After Quan Wufeng left the palace, he saw that Eunuch Wang, who should have gone to rest, was leading a group of women over.
"Imperial Physician Quan," Eunuch Wang said with a slight bow, "this is the woman we found for the Emperor. Please take a look..."
Behind him were groups of beautiful women, each one incredibly charming. Among them, several young girls were trembling, clearly having been suddenly brought into the palace.
Quan Wufeng rubbed his temples and said to Eunuch Wang, "Give them some silver and send them away. Make sure they are sent back to where they came from."
“Then Your Majesty…” Eunuch Wang was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that the Emperor would continue to cause trouble.
"It's alright," Quan Wufeng reminded, "What happened tonight must not be spread."
"It's Imperial Physician Quan." Eunuch Wang waved to the guards behind him, who then led the women out of the palace.
At that moment, a shout came from inside the palace.
"Wang Xi!"
Upon hearing the sound, Wang Xi hurriedly went inside, "Your Majesty."
"Wang Xi, send someone to tidy up this place."
"This servant will send someone to clean up right away." Wang Xi looked up and then noticed that there was a woman beside the emperor. He was very surprised and took a few more glances at her.
"Wang Xi, didn't you hear what I said?" Yan Yan pulled Mu Tiantian closer to her.
"This servant will call someone over immediately." Wang Xi dared not say more and hurriedly went to fetch someone.
Yan Yan tugged at Mu Tian Tian's sleeve, pouted, and said with a slightly aggrieved expression, "Sister, where did you go?"
"I... went home."
"Why didn't you take me with you when you went home?" Yan Yan asked pitifully. "You said you'd cook me something delicious, but you didn't want to cook for me, so you threw me away?"
"How could that be?" Mu Tiantian coaxed, "My sister's house is too small, it can't fit you."
"Really?" Yan Yan was a little skeptical.
Mu Tiantian said in a serious tone, "Really, look how sincere my sister is."
As she spoke, she blinked to appear more sincere.
Yan Yan blinked and asked, "Does my sister still mean she'll cook me something delicious?"
Seeing that he believed her, Mu Tiantian found him quite adorable. She reached out and ruffled his hair, saying softly, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
As Yan Yan felt her hair being touched, a sense of familiarity welled up in her heart.
When the eunuch Wang sent people in to clean up, they were both shocked and curious upon seeing the scene.
This was the first time he had ever seen the Emperor so obedient at night.
Is this the beautiful sister the Emperor mentioned?
She is indeed quite attractive.
After the palace was restored to its original state, Wang Xi withdrew.
He couldn't help but ask Quan Wufeng, "Imperial Physician Quan, who is that woman beside the Emperor?"
"Eunuch Wang, do not mention what you saw and heard tonight in front of others, especially the Emperor," Quan Wufeng instructed.
Wang Xi was somewhat puzzled, but he still followed the instructions and kept the matter of tonight a secret.
Just as Quan Wufeng was about to leave, Yan Yan pulled Mu Tiantian and ran out.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Quan Wufeng stopped him.
"I'm going to take my sister to the imperial kitchen," Yan Yan said with a happy smile.
Quan Wufeng glanced at Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian explained, "I just went to make him some desserts."
"Don't talk to him so much." Yan Yan didn't want to waste any more words and happily dragged her towards the direction of the imperial kitchen.
Quan Wufeng and Tang Xiu followed behind.
Seeing this, Yan Yan said to Tang Xiu, "Tang Xiu, it's too late now. You should escort Physician Quan back to rest. Don't follow me."
After saying that, Yan Yan grabbed Mu Tian Tian and ran away.
Just as Quan Wufeng was about to follow, Tang Xiu stopped him, "Imperial Physician Quan."
Quan Wufeng smiled upon seeing this, "You are indeed loyal."
"It's my duty." Tang Xiu always had that serious expression.
"It's my duty... Guard Tang." Quan Wufeng looked directly at him and asked, "Are you doing it out of duty, or are you acting on someone's behalf?"
Before the palace coup, Tang Xiu and Feng Qianyan had almost never met or spoken to each other.
After the palace coup, Tang Xiu devoted himself to helping Feng Qianyan eliminate the enemy.
At first, Quan Wufeng thought he had ulterior motives, but after getting to know him, he found that he really just wanted to be a loyal imperial bodyguard.
Quan Wufeng had investigated and found that during the palace coup, Feng Qianlin's men ambushed Tang Xiu and his entire group in the western suburbs.
Unexpectedly, he survived. Although his eyes were severely damaged, they have recovered a lot after three years of treatment.
Quan Wufeng said he was acting on someone's behalf because Tang Xiu's eyes had been treated by someone else before he sought treatment from him.
Therefore, Tang Xiu survived only because he was rescued.
Quan Wufeng had reason to suspect that his loyalty to Feng Qianyan was at the behest of the person who saved him.
Tang Xiu replied indifferently, "It's my duty."
Seeing that he was tight-lipped, Quan Wufeng didn't ask any more questions. He looked up at the two figures running towards the imperial kitchen, still feeling a bit frustrated, and turned to leave.
Tang Xiu followed behind to escort them.
Quan Wufeng has been staying in the palace because of Feng Qianyan's illness.
Before returning to his room, he told Tang Xiu, "Before sunrise, have Mu Tiantian wait for me."
"Yes." He still had that serious and wooden look on his face.
I remember a few years ago Mu Tiantian told him that Tang Xiu was like a wooden statue with only one expression.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Quan Wufeng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you want to ask Mu Tiantian?"
He knew everything about Mu Tiantian, including her identity and what she had done.
Now that he has suddenly returned, isn't he at all surprised?
"I am merely a guard; I have no right to inquire into His Majesty's private affairs," Tang Xiu said respectfully.
Quan Wufeng sighed, "Never mind, you can go back now."
Tang Xiu bowed and returned to wait outside the emperor's bedroom.
...
In the imperial dining room.
System: [Quan Wufeng's rage value +5, currently 75.]
Mu Tiantian: 【...Why?】
System: [It's possible that Feng Qianyan is angry because he doesn't want him to come along, fearing you might do something.]
Mu Tiantian let out a long sigh.
What should we do?
She glanced at the ingredients in the imperial kitchen.
How about we offer some food as a bribe? Maybe that will calm them down.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Yan Yan asked with his innocent eyes full of curiosity.
"It's okay, what would you like to eat?"
I'll eat whatever my sister makes.
Mu Tiantian smiled upon hearing this, finding her quite easy to talk to.
She thought for a moment and then began to work.
She had been to this imperial kitchen many times and knew it very well.
Back then, when Feng Qianyan and Consort Yun were bullied and couldn't even get a full meal, she secretly went to the imperial kitchen to cook some food for them and bring it back with her.
Mu Tiantian was preparing the ingredients, while Yan Yan stood beside her, grinning sheepishly, his joy evident in his eyes.
Then he noticed that Mu Tiantian's lips were pale, and asked curiously, "Sister, why are your lips so pale?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian subconsciously licked her lips and said casually, "It's innate."
Yan Yan swallowed instinctively when she saw Yan Yan licking her lips.
