Chapter 417 - 185: This Minister’s Daughter Is Drunk
Why has the Emperor come?
Despite having visited the Imperial Palace so many times, this is the first time the Emperor has personally come to receive him. Yun Wanye, surprised, couldn’t help but feel slightly flattered.
"The Emperor is here, quickly get off the carriage."
He suppressed his voice, urging the young lady in the carriage in a low tone.
Yun Wanyao tightened her fist, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she steeled herself to get up and walk out.
Having boarded the pirate ship, wishing to disembark halfway was utterly impossible; this she understood.
Seeing her come out, Yun Wanye’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he leaped lightly to the ground, extending a hand towards her.
Yun Wanyao placed her hand with the handkerchief into his, the thin silk cloth separating their skin from touching.
With one hand holding her hand and the other holding her waist, he effortlessly lifted her down from the tall carriage.
Just as she steadied herself upon landing, she looked up to see a tall figure in dark golden attire.
The young and handsome Emperor, wearing the golden crown symbolizing imperial power, had walked over at some point, his deep, inscrutable black eyes fell upon her.
Yun Wanyao never expected him to come over, and was truly startled when she saw him unexpectedly.
Her just stabilized body softened, her balance instantly shifted, causing her to fall backward. Fortunately, Yun Wanye quickly grabbed her, otherwise, she would have fallen embarrassing.
"Subject, subject daughter pays respects to the Emperor..."
Yun Wanyao hurriedly lowered her head and performed the courtesy.
Her face flushed red, feeling ashamed and awkward, with a touch of nervousness and fear.
Yun Wanye released her, and also bowed to the Emperor.
Unless in formal occasions or when there are many people, they are not required to kneel in ceremony.
"No need for formality."
"Thank you, Emperor."
After the virtual courtesy, Yun Wanye smiled casually at him, saying with a relaxed manner, "Why has the Emperor come?"
"I had nothing to do and happened to be patrolling in the vicinity, heard you came, so decided to come over."
Mo Yuanlin replied with a natural expression, not showing any sign of discomfort.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanye’s eyes quickly flashed with suspicion; would a monarch truly have nothing to do?
Moreover, why are the Emperor’s personal attendant and guards nowhere to be seen?
If the Emperor were inspecting, why would no one be following him?
Intuited that the situation was not quite as the Emperor stated, Yun Wanye did not reveal any doubt, squinting his eyes with a mischievous smile.
"I see, I was worried that a sudden visit would disrupt your handling of state affairs, but if that’s the case, I’m relieved."
"It will not."
Mo Yuanlin softly stated, his gaze subtly swept over the exquisite young lady beside him, his lips slightly curled upward.
"Did you and Miss Yun come suddenly to see me regarding a matter?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanyao’s palms started sweating, once again losing her composure.
She looked at Yun Wanye in confusion, but saw that Yun Wanye hadn’t looked at her at all, merely responding to Mo Yuanlin independently.
"There is indeed; Yun Wanyao wishes to see the Warm Pool in Fenghua Palace, and as for me, I’ve long missed seeing the Emperor, so I came along with her."
"..."
Upon hearing his words, Yun Wanyao couldn’t help but be stunned; when did she wish to see Fenghua Palace’s Warm Pool?
Are things within the Imperial Palace something outsiders can simply request to see?
Could Yun Wanye be more reliable?
At that moment, an abyssal gaze fell upon her, causing Yun Wanyao to instinctively tense her whole body, quickly coming to her senses, lowering her head stammering.
"Yes, indeed, subject daughter wishes, wishes to see Fenghua Palace’s Warm Pool, begging, begging the Emperor for permission."
"Granted, let us go, I will take you."
"Thank, thank you, Emperor."
The three then walked towards the palace.
After about twenty meters, suddenly, Eunuch Feng was seen hurriedly running over from a distance. Running so hurriedly, his hat had tilted, seeming about to fall off.
Behind Eunuch Feng, followed a tall man strolling leisurely.
The man held a Curved Sword in his hand, he was the Emperor’s personal Guard and the top martial artist in the palace, Long Yi.
Seeing Eunuch Feng’s awkward appearance, Yun Wanye squinted his eyes, a flash of insight quickly passed through his gaze.
"Emperor, Emperor, this old servant finally caught up with you."
Having sprinted over, Eunuch Feng gasped heavily, his breaths interrupted and he seemed close to exhaustion.
In such cold weather, his clothes were surprisingly soaked in sweat.
Looking at the near-exhausted eunuch, Yun Wanyao expressed complete bewilderment, what was this eunuch doing, how did he become so exhausted?
If he knew her thoughts, Eunuch Feng would surely shout in grievance.
