Promoted to Imperial Eunuch

These people were also organized. Because of their existence, the little emperor could sleep peacefully.

At the very least, no one was allowed to approach within a few hundred meters of the young emperor.

Let's turn our attention back to the imperial court.

Seeing that none of the civil and military officials below would say anything, the young emperor knew that today would definitely be the same as usual. It would be another meaningless morning court assembly.

As expected, the situation lasted for more than fifteen minutes, but it was still so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Originally, the young emperor still hoped that General Mu could participate in the morning court assembly today and step forward to break this stalemate.

After all, he had become her father-in-law.

There was no need to say anything else. He had already become a member of the young emperor's faction.

However, the young emperor didn't expect that General Mu would still not attend today's court meeting.

Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that she didn't sleep with the empress on their wedding night.

She made sure that the news was sent out last night. Why wasn't the general here yet?

That was right. The small bamboo tube that Yu'er sent out last night had been intercepted by those mysterious women in white before it could leave the harem.

When the young emperor saw the contents, she naturally wouldn't stop the information from getting out.

Thus, with the young emperor's deliberate help, the small bamboo tube was successfully sent out.

Finally, after waiting for fifteen minutes, the young emperor could only sigh inwardly.

She stood up and glanced at her two uncles meaningfully. Then, she flicked her wide sleeve and strode toward the back.

The grand eunuch in front of the hall announced in a hurry.

"The court is adjourned…"

With that, all the civil and military officials seemed to have woken up and immediately regained their vitality.

As they moved around, they began to talk to each other.

They looked like completely different people from before.

Soon, these people began to walk out one after another. At the same time, they involuntarily began to split into three camps.

Naturally, the two lords were the main leaders.

However, no one felt anything unusual about this. Even the guards outside the hall were already used to it.

After the young emperor's side, she strode out of the council hall and headed straight for imperial study.

Her exquisite face remained livid.

Anyone could tell that the young emperor was in a bad mood.

The palace maids and eunuchs behind her didn't even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would offend the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I'm back."

In the imperial study, the young emperor was doing just the same as Lin Yi saw the day before, flipping through the uneventful memorials that her subordinate had deliberately submitted.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the old eunuch Liu appeared in front of the young emperor.

Seeing this, the young emperor threw the bamboo slip in her hand onto the table and leaned back. After finding a relatively comfortable position, she said to Liu,

"Have you investigated everything?"

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch reached into his robes and took out a sheepskin scroll. Then, he carried it with both hands and sat in front of the young emperor.

There was no other choice. Paper hadn't been invented, and the bamboo slip was too heavy and couldn't contain a lot of words, so the secret letter was mostly written on animal skin or silk.

Seeing this, the young emperor reached out to take it and opened it to take a look.

However, she began to frown.

After a long while, she put down the sheepskin and stared at Liu.

Liu deliberately lowered his voice and carefully said,

"I've checked everything about that chef since he entered the palace. Other than finding out that he was sent in by Lord Yong'an, I didn't find anything else.

"However, I've already sent someone to investigate his extended family. If there's any news, I'll report to Your Majesty immediately."

After a slight pause, a conflicted expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the young emperor immediately frowned.

"Go on."

The old eunuch bowed and said,

"In addition, I also found out that the method of making these pastries came from Lord Yong'an's residence…"

At this point, Liu's voice suddenly stopped as if he hadn't said anything.

The young emperor raised her brows.

"Are you saying that the Seven Star Grass pastries were arranged by Lord Yong'an?"

The old eunuch's face immediately turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"I wouldn't dare. I'm just informing Your Majesty of everything I've investigated. I hope Your Majesty can decide on everything."

The young emperor only waved her hand.

"Alright, you've been serving me since I was ten years old. I've never distrusted you.

"I see. You can stop the investigation for now.

"I'm tired. You can leave now."

"Of course. I'll take my leave."

After the old eunuch left, the young emperor suddenly sat up straight. At the same time, coldness flashed across her originally tired eyes. At the same time, she muttered to herself,

"Looks like you're really Lord Yongding's man."

She then spoke to someone behind the screen.

"Come out."

As soon as she said that, a white figure immediately appeared in front of her.

This person was none other than the white-robed woman who had been sent to monitor the old eunuch.

"What is Little Lin doing?"

However, the moment the young emperor opened her mouth, she didn't ask about the poison. Instead, she asked Lin Yi.

However, the white-robed woman seemed to have been prepared for this very sudden question.

After the young emperor asked, she replied,

"Your Majesty, he's weeding the etiquette room."

Upon hearing this, the young emperor involuntarily changed her expression.

It was as if she wanted to laugh but held it back.

"That's good practice for his temperament. It can stop him from thinking about running away all the time."

After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said,

"Prepare a decree to promote him to an imperial eunuch. He'll be given a jade belt and a hundred taels of silver. He'll study in the etiquette room during the day and come to the imperial study at night to be on duty."

After that, the woman in white immediately bowed and left.

Once the woman was gone, the young emperor finally couldn't help but laugh.

"I think this guy will definitely be grateful after hearing my arrangements.

"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. After all, when I use you, it's usually only at night."
