Stay in the capital? She hesitated for a moment as she thought about how she could find a chance to stay in the palace for a few more days and successfully steal what Qin Rui wanted. Seeing that she was hesitating, the little emperor felt that the matter was worth it. Overjoyed, he immediately turned around and called for Mo Jinyuan.
Duan Xiaohe was embarrassed, at this moment, it was midnight and people were hugging their wives to sleep, why did he call them over?
She hurriedly explained that she should think about it further, but the little Emperor muttered to himself, "I heard that you built your own house in the countryside?" Jingxi went several times and said that your house was beautiful and rare. "This way, you'll have to take a fancy to the land in the capital. Even if there are people living in the upper levels, I'll let them move out. You can cover whatever you like, no matter how big you love it."
The little Emperor spoke as if it was a matter of course, but when Duan Xiaohe heard this, her heart trembled in fear. The capital was bustling, but she preferred the peace and quiet of the countryside.
"There's no rush. I'll think about it."
Because of Fu Yue, Duan Xiaohe did not go back to the Minister's Mansion, but staying in the hall all day was not a problem either, so she begged the little emperor to let her go out and take a walk. The little emperor thought for a moment, then told her not to run around, just follow by his side.
F * ck! It didn't take any effort to get it!
The people who were placed by the little emperor's side were all close to him, so it wasn't a problem for Duan Xiaohe to enter or leave with the little emperor. Other than the throne room, she had even gone to the imperial study several times.
Every time the little Emperor reviewed a memorial, Duan Xiaohe wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing him. Looking at the side of the young emperor's face, it was clear to see that she was handsome and charming. She really did have a good appearance. If it wasn't for the original owner's brother, she would have pounced on him too.
"I heard that you only have a few concubines in the imperial harem right now. Old Liu Family only has one incense stick of yours, you have to work hard no matter what."
The little emperor paused as he was in the middle of reading the imperial reports. He raised his eyes and looked at her coldly. It was a little too little. Only now did the various powers in the imperial court calm down. It was unlikely that they would only choose one person to enter the palace. It would require approximately one lady from each clan to enter … Which family do you think is more suitable for a young lady? "
Duan Xiaohe then brought up the daughter of one of the families mentioned by the Lady Zhang. The little emperor raised her eyebrows and her expression suddenly dropped by a few degrees.
"You borrowed the Minister's Mansion to enter the palace just to mention his daughter to me?"
"No no, Mo Jinyuan has treated me well, so I only left the Minister's Mansion once, and it was even Chen Jing Xi who followed me there. I only know the few of you in the capital. I also heard about the matter regarding the daughter of that family. "
The little Emperor looked at her with a profound gaze. "Who told you this?"
Duan Xiaohe would not be so foolish as to tell someone about the Lady Zhang s. She blurted out that she had heard it from the little palace maids outside.
Now that she had mastered this art, she could lie without blushing, and even her eyes could be honest without panicking in the slightest. The little emperor looked at her and called for someone to come in. He immediately swapped out all the palace maids in the hall.
Duan Xiaohe was dumbstruck. Firstly, she was glad that she didn't say the Lady Zhang out loud at that time, and secondly, she felt that she had let down those little palace maids.
"Where are these palace maids going?"
"Since I can't control my mouth, then I'll go to a place where I can. There are many places in the palace that are in charge of people. "
Ever since that day, this palace hall had been replaced with a bunch of wooden puppets. No matter what Duan Xiaohe asked, those who stayed to serve her did not dare to say a single word, and almost suffocated to death.
Duan Xiaohe could not hold it in anymore, she called Lady Zhang over, and the two chatted for four hours, until her mouth was parched.
During this time, Lady Zhang also mentioned something.
Ever since Lady Zhang came to the palace, she was responsible for the little emperor's meals. Even the little emperor's concubines had never tasted the culinary arts of the Lady Zhang. For the Lady Zhang, this was already considered a supreme honor.
However, the moment Duan Xiaohe entered the palace, the Lady Zhang was immediately summoned. She even ordered some delicacies to be personally sent to the bedroom.
Furthermore, the little Emperor had told him not to tell anyone about Duan Xiaohe. The Lady Zhang also understood how powerful the two of them were. Privately speaking, she and Duan Xiaohe should be the same, but she naturally could not sell Duan Xiaohe out. Thus, when others came to ask about this, they only bragged about the appearance of the woman in the bedroom and kept quiet about everything else.
However, the young emperor had replaced all the palace maids in the palace with just a single word from her. This matter was quite impressive.
Lady Zhang's serious attitude when she talked about this matter made Duan Xiaohe very nervous.
"Now that there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you, I think it's better if you just stay here. If you're really too bored, then you can call me to tell you some gossip. It would be more of an entertainment."
Duan Xiaohe laughed involuntarily, and could only agree.
After Lady Zhang left, she became worried. According to Lady Zhang, she was the most eye-catching person in the palace, and the moment she walked out of the palace she felt as if she would be dismembered.
If so, how could she steal anything?
After two more days of waiting for death to come by, Duan Xiaohe went back to sleep. After sleeping for a while, Duan Xiaohe heard that it was a bit chaotic outside the hall, as a concubine was about to come in to take a look and was blocked by the guards at the entrance.
From the arrogant tone outside, it seemed that his status was not low.
Duan Xiaohe did not want to meddle in this matter, she could do whatever she wanted, if she had the ability to shout outside, she would definitely be able to enter.
Thinking of this, her heart felt a lot more comfortable, and she went back to sleep again.
The next day, she suddenly wanted to eat a piece of the meat patty that she had eaten in the town for the first time. He did not expect that when Lady Zhang brought the items over, the meat patty was actually cut in half by someone. Lady Zhang was extremely careful in the palace and had never offended anyone before. Furthermore, her position and influence in the palace were people that many people wanted to curry favor with.
In this situation, Lady Zhang was stunned.
Lady Zhang had never seen the little emperor before, but she knew that the relationship between Duan Xiaohe and the little emperor was not simple.
Thinking about it this way, Lady Zhang was in a bad mood. There were only two ways for her to go. She could either chase after him or complain. Lady Zhang definitely would not dare to complain to the little Emperor. After thinking for a bit, she could only give up and chase after her.
Who knew that the two palace maids who had stolen her belongings would return and snatch her away as well?
Duan Xiaohe waited for a long time, but still didn't come to Lady Zhang. The hunger in her stomach made her drool. It was unknown if it was because of the child, but when she felt hungry, she felt weak, dizzy, and nauseous. She could only urge a maid to ask her what was going on.
Who knew that right after the little palace maid left, she would meet a big palace maid from one of the big palaces. She said that the Lady Zhang was busy, so she asked her to bring the things over.
The little palace maid was half believing and half doubting that Duan Xiaohe was resting and told her to go to the side hall first. The big palace maid arrogantly walked in and glanced at the main hall. Only then did she unwillingly enter the side hall and wait.
After they went in, the young palace maid ran over to Duan Xiaohe to explain the situation. When Duan Xiaohe heard this, she felt that something was amiss, the Lady Zhang couldn't possibly just walk away and ask someone to send something over. Furthermore, she said that when she called for the Lady Zhang, she wanted to come over to chat.
With this thought, the Lady Zhang was afraid that something might have happened.
She asked the little palace maid what kind of background this big palace maid was. The little palace maid then moved aside the matter of someone calling for her that day, saying that this big palace maid was the concubine's henchman.
Duan Xiaohe immediately understood when she heard it, she told the little palace maid to go back to the main palace maid, and that she was still sleeping, and that if anyone wanted to wait, they could only wait. She also ordered the little palace maid to go to the imperial kitchens to ask if Lady Zhang was there. If she wasn't, then she would directly look for the little Emperor and tell him that the Lady Zhang was missing.
The young palace maid followed her instructions and passed on the message, then ran over to the imperial kitchens to inquire. As expected, the Lady Zhang was not there.
Thus, this matter was brought to the ears of the little emperor.
The previous Prime Minister wanted to kill Duan Xiaohe and make him regret her life, how could the little Emperor dare to be careless? He immediately called for people to investigate, and as expected, he found out that the imperial concubine was the one who chided the Lady Zhang and locked him up.
The little emperor threw down the unfinished imperial reports and went to the imperial concubine palace. He scolded his concubine for using her position and the power of the family to commit crimes in the palace, and it was simply excessive. He immediately accepted the concubine's title, lowering her to the lowest class of talents, and even ordered that the concubine be executed.
The concubine, who had once been pampered until she became arrogant and despotic, instantly paled. She wailed and pleaded for the delivery of the goods. She also knew her mistake and begged the little Emperor for a light punishment. The little emperor coldly swept her a glance. He said that it was hard to say that the food that had been stolen had already been poisoned. It was already benevolent of him not to punish his concubine together with her.
After saying that, the little Emperor ordered the Lady Zhang to call her back to prepare a new set of dishes and send it to Duan Xiaohe.
The news from the palace spread the fastest. After such a short period of time, everyone already knew that the hidden woman was the little emperor's heart. She was someone that could not be provoked.
Lady Zhang made another meat patty and looked at Duan Xiaohe's hungry death look. She had a lingering fear in her heart. Duan Xiaohe suddenly had a plan. After finishing the meat pie, she went to find the little emperor.
The little Emperor directly brought her to his bedroom. The treatment of the Emperor was indeed not something an ordinary person could compare to. It was just that the interior decorations were truly amazing. Duan Xiaohe who had transformed into Grandma Liu, was curious about everything that she saw.
He saw a beautiful looking box open and it turned out to be the medicine primer that Qin Rui had been looking for!
