”Mm, I remember now that you've said this. I seem to be well versed in my every move. I've thought it strange since long ago, so it's not really impossible.” Xuan Ye said angrily.

”About this, Rong'er also doesn't have any evidence, so the emperor doesn't need to be angry.” Gaylen immediately comforted her.

”Rong'er, this matter is serious, I must ask how you know.” Xuan Ye stared intently at Gai Rong'er.

”This... ”This …” Rong'er didn't know what the emperor thought of this matter. She was afraid that if she said what Xiaoqing said would be detrimental to Xiaoqing.

”Rong'er, don't you believe me? ”Just say it, I won't casually punish people.” Seeming to see through her thoughts, Xuan Ye slowly opened his mouth and said.

”Yes, Rong'er said …” ”When Rong'er was in the boiling water room, the palace maid, Xiaoqing, told the servant that Aunt Cheng and Eunuch Chen from the Internal Affairs Bureau said she overheard every single move of the emperor.” Rong'er honestly told him.

”Oh? As for the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau, I really have no idea how many spies were planted in this palace. ” Xuan Ye laughed coldly as he asked, ”Did she listen carefully?”

”Xiaoqing said she was pretty sure, that's why Rong'er wanted to tell the Emperor to pay attention.” ”Yes,” Gallant replied.

”Hmph, if this is true, I won't forgive her.” Xuan Ye said angrily.

”Good news?” There's a spy around me, or is it a good thing? ” Xuan Ye didn't understand Rong'er's meaning.

”The emperor is really angry and has a brain.” Rong'er said with a smile. The Emperor thought, if that is the case, then doesn't the Emperor want to let you see whatever you see? ”If you're careful when you speak normally, and are careful when doing things, wouldn't that be fine?”

”That's right, I'm so angry that my head is spinning. Perhaps, it might not only be this miraculous effect.” Xuan Ye pondered, then revealed a smile. He then turned to Rong'er and said, ”Rong'er, not only do you know poetry, you're also very talented. Sometimes, I feel that in certain aspects, you're very much like an imperial grandmother.”

”How could Rong'er dare to compare with the empress dowager? The emperor has praised Rong'er too much. Rong'er said as much. The emperor doesn't blame Rong'er for speaking too much.” Rong'er smiled embarrassedly.

”How could that be? Rong'er, you're not only my woman, you're also my woman.” Xuan Ye stared blankly at Rong'er and slowly said, ”I am truly thankful to the gods for bringing you to my side.”

”Rong'er is also very grateful for being able to serve the emperor.”

”Right, your majesty, you haven't seen the empress in days, you should go see her.” Rong'er suddenly said.

Xuan Ye sighed helplessly. ”Rong'er, why do you keep mentioning this to me?”

”Because of the Queen's virtue and filial piety, the Emperor cannot let the Empress down. Rong'er is speaking the truth. ” In the past few days, Rong'er had mentioned to the emperor several times that he wanted the emperor to watch over the empress. Rong'er was sincere, and when she thought of the empress's words to her, she still felt sad. Although the emperor treated her extremely well, as the empress had said, the empress wouldn't monopolize the empress, and she, Gai Rong'er, couldn't do it, especially for the empress.

”Alright, I understand. Can I go and take a look tomorrow? Rong'er, can we rest? ” Xuan Ye said helplessly.

Crouched in the emperor's arms, there were two warm hearts in the cold winter night …
