The Little Eunuch asked again, "Princess Consort, Princess Consort."

"Ah?" Xuexue raised her head, looking puzzled at him, and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Are you still going to the Imperial Palace?"

The Little Eunuch was still somewhat worried. He had leaked the matter, and he was unsure if The Emperor would suspect it was his doing.

"Well!"

Xuexue rubbed her chin thoughtfully, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring directly at him, and said, "Tell The Emperor, the Prince is not at the mansion, and I, the Princess Consort, must guard the place well for the Prince. Until the Prince’s return, I will not enter the palace."

The Little Eunuch immediately felt the several thousand taels of silver note in his pocket burning, very scorching to the touch.

If because of the several thousand taels of silver note, he ruined The Emperor’s plan and The Emperor found out, his head surely wouldn’t be spared.

"Princess Consort, oh no, Aunt! Our family gave away the secret to you, make sure not to let The Emperor know, otherwise, our family would lose their head," said the Little Eunuch with a face full of worry.

At this moment, he calmed down, thinking about the consequences of betraying The Emperor, completely devoid of the excitement of receiving the silver note.

Xuexue patted his shoulder, making a promise, "Eunuch Qian, don’t worry! As long as you manage this well, I assure you, The Emperor will absolutely not know about this affair."

The implication was that there were many things in the future for the Little Eunuch to accomplish.

The Little Eunuch felt like he was on a pirate ship, just several thousand taels of silver note and he betrayed The Emperor; it was not worth it.

Indeed, the Consorts in the Harem, in order to see The Emperor, kept sending him some treasures, which were also worth a fortune.

Having only received several thousand taels of silver from Xuexue, he became her informant. No wonder the Little Eunuch felt it was quite a loss.

This was indeed a life-threatening task; if The Emperor found out, his head would not be spared.

"Hehehe...! Our family will do our best," the Little Eunuch smiled awkwardly.

They say masters are among the people, indeed it’s true.

The Consorts in the Harem are always scheming, trying all sorts of ways to gift him, hoping to get news about The Emperor from him.

Now it appeared that no matter how clever they were, they did not have the mind of the Princess Consort of War Prince, who spent just several thousand taels of silver note, unknowingly entangled him, making him have no choice but to do her bidding.

Xuexue learned of The Emperor’s plan and refused to enter the palace, and the Little Eunuch could do nothing about it, he had to return to the palace to report.

The Emperor and Old Master Gu were waiting for Xuexue’s arrival in the Imperial Study Room.

When the Little Eunuch delivered the news back, Old Master Gu was somewhat surprised, thinking that the Princess Consort of War Prince was courageous to dare ignore The Emperor’s summons.

Old Master Gu was completely unaware that The Emperor, in order to deceive the War Prince, purposely said Noble Consort Wang invited the Princess Consort of War Prince to the palace for a reunion.

In this way, Xuexue found an opening, even if she does not enter the palace, The Emperor cannot accuse her of defying imperial authority.

This time The Emperor was clever but ended up shooting himself in the foot.

His own woman was beaten up, and the news was all over the Capital; Old Master Gu couldn’t swallow this insult, swearing not to rest until he found the culprit.

The Emperor, unable to end the entanglement, had no choice but to issue another Imperial Edict, summoning Xuexue quickly into the palace, learning from the last lesson, this time not beating around the bush.

The Emperor’s command was hard to disobey; Xuexue pondered repeatedly, to avoid giving people a handle and bringing unnecessary trouble to the War Prince’s Mansion, she had to take Zi Xia and Xiao Jiu to the palace.

The steward stood at the gate, watching as the carriage with the Princess Consort went further away, extremely worried, not knowing if there was any danger in this trip to the Imperial Palace.

He immediately instructed his confidant to gallop quickly to the army camp to report to the Prince.

The Capital was abuzz with rumors saying the Second Prince and Third Prince were soon heading to the Frontier for battle. Just at this time, The Emperor summoned the Princess Consort to the Imperial Palace, what was his true intention?
