Under the sullen gaze of the Emperor, Huanan He calmly walked to the table and held up the sweet white porcelain bowl to show around. His eyes were as cold as an ice cone, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Look at this soup first. If I'm not mistaken, there should be shark fin, sea cucumber, flower glue, and so on in this small soup cup."
"Not to mention the first two, this flower glue alone is the scarcest ingredient in the eight treasures of the seafood."
"The value of 50g flower glue is hard to find. Even the first-class officials in the court can't afford to eat it once or twice a year."
"Since the riots broke out in the northwest, I left the capital for a tour. Along the way, I saw countless hungry people in the northwest. It was unbearable to be displaced. Many people had to eat clay to satisfy their hunger."
"However, what is your favorite imperial concubine doing, eating and playing all day?"
"As the Emperor of a country, you don't restrict her, so you really don't feel guilty to the people all over the world?"
"Shut up!"
Huanan Xin was shocked and shook his sleeve severely. He stared at the silver-haired man and was about to be angry. Suddenly, he was interrupted by bursts of broken sound.
On his side, he saw Gu Yunxi gasping fiercely with her red eyes towards the delicacies on the ground. She looked up and said angrily, "Huanan He, I'm sure I'm right. From beginning to end, you're the only one you love. You can pretend to be a saint in front of everyone, talk about reason enthusiastically, and worry about the world."
"But I am different. I am a woman. My world is very narrow. There are only families, relatives, and lovers."
"Now in the imperial harem, like those women, I just want to get more favor from His Majesty."
"Cooking is just an ordinary woman's duty, and I rely on my own strengths to get His Majesty's favor. What's wrong with me?"
"I know what I'm doing, so I don't need anyone to point out my fault in front of me, and I don't need you to teach me how to be a person!"
Huanan He was depressed and felt incredible.
He listened to the tone of the woman's voice and her almost crazy roar. It seemed that she was venting the grievances she had suppressed for many years to a particularly familiar person, without worrying about the manners and dignity of being a concubine.
But he and she clearly met for the first time.
In a moment, Huanan He shook his head and sneered, "What are you talking about? Are you crazy? I'm sure you're a real disaster to the country and the people. Look at the food on the ground that you smashed at will when you were excited. Isn't it enough to prove that your life is wasteful and unrestrained?"
"Well, leave this bowl of Jumbo Seafood Soup for yourself. I just hope you won't be short-lived. The more you eat precious food, the faster you die!"
The white bowl was smashed hard on the table. Huanan He arched his hands at the Emperor and angrily walked out of the hall.
"Ninth Uncle, wait for me!"
Commandery Princess Jingle was dissatisfied with being left behind by him. She crossed Gu Yunxi and was about to chase the man. She was stopped by the Emperor, "Wait, when will I let you go?"
"Brother, what do you do?"
The girl was blocked by the bodyguard's crossbar. She looked at the unprotected weapon and felt afraid.
Huanan Xin's cold eyes narrowed, "Jingle, I think you have grown up and don't need to be raised by Her Grace. I'll give you 'Shuofeng Hall'. You immediately follow the eunuch and don't have to go back to Cining Palace again."
The girl was frightened and shook her head, "Brother, I won't go to Shuofeng Hall. It's remote. I'm afraid. I want to see Her Grace!"
Huanan Xin raised the lips and laughed fiercely, "What are you afraid of? I'll send more elderly nannies to take care of you and teach you the rules of the palace. Also, don't call me 'Brother' next time you see me. You have to call me 'Your Majesty'!"
The girl was speechless, took a few cold breaths, and looked at the Emperor's eyes, filled with tears.
Huanan Xin turned around and gave impatient orders, "Take her away. I don't want to see her again—"
Without giving an opportunity to explain, the eunuchs grabbed Jingle's arms and dragged her outside the hall, followed by the bodyguards.
The girl's cry of fear and helplessness sounded all the way and gradually moved away.
"Brother, why do you treat me like this? I want to see Her Grace. I won't go to Shuofeng Hall—"
While the palace maids were cleaning the hall, Huanan Xin walked into the bedroom and drugged Yunxi's face in person.
Gu Yunxi coldly pushed away the Emperor's hand holding cotton wool and retreated to one side.
Huanan Xin reluctantly put the medicine bottle and sighed gloomily, "Yunxi, I know why you are angry."
After calming down, he continued, “A year and a half ago, you fell into a pool of blood. Everyone thought you were dead. When Uncle was strongly stimulated by that scene and his internal power broke out. Yue Xilou blocked his main acupoint to save him. For a moment, his blood flowed back and his hair turned white. When he woke up, his former memory disappeared, and he became crazy and moody.”
Gu Yunxi's eyes expanded to the limit because of shock.
Did he lose his memory?
Is this true, or did he deliberately imitate the former Huanan Xin and pretend to be crazy in order to survive temporarily?
The woman turned angrily, her face was cold and clear, and she forced the Emperor step by step, "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. It's Your Majesty who left your Uncle with you to show your benevolence to the people over the world. It really deserves your title of 'Benevolence'".
"Internally, you can also take out such a card at an appropriate time to test my decision, and give me some embarrassment in front of the public."
"Yunxi, you misunderstood me!"
Huanan Xin rushed up in a hurry. His hot big hand wrapped around the woman's shoulders and quickly explained, "I didn't. I never thought of using him to test you. Yunxi, I have confidence in myself. I can get your love only by my ability. Why do I need to test? You don't know how happy I am after hearing what you said to Uncle and what you said to Solo and his wife at that time."
"Today's incident was originally an accident. How can I be willing to send Jingle to smash the palace to test you? How can I bear to humiliate my woman?"
After waiting for a moment, Gu Yunxi didn't respond. She stubbornly deflected her head. Two glistening tears slid down her swollen cheeks.
Seeing this, Huanan Xin felt a heart soften and became like warm water like tears.
He held the woman's face and vowed, "I'll give you an account of this matter. You keep it safe tonight. I'll deal with the matter at hand and come back early to see you."
After appeasing the beauty, the Emperor stepped out of the hall and came to the courtyard. Yue Xilou immediately followed up.
South China Xin's eyebrows didn't raise, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you think of their meeting?"
Yue Xilou whispered to the Emperor and leaned back to one side.
Huanan Xin smiled and said coldly, "Your words are very agreeable to me. Just take the people in the Imperial Ceremony Office and immediately replace all the maids and eunuchs over there. From now on, no one is allowed to send any more information to her, otherwise, he will be killed without amnesty!"

The night was quiet and the candle light twinkled.
Zhiqi changed a new medicine for Gu Yunxi's injured arm. When wrapping the wound belt, she said in a sad voice, "Master, you have suffered too much in this palace. The bowl of Jumbo Seafood was originally made to heal this wound as soon as possible, but now it has been misunderstood by His Highness. He doesn't know that your wound was caused by him."
Gu Yunxi smiled calmly, "Isn't that good? I can just make use of the chance. After meeting my husband, I can deal with the mastermind behind the scenes with the Emperor's hand."
Zhiqi bit her lip, "Master, how do you know that the person who wants to test you is not His Majesty?"
Gu Yunxi slowly rolled down her long sleeve and said with a smile, "Originally, when His Majesty came, I was convinced that he deliberately arranged this game for temptation."
"But then His Majesty said that the Ninth Prince had lost his memory, which forced me to overturn all my previous guesses."
"A person with amnesia and madness is useless to His Majesty. However, in the eyes of others, it is very likely to successfully contain His Majesty."
"However, in this way, the man behind the scenes is a little overburdened. After all, His Majesty was no longer Prince Chen who used to be alone."
Her eyes flashed with cleverness, and she glanced at Zhiqi who was still thinking hard. Gu Yunxi smiled with confidence, "Early tomorrow morning, you have people waiting in the courtyard, and the Shelves Library will send gifts again."
"Yes," Zhiqi smiled knowingly and arranged the quilt for Gu Yunxi, "It's getting late, Master. Take a rest."
The bed curtains closed, and Gu Yunxi fell into meditation in the secret and quiet space.
Gu Yunxi believed that her husband Huanan He was strongly stimulated when he saw his lover die, causing his hair to turn white immediately after the outbreak of internal strength.
Gu Yunxi also believed that for the safety of the Emperor, Yue Xilou blocked Huanan He's three main acupoints in time.
However, her husband lost his memory and was crazy, and Gu Yunxi was still skeptical about it.
If she wanted to find out whether he really lost his memory or disguised it, she had to find a way to find a reliable person to investigate it carefully.

In the Cining Palace, Imperial Mother Xiao was sitting facing the bronze mirror, and her heavy headdress had been removed completely.
On her side, Tongjiang held a white jade roll and was gently grinding every inch of her Master's facial skin.
The two main stones on the white jade roll combine the purity of Yin and Yang and were polished with fine materials. It was oval, about three inches long. One had a smooth surface and the other had an unsmooth surface. There were holes in them, which were penetrated by red gold shaft strips. The two jade stones were connected by jade columns inlaid with gold and jade.
Before going to bed every night, after removing her makeup, Imperial Mother Xiao first rolled her face with a thorny side, and then rolled her skin with a smooth side.
In this way, she sat in front of the dressing table for an hour.
After that, after being nursed with a white jade roll, her face was white and red. And the color of her face was gorgeous, just like she had drunk aged wine. The skin was smooth and full of water.
Outside the window, the water in the water clock dripped down Dendrobium, with a slight sound.
The woman closed her eyes and narrowed her eyebrows, "Hasn't the news come back yet? Why hasn't Jingle come back?"
Tongjiang glanced out of the window, but her movements were steady but did not stop, "There is the Ninth Prince with her. Even if she makes trouble, she won't have an accident. I'm afraid she'll annoy His Majesty in the end."
"So what?" Imperial Mother Xiao hummed deeply, and her eyes didn't raise half a minute.
"If it hadn't been for the hot vixen and the people in the Eastern Depot who protected the Emperor when he was in trouble, I wouldn't have allowed her to stay in the imperial harem for a year and a half."
"Now the Emperor has fantasies about the hot vixen. It's no way for him to escape the truth. Almost all people believed she wanted to sleep with the Emperor, but I didn't. Even if it is true, I won't let such a woman be favored by the Emperor... "
The anxious voice of the eunuch came into the bedroom through a curtain.
"Your Grace, something bad happened. Lord Yue of the Eastern Depot led people into the Cining Palace."
The woman's radiant face in the bronze mirror suddenly changed...
