Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 373 - 371: Guessing Riddles

Lin Yi had barely finished speaking when Xiaoxiao suddenly felt something was quite unusual.

And this made her cheeks immediately flush with a crimson color.

At the same time, she coyly glanced at Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, you’re so annoying, it’s still broad daylight. Someone might come in later."

"Ha-ha, don’t worry, without my command, who dares to barge into my bedroom?

Come on, let’s go inside and have a good discussion."

While talking, Lin Yi directly carried Li Xiaoxiao towards the bedroom.

"Xiaoxiao, Lin Yi has a riddle for you, why don’t you try to guess?"

Hearing this question, Xiaoxiao displayed great interest, looking at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression and blinked twice before asking:

"Oh, treasure-loving Xiaoxiao loves puzzles the most, please tell me, Lin Yi, I’m all ears."

Lin Yi deliberately coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then continued:

"Really? Then listen carefully. A forest as big as a palm, a door as wide as two fingers, the one bringing water entered the forest, and the one bringing eggs is still knocking on the door.

What do you think? Take a good guess, what could it be?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao, held in Lin Yi’s arms, instantly fell into deep thought.

A finger placed on her lips, sliding continuously, while her mind also rapidly pondered over what Lin Yi’s riddle could possibly mean?

Yet, the simple-minded Xiaoxiao couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brains.

This only made her more bewildered, her eyebrows tightly knit together.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yi gently stroked between her eyebrows, letting her relax her frown, then he said:

"Ha-ha, can’t guess, right? It doesn’t matter, Lin Yi will tell you what it is.

Come on, let’s go into the bedroom, and I will explain this riddle properly to you."

In the following period, Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao carefully studied this riddle in the bedroom.

Finally, after an hour of explanation, Xiaoxiao finally grasped what the riddle was about.

At the same time, her pretty face turned crimson, and she playfully punched Lin Yi lightly:

"Lin Yi, you’re so bad for coming up with such a riddle. Really, how could one guess that?"

After Xiaoxiao found a satisfying sense of presence, Lin Yi laughed heartily.

Then, they chatted casually for a while before he stood up, greeted her, and headed outside:

"Ha-ha, next time I’ll find a simpler riddle to ask.

I’m off, I need to go to the Imperial Palace to discuss some matters with His Majesty, I won’t return tonight.

If you need anything, just go find Wan’er."

Hearing that Lin Yi was leaving, Xiaoxiao immediately stood up and straightened his clothes.

Her demeanor was just like that of a dutiful little wife.

Speaking of Lin Yi, after leaving the base, he went straight to the Imperial Palace.

And after the previous competition, a subtle change had already taken place within the Capital City.

The demeanor of the city wall’s garrison had also changed from before.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, the respect they showed was beyond words.

Exaggeration aside, everyone looking at Lin Yi no longer did so with superficial reverence while secretly holding contempt.

But now, everyone’s gaze was filled with genuine awe.

This is truly a figure akin to the god of war, able to defeat a thousand Turkic people with just a few hundred.

Such an event, unprecedented prior, sufficiently illustrates both the mighty strength of Lin Yi and the Nanshan Guards.

As he passed through the city gates, upon seeing Lin Yi’s carriage, everyone promptly straightened up and delivered a standard You Country military salute. freёweɓnovel_com

Their gaze followed Lin Yi’s carriage until it entered the city before retracting.

The carriage went straight on, heading directly to the heart of the Imperial City.

Once here, even Lin Yi had no choice but to descend from his carriage and switch to walking, making his way towards the Imperial Study Room.

After all, carriages were forbidden within the Imperial Palace.

Even for Lin Yi.

Of course, Lin Yi somewhat lagged in this regard.

After all, the season was still bearable, not too cold.

But come winter, in the season of heavy snow, riding a sedan would indeed be miserable.

However, it is still too early to speak of such matters now, and Lin Yi wasn’t concerned.

In this way, he arrived smoothly in front of the Imperial Study Room without needing anyone to announce his arrival.

Especially when those Palace Maids and eunuchs on duty in front of the Imperial Study Room saw Lin Yi, they immediately bowed and respectfully stood aside.

After all, although Lin Yi is now a Great General, he also holds the position of Chief Supervisor of the Imperial Presence.

This position allowed him free movement within the Imperial Palace.

He gently pushed open the door of the Imperial Study Room, the scene before him was all too familiar.

He saw the young Emperor leaning over the Imperial Table, meticulously reading the memorials submitted from below.

Just as Lin Yi was about to step forward and tease the young Emperor, the Emperor’s voice suddenly came through:

"Look who’s back, not enjoying your romantic escapades?"

Even as he spoke, the young Emperor did not look up.

This prompted a wry smile from Lin Yi, who gestured to a corner of the ceiling beam.

Without guessing, one would know that Ying Yi must have informed the Emperor of his arrival.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, what are you saying? My heart is always with you. The moment I had a chance, I rushed over to see you."

After these words, the young Emperor slightly lifted his head, raised his eyelids to glance at Lin Yi, and then lightly ’oh’ed:

"Missing me? Or just my status?

But, haven’t you started forming your own female troops?

Isn’t that keeping you busy enough?

Still having time to think about me?"

A barrage of questions made Lin Yi scratch his head, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression.

He knew the young Emperor would have heard of this, but he didn’t expect him to know so soon.

No sooner had he let Wan’er start making preparations than the young Emperor had already received the news.

This sufficiently proved the extent of the young Emperor’s informants.

Even within his Nanshan territory, likely no place lacks the young Emperor’s informants.

However, this was all permitted by Lin Yi.

After all, the entire Shadow Guard was under Ying Yi’s control.

Which meant, the one keeping an eye on him, was also his woman.
