But after a brief pause, the Emperor returned to normal.

”Let's go to the Crown Prince's Palace to announce the decree.” The Emperor handed the prepared imperial edict to the imperial eunuch. He leaned against the bed, looking somewhat exhausted.

”Your majesty, please take care of yourself. This subject will take her leave now.” Mo Ranran saw and bowed, then slowly left.

Chief Eunuch did not leave with him. Seeing the emperor's slightly exhausted appearance, he wanted to go forward and help him undress.

”Is Your Majesty tired? This servant will take care of you in your bed. ”

”Aren't we being too kind to the Crown Princess today?” The Emperor suddenly asked this question with his brows tightly knitted together. If this were any other day, if someone dared to be so impudent, then he would have beheaded them countless times over already.

”The crown prince's consort had, after all, saved the life of the emperor. It's reasonable that the emperor would be merciful to her.” The Chief Eunuch said with a smile.

As if he were pondering over the words of the Chief Eunuch, after a long while, the Emperor finally said slowly, ”No, it's not because of this.”

”Then why?” Chief Eunuch was puzzled. The Emperor had not seen the Crown Princess many times before, so there was no need to talk about feelings.

”I just feel that her smiling appearance is extremely similar to that of the Consort Ye.” As if recalling something, the emperor's words carried a tinge of sadness.

Chief Eunuch carefully looked at the Emperor's expression and slowly began to speak:

”This... It was probably because the emperor missed the Consort Ye Empress too much that he fell into a hallucination. This is why he felt that the imperial concubine was similar to the Consort Ye Empress. ”

”Is that so?” The Emperor's eyes were filled with helplessness. After a moment of silence, he said, ”You don't need to attend to this place. Go to the crown prince's mansion and do your best if you can help her.”

”Yes.” Surprise flashed past Chief Eunuch's eyes, but he did not reveal it on the surface. However, he thought to himself that he should take this opportunity to befriend the Crown Prince's consort.

Because he didn't know which path Mo Ranran was going to take, Chief Eunuch arrived in front of the Crown Prince's Palace to wait for her.

”Esteemed imperial concubine.” After waiting for a while, Mo Ranran's palanquin finally appeared.

The sedan stopped, Mo Ranran got down from the sedan, and looked at Chief Eunuch suspiciously.

”Is there something the steward wants?”

”The Emperor feared that you would suffer a loss, so he ordered his servant to accompany you to the crown prince's mansion.” After the Chief Eunuch finished bowing, she raised her head and stole a glance at Mo Ranran. If one looked closely, this Mo Mansion lady did indeed resemble the Consort Ye in terms of brows and eyes.

After Mo Ranran heard this, he took off the jade bangle on his wrist and stuffed it into Chief Eunuch's hands.

”It's been hard on you to come with me.”

When they went out today, Ling Wu forced her to wear it. Originally, she did not like to wear jewelry, so it would be better to just be a gift to others.

Mo Ranran's movements were well hidden, and with the sleeves shielding him, no one else could see.

”It's not hard, it's not hard. This is something a servant should do.” The Chief Eunuch accepted the jade bracelet without leaving a trace, fawning on Mo Ranran a little more.

As servants, they needed to spend money on matters of the day. Their monthly salary wasn't enough.
