The empress dowager took the paper and looked at the flamboyant words written on it, the corners of her mouth twitching.

"Was this written by little girl Zhu? Only she can write something like that. " When she finished reading the documents, the empress dowager rubbed her forehead and said in frustration.

"Yes." Dongfang Ye forced a smile and said.

"Little girl Zhu, are you really okay with this jade pendant?" The empress dowager glanced at the jade pendant and said.

"Grandmother will return the jade pendant to Zhu in a bit. If Grandmother doesn't believe me, you can go and investigate." Dongfang Ye couldn't help but rejoice when he heard the empress dowager's tone soften.

"This one will check." The empress dowager glanced at Dongfang Ye and continued, "This Dowager will not help you marry Little Bamboo."

"Grandmother …" Dongfang Ye was just about to speak when the empress dowager raised her hand. Dongfang Ye didn't speak anymore and looked at her.

"This Dowager promised you that she wouldn't interfere in matters between you and Little Bamboo, and also that the Emperor won't interfere in matters between them. Whether or not you can marry Little Bamboo will depend on yourself. If there's nothing else, you can withdraw!" Her Majesty looked at Dongfang Ye and said.

"Grandson will take his leave." Dongfang Ye's eyes flashed with determination. With the empress dowager's promise, he could safely chase after Ah Zhu without worrying about the empress dowager and the emperor playing tricks on him from behind the scenes.

"Esteemed empress dowager, why did you …" After Dongfang Ye left, Su Qiu looked at the empress dowager's hesitant expression.

"Are you trying to ask me how I, who always doted on little girl Zhu, could promise that Ye'er wouldn't interfere in this matter?" The empress dowager lightly sipped a mouthful of tea, her eyebrows raised as an aura emanated from her body.

"Yes sir!" Su Qiu nodded.

"That jade pendant is passed down within the royal family. Only fated people can touch that jade pendant and they won't burn it. Every generation of royal children have one selected person who can pick up that jade pendant.

In the previous generation, the reason why his son was able to hold the jade and not get burned was because his son was able to hold the jade. At that time, the emperor was overjoyed, and then he established his son as the crown prince.

This jade pendant wasn't something that only the prince could obtain, it was also possible that the royal daughter could obtain. At the same time, there was also the royal daughter's other half that could obtain.

The chosen princes and royal daughters liked to use this sort of method to find their fated people.

This proved that the little girl was fated to be with Ye'er, but fate did not mean that they were destined to be together. In the end, some people were fated to be together and could not be together again.

"So, I decided not to interfere in this matter. If the two of them are fated to be together, then it would be best for them to be together, but if there really is no difference, then I will make a move and pull the bamboo girl back. This way, the bamboo girl might be injured, but it is still much better than forcing them to be together." The empress dowager spoke slowly, her face full of worry.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Night King and Miss Zhu will definitely be together. " Su Qiu saw through the empress dowager's worries and comforted her.

"Let's hope so!" The Empress Dowager's voice was erratic.

"It's about time. Your son should be arriving soon. If you leave, I want you to tell your son about this. I don't want him to interfere either." Su Qiu stepped forward and held his hand horizontally. The empress dowager placed her hand on Su Qiu's and went to find the emperor.

"Where are we going next, grandpa?" Dongfang Ye asked as he came out of the palace and got on the carriage.

"To the Prime Minister's Estate." When Dongfang Ye thought of Xia Sizhu, that sweet sleeping face of hers felt extremely comfortable.

"Giddy up!" Ling Feng drove the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Estate.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's manor, Dongfang Ye didn't even wait for the guard to report to the Prime Minister before barging in.

The gatekeeper hurried to report to the Lord Prime Minister that the Night King had arrived.

"Your humble servant welcomes you, Night King, with all due respect." Dongfang Ye walked to the front hall, and just happened to bump into the rushing Xia Wei, Xia Wei said.

"Prime Minister, please rise." Dongfang Ye blandly said.

"Greetings, Night King." His first wife bowed as well.

Dongfang Ye coldly looked at the first wife and walked directly into Xia Sizhu's room.

After being ignored, the First Wife's face turned pale, but she did not dare to lose her temper at Night King.

"Greetings, Night King." When she saw Dongfang Ye, Aunt Liu also bowed.

The first wife looked at Aunt Liu with disdain. She was the Crown Prince's mother-in-law, Night King, but he hadn't replied. A woman like her would definitely be even more detested by the Night King. She was waiting to see him teach her a lesson.

"Yes." Dong Fang looked at Aunt Liu. Originally, he didn't want to bother with her, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Ah Zhu seemed to have a good relationship with her.

The doctor's face contorted. That woman didn't have any status, so she had to be educated. How could Night King say that she didn't know him?

Aunt Liu saluted and looked up to see the First Wife's resentful gaze. She only smiled faintly and then walked to Xia Wei's other side.

Xia Wei had followed Dongfang Ye all the way to the Bamboo Thinking Pavilion. Xia Wei looked at Dongfang Ye and didn't know when he had gotten involved with Dongfang Ye.

"Greetings, Night King." Ling'er saw Dongfang Ye and bowed.

"Has Zhu woken up?" Dongfang Ye's tone was as gentle as the warm wind.

"Miss hasn't woken up yet!" Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then realized that Dongfang Ye was asking her if her young mistress was awake.

When Dongfang Ye heard this, he quietly walked to the door and prepared to push it open.

When Ling'er saw that she wanted to stop him, she was stopped by Aunt Liu, who shook her head, indicating that she should not disturb her.

Xia Wei looked at Dongfang Ye's actions and slightly narrowed his eyes.

Dongfang Ye pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Xia Sizhu sleeping soundly on the bed, a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Ah Zhu, you're up. I'll take you to have breakfast." Dongfang Ye naughtily leaned his face close to Xia Sizhu's neck, letting out a breath on her neck.

Seeing this action, Ling'er wanted to charge forward and fight with Dongfang Ye.

"Girl, behave yourself." Aunt Liu frowned and said with slight anger.

"Aunt Liu and Night King are taking advantage of Miss. I'm going to stop Night King." Ling'er had an anxious expression.

"Stop Night King? What are you going to do to stop it? "Let's wait and see, until your young miss wakes up." Aunt Liu was much calmer than Ling'er.

Dongfang Ye and Si Zhu must be very familiar with each other. They wouldn't have used this kind of method to wake Sizhu up and kill her. Don't let him go unstopped. It wouldn't be worth it to just throw away your own life first.

Ling'er lowered her head dejectedly. She clearly knew that her status was not even enough to make Night King angry.

"Disgraceful." The first wife looked at Ling'er and mocked.

"We didn't let big sister see it. Big sister can choose to not watch it." Aunt Liu replied indifferently.

"Humph!" The first wife glanced at him disdainfully.

Following that, a gust of wind from the palm blew the First Madam down to the ground, and at the same time, the door closed up.

The first wife's face instantly turned the color of pig liver. If she wanted to get angry, there was no way she could get angry. The Night King could kill her with a blink of an eye, so she didn't dare challenge him.
