"Brother Mu, the emperor might not listen to you. If miss returns, won't the emperor punish you for making a false report?”Lian 'er said worriedly.
"Sister Lian, don't worry. It's good that Miss Wenren has returned. The emperor will investigate the crime of passing on the imperial edict. If Miss Wenren hasn't returned, the emperor will investigate!”Eunuch Mu said solemnly.
"Then we'll go back first. I'll have to trouble brother Mu with the emperor.”Lian 'er said as she pulled Ye' er and walked quickly.
Chaoyang Palace.
Ling Xiaoyi sat in front of the bed and read the memorial. She was leaving tomorrow, so what reason should he use to keep her?
Eunuch Mu approached Ling Xiaoyi and lowered his head,""Emperor, the preparations are almost complete. In two hours, the emperor can move to the Compassionate Peace Hall.”
"Eunuch Mu, have you gone to invite the Empress Dowager?”Ling Xiaoyi asked.
"This servant has already gone to Fushou Palace. The Empress Dowager's phoenix body is not well and said that it is inconvenient for her to come. She also asked the emperor to visit Fushou Palace more often.”Eunuch Mu replied.
"Got it." Ling Xiaoyi frowned. He had not paid his respects to his mother for several days. He would definitely go tomorrow.
After saying that, Ling Xiaoyi lowered his head and continued to read through the memorials. This made Eunuch Mu extremely anxious.
An hour later.
"Emperor, forgive this servant's boldness, but I have something to report!”Eunuch Mu made up his mind and knelt down.
"What is it?" Ling Xiaoyi raised his head.
"Your Majesty, this servant has a fellow countryman who is a maid in Chuxiu Palace. She serves Miss Wenren. Not long ago, she told this servant that at noon, two maids had passed on the emperor's edict to invite Miss Wenren to come, but they have not returned yet.”Eunuch Mu replied.
Ling Xiaoyi was furious. He stood up and slammed the table."How dare you! Who dares to pass on my imperial edict? He simply had no respect for the law! Bring the two maids who served Wenren Mei here. I have something to ask!”
"Yes, as you wish." Shocked, Eunuch Mu hurried to Chuxiu Palace. Would the Emperor make things difficult for Sister Lian?
After a long time, Lian 'er and Ye' er hurried to Chaoyang Palace.
"This servant kowtows to the emperor!" The two of them bowed in fear.
"Speak! Who took Miss Wenren away?" Ling Xiaoyi said angrily.
"Your Majesty, at noon, two palace maids said that they were ordered by Your Majesty to let Miss go…"
"Bastard! When did Zhen issue a decree?" Ling Xiaoyi shouted," Has she returned to Chuxiu Palace?”
"No…Miss hasn't returned yet.”Lian 'er and Ye' er were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and they answered in fear.
"How did you serve Miss? Men, drag him down and punish him with twenty sticks!" Ling Xiaoyi said angrily.
"Emperor, please forgive me!" Eunuch Mu begged," Your Majesty, finding Miss Wenren is more important now. Let them atone for their crimes and punish them when we find Miss Wenren."”
"Alright, this one will let you off first. Do you know the palace maid who passed the fake imperial edict?”Ling Xiaoyi suppressed his anger and asked.
" Your Majesty, this servant remembered that one of the palace maids was…was…" Ye 'er stuttered.
"Speak!" Ling Xiaoyi shouted anxiously.
" It's the one beside Lady Jade..." Ye 'er answered nervously.
Lady Jade! Damn Lady Jade!
"Mount the Jade Night Hall!" Ling Xiaoyi strode over.
Jade Night Hall.
"Sister Jade Consort, it's about time to go to the Compassionate Peace Palace.”Wan Ruyi reminded.
"Younger Sister has been conferred the title of Shunyi today. Her future is boundless. Don't forget about big sister in the future." Lady Jade smiled.
"Younger Sister wouldn't dare. It's all thanks to Elder Sister that Feng Shunyi was able to be sealed today, Younger Sister will definitely repay you in the future.”Wan Ruyi said.
"Hehe, I like obedient concubines like you.”Lady Jade said in satisfaction.
"Tonight, the emperor invited all the officials. Sister's dress really has the demeanor of a country's mother.”Wan Ruyi said fawningly.
"Oh? Hehe, sister, don't talk nonsense. If the emperor knew about this, wouldn't he punish me for the crime of coveting the back seat?”Lady Jade smiled, but she was feeling very pleased with herself.
"Younger Sister is speaking the truth. In the Inner Palace, only Elder Sister and Consort Xian have the highest status. Consort Xian has no talent and no virtue. She is just a flower vase. Only Elder Sister can be the Empress!”Wan Ruyi tried to curry favor with him.
"Ke ke, if the emperor favors little sister, I hope little sister can put in a few good words for big sister in front of the emperor. In the future when big sister becomes the empress, she will definitely not forget little sister.”
"Younger Sister will know." Humph! You Jade Consort, how dare you hit the throne of the Empress! I am the one who is destined to be the Empress!
Ling Xiaoyi quickly rushed to the Jade Night Hall, hoping that nothing would happen to her. Otherwise, he would hate himself to death!
It hurts, who can untie me! I thought bitterly. How many hours had it been? Why isn't anyone here yet! Where did Jade Consort Wan Ruyi and the others go?
Ling Xiaoyi walked quickly. At this moment, he wished he could fly. He did not know how Lady Jade had treated her!
Ci 'an Palace.
The concubines in the harem were dressed gorgeously and sat at their tables to exchange pleasantries. The officials also sat at their tables to discuss which minister's daughter had been conferred a title and congratulate her.
"Why isn't the emperor here yet?"
"Yes, yes, all the officials are here. Where did the emperor go? Even the Empress Dowager did not show her face." The officials in Ci An Palace were discussing. Tonight was the Emperor's banquet, so why was the Emperor not here yet?
"The imperial edict has arrived! All officials, receive the decree!" Eunuch Mu said as he held the imperial edict in his hand.
"Long live our emperor!"
" By the will of the heavens, the Emperor issued an edict saying: I am unwell and it is inconvenient for me to come today. All the beloved ministers will return to the residence first. I will feast the officials again in three days. Respect this!"
"We obey your orders!" The officials began to discuss again.
"Eunuch Mu, is the emperor's dragon body alright?”Grand Tutor Wen asked.
"Grand Tutor Wen, don't worry. The Emperor has a cold and will be fine after recuperating for a few days.”Eunuch Mu replied. Then, he turned around and said to the officials,"Please return, my lords!"”
Wan Ruyi felt that something was wrong. The emperor was still fine today, how could he be sick just like that? So she quickly walked to Lady Jade.
"Sister Jade Consort, what's going on? The emperor was still fine in the morning? Why don't we go to Chaoyang Palace to see the Emperor?”Wan Ruyi asked.
"Have you forgotten that Wenren Mei is going to be punished tonight?”Lady Jade replied softly.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Follow me back to the palace!" Lady Jade turned and left.
Jade Night Hall.
Ling Xiaoyi walked into the Jade Night Hall. The maids and eunuchs watched in panic as the Emperor walked in with a large group of people.
"This servant (just) kowtows to the Emperor!" All the eunuchs and maids knelt on the ground.
"How dare you! Hand Wenren Mei over!”Ling Xiaoyi roared.
" This servant doesn't know what the Emperor said…" A maid answered.
"Presumptuous! Don't you want your dog lives anymore?”Ling Xiaoyi smashed a teacup and said,"Men, search this Jade Night Palace carefully!"”
"Yes, sir!"
What was that sound? It sounded like that kid's voice. He's here? Save me! I was in a hurry to seize the opportunity to save my life, but I overturned the chair and fell to the ground. It hurt!
"Pa!" The door was pushed open and I looked over. It was the guards! They quickly walked forward to untie me and removed the cloth from my mouth.
When Ling Xiaoyi heard the guard's report, he rushed to the side hall. When he saw her being untied from the chair, he was furious! Lady Jade! I won't let you off!
