In the imperial study, Tang Yinyu was leaning against the dragon desk, reviewing memorials to the emperor. His handsome face was tense and his expression was solemn.

He was dressed in a black python robe, with his jet-black hair tied up with a black crown, which made him look even more handsome and imposing.

But, because of the injury, his complexion didn't look very good.

Suddenly, he frowned, put down the red pen, raised his right hand and rubbed his forehead, his brows full of fatigue.

"Hiss——" He gasped and felt a burning pain in the fingertips of his right hand.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Eunuch Liu immediately stepped forward and asked.

"I'm fine, continue." Tang Yinyu waved his hand.

Eunuch Liu nodded quickly, "Yes."

After a while, Tang Yinyu finally finished reviewing the memorial and rubbed his swollen and aching head.

Just as I was about to put away the memorials on the desk, I heard a gentle voice coming from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to bring you some medicine." Xiao Yun'er walked into the imperial study with light steps.

Xiao Yun'er walked into the imperial study with graceful steps.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Seeing this, everyone bowed.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be in good health and live as long as the Southern Mountains." Xiao Yun'er knelt down and bowed, smiling gracefully.

Tang Yinyu looked at Xiao Yun'er, frowned, and said unhappily, "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to enter the imperial study?"

"I just heard that the emperor was injured and was very worried, so I came to visit him." Xiao Yun'er bowed and said softly, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Tang Yinyu glanced at Xiao Yuner and said, "Forget it, stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yun'er thanked him softly, then stood up and walked over to him, "Your Majesty, I heard that you were injured. What happened?"

As she asked, she stretched out her slender hand, touched Tang Yinyu's forehead, and carefully checked whether he was injured.

"I'm fine." Tang Yinyu grabbed her hand and refused lightly.

"Your Majesty, why did you get injured suddenly? Was it because you encountered danger while hunting in the enclosure?" Xiao Yun'er asked worriedly.

Tang Yinyu lowered his head and stared at her, then nodded: "Your Highness is right, I have encountered an assassin."

"Assassin?" Xiao Yun'er was surprised. "Who sent the assassin to kill the emperor?"

Tang Yinyu glanced at Xiao Yun'er meaningfully, "I have already sent someone to investigate this, so please don't worry about it, Imperial Concubine."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun'er was shocked, but she pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "I obey your order."

"Well," Tang Yinyu nodded, "Anything else?"

"I heard today that the emperor was injured, so I specially stewed some tonic for him. I hope the emperor will drink it while it's hot." Xiao Yun'er said, and then gestured to Eunuch Zhou.

Eunuch Zhou nodded and quickly brought the stewing pot over.

Tang Yinyu glanced around and finally stopped his gaze on the bowl of soup.

He raised his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed softly, "Forget it, let's put it aside for now."

Xiao Yun'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Yinyu in confusion, "Your Majesty, you don't like the soup I made?"

"Well, I don't like it very much." Tang Yinyu replied indifferently.

Xiao Yun'er's expression changed a little, but she tried her best to keep smiling, "Your Majesty, I think this soup is good, how about you try it?"

Tang Yinyu snorted coldly, "I don't have an appetite for soup now, Imperial Concubine, please leave first."

"Your Majesty, I will ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. What would you like to eat?" Xiao Yun'er asked unwillingly.

"No need, I have something to do tonight, you can go back."

"Can……"

Xiao Yun'er was about to persuade him again when Tang Yinyu's cold words interrupted her.

"Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Xiao Yuner pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Yes."

"Well, go away." Tang Yinyu narrowed his sharp eyes and waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

Xiao Yun'er looked at Tang Yinyu helplessly, bit her lip, and turned away unwillingly.

After she left, Tang Yinyu slowly sat up straight and rubbed his eyebrows even more heavily.

At this time, Eunuch Liu handed him a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, have a cup of tea to refresh yourself."

Tang Yinyu took the teacup and sipped it slowly.

At this moment, although his expression was still cold, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes. He asked, "Is Chu Yuqin settled?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been settled as you instructed." Eunuch Liu replied respectfully.

"Well, go and ask her to come over." Tang Yinyu said.

Chu Yuqin's beautiful fairy-like face involuntarily emerged in his mind.

He was looking forward to the feeling of getting along with Chu Yuqin, and he suddenly felt that he was very interested in that woman.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu took the order and left.

Eunuch Liu came to the villa, and Chu Yuqin was standing alone in the yard admiring the moon.

Her back was thin and her dress was blown by the night wind, making her look particularly lonely.

"Miss Chu!" Eunuch Liu stepped forward quickly and called out.

"Father-in-law, is there something wrong?" Chu Yuqin turned her head to look at him with a faint smile on her face, like a blooming lily, which made people's heart beat fast.

Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "The Emperor has summoned you, young lady. Please follow me."

Chu Yuqin frowned her beautiful eyebrows, then smiled and said, "Please lead the way, eunuch."

Eunuch Liu led Chu Yuqin to the Yangxin Palace.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, the two finally arrived at a luxurious palace.

In the hall, Tang Yinyu stood with his hands behind his back, his face stern, wearing a bright yellow brocade robe with dragon pattern. He looked noble and elegant, exuding a domineering and majestic aura that looked down on the world.

"Your Majesty, Miss Chu has arrived." Eunuch Liu reported.

"Come in." Tang Yinyu responded and then turned to face the entrance of the hall.

His deep, mellow voice echoed throughout the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Eunuch Liu turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Chu, please!"

Chu Yuqin nodded, then stepped into the hall.

Chu Yuqin followed behind Eunuch Liu, knelt down and bowed, shouting respectfully: "I bow to the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Stand up." Tang Yinyu raised the corner of his lips slightly and said lightly.

Then he glanced at Eunuch Liu and said, "Eunuch Liu, please leave first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu responded, bowed and retreated outside the hall to wait.

Chu Yuqin stood up, raised her eyes and stared at Tang Yinyu, her beautiful phoenix eyes sparkling and sparkling.

At this moment, Tang Yinyu was handsome and extraordinary, revealing the arrogance and domineering aura unique to a king, which made him look even more charming and attractive.

Chu Yuqin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her breathing became irregular.

Tang Yinyu stared at Chu Yuqin, raised the corners of his lips, and said frivolously: "Miss Chu, there is no need to be restrained. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then she reacted, bowed hurriedly to express her gratitude, and then sat down.

Chu Yuqin sat on the chair, glanced at Tang Yinyu secretly, her heart pounding.

This man is really handsome, especially with that wicked smile on his face, as if he can charm anyone's soul away.
