The next morning, the outside of the palace was dark and overcast. Seeing that it was about to rain, Qiao Qiao stood in the middle of the palace and looked out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, you're up." After washing her face, Xiyue carefully placed it aside. Ever since the Emperor had prepared to remove the hidden danger in the imperial court, he had begun to wake up earlier and earlier every day.

"Yeah, I can't sleep." Qiao Qiao still lightly blinked her eyes. There was going to be a good show today, of course she was too excited to sleep.

"Hualala ~" After the sound of water, Xiyue twisted her face.

"I'll do it myself." Qiao Qiao received the handkerchief and wiped his face, "That's right, the servant girl that served Luo Qing at the Palace that day was called Qingwu?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Qingwu is a rank 4 palace maid from the imperial harem. The one who stayed at the palace that day wasn't her, but An'er. She was called in to serve Miss Luo." Xiyue reported.

"Ok, pass down the order and raise Qingwu to a rank 2 palace maid. She will be transferred to the Palace for some work." Joe said, still lowering his face.

Xiyue was slightly startled, but she immediately said, "Yes."

In the throne room, all the officials had already returned to their respective seats, but there were only two supreme thrones in the air, the officials were whispering to each other.

"Imperial decree ~" Eunuch Gao walked in from the inner hall, his face grave as he shouted, "The weather is still cloudy today, and His Majesty has the chills occasionally. The dragon's body isn't very good.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at the noble chair in the hall. There was no one there. It was not surprising that the officials had gathered around. But what was strange was that ever since the emperor had been assassinated and regained his authority, the regent had not only ignored him, but he had also not shown himself in the morning assembly. It was really hard to guess what was going on between the two of them.

"The Regent ordered that the weather is still cloudy today, and that there is occasional cold weather. We should rest for a day in the Residence." When he raised his head, he saw the crowd of officials looking at him inquiringly. He lowered his head in embarrassment and immediately left the hall. Recently, he had been lying more and more on behalf of the Prince.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. The two of them were in the morning court at the same time, yet they still used the same reason. This couldn't help but cause them to ponder deeply.

"Since the Regent is also injured, we should give up on the court today and leave the court ~" shouted Eunuch Gao. No one could refute the grievances of the various officials as they all knew that the Emperor had no choice but to leave early. The imperial court was about to fall into chaos!

Sigh! Many old officials were already shaking their heads in grief. If it weren't for the grace of the late emperor and the fact that they had taken responsibility for this matter, they would have long ago given up on the imperial government!

The misfortune of a nation, if a nation was in trouble, then the State of Qiao had to have the omen of a country falling!

He had served two emperors in the past, and the previous emperor had even placed more importance on it. He held the graciousness in his heart, and despite being an old man, he still insisted on staying to serve the new empress. He knew his emperor's mind very well, but at present, he did not understand why the emperor was so early in the morning.

Normally, he was adept at seeing through his master's thoughts, but now, even he could barely see the current emperor clearly.

Eunuch Gao looked at the empty throne room and sighed, then turned and left.

However, the two people who had not arrived at the morning assembly were looking at each other leisurely. Suddenly, Qiao Qiao's red lips curled up as he said in an ambiguous manner, "Yan Yan, you have come today to occupy my morning assembly. Are you here to complete the unfinished business of that night?"

"This King is here to discuss business with you."

Yan Mo Chen's stern face did not have the slightest ripple, but Yan Mu's face was slightly red behind him. The Emperor's speech was really naked right now, the palace maids and guards were all there, and he actually said such shameless words. What made him even more surprised was that even though his own prince did not have any expression on his face, his tone did not contain the slightest bit of disgust or anger.

"Yan Yan, do you have any words you want to say to me alone in this chamber?" Qiao Qiao pursed her red lips seductively and picked up the teacup on the table. She took a sip and looked at Yan Mo Chen through the top of the teacup with her bright eyes. Her feather-like eyelashes fluttered, making her look very attractive.

However, Mo Chen was not moved.

"Yan Mu, get everyone else to leave." Yan Mo Chen ordered Yan Mu.

"Yes." As Yan Mu spoke, he looked to Xiyue, who was still behind Qiao once more.

"Eh? "If Yan Mu can't be considered a random person, then my Xiyue can't be counted as one either!" Qiao was still glaring furiously at Yan Mu as if he was warning him.

Yan Mu was startled. The way the emperor treated others and his prince was like the difference between heaven and earth. But since the prince had already instructed him, even if he offended the emperor, he would still do the same.

"Xiyue doesn't count."

He turned his head to look at his prince, only to see Yan Mo Chen lifting his teacup and taking a sip. He had a relaxed expression, as if the words he had spoken did not come from his mouth. Moreover, it was in compliance with the emperor's opinion. This simply wasn't the usual style of a prince!

Qiao Qiao still had a complacent look on his face as he raised his head. He looked at Yan Mu with a provocative expression.

"What do you want to do about the Grand Commandant?" When Yan Mo Chen saw that the servants had retreated, he asked about the main topic.

Yan Yan, are you sure I did this for the sake of the Grand Commandant?" Qiao still frowned slightly. She had already seen through Yan Mo Chen's intentions, but he wanted her to continue acting like a mediocre emperor and a puppet, so she set up a trap for him. Since he had such plans, she might as well follow his wishes.

"Don't think that This King is so terrible." Yan Mo Chen seemed to have seen through Qiao Qiao's thoughts as he spoke faintly.

Qiao Qiao's face still contorted. Well, her thoughts had been seen through.

"This King just responded to the Emperor's commands by finding a reason for the Emperor to leave the imperial court." Yan Mo Chen said slowly.

Qiao Qiao was still shocked. He had actually seen through her intentions!

She had always thought that Yan Mo Chen would be her chess piece in the entire game, but now it seemed that he had a complete understanding of her movements, and even her scheming in her heart was something that he would be able to understand.
