The next morning.
The sky had just brightened when Eunuch Chen Hong arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity with a face full of fatigue.
Everything that happened last night was still vivid in his mind. Chen Hong had only slept for two hours before he sat up helplessly in bed. With two panda eyes, he was ready to help Zhu Yuanzhang get up and wash up. He would attend the morning court session later.
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty…"
Chen Hong stood outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity and called out carefully. He was feeling uneasy. After all, it was already 11 o'clock when he returned to the palace last night. His Emperor had probably only slept for two hours just like him.
Under such circumstances, Chen Hong had to wake Zhu Yuanzhang up. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely vent his anger on him if he was late for morning court.
However, the worst thing was that if he made such a noise and angered the Saint, he would still be in trouble!
Thinking of this, Chen Hong's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He was even prepared to lose his old life to Zhu Rong.
However, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from the Palace of Heavenly Purity,"
"Is it Chen Hong? Come in."
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Hong's eyes lit up, and his heart instantly relaxed. He hurriedly pushed open the door of the Palace of Heavenly Purity with a creak.
Then…Then, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the dragon throne, yawning repeatedly with two panda eyes.
"Aha ~"
"This…"
Chen Hong was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang worriedly.
"Did Your Majesty not sleep last night?"
"How can I sleep?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said tiredly,
"It's not like you don't know the good things that unfilial son has caused. It would be strange if we could sleep!”
Chen Hong frowned and said in confusion,"
"But His Highness the King of Qin has already settled the matter last night, and His Highness the Crown Prince has also been found. Your Majesty, you don't have to…Eh?”
At this point, Chen Hong inadvertently glanced at it from the corner of his eye and noticed a thick book on the Dragon Book table.
"Isn't this 'Journey to the West' written by His Highness the King of Qin? Your Majesty, could it be that last night…"
With a click, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly reached out and closed Journey to the West. His face turned red and he glared at Chen Hong fiercely.
"What? What are you trying to say?"
Chen Hong's body trembled and he hurriedly shook his head."
"It's nothing, this old servant didn't want to say anything.”
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly as he looked at the Journey to the West on the Dragon's desk. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, but he shook his head repeatedly.
"What lousy book? It wasn't nice at all. I watched it once last night, and I couldn't bear to watch it anymore. I really don't know what Boss is thinking.”
"You keep saying that this book is good, but is this book good?”
Chen Hong curled his lips and forced a smile."
"Since Your Majesty says it's not good, then this book must not be good.”
"That's right, that's what we mean.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded quickly, then narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Hong.
"This book is very ugly. I haven't read it before, do you understand?”
"Understood, understood, understood!"
Chen Hong nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This old servant didn't see anything just now and won't say anything.”
"Yes, very good."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Hong with a gratified expression. He immediately stood up and reached out to pick up Journey to the West from the dragon desk. He silently stuffed it under the cushion of the dragon chair and then turned around.
Chen Hong quickly closed his eyes and turned his back to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth curled up. He looked at the Journey to the West under the cushion of the dragon chair reluctantly, then stood with his hands behind his back and said,
"Let's go to court."
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Hong nodded his head solemnly, then whispered,"
"Your Majesty, can this old servant open my eyes?”
"Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Chen Hong's shoulder and walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Whoosh!"
Chen Hong opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back and shook his head, trying to forget everything that had just happened. However, he couldn't forget it and could only sigh in his heart.
Alas, being an official was difficult, and being a eunuch was even more difficult, especially being a eunuch who knew the Emperor's little secret.
The pressure was so great. It was all His Highness the King of Qin's fault!
With a stomach full of grievances, Chen Hong silently followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang and headed towards the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
As soon as the two of them left the Palace of Heavenly Purity, a figure gently pushed open the door of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and slipped in.
"Haha…"
He was wearing a Five-clawed Golden Dragon Robe. It was Zhu Biao.
With a smile on his face and two eye-catching panda eyes, Zhu Biao quickly came to the side of the dragon chair. He bent down and took out Journey to the West from under the cushion. His tears couldn't help but moisten.
"Baby, I finally got you again!”
Zhu Biao held Journey to the West in his arms, his face as gentle as water. He then carefully looked around to make sure that there was no one around. He immediately hid the book in his arms, turned around, and ran out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
