The ultimate husband

Read The Ultimate Husband by Skykissing wolf Chapter 1166 – 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 else is allowed to try? I’m very confident I will succeed. Besides, I’m not 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 opportunities 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 that, 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.

Darryl took the honey and applied a tiny bit of it at one end of the tiny hole on the Nine Curves Jade.

“General Fletcher, excuse me. Could you please help me catch an ant?” he said, smiling at Fletcher.

Fletcher behaved arrogantly simply because he was the Royal Guard General and was highly regarded by the

Empress. Since he ridiculed Darryl the most, Darryl wanted to seize this opportunity to give him a taste of his own

medicine.

‘What?”

‘Catch an ant?’

‘A eunuch asked the General to catch an ant?’

‘Who gave him the courage?’ everyone wondered.

Fletcher’s face changed instantly as he stared at Darryl in anger, “What did you say? Are you asking me to catch an

ant for you?”

Everyone was stunned too.

How crazy was the eunuch that he dared to order General Fletcher?

Did he know that he was the Empress’ favorite person?

Darryl smiled and was laughing secretly at Fletcher. “This is important for the reputation of South Cloud World.

General Fletcher, please sacrifice a little. We’re now deep in winter; it is not easy for the soldiers to find ants.”

As he said that, the Empress nodded too, “General Fletcher, go. Hurry!”

Darryl had piqued the Empress’ curiosity. ‘This eunuch is asking for honey and now asking for an ant. Although it

seemed unbelievable, he seems to be so confident, and obviously he has a way.’

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Upon hearing the Empress’ order, Fletcher dared not delay further and ran out of the main

hall.

However, he glared at Darryl as he turned to leave. ‘How dare little eunuch give me orders. I will wait for you to be

executed after you fail, and I will be there to witness too!”

Soon, Fletcher returned with some ants and handed them to Darryl.

At that moment, everyone’s focus was on Darryl.

First honey, then ants. What was he trying to do?

Darryl smiled, he tied the thread gently on the ant’s body and put the ant into the tiny hole of the Nine Curves Jade.

At that moment, something incredible happened.

As Darryl had applied some honey at the other end of the tiny hold, the ant smelled the fragrance of the honey and

started to crawl. Although the tiny hole had twists and turns, the ant could go through it easily with its tiny body. At

the same time, it carried the red thread with it naturally.

Soon, Darryl lifted up the Nine Curve Jade that was properly tied with the red thread and showed it around. He then

ended with a smile at the Empress. “Your Majesty, mission accomplished.”

The main hall was in total silence. It was so quiet that you would be able to hear the sound of a needle falling.
