Chapter 2058 Cross-Time Romance 2
The emperor frowned, shook the bronze mirror hard twice, but the image remained unchanged. He could only suppress his anxiety and pinch his brow twice.
He swayed and fell back onto the dragon bed.
That night, Du Linyuan had a nightmare.
In his dream, a celestial being dressed in white, pure as snow, came to his bedside, leaned down, gently touched his lips, and said tenderly, "I've been waiting for you. I've come to marry you."
He opened his eyes happily, only to see Si Jin wearing only a bath towel.
Open your arms, grab his wrists, and forcefully...
Du Linyuan suddenly woke up with a start, almost stiffly jumping up from the bed. His vision went black, and his ears were ringing uncontrollably.
Nightmare, it was such a nightmare!
I glanced at the sky outside; it was just past the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), and I figured I wouldn't be able to fall asleep again.
Thinking about attending the morning court session, Du Linyuan put on his shoes and walked to his desk, wanting to see the memorials he had reviewed the previous day.
But at this moment, the stack of memorials that had been neatly arranged on the exquisitely textured mahogany table had disappeared, replaced by two stacks of black... clips?
Du Linyuan didn't recognize the thing, so he just called it a clip.
The emperor lowered his hand, opened a black leather folder, and stared blankly at the simple Chinese characters on it, "Party A, Party B," for a long time.
He finally realized that his memorial to the throne... was lost!
This isn't the only strange thing.
Du Linyuan discovered that ever since he saw the other world, his belongings have been frequently going missing.
For example, a teacup with crackled ice patterns mysteriously disappeared and was replaced by a strange, unbreakable cup (a plastic cup).
There was still some unfinished, black water inside, bubbling and fizzing in the candlelight.
It looks like Chinese medicine, but it tastes quite sweet.
For example, a newly drafted imperial edict, which was placed right next to the pillow, would disappear after the patient woke up, replaced by a small wooden box.
There were many envelopes piled up inside.
Du Linyuan opened them and could roughly make out that they were all love letters expressing their feelings to Si Jin. In a fit of anger, he threw them all into the charcoal fire and burned them to ashes.
The worst part is that the ink he prepared at night, which would never fade, turned into a... glowing little cube the next day.
He touched it cautiously, and it inexplicably lit up, displaying a cute, cartoon-style portrait.
The painting seems to depict... also an emperor.
Wearing a dragon robe, with wide, innocent eyes, he looked rather silly. His eyes resembled his, his nose resembled his, his mouth resembled his, and his ears seemed to resemble his too...
wrong!
Du Linyuan finally realized what was happening. Comparing the clothes of the little man in the chibi portrait, he was certain that this was him!
Immediately afterwards, the alarm rang at 7:30, and it was Si Jin's own voice: "Get up, time to play with little A Yuan, time to go antique hunting, time to go to work."
"..."
Taking a few deep breaths, Du Linyuan lifted the inkstone and smacked it—
Smash that "little square" to pieces.
Hmph, a true immortal would never say that about him; it must be some demon deliberately causing trouble!
He won't fall for it.
The series of unexpected events caused the court officials to worry about His Majesty's mental state, and even the Empress Dowager suggested finding a maid to enlighten him.
Having something to worry about might make things much better.
So, they secretly sent someone to burn aphrodisiac incense in Du Linyuan's palace and found a fairly pretty palace maid, instructing her to sneak in at night.
The palace maid was timid and knew that His Majesty had no interest in her, so she dared not easily climb into the emperor's bed.
Before the medicine took effect, he ran off quickly.
The incense from the incense burner continued to spread, but Du Linyuan was unaware that his entire sleeping quarters were being affected; half of the hall was quietly dissipating.
Connected to it is the white wall of that other world.
A wave of heat lingered in his chest, and Du Linyuan breathed through his lips, instinctively opening his arms as if to hug something that could cool him down.
And then, I actually got to hug him.
