Chapter 525: Selfishness, in vain (Part 1)

Even if the emperor will just travel from the palace to Xiao Wangfu, he can’t be willful. Whenever he goes out, he must be escorted by the imperial army to be make sure his safety.

The imperial army must clear the way ahead of time. However, no matter how efficient they work, they still took half an hour before everything became ready.

“Your majesty, everything is prepared. You can leave.” The new commander of the Imperial Army stepped forward trembling legs.

He was not afraid of the emperor, he was afraid of going to the Xiao Palace. News secretly spread in the imperial army. The two previous commanders of the Imperial Army were banned due to Xiao Wangfu.

Now, for the imperial army, going to the Xiao Palace was equivalent to being take off from the official position.

The pressure on the new imperial army commander was great.

*Cough, cough* The emperor coughed, his pale face was flushing abnormally. However, no one dared to look at the emperor’s face. And even if they saw how ugly his face was, no dared to speak about it.

To get to the Xiao Wangfu as soon as possible, the emperor kept everything simple. After taking the Imperial Army with him, they traveled directly to Xiao Wangfu.

When the emperor was going to his courtier’s mansion, he would send someone in advance to inform the people. Lin Chujiu laughed when she learned that the emperor was coming to Xiao Wangfu.

Although the palace people didn’t say anything about it clearly, Lin Chujiu knew very well that the emperor must have come for Hua Jinrong, but… …

Hua Jinrong has already left, the emperor was late.

“Is his majesty coming for Hua Gongzi?” Lin Chujiu asked. The eunuch, who came was still thinking about how he will ask about Hua Jirong. So after hearing Lin Chujiu’s question, he quickly nodded his head: “Yes, his majesty heard that Hua Gongzi was in Xiao Wangfu, so he came to see him in person. I wonder if Hua Gongzi had free time this hour?”

“I’m sorry to disappoint his majesty, but Hua Gongzi is gone.” Lin Chujiu had no intention to entertain the emperor. Otherwise, she could pretend that she doesn’t know anything until the emperor arrived, and let him leave in disappointment…

“What?” The eunuch suddenly raised his voice. His voice was so sharp as if he wanted to pierce people’s eardrums. Lin Chujiu hurriedly covered her ears and said: “Gonggong, you don’t need to shout. I am not deaf.”

However, the eunuch had no time to care about Lin Chujiu, he eagerly asked: “Xiao Wangfei, what do you mean about Hua Gongzi is gone? Did he leave the Xiao Wangfu or the capital?”

The emperor was already on the road. What is the difference between letting the emperor know that he ran out in vain and slapping him on the face?

“Hua Gongzi left Xiao Wangfu half an hour ago. As for whether he left the capital, I don’t know.” Seeing Hua Jinrong coming and going in a hurry, Lin Chujiu guessed that he must have left the capital by this time. She just doesn’t want to publicize it.

“You, why did you let Hua Gongzi go? Don’t you know how to ask people to stay?” The eunuch pointed his finger at Lin Chujiu angrily. His finger was trembling, showing how angry he was.

* Pa-* Lin Chujiu grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it at the eunuch: “The next time you point your finger at me, I will chop off your hand.” When the emperor pointed his finger at her, she couldn’t say anything. But when a dog does it, how could she just let it go?

“You, you, you…” The eunuch was startled. His face flushed, but he didn’t dare to point at Lin Chujiu again.

“What am I? You still don’t want to go and report it to the emperor? Do you want the emperor to run in vain and let your head fly off your neck?” Lin Chujiu complained made the eunuch angry, but he didn’t dare to stay any longer. He ran out in a hurry.

He can imagine how angry the emperor would be when he heard this news!
