Rong'er came out of the palace gate, accompanied by Rong'er to sacrifice his father's soul;
Thuen Rongjia because of the glory, all moved in the heart.
Rong'er looked at the clothing of the eunuch in front of him and frowned slightly. He then looked at the consultant who brought the clothes over, ”Eunuch Gu, this … Does the Emperor want me to wear this? ”
”Yes, Young Lord Rong. Tomorrow morning, when the emperor is in court, this servant will come to pick you up. The emperor, I, along with you and my guard Cao Yin, will be leaving the palace together.” The consultant nodded and said.
”Alright, I understand. I'll be troubling Eunuch Gu then.” Rong'er nodded in agreement.
”Alright, then I'll take my leave first. Tomorrow morning, Young Master Rong will be waiting for me. Don't forget to not let anyone else know.” With that, the advisory firm backed off.
Little Qing looked at Rong'er in confusion. ”What kind of play is the emperor singing about?”
”The Emperor is taking me home.” Rong'er said softly, ”Xiao Qing, only you, me, and Su Ya know about this. Tomorrow, I will secretly leave the palace with His Majesty, and don't let them know about the other palace maids, just say that I'm not feeling well, and don't come scratch me. Even if someone comes to visit, they'll all stop me, so don't let anyone know.”
Little Qing solemnly nodded. ”Mistress, don't worry.”
The next morning, Rong'er sent out the other palace maids to handle some matters, leaving Su Ya and Xiaoqing by her side. Xiaoqing looked at Rong'er, who was dressed in eunuch attire, and grinned.
Rong'er frowned, ”Xiao Qing, what are you laughing about? Is it really that ugly?”
”No …” ”It's not …” Little Qing smiled. ”I feel like Master is really a handsome young eunuch in this outfit.”
”Come on, Xiaoqing, you're still making fun of me.” Rong'er gently shook his head.
At this moment, Su Ya came in, ”Mistress, Eunuch Gu is here. Please come out.”
Rong'er walked out of the room, while the consultant waited at the door. He said in a low voice, ”Master, let's go. The emperor is waiting for you at the Chastity Gate.”
Rong'er nodded and said a few words to Xiaoqing and Su Ya before leaving with the counselor. The counselor told her to lower her head and cover her face with the brim of her hat, and she did as she was told, and along the way, she met two or three court ladies bowing to the advisor. After all, the counselor shop was currently a popular place beside the emperor, so the people of the palace still respected them. From afar, the emperor was actually dressed as a young eunuch.
Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er, who was being led in by the consultant. He smiled and said, ”Eunuch Gu, please lead me and Eunuch Rong out.”
”Yes, Your Majesty.” The counselor then handed Rong'er a badge and said, ”Young master, this is the badge used to enter and exit the palace. The Emperor and Master Cao will both be together.
Rong'er took it over and left first. Xuan Ye and Cao Yin followed closely behind, with Rong'er at the back. The four of them arrived at the entrance of the palace.
The gate of the Shenyang Gate was used for the entrance of the palace. The soldiers guarding the gate recognized Cao Yin and the counsellor, and said with a smile, ”Eunuch Gu and Master Cao, are you coming out of the palace together?”
”That's right, the emperor ordered us to leave the palace to take care of some errands. These two eunuchs followed us out and received their identity tokens as well.” The consultant said.
”Alright, please show me your identity cards.” The guard said to Xuan Ye and Rong'er. The two of them didn't dare to raise their heads and only displayed their identity cards before following the consultant out of the palace.
Outside the entrance of the Divine Martial Gate, a small carriage prepared by Cao Cao was already waiting for them. Rong'er, Xuan Ye and the counselors entered the carriage. Cao Yin sat beside the carriage driver and the carriage sped towards Rong'er's house.
Rong'er heaved a sigh of relief as he sat in the carriage. ”Your majesty, you scared this subject to death.”
Xuan Ye chuckled. ”What's there to be afraid of? If you come out with me, what else can you do? I'll tell Rong'er in secret. After paying my respects, I often sneak out of the palace.”
”Huh?” Rong'er's eyes widened in surprise.
”Rong'er, actually, I wanted to walk among the commoners to see if the commoners were satisfied with my title.” Rong'er, actually, I wanted to walk among the commoners to see if the commoners were satisfied with my title. Xuan Ye said softly.
Rong'er nodded. ”His Majesty is right. His Majesty can see the people's lives with his own eyes, more than the ministers can describe them with a hundred words.”
”That's right!” Xuan Ye chuckled. ”Rong'er, this is my last secret from you, and I've let you know. Honestly speaking, the matter of me leaving the palace is extremely secretive, and very few people in the imperial harem know of it. Even my royal grandmother was not told to prevent her from worrying.”
Rong'er frowned slightly. ”But Your Majesty, it's very dangerous for you to bring only two people out of the palace.”
”Haha.” Xuan Ye smiled. ”Rong'er, if I were the emperor, then I'd be in great danger, but I'm slightly convinced. Who knows if I'm the emperor, no one knows, then I'm just an ordinary person. Ordinary people won't be in any danger, at least haven't they been very safe for the past few years?”
Rong'er nodded lightly. ”Although what the emperor said is reasonable, we should still pay more attention to safety. After all, the emperor has an esteemed body.”
”Alright, I got it.” ”I was afraid that you'd be worried, so I didn't dare to tell you.”
After the carriage had driven for a while, Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and said softly, ”Rong'er, when we arrive at your house, the advisory board and Cao Yin will read out the imperial edict. We pretended to be accompanying the eunuch, so don't expose our identity.
