“When have I ever lied to you?” Madam Yu smiled and pulled her into her arms.

She thought of something and asked, “I remember that the Emperor sent a

Demon Guard to protect you.”

“Are you talking about Night Soul?”

“Yes, Mother wants him to do something. Can you…

In the Imperial Palace.

Without waiting for a report, Xuanyuan Ce strode into the imperial study.

The eunuch guarding the door seemed to be used to it. After he entered, he even thoughtfully closed the door.

“You’re here.” Xuanyuan Qi buried his head in reading the memorials without looking up.

Xuanyuan Ce glanced at Xuanyuan Ziming, who was kneeling at the side and smiling at him ingratiatingly. He retracted his gaze indifferently and cupped his hands. “Brother.”

“You’ve been back so often in the past two years.” Xuanyuan Qi changed the memorial and continued reading. He said indifferently, “This brat actually dared to use you as a raft and almost tarnished your reputation. I’ve already punished him to kneel here for two hours. If you’re still angry, bring him back and continue punis.h.i.+ng him.”

He wasn’t a girl. How could his reputation be tarnished?

The corners of Xuanyuan Ce’s mouth twitched as he said, “I’m not here for this.”

“Oh?” Xuanyuan Qi looked up.

After all, they were brothers. The facial features of the two of them were somewhat similar. Perhaps because they had worked too hard on the country, although he were only three years older than Xuanyuan Ce, the emperor looked much older.

“Then you’re here to speak for your esteemed guest?” he asked.

Xuanyuan Ce was silent for a moment. “Brother is indeed well-informed.”

“Isn’t that what you wanted me to know?”

Xuanyuan Ce thought to himself, “Can we chat properly?”

“Since Brother knows, then..

Xuanyuan Qi waved his hand to stop him from continuing. He said solemnly, “In the face of national affairs, benefits come first. If your esteemed guest can give you more benefits than the Wu Kingdom, there’s no need for you to say anything. If not..

“It’s useless even if you say it.”

Alright.

Xuanyuan Ce had long guessed that this would happen, so he was not disappointed. “I have something else.”

“Tell me about it.”

“Call back the Demon Guards you gave to Xuanyuan Ye.”

With such a powerful weapon around, Xuanyuan Ce was worried. As for divorcing the Yu family…

If Madam Yu could guess that the emperor would not agree, how could he not?

“Why?” Xuanyuan Qi did not expect him to mention this. He said in a low voice, “I won’t say anything about how you treat that girl, but you won’t allow me, her uncle, to treat her well?”

Actually, the reason why he and his mother doted on Xuanyuan Ye was not only because she was likable, but also because Xuanyuan Ce, their father, was irresponsible. As family elders, they wanted to compensate her.

“Xuanyuan Ye stays in Phoenix City all year round. She has many servants and guards protecting her. Why would she need the Demon Guards? Besides, she’s too young. She only knows how to like and hate and can’t differentiate between good and evil. If she gets the Demon Guards to kill someone, you’ll be an accomplice.”

Xuanyuan Qi paused and remembered that last year, Xuanyuan Ye had followed the diplomatic mission to Great Xia and asked the demon guard to kill a princess.

Fortunately, the princess was also capable, so she did not succeed. If she had really killed her back then, it would have been troublesome.

Thinking of this, he nodded. “I understand.”

Xuanyuan Ce was relieved and continued, “By the way, I remember that every year, the palace will provide Jade Skin Cream. I wonder if there’s more in the palace. Can you give it to me?”

Xuanyuan Qi frowned. The Jade Skin Cream had the effect of removing scars and beautifying the face. Naturally, that thing was not for men.

He pointed at the imperial table and asked, “I heard that you brought a woman back to Phoenix City this time. You…’

Halfway through his sentence, he waved his hand. “Forget it, forget it. Ever since that woman left, it’s rare for you to care about a woman.”

“Wu Zhengde,” he called.

A eunuch walked in. “Your Majesty.”

“I remember that you were the one who put away the Jade Skin Cream.”

“Yes. ‘rne previous ones nave all Deen usea up, Dut we got anotner live Doxes. However, at the beginning of the year, Her Highness from the Zhongcui Palace accidentally scalded her hand while cooking soup for Your Majesty, so she was awarded with a box. Not long after, Her Highness from the Xianfu Palace made clothes for Your Majesty.”

Meeting Xuanyuan Ce’s disdainful gaze, Xuanyuan Qi’s face darkened and he quickly interrupted him. “Alright, just tell me if there’s more.”

Wu Zhengde smiled awkwardly. “There’s only one box left.”

Xuanyuan Qi heaved a sigh of relief. “Go and get it for Second Brother.”

“Yes.”

Soon, Eunuch Wu returned with a jade brocade box.

Having achieved his goal of entering the palace, Xuanyuan Ce cupped his hands. “Then I’ll take my leave first.”

Knowing that he had always been like this, Xuanyuan Qi was not angry. He reminded him, “Mother misses you every day. Don’t forget to greet her..”
