Behind the screen, the Emperor had a big bald head. He clenched his fists tightly and his face was ashen.
“Your Majesty?” Without waiting for the Emperor’s reaction, Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and decided to turn around and leave.
The Emperor shouted angrily, “Get over here!”
“Oh.” Yan Jiuchao slowly walked over and stood at the side of the screen. He stuck out his little head and looked in, only to see a monk in a dragon robe sitting on the bright bed. “Uh…”
“It’s me!” The Emperor was furious.!!
Yan Jiuchao blinked innocently. “Your Majesty, are you going to become a monk?”
The Emperor picked up the jade pillow beside him and threw it fiercely at Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao tilted his head and dodged it. The Emperor was so angry that he grabbed another one, but this time, he did not throw it out. “Tell me the truth! Did you do it?!”
After thinking about it, the Emperor felt that only this brat dared to be so reckless! Even his own sons didn’t have the guts! As for the motive, was there a need to ask?
He had just suppressed Zhou Huai’s testimony, and he was already shaved into a white chicken. Was this a f*cking coincidence?!
“You… you…”
The Emperor’s lungs were about to explode.
Yan Jiuchao was even more surprised than the Emperor. The Emperor, who was famous everywhere, had become a naked white chicken overnight. His hair was gone, and his eyebrows were gone. He was afraid that even… His gaze swept the Emperor from head to toe. He hummed and said, “So, Your Majesty, you didn’t want to become a monk yourself… It wasn’t me.” He said seriously.
“Who else could it be?!” The Emperor was furious.
Yan Jiuchao said innocently, “Even Your Majesty doesn’t know, let alone me. I don’t live in the palace, right? Besides, why would I do that?”
The Emperor’s chest heaved violently. “You… stop pretending to be stupid! Zhou Huai confessed. He admitted that the military achievements belonged to Yu Shaoqing! General Xiao didn’t hand the list to Yan Congming!”
Yan Jiuchao said, “This is a good thing. Why would I take revenge on Your Majesty? Could it be that… Your Majesty is still unwilling to vindicate Yu Shaoqing when you clearly have the evidence?”
The Emperor was furious at this fellow who was pretending to be stupid. He threw his jade pillow out again.
Yan Jiuchao cleverly dodged it again.
The Emperor had always cherished his hair. In his opinion, this was a symbol of a man’s might and strength. Having thick hair was like a general having his proudest armor. Many ministers faced the dilemma of losing their hair and becoming bald when they entered middle age, but he had a vigorous beard. Every time he saw the envious gazes of the ministers, he felt extremely proud.
Now, the hair he was proud of was gone. The dignified True Dragon had become a naked little silkworm. Who could understand the pain in his heart?!
“It’s really not me,” Yan Jiuchao said. “Uncle, you have strengthened the security of the bedchamber. My sacrificial soldiers can’t break in anymore. Do you think I’m that capable?”
This was the truth. Ever since this kid shaved his legs, the Emperor had arranged for the most powerful sacrificial soldiers of the royal family to be outside his bedchamber. The silver-masked sacrificial soldiers in Yan Jiuchao’s hands were not their match. It was impossible for them to break through their guards without anyone knowing.
So… it really wasn’t him. But if it wasn’t him, who could it be?
“Mom!”
Yu Wan packed her things and prepared to return to the Young Master Manor. She had wanted to return yesterday, but the sky suddenly darkened. Worried that it would rain on the way, she spent the night in the village. The Yu family’s house was being rebuilt, and they were now staying at the Ding family’s new residence.
Madam Jiang walked gently towards Yu Wan.
Yu Wan looked at the hand hidden behind her back and her face darkened. “Mom, did you give them something to eat again?”
Madam Jiang shook her head adorably.
Yu Wan said with a dark expression, “I can smell it! Honey roasted chicken drumstick!”
Madam Jiang: Boo~
The rain from last night did not fall, but today, it came without warning. Yu Wan could only bring the three little fatties back to the house. The little fatties drooled as they rushed into Madam Jiang’s room. Their chubby hands grabbed the sweet roasted chicken leg and started chewing.
The little snow fox also got a big drumstick. It elegantly put on a small handkerchief and started sharing it with the little fat cat that was a full circle bigger than it.
The heavy rain did not arrive in the Capital, but Jiang Hai came back with news. Yan Jiuchao nodded and let Jiang Hai leave.
A heavy rain naturally could not stop him, but he had something very important to do. He knew who had teased the Emperor. Although he could not take the blame, he was happy to add to the fire.
