The sky gradually brightened, the clouds stained red by the

morning sun slowly dispersed, very soon it became a cloudless clear sky for

thousands of miles, vast clearness, boundless water, clearing people’s minds

wide open, Zhao Jin Yu took a deep breath, it was cold, but the air she

breathed into her chest was fresh and crisp, was.h.i.+ng clean all the turbulence,

carefree and relaxed she thought this was a new start right?

“Stone, why are you still not asleep?” Zhao Jin Yu knew the

stone couldn’t appear in its body during the day, now it still stubbornly struggled

to remain awake, very worried about his body, gently stroking its badly damaged

corner, feeling slightly guilty she said, “Relax, from now on I’ll always carry

you on me, look at this bag, I will put you inside, then tied to my body.” Zhao

Jin Yu took a small red silk bag pointing it for the stone.

The emperor saw the silk bag was a somewhat old pale yellow,

involuntarily recalling the undergarments she wore a few days ago, it was like

this piece of cloth, he immediately narrowed his eyes, chidingly saying,

“Outrageous, you actually used the cloth from your undergarment to make a bag?”

Zhao Jin Yu had always treated the emperor as a child stone

spirit, like a young infant crying piteously for food, would you be angry with

a young infant? Of course not, she laughed hehe saying, “Aiya, is our little

thing embarra.s.sed? Didn’t you sleep on my chest a few days ago? Now you look

down on my undergarment?”

“You don’t have a sense of honour!” The emperor screwed up

his nose in anger, his ident.i.ty inevitably allowed him to only come across

dignified and graceful women, even if they were extremely scheming, at most

they only concentrated on their clothes and manner, never before has he met

such a bold and unconstrained woman like Zhao Jin Yu who he saw as simply a

wanton woman! 

Of course Zhao Jin Yu did not know about his main body. = . =

Hearing the emperor’s words a sudden mischief rushed into

Zhao Jin Yu’s mind, holding the stone she rubbed it against her cleavage,

inciting the emperor’s anger that he wailed loudly, Zhao Jin Yu hearing the

stone’s soft and sticky cute voice, her laughter was melodious, eyes s.h.i.+ning,

like a blossoming sunflower, attracting sidelong glances, she half-jokingly

said, “Little thing, you eat mine, use mine, now you even touched me, you need

to take responsibility for me, but let’s wait until you can transform, I reckon

you can take your sweet time?” Zhao Jin Yu knew spirits cannot transform their

appearance every thousands of years, on the basis of the stone’s words, he

ought to have just become a spirit.

“You who is below the level of ordinary people? Suitable for

me? You’re not even fit to carry my shoes!” The emperor arrogantly said.

Zhao Jin Yu was now slightly unhappy, the sound creaking

from her teeth gritting together, she said, “Little thing, I just don’t

understand, how can your mouth be so malicious? Could it be you don’t know how

to treat someone with due respect?”

“You don’t have such a status.” The emperor said

unhesitatingly, with an aloof and remote superiority.

Zhao Jin Yu, “…”

“Oh, stop!”

“I’ll put you away, I don’t want to see you right now!” Zhao

Jin Yu placed the stone in the bag, shaking it, hearing it cry out, she was rather

distressed, but still feigning nonchalant she said, “If you don’t listen to me

in the future I will punish you like this, yi, why won’t you speak?”

The stone suddenly stopped struggling, like it had no soul,

Zhao Jin Yu very naturally thought of its wound, urgently opening up the bag,

as a result…, the stone shot out like a rocket, hitting Zhao Jin Yu’s hand.

“So, you want to act up!” Zhao Jin Yu stooped to pick up the

stone from the floor.

The emperor shot at glance at Zhao Jin Yu showing off his

strength, bouncing off, this wasn’t the snow covered ground, his movements

weren’t restricted, he made his way into a narrow s.p.a.ce, Zhao Jin Yu panickily

chased after it, without paying attention to the table and stools, she hit her

head several times, angrily she puffed out her cheeks and pouted like an always

sulky little rabbit, at the beginning the emperor had only thought of teaching

her a lesson…, now, his face gradually relaxed.

The room gradually filled with Zhao Jin Yu’s melodious

laughter, and thumping sound, and it was while the two of them were chasing

after the other a knocking sound came from outside the door, “Miss, your

breakfast.” The bottom deck of the s.h.i.+p was the kitchen, several female cooks

worked below, guests could order their own meal, and can bring their own food.

Zhao Jin Yu glared at the stone, the meaning was, you need

to behave for me, after straightening up her clothes she went to open the door,

a little girl of seven or eight years old stood outside the door, suntanned but

with a nimble appearance, st.u.r.dy posture, two hands steadily holding a red

lacquered tray with a Chinese flowering crab-apple drawing, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with food

on top, “Miss, my name is Juan Er, I will be cleaning here, delivering food is

also my job, you only have to tell me.” Juan Er finished speaking and faced

Zhao Jin Yu with a sweet, sweet smile, dark large eyes gleamed, giving Zhao Jin

Yu a rather good impression, she again said, “I will carry this food in for

you.”

“No need, I can do it myself.” Zhao Jin Yu was afraid the

stone would cause trouble inside the room causing suspicion in the young girl,

she took the initiative to take the tray.

Juan Er also didn’t persist, many guests did not like

strangers entering their rooms, she smiled handing the tray over to Zhao Jin

Yu, saying, “Miss, it’s a bit heavy, hold it properly, don’t drop it”

“That red pot is hot, that blue and white porcelain bowl is

rice, this is…” Juan Er finished carefully speaking, “When you’re done just

place it outside, I will come and take the bowls and chopsticks later.”

“Thank you.” Zhao Jin Yu naturally expressed grat.i.tude.

It was actually the first time Juan Er had been thanked in

this way, she was stunned for a moment but very quickly recovered her

expression, her gaze became slightly warming, saying, “You’re welcome.”

Zhao Jin Yu smelled the fragrance of the food, saying to the

stone, “Come quickly to eat.”

The emperor was already beyond tired, detecting the stone

was gradually losing its spirit, urging him to leave quickly, but Zhao Jin Yu

again carried food over, immediately feeling his stomach rumble with hunger,

difficult to ignore the hunger…, however yesterday he had eaten three meat

wedged in steamed buns, could a stone’s body also grow?

Zhao Jin Yu gently placed the stone into clear water to wash

clean, then placed it into the caterpillar fungus spare ribs soup, seeing the

soup bubble with splashes, she couldn’t help say, “Drink slowly, this is to

supplement your body.”

The emperor laid in the warm like spring soup, the smell of

food all around seeped into his soul, he unconsciously closed his eyes,

releasing a breath, rumbling he again drank a mouthful of soup, warmth spread

throughout his body, through the milky white soup he looked at the somewhat

hazy Zhao Jin Yu…, an unknown emotion rippling through his heart, he eventually

began to examine a certain problem, is it really a calamity?

Zhao Jin Yu ate half a bowl of rice before seeing the stone

was unmoving in the soup, just now it had been in high spirits giving off

bubbles…, after calling out a few times she was then certain it was asleep, smiling,

she used chopsticks to pick the stone out, her mind couldn’t help think of

ridicules, luckily it had fallen asleep, otherwise every time she used the

chopsticks to pick it up, it would not be happy, thinking she was recklessly

careless with it, = . =

“Sleep well.” Zhao Jin Yu wiped the stone clean, gently

placing it in the bag, recalling the stone had sustain loss, suffering some

pain, separated by the silk she lightly kissed it.

Inside the Hanzhen’s palace, the emperor expressionlessly

allowed the palace maids to dress him, but suddenly he felt that his face was lightly

touched…, stroking lightly like a b.u.t.terfly wing, unimaginably soft, his heart

suddenly lurched.

The emperor looked at the meal table, saying, “Why isn’t

there caterpillar fungus spare ribs soup?” thinking about it he had only ate

half of it, = . =

Rui Fu felt the emperor was getting weirder and weirder

recently, apart from that time he suddenly cried out in the middle of the

night, scaring so many people to run around in circles, in the end when the

imperial physician came to feel his pulse, he only said there was nothing wrong

with the emperor, but he would wake up!

Thinking about what he went through that night, Rui Fu was

still indeterminately frightened, he could recall, the usually steady as Mount

Tai An Wen Yao tightly clenching his fists, sparks emitting from his scarlet

eyes, looking like if he knew who was the murderer he would make mincemeat of

him, that sort of violent aura, even looking at him he was felt extremely fearful.

Fortunately at early morning the emperor woke up, or else…,

Rui Fu felt An Wen Yao wouldn’t just slaughter the entire imperial physicians

bureau involved but also those who served the emperor personally would not live

well, at that time he was actually somewhat depressed, he was loyal and devoted

to the emperor, not only would he sc.r.a.pe his bones and rip out his heart, he

was also not much different from An Wen Yao, in any case the emperor…, An Wen

Yao too, looked down on him?

However Rui Fu’s dejection was temporary, he wasn’t

discouraged at all, because he believed time would proof everything, the

emperor would soon understand his utter devotion and loyalty.

Qin Hong and Su Qing Chen worked non-stop without sleep for

several days and nights, apart from the Embroidered Uniform Guards, even the

tens of thousands of imperial guards were summoned, even if the capital city

was very big, with a large population, they had found all the girls called

Zhang Hong in the capital in a short time, their movements unimaginably swift, their

minds were clear, every day they saw the emperor’s cold face, not eating

either, not seeming to have slept well, in no more than a few days, the gentle

and elegant Qin Hong was even more as light as a feather, as if he would

immediately become immortal, even Su Qing Chen was too, putting on his clothes

he had noticed there was a two finger s.p.a.ce.

The two people knelt on the ice-cold floor not even daring

to use a praying mat, bowing their heads not daring to speak, the venerated

handsome emperor, aristocratic manner, clothed overall in a golden silk dragon

robe, wearing a penetrating white jade crown, under the soft sunlight it had an

even more indescribable imposing and serene manner, his brows deeply locked, as

if he was considering something extremely problematic, but the emperor’s

thoughts were actually somewhat far, why is the caterpillar fungus spare ribs

soup in the palace not as tasty as before he turned into a stone?

“Your majesty, how should we take care of these people?” Qin

Hong somewhat hesitantly opened his mouth, after speaking he looked over at Su

Qing Chen, Su Qing Chen also stared back, the two people used their eyes to

communicate for quite a while, finally it was Qin Hong who admitted defeat, the

main problem was the kneeling…, he truly did not have Su Qing Chen’s body

stature, capable of persevering with kneeling for several hours without a

problem.

The emperor’s eyes were profound, like an abyss which bottom

could not be seen, not able to see clearly, using his usually cold and detached

voice sounding like precious gems clanking together, “First keep them locked

up.”

Qin Hong and Su Qing Chen looked at each other, somewhat

puzzled, a few days before the emperor was still acting extremely urgent…, how

can he suddenly be so calm?

“Your Majesty…” Qin Hong was just about to speak when the

emperor shot him a glance, like a cold wind blowing past, his body couldn’t

help but s.h.i.+ver, the emperor lowered his eyelids saying, “You did pretty good

with this matter, go take your reward”

Qin Hong and Su Qing Chen were pleasantly surprised, but

when the emperor again spoke coldly, “On your way also receive the beatings you

have acc.u.mulated.”

The two people immediately paled…, the emperor still had a

cold expression, but the corner of his mouth was slightly lifted.
