But now, this person was clearly her, and it was evident that she was quite favored in the royal residence. Even her father, Lord Lo An, seemed to mostly heed her words.
She was someone who had no interest in pretending, so all the signs indicated that the information known to the outside world was deliberately released by them, while the true circumstances were completely sealed off.
If it weren't for her sudden visit tonight, catching them off guard, she might not have uncovered the real story at all.
After hearing his beloved daughter's words, Lord Lo An felt a surge of anger rising within him. However, he knew he could not show anger towards this exceptionally stubborn little one; otherwise, she might come to dislike him again.
Thus, he forced himself to calm down and spoke to the little one in a gentle tone, "Bing Bing, be good! Quickly return the gold to His Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly turned to Dongfang Hao and said, "This little girl is young and ignorant; I humbly ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."
Dongfang Hao listened to him and replied lightly, "No harm done. You need not worry about it. Moreover, how could I go back on my word?"
At this point, he paused slightly and fixed a piercing gaze on Lord Lo An, playfully saying, "Could it be that you wish to defy my command?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Lo An quickly bowed respectfully to His Majesty and said, "I would not dare."
After hearing His Majesty's words, Lord Lo An felt a deep sense of certainty that His Majesty had no intention of punishing him or his beloved daughter.
With that heavy weight lifted from his heart, he no longer mentioned his beloved daughter.
Everyone present, except for Luo Bingbing and the Snow Spirit Elder who were casually enjoying roasted meat, watched intently as they awaited His Majesty's instructions.
Luo Bingbing fed a piece of roasted meat to the Snow Spirit Fox and then noticed her father and his strategist standing straight as ever.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "Father, Strategist, why aren't you eating the roasted meat? Are you already full just by watching me?"
Upon hearing the Little One's words, both men felt their faces flush, unsure of how to respond to her.
As they hesitated, the voice of His Majesty Dongfang Hao reached their ears.
"My dear ministers, you should hurry and eat! I've been out for quite some time now and should return to the palace." With that, he stood up and signaled Mo Xuan to follow him back.
Seeing the look in his master's eyes, Mo Xuan quickly followed suit, while Lord Lo An and Strategist Gongsun Ming closely trailed behind him, ostensibly to escort His Majesty.
However, just as they were about to reach the entrance of Piaoyun Pavilion, Emperor Dongfang Hao suddenly thought that since the Little Doll's roasted meat was so delicious, why not take some back for his junior brother Mu Xi?
Thus, he halted his steps and turned to Mo Xuan behind him. "Mo Xuan, go get another hundred taels of gold and exchange it with that Little Doll for a Roasted Mountain Chicken."
Upon hearing his master's command, Mo Xuan promptly replied, "Yes, I will take care of it right away." With that, he turned and headed back.
Before Lord Lo An and Strategist Gongsun Ming could say anything, he had already walked far away.
When he quickly approached the Little One, she was still playing with the Snow Spirit Fox on her shoulder, seemingly having a great time.
However, when Mo Xuan reached her side, Luo Bingbing was well aware of his presence; she simply didn't look up or ask any questions and continued to play joyfully with the Snow Spirit Fox.
Noticing that the Little One had not acknowledged him, Mo Xuan spoke up. "Little Princess, His Majesty instructed me to come back and buy a Roasted Mountain Chicken."
After speaking, he immediately took out his purse and pulled out one hundred taels of gold, handing it to the Little One in front of him. He then pointed to the side where the roasted meat was and asked, "Can I go over there to get another Roasted Mountain Chicken?"
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing accepted the one hundred taels of gold he offered and gently nodded in agreement.
With the Little One's consent, Mo Xuan took a delicious Roasted Mountain Chicken off the Grill. After obtaining the fragrant roasted meat, Mo Xuan quickly walked towards Dongfang Hao, who was standing not far away.
Seeing that Mo Xuan had returned with the roasted meat, Dongfang Hao continued to walk forward until they reached the entrance of Prince Luo's Residence. Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming then stopped and did not accompany them any further.
After sending off His Majesty Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard, they hurried back to Piaoyun Pavilion to enjoy their delicious roasted meat with great Speed.
The night sky was vast and silent, with stars scattered across the horizon.
Having left Prince Luo's Residence, Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard Mo Xuan were sitting in a carriage that sped down the street towards the palace.
Before long, they arrived at the magnificent palace.
As soon as Dongfang Hao returned to his chamber, he hadn’t even finished a cup of tea when a small door in the secret passage opened. Out stepped another Dongfang Hao from the dark passage.
Indeed, there were now two identical Dongfang Haos in this chamber.
Among these two identical Dongfang Haos, one was a disguised Dongfang Hao while the other was the real Emperor Dongfang Hao.
As soon as the latter emerged from the secret passage and entered the chamber, he saw another Dongfang Hao sitting at the table drinking tea.
Upon seeing the Dongfang Hao who was drinking tea, the one who had just come out of the dark passage quickly called out to him, "Senior Brother, you're back! How was it? Did you see that Little Princess from Prince Luo's Residence?"
It turned out that the figure emerging from the secret passage, Dongfang Hao, was actually the disguised Mu Xi!
As Mu Xi spoke, he walked towards Your Majesty Dongfang Hao. Suddenly, he caught a whiff of a rich aroma of roasted meat wafting from the palace.
Curious, he glanced around the chamber until his gaze landed on a table beside Dongfang Hao.
On that table sat a beautifully cooked and enticing Roasted Mountain Chicken. Seeing this, Mu Xi couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, didn't you go to Prince Luo's Residence to gather information? Why did you bring back roasted meat?"
Upon hearing his barrage of questions, Your Majesty Dongfang Hao, seated in a Carved Wooden Chair, raised an eyebrow slightly and replied calmly, "The Little Princess at Prince Luo's Residence is indeed the same Little Doll I encountered on the street that day."
He paused for a moment, pointing at the fragrant Roasted Mountain Chicken on the table. "And this mountain chicken was roasted by that very Little Doll. Give it a try; it tastes quite good."
After hearing Senior Brother Dongfang Hao's words, Mu Xi became agitated and immediately asked, "Senior Brother, didn't you say that the Little Doll was incredibly arrogant and looked down on you? How can she possibly be the same person as the Little Princess from Prince Luo's Residence?"
"I suspect that the information you gathered earlier was intentionally released by Prince Luo's Residence, while the real truth has been kept under wraps," Dongfang Hao slowly revealed his speculation.
Quickly, Mu Xi inquired, "Then what is the real truth?"
After glancing at his younger brother, Mu Xi, with raised eyebrows, Dongfang Hao replied slowly, "You might not believe this, but it seems that in Prince Luo's Residence, that Little Doll calls the shots. Even her father—Lo An Lord—mostly has to listen to her."
Upon hearing this from Dongfang Hao, Mu Xi was astonished and blurted out without thinking, "No way! Is it really that exaggerated? That Little Doll can't even be six years old yet!"
"You forget that while she may be under six years old, her martial arts skills surpass yours. Moreover, her culinary skills are on par with or even better than those of the royal chefs in this palace!"
"Ah! No way! Her martial arts and knowledge were already astonishing enough; now there's culinary skill surpassing that of a royal chef? I'm starting to doubt whether that little girl is even human," said Mu Xi, as he pulled off a leg from the Roasted Mountain Chicken.
Before it was even served, the aroma was already enticing. After taking a bite, he was just as astonished as Dongfang Hao. The roasted meat was not only tender and juicy but also incredibly flavorful.
He himself was a great food lover and had a certain understanding of culinary delights. However, he could confidently say, "With my skills, I could never cook such delicious roasted meat."
Before long, the roasted chicken leg had disappeared into his stomach. Being a true food enthusiast, seeing the meat so fragrant and tasty left him unsatisfied with just one chicken leg.
Thus, he began to devour the Roasted Mountain Chicken on the table with great speed.
Dongfang Hao noticed how eagerly he was eating, as if he hadn't had a meal in days. He couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly and said, "Why are you eating so fast? No one is competing with you. Hurry up and take care of tonight's business in the harem, then come back here to enjoy the roasted meat."
After saying that, he suddenly thought of another question and asked, "By the way, which palace in the harem are you going to tonight?"
"To Consort Mei's Jin Yang Palace," Mu Xi replied while swallowing the roasted meat.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao said lightly, "Oh, just be careful. Don't let anything slip."
"I'll handle it; don't worry. Besides, after all these years, nothing has happened!" Mu Xi immediately responded.
"One should never be careless!"
"Alright, alright, I'm off to take care of things. Save the roasted meat on this table for me!" With that, Mu Xi disappeared through the entrance of the secret passage.
Once Mu Xi had left, Dongfang Hao clapped his hands lightly in the air.
As soon as the sound of his clapping faded away, a middle-aged man dressed in black suddenly appeared in the room, exuding an aura of death.
As soon as he landed, he knelt on one knee before Dongfang Hao. However, the majesty, Dongfang Hao, did not even glance at the man in black on the ground. Instead, he spoke in a cold tone, "Within two hours, find out everything related to the Little Princess in Prince Luo's Residence."
"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as the words left his mouth, the man in black vanished from the palace.
Time flowed swiftly like water and clouds, passing by unnoticed.
Before long, an hour had passed. Dongfang Hao remained quietly seated on the Carved Wooden Chair by the table, sipping tea while waiting for news from his Dark Guard.
Suddenly, he keenly heard the sound of fabric slicing through the air.
Upon hearing that sound, Dongfang Hao knew his personal Dark Guard had returned. He had given him two hours, yet he completed the task in just one.
Thinking about the Dark Guard's speed made a slight smile appear at the corner of Dongfang Hao's mouth. He felt increasingly satisfied with their capabilities.
In just a few blinks, the man in black reappeared in Dongfang Hao's palace, once again kneeling on one knee before him.
Knowing that the Dark Guard had returned, Dongfang Hao glanced at him lightly and said succinctly, "Speak."
The man quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the Little Princess in Prince Luo's Residence is named Luo Bingbing. Her mother died during childbirth due to poisoning. Lord Lo An was heartbroken over her mother's death and left Silver City without even giving her a name. Growing up in the royal residence without support, she lived a life worse than that of the servants. The only person by her side was her mother's maidservant, who took care of her as her Nursemaid. Moreover, she is mute. However, six months ago, she was brutally beaten by Fourth Princess Luo Cai Feng. After waking up from that ordeal, it was as if she had transformed; not only could she speak now but she also possessed remarkable skills. Currently, the true power within Prince Luo's Residence lies with this Little Princess who is merely six years old."
