"Okay, let's all live there." Zhong Mingwei felt warm in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to pull Mei Ya into his arms, saying softly, "There's one more thing you didn't say just now."
"What?" Mei Ya asked him, tilting her head upwards, and rubbing his gloomy chin.
"That's where you saved me," Zhong Mingwei said softly, lowering his head, holding Meiya's face, and leaning over to kiss the pink mark on Meiya's chin. "Girl, that's where we started."
On the night of entering the palace, Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya talked about what happened in the past. Mei Ya was shocked and hugged Zhong Mingwei all night. She was grateful and scared. If she hadn't risked her life to save the strange man from the fire on New Year's Eve, how could he and Zhong Mingwei be together today? Zhong Mingwei was hugged by her so tightly all night that his body was numb, but his heart was moved. He always felt guilty towards Mei Ya, but Mei Ya didn't complain at all. Instead, she felt that the scar was worth it. How could there be such a stupid and good girl?
"Bah! Stop saying these sour words! You didn't even remember me at that time, and you didn't even know that I saved you! You even owed me a lot of Tianling Regenerating Cream!" The stupid but kind girl spat at him viciously. Seeing Zhong Mingwei's ashamed face, Mei Ya felt so happy. She sat on Zhong Mingwei's thighs with her legs spread wide, and taught him a lesson condescendingly, "So, from now on, we will live in Jingren Palace all the time, so that you can always remember what happened here in the past, so that you won't have any unfaithful thoughts when you see beautiful women in the future!"
"There are no beautiful women here! I don't have any romantic thoughts at all!" Zhong Mingwei was busy expressing his loyalty, "I don't even want a palace maid to be around me anymore. Is that right?"
"Humph, you wish that no one knew I was a tigress, didn't you?" Mei Ya glared at him and suddenly asked, "By the way, why did I hear that you were planning to let a group of palace maids leave the palace?"
"Prince Rong came up with the idea of letting the palace maids and eunuchs guard the city, which frightened the palace maids. I'm afraid they won't want to serve in the palace anymore. It would be better to just let them leave the palace. I've asked someone to do a count. Anyone who wants to leave will be given a sum of money so they can leave the palace with peace of mind," Zhong Mingwei explained, pausing for a moment before continuing, "However, all the palace maids who entered the palace before the 32nd year of Jiasheng will be let out this time."
Mei Ya was stunned for a moment, then she understood. She was the first to leave the palace at the age of 32. Although her appearance had changed greatly, she could hardly avoid being recognized. Therefore, Zhong Mingwei's move was intended to protect her. After all, she was the descendant of a criminal. If someone could find evidence against her, there would definitely be trouble.
"Got it," Meiya nodded, leaning over to kiss Zhong Mingwei on the lips, "You're so thoughtful, I didn't even think of this."
"Is it too late to compensate you for the Tianling Regenerating Cream now?" Zhong Mingwei asked with a smile, pinching Mei Ya's small chin.
"Tianling Regenerating Cream? Humph! My worth is different now. The Tianling Regenerating Cream alone can't satisfy me." Mei Ya put her arms around the man's neck, her forehead against his, and looked at him with her big black eyes without blinking. "How about you give yourself to me as compensation?"
Zhong Mingwei burst out laughing: "Okay, it's rare that the young lady has such good taste, how can I live up to her kindness?"
As the two were talking and laughing, they heard the shrill, panicked voice of a young eunuch coming from outside.
"Your Majesty! I have something important to report!"
Mei Ya was busy getting off Zhong Mingwei and sat down on the other side of the couch. Then Zhong Mingwei said to the outside, "Come in."
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!" As soon as the young eunuch entered the imperial study, he knelt on the ground with a thump, crying bitterly, "The emperor passed out this morning, and the imperial doctors have been busy in Ningshou Palace for a long time, and finally made the emperor wake up. The emperor has been groggy and unable to speak for a month, but this time he woke up and was able to speak, and he spoke quite clearly. The imperial doctors were all shocked, thinking that this might be a terminal recovery! Your Majesty, please hurry over! The emperor said he wants to see you!"
