"this……"
Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure's face instantly turned ashen. He lowered his head helplessly and said nothing more.
"Quickly subdue him, lest he harm the king."
"yes!"
Xu Yuehuai waved for the guards to take the thief away; her movements were elegant and decisive. She stood there, bathed in moonlight, which draped her in a sacred glow.
The people in the palace watched her retreating figure, their hearts filled with admiration and respect. They knew that Xu Yuehuai was not only an outstanding female official, but also a wise woman with keen insight and extraordinary wisdom.
Bathed in moonlight, the magnificent palace seemed shrouded in a veil of mystery. Deep within the palace, a long-lost treasure lay quietly, as if awaiting the return of its master.
Xu Yuehuai, a female official in the palace, quietly walked up to the treasure.
Her fingers gently touched the dazzling jewels, and instantly, the entire palace was illuminated by that brilliant light.
A satisfied smile spread across Xu Yuehuai's face, a smile filled with relief and pride. She seemed to be saying, "Look, this is the palace I protect. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will protect it." Her eyes were clear and resolute, as if nothing could shake her determination.
"It still has to be Lady Shen!"
"Your reaction was incredibly quick! It's all thanks to you that His Majesty was protected!"
"Lady Shen, you are truly remarkable!" An official stepped forward and exclaimed sincerely. His eyes shone with admiration, as if he were applauding Xu Yuehuai's wisdom and courage.
Xu Yuehua nodded slightly in gratitude. She knew this was just the beginning, and she still had a long road ahead in the face of the chaos in Dongsang Kingdom.
Bai Yu also stood up from his throne, a smile of appreciation on his face.
He walked up to Xu Yuehuai and nodded in agreement: "Minister Shen, your wisdom and courage have saved the court from loss. I will remember your merits."
Xu Yuehuai bowed slightly to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will continue to safeguard the peace and prosperity of this palace."
Inside the palace, lights flickered and shadows danced. Xu Yuehuai's figure appeared exceptionally tall under the lights. Standing in the center of the palace, she seemed to have become a pillar of the court.
She knew that this might just be another of Bai Yu's schemes, but fortunately she managed to escape danger once again!
The once confident figure in the shadows was now being escorted out of the palace. His silhouette appeared particularly forlorn in the moonlight, as if telling a story of his defeat and regret.
Xu Yuehuai didn't even glance at him; her heart was filled only with loyalty and protection for the palace.
In one corner of the palace, the traces of battle are still clearly visible. The broken weapons and scattered armor tell the story of a fierce battle that had just taken place.
Xu Yuehuai recalled the battle just now and felt a wave of fear.
The palace bells rang, breaking the silence of the night. Xu Yuehuai left the palace with the crowd, a satisfied smile returning to her face.
This danger has finally passed, and what follows is no longer her concern.
...
In the depths of the palace, Xu Yuehuai was like a dazzling pearl set in the night sky, her brilliance flowing endlessly through the galaxy of history.
Whenever storms rage and crises lurk, she always manages to lead everyone forward with her extraordinary wisdom and unwavering faith.
She was not only an outstanding female official, but also a guiding light and guardian in the hearts of countless people in the palace.
As night falls, the palace corridors seem to transform into a winding river, shimmering softly under the moonlight.
This long corridor, usually a place where palace maids bustled about, was unusually quiet at this moment.
Only the occasional whispers and footsteps of the palace maids gently rippled through the tranquil night, like ripples on a river, shimmering with tiny points of light under the moonlight.
Xu Yuehuai stood quietly in a corner of the corridor, her figure appearing and disappearing in the moonlight, as if she had blended into the tranquil night.
Her eyes were like stars in the night sky, deep and bright, exuding a mysterious power that seemed to see into people's hearts. Her gaze moved slowly down the corridor, as if searching for something.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."
Suddenly, a soft sobbing broke the tranquility of the night. Xu Yuehuai frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw a palace maid squatting in a corner, covering her face with her hands and weeping with trembling shoulders.
Xu Yuehuai's heart skipped a beat. She walked over softly and asked gently, "What's wrong? What's making you so sad?"
The palace maid raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Xu Yuehuai. Her lips moved a few times, but she couldn't utter a word.
"I...I..."
Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly, gently took the palace maid's hand, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you. You can tell me what happened, and I will do my best to help you."
Under Xu Yuehuai's warm comfort, the palace maid finally relaxed her tense nerves and began to pour out her troubles. It turned out that she had been scolded by the Empress Dowager for a small mistake, and she felt both wronged and afraid.
"I didn't mean it. Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has been in a bad mood lately. No, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is very good. It's...it's my fault!"
"But I really didn't mean to upset the Empress Dowager."
Xu Yuehuai listened quietly, nodding occasionally, using warm words to dispel the gloom in the palace maid's heart.
After the palace maid finished speaking, Xu Yuehuai gently patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't be sad. Everyone makes mistakes. The key is to learn from them and not repeat them. I believe you can do it."
The palace maid raised her head, tears of gratitude glistening in her eyes. She grasped Xu Yuehuai's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Lady Shen. Your words have made me feel much better. I will remember your teachings and will be more careful in the future."
Xu Yuehuai smiled and shook her head. She gently patted the palace maid's shoulder and said, "Go on, get some rest. There are many things waiting for you to do tomorrow."
"OK!"
The palace maid nodded, gave Xu Yuehuai a grateful look, and then turned and left.
Xu Yuehuai watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor, and couldn't help but ponder, "Has the Empress Dowager been in a bad mood lately?"
Isn't the Empress Dowager usually very gentle?
Could it be that something has happened to the Empress Dowager again?
It seems I'll have to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to take a look.
As night deepened, the palace corridors returned to tranquility. Only the moonlight shone on Xu Yuehuai, casting her long shadow, like a beautiful painting.
She stood there quietly, as if guarding this peaceful night, providing a warm haven for the palace maids who needed help.
