She didn’t state any reason but just stuttered for a long time as she felt overwhelmingly shocked and scared.

It was Ye Shengxuan who let the bowl of lotus seed soup fall to the ground!

A moment later, Ye Shengxuan looked away from her and said to Concubine Yun whose face turned very red out of rage, “Alright, Yun. Since this is the case, I can share the same bowl with you.”

Xu Ruyun was stunned and then smiled again. Well, it was absolutely an ultimate blessing to share the same bowl of lotus seed soup with the emperor.

This little disturbance seemed to come to an end, but Xu Ruyun suddenly asked while serving the soup to Ye Shengxuan with a spoon, “Young eunuch is not that considerate, so probably you can ask Eunuch Fu to come back, Your Majesty?”

Eunuch Fu had served Ye Shengxuan for so many years, but he was not quite loyal to him in this position as he kept doing some kind of shady business with the concubines in the harem, so Ye Shengxuan really had had enough of him.

The man’s face turned gloomy, “This is none of your business.”

“But…” Xu Ruyun kept saying ignorantly, “What happened today is just a small thing. What if this clumsy Eunuch Lin hurt you in the future, Your Majesty?”

Helian Chacha stood aside and listened to her, but she didn’t understand what Concubine Yun was talking about in the beginning, yet she finally got her in the end. This woman didn’t want her to serve Ye Shengxuan so closely.

No way!

Without further hesitation, Helian Chacha kneeled down and said, “Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have always been loyal to serve you. I know I am not very skilled right now, but I promise I will improve myself quickly. Please give me a chance, Your Highness, Your Majesty!”

“You are not supposed to interrupt the conversation of your masters!” Concubine Yun went very furious, “Lian’er, give him 50 slaps!”

As Concubine Yun was speaking, Lian’er was about to slap Helian Chacha. But Helian Chacha would never stay there waiting to be slapped. Yet the moment when she was trying to argue with them, Ye Shengxuan suddenly said, “How dare you touch my man! It seems that I have been too tolerant of you. Guardians! Send Concubine Yun back as she is now grounded for one month!”

“Your Majesty!” Concubine Yun was so shocked that she dropped the spoon in hand and kneeled down next to Helian Chacha, crawling to beg Ye Shengxuan.

However, Ye Shengxuan had already stood up and he said coldly, “Don’t make me repeat my words!”

While he was about to get to the gate of the hall, the man said in his cold voice again, “Dagou, send Concubine Yun back.”

“Yes.” Helian Chacha replied with her head bowed down.

Ye Shengxuan disappeared outside of the hall. Helian Chacha then stood up from the floor and pretended to pat the dust off her clothes. She then walked to Xu Ruyun with no expression on her face and said, “Your Highness, please get up now. It’s time to go back.”

“You little bastard! How dare you to talk to Her Highness like that?!” Lian’err was indeed very loyal to her master so she wouldn’t allow Concubine Yun to be bullied, and that’s why she was trying to fight with Helian Chacha right at that moment.

Luckily this Concubine Yun was not that silly. She stood up with the help of Lian’er and threw a cold glimpse at Helian Chacha, saying, “Eunuch Lin, you played a nice trick.”

“Please don’t say that.” Helian Chacha had planned to escort Concubine Yun back, but now it seemed that she was not so welcomed, so she just stayed in the hall, sighing alone for the entire afternoon.

What a day!

It was obvious that Ye Shengxuan took her as an excuse to ground Concubine Yun as he was not fond of this woman at all. But what had Helian Chacha to do with the whole matter? Now she became the enemy of Concubine Yun and who knew how many troubles were waiting for her in the future?

Thinking of that, Helian Chacha forgot about the broken bowl of lotus seed soup at the moment.

On the other side, Xu Ruyun was super mad when she returned to her hall.

Her palace maid Lian’er was comforting her, “Your Highness, don’t be mad. It was all the little eunuch’s fault! Hadn’t it been because of the little eunuch, His Majesty wouldn’t have been so angry at you!”

“I’ve long heard that this Eunuch Lin is very crafty and I truly believe that after today.” Lian’er was quite close to the other palace maids so she knew well about the gossips going around.

“What does that mean?” Hearing that, Concubine Yun realized that there was something she didn’t know and that triggered her curiosity.

Actually, she also felt that Ye Shengxuan’s behavior today was quite weird as he got mad so easily. Besides, Lin Dagou was just a eunuch and she definitely had the right to teach him a lesson. The emperor was known for his generosity and kindness, and he had never picked up on any concubine regarding this kind of issue.

Seeing that Concubine Yun was so curious about it, Lian’er told her all the gossips she had collected recently.

Hearing that Lin Dagou had gone to the hall that night right after she had left, and he had been carried out from the bed of Ye Shengxuan, Concubine Yun went really furious.

No wonder! No wonder the emperor treated the little eunuch so differently. No wonder that little eunuch was so reckless and lack of manner. Xu Ruyun never expected that she would be defeated by a eunuch!

And Xu Ruyun also didn’t expect that her failure to win the love of the emperor could be the ladder for Helian Chacha’s promotion.

Since Ye Shengxuan had ordered to ground Concubine Yun that day only to protect Lin Dagou, all the staff in Yangxin Hall saw Helian Chacha as the emperor himself. They tried so hard to curry favor with her and please her as if she was the savior of them all.

Since her transmigration, it was the first time that Helian Chacha felt some warmth in the world. She was so flattered by their caring that she felt like walking on the cloud.

When she was passing by the imperial garden, she couldn’t help but stop and open her arms to embrace the warmth of the morning glory.

“Ah, this is my life.” Helian Chacha expressed her feelings honestly.

“Lin Dagou, what are you doing here?”

The familiar voice dragged Helian Chacha right back to reality. She turned around in the direction of the voice like a robot, only to see Ye Shengxuan standing in front of the imperial garden, staring at her with his hands on the back and his eyebrows knitted.

“I…” Helian Chacha slapped herself and changed the tone, “Your Majesty, I am here to absorb the essence of the sunlight.”

“Oh?” Ye Shengxuan looked up at the sky and then looked at her, “A eunuch also needs the essence of the sun for the good of his manhood?”

“…” Helian Chacha couldn’t stop the twitching on her lip corner, “Your Majesty, we eunuchs are also human, right?”

Ye Shengxuan stared at her silently for a long while and that made Helian Chacha super scared as she was afraid the emperor might have seen through her identity.

While she was thinking, Ye Shengxuan suddenly asked, “Stop absorbing your sunlight essence and come here to serve me the breakfast.”

“Sure!” Right after that, Ye Shengxuan looked back at her for a bit, so she bowed down her head and said obediently, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Now Ye Shengxuan continued walking with satisfaction.

When they returned to Yangxin Hall, the breakfast was already served and was waiting for Ye Shengxuan to enjoy.

It seemed that Ye Shengxuan was much more tired today than usual as he sighed deeply when sitting on the chair. He rubbed the middle of his eyebrows and massaged himself gently, while Helian Chacha stood next to him, planning to poison Ye Shengxuan today.

Noticing that she just stood there, Ye Shengxuan looked up at her and said, “What are you waiting for? Serve me the soup.”

The soup?

Helian Chacha’s eyes were brightened as she loved that soup so much.

She turned around and went to get the soup immediately. The soup seemed to be just heated as she could see the hot steam on the lid. She opened the lid with a rag and smelled the sweetness of it. Damn, it was her favorite black-boned chicken longan soup!

Helian Chacha looked back at Ye Shengxuan carefully and found out that he was resting his chin on the hand to take a nap. Great, that was the perfect timing to poison him.

Smelling the sweetness of the soup, Helian Chacha swallowed a mouthful of saliva and put the poison in her sleeve into it painfully with her eyes closed. Then she stirred it so that the poison could dissolve in the soup.

But what she didn’t know was, her action of poisoning and her painful expression were all captured by Ye Shengxuan who was just pretending to take a nap.

After she got the soup, she held it and put it in front of Ye Shengxuan carefully, “Your Majesty, here is your soup.”

Ye Shengxuan opened his eyes slowly and looked at her slightly. He then took the bowl of soup from her and scooped one spoon then sent it into his mouth.

Nailed it!

Helian Chacha was very excited and she clenched her fists secretly.

“Lin Dagou.”

“What?” Helian Chacha looked up at the emperor and noticed that he was just staring at her. So she tried to calm herself down and not to laugh, “What else can I do for you, Your Majesty?”

Ye Shengxuan looked at her with his complicated eyes and waved to her, “I am tired. You can leave now.”

“But you only had one sip of the soup, Your Majesty…” Helian Chacha had planned to persuade him to drink more soup, but she changed her mind when noticing his cold eyes, “I will leave now.”

Then she bowed and left Yangxin Hall.

Right after the gate of the hall was closed, Ye Shengxuan pressed on several acupoints of his body with his fingers and then vomited all the soup he had just drunk with his eyebrows knitted.

At that moment, Shiao Qi walked out from behind the screen. Following him was an 80 years old man with a goatee.
