Waves of warmth struck Xia Sizhu, making her feel drowsy. She found a comfortable place on Dongfang Ye's body, and gradually, her vision began to blur.

"Does your stomach still hurt?" Seeing that Xia Sizhu was about to fall asleep, Dongfang Ye suddenly said in a very gentle tone.

"It doesn't hurt." The dazed Xia Si Zhu subconsciously replied.

"Is the midnight snack delicious?" Dongfang Ye continued to speak with a glint of light in his eyes.

It was like a wolf seeing its prey. The eyes of a hunter were filled with calculation.

"Delicious." Xia Sizhu tersely answered.

"How about I send you a midnight snack every day?" Dongfang Ye gently said.

"Alright." Xia Sizhu replied without hesitation.

"Can you warm your stomach for me in the future?" Dongfang Ye was still as gentle as ever.

"Alright." He said without thinking.

"Is grandpa nice to you?" Dongfang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Alright!" The sleeping Xia Sizhu had no idea that a trap was coming towards her, so she repeated the same words.

"Is it okay to be this grandpa's wife?" Dongfang Ye stared fixedly at Xia Sizhu. The next part was to focus on the real issue. He was afraid that Xia Sizhu would suddenly wake up.

"Alright." Xia Sizhu was brought inside without a hitch. After saying a few good words consecutively, Xia Sizhu subconsciously said "good".

Xia Sizhu was still drowsy and showed no signs of waking up.

Hearing Xia Sizhu's reply, Dongfang Ye's eyes instantly lit up. He took out a piece of paper and a box of imprinted mud from his chest pocket.

After putting all these on his body, Dongfang Ye used his other hand to stick Xia Sizhu's hand to the imprint and placed it on top of the piece of paper.

"Come, press a hand print master and I will no longer disturb your sleep." At this moment, Dongfang Ye's voice was filled with guidance.

"Hmm?" Xia Sizhu uncertainly squeaked. She opened her confused eyes and, without even looking at the contents of the paper, pressed her claws down on the paper and fell asleep in an instant.

When Dongfang Ye saw that he had achieved his goal, he folded the paper and put it in his chest. Then, he used his inner force to warm Xia Sizhu's lower abdomen.

The door was filled with black lines from Ling Feng, who was at the corner. He had seen his master's underhanded actions, and with a few words, he invited Miss Xia in.

Although he didn't see what was written on the paper slip, he guessed that it was some promise. I must have been afraid that Miss Xia would wake up and not admit it. That's why I prepared it.

Look at the paper in this grandpa's hand, and that imprint … this grandpa had obviously planned this beforehand.

"Call me when it's time for court." Dongfang Ye tried to leave, but Xia Sizhu held him tightly. Looking at the sleeping figure in his arms, Dongfang Ye compromised.

"Alright." Ling Feng replied.

"Your grandpa's time is up." Ling Feng softly said as time passed by.

"Screech ~ ~" The sound of the window opening could be heard as Dongfang Ye came out from the window.

Dongfang Ye hadn't slept all night, and he had used his internal energy to warm Xia Sizhu's stomach for the whole night. It was obvious that Dongfang Ye wasn't in a good mood.

"Master, are you alright?" Ling Feng asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Dongfang Ye waved his hand.

"Will this grandpa still be going to the imperial court today?" Ling Feng looked at Dongfang Ye and said with a pained expression.

"If This King doesn't go up, then This King will change his clothes and enter the palace to see the empress dowager." Dongfang Ye looked at the clothes on his body and said.

"Why did you come to see Her Majesty?" Ling Feng asked in confusion.

"This King wants to enter the palace and settle this king's wife. As long as I convince the empress dowager, the wife won't be able to escape. I'll deal with Ah Zhu later." Dongfang Ye glanced at Xia Sizhu's room. The exhaustion on his face was all gone, leaving behind only excitement.

After saying that, Dongfang Ye performed his Qing Gong and left. Ling Feng looked towards Xia Sizhu's direction with some sympathy and also left.

The pitiful Xia Sizhu, who was still in her sleep, had sold herself completely and indistinctly.

Xia Sizhu still didn't know that her fate was changing. Once she woke up, what awaited her would be her fate …

After returning to the palace and changing into some clean clothes, Dongfang Ye rode a carriage to the palace.

At this moment, the empress dowager just woke up. Su Qiu pushed open the door with a washbasin and walked in.

"Empress Dowager, Night King is at the door requesting an audience." Su Qiu placed the basin on the table as he spoke.

"Ye'er, what is he doing? Go and tell him that I'll see him after I wash up. " Her Majesty walked over to the washbasin and said.

Amongst her grandchildren, the Crown Prince was too strict with the benefits and Nightmare King was too bloodthirsty, so she didn't like him at all.

Only Hao'er was kind-hearted and didn't ask for anything. Such a character caused her heart to ache for him.

Hao'er's personality wasn't suitable for someone like her to be born in a palace, so she couldn't help but love him a little more.

Her heart ached for Hao'er, who didn't ask for anything. Hao'er, whose martial arts weren't that strong, was still in pain.

"Let him in!" The empress dowager calmly spoke after arranging her appearance.

"Grandson greets Grandmother." Dongfang Ye came in from the door and bowed to the empress dowager, his face devoid of any exhaustion.

"Exempt from formalities, what business do you have with This Dowager?" the empress dowager asked as she looked at the slowly rising Dongfang Ye.

"Your grandson wishes to request the empress dowager to grant us a marriage!" Dongfang Ye stood up and looked straight at the empress dowager, his eyes filled with determination.

"Oh!" You actually want me to help you get married? It's rare, so tell me! Whose daughter is it, This Dowager will help you decide to grant you your marriage. " There was surprise in the empress dowager's eyes. Her grandson had unexpectedly been enlightened.

"Grandson wants to marry Xia Sizhu as his consort." Dongfang Ye expressed his inner thoughts and waited for the empress dowager to respond.

"This is something that This Dowager cannot decide." The empress dowager's calm expression suddenly turned solemn.

"Why?" Dongfang Ye didn't look too good either. He had to pass the empress dowager's trial, otherwise he wouldn't be able to marry Ah Zhu.

"This one doesn't know what little girl Zhu is thinking. If little girl Zhu likes you, this one will definitely agree. If she doesn't like you, then this one will kill her. This is something that This one cannot do."

This grandson of hers was the perfect match for Little Bamboo. It was just that she didn't know if Little Bamboo really liked him or not.

She also wanted the little girl Zhu to have a good home to return to. Ever since the little girl Zhu had annulled the marriage, she started to help the little girl Zhu find a new candidate for a husband.

If she bestowed the marriage, the little girl Zhu would not like Ye'er. At that time, the little girl Zhu would end the engagement, and this would be another storm.

"Does the empress dowager remember this jade pendant?" Dongfang Ye let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, it wasn't that the empress dowager didn't want to.

The jade pendant in Dongfang Ye's hand was precisely that one that Xia Sizhu had borrowed. Last night, he had taken off the jade pendant while Xia Sizhu was asleep in order to show it to the empress dowager.

"Your son actually gave you the jade pendant." When the empress dowager saw the jade pendant in Dongfang Ye's hand, a flash of surprise passed through her eyes.

Looking at the jade pendant in Dongfang Ye's hand, the empress dowager discovered that the originally green jade pendant had traces of blood-red lines mixed within. Her eyes suddenly froze as shock filled her eyes.

"My grandson lent this jade pendant to Ah Zhu not long ago. This is a IOU." Dongfang Ye gave you the written documents of the time and of Xia Si's bamboo sticks.
