Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

"Your Majesty, the Regent is here." Eunuch Wei walked up to the little emperor and whispered in his ear.

The little emperor frowned slightly, asked Nan Yusheng to step down, sat down in his seat, lowered his eyes slightly, and played with the jade ring on his hand.

Why did the regent come to the palace so late at night?

When Ye Fuheng walked into the hall, he happened to pass by Nan Yusheng. Both of them paused at the same time. Ye Fuheng glanced at him and then looked away.

"Why did the Regent come here so late at night?" asked the little emperor.

"My wife and Princess Changle are both poisoned and in critical condition. They need the Nine-Life Flower as a medicine. It is my fault for disturbing Your Majesty by entering the palace late at night. I will leave it to Your Majesty to deal with it later. I only ask Your Majesty to give me medicine."

"Oh?" The little emperor laughed as if he heard something interesting, but suddenly stopped at the end of his low laugh.

"I never thought that the regent king would come to me one day to beg for mercy. However, I cannot decide on the Nine-Life Flower, which is a magical medicine passed down by our great ancestor."

As the lights flickered, Ye Fuheng's expression did not change. He looked so cold. He stretched out his fingers to gently lift up his robe, knelt on the ground, and performed the etiquette between a king and his subject.

"I beg Your Majesty to give me medicine to save my wife Jinhua."

As the regent, he had promised the young emperor the privilege of not having to kneel when he ascended the throne.

Now, this first ceremony between the emperor and his subjects happened under such circumstances.

The palace maids around held their breath, and even Eunuch Wei's hand couldn't help but tremble.

The little emperor looked at Ye Fuheng with a dim gaze. He thought of countless scenarios of Ye Fuheng surrendering and bowing his head, but he never expected that he would kneel down because of a woman.

How interesting!

"Eunuch Wei, take my token and go to the treasury to get the Nine-Life Flower. The princess and the young princess are waiting."

"promise."

Eunuch Wei took the token and trotted out. After a while, he came back with a jade box in his hands. He knelt down respectfully and held the jade box high.

"Your Majesty, the Jiusheng Flower has been brought."

The little emperor took a look and said nonchalantly, "Give it to the Regent."

Eunuch Wei did not stand up, but walked on his knees to Ye Fuheng. Before he got close, he smelled a strong smell of blood and medicine. Looking at the other's cold face, he hurriedly lowered his eyes and respectfully handed over the Jiusheng Flower.

Ye Fuheng's face was extremely pale at this time. He reached out and picked up the jade box, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Eunuch Wei was shocked. He felt that the regent's cold and stern eyes suddenly smiled, and under the light, they seemed to have a bit more humanity.

If Eunuch Wei hadn't been close, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ye Fuheng stood up, leaving blood marks where he had been kneeling.

The young emperor naturally discovered that Ye Fuheng was injured a long time ago, but pretended not to know and let him kneel. He sat on top of him and watched the blood color disappear from his face, turning it pale.

After Ye Fuheng left, the little emperor stood up and asked Eunuch Wei beside him, "I remember that the regent's princess is called Zhi Jinhuan, the granddaughter of the previous prime minister."

"Yes, and she was once engaged to Nan-sama."

The little emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards the harem: "Send her information to me tomorrow. The more detailed the better."

"The poisoning of the princess and the county lady is a serious matter. Let all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital go and check to make sure they are safe."

-

Nan Yusheng came out of the hall and found that the stars in the night sky had disappeared long ago, and even the bright moon was hidden in the clouds. There was an sudden thunder in the sky, and the dark sky suddenly brightened up. Then, the sound of rain fell cracklingly.

"grown ups."

The eunuch from the Hall of Supreme Harmony handed over an umbrella and a glazed palace lantern. Nan Yusheng took them and slowly stepped into the rain, his elegant figure pacing forward and backward.

The sound of thunder was extremely dull. Nan Yusheng felt as if the sound hit his heart directly, causing him to feel uneasy.

He looked up at the rain, feeling the wind and rain blowing fiercely across his face. What lingered in his mind was the blood on Ye Fuheng's clothes when he just passed by him.

Nan Yusheng tightened his grip on the umbrella, walked out of the palace gate, and found that the servants of the Nan Mansion were still waiting.

"grown ups."

The servant ran over holding an umbrella, splashing water on the ground as he stepped on it: "Sir, there are clothes in the carriage, please change quickly to avoid catching a cold."

"Why are you still here?"

"The old lady knew that the master had cleared his name today, so she asked me to wait here. She also specially prepared a banquet in the mansion to get rid of the bad luck of the master in prison."

After Nan Yusheng was falsely imprisoned, the Nan Mansion suddenly received a thick letter and account book. Old Madam Nan took the letter to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother, who then helped Nan Yusheng clear his name.

He was supposed to stay in jail for ten days or half a month, but he was released after only three or four days.

After washing up in the palace, he was kept by the young emperor, who wanted to marry Princess An Ning to him.

Nan Yusheng got on the carriage and said to the air, "Go check if Ai Ai is in trouble."

The Nan family is a big family after all, so they naturally have some means and sources of intelligence. Thinking about the unusual things tonight, Nan Yusheng felt more and more uneasy.

A fierce look appeared in his gentle eyes.

Ye Fuheng, if anything happens to Xixi, I will make you feel the pain at all costs.

When they returned to the mansion, the old lady immediately stepped forward and grabbed his hand, with tears in her eyes: "You have lost weight, you have lost weight."

"Mom, I'm fine."

Nan Yusheng supported her arm and walked inside. Looking at the food on the table, he asked the person behind the old lady, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Sir, the old lady has been waiting for you to come back, but she refuses to start eating first."

Nan Yusheng said helplessly: "I've sent a message that His Majesty has asked me to stay in the palace for dinner. Don't wait for me next time. I don't know when I will be back."

"Can this be the same?" The old lady had only eaten some pastries to fill her stomach. Now that she saw Nan Yusheng coming back, she started eating.

She seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a moment: "Yusheng, if you don't want to get married, I can't force you to do it by dying. But, don't go against the Regent. These past few days, my mind has been full of the scene of you being taken away."

Nan Yusheng just said: "If you walk upright and sit upright, why should you stoop to fear slander?"

The old lady sighed and stopped talking.

Suddenly, the old lady spoke again in a sullen voice: "It would be great if Ai Ai was still here. I don't know if I, with my old bones, can ever see her again. I left a few pieces of cloth that she liked, and I also asked someone to find the ancient books she mentioned before."

"It's inconvenient to do anything else because I'm afraid it will damage her reputation. Please ask her good friend to give the ancient book to her."

Even though the other person was not her daughter-in-law, the old lady was still concerned about her.

Nan Yusheng's eyelashes trembled slightly and he almost couldn't hold the chopsticks in his hand. He silently accompanied the old lady to finish the meal before carrying the wine to the west building.

The west wind was biting, Nan Yusheng's eyes were cold and dark. He looked at the lightning tearing through the sky. He reached out to catch the rain under the eaves. Finally, amid the thunder and lightning, he glimpsed a figure from the water.

"I'm sorry, I finally broke my promise not to love you anymore."

"Ai Ai, I miss you."
