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

"So it's Eunuch Mu who's here. What's going on? Is there something wrong with His Majesty?"

Ruan Miaomiao mentioned Xiao Chenjing deliberately. She was reminding Mu Zian that she was no longer the palace maid she used to be.

But I don’t know whether Mu Zian didn’t understand or pretended not to know. Although he didn’t get close to her, his vague gaze still fell on Ruan Miaomiao.

This made the latter feel annoyed.

Even if Mu Zian wanted to hide it, his eyes still gave him away.

After hearing this, he paused for a moment and replied, "Your Excellency is as good as a god. That's right. There was a sudden flood in the south of the Yangtze River these days. Your Majesty is busy dealing with this matter. I'm afraid he won't be able to come and have lunch with Your Majesty at noon. He specially asked me to inform you so that Your Majesty doesn't need to stay for dinner."

Hearing that Xiao Chenjing might not come to her in the next few days, Ruan Miaomiao's frown quickly relaxed.

As long as you don't go to someone else's place.

The people in this palace are very good at changing their attitudes according to the situation. Whenever the emperor doesn't come, they will speculate behind her back whether she has fallen out of favor.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mu Zian suddenly said, "Look, even Miss Jasmine, who is with Concubine Xian, came to deliver soup early in the morning, but His Majesty didn't have time to see anyone, so he just asked her to keep the soup and left."

Imperial Concubine Xian? Miss Jasmine?

At first Ruan Miaomiao didn't react, but when she saw Mu Zian didn't move, her brain, which had never been very smart, suddenly seemed to be awakened.

Then I broke out in a cold sweat.

Has she been too complacent recently? She even wanted to get rid of her relationship with Mu Zian.

He is the eunuch in front of the emperor. If you ask who in the palace is closest to the emperor and knows Xiao Chenjing's movements best, that person must be him.

Just like today.

If Mu Zian had not explained it clearly, she might not have been able to know some key information in time.

It is said that little devils are difficult to deal with. In this palace, you can offend anyone but not Mu Zian.

Thinking of this, Ruan Miaomiao immediately changed from her previous lazy posture to sitting up.

Chunlan quickly got a pillow and placed it behind her.

"The flood is a serious matter. Go back and report to His Majesty, and let him remember to take care of his health... Of course, I also hope that the flood can be cured as soon as possible, so that the people's lives will be better."

She wasn't the type to say big truths, and the last two sentences were forced out of her.

Only the first sentence, which hoped Xiao Chenjing was in good health, was her true feelings.

After all, without Xiao Chenjing, she wouldn't have such a good life as she has now.

"I will report your words to His Majesty word for word. If His Majesty knew that the young lady cared so much about him, he would definitely be very happy."

Because she almost made a mistake, Ruan Miaomiao felt uneasy when she looked at Mu Zian.

She winked at Chunlan, who quickly realized something and turned to go to the inner room.

Suddenly there were only two people left at the scene.

"Thank you, Eunuch Mu, for making this special trip..."

Ruan Miaomiao coughed and wanted to say something nice.

But unexpectedly, Chunlan turned back soon. She moved her lips but stopped.

When Chunlan came out, she had a bag in her hand, which she handed directly to Mu Zian.

"This is?"

Mu Zian looked at the purse placed in his hand, then looked at Ruan Miaomiao, and wanted to refuse.

As someone close to the emperor, he naturally knew that Ruan Miaomiao probably didn't have much "property" at this time.

After all, his family background was there, and Xiao Chenjing's rewards were mostly jewellery, and the imperial gifts were all recorded in the book.

You can’t just take out the palace pawns casually.

Therefore, he knew clearly what this bag meant to Ruan Miaomiao.

But just when Ruan Miaomiao wanted to figure out Mu Zian's role, she had to "reluctantly let go" in order to win him over.

Her heart was bleeding at this moment, so she simply turned her head away and didn't look.

There was a subtle hint of grievance in his voice, "Just take it, otherwise Eunuch Zi'an will look down on me."

But he still wants to pretend to be strong.

Since she said so, Mu Zian put it in his sleeve as a gesture, and at worst he could give it to Chunlan later.

In fact, others who wanted to bribe him would give him valuable paintings, or at least jade articles.

Something like Ruan Miaomiao's simple and direct gift of money is actually low-level.

Even if she doesn't give it to him, would Mu Zian still be willing to not help her?

That’s right, Mu Zian instantly understood the meaning of Ruan Miaomiao’s giving money, but it would be better not to give this money.

It seems that the two of them are much more distant.

Ruan Miaomiao had no idea what he was thinking, and only forced a smile when she saw him accept it.

Considering the money, she expected that her next words would not be rejected.

"I wonder if Eunuch Mu still remembers the deal we made before?"

She asked tentatively, without avoiding Chunlan's thoughts.

Chunlan has successfully gained Ruan Miaomiao's trust with her performance in recent times. The most important thing is that what Chunlan said really pleased her.

Seeing that Mu Zhian didn't answer, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

"It was the conversation we had a few days after I arrived at the Imperial Court!"

Mu Zhian pursed his lips and nodded without saying anything, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I have not yet formally congratulated you, my lady, but now you have finally gotten what you wished for."

Ruan Miaomiao didn't know how to cover up, nor did she like beating around the bush.

She has heard a lot of polite words from Mu Zhian during this period.

She deliberately sounded pitiful, describing herself as the most helpless person in the harem.

Although Mu Zhian knew the truth in it, how could he have the energy to tell the truth when his beloved was complaining to him?

I wish I could hold him in my arms and comfort him.

"So in this palace, I hope that Eunuch Mu can help me share some of the burden. Otherwise, as a commoner without a family background to rely on, how can I continue on for a long time?"

After saying that, Ruan Miaomiao pretended to wipe her eyes with her sleeves.

Her acting skills were very immature, and her big eyes were bright when they flashed by, and she didn't look like she was about to cry at all.

But this degree is enough to make a person who loves her blind.

Regardless of the fact that Chunlan was still present, Mu Zian's calm face finally revealed some distress.

He immediately knelt down and slammed his knees heavily on the ground, making a 'bang' sound.

"If you don't mind, I am willing to use my own flesh and blood to stand in front of you and help you with all my strength."

The sincerity in his words made Ruan Miaomiao unable to help but believe it.

In a trance, he saw him move his knees lightly and come to the couch where Ruan Miaomiao was sitting.

"I am willing to die for you, my lord!"
