Their eagerness left no room for doubt.
"Regardless of the circumstances, this is an offense against His Majesty! Guards..."
"Never mind."
The Emperor suddenly waved his hand, interrupting General Xie, "She's just a maid, and she's loyal. This is Lingqin's own business, General. We shouldn't interfere too much, should we?" The Emperor smiled again at the end of his sentence, looking at Xie Faqin, "Alright, this girl seems quite pleasing. Go back to your room."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Let's go back to the palace."
"Your Majesty, just in case, I will escort you back to the palace," General Xie immediately requested.
The Emperor glanced at him, and after a moment, nodded, "Good."
Once the group had disappeared from sight, Tridacna immediately stepped forward to help Zihe up, asking, "Grandma Zihe, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I'll be fine in a few days." Zihe waved her hand, gritted her teeth, and then walked towards the main house. In front of all the maids and nannies in the courtyard, she said, "Miss, it's chilly at night, you should go inside first."
Xie Lingqin nodded.
Once inside the house...
Xie Lingqin then looked at Zihe and asked, "So, is it really okay if I only need a few days to recover?"
"Don't worry, Miss. I was prepared, so I wasn't seriously injured. But Miss, was tonight a success? The Emperor didn't suspect you, did he?"
Xie Lingqin nodded. "No, she wanted to test my wound. I did have a wound, and it was bleeding. She also wanted to test you, but you revealed your martial arts skills, which made the Emperor break through all the vague suspicions."
"That's good, Miss. I'll prepare some water for you. You've got so much blood on you, you should wash it off."
Tridacna calamari stood there.
"Hmm." Xie Lingqin nodded, but her expression didn't look relaxed. "However, we have new trouble now."
"Miss, are you referring to the marriage bestowed by the Emperor just now?"
Xie Lingqin sighed and nodded, "Yes, if this gets out, who knows what trouble it will cause. If His Majesty was just joking, then that's fine."
The purple river and the giant clam stared at each other in bewilderment.
Your Majesty, how could you joke?
This is probably definitely true.
"Zihe, were you sure when you caught the cat just now?"
"Miss, it's confirmed. As you predicted, because people were sent to escort the Emperor, the number of guards in the General's Mansion is now less than half of what it used to be. More importantly, the General is also away escorting the Emperor."
"Hehe, my father will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to gain face in front of the Emperor today."
As Xie Lingqin spoke, she took out a black cloth and covered her face. Tonight was a good opportunity for her, and she was determined to explore the secret passage in General Xie's study.
However, just as Xie Lingqin was about to jump out of the window, Xie Yushu strode in from outside the courtyard.
"Young Miss, has the young master been captured by bandits?"
