"Qingyue, what are you doing?!"

Just as the two guards were holding up Old Man Xu and throwing him out, Prince Rui arrived with his subordinate Wang Li.

Upon seeing the person who had been captured, his expression immediately changed. "Let go!"

As soon as Princess Qingyue saw Prince Rui, she said with a pitiful expression, "Father, why are you letting just anyone into your courtyard? This stinking beggar was in the courtyard with his clothes disheveled, it really scared me to death."

Father, really! What kind of place is the royal palace? You let beggars in! This isn't how you show respect to the virtuous and talented.

"You know this is my courtyard, so you should know that not just anyone can come in. Kneel down right now!" Prince Rui was completely exasperated.

His daughter was born late in life, and she had never met the Emperor Emeritus. In a moment of carelessness, she accidentally offended him.

"Father, are you crazy? Who is this person? How could he make a princess like me kneel down?" Princess Qingyue looked at her father in astonishment.

Is Father alright?

Prince Rui was shocked by his youngest daughter's foolishness. He knelt down with a dark face and said, "I have failed in my duty of raising her properly."

Old Xu snorted coldly, "That's really quite ill-mannered. Aren't beggars human too? Is there any need to make such a fuss? Am I a ghost? Can I scare people to death in broad daylight? Look at that undignified appearance."

Old Xu was furious. He had brought food specifically for this, but this woman was completely out of her mind. Yun was much better.

Yun Yatou never looked down on anyone, nor did she despise him for being a beggar.

"Qingyue, kneel down quickly, this is the Emperor Emeritus!" Prince Rui urged his daughter hastily.

This guy has no sense of propriety! Didn't he see he was kneeling? Where's his brain?

"Qingyue greets the Emperor Emeritus." Princess Qingyue was also dumbfounded and hurriedly knelt down.

Is this old beggar the retired emperor?

"I don't deserve it. Weren't you just about to kick me out? Why aren't you kicking me out now?" Old Xu was in a bad mood.

He has amnesia, but he's not stupid.

"I kindly brought a feast from Mingyue Tower to see you, and this is the treatment I get? I'm not coming again! I'm never coming again! Who knows, maybe one day you'll dislike me and beat me to death with sticks!"

As Old Xu was about to leave, Prince Rui panicked and, without thinking twice, quickly grabbed Old Xu's leg.

"Brother, brother, she's just a little girl who's never even met you. Please be magnanimous and don't take offense at a mere girl like her. I know you care about me, otherwise you wouldn't have come all the way to bring me this feast."

As the only surviving prince, Prince Rui may not have much else to offer, but he certainly has a thick skin. And while he may not know anything else, he definitely knows how to curry favor with powerful figures.

"Quickly, have the kitchen heat this up. I'll eat. Your Highness, you've gone to great lengths to disguise yourself like this; you must have something important to discuss. Let's talk in private." Prince Rui winked.

Few people know that the retired emperor suffered from amnesia.

He only learned about it from the Emperor not long ago.

If he hadn't given his nephew that pill, which made his nephew trust him even more, he probably would still be in the dark.

This is all to protect their youngest daughter, Qingyue. If things were to be investigated, Qingyue would be guilty of a serious crime.

Old Man Xu was pulled to the study by Prince Rui.

Princess Qingyue and her servants were still kneeling on the spot, not daring to get up.

"Your Majesty, is there something you need that you've come here specifically for?" Prince Rui asked cautiously.

"Where's that pill I sold you last time?" Old Xu didn't want to sell it to this old man anymore.

"I've already taken the medicine, Your Majesty. You've come at just the right time. Do you have any more? I need another one."

Prince Rui was also surprised to find that the Emperor Emeritus had not lied to him. He had personally witnessed the Emperor taking the medicine and seeing its remarkable effects.

This is simply a life-saving miracle drug!

"That's all? You think it's worthless donkey dung? You can have as much as you want. I told you it's priceless, and I only charged you a little. You got a huge bargain."

"I said, where's my medicine? I don't want to sell it to you anymore!"

Old Xu reached out his hand as he spoke.

Prince Rui's smile was more like a grimace. "The medicine... the medicine was given to your own son."

The key point is that after the emperor ate it, he didn't give him any reward, but instead told him the secret of the retired emperor's amnesia.

He really ended up pleasing neither side.

"What?" Old Xu jumped up and down, then thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, that kid just got lucky."

Prince Rui suddenly remembered something, "Brother, your daughter..."

Speaking of this, Old Xu got angry. "You should control your daughter. She's got eyes on the top of her head, looking down on Qi the beggar. She was still there when I was a beggar. If I hadn't been a beggar, would she have the wealth and status she has today?"

After saying that, he frowned. Wait, what does wealth and status have to do with him being a beggar?

Why did he just blurt it out?

Prince Rui broke out in a cold sweat; the Emperor Emeritus hadn't forgotten him completely.

"I'm leaving, hmph!" Old Xu said as he walked out.

Upon seeing this, Prince Rui hurriedly saw the person out himself.

Old Xu disliked him and wouldn't let him see him off, so he left through the back gate of the Prince's Mansion himself.

When Prince Rui returned, he saw his daughter still kneeling in the main courtyard.

He sighed. "Get up."

After losing his memory, the retired emperor's temper improved significantly, and he still cared about his younger brother. If it were before, he would definitely have been punished.

Princess Qingyue's legs were numb from kneeling, and she was only able to stand up with the help of her maids and servants. "Father, have I caused trouble? I really didn't know this was the Emperor Emeritus. How could the Emperor Emeritus..."

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was some old beggar.

"When the Emperor Emeritus was young, he fought in many battles and didn't care much about these things. You'd better be careful next time."

After all, the majesty of the emperor cannot be offended.

"Yes, daughter will remember this time." Princess Qingyue bowed her head.

Prince Rui looked at his spoiled daughter, whose temper seemed to have been spoiled, and said, "There will be a palace banquet next month. I will help you choose a suitable marriage then. You are not young anymore."

Upon hearing this, Princess Qingyue hurriedly said, "Father, I won't marry him. You know perfectly well who I want to marry."

"Nonsense! Who do you think you are? You can't just marry whomever you want. You're just a princess; even a princess doesn't have that kind of freedom." Prince Rui's face darkened.

"If you don't want to get married, then you can continue to live in the Prince's mansion. The Prince's mansion will not lack a single bite of food for you, but you can forget about that person."

Chang Sheng is still a sinner, Chang Tian's whereabouts are unknown, and the Chang family is absolutely unacceptable.

Even the emperor wouldn't agree.

Prince Rui turned and left after saying that.

"Father, Father!"

Princess Qingyue tried to catch up, but almost fell, which made her feel even worse.

She didn't want this either, but once she met him, her life was ruined.

Is there anyone in the world more handsome than that person?

……

……

"What did you say? Consort Lan and the Second Prince are having an affair?"

Lin Shuyun never expected to get to eat a piece of melon before going to bed.
