Rumors spread all over the palace, and An Zhu's words reached the heart of a monarch.

How much did a monarch know about honor?

Xuan Ye's eyes lingered on the signboard. The great grief in his heart made him want to relax his tense mood. His gaze swept across the lifeless green card. He wanted to choose someone who didn't have any pressure, who could he overturn? The most eye-catching part of the signboard was Li An Zhu's name, Noble Lady An? Xuan Ye nodded his head. It seemed like he hadn't looked at her for a long time. He casually picked up the token and didn't say a word.

The advisor picked it up and quickly confirmed, "Your majesty, you've sent Noble Lady An to serve you today?" Today, when he went to the Palace of Longevity to pay his respects to the empress dowager, the empress dowager told him that all the people in the palace had been forced to pay respects to the empress, that all the princes had been killed by Rong-er, and that Xuan Ye had not spoken a single word of respect from the empress. He felt an indescribable pain in his heart, and the empress dowager said that there was no wind and no waves, but in fact, Xuan Ye was fond of the palace, and he did not want to hear any bad things about Rong-er, but … Why... Only Rong's children would die from the disease, including the four children. Xuan Ye's head hurt, so he didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't completely … Rong'er … Are you really a scoundrel? This made it hard for him to calm down, so tonight he turned the cards over. This was the first time he turned the cards since Longevity passed away. Let him forget about Rong'er for the time being …

She was so happy that the emperor had turned over her cards once again, and several imperial maids brought her to the East Warm Pavilion to wait for the emperor. Ling Jiao nodded to her with a smile, she knew that Ling Jiao had definitely helped her, and smiled gratefully at her. A month ago, Ling Ying'er had sent a message to her, that her father was currently fighting in the battlefield with her grandfather, and her father was her subordinate, and she, as his daughter, had to help the emperor in this palace. Lee An-zhu was also very surprised. She thought that she might really have to start transporting them. Even if it was the heavens helping her, with Lingxiu by the side of the emperor, she would still know more about the emperor.

Near the end of the night, Xuan Ye was still buried in the ministers' memorial in the study of the West Warm Pavilion in the Palace of Qing-Yun. A letter was presented to him, and Fu Honglie, of Guangxi, wrote quietly to the court: Kong Sizhen, daughter of the late King Dingnan, Kong Youde, misses the Empress Dowager's memory day and night. She has often washed her face with tears, and her husband, Sun Yanxing, has been completely seduced by the scoundrels of Wu Sangui.

In the seven years since Kangxi, this Fu Honglie had intended to betray Wu Sangui, but he was arrested and executed on the charge of framing the King of Pinnan. After that, he had ordered Fu Honglie to avoid death, and was appointed to the army in Guangxi, where he was ordered to monitor the movements of Yunnan. For twelve years, Wu Sangui had betrayed him, and General Sun Yanshui of Guangxi had trusted him with a false treason and accepted a letter from Wu Sangui to win the post of general. He used it as a cover for the recruitment of the loyal army, reporting Wu Sangui's movements to the imperial court.

This Kong Sizhen had grown up in the palace and was greatly loved by the empress dowager. Back when Sun Yanling betrayed the Emperor in Guangxi, the empress dowager was extremely saddened, and now it would be great if she could surrender. Now that Guangdong and Fujian were at peace and Guangxi were at peace, it was possible for them to surround Yunnan. Xuan Ye issued a decree: He ordered the supervising director, Maleji, to bring Kong Sizhen in, not to pursue Sun Yanling's crime, and to confer Kong Sizhen the position of princess.

"Your majesty, it's almost time for it. The Noble Lady An is still waiting." Seeing that Xuan Ye had no intention of resting, the consultant warned him cautiously.

"Oh." Xuan Ye raised his head and remembered that he had turned the tables around today. It had been a long time since he had turned the tables and he had forgotten about it. He nodded and said, "Okay, rest up."

Xuan Ye rubbed his forehead, standing up and walking towards the East Warm Pavilion.

Lee Anzhu was sitting alone in the East Warm Pavilion, waiting for the emperor to return from his rest. Suddenly, a voice came from the door, and she nervously looked at the door, but it didn't take long for Xuan Ye to come in. The several palace maids that accompanied him also came in, and after washing up and changing their clothes, only Xuan Ye and Li Anzhu were left in the room.

He smiled and said, "Noble Lady An, your grandfather and your father have achieved great things on the battlefield again. They have recently obtained many victories, and the Li Clan can be considered as the meritorious general of the Great Qing Empire."

"Really? Grandpa and Ama did it again? "It's really great, it's our Li Clan's honor to be able to relieve the Emperor's worries." Lee Anzhu said happily.

"En!" Xuan Ye nodded his head and lightly rubbed his forehead. There were too many things to think about, so he felt really tired. "Li family has done a great service for you. I won't treat you unfairly. It's getting late. Rest early." After saying this, Xuan Ye lay down.

Lee An-zhu watched as Xuan Ye lay down to sleep. For a moment, he was stunned as well.

"Sleep. This Emperor is very tired. This Emperor wants someone to be by his side." Xuan Ye said in a low voice, not raising his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Lee Anzhu also lay down. Although it was her honor for the emperor to have her by his side, there was always a bit of unwillingness in her heart.

"Your Majesty, if you're tired, chenqie will help you massage it." Are you sure you want to massage my shoulders? " Li An Zhu said softly.

Xuan Ye nodded. "Alright." He turned and lay down on the bed. Li Anzhu hurriedly sat up and rubbed Xuan Ye's shoulder. "Your Majesty, chenqie knows that you've worked hard. On one side is war, and on the other is the prince's death."

Xuan Ye sighed and thought to himself, Li Anzhu normally thought that someone who wasn't very smart would also have a time like this. She nodded and said, "Yes, I hope the heavens bless the clear."

"Your majesty, chenqie has something that I don't know whether to report or not." Li An Zhu continued.

"What is it? Just say it, I won't blame you." Xuan Ye was also curious about what the Noble Lady An had to say.

Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Li An Zhu seriously replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. These days, all the sisters in the palace have been upset over Prince Changsheng's death. However, there are rumors saying that the four princes of Noble Lady Rong died one after the other because of the Noble Lady Rong's nemesis."

Xuan Ye frowned slightly. "What, did you know as well?"

Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Lee Anzhu said, "Could it be that His Majesty already knows?" "Yes, it's all about to be known.

Xuan Ye did not move. His tone was calm as he asked, "Who spread this rumor?"

"Your majesty, chenqie doesn't know either. It's just that everyone in the palace says so now." Lee Anzhu said carefully, unable to figure out Xuan Ye's thoughts.

"Humph!" To spread rumors in the palace, such people should be put to death! " Xuan Ye suddenly said loudly.

Lee Anzhu jumped in fright and murmured, "Yes, Your Majesty, but that's what the people in the palace say. They say Noble Lady Rong is the bane, the bane of one's father, and there's even the possibility of … "Cough, chenqie is worried about the emperor's safety as well …"

"Don't say anymore!" Xuan Ye suddenly sat up and angrily said, "Noble Lady An, I wish to end this here. You are all my concubines, how can there be such a backlash between you two."

Seeing that Xuan Ye had been angered, Lee Anzhu quickly got off the bed and knelt down, "Your Majesty is wise and clear, chenqie is only worried about Your Majesty and not wanting to hurt Noble Lady Rong. Ever since An Zhu entered the palace, she has been like a sister to Noble Lady Rong.

Xuan Ye sighed heavily, "Get up, I know what you're thinking, but don't bring up this matter anymore. Noble Lady Rong has been by my side for more than ten years, if she were to get rid of me, I'm afraid that I would have already lost my life.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Chenqie will never mention it again." Li Anzhu hurriedly replied.

"Alright, rest." After saying that, Xuan Ye lay back down. Lee An-zhu crept up from beside the bed. She did not believe that the Emperor did not doubt her. If the Emperor really did not doubt her, he would not blame her in the slightest. Noble Lady Rong had been favored by Xuan Ye for more than ten years, this should be the end of it.

Xuan Ye's head hurt, and the empress dowager's words once again came to his mind. "Your Majesty, This Dowager also likes Noble Lady Rong, but what if she really does have his life against his husband?"
