Chapter 1665: Spying on the Secrets of Heaven and Speculating on the Holy Will
Li Lai followed the young eunuch and soon arrived outside the emperor's study.
The young eunuch told him to stand still at the door while he went in to report. After a while, he came out and said to him, "The emperor has sent for you. Go in."
"……yes."
Li Lai couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He reached out and wiped his sweaty palms on the sides of his pants, took a deep breath, and then stepped carefully into the door.
As soon as I walked in, I felt an inexplicable pressure.
When he looked up, he first saw the Imperial Concubine Si Nanyan sitting in the chair in front of him. She held the armrests with both hands and looked at him with an unfathomable smile on her face. Seeing him coming, she said, "Li Lai, the emperor is here."
Li Lai turned his head carefully.
At the other end of the spacious study, there was a spacious desk with exquisite study supplies and neatly arranged documents on it. Behind the desk, a tall figure was sitting in a chair. Although he was sitting, he felt taller than a person standing.
He only took a glance, not daring to look up, and quickly lowered his head again.
She was not even aware of the appearance of the supreme emperor. She only felt a pair of tiger-like eyes staring at her.
That kind of gaze seemed to see through a person's soul and blood.
In fact, they had met once before at Ye Zheng's door, but Li Lai did not dare to look directly at the emperor's true face and could only kneel on the ground.
Moreover, at that time, perhaps because the emperor was particularly concerned about the imperial concubine, they felt that he was not so high and mighty, nor as scary as the rumors said. Instead, he seemed more like an ordinary husband who loved his wife.
But this time, it was different from before.
The emperor's innate aura of majesty without even being angry was so oppressive that it made it difficult for people to breathe.
Li Lai's heart was beating wildly and he knelt down quickly.
"This humble commoner pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
A deep, oppressive voice came from the front.
"Your name is Li Lai."
"Yes, I am Li Lai."
"Do you admit your guilt?"
Upon hearing this, Li Lai's heart trembled.
He knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. He rested his forehead against the backs of his hands and spoke cautiously, "I...? I, what crime have I committed?"
A sneer sounded above my head.
The emperor said coldly, "Draw a picture of the hot moon and give it to the imperial concubine. Ask her to present it to me."
"yes."
“Isn’t this a sin?”
“…”
"What's the meaning of this road map you drew? What's your purpose in presenting it to me? Isn't it because you want me to immediately send troops to Thermidor to attack those sand bandits?"
Li Lai knelt on the ground and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, could it be?"
As he spoke, he tried to look up.
But before he could straighten his neck, he heard a heavy voice shout angrily: "How dare you!"
He was so scared that he immediately lowered his head again.
The Emperor said coldly, "You are trying to spy on the secrets of Heaven, guess the Emperor's intentions, and try to influence my decision."
“…”
“Isn’t this a sin?”
Li Lai never thought that he had drawn a road view map, thinking it would be a good thing. Even if he was not rewarded, at least he would get a good result. However, he did not expect that not only did he not get a good result, but he was charged with a serious crime and was in great trouble.
He was so frightened that he dared not raise his head, and kept saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
At this moment, the voice of the imperial concubine came from the side——
"emperor."
