"Your Majesty, why are you silent? What on earth is in this book?"
Finally, Yuzhu couldn't help it. She was the only one who knew His Majesty's secret and had a much closer relationship with His Majesty.
After hesitating for a while, she came over out of curiosity.
Snap——
However, Xiao Ling reacted quickly and closed the book in his hand quickly.
Yuzhu, who came over, suddenly felt lonely.
The book was closed, but the shame and anger on the empress's face lingered for a long time.
The reason is simple.
Because the picture album Chu Yi gave her was exactly an unspeakable reading material from the deep palace.
Not only does it come with illustrations, but it also comes with poetic explanations.
And on the page she just casually flipped through, there was a man and a woman.
The man leaned back on the couch and sighed to the sky.
The woman was wearing a small silk gown, half squatting and half kneeling, lying in front of the man.
What golden needle pierced the peach blossom pistil, not daring to speak loudly but frowning secretly...
What Linghua cool purple grapes...
ah--
My eyes!
Xiao Ling wanted to die.
She felt that she was no longer clean.
The illustration in the album was so vivid and colorful that it had an impact on her that was simply outrageous.
Fortunately, she came to her senses and saw Yuzhu was about to move forward, so she quickly closed the album.
Seeing Yuzhu suddenly become depressed and disappointed, she suppressed the collapse in her heart and held the album tightly in her hands.
If someone saw this, I would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
Looking at the eunuch who was still in panic in the hall, Xiao Ling's face darkened.
She raised her hand and threw the box in front of her at the little eunuch.
Finally, after enduring for a long time, he managed to utter a word with a red face:
"roll--"
The young eunuch asked in shock.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he realized that the emperor was furious at this moment.
Not daring to delay, he quickly apologized and left the hall.
"You all... go out, I'll take it easy alone!"
This was said to Mu Ci and Yu Zhu. They looked puzzled, but did not ask any more questions and retreated cautiously.
Xiao Ling sat back on the dragon throne.
She stared at the imperial table in front of her, which was already empty compared to the one in front of her, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.
The images in my mind are still lingering.
"hateful--"
"Chu thief! Traitor, traitor!"
"Shameless! Rogue!"
"How dare you show me these obscene things!"
"I have repeatedly shown my affection to you, hoping you wouldn't be so stubborn. I even personally arranged a marriage for you, but is this how you repay me?"
Xiao Ling was venting her anger with a shameful look on her face. It was hard to describe how miserable she felt inside at that moment.
But she still has the album in her hand. It’s not right to throw it away, nor is it right to hide it.
Feeling the thick pages of the book in his hand, Xiao Ling felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Even if she pretended to be a man, how could she save face if people knew that a minister had given her such a picture album?
The more Xiao Ling thought about it, the more embarrassed and angry she became, and she even began to doubt Chu Yi's purpose.
I was arranging a marriage for him, so what did it mean when he turned around and gave me a booklet?
Do you already know that I am actually a little empress who can be bullied, and you are using this to humiliate yourself?
Seems unlikely.
She was still confident about her secret of being a woman disguised as a man.
Could it be that... he is the one who simply thinks that my position as queen is vacant and should marry?
Xiao Ling thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't be sure.
Not long after, a eunuch suddenly came in to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty, Lord Chu requests an audience!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ling was not overly surprised, nor did he have much emotion. He just nodded slightly.
Seeing His Majesty's attitude, the eunuch understood what he meant and immediately turned around and left.
After a while, Chu Yi walked into the hall with confidence.
Seeing the emperor with a calm expression on the dragon throne, Chu Yi still bowed slightly.
"I greet your majesty."
Xiao Ling didn't say anything and didn't show any intention of asking him to stand up.
But Chu Yi obviously didn't care about this. He didn't even know how many times he had contradicted the emperor. He still knew to bow when he met him today. It was because he was in a good mood.
Without further ado, Chu Yi found a suitable stool and sat down.
Xiao Ling didn't say much, but Chu Yi was already showing an attitude of being disappointed with his friend, with a look of grief and anger on his face.
"I can't believe that with the current corruption in Da'an, Your Majesty still has the leisure to care about the family affairs of your ministers."
"Your Majesty, instead of focusing on your duties, you are busy with idle thoughts and neglecting the foundation of the country. How is your Majesty's actions different from those of Emperor Yin and Emperor Zhang?"
The two words "Yin" and "Zhang" are the posthumous titles of the supreme emperor and the late emperor, that is, Xiao Ling's grandfather and father.
With just one sentence, Chu Yi offended three emperors at once.
There is no way. If we say who Chu Yi hates the most, it is not the Emperor Chengping in front of him, but Emperor Yin and Emperor Zhang.
Emperor Yin was afraid of the Chu family's power at first, so he collected false charges and suppressed the Chu family to the point of being in a terrible state.
After Emperor Zhang came to power, he issued an edict to become the new emperor without understanding the situation clearly. He ignored his father and re-employed his uncle.
The result was that during the time when his uncle was the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he tried his best to suppress the direct lineage, completely plunging the Chu family into external and internal troubles.
Everyone is calling for his death outside, and at home, brothers are killing each other and scheming against each other.
If it weren't for Chu Yi's subsequent strong rise, the Chu family would have been unable to recover by now, and the incense of the direct lineage would have been completely destroyed.
