"You will stay at Fu Shuang Palace."
“Perfect timing. I stayed here a few days ago, and the soft couch and bedding are still quite complete.” Yun Beiye turned his head and glanced at the soft couch next to the table.
Using the imperial bed that the emperor once slept on?!
This is an immense honor!
Yun Duoduo sucked on her fingers, thinking to herself, "Daddy, this isn't appropriate! Even though she's just a baby, she's still a girl. It's not good for her to be alone in a room with a man!"
"Your Majesty, wouldn't this be..." Zhao Zhongquan frowned, hesitating on how to put it.
"Yes, we'll put up a curtain in the middle of Fu Shuang Palace to separate Jin Jinzhi and Duoduo. When Duoduo gets a little older, I'll find suitable guards to stand outside her bedchamber."
"Putting a curtain between us, Father, isn't that a bit hasty?"
Is this really appropriate?
Yun Duoduo frowned, worried. What if her future husband knew that a man had slept in the same room with her? Would he be jealous?
Won't this damage her reputation and integrity?
Yun Beiye picked up Yun Duoduo. These were extraordinary times, and someone needed to protect her closely.
Jin Jinzhi is skilled in martial arts and was able to rescue Duoduo from the fire, which shows that the child is kind-hearted, brave and resourceful. He felt at ease leaving him by Duoduo's side.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly protect the princess's safety."
"Old Zhao, find a few reliable and steady wet nurses to take care of the little princess. Before the palace maids come out of the laundry department, someone needs to take care of the princess's daily life."
"Yes, this old servant will arrange it immediately."
Listening to Yun Beiye assign one task after another to Zhao Zhongquan, Yun Duoduo felt a little sorry for Uncle Zhao Zhongquan. With so many people in the palace, all the big and tricky tasks fell on Uncle Zhao's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is waiting outside the palace," a guard at the entrance of Fushuang Palace announced.
"The Empress? What is she doing here? Has the matter concerning her son been investigated?" Yun Beiye raised an eyebrow.
"Let her in."
Empress Zhaoyuan was very busy today. First, she went to the washroom and arrested the dog-like eunuch Li Er who was delivering the message. Then she went to Consort Chen's Jade Palace and made a scene, slapping Consort Chen and the head maid of the Jade Palace, Kou Dan.
Upon hearing that Yun Beiye was at Fushuang Palace, he immediately went there.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!" Empress Zhaoyuan knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly. It was that vile woman from the Jade Palace who took Yibo's little white dog to the Buddhist hall and then found a eunuch to trick my son into going there."
"It's also my fault for not keeping a close eye on Yibo."
Yun Beiye narrowed his eyes slightly, sorting out his thoughts, "You mean Consort Chen instructed the eunuchs to lure the First Prince to the Buddhist hall?"
"Your Majesty's decision is indeed correct." Empress Zhaoyuan nodded.
Why would Consort Chen do this?
Why would she frame the eldest prince?
"Was the fire in the Buddhist hall started by Consort Chen?"
Faced with Yun Beiye's three questions, Empress Zhaoyuan was momentarily speechless. In the morning at the Jade Palace, Consort Chen insisted that she knew nothing about the matter and that it was all the work of the palace maid Kou Dan.
But anyone with a brain knows that without a master's instructions, even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to act on her own.
So it's certain that Consort Chen instructed someone to lead her son to the Buddhist hall, but why would she do that? Did she really start the fire in the Buddhist hall?
Yun Beiye looked at Empress Zhaoyuan and sighed helplessly in his heart. This empress, ah, still isn't quite smart enough.
"Zhao Zhongquan, find out exactly what Consort Chen wanted by leading the First Prince to the Buddhist hall. Also, did Consort Chen start the fire?"
Upon hearing the emperor call his name, Zhao Zhongquan's heart trembled violently. [Oh no, another job! I probably won't be able to sleep tonight!]
When Yun Duoduo heard Zhao Zhongquan complaining inwardly, she chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'm so sorry. It's all because of me that you've had so much extra work."
"Yes, yes, this servant remembers, I will take care of it right away."
"Yes, Jinzhi, I'm entrusting the little princess to you now. I'm returning to Zichen Palace."
"Your Majesty, I obey the decree and respectfully see you off." Jin Jinzhi watched Yun Beiye depart.
The footsteps faded into the distance. Jin Jinzhi walked up to Yun Duoduo, looked at her, and smiled.
After carefully looking around and confirming that there were no suspicious persons, he closed the door.
Yun Duoduo became wary as she observed his expression and actions.
Having survived two assassination attempts, she was extremely sensitive to such things, her nerves constantly on edge.
[Good heavens, guard, why are you closing the door?]
Yun Duoduo was a little confused. Could it be that this handsome young man was a double agent who had come to take her life today?
Yun Duoduo's heart was in her throat.
No, she thought again. He was the one who rescued her from the fire that day. He wouldn't go to such lengths to kill her. No, no, he wouldn't.
Jin Jinzhi took off her outer garment.
Yun Duoduo panicked. "Don't look! Why are they taking off their clothes?" She raised her little paws to cover her eyes.
Slowly, she opened her palm slightly, watching Jin Jinzhi's movements through her fingers.
He took off his clothes one by one, and finally took off his undergarments as well.
Wow, what a figure!
Jin Jin's strong back and perfectly sculpted waist and abdomen were revealed, her arms were smooth, and her neck was upright and just right.
Yun Duoduo's eyes widened. This... this... this is something she can watch without paying?!
Yun Duoduo slowly lowered her little paws, not daring to blink even once, for fear of missing something.
She wasn't the type of person who would lose her mind or her heartbeat because of beauty, but when she saw this perfect and alluring body, she couldn't help but stare at it and even wanted to reach out and touch it.
Jin Jinzhi took out the medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the wound on her chest.
"Hiss." The powder was sprinkled on the wound, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Wow wow wow." Yun Duoduo made a sound unconsciously.
Jin Jinzhi turned around and looked at Yun Duoduo. He couldn't imagine what was going on in the baby's mind.
Looking at the burns on her body, Yun Duoduo felt a pang of sadness. It was all because of saving her that the little brother was so badly injured.
It must hurt a lot!
Yun Duoduo blinked her big, bright eyes and stared intently at Jin Jinzhi.
As she watched, Yun Duoduo's saliva involuntarily flowed out, and she felt her mouth was wet.
Jin Jinzhi felt the burning gaze fixed on him. He put on his clothes, tied his belt, and turned around to look at the little person on the bed.
Jin Jin smiled and gently wiped the drool from Yun Duoduo's mouth with a handkerchief.
His face was so close, Yun Duoduo felt a little flustered. His eyelashes were so long!
