Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 112 Testing Poison (Additional Update 8)

At that, Xiaoxiao immediately blushed and hit Lin Yi on the chest:

"Naughty boy, you’re such a big naughty boy, the naughtiest of all under the heavens, always bullying Xiaoxiao."

As Xiaoxiao hit him, Lin Yi just laughed merrily.

As he had to be on duty that night, after frolicking for a while, Lin Yi went to sleep.

After Lin Yi fell asleep, Xiaoxiao returned alone to the round table and picked up the unfinished sewing, starting to stitch again.

While sewing, a very warm smile also appeared on his lovely face.

The scene looked just like that of a happily married couple.

Lin Yi slept until sunset when he was awakened by the rich scent of food.

As he opened his eyes, Xiaoxiao’s voice also came through:

"Wake up, get ready to eat. We need to go on duty soon."

Rolling out of bed, Lin Yi didn’t know when Xiaoxiao had retrieved the shoe from outside, and after putting it on, he came to the table, looking curiously at the dishes laid out and asked:

"The food doesn’t look like it’s from the Imperial Kitchen?

Also, what hour is it now, and there’s still food available?"

It is known that within the Imperial Palace, whether concubines or palace maids and eunuchs, everyone eats from a common cauldron.

And there are fixed times for meals, usually wanting to eat at other times is simply impossible.

But now, seeing that the time didn’t match up, and it wasn’t the usual mealtime, that’s why Lin Yi was puzzled.

While serving Lin Yi rice, Wen Yan explained:

"Of course, this isn’t from the Imperial Kitchen’s chefs, I made this myself. This place has been granted the Emperor’s special permission to light a fire."

At these words, Lin Yi was initially stunned, then he picked up some food with his chopsticks and continued asking:

"His Majesty specially allowed it? When was this decided? Oh right, what’s with the arrangement outside, when was that set up? You really manage to get quite a lot done."

While talking, Lin Yi quickly shoveled food into his mouth.

However, hearing this, Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, served herself a bowl of rice, sat down to eat with Lin Yi, and started explaining:

"Where would I get such ability? All these were specially permitted by His Majesty. Who would dare to do this without His Majesty’s permission?"

Noticing Lin Yi’s confusion, Xiaoxiao immediately continued explaining:

"While you were out, His Majesty sent someone here in person.

Not only did they leave me here to teach you etiquette, but they also permitted us to renovate this courtyard, and even had it styled after the Eastern Palace."

Hearing this, Lin Yi was utterly shocked, putting down his chopsticks and said in disbelief:

"What? What did you say, our place is modeled after what? Styled after the Eastern Palace?"

Hearing Lin Yi’s confusion, Xiaoxiao nodded and didn’t say much, but Lin Yi was even more speechless.

Helplessly shaking his head, he continued eating and mumbling:

"This little Emperor really knows how to take advantage anytime.

"Damn it, how dare you build this place according to your son’s standards? Are you treating me like your own son?"

Of course, since he was muttering while eating, Xiaoxiao couldn’t quite hear clearly what he was saying. Otherwise, she would surely have been Taken aback.

After all, these are favors from Your Majesty, luxuries others could only dream of. How could anyone dismiss them?

After gobbling down several bites, Lin Yi finally wiped his mouth:

"Alright, I’m full and off to work. You behave at home, don’t do those handcrafts anymore. If you hurt your little hands again, it will really pain my heart.

I’ll check when I get back. If I see you embroidering anything again, see if I don’t spank you."

After saying this, he didn’t forget to smooch on the other’s face, then strode out briskly.

After being kissed by Lin Yi, Xiaoxiao blushed instantly, sitting there holding her bowl and chopsticks, foolishly smiling as she watched Lin Yi disappear at the door.

Exiting the yard, Lin Yi didn’t idle; he headed straight for the Imperial Study Room since his duty included night patrols there as a eunuch.

However, when he got to the Imperial Study Room, he found the young Emperor sitting in front of the meal.

But it looked like the Emperor hadn’t started eating yet since the dishes and utensils in front of him were untouched.

Seeing Lin Yi arrive, the Emperor immediately waved at him:

"Lin Yi, what hour is it now? Why did you just come? I’ve been starving and waiting for you."

These words deeply touched Lin Yi, his eyes almost filled with tears.

[Damn, the Emperor was actually waiting to have dinner with me.

Truly worthy of the little Emperor I adore and tenderly care for.

I would’ve never expected the Emperor to have such a tender side; it really made me see him in a new light.]

Hearing his thoughts, the Emperor rolled his eyes and sternly said:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and taste; try each dish so I can finally start eating."

These words shattered Lin Yi’s touched feelings like glass.

[Damn it. So you were letting me test for poison! Please, little Emperor, be a bit humane.]

Seeing him like this, the Emperor tried hard to keep a straight face but urged Lin Yi to hurry.

With no choice, Lin Yi reluctantly approached the table.

As he picked up a dish to taste, he couldn’t help but silently curse the young Emperor in his heart.

Seeing Lin Yi’s reluctant face and the silent curses in his heart, the Emperor, for some reason, felt very happy.

However, this scene made an old eunuch watching nearby very puzzled.

He was also secretly guessing what the Emperor’s purpose was in doing this.

These dishes had already been tested for poison, so why did he insist that Eunuch Lin personally taste them?
