From the moment he failed to find Xi Xizhi, Lin En knew that his life was probably in danger.
Since being assigned to Panlong Palace, Lynn has not had a single day of comfort. Although his status is higher than before, it was earned with his life. Whenever he thinks of the saying "serving a king is like serving a tiger," Lynn can't help but sigh deeply.
So many years have passed, and I never thought this day would finally come.
Xi Xizhi couldn't bear to see Lin En so terrified, so she ran away from An Honghan and helped Lin En up.
“Uncle Steward, don’t be afraid. I’ve already told An Honghan. He won’t kill you. You’re such a coward.” After a pause, Xi Xizhi leaned close to Lin En’s ear and whispered, “Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll protect you. As long as I’m here, An Honghan will never do anything to you.”
Lynn was not particularly moved, but when she met An Honghan's gaze, she still trembled with fear.
An Honghan saw that Lin En was trembling uncontrollably, but he did not make things difficult for him.
"Let this matter rest, get up."
"Thank you so much for sparing my life, Your Majesty." Lynn wiped away his tears with gratitude.
I swear, from now on I will treat Miss Xi like my own daughter!
After spending the afternoon in Guanyun Pavilion, the two returned to Panlong Hall and first took a bath before slowly starting their dinner.
Xi Xizhi, who had spent the afternoon admiring handsome men, was in a good mood. On the table, her silver chopsticks moved swiftly, while under the table, her two short, chubby legs swayed happily.
An Honghan couldn't bear to see her so happy. His cold eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was neither warm nor cold, "Is Duan Yufei that handsome?"
Xi Xizhi was in a great mood and blurted out without thinking, "Of course it looks good!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I looked up and saw someone's cold face.
Oooh.
the fat is in the fire.
Could it be that An Honghan is jealous and insecure?
To quickly make up for it, Xi Xizhi immediately added a piece of fish and put it into An Honghan's bowl.
"Although Duan Yufei is handsome, he is too refined. As a man, you look more domineering and handsome."
Xi Xizhi's phone call finally pulled her back from the brink of danger.
An Honghan's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Fine, I'll let you off this time."
Just as he was about to end the topic, he suddenly changed the subject again.
"You really wouldn't be interested in Duan Yufei just because he's handsome?"
Warning bells rang in Xi Xizhi's mind. Knowing that the emperor was petty and narrow-minded, she feared that if she answered incorrectly, she would have no good days ahead!
"How could that be! I just have eyes that appreciate beauty! Just like I absolutely adore your handsome face! I have absolutely no ulterior motives!"
An Honghan was pleased with the first half of the sentence, but he felt that the meaning behind the second half was somewhat unpleasant.
As for why he was displeased, An Honghan couldn't find the reason.
A sordid thought? What kind of thought exactly?
Did he want Xi Xizhi to have those filthy thoughts about him, or not?
After thinking for a few seconds, An Honghan was too lazy to think anymore and said coldly, "Remember what you said."
Xi Xizhi immediately assured him, "Of course!"
Although cultivators are not required to sever all emotions and desires, getting too entangled with mortals will certainly be detrimental to their cultivation.
Xi Xizhi was not one to dig his own grave and bury himself in a pit.
People naturally like beautiful and handsome things, and she was no exception.
Afterwards, the two calmly finished their dinner and then lay peacefully on the dragon bed, ending this wonderful yet short day.
The next morning, as soon as he got out of bed, before he was even dressed or had his hair tied up, An Honghan grabbed the child again and said seriously, "From now on, don't ask about anything related to Duan Yufei. Since you have no interest in him, then stay obediently by my side. Do you understand?"
Xi Xizhi was still in a daze and hadn't reacted yet when she was startled by An Honghan's words.
It turns out that the emperor still harbors resentment over this matter!
He genuinely admired Duan Yufei; after all, his face was just too handsome!
An Honghan's gaze remained fixed on the silent child. He didn't care whether the child held him in his heart or whether the child would leave due to other temptations in the future. But once something was his, it was something that he had grasped in his palm, and it was destined to never leave him for the rest of its life.
Xi Xizhi dared not doubt the truth of these words. After seeing An Honghan's icy and piercing eyes, Xi Xizhi lost all her arrogance!
As expected, I am still a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. Especially when someone gets angry, even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to argue back.
"I'll just see him less often in the future." Fearing that she might really provoke An Honghan's anger, Xi Xizhi was very sensible and wise.
This incident at least shows that everything concerning Duan Yufei is a forbidden zone in front of An Honghan, and he cannot step into it.
But is the truth really the same as what Xi Xizhi, with her thick skin, came up with?
The real forbidden zone is not Duan Yufei, but herself.
An Honghan was never interested in anything except a certain mink.
There are some people who don't care much about anything, but once they encounter something they truly care about, they will fight to the death for it.
An Honghan belongs to this type of person.
"Go out for breakfast." The words remained cold and impersonal.
Before this, Xi Xizhi wanted to argue, saying she didn't want to eat and wanted to sleep in. But when she met An Honghan's cold eyes, she ultimately succumbed to his intimidating power.
Slowly crawling out of the quilt, she obediently followed behind An Honghan and sat down at the table.
People in a fit of rage are not to be trifled with!
A bowl of steaming hot sweet porridge finally eased Xi Xizhi's speechlessness and unease.
A young eunuch entered from outside the palace. Seeing that His Majesty was having a meal, he was unsure whether to disturb him. Upon seeing Chief Eunuch Lin standing nearby, he immediately winked at him.
Lynn quickly noticed the eunuch's presence, walked over, and whispered, "What is it?"
"Chief Eunuch Lin, this is a letter from outside the palace." The young eunuch took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Lin En.
This eunuch usually handled miscellaneous tasks in the palace, such as delivering messages. When he saw the eunuch take out a letter, Lynn was already used to it and casually asked, "Who handed this over?"
Lynn read the letter several times.
"This servant...this servant doesn't know either." The letter had been in his room this morning, and it only stated that it was to be delivered to His Majesty.
But His Majesty is a man who doesn't know who wrote the letter, and the little eunuch has no idea who it is either, so he dares not touch His Majesty at will.
Seeing that His Majesty had almost finished eating, Lynn nodded to the little eunuch and sent him away.
