“Hmph, you only know how to say nice things.”
Xuanyuan Qi argued with the ministers for nearly two hours because of state affairs. It was not easy for the court to end and for him to have a quiet breakfast. Xuanyuan Ye came to visit right after. He had yet to drink a drop of water and was indeed thirsty.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip. “I heard that you caught a cold a few days ago. It seems that it’s good that you can enter the palace now. Go and pay my respects to your imperial grandmother later so that she won’t miss you.”
“I understand.” Xuanyuan Ye agreed obediently. She thought of something and her face fell. “My mother was injured yesterday. The doctor said that there might be a scar. Uncle, can you give me a box of Jade Skin Cream?
“Jade Skin Cream?” It was just a box of scar removal ointment. Xuanyuan Qi did not think too much about it and said directly, “There was indeed another box, but your father took it away.”
“Is your mother seriously injured? Why don’t we get the imperial physician to take a look? The scar removal ointment they make is not inferior to that Jade
Skin Cream.”
His father had entered the palace to beg for Jade Skin Cream?
Xuanyuan Ye’s first reaction was that he came to take it for her mother. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
However, she quickly rejected this thought, but she still asked hopefully,
“When did Father take it away?”
“I remember it was around three o’clock yesterday.”
It was right after he left the residence. Xuanyuan Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps his father was not as heartless to his mother as he looked on the surface.
However, after she left Xuanyuan Ce’s residence, she did not even see him, let alone the Jade Skin Cream.
She guessed, “Then my father stayed in the palace yesterday?”
“No, he left after paying his respects to your grandmother. He didn’t even stay for dinner.”
Every time Xuanyuan Ce returned to Phoenix City, Xuanyuan Ye would come to him to ask about his whereabouts.
Xuanyuan Qi was already used to it.
However, at this point, Xuanyuan Qi thought of something else.
“By the way, I remember sending a Demon Guard to protect you.”
Having to take back the Demon Guard, Xuanyuan Qi could not hide his embarra.s.sment. After saying that, he picked up his teacup uncomfortably and took a sip to hide his embarra.s.sment.
“Huh?” Xuanyuan Ye was still thinking about the Jade Skin Cream. When she suddenly heard about the Demon Guard, her heart skipped a beat and she forced a smile. “Uncle, are you talking about Night Soul? That’s right.”
She carefully glanced at Xuanyuan Qi’s expression, unable to figure out why he suddenly mentioned the Demon Guards. She pursed her lips and said, “Are you still angry about Ye’er asking him to kill someone? Mother has already taught Ye’er a lesson because of this. Ye’er really knows her mistake. At that time, Ji Yunxi wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h everything from me. I couldn’t help but be angry.” Xuanyuan Ye was about to cry as she spoke.
Xuanyuan Qi comforted him. “I watched you grow up. I naturally know that you’ve been a little headstrong since you were young, but you don’t have any bad intentions.”
Xuanyuan Ye heaved a sigh of relief and continued.
“I thought about it. You’re a girl, so you don’t need the Demon Guard. I’m going to call Night Soul back and give you two secret guards. How about that?”
Not to mention two secret guards, even ten of them couldn’t compare to one Night Soul.
Xuanyuan Ye really wanted to cry this time. Since he had already said so much, did she have any room to refuse?
However…
Her eyes flashed and she said, “Imperial Uncle’s arrangements are naturally for Ye’er’s own good, but Night Soul was just sent out by Ye’er.”
Xuanyuan Qi glanced at her.
“It’s Grandmother’s birthday in a few days.” Xuanyuan Ye tightened his grip the handkerchief and continued, “I heard that a merchant in the Jiang state obtained a jade stone half the height of a person. Grandmother has always doted on me, so I wanted Night Soul to buy that jade stone. When the time comes, I’ll get someone to carve the jade into a Buddha statue and give it to Grandmother as a birthday gift.”
The corners of Xuanyuan Qi’s mouth twitched. As expected of a girl, she wou use the lethal weapon of the human world as an errand boy.
If You Yi knew what he was thinking, he would respond, “That’s because you never seen anyone use Demon Guards as mounts or stalkers. My master evel uses a Demon Guard to secretly beat someone up.”
“I remember that Mother’s birthday is still more than half a year away,” Xuanyuan Qi said.
“Yes, that’s right. I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time.”
Xuanyuan Qi nodded. “Thank you. We’ll talk about this when he returns. I’ll give you the two secret guards first.”
Afraid that she would expose herself if she stayed any longer, Xuanyuan Ye bowed. “Thank you, Uncle. I’ll go and see Grandmother first.”
“Go. Don’t forget to bring the imperial physician along when you leave the palace. ”
“I understand.”
The door of the Imperial Qian Palace closed again. Xuanyuan Qi knocked on the desk. “Ye Ming, go and investigate.”
There was a fluctuation in the air, but it quickly returned to calm..
