Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 222

Chapter 222: Emperor Yong’an’s Scheme
Slap! Slap! Slap!

Slapping sounds echoed in the silent surroundings, sending shivers down the spines of the palace maids and eunuchs hiding behind the walls of Ci Ning Palace. Seeing that Guo Mo Mo’s face was swollen like a pig, Emperor Yong’an lazily raised his hand.

Qiu Yuanbo saw this and said, “That is enough.”

Following his words, the imperial guard stepped aside, but the other two imperial guards still held on Guo Mo Mo’s arms. She raised her head to look at Emperor Yong’an in confusion, with tears in her eyes. Guo Mo Mo opened her lips to speak, but her words were unclear because her cheeks were swollen, and saliva flowed from the corners of her lips.

“Your Majesty, what crime did this servant commit to deserve such punishment?” Guo Mo Mo asked angrievely.

It was not Emperor Yong’an who answered her, but Qiu Yuanbo. He smiled and said, “Guo Mo Mo, you dare to block His Majesty’s way, and you still dare ask what your crime is?”

The moment Guo Mo Mo heard these words, she finally realized that she had indeed blocked the emperor’s way just now. Seeing her pale face, Qiu Yuanbo sighed and said, “If it weren’t for His Majesty’s filial piety towards Huang Tai Hou, Guo Mo Mo, your head might have fallen to the ground right now.”

After speaking, Qiu Yuanbo signaled the imperial guards and said, “Drag her away.”

After dealing with Guo Mo Mo, he turned around and walked to the side of the imperial sedan. Emperor Yong’an glanced at Guo Momo, who was kneeling on the roadside, and said, “Let’s go. Zhen misses Huang Tai Hou and wants to greet her today. It would be bad if Zhen is late.”

Qiu Yuanbo smiled and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

After speaking, Qiu Yuanbo looked at the eunuchs and said, “Lift the imperial sedan. Let’s go.”

Seeing Emperor Yong’an and his entourage walk past the entrance of Ci Ning Palace, Guo Mo Mo quickly stood up and ran to the back door of Ci Ning Palace. Judging from what just happened, Guo Mo Mo was sure that Emperor Yong’an would not leave before seeing Huang Tai Hou. Today, it seems that Huang Tai Hou may not be able to escape unscathed today.

While Emperor Yong’an was still on his way to the main hall of Ci Ning Palace, Guo Mo Mo had already rushed into the bedroom. Dai Qianyi was about to reprimand her for her rude behavior but saw Guo Mo Mo’s swollen face and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with your face?”

Having no time to answer that question, Guo Mo Mo quickly knelt down in front of Dai Qianyi and said. “It’s not good, Huang Tai Hou.”

Her words were unclear because she was too hasty, and Dai Qianyi could only hear a few incoherent words from her. Seeing Guo Mo Mo’s anxious face, Dai Qianyi climbed up from the bed and said impatiently, “Speaks clearly! What do you mean when you say it’s not good? What happened?”

Hearing this, Guo Mo Mo felt aggrieved. Her face was swollen, and her lips were like sausages. How could she speak clearly? Although Guo Mo Mo felt aggrieved, she could only swallow it and hide her feelings.

Seeing Dai Qianyi’s cold expression, Guo Mo Mo trembled and said hurriedly, “The Emperor has already walked through the entrance of Ci Ning Palace. He should be here soon.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Qiu Yuanbo’s high-pitched voice announce the arrival of Emperor Yong’an from outside, “The Emperor has arrived!”

Hearing this, Dai Qianyi’s face darkened. She lay back on the bed and said, “Hurry up! Close the bed curtain!”

The first-rank palace maids quickly lowered the bed curtain and stood aside with their heads lowered while Guo Mo Mo hid behind the folding screen. Before Guo Mo Mo could take a breath, Emperor Yong’an walked into the bedroom without permission.

As soon as he passed the door, the palace maids and eunuchs quickly knelt on the ground and said, “Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years.”

Emperor Yong’an ignored them, and none of them dared to stand up or raise their heads. Seeing the bed curtains being lowered, Emperor Yong’an walked to the bedside. After Qiu Yuanbo put the stool beside the bed, Emperor Yong’an sat down calmly and sighed.

Behind the curtain, Dai Qianyi heard his sigh but made no sound. After a moment of silence, Emperor Yong’an said, “Huang Tai Hou, Zhen is here to greet you. How have you been these days?”

Listening to Emperor Yong’an’s words, Dai Qianyi sneered, but when she spoke, her voice was weak and gentle.

“Ai Jia is fine. It’s just that it’s hot this summer, and Ai Jia’s old bones can’t stand the hot weather. The emperor need not worry.”

Emperor Yong’an showed concern on his handsome face and said, “This is Zhen’s negligence. Zhen will ask Yuanbo to send more ice cubes to Ci Ning Palace so Huang Tai Hou can cool down the heat.”

Since Emperor Yong’an showed concern, albeit it was fake, Dai Qianyi could only follow him and said, “Then Ai Jia will thank Your Majesty for your care.”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yong’an sighed again. Dai Qianyi guessed that he wanted to talk again and waited. However, after waiting for a long time, Emperor Yong’an still didn’t say anything.

Since Emperor Yong’an refused to speak first, Dai Qianyi could only ask, “Your Majesty, do you have any troubles?”

Emperor Yong’an sighed one more time and replied sadly, “Zhen just realized that Huang Tai Hou is no longer young. This fact makes Zhen sad.”

Dai Qianyi didn’t understand what he wanted by saying these words, so she could only act according to circumstances and said, “Everyone will grow old. This is natural. Your Majesty doesn’t need to be sad.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Yong’an nodded and smiled, “Huang Tai Hou is right. Since you are in poor health, Zhen should not add any more work burden to you.”
