Later on, Gu Nuo’er fell asleep leaning against him.
Ye Siming protected the child and carried her back to the Qiushui Palace..
He handed the sleeping Gu Nuo’er to Wanyin.
Noble Consort Qiao watched from the side and whispered, “Thank you for taking care of our Nuo’er, Marquis.”
Ye Siming’s thin lips moved and he said slowly, “It’s what I should do.”
A trace of confusion flashed across Noble Consort Qiao’s beautiful eyes.
Why was it something he should do?
Noble Consort Qiao thought about it.
It was Marquis Yongye’s duty to love and protect the princess.
It was no wonder he said that.
Noble Consort Qiao smiled. “It’s getting late. The palace gate has probably been closed long ago. If Marquis can’t get out, you can use my token to stay at
Yongxi Palace for the night.’
Ye Siming nodded and didn’t refuse.
Before he left, he reminded Noble Consort Qiao.
“The key to the private treasury has been found. It’s in the princess’s waist pouch.”
Noble Consort Qiao’s beautiful eyes lit up in joy. She personally sent Ye Siming out of the palace.
The next day, Gu Yihan went to court.
Today was a little different from usual.
The officials were divided into two sides in the Jinluan Hall.
His Majesty was never late, but today, he was fifteen minutes late.
This kind of situation had happened in the past.
There was only one reason for this.
That was, the little princess would also come to court today.
Princess Yaoguang, Gu Nuo’er, had followed the emperor to the morning court to listen since she was young.
Many officials still remembered.
When the little princess was three years old, her entire body was small.
She fell asleep in His Majesty’s arms, and His Majesty didn’t let everyone report to the court loudly.
It was obvious how much he doted on Her Highness.
At this moment, Prince Guang was standing at the front.
Originally, he didn’t have an official position, nor was he a prince with real power.
He was not qualified to attend court.
However, he said today that he had something important to report.
He kept his hand in his sleeve and Dressed on something.
There was a hint of smugness hidden in his small eyes on his black and fat face.
Censor Zhang, who was standing at the head of the group opposite him, had been secretly observing Prince Guang.
The more he looked at Prince Guang, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He then touched Ye Siming, who was standing at the side with a straight face.
Ye Siming had stayed in the palace last night and came very early today.
“Marquis, don’t you think that Prince Guang is very strange?” Censor Zhang frowned and said in a low voice.
Ye Siming turned around and took a cold look. He said in a normal tone, “Isn’t he still as fat as before?”
Censor Zhang stomped his feet. “Aiya, no! Look, his hand has been hidden in his sleeves. Could it be that he’s hiding some sharp weapon?”
When Prince Guang was still a prince in the past, there were rumors that he wanted to become the emperor.
Now, he still had to tread carefully around Gu Yihan, looking respectful and didn’t dare to offend him.
However, ever since he entered the capital, there had been a lot of trouble.
His entire family wouldn’t stop.
Naturally, he was treated coldly by His Majesty.
Censor Zhang was afraid that Prince Guang would act out of desperation.
Therefore, he told Ye Siming in advance.
After all, Marquis Yongye was very skilled in his eyes. If Prince Guang really wanted to assassinate him, there was still time to protect him. However, Ye Siming was very calm from the beginning to the end.
“Censor Zhang, don’t worry. He doesn’t have the skills.”
After Ye Siming finished speaking, he stood up straight like a pine tree and started to close his eyes to rest.
When Censor Zhang saw this, he continued to secretly observe Prince Guang.
It made Prince Guang feel like someone was looking at him.
However, every time he sized up his surroundings, he could only see Censor Zhang glancing at him from the corner of his eyes.
Prince Guang thought to himself—
Is he looking down on people? Heh, when he takes out the key to the private treasury later and receives his brother’s praise, this group of stuck-up officials would also look at him in a different light!
