The Ultimate Husband (Book 4)

CHAPTERS 1166 - 1170

Fletcher could not help himself and scolded Darryl, pointing at him, "How could you solve it if all of us couldn't? Don't make a fool of yourself. Step back at once!"

Fletcher felt that the eunuch was just trying his luck to get the Empress's reward.

At the same time, all of the Ministers scolded Darryl too.

"That's right. Why is little eunuch like you trying to be a fool?"

"Do you know what the consequences are if you aren't successful?"

"How rude you are..."

Everyone was busy shouting. Darryl could not help but laugh quietly as he looked around. "So when none of you were able to succeed, no one trying to show off. I'm doing this to save the South Cloud World's reputation."

When he said that, Fletcher and the rest had nothing to say. Darryl knew clearly what Fletcher and the rest were thinking. They were worried that if he succeeded, it would show how useless the Ministers were.

The truth was Darryl had no intention to show off. However, when he heard the Empress mention a reward, Darryl had a deep thought. It was almost impossible for him as a little eunuch to get the Dragon Essence back from Quincy. However, if he had recognition from the Empress, he might have more oppotunities to stay close to Quincy and get back the Dragon Essence!

"You really have a solution?" the Empress asked calmly, looking at Darryl.

Darryl did not speak but nodded his head.

Seeing tht, Princess Evergreen stepped forward and could not help but say, "Your Majesty, please let him try."

When she said that, Princess Evergreen could not help but look at Darryl.

In the beginning, Princess Evergreen thought Darryl was just fooling around. After she saw how confident Darryl was, she changed her mind. She would be proud too if he succeeded.

"Alright then! I approve. But if you fail, you will be taken away from the palace and be executed." the Empress nodded her head after listening to Princess Evergreen.

The matter might seem small, but this was about the South Cloud World's reputation.

'Executed? Luckily, I know the solution; otherwise, I would have gambled my life away.'

Hearing that, Darryl's heart started racing, but his face remained calm. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you."

Fletcher and the rest were smirking. They could not hide the contempt on their faces.

'A eunuch is trying to impress the Empress. He's just waiting to be decapitated!'

They felt that Darryl was only pretending to be calm and that he did not have the solution at all.

Yoel's expression was also full of disdain! 'If the Ministers didn't have the solution, how would a eunuch be able to do it? He's just going to make a fool of himself.'

Darryl was not bothered by all the looks of disdain from everyone. He took the Nine Curves Jade and red thread. He took a look at them and said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, can you please get someone to prepare some honey for me."

'Honey? What for?' everyone wondered as Fletcher and the other Ministers looked at each other.

Fletcher could not help but tease Darryl, "Hey Eunuch, are you trying to feed yourself, knowing that you'll be decapitated?"

Everyone could not contain their laughter, but no one dared to laugh too loudly. No matter what, Yoel, the Westrington diplomat, was still there.

The Empress furrowed her brows in confusion but waved her hand. Soon, a maid brought a bottle of honey over.
