âDidnât your mother tell you, she hasnât gotten slim because sheâs been imprisoned, but because sheâs managing her figure?â Chu Yihan glanced at him coldly.
Chu Jinlingâs face immediately showed the guilt of being found out, âShe did mention it, and recently⦠she has been consistently applying the mud mask Auntie developed.â
Her complexion didnât look anything like that of a forty-year-old woman.
He thought his mother was even more beautiful than a girl of seventeen or eighteen!
But dare he say that?
The more carefree his mother lived, the less anxious his imperial uncle would be to release him!
Just today, he had suggested a scheme to his mother, âMother, for the time being, donât care too much about your appearance, eat less, lose more weight, stay up late, make yourself look disheveled and miserable. If the imperial uncle sees you too pitiful, he surely wonât have the heart to keep imprisoning you.â
Noble Consort Xiao was immediately enraged, âHow could this be possible! Her Majestyâs face has never suffered in this life! Let Chu Yihan lock me up however he wishes! I cannot be without my beauty!â
Life could be dull, her dwelling could be the Cold Palace, but no matter what, she needed to be a delicate woman at all times.

Once beautiful, always beautiful!
That was his motherâs profound principle.
Unable to persuade her, he could only reluctantly come before his imperial uncle to make up some ridiculous lies.
And now, caught in the act.
Chu Yihan really was a three-second imperial uncle.
Too quick-witted, too sharp-eyed, just too fast.
âIf you want me to release your mother, itâs not impossible, but there is one thing, I havenât yet found anyone to undertake it. If someone could complete it well, I wouldnât mind granting him a favor,â he said.
As Chu Yihan spoke, he took out a piece of paper with several names he had written, âYou see, which person do you think is better for me to choose?â
Chu Jinling shivered, âIs there even need to choose?â
He snatched the paper away, crumpled it up, and threw it to the side, âIâm right here! At the emperorâs command, Jinling will obey any order.â
âYou wonât do, this matter is extremely important, and the time frame is uncertain, it will be very hard,â Chu Yihan said as he took out another piece of paper, preparing to write names.
âImperial uncle, I can do it! I absolutely can! Look, my literary talent is decent, ha, and in terms of martial arts, Iâm not likely to embarrass you. Whatâs more, I have Sisi! Sisi is now a great general, even if we need to fight a war, with Sisi by my side, we can blow up the enemyâs base! If Iâm really not up to it⦠General Su Hao is Sisiâs master, we can also ask the master for help. Imperial uncle, I have a powerful team here, Iâm really pretty good!â
Chu Jinling leaned on the imperial table, his eyes brimming with sincerity, like a giant dog let out of a cage, ready to charge into battle at any moment.
Chu Yihan was still not too convinced, âYour abilitiesâ¦â
âImperial uncle, I truly can!â
Chu Jinling suddenly knelt with a thump, âImperial uncle, if you really donât believe me, Iâm willing to prove it right now!â
âAlright.â
Seeing his sincerity, Chu Yihan agreed.
He picked up Chu Jinling by the collar and plonked him onto the dragon throne, allowing him to touch the brush.
Chu Jinling suddenly felt that the brush was a bit too hot to handle.
He rolled his eyes, âImperial uncle, isnât sitting on the dragon throne without authorization a capital offense, punishable by beheading?â
He was still so young.
âUnauthorized sitting is punishable, but if I allow you to oversee the country, itâs no crime,â Chu Yihan said as he took off the dragon robe, revealing an intricately embroidered deep blue robe underneath that accentuated his noble stature and extraordinary aura.
Shedding the Emperorâs majesty, he looked like a handsome and wealthy young master.
Chu Jinling exclaimed, âImperial uncle, you really never age, do you? How can you still look this good at your age?â
ââââââ
Jinling: Feels like thereâs a pit waiting for me up aheadâ¦
