When they were less than a hundred meters away from the palace, Qiao Qiao still stopped and sniffed with all his might.
"This Emperor seems to have already smelled the scent of victory." Joe continued to curl his lips and give a faint smile.
The little guard frowned slightly. It seemed like the rumors were true. The Emperor of Qiao was indeed a sloppy person. Not only did he speak without a beginning or an end, he even did things in a disorderly manner. He really couldn't figure it out.
Just as Hu Yifei had said, a valiant life did not need an explanation. Her life still did not need an explanation to anyone. Whether it was a straw bag or a puppet, she only wanted Qiao Qiao's life.
"Your majesty, this subordinate came late to save Your Majesty, please forgive me!" A young man dressed in red walked in front of Qiao Qiao and cupped his hands as he spoke.
"Lord Meng Shi of the Imperial Secret Service, long time no see." Qiao Qiao was still speaking for the sake of her integrity. From what she knew, she had met Meng Shi once before. She politely bowed and said, "Thank you for your help today."
"Your Majesty is too polite. Protecting the emperor is your subordinate's duty." Meng Shi's face was slightly stunned for a moment before he cupped his hands and said.
"Look, this palace is still my Embroidered Uniform Guard!" Qiao Qiao still had a complacent expression as he turned his head to look at the stunned little guard behind him.
He had heard his father talk about Lord Meng Shi since he was young, and the lord Meng Shi in his heart was even more enchanted. He had originally wanted to enter the palace and enter the Imperial Secret Service, but he had never imagined that there would be a coincidence. He had joined the imperial guards, and now, he had truly met the lord Meng Shi.
"Senior Qian Hu, I am here to recommend a talent to you. How about it?" Qiao Qiao still looked at the worship in the little imperial bodyguard's eyes, and said while laughing lightly.
"The emperor's recommendation makes him a true general." Meng Shi said with an expressionless face.
"Why aren't you going?"
Qiao once again slanted his eyes towards the little guard behind him. He saw the little guard's body stiffen and his expression change. The emotions in his eyes changed again and again. Then, with a face full of tears of gratitude, he kowtowed to Qiao and said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your subordinate will definitely repay you back in the future!"
Qiao Qiao's lips were slightly raised. Without a word, he walked into the palace.
"Why is it you?!" Once he entered the palace, Qiao Qiao's mouth was still wide open as she stared at the man holding the command medallion. She thought to herself: Isn't the one who ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to escort the command medallion Eunuch Gao? How could it be him!
"The emperor is surprised to see me?" Ji Mingyuan slowly turned around, as the deep ravine of beauties slowly relaxed.
"Of course." Joe still nodded his head, and looked around to see that there was no sign of Gonggong or Qingwu.
"Didn't you ask me what was the purpose of impersonating Han Shuyi in the palace?" Ji Minyuan frowned slightly as a light flickered in his eyes. "I'm here to help Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty believe me?"
"I do!" Qiao Qiao nodded without hesitation, but a trace of craftiness flashed through his eyes.
"You're still that silly woman." Ji Mingyuan pursed his lips as he looked Qiao Yifan up and down.
"Don't say anything that I don't understand. I ask you, why are the tokens in your hands?" Joe was still frowning, and she was not in the mood to discuss the question of who was stupid or not.
"Qingwu has been plotted against." Ji Mingyuan had a serious expression on his face as he jokingly replied.
"What?!" Joe's face was still tense, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Rest assured, nothing serious has happened. I have already rescued her. This time, she has left the palace to complete the task you had entrusted her to her." Ji Mingyuan slowly said.
"Breathe in!" Then he walked forward a few steps to the table and asked, "What identity do you have to be able to come and go freely in my imperial harem?"
"The favorite concubine of the emperor, the number one young master of the capital, Yuanfei." Ji Mingyuan shamelessly said.
"Pfft ~!" Qiao Qiao still held the cup of tea on the table and spat out. This fellow really knew how to give himself a title and kowtow!
"Your majesty, slow down. If something happens, chenqie will become a widow." Ji Mingyuan stepped forward and patted Qiao Qiao's back, but there was no trace of a joke between his brows.
"Weren't you unwilling to enter the palace even if you died?" Qiao once again wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth, raised his head, and blinked his bright eyes.
"That's Han Yufeng, not me, Ji Mingyuan." Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still evading, Ji Mingyuan's hands awkwardly stiffened in midair as he gently lowered them.
"Then you …" Qiao Qiao was still speechless for a moment. She realized that she was unable to win against this man. "But Zhen didn't order you to be his concubine."
"It has already been accepted. The entire Imperial Palace, even the entire capital, knows that the Emperor has taken in the number one young master as his consort." Ji Minyuan immediately replied with a playful smile. He was afraid that Qiao would still refuse to admit it. He had long since made preparations for this.
"When did this happen?!" Qiao Qiao still had a face of being plotted against as he gritted his teeth and asked.
"It's here... "One day ago." Ji Mingyuan lightly smiled.
One day ago … Wasn't that when she found out about Ji Mingyuan's true identity? Could he have been preparing for this when he left at that time? Damn, this man was simply immoral. He actually married himself just like that and still hadn't informed the parties involved!
However, his heart was not as innocent and harmless as it seemed on the surface. In order to obtain his title, he had saved Qingwu and obtained the command medallion in order to force his father-in-law to take him on as his imperial concubine!
Then, he had really succeeded!
