Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: I Think I Just Heard Something Shocking
Emperor Yong’an sighed and frowned while thinking, ‘If it weren’t for my weakness, Fu Huang would not have sent A Quan to the battlefield so he could hand over military power to a ten-year-old boy. I really don’t know how to compensate for his sacrifice. Should I find him a wife to accompany him in his lonely life?’

Noticing that his elder cousin suddenly stopped talking, Xuan Ruiquan raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yong’an and asked, “What’s wrong? Are those old foxes bothering you again? Do you need me to help you take care of them?”

Hearing Xuan Ruiquan’s questions, Emperor Yong’an came back from his thoughts and smiled, “I was just thinking about those ministers and generals who asked about you.”

Xuan Ruiquan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Do you want me to teach them a lesson?”

Emperor Yong’an listened to his words and chuckled, “Silly. They just want to know if you have any intention of getting married. Some of them even asked me to issue a marriage decree to you and their daughter.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the room dropped sharply. Emperor Yong’an was trembling with cold and said displeasedly, “Why are you angry? I’m just answering your question.”

Xuan Ruiquan was well aware of his elder cousin’s willfulness and warned him, “Your Majesty, I have told you not to interfere in my private life. If you have too much free time, how about I choose a woman for you? You are twenty-seven years old, and your back palace is still empty. Now, you should at least marry an empress, right?”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yong’an hurriedly stood up and walked to Xuan Ruiquan. He patted Xuan Ruiquan on the shoulder and said seriously, “Who needs a woman? We are both too young to get married. A Quan, let’s not get married in this life!”

Brushing off Emperor Yong’an’s hand, Xuan Ruiquan muttered in a low voice, “Who said I don’t want to get married in this life? As long as she agrees, I will marry her without hesitation.”

After hearing what he had just said, Emperor Yong’an opened his eyes wide in surprise, “What did you say? I think I just heard something shocking.”

Emperor Yong’an looked at Xuan Ruiquan’s expressionless face and rubbed his ears in shock and confusion. Before he could ask Xuan Ruiquan to repeat what he had just said, the door was opened from the outside.

Qiu Yuanbo came in, saluted Emperor Yong’an, then saluted Xuan Ruiquan, and said, “Your Majesty, Wangye, the water is ready.”

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan stood up and followed Qiu Yuanbo out. Seeing that Xuan Ruiquan had walked away, Emperor Yong’an hurriedly asked, “A Quan, will you attend tonight’s banquet?”

Xuan Ruiquan paused, turned to look at Emperor Yong’an, and said, “I won’t show up for the time being. We can’t let Duan Qinwang know that I’m back. Otherwise, he will cancel all his plans for the summer banquet. Also, remember to be careful with Rui Qinwang. He is not as simple as he seems.”

“Then what will you do now? Do you have any plans?” Emperor Yong’an asked again.

Xuan Ruiquan stared at Emperor Yong’an and said, “Biao Ge, have you forgotten that you handed me a new case for me to investigate? Moreover, I captured a group of bandits and needed to interrogate them. I also need to collect more evidence before we can convict Duan Qinwang in accordance with the law. Do you still think I have no plan for now?”

Listening to Xuan Ruiquan’s words, Emperor Yong’an fell into silence. After a few seconds, he said guiltily, “Remember to take a rest. I will send the medicinal materials to nourish your body to your mansion.”

After Emperor Yong’an said that, Xuan Ruiquan clasped his fists and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty. Remember, be careful with Rui Qinwang.”

Leaving these words behind, he followed Qiu Yuanbo to the dragon pool to bathe. Seeing that their master had left, Jian Yi and others clasped their fists and said, “Your Majesty, we will take our leave.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yi and others disappeared. After everyone left, Emperor Yong’an was the only one left in the spacious side hall.

He rubbed his chin and pondered in a low voice, “Since I have nothing to do, should I go to the banquet early?”

When Xuan Ruiquan arrived at the dragon pool, Emperor Yong’an was already on his way to Qian Qing Palace, and the palace banquet started earlier than scheduled. Because of this, when the Imperial Kitchen staff received the order to deliver meals in advance, they worked twice as fast and nearly fainted from overexertion.

Far away from the bustling Qian Qing Palace, Xuan Ruiquan looked at Qiu Yuanbo and said, “You don’t have to serve me anymore.”

Qiu Yuanbo knew that Xuan Ruiquan didn’t like others to serve him, so he said, “Then please enjoy your time, Wangye. If you need anything, you can just order the servants.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded to him and opened the door. After he walked into the dragon pool and closed the door behind him, Qiu Yuanbo looked at the imperial guards standing outside the dragon pool and said, “While Wangye is inside, don’t let anyone get close.”

The imperial guards cupped their fists and said, “Yes, Qiu Gong Gong.”

After confirming that everyone had left, Qiu Yuanbo left and headed to Qian Qing Palace with a group of servants. Inside the dragon pool, Xuan Ruiquan took off his clothes and walked into the big hot spring. When his body was submerged in the pool, he closed his eyes and practiced his internal strength.

Thirty minutes later, he opened his eyes and said, “Jian Yi.”

The next second, Jian Yi appeared and knelt behind him. Jian Yi lowered his head and asked, “What are your instructions, Master?”

Xuan Ruiquan was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Send someone to monitor Rui Qinwang and Li Junwang.”
