"Little Miss, knocking this old man unconscious was your fault. Not only do you not apologize, but you also make excuses. Are these your manners?"
Huohuo's face was completely red, and she was about to fly into a rage when Yun Luofeng suddenly pulled on her with a lazy smile.
"Do you believe that I can make him immediately wake up?"
The guard snorted. Although he did not say anything, one could see the disbelief in his eyes.
"Huohuo, move over." After saying this, Yun Luofeng walked to the old man on the ground.
"Halt!" The two guards' expression shifted and they were about to attack Yun Luofeng, but the previously taciturn and cold man suddenly acted at this time.
Without any warning sign, a powerful energy slammed into their body. Because they did not have any resistance, the attack sent them flying back while they spat out a liter of blood. They could only look on helplessly as Yun Luofeng walked to the elderly man.
When the girl reached the old man, three silver needles suddenly appeared in her hand. She swiftly and accurately aimed them at the acupuncture points on the top of his head. Following the turn of her fingers, traces of spiritual energy slowly flowed into his body.
It did not take long for the unconscious old man to open his eyes. His gaze was disoriented, and he clearly still did not know what had happened.
"Sir!" Seeing the elderly man awaken, joy entered the guard's face. He harshly glared at Huohuo. "Just now, this girl sneakily attacked you, causing sir to be heavily injured. This subordinate..."
"Don't be impudent!" The elderly man finally regained his wits and flung a slap at the guard, cutting off his words. "Apologize to this girl!"
The guard was completely dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.
The old man did not take another look at him and stood up from the ground. He respectfully cupped his fists at Yun Luofeng. "Are you the one who saved me just now, Miss?"
Yun Luofeng glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. "I only wanted to prove that your loss of consciousness had nothing to do with my younger sister! Huohuo, let's go."
The old man still wanted to say something, but Yun Luofeng did not give him any chance and disappeared in front of his eyes a moment later.
He took a deep breath of air before saying, "Go and investigate the identity of that girl."
"Yes, sir." the two guards reverently responded as they cupped the fists.
...
The Imperial Palace
Inside the imperial study, a bright yellow figure was currently evaluating some memorials. Perhaps because he had worn himself out too much over the past few days, his face had traces of fatigue, and his complexion was a bit sallow.
"Your Majesty." A eunuch hastily entered and reported, "Sir Xuan Tian is here."
The man was briefly startled before saying, "Let him enter."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After the eunuch said this, he hurriedly retreated. A moment later, an old man wearing a long, flax-colored robe stepped into the imperial study.
If Yun Luofeng was here, she would recognize Sir Xuan Tian as the elderly man who scammed them at the restaurant.
"Xuan Tian, have you discovered a method to cure the Empress?" the man aloofly asked, his voice a bit weary.
Ever since the Empress got married to His Majesty, they were deeply in love. Unfortunately, as the Emperor, His Majesty was too powerless against some things and could not lack a harem.
For His Majesty, the Empress forced herself to tolerate other women. Perhaps out of guilt for the Empress, His Majesty had always treated her extremely well.
However, the road to happiness was paved with hardships. For unknown reasons, just like the Eldest Madam of the Ye Family, Jun Fengling, the Empress also could not become pregnant. As the ruler of the kingdom, His Majesty had to resist a lot of pressure because of this.
