"Glad to hear that, Andy. I too think the same," the emperor said with an enormous smile. "After taking

the Longevity Pills, I feel I

am loaded with energy. I never feel tired, however hard I stress my body."

"Your Majesty, although the Longevity Pills are doing their job, you'd better take care of yourself," Andy

said with a smile. "Your

Majesty, are you willing to choose a lady as your company today?"

"No. Today I will be going to Sherry's palace," the emperor said slowly. Sherry was willful at times, but

she was never aggressive.

Over the years, she had been taking care of Francis. Now that Francis was getting better, she had

more free time.

"Yes, Your Majesty. As you please! I'm going to inform Lady Sherry right away..."

"That's unnecessary. I'll go straight there," the emperor said with a smile. He liked Sherry because she

had a character. She

never struggled against other ladies, neither for his favor nor for power. Also, Francis' performance

gave him a sense of

satisfaction. Moreover, due to the effect of the Longevity Pills, he felt like he was at least ten years

younger and was full of vigor.

Thus, he felt very happy.

In the Spring Palace, Sherry frowned tightly, reading the message she had just received. Francis had

been caught in the rain

over two hours in Matthew's mansion and even fainted. She felt enraged and confused. Even though

Harper had successfully treated Francis and thus saved him, the chances of them trying to harm

Francis were grim. After all,

Francis had not recovered yet. Sherry was afraid that some lingering effects would be left, and that

might cause severe

consequences.

"How is Francis now? Is he okay?" Sherry asked worriedly. "Is there anything serious?"

"Lady Sherry, Prince Francis went to sleep as soon as he returned to his mansion, but he didn't look

that good. Owen said that Prince Francis had a cold, but refused to take any medicine. Owen couldn't

do anything about it." While Sherry was angry and worried, a maid came in to report to her, "Lady

Sherry, His Majesty is here." "His Majesty..." Sherry mumbled as she was quite surprised. She quickly

stood up and went outside to welcome the emperor. As the emperor approached the Spring Palace,

she greeted, "Your Majesty." "Arise please. Don't be too polite, my darling," the emperor said, while

supporting Sherry up by himself. "I've just completed the review of all reports. I came here to have a

taste of the cakes you make." "Certainly, Your Majesty. Please wait for a while, as I'm going to make..."

"I can't bear seeing you making them by yourself," the emperor said, as he kissed on the palm of hers

that he was holding. "In fact, I don't miss the cakes, but you." Although Sherry was nearly forty years

old, she looked much younger. The emperor's words made her blush immediately. She walked along

with the emperor into the Spring Palace. They looked like a loving couple still in their twenties, and

would have made anyone envious.

"Humph! The tail is wagging the dog!" Cheryl snorted coldly as she passed by the gate of the Spring

Palace. "She is an elderly

woman of fading charms, but is still shameless enough to occupy His Majesty."

"Cheryl, you know what? His Majesty has been doting on Lady Sherry so much recently, while all other

ladies have been

neglected," another young maid said in a low voice. "People who don't know the situation in the

Imperial Palace would think that

Lady Sherry is the one in charge of the imperial harem."

"She doesn't deserve it!" Cheryl exclaimed. She was just a first-class maid working for the empress.

When Felix was placed

under house arrest, the empress too was left out in the cold by the emperor. Earlier, the Sleek Palace

had been bustling with people, but no more. On the contrary, Sherry's Spring Palace had become the

center of attention for everyone. The young maid led Cheryl to a remote path and said, "Cheryl, there is

something you don't know. His Majesty is not attracted by Lady Sherry herself, but by those pretty

personal maids working for her." A tinge of surprise flashed across Cheryl's eyes. "Are you implying

that Lady Sherry uses her beautiful maids to win over His Majesty? How could it work?"

Getting closer to Cheryl, the young maid whispered in her ears, "Of course it works. His Majesty is very

much fond of a maid

named Minna, who works by Lady Sherry's side. You're even more beautiful than Minna. It was only

because His Majesty was

angry with Her Majesty that she had the chance to show up in front of His Majesty."

The young maid's compliments made Cheryl feel thrilled. But Cheryl's anger was not without reason.

The empress was really in

a bad mood recently. So, her personal maids were having a hard time, especially Cheryl, who had

been criticized and punished

by the emperor for multiple times.

"Well, I guess it's not a good time to mention it now..."

"Isn't that Minna, the maid I just mentioned to you about?" the young maid said in a surprised tone.

"What is she doing there

secretly?"

Cheryl felt confused and curious. Right at that moment, the young maid was called away by another

maid. The young maid

hastily said goodbye to Cheryl and left with the maid who called her.

Since Cheryl had just heard about Minna from the young maid, she was curious. Wondering what

Minna was doing there, she

walked towards there quietly. However, she was shocked as she reached closer.

She saw Minna using a voodoo doll in the Cold Palace.

Inside the Imperial Palace or outside, anything related to voodoo was a taboo for everyone. If anybody

was caught while using a

voodoo doll, the person would surely be doomed to death. A glimmer of cruelty flashed across Cheryl's

eyes. She rushed inside

the Cold Palace and grabbed Minna. "You bitch, how dare you use such a filthy thing in the Imperial

Palace? I will report it to Her

Majesty right away. You will be punished!"
