35: Chapter 35: Your Majesty, aren’t you making it difficult for ?
Editor: Henyee Translations Has she really recovered so quickly?
Just last night, I was busy negotiating several business deals worth over a hundred million, and now the Empress has just been through her monthly ordeal.
Her physical strength is truly formidable.
Of course, even though I think this, I naturally wouldn’t say it out loud.
After all, this isn’t sothing I can decide.
So, after a brief greeting with Xiao Xiao, I walked towards the Imperial Study Room.
As I arrived at the door, I gently pushed it open and carefully made my way inside.
I had thought about knocking first, but considering the Emperor might be reviewing docunts, it seed best not to disturb.
Who knows if the lady might lose her temper.
However, as I tiptoed in, I was astonished to find no sign of the Emperor at the desk.
This left montarily stupefied.
Where could the Emperor have gone?
While puzzling over this, my gaze began to sweep around the room.
I had been standing guard outside, so I was certain the Emperor hadn’t left the Imperial Study Room.
If not, then he must have gone into the inner chamber.
With that in mind, I slowly made my way there.
After all, the Empress was waiting for my response.
After circling around a folding screen, without making a sound, I stepped in.
Sure enough, when I entered the inner chamber, I saw soone lying on the bed.
Approaching quietly, I saw the Emperor with eyes closed and brows tightly knit.
Obviously, he seed to be asleep.
Gazing upon the Emperor’s exquisitely beautiful face, with its furrowed brows, the aura of a powerful woman was unmistakable.
Such beauty almost caused , Lin Yi, to lose myself.
Fortunately, I’m aware of my own stature, and I’m fully cognizant of the fact that his Combat Power is stronger than mine.
What’s more, aside from the little Emperor, there are definitely more than one person in this room.
Especially knowing that Xiao Xiao is waiting outside, I couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
It seems I shouldn’t expect to have an in-depth exchange with the Empress tonight.
Especially seeing the Emperor’s furrowed brows and the slightly haggard face, I didn’t have the heart to wake him.
So, I tiptoed back out again.
Upon seeing erge, Xiao Xiao imdiately ca over.
Then, she stared at with her watery, big eyes.
“Ahem, Miss Xiao Xiao, His Majesty might be too exhausted and is already asleep.
It appears we won’t be able to visit the Anning Palace tonight.”
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao simply nodded her head:
“Alright, you take over the duty.
I must hurry back and report to the Empress.”
At this point, Xiao Xiao’s voice suddenly dropped, and she couldn’t help but blush as she said:
“I probably won’t finish my shift until after the hour of the Rabbit tomorrow.
I’ll bring so food to see you then.”
With those words, she bashfully lowered her head and quickly trotted off.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a ticklish sensation in his heart.
That girl is just too enticing.
With her adorable manner, I truly wish I could hold her and pamper her dearly.
However, just as Xiao Xiao led two little palace maids away and disappeared from Lin Yi’s sight, Lin Yi suddenly rembered that he was supposed to accompany the young Emperor to court tomorrow!
After the third watch, there was no way he could return.
“Alas, this little Emperor is such a pitfall!”
With that thought, he quickly called over a nearby palace maid and had her relay a ssage to Xiao Xiao, telling her that he was going to court with His Majesty tomorrow and might return late.
If it wasn’t for his duty that prevented him from leaving, Lin Yi would certainly excuse himself for the unsafe night and personally take Xiao Xiao back.
Of course, the road at this hour was not easy to travel, and Lin Yi wouldn’t mind carrying the girl Xiao Xiao on his back.
Although the girl looked sowhat thin, with two large cushions on his back, it surely wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the two dimly visible palace lanterns in the dark night, Lin Yi helplessly shook his head.
Thinking that the young Emperor was still sleeping in his room, he resud his steps and entered the Imperial Study Room.
After all, there was so distance between the inside and outside, so if the young Emperor called for soone in the middle of the night, one standing at the door might not hear him.
Of course, Lin Yi would never admit that he went inside because there were too many mosquitoes outside.
Returning to the Imperial Study Room, Lin Yi’s gaze swept around, finally settling on the row of cushions near the inner door.
The little Emperor was sleeping anyway, so he might as well take a nap here.
Even if he had just napped during the day, he couldn’t just sit idly through the long night.
Approaching the cushions, Lin Yi decided to just lie down.
“Little Lin Zi, Little Lin Zi…”
However, just as Lin Yi had barely lain down, he suddenly heard the young Emperor’s soft voice near his ear.
Lin Yi was montarily stunned, then quickly sat up.
Now working for soone else, he had only himself to bla for getting caught sleeping.
Stepping into the inner room, Lin Yi thought the young Emperor had woken up, but he didn’t expect that the Emperor was still in the sa sleeping position as before.
The young Emperor just muttered “Little Lin Zi” from ti to ti.
This made Lin Yi helplessly shake his head, thinking that his charm was indeed too great; even in his sleep, the little Emperor was dreaming of him.
Just as he shook his head and was preparing to go out and lie down again, the young Emperor’s voice rang out once more.
And this ti, he wasn’t calling “Little Lin Zi”:
“Climb up here…”
Although the voice was not loud, Lin Yi heard it clearly.
This made him, who was about to leave, freeze on the spot.
Gazing at the young Emperor’s beautiful face, Lin Yi involuntarily swallowed and asked cautiously:
“Your Majesty, what did you say?
Are you asking to co up and sleep with you??”
Who would have expected that right after these words fell, the young Emperor, as if possessed, humd an affirmative sound.
Though it was unclear if he was dreaming or genuinely heard Lin Yi’s question, in either case, he responded to Lin Yi.
Of course, if soone could read dreams, they would realize that, at this mont in the young Emperor’s dream, he was facing Lin Yi with a frosty expression, sword in hand, and thundering, “Little Lin Zi, co here, see if I don’t gouge out your dog eyes!”
…
This completely unsettled Lin Yi.
At the sa ti, he began to feel conflicted.
“Damn it, what should I do?
Whether I should go up or not, if I go up, I know you’re definitely dreaming.
But if I don’t go up, it’s defying the imperial order.
Even if you’re a sleeping Emperor, you’re still the Emperor.”
Thereupon, he actually turned around and looked towards the ceiling of the great hall, putting on a troubled face as he said:
…End of the chapter…
