Rong'er came out of the palace gate, accompanied by Rong'er to sacrifice his father's soul;

Thuen Rongjia because of the glory, all moved in the heart.

Rong'er looked at the clothing of the eunuch in front of him and frowned slightly. He then looked at the consultant who brought the clothes over, "Eunuch Gu, this … Does the Emperor want me to wear this? "

"Yes, Young Lord Rong. Tomorrow morning, when the emperor is in court, this servant will come to pick you up. The emperor, I, along with you and my guard Cao Yin, will be leaving the palace together." The consultant nodded and said.

"Alright, I understand. I'll be troubling Eunuch Gu then." Rong'er nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave first. Tomorrow morning, Young Master Rong will be waiting for me. Don't forget to not let anyone else know." With that, the advisory firm backed off.

Little Qing looked at Rong'er in confusion. "What kind of play is the emperor singing about?"

"The Emperor is taking me home." Rong'er said softly, "Xiao Qing, only you, me, and Su Ya know about this. Tomorrow, I will secretly leave the palace with His Majesty, and don't let them know about the other palace maids, just say that I'm not feeling well, and don't come scratch me. Even if someone comes to visit, they'll all stop me, so don't let anyone know."

Little Qing solemnly nodded. "Mistress, don't worry."

The next morning, Rong'er sent out the other palace maids to handle some matters, leaving Su Ya and Xiaoqing by her side. Xiaoqing looked at Rong'er, who was dressed in eunuch attire, and grinned.

Rong'er frowned, "Xiao Qing, what are you laughing about? Is it really that ugly?"

"No …" "It's not …" Little Qing smiled. "I feel like Master is really a handsome young eunuch in this outfit."

"Come on, Xiaoqing, you're still making fun of me." Rong'er gently shook his head.

At this moment, Su Ya came in, "Mistress, Eunuch Gu is here. Please come out."

Rong'er walked out of the room, while the consultant waited at the door. He said in a low voice, "Master, let's go. The emperor is waiting for you at the Chastity Gate."

Rong'er nodded and said a few words to Xiaoqing and Su Ya before leaving with the counselor. The counselor told her to lower her head and cover her face with the brim of her hat, and she did as she was told, and along the way, she met two or three court ladies bowing to the advisor. After all, the counselor shop was currently a popular place beside the emperor, so the people of the palace still respected them. From afar, the emperor was actually dressed as a young eunuch.

Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er, who was being led in by the consultant. He smiled and said, "Eunuch Gu, please lead me and Eunuch Rong out."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The counselor then handed Rong'er a badge and said, "Young master, this is the badge used to enter and exit the palace. The Emperor and Master Cao will both be together.

Rong'er took it over and left first. Xuan Ye and Cao Yin followed closely behind, with Rong'er at the back. The four of them arrived at the entrance of the palace.

The gate of the Shenyang Gate was used for the entrance of the palace. The soldiers guarding the gate recognized Cao Yin and the counsellor, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Gu and Master Cao, are you coming out of the palace together?"

"That's right, the emperor ordered us to leave the palace to take care of some errands. These two eunuchs followed us out and received their identity tokens as well." The consultant said.

"Alright, please show me your identity cards." The guard said to Xuan Ye and Rong'er. The two of them didn't dare to raise their heads and only displayed their identity cards before following the consultant out of the palace.

Outside the entrance of the Divine Martial Gate, a small carriage prepared by Cao Cao was already waiting for them. Rong'er, Xuan Ye and the counselors entered the carriage. Cao Yin sat beside the carriage driver and the carriage sped towards Rong'er's house.

Rong'er heaved a sigh of relief as he sat in the carriage. "Your majesty, you scared this subject to death."

Xuan Ye chuckled. "What's there to be afraid of? If you come out with me, what else can you do? I'll tell Rong'er in secret. After paying my respects, I often sneak out of the palace."

"Huh?" Rong'er's eyes widened in surprise.

"Rong'er, actually, I wanted to walk among the commoners to see if the commoners were satisfied with my title." Rong'er, actually, I wanted to walk among the commoners to see if the commoners were satisfied with my title. Xuan Ye said softly.

Rong'er nodded. "His Majesty is right. His Majesty can see the people's lives with his own eyes, more than the ministers can describe them with a hundred words."

"That's right!" Xuan Ye chuckled. "Rong'er, this is my last secret from you, and I've let you know. Honestly speaking, the matter of me leaving the palace is extremely secretive, and very few people in the imperial harem know of it. Even my royal grandmother was not told to prevent her from worrying."

Rong'er frowned slightly. "But Your Majesty, it's very dangerous for you to bring only two people out of the palace."

"Haha." Xuan Ye smiled. "Rong'er, if I were the emperor, then I'd be in great danger, but I'm slightly convinced. Who knows if I'm the emperor, no one knows, then I'm just an ordinary person. Ordinary people won't be in any danger, at least haven't they been very safe for the past few years?"

Rong'er nodded lightly. "Although what the emperor said is reasonable, we should still pay more attention to safety. After all, the emperor has an esteemed body."

"Alright, I got it." "I was afraid that you'd be worried, so I didn't dare to tell you."

After the carriage had driven for a while, Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and said softly, "Rong'er, when we arrive at your house, the advisory board and Cao Yin will read out the imperial edict. We pretended to be accompanying the eunuch, so don't expose our identity.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Rong'er understands." Rong'er nodded in agreement.

After a while, they finally arrived at Rong'er's home. In ten years, she had been in the palace for ten years, but she had never been in this house again. The house she was once familiar with had become somewhat unfamiliar to her, and the white silk cloth that fluttered in the wind above the door indicated that there was a funeral going on in the house. Although it was close to noon, it was a bit cold, and Rong'er felt an intense pain in his heart.

"Consultant Guild, please announce your orders." Xuan Ye said softly.

"Your servant obeys the decree!" The advisor responded, raised the imperial edict with one hand, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The imperial edict is here!" At the same time, Xuan Ye, Rong'er, and Cao Yin raised their heads and walked into the mansion.

Rong'er lowered her head and sneaked a peek, only to see a haggard look on her face. Rong'er's heart trembled uncontrollably as she wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms, but she could only endure. The people she saw were all her father's cousins, dressed in mourning, causing her heart to ache violently. She tried her best to hold back her tears as she looked at everyone.

The few men from the Palace kneeled in the yard, waiting to receive the decree.

The counselor walked to the head of the court and opened the imperial report, then read out loud: "With the blessing of the Heavens, the Emperor has decreed that when the Minister of Rites, Gao Shan Xian, passed away, I am greatly saddened, because I have been serving as an official for many years, and have observed his position, and am respected by my colleagues, and my daughter, Gai Rong'er, has been in the palace for ten years, and has been bestowed the title of nobility, stately and virtuous, filial piety and filial piety, and has given birth to four princes and a princess.

"This subject shall be grateful." Madam Gai stood up to receive the decree, and everyone thanked her.

When Rong'er heard that the emperor had given her parents a grateful look, Xuan Ye flashed him a gentle smile.

The counsellor handed the imperial edict to Madam Gai and said softly, "Madam Gai, we still have some things we wish to say to Lady Gai in private. May I take a step forward to speak with her?"

Madam Gai heard the words of the consultant and quickly nodded her head, saying, "Senior Cao, these few eunuchs will be invited to the study room." Madam Gai led Xuan Ye and the other two to the study. After the door closed, Rong'er couldn't hold it in any longer. Tears welled up in her eyes as she called out, "Madam."

Ah!" Rong'er! "No, Venerable One!" Madam Gai also looked excitedly at her daughter, tears flowing uncontrollably down her face.

"Madam, you can just call me Rong'er. I secretly left the palace because I missed you." Rong'er rushed forward to hug her mother. The tears that she had been holding back ever since she arrived at the door finally flowed down.

"Rong'er, this … you stole it and left the palace. How about you let the people in the palace know about this?" Mrs. Gai hugged her daughter worriedly.

The consultant stepped forward and said, "Madam Gai, this household has already been arranged. You do not have to worry, please think of a way to clear out the people in the mourning hall and have Young Master Rong pay his respects to Lord Gai."

Madam Gai hurriedly wiped away her tears and nodded. "En, alright. You all stay here. I will go and arrange it."

In the spiritual hall of the mountain covered with incense, Rong'er kowtowed as the tears continued to flow down his face. Xuan Ye stood to the side and watched with a pained expression as Rong'er got up and walked to the coffin.

"Mother, what disease is Ama suffering from?" Rong'er asked softly.

"The imperial physician sent by the palace said that it was an intestinal tumor that had been growing in his body for a long time, but he didn't think that it was his intention. It caused a sudden illness that was treated for nearly half a month and still not cured." Madam Gai said faintly.

"Ama has always been healthy." Rong'er murmured softly.

"Sigh …" "I don't even know how to live anymore. I thank the emperor for his kindness towards me, for bestowing upon me a title lady so that I can receive a salary, but since you're no longer here, I don't know how long I can live on my own." Lady Gai murmured softly.

"Madam, Ama is no longer here, please don't let anything happen to her. You are my closest family members in this world. You must live well so Ama can be at ease and Rong'er can be at ease. Granny …" Rong'er nervously held her hands.

"Rong'er, your eldest mother will be strong and live. She will be able to protect you and make you feel lonely." Mrs. Gai looked fondly at her daughter and nodded bitterly.

Xuan Ye stood at the side and watched this scene. He couldn't help but feel sad. Young Master Qing Xuan Ye gave the consultant a wink and lightly sighed.

When the consultant saw the look in Xuan Ye's eyes, he stepped forward and said, "Noble Lady Rong, it's been a while. It's time for us to head back."

Madam Gai held Rong'er's hand and said softly, "Rong'er, quickly return. It isn't good to be found out while sneaking out of the palace. The Emperor has been treating you well all these years since you entered the palace."

Rong'er nodded slightly, "Mother, I'm going back. Please take care of yourself and promise me, okay?" Madam Gai nodded her head lightly, and Rong'er looked reluctantly at his mother. "Esteemed wangfei, I'm pregnant again. Today's time is too short. A few days later, the empress dowager and I will request for your permission to enter the palace. We'll have a good talk."

Rong'er, you've really lived up to your expectations. Now that you have a dragon heir, you should cherish him. Serve the emperor well, filial piety, and harmony with the empress dowager and empress dowager." Lady Gai looked at Rong'er with a gratified expression. "Rest assured of my first mother. My husband is a strong man, and my daughter is also a strong man. So I must be strong as well, right?" Madam Gai said with a light nod of her head.

"Mother!" Rong'er held Lady Gai gently, tears streaming down her face. Xuan Ye lightly nodded from the side. As the saying goes, a daughter must have a mother. Madam Gai must also be a very virtuous woman.

In the carriage heading back to the palace, Xuan Ye lightly held Rong'er's hand. "Rong'er, don't be sad. I'll be by your side."

Rong'er lifted his head and looked at Xuan Ye, his eyes filled with sincere emotion. "Your Majesty, thank you!" Thank you so much! "

Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er, his eyes filled with warmth. "Rong'er, don't thank me. Everything I've done for you is what I should do. I don't know if I've given you enough, but I've really done my best."

"Your Majesty …" Two streams of clear tears fell from her eyes. The Emperor was the Son of Heaven, this was already a great deal to her …
