And so the emperor's laughter once again echoed throughout the hall, accompanied by a series of "clack clack" sounds as he slapped the table.
At the same time, the eunuchs and several Tiger Guards outside the hall, who heard the commotion, couldn't help but turn around and look into the hall.
"Oh my god!!"
When a eunuch saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong lying on the palace floor, and the emperor laughing without any regard for his image, he couldn't help but gasp and quickly covered his eyes. Several Tiger Guards also turned around and looked straight ahead without looking to the side.
Just then, the female official beside Dou Miao arrived outside the palace with several palace maids carrying food boxes.
Seeing their appearance and hearing the commotion coming from inside the hall, Xiao Hong frowned, looked at the young eunuch, and couldn't help but ask:
What happened inside the hall?
Hearing the commotion, the eunuch released his grip and then noticed Xiao Hong standing in front of him.
"Oh, it's Sister Xiaohong! You should take a look for yourself!"
After the eunuch finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed inside the hall.
"Pfft~"
Upon seeing the scene inside the hall, Xiao Hong couldn't help but chuckle. She quickly covered her mouth and turned away.
Hearing Liu Hong's hearty laughter echoing from inside the hall, Xiao Hong's heart stirred slightly, as if a soft spot within her had been gently touched.
She served Dou Miao for many years, and the two had a deep bond, like mother and daughter.
Since Liu Hong entered the palace, Dou Miao has always treated him as her own son. As the saying goes, love extends to everything connected to the house, and Xiao Hong has always regarded Liu Hong as her younger brother, showing him care and love in her words and actions.
Xiao Hong also frequently spoke highly of Liu Hong in front of Dou Miao, which made the nominal mother-son relationship between Liu Hong and Dou Miao very harmonious.
Liu Hong, who was inside the hall, only stopped laughing when he felt a pain in his stomach.
Wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, Liu Hong looked helplessly at Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang. At this moment, he realized that this must have been done on purpose by Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang.
"Look what you've done to the Five Animal Frolics!"
After saying that, Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang and said, "Zhao Zhong is alright, at least he's like a little tiger cub."
What about you? That's clearly the sound of a dog barking! And a dog that's been beaten up!
Liu Hong shook his head helplessly. "What do you think would happen if Yuan Hua found out that you turned the Five Animal Frolics, which he painstakingly created, into a 'Tiger Cub Play' and a 'Dog Play'?"
"Heh~ If you anger Yuanhua, I won't be able to protect you!"
Liu Hong's lips curled up slightly as he gave the two of them a malicious look.
"Uh... this..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong couldn't help but shudder. They had been so focused on making the emperor happy that they had forgotten about this. They looked up at the emperor with pleading eyes.
They knew very well that Hua Tuo held a position in the emperor's heart no less than Mo Shang's. If Hua Tuo were to ask the emperor if he wanted to study them, the emperor would probably hand them both over to Hua Tuo without hesitation.
