Chapter 1827: Chapter 1824: Visiting

Emperor Xuanming put down the brush in his hand and looked up, asking, “What is it?”

“Your Majesty, tonight I…” Xiao Tianhao quickly reported the matter. At this moment, there were only two people in the hall. After listening, Emperor Xuanming squinted his eyes: “Present it.”

Emperor Xuanming quickly finished reading the contents of the secret message, his sharp eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly: “Continue the investigation, don’t hold back. How dare they use such vile drugs in the capital!”

“Your Majesty, I have discussed with Lord Chu and decided to lure the enemy into a trap to catch the mastermind behind this, but it may take a few more days.” Xiao Tianhao spoke tactfully. Although, according to Chu Heng, the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border would definitely make a move, the exact timing was unpredictable. He had to explain clearly to the Emperor.

Clad in a dragon robe, Emperor Xuanming’s inherent aura was further enhanced by an unmistakable murderous intent. One couldn’t easily discern his true thoughts.

“Are you confident?” Emperor Xuanming casually asked while slowly stroking the ring on his finger.

Xiao Tianhao couldn’t guess the Emperor’s thoughts and spoke honestly: “Only sixty percent confident.”

“And with Minister Chu?”

“It should be eighty percent.”

Emperor Xuanming did not speak again. After a while, the entire hall remained very quiet. Xiao Tianhao, not having been told to rise, continued kneeling with neither arrogance nor fear, without making a sound.

It wasn’t until his legs grew sore that he heard Emperor Xuanming’s voice from above: “Then I entrust this matter to the two of you.”

“Yes, I accept the order.” Xiao Tianhao thought that was the end of it.

But before leaving, Emperor Xuanming seemed to ask casually: “Is Minister Chu’s family well?”

“In response to the Emperor, Madam Chu is well, it was good fortune…” Xiao Tianhao then remembered that he hadn’t reported how the involvement of Chu Heng was revealed because the Southern Border Witch Doctor poisoned Ye Muyu and accidentally exposed themselves.

Emperor Xuanming listened, and couldn’t help but smile: “Indeed, quite lucky. Fortune is a blessing.”

“You may leave.” Emperor Xuanming waved his hand.

Xiao Tianhao didn’t quite understand the meaning behind those words. Once he left, he realized that Emperor Xuanming seemed to be genuinely in a good mood?

Although unsure why this matter pleased the Emperor, he couldn’t help but admire Lord Chu’s fortunate fate.

To marry a capable wife who doesn’t hold one back is indeed a blessing.

After a moment of inner envy, he composed his thoughts and quickly left the palace.

Ye Muyu had only taken two days to recover before continuing her medical studies with Lu Sangqi at the Lu Family Medical Hall.

On this day, after Lu Sangqi explained some pharmacology to her, a servant boy came to the door, knocking.

Su Mei had just served fresh tea for the two of them. Upon hearing the knock, she set down the teapot and stood up to open the door.

The servant boy quickly entered, hesitating a bit upon seeing Ye Muyu.

Lu Sangqi asked, “What is it?”

The servant boy, with any apprehension dispelled by Lu Sangqi’s casual demeanor, blurted out: “Master, someone from the Princess’ Mansion has come to invite you to the residence to see the Young Prince.”

Lu Sangqi raised an eyebrow in slight surprise: “Right now?”

“Yes, the people from the Princess’ Mansion seem quite anxious. They rushed over by carriage and will ensure your transportation,” the servant boy earnestly nodded.

“Alright, tell them to wait a moment, I’ll change my clothes,” Lu Sangqi instructed.
