In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the glazed tiles of the various palaces in Zhujin City, reflecting waves of charming halos. The magnificent Zhujin City stood proudly in the east of the world like an ancient empire, making everyone who faced it have to maintain their reverence.
East Palace, Prince's Sleeping Hall, Changle Hall. Liu Yu was reading a book attentively. Just as Li Xingke had said, as long as Liu Yu was serious about something, she would always be the perfect Crown Prince! At this moment, his long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and his bright eyes that were like the morning stars were immersed in a radiance that made people dare not look straight at him.
At this moment, a knock on the door pulled Liu Yu out of her book. A palace maid's gentle voice sounded outside the door,"Your Highness, it's time for dinner. This servant invites Your Highness to move to the Jiaofang Palace to have a meal with the Empress!”
Liu Yu stood up and stretched her back. She stretched her sore neck and replied,"Got it. I'll prepare it now." Liu Yu closed the book and looked at the three big words on the cover of the book. A thought-provoking smile appeared on her lips.
The palace maids and guards were already waiting outside the palace. Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, the eunuchs in Weiyang Palace and the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace had gradually been replaced. By now, most of the eunuchs in Zhujin City had gathered in the Ming and Jianzhang Palaces. When Liu Yu got on the streetcar to Jiaofang Palace, she asked the palace maid in emerald palace clothes beside her,""Oh right, is Imperial Father coming to eat with us today?”
"Your Highness, the Emperor and the Empress are already waiting for you at the Jiaofang Palace," the palace maid replied respectfully.”
"Then hurry up! Don't let Imperial Father and Imperial Mother wait anxiously."
"Yes!"
As night gradually fell, in a side hall in Jianzhang Palace. Gao Hai once again summoned the eunuch who had been in charge of contacting Li Xingke. Judging from his clothes, this eunuch called Xiao Chunzi had been promoted from a low-level slave to a middle-level managing eunuch. At this moment, he was still answering Gao Hai's question respectfully, not daring to overstep his boundaries!
"Are you saying that he can't interfere with the six generals of the Eastern Palace or the deacons of their respective departments?”Gao Hai said with a frown. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Little Chun's answer.
Little Chun Zi also felt Gao Hai's dissatisfied tone and quickly said in fear,""Yes, Chief Gao. Li Xingke told me that these positions are under the charge of the Eastern Palace's lecturer Wei Yuan and Grand Marshal Zhao Mingluo.”
"Humph! If you say so, then my 100,000 taels are just thrown into the water.”Gao Hai narrowed his eyes and stared at Little Chun Zi.
Little Chun was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, he could clearly feel the killing intent in Gao Hai's eyes. He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly said,"Chief Gao, it's not like there's no chance. Li Xingke also said that there aren't too many restrictions on the servants in the Eastern Palace. "It's just that…" Little Chun stopped here and carefully looked at Gao Hai's face.
Gao Hai saw the young eunuch stop halfway and scolded,""Just what? Hurry up and tell me!”
Little Chun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say,""That kid said that it's extremely dangerous to plant some handymen, so he asked for 5 million taels of silver from you.”
Gao Hai shouted in exasperation,""What? That brat actually dares to extort my family? Asking him for 5 million just for a small matter, did he really think that money came from nowhere?”
Xiao Chun Zi wiped his cold sweat and didn't dare to look at Gao Hai who was roaring. He could only tremble and kneel on the ground, not daring to make a sound. After a long time, Gao Hai was tired of scolding. He sat on the chair with his eyes closed and panted heavily without making a sound. The room quieted down, and only Gao Hai's panting could be heard in Little Chun's ears. Just as Little Chun Zi felt as if centuries of suffering had passed, Gao Hai's voice rang out,""Go and tell that kid, Li Xingke, that I can give him five million taels of silver, but if I delay my business, then my silver won't be so easy to take!”
Little Chun, whose knees were already numb from kneeling, quickly replied,"" Yes, this servant will tell him everything you say, I won't miss a single word…" Before Little Chun could finish, Gao Hai interrupted impatiently,""Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and get lost!”
"Yes, yes, yes. This servant will get lost now!"
Seeing the other party bow and leave the door, Gao Hai sneered,""Hehe, there really hasn't been anyone who dared to have designs on my silver in these years. Li Xingke, don't fall into my hands!”
Liu Yu, the Emperor, and the Empress returned to their chambers after dinner. However, as soon as he entered the hall, he felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be an extra person in the room. With his identity, no one dared to enter his bedroom without reporting. It seemed that the visitor had ill intentions! Liu Yu did not alert the enemy and calmly moved towards the door. As long as the Imperial Guards outside the palace came to protect the Emperor, Liu Yu had nothing to fear.
Suddenly, a crisp voice with a strange accent sounded."Ya! I didn't expect to see boy here. It's really fate!”Liu Yu, who was shocked, stared in disbelief as a foreign woman with green hair walked out from behind a screen. The woman who had barged into the Hall of Eternal Joy was Celine, whom they had met yesterday. At this moment, she was wearing a palace maid's uniform, and her eye-catching green hair was tied up with a silver hairpin.
Liu Yu looked at the young girl in front of her in a daze. She could not figure out how she had broken into the heavily guarded Zhujin City and appeared in her bedroom so openly. Could it be that all the Imperial Guards had gone for supper? Liu Yu was stunned for a moment before she immediately said happily as if she had seen her family,"Aiya! He didn't expect to see such a beautiful big sister here. This must be fate!”
"Hehehe! Boy, you really know how to talk, but I'm just worrying about where to go. Now that she saw Boy, she was relieved.”Celine smiled happily.
"Yes, yes, that's right. However, Sister, why are you here? Ordinary people can't enter.”
"I was just strolling around and came in. I originally wanted to look for Boy, but I didn't expect Boy to live in such a big place. Fortunately, I was able to meet you here." Looking at Celine's relieved expression, Liu Yu secretly pouted. Who was he lying to? You can find me here just by walking around. Do you think you're shopping on the streets? However, he could only say against his will,"That was really close! But sister, where did you get these clothes from?”
Celine looked at the clothes on her body and spun around proudly."A kind person lent this to me. How is it?”
Looking at Celine, who looked even more charming than yesterday in her palace dress, Liu Yu licked her lips and praised sincerely,"Yes, yes. Sister is even more beautiful than yesterday. She's simply more beautiful than a fairy!”Although she said that, Liu Yu was still complaining,"Who would believe you? I don't know which unlucky person you stole it from." But she was indeed beautiful!
"Haha! Boy was so sweet. He must have said that to many girls.”
"How can that be? Other than my mother, this is the first time that I've ever spoken to a woman like this!”While dealing with the other party, Liu Yu reached for the alarm. However, with a click, Liu Yu looked at the pistol in Celine's hand with cold sweat. Celine looked at Liu Yu and smiled."Ya! Boy, what do you want?"
Liu Yu's expression did not change. She took out a jade pendant from her pocket and smiled."Sister, you've misunderstood. It's just that I'm so happy to see you again! He just wanted to give her a small gift. Sister, be obedient and take back such a dangerous thing. It won't be fun if it goes off!”
"Ah, boy even prepared a gift. Sister is so touched! I'm sorry, sister, you misunderstood." Celine happily took Liu Yu's jade pendant and sat on the chair alone to play with it.
Seeing that Celine was still pointing her gun at her, Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said,"Sister, shouldn't you take back your pistol? It's very dangerous to point it at people like this.”
Celine looked at Liu Yu with a faint smile and said,"It can't be! I think it's good for both of us. Don't you think so, Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Chinese Federation?”
Liu Yu broke out in a cold sweat and forced a smile.""Sister, you're so bad. It's easy to get into trouble by talking nonsense like this.”
