Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

"Xie Xuan...you..."

Yun Chuwei looked at those picturesque eyes that were so familiar, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Didn’t she send this person away?

Why is this person here?

"Weiwei!" Xie Xuan called Yun Chuwei, then buried his head deeply in her shoulders, desperately breathing in the breath of Yun Chuwei's body.

"Xie Xuan..." Yun Chu paused for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Didn't I ask you to go find my master? Why did you come back again?"

Not only did she ask Xie Xuan to find his master, she also asked her own master to trap Xie Xuan and prevent him from coming back for the time being.

Why did this person come back?

Xie Xuan loosened his grip on Yun Chuwei a little, let her sit on his lap, raised his head, looked at Yun Chuwei with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Yun Chuwei suddenly felt that Xie Xuan must have noticed something, which was why he came back in a hurry.

She reached out her hand, gently stroked Xie Xuan's cheek, and said with a smile: "Why do you look so aggrieved? I didn't bully you!"

"You have!" Xie Xuan said, holding the back of her head and kissing her lips.

His kiss was so forceful, as if to crush, destroy, and plunder.

Yun Chuwei indulged him and went along with him without resisting.

After a long time, Xie Xuan left Yun Chuwei's lips.

He put his hands on Yun Chuwei's waist, rested his head on Yun Chuwei's shoulder, and murmured: "Weiwei, I miss you, I miss you so much, please don't let me leave, okay? No matter what happens, I will face it with you, okay?"

Yun Chuwei put his hand on his head, rubbed it, and said, "Okay!"

Xie Xuan was delighted, and he moved his lips closer to Yun Chuwei's neck and kissed it gently.

The kiss moved downward, invading more territory.

Yun Chuwei stretched out her hand and pushed his head away a little: "Stop it, I still have to go see His Majesty!"

"But Chuchu, I miss you so much!" Xie Xuan whispered.

Yun Chuwei rubbed his head again: "Just stay quiet. If you mess up my clothes, it will delay my meeting with His Majesty."

Xie Xuan stopped talking and just hugged Yun Chuwei quietly.

Yun Chuwei thought of something and asked, "How did you come back?"

"Disguised and returned to Beijing secretly!" said Xie Xuan.

Yun Chu nodded slightly: "Then be careful not to let His Majesty see you."

As long as Your Majesty doesn't know that Xie Xuan has returned, then Xie Xuan has nothing to do with the affairs in the capital.

Xie Xuan agreed in a low voice: "Okay!"

-

The Hot Spring Palace is located east of the capital.

The entire route was an official road, and because the emperor was traveling, there were troops guarding both sides of the road.

The carriage had the token of the Marquis' Mansion hung on it, so it had an unimpeded journey and soon reached its destination.

Yun Chuwei asked Xie Xuan to hide and went to see the emperor herself.

There are special halls for discussing Taoism and alchemy rooms in the palace.

When Yun Chuwei met Emperor Tianqi, he was in the Taoist Hall, eating the pills presented to him by the Taoist priest.

Yun Chuwei didn't dare to disturb Emperor Tianqi. After bowing quietly, she sat down on the cushion beside her.

She recognized the person sitting next to her; it was Lin Ji.

Both of them sat quietly, neither speaking nor making eye contact.

Emperor Tianqi sat in silence for about two quarters of an hour before he spoke: "Lin Ji, please go out and wait for a moment. I have something to say to Yun Chuwei!"

After hearing this, Lin Ji immediately agreed and walked out.

Emperor Tianqi then looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "Did you guess what I wanted to do from the beginning?"

Yun Chuwei replied respectfully: "I dare not speculate on the emperor's will. However, Master said that everything should be based on the emperor's will. I am terrified!"

Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed: "If your old man knew that you used him as a shield, he would probably be so angry that he would jump up and down!"

"Master also knows how to puff out his beard and glare!" Yun Chuwei said.

Emperor Tianqi's smile gradually widened, and then subsided.

He said, "I haven't seen my senior brother for a long time. He always doesn't want to come and see me!"

When Yun Chuwei saw that Emperor Tianqi claimed that he had changed, he just lowered his head and did not reply.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Tianqi said, "Do you want to protect Xie Xuan?"

Yun Chuwei said truthfully: "Yes!"

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "You should know now that I never intended to touch Xie Xuan from the beginning. Since I have granted you the marriage, I will not touch you. Your master thinks that I care too much about the world's evaluation. What do you think?"

Yun Chuwei said respectfully and seriously: "Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy. You have conquered all directions and expanded the territory, making the territory of Great Chu unprecedentedly expanded and powerful. Since you have to conquer all directions, it is inevitable to consume the people's strength. If Your Majesty can recuperate, benefit the people, and stabilize the government, you will be an emperor of all ages!"

Yun Chuwei's words were spoken sincerely.

After spending a lot of money and effort to expand the territory, you can be called a heroic leader after you succeed.

A person who succeeds and then fails, causing the downfall or even destruction of a dynasty, is called a tyrant.

Only by successfully expanding the territory and stabilizing the people's livelihood can one be called an emperor of all ages.

Emperor Tianqi has now completed the first half, and only the second half remains.

From the perspective of the previous life, Emperor Tianqi was indeed accomplished.

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi's eyes brightened.

He felt that compared to his senior brother, this girl understood what he wanted better.

He expanded territory and conquered the world in order to become an emperor of all ages, rather than a tyrant like the reckless man of the previous dynasty who died in the second generation.

"Do you think I can succeed?" asked Emperor Tianqi.

Yun Chuwei replied respectfully: "I think Your Majesty can definitely do it. Now Your Majesty just lacks an opportunity! I am willing to serve you."

A reason to turn from conquering all directions to practicing benevolent governance.

The reason cannot be that the people’s strength is declining and the world is in chaos, because this is caused by the wars fought in all directions. If this is the reason, then it denies the wars fought in all directions.

Therefore, Emperor Tianqi randomly chose one of his two adult princes, the Crown Prince and Xie Xuan, as an excuse.

Emperor Tianqi thought for a moment and said, "You go with Lin Ji. Remember, just watch from the sidelines. If he does anything wrong, remind him. Also, protect Cui Yuetuan and the baby in her belly!"

Yun Chuwei nodded in agreement.

She suddenly understood why Emperor Tianqi wanted to find a princess who was destined to have a child.

After all, he feels guilty towards the prince, right?

Does he still want to return the throne to the prince's lineage?

However, what happens next will probably disappoint Emperor Tianqi.

-

Yun Chuwei came out of the hall and saw Sun Jiasheng going to call Lin Ji.

Lin Ji came out of the hall and looked at Yun Chuwei with a complicated expression.

Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "Master Lin, do you have anything to say?"

"Not at all!" Lin Ji said, "Miss, please come back to Beijing with me. I will inform you of the follow-up matters in advance!"

After hearing this, Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "Okay!"

Yun Chuwei returned to her carriage and left Qingquan Palace with Lin Ji's team.

As soon as the team left Qingquan Palace, the gate of Qingquan Palace was closed.

The number of guards inside and outside Qingquan Palace has been increased by several layers. What was originally an ordinary palace now looks like a war fortress.

Yun Chuwei lifted the curtain and took a look at the palace, then let out an almost inaudible sigh.

Perhaps, for a long time to come, no one will be able to see the emperor inside.
