Emperor Shunde was accustomed to his flattery, which had not changed over the years, and even he himself was tired of hearing it.

Waved your hand to tell him to get up.

As soon as Zhao Zheng stood up, a pretty green color rushed in from the outer hall.

The little palace maid ran after her, but obviously failed to stop her.

"Father!"

Xuanyuan Yue shouted, and when she was about to get close, Zhao Zhen quickly stopped her.

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth to speak, but when he looked up he saw the gauze wrapped around Xuanyuan Yue's forehead.

His eyes changed in an instant, and he took a step back imperceptibly. He first saluted Xuanyuan Yue, then told Xuanyuan Yue that Emperor Shunde was still changing clothes and packing, and asked her to wait outside.

Although Xuanyuan Yue didn't want to wait, she could see the back of Emperor Shunde when she stretched her head. In addition, Zhao Zhen's words were her father's intention, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous. She could only say "oh" and retreat to the outer hall to wait.

Not long after, Emperor Shunde changed his clothes and walked out from the back hall.

His eyes, which were originally smiling, suddenly froze and turned cold when he saw the girl.

"Yuer." he called.

Xuanyuan Yue, who was sitting in a chair in a daze, didn't notice it, so Aunt Li quickly reminded her: "Princess, His Majesty is calling you."

Xuanyuan Yue finally reacted and immediately stood up from her chair. When she turned around and saw Emperor Shunde, tears started to flow down her face. She ignored Aunt Li's pulling and had completely forgotten Empress Cao's instructions.

She ran to Emperor Shunde, crying and saying, "Father, you have to make the decision for your daughter."

Emperor Shunde looked at her with a somewhat cold expression, but it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. "You are about to reach the age of marriage. It is not proper for you to cry so much when something happens. If you have any grievances, please speak up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhen quickly handed over the handkerchief.

Xuanyuan Yue didn't take it. Aunt Li took out a handkerchief from behind her and handed it to her.

Xuanyuan Yue took the handkerchief and glanced at Zhao Zhen, with disgust that could not be hidden in her eyes.

Zhao Zhenquan pretended not to see it and bowed back to stand behind Emperor Shunde.

Xuanyuan Yue wiped her tears and sobbed a few times, "Father, my daughter met a wild cat today. The wild cat went crazy and actually pounced on her and scratched her face."

She didn't dare to pull Emperor Shunde's sleeve, so she could only rub her handkerchief and cry in grievance: "Father, there are many wild cats in this palace. If they catch my daughter today, they might catch someone else tomorrow, and they might even hurt you. Father, why don't you give the order to catch all the wild cats in the palace, and I can supervise this matter."

As soon as Xuanyuan Yue said this, Aunt Li behind her secretly cried out, "Oh no!" As expected, when Emperor Shunde heard this, his face darkened and he said, "What you need to do is study your lessons well. You have been doing nothing all day."

Aunt Li hurried forward to smooth things over: "The princess often studies until midnight. Yesterday in class, the teacher praised the princess for her intelligence, and this morning the Queen Mother rewarded the princess with a Ruyi."

Emperor Shunde did not react to this, but said coldly: "If you study until midnight, it means you are not serious in class. Otherwise, why would you light a lamp to study at night?"

Aunt Li shut her mouth and dared not speak anymore.

Xuanyuan Yue's eyes were filled with tears, and she muttered unconvincedly: "My daughter is obviously very serious."

"You still talk back."

"Then father just doesn't want to make the decision for his daughter. Yesterday, father said that he loved Yue'er the most, but that doesn't count today." Xuanyuan Yue turned her head and started to show a tantrum.

Aunt Li tugged at her sleeve to remind her to be more careful, but Xuanyuan Yue, who was angry, didn't care at all. She glared at her and warned her not to meddle in other people's business.

Aunt Li had no choice but to lower her head and give up.

Emperor Shunde turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Go, ask Li Chen to come see me."

Zhao Zhen responded and retreated.

Xuanyuan Yue hurriedly asked: "Father, who is Li Chen?"

Aunt Li reminded her quietly: "Li Chen is the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Xuanyuan Yue said "oh", obviously not caring.

"Okay, I'll give you an answer once I understand it clearly. Let's eat first."

Although Xuanyuan Yue was dissatisfied with the result, she also understood that she should not go too far. Moreover, she believed that Emperor Shunde loved her so much that he would not watch her suffer any injustice.

So her sad face turned from gloomy to bright, and she hugged Emperor Shunde's arm and said coquettishly: "I know that my father loves me the most."

Emperor Shunde looked at her with a smile and said helplessly: "You are the one who worries me the most."

Xuanyuan Yue chuckled and said a few nice words, which made Emperor Shunde laugh out loud.

But where Emperor Shunde couldn't see, Xuanyuan Yue's eyes were filled with viciousness.

When she caught the little beast, she would torture it. The weather was getting colder and she just needed a scarf. The little beast's fur was very nice and it would make a beautiful scarf.

Mei Susu had no idea that her fur had been coveted. She chased the two eunuchs to a messy courtyard.

After the two young eunuchs left, she jumped off the roof and walked in.

As soon as I entered the room, a foul odor mixed with the smell of blood hit my nose.

The unsuspecting Mei Susu was almost vomited by the stench and quickly held her breath.

The room was not big, with a large kang in the middle.

Mei Susu jumped onto the kang to check on the eunuch's condition, but instead of seeing the eunuch's condition, she saw a rotten, maggoty face and a pair of pus-filled eyes.

Mei Susu was almost frightened to death by this scene. When she looked up, she saw that the entire kang was covered with corpses, neatly arranged in a row, and the little eunuch was lying at the innermost position.

"vomit."

Mei Susu retched, her chest heaving, and she quickly jumped off the kang and ran out of the house.

After retching in the yard, Mei Susu turned around and looked at the house behind her. She didn't have the courage to go in a second time.

Considering that she couldn't save anyone if she went in, Mei Susu decided to go get help.

As for who to look for, it seemed that she had no one to look for except Xuanyuan Che. After all, the only little Taoist priest who could help still needed her care, and carrying a person like that might be dangerous.

I ran all the way back to Chaoyang Palace, but Xuanyuan Che had not returned yet.

As the crown prince, he was busy with affairs, and Mei Susu rarely saw Xuanyuan Che in the daytime.

She didn't know if it was Mei Susu's illusion, but even though she returned to Chaoyang Palace, she could still smell the stench in the room.

Mei Susu shook her hair in disgust, and then decided to find Zhuiyu and Zhuixue, wanting them to give her a bath.

But just as Mei Susu ran to the door of the hall, the wide door was pushed open from the outside. A cold and faint fragrance came from outside the door, and Xuanyuan Che's straight and long legs stepped into the hall.

It is really better to be lucky than to be early. How could you even encounter this?

Mei Susu quickly squatted at the door of the hall, wagging her tail obediently to greet Xuanyuan Che.

I thought Xuanyuan Che would come over and hug her, or at least touch her.

Who would have thought that Xuanyuan Che's originally gentle expression would turn cold the moment he saw her.

Mei Susu's little tail kept wagging and then stopped moving, because Xuanyuan Che's eyes were as cold as a gleam, and they looked at her as if they wanted to pierce through her, cold and terrifying.
