Qiao Qiao and Xiyue continued to walk in the direction of the Palace after this matter was resolved in the imperial court.

Now that it was autumn, there were no longer any sounds coming from the hundred flowers in the imperial garden. Qiao Qiao was still deep in thought as he walked, but he had no time to pay attention to the beautiful scenery of autumn.

"Your majesty." Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still deep in thought, Xiyue pondered for a long time before calling out.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Qiao was still in a daze as he asked Xiyue.

"Your Majesty, when this servant was guarding the Palace yesterday, I saw …" "I saw it …" Xiyue bit her lips. She really didn't know whether or not she should tell the Emperor about this.

"See what?" Qiao Qiao saw how serious Xiyue was about this matter and asked.

"This servant accidentally saw Yan Mu and Meng Shi together." Xiyue steeled her heart. Although the emperor was extremely busy with the matters of the imperial court, she definitely couldn't hide this from the emperor.

"Yan Mu and Meng Shi?" Joe still frowned.

"Yes, this servant is afraid that they will discover that he is too far away and have not heard what they have said. However, it seems that Meng Shi treats Yan Mu with great respect." Xiyue added.

Qiao Qiao was still frowning. Could it be that the command token she sent out to the Embroidered Uniform Guard was unable to include the one she obtained from Yan Mo Chen? It was intentionally given to her by him. Because Meng Shi is already one of them, so … She did not trust the imperial guards, so Yan Mo Chen did a trick to make her trust the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

However, why did Yan Mo Chen do this?

"Your majesty, this servant has something that I don't know whether I should say or not." Xi Yue carefully looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she whispered.

"Just say it." Joe still sighed.

"This servant thinks it's best if the emperor doesn't trust the Regent so much. The Regent might not have the same thoughts as the Emperor. After all, when the Yan family was exterminated, there was still a relationship with the Supreme Emperor." Xiyue had a cautious look on her face as she said this.

Xiyue's words struck directly at Qiao Qiao's heart. Why hadn't she thought that Yan Mo Chen would bear grudges against his grandfather? After all, if his grandfather hadn't chased the Yan King out of the capital, this wouldn't have happened to the Yan Clan.

Recalling everything that had happened in the palace recently, Ning Xin's' caution 'before she died, her several poisons and assassinations, and the multiple times the Palace had received people from the martial arts sects, were all the Embroidered Uniform Guards just a bunch of trash? If it wasn't for someone intentionally acting like this, why would there be internal and external problems in the Qiao Country?

"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know if your feelings for the Regent are real or fake, but I hope that Your Majesty won't be blinded by your feelings." Xiyue suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. She knew that her words were extremely disrespectful. Even if she died, she didn't want the emperor to foolishly trust the Regent.

"Hurry and get up." Qiao Qiao continued to support Xiyue. She had done everything for her, so how could she blame Xiyue?

"Thank you, your majesty." Xiyue rose, a look of gratification on her face. It seemed as though the Emperor had listened to her words.

Currently, the matters of the palace were more and more numerous, so she did indeed have her own selfish thoughts. Due to her infatuation for Yan Mo Chen, she was unable to see through everything related to him, and even her feelings for Yan Mo Chen were becoming more and more uncertain.

"Xiyue, help me handle something." Qiao Qiao hurriedly whispered in Xiyue's ear.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiyue slowly smiled. It seemed the Emperor was truly on his guard.
