Chapter 1975 Her Importance
Lu Zhaoling was stunned when Zhou Shiyue suddenly shouted at her.
"Is it that fierce?"
Zhou Shiyue was both amused and exasperated.
“Where is the ferocity? What I want to tell you is that no matter when, what happens, or who is in danger in front of you, your first consideration must be your own safety, understand? You must never forget this.”
"Besides, even if you don't look there, we can investigate further later. Where can't we find out? Let's not even talk about anything else. If Yama regains his senses, we can just ask him and we'll know the answers to these questions."
"And Junior Brother Yin, there are still many things he hasn't remembered yet. Once he remembers them, just ask him and he'll know. There's no rush."
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "That's true."
"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that it concerns you, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to go see it."
"There's no need to rush about me."
"Okay, okay, I really remember, I promise I won't rush again." Seeing how serious he was, Lu Zhaoling quickly raised her hand and promised again.
Let's go see Qian Dingxing again tomorrow.
Zhou Shiyue didn't want Lu Zhaoling to see Qian Dingxing again, especially since she wasn't feeling well that day.
What if she sees someone and "sees" something, and then suddenly forgets her promise?
Lu Zhaoling was quite tired and suffered a backlash. Although she had recovered a lot, she was still exhausted.
So she fell asleep again while talking to Zhou Shiyue.
"Ah Ling..."
Zhou Shiyue originally wanted to tell her about Weng Songzhi's talk about the Evil Emperor, but when he looked down, he saw that she had fallen asleep.
He stopped speaking, looked at her sleeping face, and sighed softly.
Never mind, we'll talk about it later.
That night, the lights in the imperial study remained on all night. The new emperor had too many state affairs to attend to.
Until a shadowy figure appeared and knelt before him.
"His Majesty."
"Is Auntie alright?"
The new emperor looked up from a pile of memorials and saw that it was one of the Dragon Shadow Guards he had sent out. His spirits lifted.
"Your Majesty, Qingfeng, who serves the Prince, has informed me that the Princess Consort of Jin is alright."
"That's good."
The new emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
He had heard that the Princess Consort of Jin had vomited blood and fainted. According to the previous arrangement, his uncle was supposed to come to the palace tonight to discuss state affairs, but his uncle had sent someone to tell him that he would not be coming to the palace tonight.
Upon hearing that it was his aunt who had vomited blood and fainted, the new emperor himself almost left the palace for the prince's residence.
However, he managed to control himself just as he stood up and was about to step out the door.
It was at that moment that Zhou Ze first realized he was sitting in a different position.
The responsibilities of being an emperor weighed on him.
For the first time, he felt the weight on his shoulders.
He will no longer be able to do whatever he wants for other reasons. National affairs must come first.
Therefore, he focused on political affairs and only allowed the Dragon Shadow Guards to inquire further.
"Go back."
The Dragon Shadow Guards retreated silently.
The new emperor picked up another memorial.
Eunuch Hai bowed as he entered and said softly, "Your Majesty, would you like to rest for a while? The morning court session will be held again in less than an hour."
"I'll just take a nap here. Wake me up after an incense stick has burned." He then lay down.
Seeing this, Grandpa Hai had no choice but to take a small lampshade and cover the candle flame to dim the light.
He left.
Grandpa Qin is finally back.
"His Majesty, he..."
"Father, His Majesty said he wants to take a nap."
Hai Gonggong had previously recognized Qin Gonggong as his godfather, but they didn't publicize their relationship.
Originally, when the new emperor ascended the throne, his chief eunuch was still Eunuch Qin. However, the new retired emperor kept causing trouble, making a scene every now and then, even though everything had been settled. He just wanted to make the new emperor uncomfortable.
So Zhou Ze still allowed Eunuch Qin to stay by his side to serve him, since no one else could do anything about that person, and Eunuch Qin knew the other party to some extent.
Hai Gonggong temporarily took over Qin Gonggong's position.
Some people thought that Eunuch Qin was about to lose his position and that the new emperor did not trust him. Little did they know that Eunuch Hai was Eunuch Qin's adopted son.
Moreover, if it weren't for Eunuch Qin, Eunuch Hai would have died not long after entering the palace.
This life-saving grace, and also the fact that after entering the palace, he was always unwell because of the castration, and several times his wounds almost festered to the point of high fever and death, it was all thanks to Eunuch Qin who saved him.
Grandpa Qin even went so far as to ask Doctor Fu for help for this adopted son.
Therefore, Grandpa Hai greatly respected his adoptive father.
"Your Majesty is truly diligent."
"Yes." Eunuch Hai asked in a low voice, "What urgent matter has come here for you, Godfather?"
"I came to ask how the Princess is doing," Eunuch Qin said, not hiding anything from him.
When Prince Jin didn't come to the palace, Eunuch Qin knew something must have happened at the Prince's residence, and he had inquired about it.
Eunuch Hai told him that it was Princess Jin who was injured.
He was in a hurry to inquire again because he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep after thinking about it.
Grandpa Hai was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected that his godfather had come over in the middle of the night because of this.
"A Dragon Shadow Guard just came to report that Princess Jin is alright."
"really?"
“It’s true,” said Eunuch Hai. “His Majesty was only willing to take a nap after hearing this news.”
Eunuch Qin's expression relaxed.
"That's good, that's good. Okay, you keep guarding, I'm going to rest for a while. As people get older, their energy just can't keep up anymore."
"Farewell, Godfather."
Watching his departing figure, Eunuch Hai finally believed that he had truly only come to inquire about the Princess Consort of Jin.
It seems that both the Emperor and the adoptive father are genuinely worried about Princess Jin.
In other words, the Princess Consort of Jin held an extremely high position in their hearts.
In that case, he should show more respect to Princess Jin from now on; he needs to reassess her importance.
Years later, Lu Zhaoling asked Hai, who had succeeded Eunuch Qin as the Grand Eunuch, with some curiosity why he was so obedient to her orders. Hai then thought of that night.
Of course, years later, Eunuch Hai was always proud of his intelligence. Because of that night, he reassessed the importance of Princess Jin, and afterwards, he escaped danger several times thanks to her.
The next day, Lu Zhaoling woke up.
She stretched and felt that she had slept very well last night, without even having a dream, and woke up naturally.
"Your Highness, you're awake?"
Qingyin, who was standing next to her, quickly stood up.
Lu Zhaoling then realized that she was the only one on the bed, Zhou Shiyue's spot was empty, and Qingyin seemed to have been guarding the room the whole time.
"Why are you standing guard here?" Lu Zhaoling tried to sit up, and Qingyin quickly came over to help her.
"Where is the prince?"
"Your Highness, the Prince went to court early this morning."
