"Master Lu, Master Lu? Wake up, wake up."

Eunuch Wei had a bitter face, and his long face was pulled like a bitter gourd. He half-knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand to shake the man in the red robe who was kneeling on the steps of the palace.

The young man hung his head, his lower body still in a kneeling position, his shoulders leaning against the golden dragon pillar, and he was sleeping soundly.

He had traveled thousands of miles day and night these days and had hardly had a good night's sleep. He was so tired that he just took a nap on the horse's back. He had stayed up all night last night, relying on a single breath to hold on.

Wei Dexi sighed and said, "His Majesty punished him to kneel, but he was able to fall asleep while kneeling. He is truly a remarkable man."

But when the emperor saw it, he didn't get angry. He just said casually, "Let him go." And let him sleep in the hall.

He really didn't want to provoke this kind of person unless his master asked him personally.

"Lord Lu, wake up!" Wei Dexi leaned close to his ear and said, "His Majesty is calling you!"

This time, Lu Kui's eyelashes finally moved. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still unfocused, and his pretty face was confused: "Who?"

Eunuch Wei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty!"

Lu Kui was startled: "Your Majesty?" He was about to stand up immediately, but he forgot that he had been kneeling for a long time and his legs and feet were already numb. If he didn't move, he would be fine. So he lunged forward and gave a big salute to Wei Dexi in front of him.

"Ouch!" Eunuch Wei turned pale, not caring about anything else for a moment, and hurriedly bent down to pull Lu Kui up: "My Lord Lu, please be careful."

Lu Kui was much more sober after the fall. He supported Wei Dexi and waited for the tingling pain in his legs to pass. He endured the pain and asked, "What did your Majesty say?"

Wei Dexi smiled and said, "His Majesty said that he has something urgent to discuss with you and asked you to go to the Jade Palace to meet him immediately."

When Lu Kui heard this, he became anxious and wanted to go over there immediately. However, his legs and feet felt numb when he exerted a little force, so he had to be patient and wait.

Wei Dexi looked at him and laughed. Lord Lu, who was always handsome, also had such an embarrassing moment. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lu. You will have to kneel again when you see His Majesty."

Lu Kui smiled bitterly and said, "Eunuch Wei, please stop teasing me. His Majesty is still angry. How can we not be anxious?"

Wei Dexi helped him out of the hall and comforted him, "When I came here, I saw that Chief Steward Wu had a smile on his face. I think it's not a bad thing for His Majesty to come."

When they finally reached the Yuchen Palace, as soon as they entered the warm room, Lu Kui saw His Majesty sitting at the table. When he saw him coming, he put down the pen in his hand and said, "Wu Shilu, please take a seat."

Lu Kui looked at Emperor Zhao Yuan flattered and said in surprise, "How dare I take a seat in front of your Majesty?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "You have kneeled enough today. If you kneel any further, I am afraid you will miss the opportunity. It will not be too late to kneel again in the future."

Lu Kui thanked the emperor for his grace and then sat down carefully: "Your Majesty, what is the most urgent matter? I will go and do it immediately."

Emperor Zhaoyuan raised his eyes and looked Lu Kui up and down, until he felt hair all over his body. Then he smiled and turned to ask his personal eunuch, "Who is more handsome, me or Lu Qing?"

Wu Shilu almost suspected that he had heard it wrong and fell down. How should he answer this question?

However, the eunuch Wu Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the inner palace, still performed at his usual level and said solemnly, "Your Majesty is as beautiful as a dragon and a phoenix, and your appearance is as beautiful as heaven. No one else can compare to you. Of course, Your Majesty... is better."

Lu Kui was already stunned below. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why His Majesty asked this question.

He quickly followed up and said, "Lu Kui is just a tiny firefly, how can it compete with the bright moon? Your Majesty has an immortal appearance, and there is no one in the world who can match it. In front of you, I am just a chicken and a dog."

After hearing this flattery, Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at him with a half-smile, picked up a letter on the table, and said casually: "Because my Ning'er specifically asked me to borrow Lu Kui for a while."

When Lu Kui heard this, he was so shocked that he took a step forward and asked stupidly, "Your Majesty, is this true?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan was both angry and amused when he saw him like this, and couldn't help but ask angrily, "Would I lie to you?"

Lu Kui lowered his head and said, "I dare not."

His Majesty asked again: "Is your mind clear now?"

Lu Kui was too shy to speak, so Chu Huan spoke up: "When you're in front of Ning'er, put away your silly look and don't scare her. Don't be rude, don't offend her, and don't act coquettishly or act pitiful."

He said "no" three times in a row and glanced at Lu Kui: "Do you understand?"

Lu Kui lowered his head and listened obediently, his eyes already brightened: "Lu Kui understands!"

"When the time comes, just do whatever she asks you to investigate, and don't ask for instructions. If anyone interferes, send them away if you can handle it. If you find it difficult to handle, ask Han Guang who is beside her to send a letter in. Do you remember this?"

Every time Chu Huan said something, Lu Kui nodded: "I've remembered it all." There was a smile on his face that he couldn't hide, and his thick eyelashes were like crow wings, hanging over his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

He just looked at the master he relied on, thinking about the girl he would soon meet, and felt satisfied in everything.

He suddenly came to his senses and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, has the girl encountered any difficult problems? Why did you think of looking for me?"

Lu Kui's family knows his own business, and he is very clear about his expertise. If there is any good thing, it will definitely not be attributed to him.

Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at him with a look that said, "You finally remembered to ask." "Well. If it wasn't a difficult matter, I wouldn't have entrusted it to you. I don't know what Lin Shiqi's daughter said to her, making Ning'er think of you as a secret agent who specializes in solving cases, finding secrets, and catching adultery."

Lu Kui smiled nonchalantly: "It's almost the same. But I thought Miss Ning was busy tracking down Ye and Liu Kui, and would not be distracted by other things."

Emperor Zhao Yuan frowned and thought for a moment: "Your people are watching Liu Kui. Isn't this just right? Originally, you were worried that Han Guang might not be able to handle the message properly. Now you can tell her in person."

Thinking of Ning'er, a smile appeared on Chu Huan's face: "Tell her not to worry about anything. If you are happy, then deal with it. If you are unhappy, just tell me."

The soft light from the sky penetrated the jade-white and slightly green tiles, creating a faint pearly glow, reflecting on Emperor Zhaoyuan's cheek, making his extremely deep eyes appear brighter.

Lu Kui's gaze fell on the emperor's almost flawless face, and he couldn't help but hold his breath slightly.

He has never been able to say anything flattering, but His Majesty's appearance is really like a fairy, which makes people feel disgusted. Only such a Majesty can be a good match for the girl.

He asked softly, "Your Majesty, will Lu Kui go over now?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan nodded first, then suddenly stopped Lu Kui who was about to leave and said, "Wait. Don't forget your original mission."

Lu Kui let out a soft "ah", he had really forgotten it a long time ago.
