This feeling made it impossible for her to be cruel.

After hesitating for an unknown amount of time, she sighed and said in a deep voice, "Announce the Imperial Physician Li Mu."

"Yes, Your Majesty..." The old eunuch agreed and was about to go find someone.

At this moment, a young eunuch's voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Your Majesty, Ren Hao, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, wants to see Your Majesty."

Hearing this name, Wen Yan's delicate body couldn't help but tremble. Her jade hands suddenly clenched into fists, and the expression on her face changed.

"Let him in!" Wen Yan said, her words revealing a sense of urgency that even she herself did not notice.

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment and then hurried out.

Ren Hao stood in front of the palace gate with his arms folded. When he saw the old eunuch coming out, a smile appeared on his face.

He didn't even go home, he was in a hurry to come here to report. After finishing the job, he could take his wife to Qiantang County to enjoy a peaceful life.

When he was in Caixu Village before, there were no conditions or opportunities for construction. He spent a lot of time and effort to build Qiantang County, not only to help the little emperor. The most important reason was that Ren Hao saw Qiantang County as a prosperous place and it was most suitable for lying down.

Although he was not wealthy, he was quite content to run a small business in Qiantang County.

Every time he thought about the peaceful and happy life in the future, he would laugh out loud.

So he did not slack off in building Qiantang County, and it only took half a year.

This time I came back just to wait for the handover.

"Sir Ren, the emperor has ordered you to see the emperor." The old eunuch said in a shrill voice.

Ren Hao nodded, followed the old eunuch, and slowly walked into the palace under the supervision of the guards.

It was still the same route as last time. After walking for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the Linde Hall again.

It is troublesome to see the emperor. When you arrive at the palace gate, you still have to wait.

The old eunuch went in to pass on the message. Not long after, the old eunuch's voice was heard from inside: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Ministry of Revenue Doctor Ren Hao come to the audience!"

Ren Hao stretched his neck, walked into the hall, and was about to bow, but he saw an airtight curtain hanging in front of him, covering the view tightly.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Ren Hao asked in some surprise.

Why does this pretty boy look like a woman?

After hearing Ren Hao's words, there was silence for a moment, and then a slightly feminine voice sounded: "I have a cold, so it is inconvenient for me to meet you. Please forgive me, my dear."

"Oh." Ren Hao didn't think much about it. After all, it was none of his business.

He took out a stack of thick papers from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, the matter in Qiantang County has been settled. The details are all here."

The old eunuch came out, took the thick paper and went inside.

Then there was a sound like turning pages of a book.

It was not until the sound stopped after a while that Ren Hao asked, "Is Your Majesty satisfied?"

"Man..." A word was heard from behind the curtain, and then it suddenly stopped.

Ren Hao frowned immediately. He was still not satisfied after all this? This little emperor was quite greedy.

After a while, the emperor's feminine voice sounded from inside: "My dear minister, you have done a good job. I am very satisfied. You must be rewarded for your meritorious service. I hereby decree that you promote Hao to the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a third-rank official, and reward him with a fine mansion as an encouragement."

Ren Hao was stunned and said quickly: "Your Majesty, didn't we agree before that I would help you finish the task and you would not make things difficult for me?"

"Does Your Majesty intend to break his promise?"

Ren Hao felt a little uncomfortable. This dog emperor was really a dog. With just a broken yard and an official position, he wanted to tie him up and make him his dog.

Being a praying man for others every day is not the life he wants.

"You don't even want to be a third-rank official, what do you want to do?" The emperor's voice became slightly heavy.

"You are capable, and I would like to make you the minister, but you are not qualified enough, and I am afraid you will not be able to convince the public. But don't worry, as long as you are loyal and willing to work hard, I promise you that within ten years, I will help you become the minister of six ministries."

Ren Hao immediately curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I don't want to be a minister either. I just want to be an idle person. Please let me go."

"You..." The emperor's voice suddenly became a little angry: "Don't you want to stay even if I ask you to?"

Ren Hao bowed slightly and said calmly: "I heard that wise rulers in ancient times would not force their subjects. Even if Your Majesty wants me to stay, I will not be happy. It is better to let me go."

"Are you so disappointed with the court? Is there nothing good about me?" the emperor asked angrily.

Ren Hao spread his hands helplessly: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Hmph! Ren Hao, don't think that I don't know. You have cursed me many times in private. Do you think I am a deaf person who knows nothing?" the emperor said angrily.

Ren Hao raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of Wen Yan. He felt a little disgusted. This woman Wen Yan was really unreliable. Not only did she leak his information, but she also told the emperor everything she had complained about the emperor.

"Your Majesty, did you hear it from Wen Yan?" Ren Hao asked.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "So what?"

"Not so good!" Ren Hao said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty trusts Wen Yan so much, so she must be someone close to your Majesty? I wonder who she is to your Majesty?"

Ren Hao asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Wen Yan's identity is so mysterious that even Xu Qing's father keeps silent about Wen Yan's identity. This has made Ren Hao curious for a long time.

Hearing Ren Hao's question, the emperor was silent for a moment, then asked: "If I tell you, will you be willing to stay in the capital?"

Ren Hao frowned, and after a moment he said, "I can stay in the capital, but I don't want to be an official. Of course, if His Majesty has something to do, I can also consider helping."

Ren Hao did not say anything definite. After all, he was living under the feet of the emperor and on someone else's small piece of land. If he refused again and again, he might anger this pretty boy and he might kill him or take his wife away in a rage. Then he would be in trouble.

The emperor seemed relieved: "Okay, I promise you, since you want to know, I will tell you, Wen Yan is my sister."

"Your sister?" Ren Hao was stunned. He clearly remembered Xu Qing saying that the emperor had no sister at all.

As if seeing Ren Hao's doubt, the emperor said again: "Wen Yan is not my biological sister, but the daughter of a guard who once sacrificed his life to protect the late emperor. In order to repay him, the late emperor raised her as a princess, so she is my sister."

"Okay." Ren Hao smiled bitterly. It seemed that Wen Yan's background was indeed extraordinary and she had the emperor's support. No wonder Xu Tiande didn't dare to say it. It turned out that she had the emperor's support.

After understanding Wen Yan's identity, Ren Hao no longer had any thoughts of questioning Wen Yan. After all, his relationship with Wen Yan was not as good as the relationship between Wen Yan and the emperor. He just thought that he was just being mean.

"In that case, I will take my leave." Ren Hao bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" The emperor suddenly called out to Ren Hao and asked, "My dear Ren, what do you think of my sister?"
