Ying Xixi wanted to find out what Gu Wang's purpose was in running to her room late at night, so she asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty, last night I opened my eyes in a trance and seemed to see Your Majesty coming to my room."
Ying Xixi said with a smile, as if she was joking.
The eunuch standing by heard this and wondered what he was thinking of. He looked between Ying Xixi and Gu Wang in surprise and doubt.
The emperor has been going out for a while these past few nights.
He was out for most of the night and was obviously in a very happy mood when he came back.
Could it be that the emperor went to see Prime Minister Ying in the middle of the night?
Could it be that the Emperor corresponds to the Prime Minister...
The eunuch's eyes widened considerably.
"Really? I went to bed early last night. Maybe you were dreaming.
Since you can even dream about me, why don’t you stay here with me?
Or, do you want to go back home to spend time with your fiancée?"
When the word "fiancée" was mentioned, Gu Wang's expression was obviously not as good as before.
A cold air emanated from his whole body.
The eunuch was heartbroken.
Yes, Prime Minister Ying has a fiancée.
But the emperor was obviously interested in the prime minister.
If the world knew that the current emperor actually had a homosexual tendency and even fell in love with a minister who already had a fiancée,
That would simply make you be laughed at by the whole world!
Unfortunately, he was just a humble eunuch and didn't have the brains to help the emperor think about what to do about this matter.
It would be great if Prime Minister Ying was also interested in the Emperor.
But seeing that Prime Minister Ying is so honest, the emperor probably has no hope.
Will the emperor find a way to bring Prime Minister Ying into the palace?
The eunuch's thoughts were scattered, and he forgot to conceal his gaze towards Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi: “???”
"Father-in-law? What's wrong?"
The eunuch came to his senses and was so frightened that he apologized quickly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Excellency, please forgive me. I was lost in thought just now."
"Fuquan, you've been acting strangely lately. Well, I'll give you two days off. Go back and rest."
Gu Wang said smoothly.
Fuquan was stunned and frightened, and fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please don't chase me away!"
"I'm not driving you away. I'm just letting you take a rest. You can come back to serve me in two days.
As for these two days..."
Gu Wang's gaze fell on Ying Xixi's face.
Ying Xixi: “???”
I have a bad feeling.
"How about you, Ying Aiqing, come and take care of me? Don't worry, Ying Aiqing, you just need to help me with things like grinding ink."
Ying Xixi glanced at Eunuch Fuquan and said, "Your Majesty, there should be quite a lot of young eunuchs in the palace. They can serve you better than I can.
Moreover, if I only need to grind ink for Your Majesty, I won’t be able to take care of other aspects of Your Majesty. It would be better to let other eunuchs do it…”
"You are right, my dear. If that is the case, please stay in the palace for the next two days. This way you can take care of me in other aspects."
Gu Wang said this and smiled contentedly.
Ying Xixi: “???”
She dug a hole for herself, didn't she?
"Your Majesty, this..."
"So? My dear, you don't want to? Or, are you worried about your fiancée and don't want to stay in the palace for a few days?"
Gu Wang talked about Ying Xixi's fiancée all the time.
Eunuch Fuquan said he could already smell the strong smell of vinegar!
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. That is not what I meant. I am just worried that I cannot take good care of Your Majesty and that it will affect Your Majesty's health."
Ying Xixi tried hard to refuse.
Not to mention staying in the palace for two days, she is now terrified every time she comes to the palace to attend court, for fear that her gender will be discovered by accident.
What if I were to live in the palace and be discovered by chance?
Gu Wang hasn't yet reached the point where he loves her so wholeheartedly that he can ignore her gender.
If it is discovered, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!
She didn't dare to try it so boldly for the time being.
But Ying Xixi's refusal was ineffective. Since Gu Wang had given the emperor's order, she had no choice but to do as he ordered.
Ying Xixi left under the pretext of going back home to get some clothes for her short stay of two days.
As soon as she left, Eunuch Fuquan stood aside with a conflicted look on his face, stealing glances at Gu Wang from time to time.
"Fuquan, just say whatever you want to say. You've been acting very strangely lately.
Could it be that you have done something to offend me?"
Gu Wang put down the memorial and looked at Fuquan seriously.
Eunuch Fuquan immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this is unjust! My loyalty to you is witnessed by heaven and earth, and can be testified by the sun and the moon!"
"So what's been going on with you lately?"
Eunuch Fuquan stood up, clutching his collar with both hands, and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, if I tell you, will you order me to be beaten with a stick?"
Gu Wang was almost laughing out of anger, "It seems that what you are going to say is also very extraordinary.
Tell me now, and I'll see if I should give you a spanking."
Eunuch Fuquan said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, then I will tell you.
You, you kept saying you were going out the night before, did you go to Lord Ying's house?
I dare to speculate, Your Majesty, are you, are you attracted to Master Ying?"
Gu Wang was startled and frowned.
Eunuch Fuquan, who was paying attention to Gu Wang's expression, was so scared that he almost kowtowed.
"You saw that? Is it that obvious?"
Gu Wang's words confused Eunuch Fuquan.
Your Majesty, do you admit it?
"Your Majesty, it's quite obvious. After all, you are always serious when facing other adults.
Only when facing Lord Ying, Your Majesty smiled many times and became obviously gentler.
Besides, I know that Your Majesty does not like women, so naturally..." then you like men.
Eunuch Fuquan spoke honestly.
Gu Wang pursed his lips and said, "You have seen it all, I wonder if Ying Aiqing has seen it too."
"Your Majesty, Lord Ying must have noticed this too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried so hard to reject Your Majesty's proposal to stay in the palace for a few days."
Eunuch Fuquan continued to speak the truth.
His honest words made Gu Wang's heart tighten.
"Is that really the case? Then, my dear Lord Ying... you are keeping your distance from me...
Yes, he already has a fiancée, which means he's definitely not a homosexual...
Fuquan, tell me, how can I make Ying Aiqing stay by my side?
Eunuch Fuquan's eyelids twitched, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but Your Majesty cannot use force in this matter.
Otherwise, it would only offend Lord Ying, and Lord Ying already has a fiancée. For the sake of your Majesty's reputation.
You can't take it by force!
The only way is to make Mr. Ying develop feelings for you as well!
In this way, once you two are in love with each other, Master Ying will naturally be willing to stay with you!"
As for other problems, the emperor will definitely find a way to solve them when the time comes!
