A middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe, who looked like Pomelo Xiang, walked in. A group of eunuchs and attendants followed behind him.
Pomelo Fragrance had already tied up her wet long hair and changed into a light gauze dress, revealing her beautiful and graceful figure. She walked lightly and bowed to the Emperor."Long live Father."
"Yes." The Emperor snorted in response. Then, he walked straight to a chair in the room and sat down. He said,"Are you ready?"
Mi Youxiang's delicate body trembled and she lowered her head. She said in a low voice,""Replying to Imperial Father, I will eat vegetarian food for three days, bathe and change my clothes.”
"Yes." The Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction." You're quite well-behaved. You know how to sacrifice yourself for the country's righteousness. You're much better than your sisters. You save me from being annoyed."”
" Thank…Thank you for your praise, Father…"
The Emperor waved his hand and smiled.""There are still four hours before the sacrifice. At noon, you will follow the eunuchs outside the door to the main entrance of the palace. Welcome the birth of a new prince!"
Mi Youxiang slowly raised her head and looked at her father's smiling face. She did not feel any fatherly love, only a devilish malevolence.
"Yes…your son will accept your orders…"
The obedience of the honey pomelo fragrance made the emperor smile even happier. The other princesses waiting to be sacrificed were not so obedient. He bent down slightly and asked,""By the way, what's your name again?”
Pomelo Fragrance quickly lowered her head to hide the sadness in her eyes and said faintly,""Imperial Father, your son's name is Pomelo Fragrance.”
"Honey pomelo fragrance? What kind of name is that?" The Emperor was very puzzled.
"…" Pomelo lowered her head even further."I heard from Nanny that when I was born, the honey pomelo flowers outside the house just happened to bloom. Father, you smelled it and liked it, so you named me the honey pomelo fragrance.”
" Oh..." The Emperor suddenly understood and nodded."It's been too long, my memory isn't very clear.”
" Father is busy with the affairs of the country every day. How could he remember such a trivial matter..." Mi Youxiang raised her head with an indifferent expression.
Perhaps sensing the sarcasm in her words, the Emperor's expression immediately turned cold. He stood up and turned to leave."Hmph, honey pomelo tastes sour. How can it be fragrant?!”
When Honey Pomelo Fragrance heard this, there was only sorrow in her eyes.
"Clang!"
"Hualala…"
Just as the Emperor was about to step out of the door, a commotion suddenly came from the inner room of the Jade Palace.
The Emperor retracted his foot and turned his head. His gaze was sharp as he looked at the wooden door of the inner room. He said coldly,""Who's inside?"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Hearing this, the surrounding attendants immediately took out the weapons in their hands and surrounded the emperor to protect him.
Pomelo Fragrance panicked and waved her hands repeatedly."Father…Father, the servants are all outside the courtyard.”
Staring at the panic-stricken Pomelo Fragrance, the Emperor was expressionless for a long time before he pointed at the inner room and said,""Gu Er, go inside and take a look."
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty!"
A sturdy eunuch bowed respectfully to the emperor before his figure flashed. He rushed to the door of the inner room with a speed that wasn't inferior to Qin Mu's and kicked the door open!
In the inner room was a large wooden bucket filled with water.
One of the wooden buckets was broken from the middle.
The pomelo petals mixed with water gushed out from the damaged area and flowed all over the ground.
The sturdy eunuch unsheathed the long saber hanging from his waist and walked to the bucket. He peeked inside the bucket and briefly checked the surroundings before walking back to the main room and kowtowing to the Emperor,""Your Majesty, it's the sound of the bathtub decaying and breaking after it was filled with water. There's no one else.”
The Emperor raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the pale Pomelo Fragrance and her wet hair. After a moment of silence, he turned around and left.
The attendants and eunuchs present all withdrew their weapons and lined up to leave with the Emperor.
After everyone had left, only Pomelo Fragrance was left in the Jade Palace. She quickly walked forward, closed the door, and ran into the inner room, looking around.
"Raise your head."
A voice came from above.
Pomelo Fragrance immediately raised her head to take a look and saw Qin Mu lying leisurely in the shadow of the roof beam.
"You scared me to death! Why did you make such a commotion just now?!”
Qin Mu nimbly jumped down from the three-meter high beam and shook off the dust on his body."I didn't move at all. The bathtub rotted on its own. You're such a lousy princess.”
Pomelo Fragrance lowered her head and looked at the pomelo petals scattered all over the ground, remaining silent.
Qin Mu bent down and picked up a petal. He brought it to his nose and sniffed it. He passed it to the honey pomelo and said,""I smelled it. It's not sour, it's fragrant.”
Raising her head, Honey Pomelo Fragrance received the petals from Qin Mu in a daze. She felt her vision becoming more and more blurry.
Qin Mu took a step back and glanced at the teary Pomelo Fragrance before turning around and walking out of the inner room.
He sympathized with Pomelo Fragrance.
But he had no energy and was unwilling to help.
He was just a corpse collector who came here to collect corpses.
When he walked to the front door of Green Jade Palace, Qin Mu was just about to open the door a crack to observe the situation outside when the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Princess, it's almost noon. Please prepare…Hmm? Who are you?"
A eunuch shouted as he walked in with large strides. When he saw Qin Mu behind the door, he was stunned.
