Although Dongfang Hao had already made some calculations in his heart and had a rough idea, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions after hearing the words of the man in black.
However, just as the tides rise and fall, even the greatest storms will have moments of calm; it is merely a matter of time.
But who is Dongfang Hao? He is the current emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom, holding the fate of the kingdom in his hands. His mindset naturally cannot be treated with an ordinary heart.
Thus, the turbulent emotions that surged within him quickly returned to calmness.
Once he regained his composure, he immediately grasped the key point in the words of the man in black. He kept pondering over what the Dark Guard had just said: "Just half a year ago, she was beaten by the Fourth Princess Luo Cai Feng from Prince Luo's Residence. After waking up, she seemed like a different person; not only could she speak, but she also possessed extraordinary skills."
He truly could not understand why a perfectly fine person would change so drastically after being beaten.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find an answer. The more he pondered, the deeper his confusion grew, and his furrowed brows only became more pronounced.
After thinking for a long time, his mind remained empty, without a single answer to resolve his doubts. Therefore, he had no choice but to set this question aside and explore it slowly when he visited Prince Luo's Residence.
He glanced lightly at the Dark Guard kneeling before him and waved his hand to signal him to withdraw.
Upon seeing His Majesty Dongfang Hao's gesture, the man in black quickly moved away and vanished without a trace like a shadow.
Suddenly, only Dongfang Hao remained in the room. He had already developed a strong interest in Luo Bingbing, and after hearing the words of his personal Dark Guard, that interest deepened even further.
Thus, he thought to himself that he would need to visit Prince Luo's Residence more often to find that Little Doll and unravel these mysteries.
After sitting in his chair for a while, he stood up to prepare to rest on the Dragon Throne. Just as he got up, however, the small door leading to the secret passage opened.
He knew who had entered without looking; it was his junior disciple.
As Mu Xi walked into the chamber, his eyes immediately darted to the table, where he spotted the Roasted Mountain Chicken he had yet to finish. A smile crept onto his lips as he joyfully exclaimed, "Senior Brother! Thank you for saving this Roasted Mountain Chicken for me."
Although he was speaking to Dongfang Hao, his gaze remained fixated on the roasted meat on the table, completely ignoring his Senior Brother.
Dongfang Hao was well aware that his junior's attention was glued to the food, but he didn't mind. Casually, he said, "Xi, take your roasted meat and hurry up. Don't linger here."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xi quickly replied with a grin, "Yes, yes, I will obey your orders, Senior Brother."
With that, he swiftly cleared the table of the roasted meat and vanished at the entrance of the secret passage in an instant.
Dongfang Hao couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise at Mu Xi's speed. He thought to himself, "How come I never see him run this fast usually?"
Why did Mu Xi run so quickly? It was simply because he feared that his Senior Brother might suddenly change his mind and ask him to share the delicious roasted meat.
Thus, he disappeared before Dongfang Hao in a flash.
Once Mu Xi had left, Dongfang Hao made his way to his comfortable Dragon Throne.
Meanwhile, in Prince Luo's Residence, Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming quickly turned back to the Piaoyun Pavilion courtyard after seeing off Your Majesty Dongfang Hao.
As soon as they reached the fire pit, both of them wasted no time in grabbing the remaining roasted meat from the grill and began devouring it. After all, their stomachs had been growling for quite some time, and there wasn't much left on the grill.
Since they hadn't eaten promptly, most of the roasted meat had already been consumed by Snow Spirit Elder and Snow Spirit Fox, two notorious gluttons.
After finishing the last piece of roasted meat, everyone finally dispersed. Those returning to their courtyards went back home while others exited the residence. In no time at all, the Piaoyun Pavilion courtyard was left empty.
On a summer night, the sky was adorned with twinkling stars, resembling a galaxy paved with fine sand, lying diagonally across the vast heavens.
The earth had already fallen asleep, enveloped in a dreamlike tranquility. All living creatures seemed to have drifted into slumber, though the occasional chirping of Golden Bell Bugs added a unique flavor to the night.
Bright moonlight sneaked through the window into the room, bestowing a soft beauty upon it.
On the Ivory Bed in the room, the Little One, who had been sound asleep, suddenly opened her eyes wide. Though she had just awakened, her gaze was clear and bright, devoid of any confusion typical of someone just roused from sleep.
The Little One quickly jumped off the bed and nimbly changed into a set of night clothes. Without delay, she leaped out of the window and swiftly vanished into the night.
Indeed, this Little One was Luo Bingbing from Piaoyun Pavilion.
She skillfully evaded the Minggang sentinels within the royal residence and quickly leaped over the courtyard wall of Prince Luo's Residence.
Once outside Prince Luo's Residence, she activated her Inner Strength and utilized her Ability to float into the air, walking on clouds as she headed towards the dense forest outside the city.
When she reached the center of the forest from above, she noticed many figures moving below.
Luo Bingbing scanned the crowd and soon spotted Luo Yi. He was loudly reprimanding those undergoing training.
"Hurry up, run faster."
"If you want to avoid starving or make a name for yourself, then run faster."
Various phrases reached the ears of the Little One standing above. A faint smile appeared on her face as she observed Luo Yi leading those beggars in their hard and diligent training. The Little One couldn't help but nod slightly in approval.
Luo Bingbing stood in mid-air for a moment before swiftly departing towards the Purple Bamboo Forest in the back mountains.
Meanwhile, in the dense forest, Luo Yi, despite being a burly man with sweat soaking his clothes, was still enthusiastically directing the training of the beggars, showing no signs of fatigue whatsoever.
The more than one hundred beggars were no longer lazy; having finally gained this opportunity to change their fate, they were all working hard and diligently, as if rising above their circumstances was their ultimate goal.
Upon reaching the center of the Purple Bamboo Forest, Luo Bingbing sat on a large rock to cultivate her Ability. However, it seemed she had hit a bottleneck during this period; no matter how she practiced, she could not break through that barrier.
When dawn broke, she returned to her room right on time to sleep.
Today at Piaoyun Pavilion, only Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming were jogging and practicing in the courtyard. Unlike yesterday, they did not inquire about or search for the Snow Spirit Elder and Little Beggar Luo Yi.
In recent days, they had developed a habit of running and training in the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion every day. So now, even with just the two of them, they continued to come here to practice.
After Luo Bingbing woke up, she would also run in the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion, enjoying the sunlight alongside them and sitting in the shade to chat.
However, her conversations were mostly very brief; she would ask a question and receive a one-word answer. Sometimes whether she answered or not depended on her mood!
Life at Piaoyun Pavilion was cheerful and warm. In contrast, Azure Water Pavilion and Fragrant Pavilion were in an uproar.
Indeed, they had heard that last night His Majesty from Silver Moon Kingdom had visited Prince Luo's Residence and even went to Piaoyun Pavilion. Upon receiving this news, they immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly.
When they heard from their servant that not only did the prince and strategist eat the barbecue made by the Little Princess, but even Emperor Dongfang Hao had tasted it as well.
Upon hearing this, jealousy and resentment filled their hearts because there was nothing they could do to change it.
But when they learned that the Little One had dared to ask the emperor for money, they felt both astonished and extremely excited.
Surprisingly, this Little One is quite bold to dare ask the emperor for money, and they are excited that now that Little One has offended the emperor, good days are about to come to an end.
Thinking that Your Majesty Dongfang Hao has already visited Prince Luo's Residence once, it is very likely there will be a second and third visit...
So, here they are in the Azure Water Pavilion, discussing whether Second Princess should approach Emperor Dongfang Hao to see if she can catch his eye and enter the harem. Of course, the premise is that Your Majesty Dongfang Hao will visit Prince Luo's Residence again.
The reason Consort Luo agreed to let Second Princess Luo Caidie fly up to that branch is mainly because her Beloved Daughter is still young and currently mute.
If she does not support Luo Cai Feng, their future days will be very difficult. Thus, they became allies.
Wanting to fly up to the branch and become a phoenix is a beautiful fantasy, but reality is cruel...
The Snow Spirit Elder and others are still searching for traces of the Otherworldly Divine Star within Silver City. Needless to say, they have not found anything again.
As the sun was about to set, the Snow Spirit Elder timely caught some mountain chickens and delivered them outside the kitchen of Piaoyun Pavilion. After placing down the chickens, he instantly vanished.
Just as night fell, Luo Bingbing was invited by her so-called Father to the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion to roast those mountain chickens.
In the magnificent palace, within the Imperial Study, Dongfang Hao was seriously reviewing the Imperial Edict presented by the ministers earlier that morning.
Suddenly, the chief steward Qin Gonggong slowly walked in and knelt down, saying: "This old servant pays respects to Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"
Hearing Qin Gonggong's voice, Dongfang Hao slowly raised his head and looked at the kneeling Qin Gonggong, saying: "Get up! What is it?"
After hearing His Majesty's words, Qin Gonggong quickly replied: "This old servant has come to ask if it is time to serve dinner."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao realized it was already dinner time. Thinking about dining, he couldn't help but recall the roasted meat he had eaten last night at Prince Luo's Residence.
After squinting and pondering for a moment, Dongfang Hao slowly said, "There is no need to serve food today; I have matters to attend to."
Once he finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Qin Gonggong to withdraw. Naturally, Qin Gonggong noticed the gesture from His Majesty and, after bowing to Dongfang Hao, stepped back.
Seeing that the old eunuch had walked far away, Dongfang Hao continued to read the Imperial Edict in his hand.
After a while, he finished reading and reviewing the Imperial Edict. Setting it aside, Dongfang Hao called out loudly for Mo Xuan, who was standing outside the door.
Upon hearing the call, Mo Xuan hurriedly entered. Seeing Mo Xuan had come in, Dongfang Hao instructed, "Mo Xuan, go prepare. We will head to Prince Luo's Residence shortly. Check if they have any of that roasted meat from yesterday. Remember to bring plenty of silver notes and gold."
After hearing Dongfang Hao's words, Mo Xuan quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will prepare right away." With that, he exited.
Before long, Mo Xuan returned to report to Dongfang Hao, "Your Majesty, everything has been prepared."
"Mm, let's go!" Dongfang Hao nodded lightly and said calmly.
Thus, the two of them boarded a carriage and headed toward Prince Luo's Residence.
The exterior of the carriage was quite unremarkable and ordinary, but inside it was spacious and well-equipped.
From a distance, the guards at Prince Luo's Residence noticed a carriage that blended in with the others approaching them. Seeing how inconspicuous it was, they assumed it was merely passing by the entrance of the royal residence.
