"This Miss Xie, at such a young age, is quite something!"
Ji Youzhi, also realizing this belatedly, began to mumble.
"Indeed, this is interesting. It's settled. Youze, have someone send a message to the Celestial Prison. Without My permission, no one is allowed to visit or release the prisoner—not even the Empress Dowager!"
The young Emperor was completely excited and immediately left his desk. "Let's go! We'll change clothes and go outside the Palace to watch a play!" With that, he called his personal eunuch, Xiaoyuanzi. "Xiaoyuanzi, quick, bring Me a set of plain clothes to change into!"
"Your Majesty," Ji Youze calmly called out to the young Emperor, pointing at the pile of memorials on the imperial desk. "Your incognito tour of the south has already delayed many state affairs."
Upon hearing this, the young Emperor's expression stiffened. "Youze, are you defying your sovereign? Do you wish for Me to punish you?"
