Yan Xingchen heard the emperor's hearty laughter, which did not contain any anger or blame. He felt relieved and his voice returned to its usual restrained tone: "In fact, it was this thing that gave me the courage to confess to the emperor..."
She took out an exquisite wooden box from her sleeve and held it above her head with both hands.
Eunuch Qi hurried over, bent down, took the wooden box and presented it to his master.
The corner of his eye still fell on Yan Xingchen's face: Oh, hehe, Lady Yan is actually a girl!
This was the nth time he had sighed in his heart. Fortunately, his master was a wise ruler, otherwise such a delicate girl would have been beheaded.
But is Lord Yan really so delicate?
No! Eunuch Qi was close enough to see it clearly with his peripheral vision.
The girl was bare-faced, without any makeup, and her face was full of the color of weather and frost. Her skin was dark due to the sun, with spots and spots, like the marks of time. Although her eyes were clear and bright, the area around her eyes was dark, showing that she had not slept for a long time, and her fatigue could not be concealed.
She was tall and thin, and looked even more empty in her official uniform. Too thin!
Thinking about the past year or so, she has traveled all over the world, writing day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and almost in a state of self-forgetfulness.
Seeing this, Eunuch Qi wanted to go to the imperial kitchen and get some food to nourish Lord Yan... Just as he was thinking about it, he heard his master order, "Youen, go and serve the meal. It's time. I want to have a meal with Lord Yan."
Eunuch Qi smiled and replied, "Yes." He felt warm in his heart and walked out of the imperial study happily.
Hey, our family and the master are of the same mind!
Yan Xingchen knelt down and kowtowed, "I dare not!"
Were they not beheaded but still eating together? Could this be the last meal?
Emperor Mingde also found that his ministers had lost a lot of weight compared to before. They must have worked day and night and toiled hard while running around collecting materials, which resulted in their emaciated bodies.
He took out an inkstone from the wooden box presented by Yan Xingchen. He stroked the edge of the inkstone with his fingertips, and felt that it was as smooth as jade and as delicate as fat, with a faint sense of coolness.
There are still traces of ink on the inkstone, which seems to have the fragrance of time.
Looking down again, I saw that the texture of the inkstone was like the undulating mountains and rivers, and like the rushing of rivers. The mountains and rivers were surrounded by clouds and mist, and the ink color was deep, as if it contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Even though he was an emperor, he couldn't help but sigh: "This thing is really a rare treasure."
Yan Xingchen replied respectfully, "My Lord, this inkstone is called 'Hong'an Qiubai', and it was passed down from my great grandfather. When I returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, I suddenly saw this item on my desk. I just realized that someone had already known my true identity..."
She confessed this because she was forced into a desperate situation. Otherwise, the implications would be so wide that she dared not gamble.
Young Master’s Mansion, Tinglan Courtyard.
Shi Anxia was flipping through the pages of a book, waiting for her husband to come back and have dinner together.
Ye Baoer dozed off at her feet and snored.
A white dog was curled up in its arms, and two cats, one black and one white, were curled up in front of its head, all of them were sleeping.
After a while, Cen Yuan came in with the autumn air, breaking the silence in the room.
The rain was continuous and wet my clothes, making them half wet but not quite wet.
"My husband is back." Shi Anxia stood up to greet him.
