With the help of the locals (Number Nine) and Qingyin's unique charm and stunning beauty, she thrived in the White Tiger Camp.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Chongzhao flipped through the memorials in his hands, his annoyance growing stronger.
"Are they all just good-for-nothings? Not a single one of them can explain the disaster in the south!"
"Ha, trash, all useless trash!"
...
Li Yuanzhen looked at His Majesty, who was raging in the hall, and kept his head down tightly, not daring to utter a sound.
These days, ever since His Majesty sent away Young Master Ruyu, his temper has become increasingly worse. In court, there are quite a few ministers who have been severely scolded for the slightest inappropriate behavior.
I heard that many ministers in the court went to the Empress and the Empress Dowager for help, but unfortunately none of them got a good result.
His Majesty's temper is not something that outsiders can persuade.
As Li Yuanzhen pondered, he couldn't help but think of the young master Ruyu, who was thousands of miles away. If the young master Ruyu were here, His Majesty's temper would have been quite good back then, but alas...
"Li Yuanzhen!" Emperor Chongzhao's cold, suppressed voice rang out, and Li Yuanzhen immediately stopped his jumbled thoughts.

Time seemed to stand still for a while. Li Yuanzhen, who had not heard a response from His Majesty, dared not make the slightest move and continued to bow respectfully, waiting for His Majesty's instructions.
The wait was silent for a long time, until Li Yuanzhen felt his bent back was about to stiffen, before he heard His Majesty's extremely complicated voice: "Tell me, how is Ruyu doing in the White Tiger Camp?"

But there are too many problems. An emperor cannot admit that he cares too much about such a child, as this would become his weakness.
The young emperor's sharp features were half-shadowed by the candlelight, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
Li Yuanzhen wasn't sure whether His Majesty still valued the young master Ruyu, so he could only solemnly recount what the guards had told him: "Your Majesty, according to the guards, young master Ruyu didn't cry at all when he arrived there. He even learned more sign language and can now communicate with people without any problems. Young master Ruyu has also made friends with a child codenamed Number Nine, and the other children like him very much..."
"Alright." The man's magnetic, enigmatic voice rang out, interrupting Li Yuanzhen's continued report.
Emperor Chongzhao raised an eyebrow slightly, concealing the worry in his eyes for the child.
Ha, you heartless little thing, you didn't even think of him when you got there.
