Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 83: Leaving the Imperial City
Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Leaving the Imperial City
Upon hearing these words, the young Emperor was immediately taken aback.
Wishing to pay respects to the Empress?
It was clear he wanted to see his daughter.
But if it hadn’t been for the previous incident, it would have been fine, yet now the Empress was indisposed.
Moreover, the nature of the indisposition was rather embarrassing.
If the old General were to find out, who knows what he would think.
Seeing the Emperor’s dumbfounded expression, General Mu’s heart also skipped a beat.
"If it’s inconvenient, then never mind, this old servant will take his leave."
Saying so, the old General prepared to perform the ritual bow and retire.
At this point, the young Emperor couldn’t postpone any longer, as the General’s request wasn’t excessive.
Thus, after glaring fiercely at Lin Yi, he quickly spoke to the old General:
"You worry too much, General. I was merely thinking of other pleasant matters.
I will have someone escort you to see Wanning."
This single mention of Wanning surprised General Mu, followed by a surge of joy in his heart.
To think that His Majesty didn’t refer to her as the Empress but directly by ’Wanning’ demonstrated just how close their relationship was.
This was precisely the scene he, as a father, most wished to witness.
However, Lin Yi, who was glared at by the young Emperor, felt a great sense of injustice.
The Emperor’s intended message was something Lin Yi could obviously grasp.
[Hey, why are you looking at me like that? It’s not entirely my fault what happened.
To put it accurately, the Empress’s injury was your responsibility.
If you hadn’t kicked me in the rear, how could the Empress have been hurt?]
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s thoughts, the young Emperor was nearly fuming with anger.
If it weren’t for the fear of the other party learning he could hear his thoughts, he would have pointed at his nose and asked why he would kick him for no reason.
After sending someone to accompany the old General to see his daughter, the young Emperor was also content to ignore the matter.
Let whatever happens, happen. After all, the event had already occurred, and it would have to run its course.
Hopefully, the Empress wouldn’t complain to her father about His Majesty.
"Little Linzi, hurry up and come grind the ink for me, you’re so clueless; don’t you see I need to write the edict?"
[Chuh, you’re slandering me. I am very perceptive, heh heh, it’s just that my attention has been on your pretty little face all along.]
The young Emperor: ...
In the following time, the young Emperor issued three edicts.
Laying down the Jade Pen, Lin Yi also put down the inkstick, then lightly blew on the still wet ink.
Once the ink had dried, he picked up the documents:
"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."
"Very well, I entrust this matter to you. Adapt as necessary."
After exiting the Imperial Study Room, Lin Yi led a group of eunuchs straight towards the Imperial Guards’ quarters.
Having arrived at the Imperial Guards, he stayed there for a good half of the day.
By the time he left, the skies had already begun to darken.
However, he didn’t return to his own small courtyard, but directly headed towards the Left Martial Guard’s quarters overnight.
Yet, when he truly stepped out of the Imperial Palace for the first time, looking upon the broad streets outside, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of deep emotion.
This is my first time stepping out of the Imperial Palace since I’ve time-traveled.
What lies before me is infinite freedom.
As long as I leave now and find a place to cunningly bide my time, I’ll be able to carve out my own fate.
However, after pausing for just a moment, Lin Yi quickly let down the carriage curtain, and his indifferent voice passed through the fabric to the coachman’s ears:
"Let’s go. Aim to reach the Left Martial Guard camp before dark."
Drive!
With a crack of the coachman’s whip, the horses snorted and broke into a trot, heading into the distance.
At the same time, Lin Yi, sitting inside the carriage, began to bounce around where he sat.
Of course, this was not of his own volition -- it was because the carriage was jolting so much.
The jostling was so bad he almost threw up everything he had eaten the day before.
Despite the discomfort, he didn’t pay it any attention, instead looking forlornly towards the other side of the carriage and speaking in a somewhat helpless tone:
"I say, big sister, why aren’t you comfortably staying in the Imperial Study Room instead of running to my side?"
At that moment on the opposite side of the carriage, there was a woman dressed in a white robe with a light veil over her face, holding a Treasure Sword and resting with her eyes closed.
Yes, she was none other than the person in white who had been protecting the young Emperor in the Imperial Study Room.
What Lin Yi hadn’t expected was that the moment the carriage left the Imperial City gate, the curtain moved, and then this woman climbed in.
If not for being somewhat familiar with her, Lin Yi would definitely have drawn his weapon on the spot.
Of course, as for the reason why Lin Yi abandoned the decision to flee the Imperial Palace, he would certainly tell you that it was not because of this woman.
If you really want to know the reason, Lin Yi would also tell you that he’s a responsible good man.
Whether it’s his own Empress, his little sister, or the little Emperor he keeps in his thoughts, even the soon-to-be courted 3000 beauties of the harem, which one can be owned outside?
What are all his efforts for?
Isn’t it to wield supreme power and lie in the lap of beautiful women when drunk?
Now that the most beautiful woman is by his side, in aiding him to snatch back the great power of this world, wouldn’t he be able to reach his little goal?
Heh heh, if you must say that Lin Yi can’t defeat this woman in white, then Lin Yi won’t argue with you.
But when faced with Lin Yi’s question, the woman didn’t answer at all, not even batting her eyelids.
This caused Lin Yi to purse his lips, and he muttered to himself in his heart:
’Damn, not even giving me the time of day?
Even that little Emperor wouldn’t dare treat me this way, you know?
If it weren’t for your nice figure and pretty eyes, based on your arrogant attitude alone, I’d have every right to punish you on the spot!’
While thinking this, Lin Yi fiercely collected a bit of "interest" with his eyes on her body.
It seems that she felt Lin Yi’s aggressive gaze, for the woman in white suddenly spat out a few words:
"If you keep staring, I’ll gouge out your eyes."
’Uh...cough cough...’
The sudden voice made Lin Yi sheepishly withdraw his gaze.
You really can’t say, this woman as cold as ice actually aroused Lin Yi’s desire to conquer.
Am I not the one who can even play landlord with the Empress? Would I not be able to handle a little missy like you?
Hmph, as long as you’re not indifferent, sooner or later you’ll kneel before me and play an instrument for my amusement!
You really can’t say, just as he thought about it, Lin Yi even dared to envision this frosty beauty performing musical instruments for him in his mind.
It’s just unknown whether she would still keep such a stoic face then.
