Chapter 61 The Old Man Must Know Everything
Chapter 61 The Old Man Must Know Everything
By the time they arrived at the Qinkun Palace, the Retired Emperor had actually sat up and cracked
melon seeds.
In addition to servant Chang, there was another person in the hall. He was dressed in black and wore a
sword. He was kind of old and his hair was a little grey. When he saw Yuan Qingling entering the hall,
he put on his poker face.
The Retired Emperor kept cracking melon seeds and said, "You may leave now."
The man in black cupped his hands before his chest and left.
His footsteps were very light. Even if someone stared carefully, he would still think that the man's heel
did not touch the ground. In a moment, the man disappeared outside the hall.
"What are you looking at? He is my secret guard. Have you finished your mission?" The Retired
Emperor glanced at her and asked. It seemed that he was in a good mood.
Yuan Qingling suddenly had an illusion that this old man really knew everything, including the one who
ordered Nurse Xi.
The old man looked at her with a strange smile.
Yuan Qingling's blood froze. It seemed that she was right. The old man knew everything.
"Servant Chang, I have something to say to the Retired Emperor alone. Please go out." Yuan Qingling
felt that she could not be a fool and she needed to know the truth.
Servant Chang knew what to do and went out immediately.
The Retired Emperor was still cracking melon seeds, with the face that made others want to kick his
ass. "What do you want to ask? I may not answer you."
"Who changed the drug?" Yuan Qingling leaned over and asked, "You know it, am I right?"
"Yes, you are right!" He didn't even raise his head. "Paul."
"Don't mess with me..."
"How dare you!" The Retired Emperor yelled angrily, "Who are you talking to?"
Yuan Qingling lowered her head and endured the grievances. "I'm sorry. I was wrong."
The Retired Emperor snorted and continued to crack the melon seeds. Then, he waved his hand at
ease. "That's right. I do know it."
Yuan Qingling looked at him in surprise. Everyone was taking care of his feeling, and he knew
everything. Since he was clear, why did he still allow Nurse Xi to serve him in the hall? Wasn't he afraid
that she would poison him again?
"Can't you figure it out?" The Retired Emperor snorted and spat out the melon seed skin.
"You are a master." Yuan Qingling admitted that the Retired Emperor was merciless.
The Retired Emperor looked at her and said, "Come here!"
Yuan Qingling quickly sat down by the Retired Emperor and waited for him to say something.
However, the Retired Emperor grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "Tear off the shell!"
Yuan Qingling was so angry, but she could only help him peel off the shell.
The melon seeds were placed in the Retired Emperor's palm one by one, but he was not in a hurry to
eat them. After peeling ten or eight melon seeds, he put them into his mouth, chewed them, and said
disgustedly, "The melon seeds that are not peeled by myself aren't delicious at all."
Yuan Qingling said, "The funny part of cracking the melon seeds is not eating melon seeds, but the
process of cracking instead."
"I'm glad that you know it!" The Retired Emperor said indifferently, "Then why are you asking so many
questions? Take your time to peel them off and study them carefully."
Alright, he was trying to change her thought.
"You don't have to serve me in the imperial palace anymore. Take your prince back to Prince Yu’s
residence. When I want to see you, I will summon you." The Retired Emperor clapped his hands and
laid down lazily.
When Yuan Qingling thought of returning to Prince Yu’s residence, she felt depressed.
"Aren't you happy?" The Retired Emperor asked as he observed her expression.
"There's nothing to be happy about."
The Retired Emperor smiled and said, "Is it for the Yu Wenhao's marrying another woman? It's Queen
Xian's idea. You don't care about Yu Wenhao at all. Just let it be. Why bother?"
He also knew about this? It seemed that the marriage of another wife had been mentioned a long time
ago. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"For me, it's not a big deal." It was a good thing actually. "Nurse Xi is going to leave the imperial palace
with me. Do you know that?"
"Of course I do!"
He did? This thing had just been decided. Who came to report to him so quickly? Who was so fast?
Yuan Qingling couldn't help but think of the man in black just now. Perhaps, this man in black was like
his eyes and ears.
"Be nice to her. Although I am disappointed with her, I have never hated her." The Retired Emperor
said as he wiped his hands.
With such a noble identity, someone wanted to murder the Retired Emperor, but he did not hate her
and even asked Yuan Qingling to treat her better. It was really strange.
In the Rest Room of the Royal Workroom, Prince Sun knew that Yu Wenhao was recuperating in the
imperial palace, but he did not know that Yu Wenhao was hurt so badly. When he saw that Yu Wenhao
was lying on the bed without a pale face, he was so angry that his face turned purple. He said, "Who's
got the nerve? I'm going to chop him into minced meat paste."
As he cursed, he grabbed a handful of candied fruit served for Yu Wenhao and put them into his
mouth, chewing it angrily.
However, Yu Wenhao was very calm. He looked at Prince Sun and said, "There are snacks over there,
which were from servant Chang."
Actually, it was for Yuan Qingling. He didn't say that, but he was very anxious and kept looking outside.
Tang Yang brought some snacks over and placed them in front of Prince Sun. Prince Sun waved his
hand and said, "I can't eat them. Eating snacks is easy to get fat... Is this sent by servant Chang? Is it
made by the grandfather's cooks? It looks very delicate. I shall have a piece."
He took a piece and Tang Yang was about to take it away when Prince Sun grabbed him with one
hand. "What are you doing? Just leave it here. Tang Yang, look at how stingy you are. Am I eating your
snacks?"
Tang Yang smiled. "Your Highness, I'm afraid you will eat too much"
"When did you see that I eat too much?" Prince Sun stared at him.
"Yes, you are right!" When didn't you eat too much?
Yu Wenhao's mind was in a mess. He did not have the mood to talk about delicious food with Prince
Sun so he wanted Prince Sun to finish eating quickly. "Let him have the snacks. When he finished
eating , he can go for a walk."
Prince Sun ate his snacks and said, "By the way, I just came from my father's house and I was
criticized badly. If your wife goes in, I don't know if my father will scold her too."
Yu Wenhao propped up his head. " Is father very angry?"
"Yes, I don't know why he was so angry. I just went in to greet him and was suddenly scolded by him.
He said that I didn't care about official business and only knew about food and drank all day long. He
asked me to work in the government office of the Jingzhao Department. How am I qualified to handle
cases? So I recommended you."
"Jingzhao Department?" Yu Wenhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why do you recommend
me? Are you going to recommend me to be an catcher leader?"
"How about being Capital Mayor?"
"What?" Yu Wenhao was shocked. "Father appointed you as the Capital Mayor"
The Jingzhao Department, the Centre City's government, managed the affairs of the city, and their
power was amazing. Did Father actually appoint his second brother as the Capital Mayor of the
Jingzhao Department?
He immediately understood that his father was not going to appoint his second brother, but would
choose a person from the Grand Prince to be the vice magistrate of the Jingzhao Department.
The Capital Mayor was definitely a hard and unprofitable job. Strictly speaking, being Capital Mayor will
definitely offend others. But if the Retired Emperor chose candidates from his sons, then for so many
princes, it was a good job. It meant that the Retired Emperor wanted to this person to be the future
emperor.
In the past, most of the Vice Magistrates of the Jingzhao Department were princes. When the Retired
Emperor was in power, he changed this Institution and boldly appointed foreign officials, which also
played a role in supervising the relatives of the emperor. After all, if they were not princes, there would
not be so many favors.
Yu Wenhao was shocked. What was his father going to do? As soon as the news spread, it was likely
that the princes who wanted to be emperor would compete with each other fiercely.
"Second brother, how could you recommend me to father?" Yu Wenhao really blamed Prince Sun in
heart. Father didn't trust him at all, and now his second brother recommended him without hesitation.
What would father think? He might have guessed that Yu Wenhao already wanted to be emperor.
