The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

His voice seemed to contain some hidden and special emotion, but Ruan Miaomiao did not delve into it.

In her mind, all she had to do was make sure Mu Zian would always put her first.

After all, she also knew that with her intelligence, if she didn't have help in this deep palace, she might be framed by others and she wouldn't even know who was behind it.

Moreover, as someone close to the emperor, the benefits that Mu Zian can bring to her are unimaginable.

After all, both of them were from the Qianqing Palace and could not stay for long. After saying what they needed to say, they left.

That day, after finally finishing reviewing the memorials before lunch, Xiao Chenjing brought Mu Zian back to the palace.

As soon as he entered the hall, he looked around but didn't see the familiar figure.

"This little girl, is she slacking off again?"

Xiao Chenjing said this with a smile, but there was no trace of blame in his tone.

It was obvious that the girl he was talking about was Ruan Miaomiao.

Xiao Chenjing just thought that Ruan Miaomiao was unwilling to serve, so she was hiding somewhere and would come back after resting.

But what Mu Zian said made him frown.

"Miss Ruan is indeed lively and cheerful by nature. Since coming to the Qianqing Palace, I feel that the atmosphere here has improved a lot. Not only me, Xiao Baochun'er and the others also feel the same, but I don't know if it's my illusion..."

He was halfway through his words when he whetted Xiao Chenjing's appetite.

Sitting in the chair, he narrowed his eyes.

In an instant, his temperament changed from gentle to oppressive, "Why, what do you want to say? Don't be so hesitant, you know this is what I hate the most."

As if frightened, Mu Zian suddenly fell to his knees, his body trembling twice. After hesitating, he still said the rest of the words.

"I was thinking that although Miss Ruan sometimes likes to be lazy, she wouldn't be missing as often as she has been recently. Is it... is there something wrong?"

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Xiao Chenjing, then immediately lowered his head when his gaze met the other's.

If he hadn't said it, Xiao Chenjing wouldn't have realized it. Indeed, you know, one of the things that little girl cares about most is his daily meals.

Because he couldn't finish the meal by himself, he would usually give some of the dishes to people around him.

This situation became more frequent after Ruan Miaomiao came.

Even later on, she would take the initiative to hint at his favorite dishes.

So no matter how busy she is, or if she is too lazy to serve, she will definitely show up when lunch or dinner is approaching.

So…what exactly happened?

As the emperor, if he wanted to know something, he didn't need to spend any energy at all. Someone would naturally report the answer he wanted to know to his desk.

Besides, he knew Mu Zian well, so Xiao Chenjing wouldn't believe him if he said he didn't discover anything.

He glanced at Mu Zian, whose knees, which had just left the ground, made close contact with the ground again.

"What are you talking about here, slave? If you know anything, please tell me quickly."

Mu Zian knelt on the ground with a look of grievance on his face, and defended himself: "It's just a feeling of mine."

"Don't come on, do you think I don't know you?"

If Xiao Chenjing didn't have anything useful on hand, he might have just picked it up and smashed it over.

When did he teach him to keep people in suspense?

Seeing that Xiao Chenjing seemed really angry, Mu Zian immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

Some things have to be seen with one's own eyes to be believed.

Some words can only appear true if you leave room for them.

"I heard it from Xiaobao. He happened to see Miss Ruan in the Imperial Garden a few days ago... Miss Ruan seemed to be talking to a guard. Of course, they only said a few words and then left. I guess there might be something going on. Who knows."

Mu Zian deliberately spoke vaguely, as if he had no other meaning.

He even thoughtfully found an excuse for Ruan Miaomiao.

Of course, whether Xiao Chenjing believed it or not was none of his business.

Sure enough, when Xiao Chenjing heard what he said, his face instantly darkened.

Although things returned to normal quickly, all of this fell into the eyes of Mu Zian who was observing secretly.

He lowered his eyelids and heard Xiao Chenjing's slightly puzzled voice.

"Are you saying that Ruan Miaomiao has been slacking off these days because she has other things to do?"

Except for the momentary loss of composure just now, he quickly regained his composure, but this calmness was just a sign of the coming storm.

At least in the eyes of Mu Zian, who knew him well, this restrained look actually confirmed his guess.

"I don't know."

At this time, Mu Zian just needed to say that he didn't know.

"What a fool!"

Mu Zian clearly sensed his anger in the last second, but the anger miraculously disappeared in the next second.

"As the chief eunuch, you are in charge of all the eunuchs and maids in the palace. Although there may be things that are beyond your ability, but!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Chenjing already adopted a tone of stern questioning.

"But the Qianqing Palace is my residence. As an old man I brought from my mansion, how can you not know everything about what is happening at my doorstep?"

On the surface, Mu Zian was trembling with fear because of these words that could be regarded as rebukes.

But in fact, a faint smile quietly appeared on his lowered face.

That smile was also fleeting.

"I deserve to die. I failed in my duty."

He wished Xiao Chenjing would punish him. The heavier the punishment, the more he cared about Ruan Miaomiao.

He even punished the old man who had always been serving him for the latter.

"Damn it, but not now."

Xiao Chenjing's chest rose and fell slightly, his eyes fell forward, and he did not look at Mu Zian.

"Where is she?"

"this."

No need to ask, she must be referring to Ruan Miaomiao.

"Ok?"

Under the former's oppressive gaze, Mu Zian had no choice but to tell him the news.
