Chapter 171 We Want to See the Princess

Zhao Haoli was extremely excited when he heard that he could stay for breakfast. He quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Father!"

His voice was clear and loud, full of respect and love for his father.

At this moment, Zhao Guoan turned to look at Eunuch Xu beside him and said slowly, "Xu De, the Imperial Concubine and I are about to have dinner. The three of you should leave for now! You can come back and serve us later."

After saying that, he waved his hand gently, signaling Wang Xinyao and others to leave.

Eunuch Xu quickly bowed and replied, "I obey your order!"

Then he and Wang Xinyao left the imperial study.

After leaving the heavy and solemn door of the imperial study, Xiao Xizi waited quietly at the door.

The sunlight fell on him, outlining a golden outline.

Eunuch Xu smiled and said softly, "Miss Wang, please come with me. I will show you around the palace."

As he spoke, he started walking slowly forward, and Wang Xinyao followed closely behind him.

Along the way, Eunuch Xu carefully introduced Wang Xinyao to the various palaces, courtyards and passages in the palace.

They walked through the flower-filled garden, around the quiet and peaceful lake, and along the corridor with carved beams and painted buildings.

Wang Xinyao was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her and stopped to admire it from time to time, but she did not dare to be too greedy, for fear of delaying her follow of Eunuch Xu.

Finally, after a tortuous journey, Eunuch Xu led Wang Xinyao to a heavily guarded place.

This is the imperial army camp. The tents are arranged neatly, the military flags are flying, and the soldiers are all in high spirits, holding spears and looking majestic.

At this time, a figure walked out quickly from the tent. This person was tall and straight, with a handsome and resolute face. He was wearing a black armor and had a sword shining with cold light on his waist. It was Zhou Yunxi, the commander of the imperial guards.

Zhou Yunxi is now in great success.

Ever since he made outstanding military achievements in the last plague incident, Emperor Zhao Guoan was very pleased and immediately appointed him as the commander of the imperial guards.

Together with the 50,000 soldiers previously recruited in Nanhu County, Zhou Yunxi now had a total of 200,000 soldiers under his command, becoming a trusted official of the imperial court.

Zhou Yunxi was standing in the corridor of the palace, thinking about something, when he suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps.

He turned around and saw Eunuch Xu walking towards him with a young eunuch.

When Wang Xinyao came up to him, Zhou Yunxi was very surprised. He had not expected Wang Xinyao to appear in the palace. After all, the palace was not a place where ordinary people could enter and exit at will.

Zhou Yunxi immediately led Wang Xinyao and Eunuch Xu to the commander's room.

After Wang Xinyao sat down, Zhou Yunxi hurried forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "I greet you, Madam. I wonder why you came to the palace today?"

His heart was full of doubts, but he didn't dare show any of them on his face.

Seeing this, Wang Xinyao smiled and said, "Get up, General Zhou, there's no need to be so polite!"

After Zhou Yunxi stood up, Wang Xinyao sorted out her thoughts a little, and then told Zhou Yunxi everything that the emperor knew about Zhao Haoxuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunxi's expression changed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He knew too well the position of Wang Xinyao in Zhao Haoxuan's mind.

"General Zhou, don't worry. While Miss Wang is in the capital, I will protect her!" Eunuch Xu said confidently.

There was a look of determination on his weathered face.

After hearing this, Zhou Yunxi felt a little relieved, but his brows were still furrowed.

He said worriedly, "Father, I'm afraid that if Madam's identity were to be known by those people, they would definitely stop at nothing and kill her! And from what I know, they are very powerful. It's really worrying."

Eunuch Xu smiled faintly and responded, "General Zhou, there's no need to worry. Don't underestimate our family. Although they are powerful, we are no weaklings. Ever since I was fortunate enough to take the third-grade Spirit Gathering Pill given by Miss Wang, I have now broken through to the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of Zhou Yunxi and Wang Xinyao.

The two of them looked at each other in astonishment, and exclaimed in unison, "What? Peak Martial Emperor Realm?"

That look of disbelief was as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

"Yes, General Zhou can rest assured now!" Eunuch Xu still had a smile on his face.

Then he asked softly, "General Zhou, I would like to meet the eldest princess, the Miss Zhao Meir you mentioned. Could you help arrange it?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yunxi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and subconsciously cast his gaze towards Wang Xinyao beside him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Mei'er?" Zhou Yunxi was very surprised that Eunuch Xu suddenly asked to see the eldest princess.

Wang Xinyao nodded slightly, indicating to Zhou Yunxi that Eunuch Xu did know about Zhao Meir's affairs.

Seeing Wang Xinyao's actions, Zhou Yunxi still had some doubts in his heart, but he quickly replied respectfully: "My Lord, you don't know that Mei'er is not here at the moment."

"Then when can I see her?" Eunuch Xu asked anxiously.

Zhou Yunxi replied, "She only comes to see me every ten days, and each time she refuses to tell me where she's hiding. However, she once told me she's safe now. Based on past experience, she'll come to see me the day after tomorrow!"

After listening to Zhou Yunxi's words, Eunuch Xu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I can wait. I just hope the general can notify me in advance."

Zhou Yunxi nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Wang Xinyao opened her red lips and asked, "Eunuch, when I was telling the Emperor about Brother Zhao just now, why did you stop me from telling him about the eldest princess?"

Eunuch Xu's face was heavy, his brows furrowed as he slowly replied, "This matter is of great importance. I think it would be best if I could meet the princess in person first, only then could I determine who gave birth to her."

After saying this, he fell into a brief period of contemplation.

After a while, Eunuch Xu raised his head and said, "I have been with the Emperor since childhood. I know very well the Emperor's deep affection for the daughter of the former Prime Minister."

"The emperor is not in good health now. If the eldest princess is really the daughter of that girl as we guessed, then things will become complicated." Eunuch Xu continued.

"Given the emperor's current condition, I'm afraid he can't withstand such a huge shock!" When he said this, Eunuch Xu's face was full of worry, as if a heavy rock was pressing on his heart.

After hearing this, Wang Xinyao nodded slightly and said in agreement, "My Lord, you are indeed very thoughtful. It is I who was rude."
