Upon hearing the Empress's exclamation, a squad of Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward to receive her orders.
But before the Empress Dowager could speak, Ji Fengyao waved her small hand calmly and said, "Go and check the Empress Dowager's room thoroughly. Be sure to search carefully. If any oversight affects the Empress Dowager's reputation in her later years, I will hold you accountable!"
"Yes, Your Highness," Hu Ji and the others replied.
Empress Dowager: "..."
Before they could even utter a word of protest, Hu Ji and the others had vanished.
The terrible impact this cat has had on his reputation in his later years!
If this group of men were to go in and rummage through her clothes, that would truly ruin her reputation!
Those two damned bandits!
"What could possibly be in my room? Quickly! Stop them!" The Empress Dowager was furious. She had originally been so angry that she wanted the Imperial Guards to drag Xique away and punish him, but now she couldn't care less and quickly changed her mind and told them to stop the people.
Although these Imperial Guards were all skilled soldiers, how could they possibly be a match for the Dark Guards who had undergone medicinal baths and body tempering?
Hu Ji also possessed extraordinary skills.
The Imperial Guards had barely reached the entrance of the Empress Dowager's meditation room when Hu Ji and his men came out carrying a large tray of food.
The plate contained men's sweaty handkerchiefs, smelly socks, and even tattered floral shorts—everything imaginable, many of which still retained a fresh warmth and lingering scent.
The Imperial Guards were stunned and dumbfounded.
Yeah, you're such a doggy...
Could it be that the Empress Dowager was so furious that she ordered them to stop people just for this reason?
Could it be that the Empress Dowager really came to Jin'an Temple to secretly meet with a man outside the palace?
Hu Ji carried the large plate of things and walked briskly out of the temple.
The guards following behind him blushed slightly, staring at the pair of shorts they had just changed out of on the tray, their expressions indescribable.
Of course, those floral print shorts definitely didn't belong to them.
Several guards' eyes fell on Hu Ji, who was walking with a rather smug gait.
Unexpectedly, Hu Ji, who is usually so taciturn, is actually so flashy inside. They really learned something new today!
Hu Ji arrived outside the temple and called out from a distance, "Your Highness, you were truly prescient! You really did find quite a few things. It seems that the male guest who stayed in the Empress Dowager's room earlier hasn't gone far. When we went to look for them, these clothes were still warm."
Ji Fengyao looked up and saw the floral-patterned shorts on top of the pile. She stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Oh ho!
Who would have thought that all these young men under the prince's command were secretly passionate!
She's wearing such brightly colored shorts!
The old women from the two ancestral halls were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Having never been with a man in their lives, they blushed and were speechless.
The Empress Dowager was utterly shocked, screaming repeatedly, "This...this...this is impossible! This is impossible! Xuanci, what's going on!"
Alright, let's skip the formal address of "high monk" and just use his name.
Xuan Ci was in pain and shocked, looking completely bewildered. He looked at Hui En and said, "Junior Brother Hui En, you are the abbot. You personally ordered the cleaning and sweeping of the Empress Dowager's and Princess Chonghe's meditation rooms. What exactly is going on with these things?!"
"I...I don't know. No one had lived in those two courtyards before. I personally checked them after they finished cleaning, and there were no mistakes." Hui En looked desperate, in pain and fear, and was almost crying.
"So you mean this thing was framed for you by our princess?" Hu Ji approached Hui En menacingly and shouted angrily.
