Master Yuanhe didn’t know what he was thinking, but he didn’t refuse.
"Since Lord Chu is going to the palace, I also wish to see the Emperor in the palace. However, I would like Lord Chu to help with an introduction," Master Yuanhe said, stroking his beard.
Chu Heng replied, "You are too kind, Master. If you wish to enter the palace, there’s no need for my introduction. However, since you’ve requested, I will assist."
Chu Heng led Ye Muyu into the carriage.
Unwilling to let Ye Muyu endure the wind and sun outside, he decided to ride in the carriage together.
Master Yuanhe was naturally arranged to ride in the carriage behind.
The carriage traveled all the way into the capital.
They first returned to the Chu family estate.
Chu Heng had sent soone to the Imperial Palace with a letter, and the ssenger had already returned.
Ye Muyu changed into the imperial command attire and accompanied Chu Heng in the carriage to the palace.
The two of them sat in the sa carriage, heading towards the Imperial Palace.
Chu Heng had been ill for more than three months.
Needing physical recuperation was quite understandable.
And many who were keeping an eye on the Chu family already knew about Chu Heng’s awakening before he had even entered the palace with Ye Muyu.
When the Chu family carriage arrived at the palace gate, so officials who had received the news hurried to the palace gate.
Among them were people like Huo Zhengming, and even Elder Zhong heard about it.
Upon stepping off the carriage, Chu Heng saw the guard commander Xiao Tianhao at the palace gate.
Xiao Tianhao had been sent by Emperor Xuanming to receive Chu Heng. Seeing him standing perfectly fine before him, he suddenly beca emotionally stirred, stepped forward, and patted his shoulder: "Good brother, you finally woke up, scared half to death."
Ye Muyu looked at his hand, and her eyebrows imdiately furrowed: "Minister Xiao, my husband has just woken up; his body hasn’t fully recovered." The implication being she disliked his direct hand on Chu Heng’s shoulder.
Xiao Tianhao laughed awkwardly, sowhat embarrassed: "Well, Madam, I’m sorry, I was just too excited. I’ve been missing Lord Chu during these days. Don’t take offense."
Ye Muyu didn’t respond but withdrew her warning gaze.
Chu Heng squeezed her hand and smiled at Xiao Tianhao: "Sorry, my wife is just worried about . Minister Xiao, don’t mind. Since the Emperor is already waiting, I shouldn’t delay. I’ll head into the palace, and we can catch up afterwards."
Since Chu Heng said so, Xiao Tianhao naturally wouldn’t continue with unnecessary words. He was initially curious about Ye Muyu accompanying them into the palace, but seeing how close the two were, with Chu Heng being exceedingly gentle, whereas the once amiable Madam had beco less sociable and spoke only to Chu Heng, it seed like their personalities had completely switched. Xiao Tianhao watched with horror, realizing that Chu Heng’s reputation for fearing his wife, which was already shocking, was even truer than assud.
When they arrived outside the Imperial Study.
Chu Heng was soon taken inside, while Ye Muyu stood outside the Imperial Study and didn’t go to et the Dowager Empress and Empress, rely accompanying Chu Heng into the palace.
Xiao Tianhao stood outside the Imperial Study, waiting for Emperor Xuanming’s instructions.
Seeing Ye Muyu remaining, he felt strange and asked, "Madam, why have you entered the palace today?"
Seeing her in imperial command attire, it didn’t seem like it was for nothing.
But reality was about to surprise him.
Ye Muyu: "To accompany my husband to the palace."
"... That’s it?" Xiao Tianhao was full of disbelief. Had Ye Muyu not been beside him, his reaction would have been even more visible.
"Mm." Ye Muyu replied blandly.
Xiao Tianhao: "..." Almost dropping his jaw, was it really that he was too young?
