earliest.
Before leaving the palace, you must take action.
Tao Yuwei said with a smile, "As long as the emperor likes it, I'm happy. As for the reward, I want to eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made in the Imperial Study!"
The procedure is complicated and a bit troublesome to make, but it should extend her time out of the palace.
"You are so rude. How about this? Have dinner with me, and I will send someone to escort you out of the palace."
Emperor Jianchang shook his head in amusement, and Eunuch Zhao immediately gave orders, notifying the imperial kitchen to prepare two servings of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
In this way, Tao Yuwei successfully stayed.
Yunxiao, who came with her, and the maid who knew martial arts were taken to a side hall to rest.
At this time, Xiao Lichen came to the imperial study.
When he saw Tao Yuwei, he looked calm and ignored her presence.
[Why are you so arrogant? I'm your savior!]
Xiao Lichen sat in a wheelchair and calmly saluted Emperor Jianchang.
"Your Majesty, I have some clues about the matter I asked you to investigate some time ago."
"Are you investigating the sudden death of the palace maid? I have the object she threw into the lake. I can't take it out easily, or the General's Mansion will be in great trouble."
The case of the Duke of Zhuguo back then involved many people. The person behind the scenes was too cruel and powerful. She would not take out that thing before making all the necessary preparations.
Otherwise, when the other party finds out, they will be desperate and will attack the General's Mansion.
[I hope you can discuss official business for a while. I'm going to meet the Seventh Princess.]
When Tao Yuwei saw that they were going to discuss official business, she immediately left the room.
Her thoughts reached Xiao Lichen's mind, and his hands, which were supporting the wheelchair, began to tremble involuntarily.
A strong desire to kill surged in my heart.
The important evidence involving her grandfather's treason was in her hands.
Facing Emperor Jianchang who was waiting for him to report on official business, Xiao Lichen used all his rationality to suppress the trembling murderous intent that filled his mind.
In the peach blossom eyes, which were usually calm and peaceful, there were surging storms and torrential rain, which were difficult to hide completely.
He turned his head to look at Tao Yuwei as she left, and his gaze was caught by Emperor Jianchang.
But it caused misunderstanding on the other side.
"You don't want to marry Anle?"
Emperor Jianchang stared at Xiao Lichen's face with an unfriendly look.
He had already checked all the civil and military officials in the court for Anle in advance. In his opinion, none of them were worthy of that girl.
This brat dared to set his sights on Anle.
He looked Xiao Lichen up and down with the critical eyes of an old father.
With a tense mood and facing the inexplicable questioning from his uncle the emperor, Xiao Lichen secretly felt lucky and was speechless.
The eldest daughter of the Tao family is only twelve years old this year and has not yet reached the age of marriage. What is the emperor's uncle thinking?
Looking at his extremely capable yet silent nephew, Emperor Jianchang thought he had guessed correctly and sighed softly, "It's not impossible to marry her, but she must marry you voluntarily."
If someone talks about marrying Tao Yuwei, Emperor Jianchang will definitely be the first to disagree. He even dislikes his own sons who want to marry her.
