Chu Xun had just exited from Prince Chen's place when he came across Xiao gonggong who was now serving Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty sent laonu for you. Her Majesty said, no matter how busy Your Majesty is, you can't forget your own mother." Finished saying Xiao gonggong looked around and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you alone? Where is Xiao Jing Zi?"

The moment Chu Xun saw Xiao gonggong he knew it was bad!

After Empress Dowager lost the late Emperor, her only concern was Chu Xun. But Chu Xun had grown up, his heart had turned bigger too yet the place he had for his mother had unknowingly became smaller.

Chu Xun drubbed his feet, "Ai, that is a long story. Zhen will now visit Imperial Mother."

By the time the matters around Chu Xun had finally stopped, the Emperor jogged quickly back to the Ming Jue Palace.

"Where is Qian Deng?!"

Mei Qian Deng's room was empty. Chu Xun felt uneasy in his heart and his face paled.

A palace maid answered, "Big Sister Zhu Li took Young Miss to take a bath. Lord Zhao and the others are in the side palace drinking tea. His Highness Xi Yan is here too."

Chu Xun was relieved. He immediately went to the side palace.

He only saw many people inside a room. Xie Yun was playing with Xiao Jian. Mo Nian Yuan had come too, standing at the side while watching Xiao Jian playing. Zhao Mo Ran and Di Mu Yang were talking with Eldest Young Master Mei. It was very lively.

Little General Di's nose was far better than dog. From afar, he had already smelled Chu Xun. When he saw Chu Xun entered, he ran over with a whoosh. "Your Majesty, you're back." It attracted everyone in the room to pay respect to Chu Xun in succession.

Chu Xun looked at Mo Nian Yuan, "Why are you all here?"

Mo Nian Yuan said, "Replying to Your Majesty, at afternoon Little General Di came seeking for Grand Princess. He said Young Master Mei had returned so he wanted to bring Xiao Jian over for Young Master to have a look. Coincidentally, this humble one was there too so I came along. This humble one had not meet Young Master even once for five years already and Xiao Jian had grown this much already."

Indeed, Xiao Jian was already seven years old. He was greatly cared by the Grand Princess. A white and beautiful little toddler, just by standing there, he gave out an air of cleverness and nobility. Those unaware wouldn't be able to see through that this child was just adopted at all.

Xiao Jian put down a cold needle of Xie Yun. With an appealing voice he called Chu Xun, "Dada." It was still the same address he knew back when he had just learn how to speak. Chu Xun was used hearing it so he didn't make him to change it. "Uncle said he wants to bring Xi Yan to meet the other uncle that Xi Yan is indebted with. That time Xi Yan is too young, Xi Yan can't remember that little uncle already."

"Not little uncle, but little aunt[1]."

"???" Xiao Jian was terrified as he looked at Mo Nian Yuan.

"Zhen is your uncle nominally. That person, zhen wants to be with her so she is little aunt."

"!!!" Xiao Jian was even more terrified as he stared at Chu Xun. Wasn't that person an uncle?! It was impossible for two men to marry.

Chu Xun was too lazy to explain to Xiao Jian. He only instructed, "When you see her, don't say your name is Xi Yan. She will surely hate it in her heart. You're just Xiao Jian, understand?"

The young His Highness Xi Yan who was previously Xiao Jian nodded his head.

Chu Xun had a second thought: Zhu Li had taken Qian Deng to take a bath for so long already. They couldn't be in trouble right? Thinking so, he turned around and went out, "Everyone, please be seated. Zhen will go and have a look."

Chu Xun turned around the courtyard three times yet Zhu Li and Mei Qian Deng never appeared.

Unable to wait any further, he decided to take a look at the bathroom.

In any case, she would be his sooner or later. If he saw things he shouldn't see, he would still take responsible of it.

Just as he about to reach the bathroom, Chu Xun's steps halted. His intellect brightened up. He suddenly remembered someone. It was due to him previously seeing Xiao Jian who was adopted by the remarried Grand Princess and Nan Bai Cheng——the Grand Princess' former husband, Bai Qiu Qu.

Prince Chen said, the mastermind behind the assassination was possibly someone they had overlooked for a long time.

They didn't consider Bai Qiu Qu much. The status as a fuma had never been taken seriously by others, it was only a husband who lived off a woman.

And Bai Qiu Qu matched with another trait. That year, Prince Chen had abandoned him due to the Qing Feng Ming Yue Brothel's case, turning him into a wandering mouse chased by others. When the Grand Princess wanted to divorce Bai Qiu Qu peacefully, Chu Xun even did his best to match up his sister and Nan Bai Cheng. Furthermore, this Nan Bai Cheng was someone who defeated him before. For Bai Qiu Qu to manage defending himself and vanish without traces in that downtrodden situation, he was quite skilled.

Bai Qiu Qu must had hated Prince Chen and hated Chu Xun.

Then, where was this person now?

No matter where Bai Qiu Qu was, Chu Xun was currently at the entrance of the bathroom. He licked his lips, pondering whether to push the door open and enter. His hand approached the door. He really wanted to push it, hence he moved forward it forward. Just push it then, who's afraid of who?!

Just when the door about to be pushed open, Chu Xun heard Zhu Li's voice talking inside. Hearing a stir, the wicked Chu Xun's hand instantly retreated. He still had yet to prepare himself! Wait a moment first!

Inside.

Zhu Li hugged Mei Qian Deng who had just wore her clothes' arm and cried violently, "Young Miss! Young Miss! Please don't go, I want to ask something from you."

Mei Qian Deng didn't say anything. She just silently looked at Zhu Li, hinting her to continue.

"Can you pretend you're unconscious……"

"Why?" The candid female warrior Mei was puzzled.

Zhu Li, "Young Miss may not know this but His Majesty had always been close to you when you're unconscious. He even got thinner a layer. When he had just returned to the palace, he was just like a vagabond. Nubi is just thinking for His Majesty. He must had wished to be the first person seeing you wake up. Plus, i-if His Majesty ask how you wake up, it's awkward for me to say it……"

Mei Qian Deng had always been an easy to talk with and good-tempered person. "It's fine for me to pretend I'm still unconscious but how should I wake up? Previously, you all had tried so many methods yet none succeeded. Won't it make His Majesty suspicious even more if I open my eyes suddenly?"

Zhu Li was first surprised, "How did Young Miss know we had tried numerous methods?! It's true! Divine Physician Xie did rack her brain."

"It's just a guess."

"Oh, oh. Young Miss just have to close your eyes. Last time Prince Chen mentioned kissing your lips may wake you up. Everyone thought lightly of it. Who knew it was actually real……nubi will return now to talk again with His Majesty, suggesting him to kiss you again. Then, you will wake up again. Is it good?" Zhu Li was quite uncertain.

Mei Qian Deng was now a young miss. A young miss would put importance on chastity the most. To suddenly ask her to agree letting a man to molest her, even if this man was the Emperor, it was not really proper.

"Alright."

Zhu Li was still thinking so she didn't hear it clearly at first. She thought she had heard it wrong. "Y-Y-Young Miss Mei, what did you say?"

"Just do it according to your plan. I have no opinion."

"R-R-Really?!!"

"En."

"Sobs, sobs, sobs. Young Miss Mei, you have really saved nubi's life!"

If the Emperor found out that she was helping washing female warrior Mei when she accidentally kissed female warrior Mei's lips and it even woke up the sleeping beauty, Zhu Li couldn't imagine the Emperor's reaction.

Outside.

The Emperor who was standing and got the actual story from the conversation between Zhu Li and Mei Qian Deng……

As for his reaction……

It could be divided into three major types.

The first one was naturally a surprise. What? What? What?!!!

The second one was the explosion of his inner energy, which was surely his wrath. This anger didn't only include Zhu Li this idiot, he remembered not too long ago when he couldn't feed Mei Qian Deng the medicine. Chu Xun wanted to feed her mouth to mouth when that damn Zhao Mo Ran insisted on stopping him. If it wasn't for Zhao Mo Ran, he would be able to kiss female warrior Mei at that time and she would have wake up at that time!!!

The third one was either being angry silently or leave in silent. Chu Xun picked the second one. He wanted to push the door and enter and punch Zhu Li a round before pouncing at Mei Qian Deng. But, the crafty Emperor held down the desire and decided to leave silently instead.

When Zhu Li carried the feigning unconscious Mei Qian Deng out from the bathroom, Chu Xun's figure had long disappeared.

[1] To be exact, it's maternal uncle's wife.
