"My brother and Manman will be getting married soon, and then it will be the Chinese New Year. Before the Chinese New Year, I won't do anything like faking my death. I can wait a little longer."
"Okay, I'm sorry to have wronged you, Xier."
Ying's father still said the same things as usual, and Ying Xixi also wanted to see what Ying's father or Ying Zhen would do.
Today is the first day that Ying Zhen returns to the palace to serve as an official after waking up.
Although he had learned from Ying Xixi that a group of officials in the court who had colluded with Li Mingzhi had been dealt with by the emperor, he also learned some other things.
But when he returned to the palace after more than a year, he still felt everything was new to him.
After the court session, Ying Zhen was stopped by Gu Wang, who asked him to go to the imperial study.
Ying Zhen went to the imperial study, which was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, bowed politely, and stood politely under the high seat.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you want me to stay here?"
Gu Wang frowned slightly, supporting his chin with his slender hand as he looked at Ying Zhen carefully.
"My dear, did you... not sleep well last night?"
Ying Zhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The emperor suddenly asked this. Could it be that he saw the difference between him and Xixi?
"Your Majesty, I didn't get much rest last night. Thank you for your concern."
"I see, no wonder I thought you looked strange this morning.
Even though you are getting married soon, you should rest well, or I will worry about you."
Gu Wang suddenly said this, and Ying Zhen was terrified.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! I will definitely have a good rest!"
"Well, you can leave now. I don't have anything to do for now."
Gu Wang waved his hand and let Ying Zhen leave.
After Ying Zhen left, Eunuch Fuquan, who was standing aside, asked Gu Wang in confusion.
"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to ask, why don't you allow Master Ying to stay a little longer?
Then His Majesty and Lord Ying can be alone together!"
Eunuch Fuquan was doubtful, but the tone of his last sentence sounded cunning.
Gu Wang glanced at him and said, "You're still standing here. How can you call yourself alone?"
Eunuch Fuquan: “…”
He is an eyesore.
"Fuquan, do you think the feelings one person has for another person can change overnight?"
Gu Wang looked at the falling snow outside the window with an inexplicable expression.
Fuquan Gong thought about it seriously, "This... shouldn't be the case. If I really feel that something has changed, it can only be caused by something else."
"But what could happen in just one night to cause such a change?"
Gu Wang thought about it, but had no clue for the time being.
But one thing he was sure of was that the feelings he had for Aiqing just now seemed to have disappeared overnight.
He is no longer happy to accept your love.
What about the previous relationship?
Could it be that they are all fake?
Or is he just such a fickle and promiscuous person? !
Gu Wang looked dazed and had some self-doubt.
On the other side, Ying Zhen returned to Ying Mansion after finishing his own affairs.
As soon as he got back, he went straight to Ying Xixi's yard.
After the brother and sister switched identities, the yard also switched.
However, Ying Zhen felt that it was too unlucky for his sister that he had been in a coma in that yard for more than a year, so he asked his sister to choose another yard to live in temporarily.
He ordered people to renovate the original courtyard.
When Ying Zhen entered the room, Ying Xixi was lying on the couch reading a storybook with Miao Manman, and the two sisters-in-law were laughing as they read.
The laughter was slightly vulgar.
Ying Zhen looked at this scene, curved her eyebrows and smiled happily.
Miao Manman first noticed Ying Zhen standing at the door, and was so scared that she quickly sat up.
"Cousin, why are you here?"
"Hmm? Brother, you're back. How was your time in the palace today?
No one has noticed your difference, right?"
Ying Xixi put down the notebook and sat up and asked.
Ying Zhen walked in and sat at the table, and the maid poured him tea.
"Today... I think no one should notice anything different from the past, but..."
Ying Zhen breathed heavily when speaking, which made Ying Xixi and Miao Manman feel a little nervous.
"But what? Brother, please speak faster."
Ying Xixi nervously picked up a piece of cake and started eating.
"But I find it a little strange that the Emperor would tell me so directly that he is worried about me."
As soon as Ying Zhen finished speaking, Ying Xixi, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help but spit it out.
“Poof! Cough cough cough…”
Miao Manman quickly patted her on the back and said, "Cousin, are you okay? Don't get excited."
Ying Zhen looked worriedly at Ying Xixi, whose face was red from coughing, "Sister, could it be that the Emperor has noticed something different? Or has your relationship with the Emperor become better over the past year or so?
In the past, the relationship between my brother and the emperor was that of a monarch and his subject, and the emperor never said anything like he was worried about me or cared about me.
But the emperor today is obviously different from before."
Ying Xixi: “….”
Miao Manman: “..........”
Although Miao Manman had told the unconscious Ying Zhen every day about what happened in the mansion, she had never told him that the emperor had a homosexual tendency and was suspected of being attracted to Ying Xixi, who was pretending to be Ying Zhen.
So Ying Zhen knew about other things that had happened over the past year, but not this one.
Ying Xixi and Miao Manman looked at each other and said, "Brother, this is a long story."
Ying Zhen turned serious. "Since it's a long story, let's cut to the chase. It seems there's something I don't know."
Ying Xixi spread her hands and said, "Alright, to put it simply, the Emperor is suspected of liking you, brother."
Ying Zhen: “???”
“Cousin, it’s not that simple, nor is it suspected. It should be said that the one the emperor likes is the cousin who is dressed as my cousin.
But now we are not sure whether the emperor likes you, cousin, or my cousin.
After all, my cousin was pretending to be my cousin to get along with the emperor."
Miao Manman's words left Ying Zhen a little confused.
"Manman, are you saying that the emperor likes Xixi?"
“No, it’s that the Emperor likes to pretend to be your cousin, which is not right, how should I put it.
It's hard to explain this matter. Maybe only when the emperor knows that you, cousin, are twins, will he know who he likes.
But this secret cannot be made known to the Emperor, otherwise it will be difficult to handle this matter."
Miao Manman shook her head in distress.
Ying Zhen: “???”
“.......”
"Brother, anyway, that's the thing. As for whether the emperor likes you or me, you can observe first.
Anyway, from now on, you are you, and I will not replace you."
