My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!

The Imperial Study is not a straight path from here, instead it twists and turns, seeming not far, but walking takes about five li.

Just out of the Imperial Study, the Emperor, as if in a ten thousand fire urgency, vanished with a swoosh using Qinggong, leaving him trailing to catch up.

He’s not like Long Yi who possesses martial skills, how could he not be exhausted after running five li nonstop?

After catching his breath, Eunuch Feng warmly greeted Yun Wanye and Yun Wanyao, then the group headed towards the rear palace.

Watching the group’s direction, Eunuch Feng began to doubt internally.

This direction, why does it look like the way to Fenghua Palace?

Fenghua Palace is the Empress’s palace; the Emperor has not appointed an Empress yet, thus Fenghua Palace has always been vacant, and the Emperor has never glanced at it.

Today, might he take the Yun family’s young master and miss to Fenghua Palace?

But Fenghua Palace is an empty hall, what’s the intention of going there?

Thoughts bubbling along the way, soon, they appeared before an imposing and splendid palace.

Above the palace gate, hung a large vermilion plaque, with bold and vividly engraved golden letters—Fenghua Palace.

With the Emperor’s arrival, the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards responsible for Fenghua Palace’s cleaning quickly knelt with fear and trepidation to welcome him.

The Emperor usually never comes here; his sudden arrival inevitably frightened the palace staff, fearing they might anger him and pay with their lives.

Mo Yuanlin allowed everyone to rise, then instructed Eunuch Feng nearby.

"Eunuch Feng, send someone to the Imperial Kitchen to bring a table of wine and dishes; today, I will entertain the second young master and Miss Yun here at Fenghua Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Feng readily pointed out several palace maids and eunuchs waiting to follow orders, dispatching them to the Imperial Kitchen for the meal.

Even without him asking, the Emperor proactively ordering a meal pleased Yun Wanye, so he pushed his luck further.

"The Emperor truly understands me; Your Majesty, I want to drink the First Rank Immortal Jade Wine tributed by Jiangzhou Prefecture."

"Ha, you really know how to drink; even I can’t bear to drink the First Rank Immortal Jade Wine."

Although he said so, Mo Yuanlin swiftly waved his hand, saying, "Eunuch Feng, have someone bring the First Rank Immortal Jade Wine."

His scheme succeeding, Yun Wanye curled his lips into a fox-like grin.

Da Wu Country values water virtue, thus the Dragon Robe primarily in dark color, embroidered with exquisite golden dragon patterns using gold thread.

Against the backdrop of this dark golden Dragon Robe, the man appeared even more handsome and dignified than usual.

Yun Wanyao stole a glance at him, couldn’t help but feel some sympathetic tears for him; he enthusiastically hosted them, yet wouldn’t imagine that the siblings at this moment were fully plotting against him.

Within Yun Wanyao, a slight sense of guilt unconsciously rose.

Suddenly, he looked over, their eyes meeting, his gaze deep and mysterious, brimming with emotions she couldn’t decipher, yet it oddly made her feel uneasy.

Clenching her fists tightly, Yun Wanyao quickly lowered her head, not daring to continue the gaze.

"Miss Yun, would you like to visit the Warm Pool first, or dine together with me and the second young master?"

Huh??

Yun Wanyao flinched, instinctively looking towards Yun Wanye.

Yun Wanye raised a brow, saying, "Didn’t we skip dinner? You should eat first, after eating, then go see the Warm Pool."

"Alright."

Yun Wanyao nodded, turned to Mo Yuanlin again, but only dared look at his neck, not meeting his eyes.

"To the Emperor, I’ll, together with His Majesty and my second brother, dine first."

"Mm, that works too, after dining, you can go. No one uses the Warm Pool, if Miss Yun is interested, you could use it; the warm pool’s water is beneficial to the body."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanye’s eyes briefly flashed with dark light.

The Warm Pool in Fenghua Palace, for a lady to merely gaze at it would be a privilege, since when did it become freely available for a lady’s use?

The Emperor he knew, was he such a generous person?

In his mind, unconsciously surfaced Eunuch Feng’s panting, nearly out of breath appearance, Yun Wanyao might not see, but he instantly understood, the Emperor had lied back then.

He wasn’t idly wandering, coincidentally patrolling near the palace gate, but purposefully appearing there at the fastest speed.

Earlier, he couldn’t fathom the Emperor’s intent in speaking lies to conceal the truth, but now, he seemed to suddenly comprehend.

Perhaps the Emperor...

No wonder he’s visited the Imperial Palace many times, and only today experienced the Emperor’s personal reception. As it turns out, it’s because he’s only brought Yun Wanyao today.

Ha, truly sending a pillow when drowsiness hits.

He was worried the Emperor wouldn’t fall for Yun Wanyao, yet unexpectedly, he discovered such a secret.
