Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 311 The One on the Dragon Throne

Qi stayed in the room to comfort Kaiyang: "Don't worry, she is your benefactor and our family's benefactor. Your grandfather will not do anything bad to her."

"Grandma, I'm not worried. Mom is so great." Kaiyang sat on the bed. Anyway, he would not sleep until she came back.

Hong Xiaoduo, who followed Zhongqing as she walked, smoothed her hair with her hands and tied it up behind her head, snored again.

She didn't ask the housekeeper why Eunuch Fu came here so late at night instead of sleeping. Anyway, she would see him soon, so she would naturally know.

They soon arrived at the front hall, and Hong Xiaoduo noticed that there were several people dressed as guards standing outside the door, and judging by their clothes, they did not seem to be from the Wei Mansion.

"Sir, Miss Hong has arrived." Steward Zhongqing reported outside the door.

The door creaked open and Wei Junpei appeared inside, motioning Hong Xiaoduo to go in.

After Hong Xiaoduo entered the room, Wei Junpei immediately closed the door again.

Inside the room, besides Wei Junpei and the eunuch Fu whom he had met during the day, there was another man wearing the same clothes as Eunuch Fu.

He looked to be in his thirties, with a solemn expression and deep black eyes examining Hong Xiaoduo.

This man was wearing the same robe as Eunuch Fu, but his beautiful beard didn't look like it was glued on. His posture, gaze, and temperament showed his dignity and nobility.

When Eunuch Fu came during the day, he said he was delivering a gift to His Majesty. Eunuch Fu is someone close to His Majesty.

Then this person should be the king of this country, the one sitting on the dragon throne?
The other party didn't speak, and Wei Junpei had no intention of introducing that person's identity. Hong Xiaoduo guessed so in her heart and pretended not to know.

Otherwise, do I have to kneel down to the other party? No way!
"Xiaoduo, you have met this eunuch Fu during the day. He called you over so late because he wants you to use that secret technique to help identify blood relationships." Wei Junpei said nervously when he saw Hong Xiaoduo coming in and looking at the man.

Hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo looked at Eunuch Fu with surprise, and her gaze slowly moved down from the other's face to the position below his lower abdomen.

"Young lady, don't think too much. It's not me." When Eunuch Fu saw the expression on Hong Xiaoduo's face and the direction of her gaze, he hurried to clarify.

Hearing him say that, Hong Xiaoduo patted her chest exaggeratedly and said, "I'm glad it's not you, father-in-law. Emma, ​​if it's really you, then you are really brave enough."

Ahem, out of the corner of my eye I saw the bearded man next to me, his fists clenched to his mouth to hide his chuckle.

And the cautious look that Eunuch Fu gave the other party made Hong Xiaoduo even more certain that this person was most likely their emperor.

He looks like a wise ruler, so why did he make Lord Wei want to resign?

"Master Wei, I used that secret technique today because Master Gu questioned it. He questioned it for one reason only, and that is that the world has never heard of this secret technique.

I have never heard of it, and that is because my ancestors warned me not to show this secret technique to others easily. Because if this technique is used improperly, it will kill people, cause discord among relatives, and in short, it will cause many bad consequences.

The reason why I helped you identify your grandson is because I picked up the child, so I am related to him. Moreover, I know that you are a good official with integrity, so I naturally don't want you to be plotted against by bad people.

The reason why I used that secret technique twice today was because Lord Gu was so evil, so I used it to prove it to him and make him shut up.

Another point is that using this secret technique will hurt my mind and shorten my lifespan, which will be of no benefit to me.

You see, I am really forcing myself to get here now.

So, I'm sorry that you made Eunuch Fu come here for nothing." Hong Xiaoduo said, and clasped her fists in apology to Eunuch Fu. She was indeed not energetic now, but it had nothing to do with the test. It would be strange if she was awakened from sleep!
What's more, I haven't been able to sleep in for a long time!

"Ah, I only heard you say before that using that secret technique would hurt your mind and heart, but I didn't know it would shorten your lifespan. Alas." Wei Junpei felt very self-blaming and annoyed when he heard this.

"Hehe, Lord Wei, there's no need to blame yourself. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would think too much." Hong Xiaoduo explained helplessly.

Eunuch Fu, who was standing by, didn't even have time to get anxious when he heard this because the person next to him eagerly winked at him.

"Miss Hong, could you please think of a way to identify her? It's really important." Eunuch Fu was anxious, but he couldn't use his master's status to put pressure on her.

"Lord Wei, can you help me explain?" Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo remained silent, Eunuch Fu asked Wei Junpei for help.

Wei Junpei was in even more of a dilemma, because not only would this secret technique hurt her mind, it would also shorten her lifespan. How could he use his benefactor's lifespan as a favor? Wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the expressions on the three people's faces. Seeing that the other one didn't seem to be angry and Lord Wei didn't seem to want to help persuade her either, she felt relieved.

He reached out and pulled Wei Junpei's sleeve, walked to the side, and asked in a low voice: "What is your relationship with them?"

Wei Junpei was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. How should he respond regarding the relationship between the monarch and his subjects?

"It seems that you, sir, know about this. Why don't you just tell me directly? If I help them identify it, will it cause someone to lose their life?" Hong Xiaoduo asked a different question.

Wei Junpei thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"Is the person who lost his life a good one or a bad one?" Hong Xiaoduo asked again.

Of course she knew that her voice was very low, but the two people who were listening closely could definitely hear it.

Anyway, I told it to them.

"It should be a bad thing." Wei Junpei thought for a moment and responded.

"Miss Hong, I swear to heaven that the person you helped identify is definitely a good one." Eunuch Fu heard it clearly at the side and did not care about anything else, so he stepped forward and said.

Because he was in a hurry to ask for help, he even used the word "you" to refer to Hong Xiaoduo.

Hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo looked at Eunuch Fu for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll help you once, but I can't do it for free. I want to charge you."

"Of course we'll give you the money. Even if you don't tell us, we will give it to you." Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo had given in, Eunuch Fu agreed without even looking at the other person's intention.

He doesn't care about gold and silver.

"One thousand and two taels of gold. If you think it's too expensive, forget it. I want to use it to buy precious medicinal herbs to nourish my body." Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment and said.

Asking the emperor for 1,000 taels of gold is not extortion, right? He didn't even ask for 10,000 taels!
"One thousand taels of gold?" Eunuch Fu calculated in his mind after hearing this. After all, it was a secret technique involving someone's life span, so it was not good to say that the person wanted more. He glanced at the man's face and saw that he nodded slightly, so he quickly agreed.

Wei Junpei, who was standing next to him, listened and looked at Hong Xiaoduo, thinking about discussing with his son and daughter-in-law how much would be an appropriate thank-you gift for Hong Xiaoduo.

"Miss Hong, can I send the reward over tomorrow? Can you identify it first?" Eunuch Fu asked cautiously.

The man next to him looked at Eunuch Fu. He had been working beside him for many years, and even when talking to other princes and princesses, he had never been so cautious...
