Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Extra: The Beauty Anuan, The Emperor of Daqian Appears

Huo Yuning had just taken the red brocade carp from the eunuch’s embrace when she heard the commotion behind her.

Without regard for her own dishevelled state, she slowly turned around while holding the carp.

Then she saw a crowd of eunuchs and palace maids surrounding a palace consort dressed in red.

Huo Yuning hadn’t seen the woman’s face but guessed she might be from Zhongchui Palace, the Daqian Emperor’s highest-ranking consort.

She scoffed lightly and turned away with the carp in arms.

Huo Yuning always avoided consorts of higher rank than herself.

Just to avoid occurrences like the other day when a second-rank consort actually dared to make her kneel.

She merely crippled the woman’s arms, which was letting her off lightly.

But for that, Huo Yuning, a fifth-rank beauty, was also put under house arrest by the dog Emperor.

House arrest was one thing, but that dog Emperor whom she had never even met had actually ordered her to eat vegetarian—it was outrageous!

Now facing another scheming consort, she might as well go back and eat some roasted fish.

Drenched from head to toe, Huo Yuning left with a brisk and cool demeanor, her silhouette dashing, and the court ladies who had come with her all turned pale.

The palace maid who had previously tried to prevent Huo Yuning from entering the water, dressed in a light blue palace outfit, cautiously asked, "My lady, that was the Consort. By leaving like this, might we be blamed by His Majesty?"

Huo Yuning looked at the big fish in her arms, her eyes shining, and upon hearing the maid’s words, she coldly laughed, "I didn’t touch her, nor did I provoke her. Why should I stay?"

The little maid said anxiously, "But that is the daughter of the great general. General Su is still charging into battle on the front lines. If they wrongly accuse us, His Majesty will definitely blame you again."

Huo Yuning’s pretty fox-like eyes turned to the maid beside her, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, she said, "Tuo Qing, you think too much, that dog Emperor..."

Tuo Qing, disregarding the hierarchy, stepped forward to cover her lady’s mouth, her forehead beading with sweat from fear.

She whispered urgently with sincere trepidation, "My lady, please be cautious with your words!"

Huo Yuning pulled down her hand, her face full of mockery. "Pfft! Nobody heard. Isn’t he busy at court deploying troops for battle, dealing with rebels, handling disasters, and flood affairs? Don’t worry, no one will find out."

Tuo Qing’s face was drawn and grave as she pleaded, "My lady, please, if there’s trouble, His Majesty won’t blame you, after all, you were personally selected by the State Preceptor as a consort of good fortune for His Majesty. But if something happens, we servants will not be spared."

"Enough, enough, stop talking about such disheartening things. Let’s go back and enjoy our roasted fish!"

Huo Yuning’s life in ancient times this past month had truly mistreated her fine palate.

What a lousy palace, it couldn’t even compare to the common meals of a modern family, the food bland and hard to swallow.

And yet, they wanted her to be vegetarian.

Only in their dreams!

If she could contact her brothers, she’d blast this entire palace to smithereens.

What a cursed place, she had never suffered so much in her entire life.

Huo Yuning left Zhongchui Palace with her attendants and had a delicious roasted fish meal that evening.

On the other hand, Su Jingshu, who had fainted, was waiting for the arrival of the most revered Emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure standing by the window and mistook it for Nangong Chang, softly calling out, "Achang, I had a dream."

She dreamt that you became a cowering eunuch.

She didn’t dare say this out loud, not wanting to hurt his pride.

"The Consort has awakened."

A deep, magnetic, and unfamiliar voice sounded.

The man standing by the window slowly turned around, revealing a haggard but still handsome and authoritative face, one that radiated a dominion-claiming regality.

"Who are you?!" Su Jingshu’s eyes widened, her gaze wary as she stared at the man.
