Chapter 476: Chapter 477: A Look Like X-rays
He grabbed her shoulders, lowered his head to peck at her lips, and said in a hoarse, deep voice, “The hour is still early, why don’t we sleep a little longer.”
Before Su Yan could protest, he leaned over and pinned her on the bed…
It was nearly noon by the ti the two of them walked out of the house.
Mo Chen had already had soone prepare their al. After eating quickly, they rode together in a carriage to the Imperial Palace.
After the carriage entered the palace gate, it kept moving until it stopped outside the Emperor’s Imperial Study.
The Chief Eunuch, Wan, who was the Emperor’s closest attendant, personally ca to receive them.
After leading them into the Imperial Study, he respectfully said to the Emperor, who was reviewing petitions, “Your Majesty, the State Preceptor, the Seventeenth Princess, and Marquis Chu have arrived.”
The Emperor, seated at his desk, looked up at them, his gaze locking with Su Yan’s. Her heart skipped a beat. Her intuition told her that this Emperor was very authoritative, not as benevolent as he appeared.
The Emperor, now in his sixties, swept a glance at them. Chu Yuxiao and Mo Chen imdiately bowed and said, “Your subjects pay respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, forever and ever.”
Su Yan was montarily stupefied, just about to bow, when she heard the Emperor rise and laugh, “My Little Shiqi has indeed regained her senses. However, it seems you don’t rember . No matter, the rules can be learned slowly later on. There’s no rush now.”
While looking at Su Yan, the Emperor smiled and walked toward her.
Approaching them, he said to Chu Yuxiao and Mo Chen, “My loyal subjects, please rise.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Chu Yuxiao and Mo Chen straightened slightly, their gazes respectfully lowered.
Su Yan glanced at them and followed suit, casting her eyes down in a gesture of deep respect.
Seeing this, the Emperor laughed heartily again.
“Little Shiqi, lift up your head and let your father see what you look like now.”
Su Yan thought, it had only been a few months since Nan Zhao Su Yan got married, not years since they last t, what was there to see.
Still, she did as told, raising her head to look at this Emperor, nominally her father, of the Great Nan Dynasty, Nan Zhao Ling.
Under his X-ray-like scrutiny, Su Yan couldn’t help feeling sowhat uneasy.
