Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace

Chapter 122: Visiting Ming for the Third Time

It was the morning after Yui Meis chat with the emperors doppelganger.

Yui Mei was about to pass through the gate once again.

She was on her way to visit Ming for the third time because of Yangs request.

Im definitely going to talk to him today!

She strode on with firm resolve towards the gate. It was then that she saw the person who was assigned to accompany her.

She trained her eyes towards the gate, curious about who it was.

Oy, Lassie!

A beefy man was energetically waving his hand while yelling.

Yes, it was the bear man once again.

Well, it was also possible that it was just a coincidence that he was at the gate, and he had other matters to attend to.

Yui Mei approached General Li while wondering which of the two was true.

Will you accompany me this time too?

She tried asking for the meantime. General Li nodded in return.

Yeah, well, even if they didnt ask me, I still want to knock some sense into him!

General Li punched his fist onto his other palm.

Ah, dont tell memaybe that eunuch is the one who sent General Li!

That person seemed to be concerned about Ming.

At any rate, Yui Mei already met General Li here, so they decided to move along.

They walked on the path leading to Mings mansion. It was already the third time, so they were familiar with the road.

Is he home?

Yui Mei was worried in case he went to the pub again, but General Li just smirked.

Hes there for sure. I already ordered my subordinate to guard him so he cant go out.

 Oh, he did say that Im going to watch you! when they visited Ming last time, and he actually did it.

Yui Mei saw well-built men standing in front of Mings mansion as she and the general drew closer. They bowed when they saw General Li.

They might be wearing civilian clothes, but they were probably General Lis subordinates.

By the way, both the front and the back gate were being guarded.

Whats the situation inside?

Well, we already prepared ourselves that we might have to fight with Lord Ming. However, it is strangely quiet inside, and he didnt leave the mansion, not even once.

The man standing watch was also bewildered while saying those things.

General Li and Yui Mei exchanged looks when they heard that.

Seems like he had been really terrified out of his wits last time.

Could it be that he was still shaking in fright ever since he mistook Yui Mei for her mothers ghost?

Yui Mei was bothered about this thought while General Li led her to the backdoor.

Oh, youre back.

The old woman looked at Yui Mei and the general, but she wasnt surprised.

There were guards standing watch, so she probably expected their arrival sooner or later.

How is Ming?

Well, thats

The old woman sighed in response to General Lis query.

It seemed that he wasnt in a good condition.

She just said Please do meet him at any rate, and she guided them towards Mings bedroom.

The sight of Ming slumped on the bed with dark shadows under his eyes greeted them.

Uwah

Yui Mei unwittingly mumbled when she saw his ghost-like appearance.

Ming turned towards her when he heard her voice.

Hiii! Hui!!!

He shrieked once again, and he fell to the floor, terribly horrified.

Youre here again, youre really blaming me!

He didnt attempt to get up, his entire body shaking crazily.

What the, do I look like a ghost or something?

Yui Mei was already exasperated beyond her worry, and her enthusiasm when she left the Inner Palace also died down.

People apparently became calmer when someone was quivering before their eyes.

I didnt have the guts, so you died because of me! Im sorry, Im sorry!

General Li was bothered, and he asked What happened to him? as he stared at Ming, who kept on apologizing while all curled up with his bottoms facing Yui Mei.
