"I met General Fu on the road. I wanted to see Her Majesty the Empress, while General Fu seemed to be here to see the Emperor."

The imperial concubine swayed, her dark-colored, floral-patterned, cloud-patterned dress a gift from the emperor when they first met.

She still remembers it vividly: although the emperor was destined to have more and more women around him, she was still unhappy. The empress monopolized the emperor's attention!

Ning Yinlian had never felt so humiliated before. Only this time...

"Oh, really? The Empress and the General are so kind. Please sit down. I've prepared some soup for Her Majesty the Empress."

Lin Xiao, with a serious expression, took the food from Qiu Ye's hands and blew on it to cool it down. He was about to feed her himself when a pair of skillful hands stopped him.

"Your Majesty, I will do it myself. You are working hard day and night and your health is not good. You are already very tired. I can do this myself."

He Yunshang glanced at Lin Xiao strangely, her cheeks slightly flushed with surprise. She hadn't expected this at all.

As the ruler of the world and the king of a country, he actually possessed a woman to serve her. This is something that all the women in the Central Plains would envy!

As I thought about it, I suddenly felt great and drank it down in one gulp.

"His Majesty is so good to the Empress; even I'm a little jealous."

Ning Yinlian feigned jealousy, tilting her head as if waiting for the Emperor to coax her.

"Consort Ning, you're mistaken. Are you implying that I'm being biased?"

Fu Lingtian frowned, suddenly finding these women quite irritating, especially the Empress's slightly protruding area.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. Would you mind if we spoke in private for a moment?"

Lin Xiao found it strange that Fu Lingtian seemed to want to speak but didn't dare to. Wasn't this guy avoiding him all along?

How come they're actually coming to our door now? Interesting.

"Alright, Your Majesty, you may rest here for now. Consort Ning, if you are tired, you may return. Your Majesty has people here to help, so it will be fine."

Lin Xiao spoke as he walked, and when he reached the door, he pushed it open and spoke softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After leaving Changchun Palace, the two walked one after the other, their destination the Imperial Study. Although the original owner of this body had started the whole thing.

However, he somewhat disliked Fu Lingtian's unpredictable moods. But the original owner of this body adored him—though he wasn't him!

So don't think you can control him or anything; you can only maintain a neutral relationship.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, one finds that because Fu Lingtian has rendered meritorious service to the country, everyone in the palace, from top to bottom, is eager to curry favor with him.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives.

"Manager Li, it's been a long time."

Steward Li was a little surprised and bowed, saying, "So it's General Fu Lingtian. Are you here to see the Emperor?"

"His Majesty is behind us. I'll have a talk with him here. You can let them go down first."

"This servant takes his leave."

Lin Xiao deliberately followed in later, wanting to see what this bastard male lead was up to. If he was just trying to brainwash him, there was no need to do it!

"ah!"

"Who is it? Let me go!"

The boy in the dragon robe exclaimed in surprise, only to be pulled back onto the bed by someone behind him.

When it came into view, it turned out to be the male lead whom she had just met!

"What do you want to do? Get off me, you pervert! Didn't you say you didn't like me? What do you mean now?!"
