It was in Qinming Hall of the Palace.

The light was so luminous, illuminating the whole room.

"You haven't found anything strange?"

After hearing the report of Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot Yue Xilou, Huanan Xin didn't release his frowned eyebrows, being still serious and cold.

Then he slowly got up from the chair. With his hands held on his back, Huanan Xin thought and spoke.

"Could it be that you have recognized him mistakenly, and he is wronged?"

Hearing that, Yue Xilou saluted and carefully answered.

"Two years ago, I had ever fought with the Ninth Prince in the western tribes. Until now, I could recognize his way of fighting. And the assassin who occurred in the imperial harem at that night made just the same ways of fighting as those of His Highness..."

"But at that night, people in the Eastern Depot couldn't catch him..."

When Huanan Xin suddenly turned around, he coldly rebuked him. Being astonished, Yue Xilou's expression changed. He hustled to bow and lower his head.

"Huh, the reason for the madness of my Ninth Uncle is that he is always suspected by you those people!"

When Huanan Xin was anxiously rebuking, drenched Commandery Princess Jingle strode into the room.

Eunuch Superintendent Liang Zhen followed while grasping her. The two people went into the hall at the same time.

Seeing anxious Huanan Xin, Liang Zhen was frightened and let Commandery Princess Jingle go. With plenty of sweats on his forehead, he kneeled and sadly said.

"Your Majesty, it's my blame. I couldn't stop Her Highness..."

When Huanan Xin and Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot were discussing in the same room, it must be a great secret. Therefore, no people could stay there. Even the servants must stay on the porch out of the hall.

But now a proud Commandery Princess disobeyed the rule, Liang Zhen as the director of eunuchs must be worried.

Huanan Xin sat in the chair again, shifting his annoying eyes to Commandery Princess Jingle.

The girl was drenched by the rain as her face appeared pale and green.

The long hair which had grown to her waist was drenched and sticky, casually clinging to her arms and back.

The eunuch's suit was wet and coating her delicate body, which outlined a beautiful figure.

The embarrassed appearance of Jingle stirred up Huanan Xin's anxiety. He slightly turned around and said in a hoarse voice.

"Ying'er, you come back and change your garment. I have something to talk about with Yue Xilou, so I will call on you the other day."

Commandery Princess Jingle didn't follow his words but kneeled and seriously kowtowed to the direction of the royal desk.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and question Ninth Uncle tonight. Now for the sake of you, he has been sad and couldn't release his emotion. So he has killed all servants in his mansion!"

"What?"

Huanan Xin was greatly astonished. After a while, he violently clapped the royal desk with his hands.

"He should kill all servants in the Ninth Prince's Mansion? What a mad man!"

As a sharp wind blew, the Chinese art paper in the desk was clapped high in the air, floating as flakes and spreading around the desk.

Those people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion were all dispatched by him as spies to watch out for Huanan He.

But now all of them were killed, which proved that Huanan He was so dissatisfied for the fact that he went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and sounded him out several times.

On one side of the royal desk, Yue Xilou stood with his head slightly lowered as a flicker of a cold smile crossed in his handsome face.

At that time, he and Huanan Xin held the same idea.

The fact that servants in the Ninth Prince's Mansion were killed showed Huanan He's rebellious idea to the royalty. And Yue Xilou had already illustrated that thing to Huanan Xin.

The anxious roar of Huanan Xin made Commandery Princess Jingle astonished. As she slightly trembled, she was indignant and lowered her mouth.

"Your Majesty, why should you blame Ninth Uncle? He is always so, which you should know! It is you that suspect him first! Should you not allow him to kill some people to release his indignation?"

"Ridiculous!"

Being anxious, Huanan Xin glared at Commandery Princess Jingle with dark eyes.

"As a Commandery Princess, you should say such a ridiculous word! Servants are also people whose lives are of great significance. Even if he is a member of the royalty, he kills ignorant people! I will never tolerate him!"

"What do you want to do?"

Commandery Princess Jingle was also stubborn, and then she got up and fiercely waved her wet and disorderly hair.

She raised her buxom chest and walked to one side of the royal desk. Confronted with Huanan Xin, she patted her belly.

"Anyhow, I have dedicated myself to Ninth Uncle. If you want to hurt him, you just see I become a widow! And the baby in my belly will be born with no father!"

"You..." Huanan Xin couldn't say anything.

In the dark, Yue Xilou insidiously squinted, somewhat blaming Commandery Princess Jingle for her extra behavior.

Then he changed his expression, flatteringly walked close to her, and kindly persuaded,

"Your Highness, what you say is related to your reputation. You should be serious."

"What do you mean?!"

Commandery Princess Jingle's face slightly changed.

To be honest, she couldn't distinguish what she and Huanan He had experienced.

While considering, she looked at Yue Xilou's sharp eyes with her blank eyes.

Commandery Princess Jingle felt a little guilty, but then for this guilty emotion, she became more excited.

"Master Yue, now that you know the fact that the words are related to my reputation, couldn't I know that? So will I casually say so? In the noon, I went out of the Palace and until now I come back. It has taken several hours! All reasonable things have happened! So, you, a eunuch, should care about such things?"

With hands held on her waists, Commandery Princess Jingle said sharp words as fierce as a gun.

Yue Xilou suddenly blushed as he nodded and smiled. But he didn't give up.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I just think the thing is incredible. Even an immortal couldn't be pregnant as soon as he makes s*x?"

"So what?"

As Commandery Princess Jingle appeared some embarrassment in her face, she anxiously pushed Yue Xilou with her body and tried to argue.

"Anyhow, even if I fail now, I will also be pregnant later. When the husband was killed in the court, his wife got pregnant in the mourning hall. Such things are not rare. Do you dare to bet my happiness in the whole life?"

"..."

Yue Xilou was stunned and couldn't say anything.

"Ying'er, you tell me. The thing between you and Ninth Uncle is true or not?"

The golden figure quickly walked to Commandery Princess Jingle when Huanan Xin tried to smile.

Commandery Princess Jingle was determined and appeared proud on her face.

"Of course. At noon, I went to his mansion. At that time, he drank a lot and embraced me, trying to do such things. I considered I would marry him sooner or later, so I followed his demand. Your Majesty, Ninth Uncle is so mild and gentle..."

"Aye yo! Okay, be quick to stop your words!"

As Huanan Xin waved hands to her, he shifted his eyes to the side.

At that time, he could only believe that it was his extra doubt and preferential thought to Yue Xilou that made such a terrible thing.

As Commandery Princess Jingle said, even a mad girl must think highly of her reputation.

Now in the presence of the crowd, she dared to say that she had devoted herself to Huanan He. It must be the truth.

He was after all an emperor, so he couldn't let the maid check Commandery Princess Jingle's body just for such a thing.

At that time, he hadn't grasped Huanan He's disadvantages. Instead, the spies dispatched by him in Ninth Prince's Mansion were exposed. It was really a great loss.

Eventually, Huanan Xin put all his annoyance to Yue Xilou, turning around and shouting to him.

"Get out! Useless servant!"

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Yue Xilou's pale face became dimmer as he tried to refrain and gritted, carefully saluting and going out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, don't always believe that eunuch. As a bystander, I could clearly understand that he is making mischief between you and Ninth Uncle."

For revenge, after Yue Xilou left, Commandery Princess Jingle greatly painted him black in the presence of Huanan Xin.

Despite Commandery Princess Jingle's drenched garment, Huanan Xin pretended to be careful. He embraced half of her shoulders with his arm, smiling and asking.

"I clearly know that thing. If he does something terrible again, I will remove his position as Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot and let him take tasks in the palace residences of concubines."

"Okay, okay! You are so sensible!"

Commandery Princess Jingle happily clapped as she didn't think about Huanan Xin's sudden enthusiasm.

As Huanan Xin's eyelashes slightly moved, he turned to ask.

"Ying'er, you tell me. Do you really like Ninth Uncle?"

Commandery Princess Jingle answered without hesitation.

"Of course, I... I have devoted myself to him. If not, why I follow him...?"

Commandery Princess Jingle blushed and said in a lower and lower voice, as slight as that of a baby swallow twittering.

Huanan Xin cutely smiled.

"So, he as a man should take duty on what he had down. Well... I will make a decree on one day and let you and Ninth Uncle get married."

The thing today was both great and bad. He as an emperor didn't just take no benefits at all.

Commandery Princess Jingle had been related with Huanan He and they had made s*x. Therefore, Gu Yunxi could only stop her mind, staying in the imperial harem and serving him.

Commandery Princess Jingle was stunned for a while, and then she was surprised and cried.

"Really? Your Majesty, do you allow me to be the Ninth Princess?"

Huanan Xin lowered his mouth and smiled.

"So, could I see you are abandoned by him?"

Commandery Princess Jingle grasped Huanan Xin's one arm and waved it, stomping and fawning.

"Ninth Uncle will never abandon me! He will not do so!"

"Okay, okay! He will not do so!"

Huanan Xin refrained his anxiety, hypocritically smiling and pushing Commandery Princess Jingle away.

"It is late now. You just come back. I have something to deal with, so I will not accompany you."

Commandery Princess Jingle was happy, and then she seriously crouched and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please care about your body. I just leave there now."

When she went out of the hall, the heavy rain had already disappeared. In the sky, the thick clouds had disappeared and some blinking stars occurred.

Commandery Princess Jingle gradually walked down from marble steps. Seeming to be relaxed, she made a deep sigh.

She raised her head and looked at the sky, sadly frowning and muttering.

"Ninth Uncle, I believe you. You have never been to Yonglu Temple! Absolutely!"

...

Yue Xilou went back to the Imperial Ceremony Office in annoyance.

Leshuang went close to him and smiled.

"Godfather, you come back! Sit down, please."

He lowered his waist and held Yue Xilou to sit on a rose chair, turning around and holding the teacup on the table with his hands.

"It is Lu’an Tea newly made. I don't know when you come back. The water is a little hot. Please slowly drink it."

When Yue Xilou slowly drank the tea, Leshuang crouched and held one leg of Yue Xilou on his shoulder, helping him take off the wet boot and wear a dry one. Then Leshuang kneaded his legs and carefully served him.

There was only a five-year-old difference between them. But Yue Xilou commanded the Eastern Depot and the Imperial Ceremony Office, being superior and powerful.

Around him, someone who shared the familiar age tried to flatter him. So, plenty of people even called him "grandfather", let alone called him "godfather" like Leshuang.

Yue Xilou tried to calm himself down, shifting his low eyes to Leshuang.

"It is not your shift today. Why do you come here?"

Leshuang appeared calm and smiled.

"I heard that as soon as you went out of the Palace, you lead people in taking tasks. I am afraid that you might have something to deal with, so I come here to wait for you. Godfather, when you finish the tasks, there must be an understanding person serving you, right?"

Yue Xilou tried to smile.

"Okay, you get the news so quickly."

"It is your great teaching, godfather. You have told me that we should watch out for everything and be flexible."

Yue Xilou thought for a while, softly putting the cup down. He seriously stared at Leshuang's delicate face.

"Who gives the eunuch suit to Commandery Princess Jingle?"

Leshuang still kneaded legs for him without any stop, casually answering.

"Has Commandery Princess Jingle gone out of the Palace again? At noon, when I went to the Imperial Ceremony Office, I happened to see her asking one eunuch for the suit. The eunuch was punished by me, but I don't know where she went and how she asked for another eunuch suit."

Yue Xilou nodded.

"You take a great thing. The mad person, Huanan He, is so crafty. He should charm Commandery Princess Jingle. The silly woman just wants to be Ninth Princess. What a silly idea!"

Leshuang quietly listened as two crafty lights suddenly occurred in his eyes.

"Godfather, what is the task His Majesty has delivered to you?"

Yue Xilou immediately turned to be anxious, and then he kicked Leshuang away and coldly warned.

"I have said you don't ask what you should not ask!"
