With mixed feelings, He Yunxiao walked back to the Empress's palace.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he heard a commotion inside.
Nanzhu's wife: "Why isn't my brother back yet?"
Physician Bai: "Young Master Zhang has not returned for a long time; I'm afraid something has happened to him."
Nanzhu's wife: "What should we do? Let's go find him quickly."
Physician Bai said, "No, if he is captured by the Imperial Guards, it will be useless for us to go looking for him."
Xiaoxiao: "I'll go find someone."
Physician Bai said, "Young lady, don't be impulsive. If you wander around the palace recklessly and get caught by the Imperial Guards, you'll be in trouble."
Xiao Xiao: "What trouble? Just kill them all."
Physician Bai: "Young lady, be careful what you say!"
Palace maid: "Please stop arguing, everyone. The princess is still ill."
Chu Chu: "If He Yunxiao suffers even the slightest mishap, I will make the Yan Kingdom pay with its life."
Chu Chu: "Get out of my way."
Physician Bai: "Young lady, calm down! It would be best to go back and discuss this matter carefully."
Chu Chu: "I don't want to discuss this further. I need the person."
Nan Zhu's wife: "Chu Chu!"
Chu Chu: "You're stopping me too?"
Nan Zhu's wife: "Chu Chu can't kill anyone!"
Chu Chu: "I can kill as many as I want." (www.cascoo.net)
Palace maid: "Please be quiet, everyone..."
Seeing that the situation inside the room was about to get out of control, He Yunxiao quickly went in to calm the troops down.
"I'm here, I'm fine."
"He Yunxiao!" Nan Zhu's wife threw herself into his arms.
In the heat of the moment, no one seemed to realize what would happen if the "siblings" hugged.
Following Nanzhu was Physician Bai.
"Young man, where have you been?"
"I met the Yan Emperor and chatted with her for a while."
"Huh?" Doctor Bai looked incredulous.
"I'll tell you later." He Yunxiao said perfunctorily to Doctor Bai, then took Nan Zhu's wife's hand and walked step by step toward Chu Chu.
"Chuchu, I'm back."
"You still know how to come back. I thought you had died out there." After He Yunxiao appeared, Chu Chu remained standing in the same spot. Only when he came over and spoke to her did she respond with a curt reply.
He Yunxiao was most afraid of Chu Chu's words, which were about her indiscriminately killing innocent people.
Whether it's "Chuchu" or "Xiaoxiao", the female lead is beautiful, fair-skinned, and her clean hands must never be stained with the blood of injustice.
"Chuchu, even if I hadn't come back, you can't lay a hand on innocent people," He Yunxiao said gently.
Chu Chu looked into He Yunxiao's eyes and said, "If you really care, then don't make people worry in the future."
He Yunxiao's eyes widened.
So Chu Chu can say such sweet nothings...
"Chuchu, what did you just say? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."
Just as Chu Chu was about to speak, she was interrupted by an tactless palace maid: "My lords, Her Highness the Princess needs quiet..."
He Yunxiao complained, "Can't you wait until my Chuchu finishes speaking?"
Based on his experience of meeting the Yan Emperor, He Yunxiao roughly understood what was troubling this Princess Ren.
Putting yourself in his shoes, if He Yunxiao had to "marry" a man, he wouldn't just be heartbroken, he'd practically want to die. He'd simply find the tallest building in all of Yinjing and perform his acrobatic "flying man" act for everyone.
He Yunxiao walked to Princess Ren's bedside and transmitted his voice to her, "Your Highness, I can cure your heart ailment. Meet me at Tingfeng Tower tomorrow at 1:00 PM."
The curtains of Princess Ren's bed fluttered, and a weak female voice came from inside: "Zigui, help me up."
The palace maid responded and went to help him up, and then a cold and aloof face appeared in He Yunxiao's field of vision.
This young lady from the Ren family was indeed a beauty, but He Yunxiao could tell from her appearance alone that she wasn't the female lead. She was pretty, but not to that extent. A check of the system confirmed it.
Name: Ren Qianqian
Favorability: 40
Hint: Not the female lead, but available for romance.
Princess Ren leaned against a palace maid and said weakly, "What did you say?"
He Yunxiao simply said, "I've already met with the Emperor of Yan. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. Old Bai, return the token to Her Highness the Princess. She's leaving the palace tomorrow."
The Imperial Physician Bai didn't care what He Yunxiao called him. He walked up to He Yunxiao and said in a low voice with difficulty, "Entering and leaving the palace requires a token."
He Yunxiao understood what he meant, "You give it back to her first, I still have some here."
“Look.” He Yunxiao took out the Golden Feather Token.
Doctor Bai was dumbfounded.
"Sorry, you took the wrong one. This is the right one."
He Yunxiao put the Golden Feather Token back and then took out the Golden Feather Token that the Yan Emperor had given him.
The Imperial Physician Bai, having lived for fifty or sixty years, had never witnessed such a scene. He had originally intended to use his seniority to educate the young "Zhang Lingshan" and warn him to stop running around the palace to avoid causing trouble. Little did he expect that the young man was not "Zhang Lingshan" but himself.
Deeply affected, Imperial Physician Bai silently handed the Ren family's token to Ren Qianqian, and remained silent until he left the palace.
After parting ways with Physician Bai, He Yunxiao, with great experience, led Chu Chu and Rou'er around Jingtian City to make sure no one was following them before taking a detour back to Minister Qian's residence.
After coaxing Xiaoxiao and Rou'er to sleep, He Yunxiao went to discuss with Minister Qian the matter of rescuing Sister Jiang's parents. They chatted until the morning court session before he was finally allowed to leave.
Seeing Minister Qian sitting in the carriage, dozing off, He Yunxiao doubted whether he could keep his job in the court.
Given his identity as a spy for the State of Qi, losing his job might have been a better option for him.
