The Emperor’s favorite consort’s surname was Wang. She had entered the palace three years ago and had never been favored. However, she had given birth to a little princess for the Emperor and thus became a consort. The Emperor had conferred her with the title of Zhao. Previously, there was Worthy Consort Xu who had power in the harem, and there was Lady Wan of Bright Deportment who was favored by the Emperor. Consort Zhao did not seem to stand out.
After the Empress walked out of the Fengshai Palace, she had chosen her among many concubines in order to be favored. In a month, Consort Zhao had been summoned five times. This was almost comparable to Consort Li back then, not to mention that the Emperor’s interest in sex had greatly decreased after he entered middle age. Under such circumstances, Consort Zhao could still be favored time and time again. It could be seen how much the Emperor doted on her.
However, accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. Perhaps it was her luck to be chosen by the Empress, but it was her ability to make the Emperor keep thinking about her. She had waited so long for this opportunity to stand out. She was more careful than anyone else, but the moment she screamed, she knew that she was finished.
Her one month of hard work had all gone down the drain.
When Eunuch Wang heard the scream, he couldn’t care less about anything else and rushed in immediately. The palace maids and eunuchs on duty at the side of the hall were also shocked by Consort Zhao’s voice.
The few of them stood in front of the bed in unison. When they saw the scene on the bed, they almost screamed.
The Emperor had exhausted himself last night and was the last to wake up, but he was not much later than them. When he opened his eyes, he saw a group of palace servants standing in front of him, dumbfounded. He frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Other than Eunuch Wang, the palace servants knelt on the ground. Consort Zhao also grabbed her clothes to cover her body and pounced off the bed to kneel in front of the Emperor.
The Emperor was even more puzzled. “What’s wrong with all of you so early in the morning?”
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak. It was Eunuch Wang who risked being killed and carefully pointed with his fingertip.
The Emperor looked down. His chest hair was gone!
The Emperor gasped and lifted the blanket. He saw that the leg hair that had finally grown back was gone too! Not only that, but the hair on his feet was also gone!
What-what was going on? Who the f*ck did this?!
He reluctantly pulled open his pants. When he saw that there was nothing left of his hair, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Eunuch Wang followed the Emperor’s gaze and opened his mouth. Uh… he didn’t expect this.
However, this was not the most terrifying thing.
Just as the Emperor was about to flip the table in anger, Eunuch Wang silently brought over a bronze mirror.
The Emperor looked at the bald man in the mirror. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and fainted.
Eunuch Wang did not know how everything happened. Consort Zhao was scared to death. She cried and trembled. “It’s not me… It’s not me… It’s really not…”
Of course, Eunuch Wang understood that Consort Zhao did not have the guts.
… It was mainly because she did not have such skills. The hair was shaved so clean that it looked like it had never grown. Eunuch Wang looked at the sky strangely. Hmph, how did that person do it?
This matter could not be spread, or else the Emperor would be shamed. Eunuch Wang immediately gave the witnesses a gag order, and Consort Zhao was no exception. Then, Eunuch Wang dismissed the morning court assembly with the excuse of the Emperor’s occasional cold and discomfort.
The Emperor was probably really angry. He fainted for a long time and only woke up slowly two hours later. When he thought of what had happened to him, he was so angry that he fainted again. This way, it was not until evening that the Emperor could finally look at himself directly and see that he had become a white chicken.
“Your Majesty, have some tea.” Eunuch Wang boldly served a cup of tea to dispel heatiness.
The Emperor knocked over the cup in his hand. “Call that brat over!”
Eunuch Wang was stunned. “Is it… Young Master Yan?”
The Emperor was furious. “What other brat is there?!”
Eunuch Wang immediately went to the Young Master Manor. Yu Wan returned to the village. Yan Jiuchao was about to go to Lotus Flower Village to pick her up when he was stopped by Eunuch Wang.
“Young Master, follow me into the palace.”
Eunuch Wang did not say anything, but the Emperor did not easily summon him. Yan Jiuchao thought for a while and followed Eunuch Wang.
This time, he did not go to the imperial study. Instead, he turned around and entered the Emperor’s bedchamber.
The bedchamber emitted a rich ambergris fragrance. Yan Jiuchao frowned. Although the ambergris was good, he did not like this smell.
A wide screen was placed in front of the bed. Eunuch Wang brought him here and obediently retreated out of the door.
Yan Jiuchao looked at the screen in front of him and raised his eyebrows. “Your Majesty, you called me?”
