Chapter 827 The Gift
Xiao Chengqi felt half relieved. "Please come in quickly!"
As they were talking, Shen Yanchuan strode over.
"Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me." He knelt on one knee to pay his respects. "However, Your Majesty can rest assured that the rebels will not be able to break into the palace."
Someone couldn't help but say, "Your Highness makes it sound so easy! The rebels are coming in a fierce and numerous manner! Does Your Highness really think that sending out the Black Cavalry will stop them all?"
How many Black Cavalry Guards are there?!
At most, it's only a thousand people!
How could they possibly win?!
Shen Yanchuan turned around. "So, Lord Lin has a better method?"
"I—" Lin Xueping choked, unable to speak, and could only angrily fling his sleeves, "Since the young master has said so, we will not compete with the young master for credit!"
Xiao Chengqi frowned.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Shen Yanchuan, but he understood that the current situation was dire, and relying solely on Shen Yanchuan's Black Cavalry and palace guards wouldn't be enough to hold out for long.
"Yan Chuan, what do you plan to do?"
Before Shen Yanchuan could speak, another announcement came from outside.
"Your Majesty! Miss Ye has urgent business to discuss with you!"
"Ye Chutang!?"
Not only Xiao Chengqi, but everyone present was stunned.
"What is she doing here at this time?"
Lin Xueping even laughed out loud.
"A mere woman like her would only cause trouble if she came! How absurd!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze fall on him.
Shen Yanchuan remained expressionless, his thin lips slightly parted, but the words he uttered were cold and harsh.
"So, Lord Lin has been here for so long, but has he been of great help to His Majesty?"
"you--"
"Miss Ye possesses extraordinary medical skills, capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones. I wonder what abilities Lord Lin possesses?"
Shen Yanchuan showed no mercy, leaving Lin Xueping extremely embarrassed, yet unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
—Because Shen Yanchuan was telling the truth!
At this moment, if Xiao Chengqi were injured, Ye Chutang could save his life. But if it were Lin Xueping... what use would she be but a nag?
Xiao Chengqi didn't have time to ask any more questions, he simply said, "Summon them!"
He knew Ye Chutang to some extent, and his entry into the palace at this time must mean he had something important to discuss.
Soon, Ye Chutang entered the hall.
She was about to bow when Xiao Chengqi stopped her, "The situation is urgent, Miss Ye, there's no need for such formalities. Just tell me what brings you here!"
Ye Chutang nodded slightly.
"I have come to the palace to present something to Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengqi was taken aback. "What is that?"
Ye Chutang took out a purse from her bosom and presented it with both hands.
"Please have Your Majesty read this."
Xiao Chengqi took it and found it to be heavy, as if it contained something.
He touched it; it was cold and hard.
"This is……"
He hesitated for a moment, opened the purse and looked inside, but the moment he saw it clearly, he was suddenly stunned!
This is actually—
He suddenly looked up, staring at Ye Chutang in disbelief.
How did you get this?!
Everyone was stunned, looking completely bewildered.
What exactly was in that purse that caused His Majesty to react so strongly?
Ye Chutang smiled.
"This is a gift sent by a friend through a third party. I believe it would be most appropriate to give it to Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengqi clutched the purse tightly, his heart pounding with emotion that he could not calm down for a long time!
After a moment, he took a deep breath and said decisively:
"I will go to the palace gate myself!"
