Rong'er thought to himself, ”Perhaps I never dreamed that such a thing would happen. When the nobility said that the Emperor was in danger, my mind went blank. Looking at the noble's pained and helpless expression, I knew there must be something going on, but I didn't have enough time to ask. I just wanted to get to the emperor's side as soon as possible.”

Rong'er had been feeling a little uneasy all this time. She didn't know why, but after dinner, her counselor came to tell her to go to the Manchu palace to sleep. The king had been having a headache recently for Xaxa, and she thought that he had a lot of loose ends to deal with, so she decided to stay with him.

When Rong'er arrived at the palace, Xuan Ye was sitting on his desk, attentively looking at something. Seeing Rong'er enter, he only gave her a slight smile. After all these years of habit, they had a tacit understanding. Rong'er didn't speak, but instead walked over to Xuan Ye's side and gently rubbed his shoulder. Xuan Ye was also peacefully enjoying his son's service. When Xuan Ye was busy at night, Rong'er didn't disturb him. She just wanted to quietly take care of him and massage his shoulders while he poured tea for him.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xuan Ye lightly pulled Rong'er to sit by her side, and gave her a smile. Without saying anything, she buried her head in the imperial report, and Rong'er knew that Xuan Ye was afraid that she would be tired. In fact, being able to serve Xuan Ye was actually very sweet, and being able to be invited by Xuan Ye was even sweeter, so she listened and quietly sat by his side, watching him earnestly handle the matters of the imperial court.

Young Master Qing, Palace Maiden Yuan Yi brought the tea in, Rong'er stood up and walked over, wanting to take the tea away. Whenever she was by Xuan Ye's side, she would personally take care of Xuan Ye's business, maybe Yuan Yi had let go of her hand too quickly, and Rong'er had not even caught it yet, when, with a 'bam' sound, the tea tray and bowl fell to the ground together.

Xuan Ye was obviously shocked, he raised his head and looked at the two of them. Yuan Yi and the rest quickly kneeled on the ground, saying in a clear voice: ”It was my bad, your majesty, Imperial Concubine Rong, please punish me!”

Xuan Ye looked at Yuan Yi and couldn't help but to be moved. After calming himself down, he said softly, ”It's alright. Let's clean up a bit.” Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and said with a smile, ”Imperial Concubine Rong, don't be busy. Come sit beside me. Let the palace maids carry these tea matters.”

Rong'er didn't argue, but nodded and sat down next to Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye gave Yuan Yi a deep look before sitting down on the bed again.

Rong'er, on the other hand, stared at the kneeling Yuan Yi, who was busy cleaning up the mess. She couldn't help but recall the expression on Xuan Ye's face just now.

Sure enough, after Yuan Yi finished packing up and left, Xuan Ye raised his head and looked at Rong'er, saying gently, ”Rong'er, do you know what I thought of that fall just now?”

”If chenqie's guess is correct, then the Emperor must be reminded of what chenqie did back then. At that time, chenqie had accidentally caused a ruckus.” Rong'er smiled.

”Haha!” The one who knows me is not Rong'er, you know, Rong'er? I have been on the throne for so many years, and it was only you two who dared to knock something over in front of me! ” Xuan Ye laughed.

”We all did it unintentionally. We knew the emperor wouldn't blame us.” Rong'er had a cute expression on her face.

Xuan Ye laughed out loud. He suddenly straightened his expression and said, ”This Yuan Yi is a talented person. I can't bear for her to be a servant or a servant in this palace all his life. I really want to find a good family for her.”

”Oh? The Emperor even had such a thought? ” Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye in amusement.

Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er's expression and sighed helplessly, ”Imperial Concubine Rong, you think I'm joking. I'm serious, this Yuan Yi's father died because of some injustice, I shouldn't have let his daughter enter the palace as a slave. This matter was too hasty.”

Rong'er nodded. ”What about the lady?”

”She said that she doesn't want to get married, and I am not willing to force her!” Xuan Ye let out a light sigh, and picked up another paper from the table, saying to Rong'er, ”Rong'er, I've never been able to understand why this Rakshasi came back again. ”They clearly suffered a crushing defeat last time. There's no reason for them to make a comeback so quickly. Zhen feels that something is amiss here, but Zhen really can't figure it out …”

”Is the Emperor worried about this today?” Rong'er asked softly.
