Chapter 33 The Emperor Looks at Their Kiss Marks
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xiao Lingzhao with complicated eyes, "You, try not to take off your scarf. I don't want anyone to see such marks."
Xiao Lingzhao just thought his wife was shy.
He nodded with a smile, "Okay, I will protect Yuan Wei and my little secret. Then, I'm leaving?"
Shen Yuanwei said, "I'll take you out."
Xiao Lingzhao held her shoulders and said, "No need. You are feeling uncomfortable. Don't move around. Lie down and have a good rest. I will be back soon."
He looked down at himself and whispered, "I don't know how long I can stay awake today after spending the night with you last night. I'm afraid that if I don't come back early, the power in my body will get out of control. If I go crazy in the palace and disturb the emperor, it will be troublesome."
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "Yes, you should come back early and stay at home. We need to first figure out how long a night of hugging can keep you awake. That way you will know how long you can stay away from me at most, and then we can arrange your daily schedule in the future."
Xiao Lingzhao thought so too.
He hugged Shen Yuanwei again, letting his wife give him the strength to wake up, then turned and left.
After he walked away, Shen Yuanwei sat on the small couch, hugging a pile of gold ingots and looking melancholy.
She murmured to herself.
"The more I get to know Xiao Lingzhao, the better I think he is..."
"He is indifferent to women outside, but so considerate, caring, respectful and understanding to his wife at home. He has a good-looking face, a good family background and strong abilities. Alas, the more I like him, the more I don't want to hurt his feelings. I don't want him to watch me get involved with the monarch he swore allegiance to..."
"well."
…
The Imperial Palace.
Xiao Lingzhao walked inside the palace wall. All the officials, guards and palace servants who passed by him widened their eyes in shock.
They all knew General Xiao, the god of war of the Great Yong Dynasty. Naturally, they also knew that General Xiao had contracted a strange disease and often went crazy, hurting others indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend and foe.
They were very curious, why did General Xiao suddenly come to the palace today?
Besides, the weather in October is not very cold, so why is General Xiao wearing a scarf?
Everyone was surprised and puzzled, and wanted to go up to General Xiao to chat and greet him.
But when they thought that this general might even beat his own father when he went mad, everyone stopped moving forward.
What if General Xiao suddenly fell ill just as they approached? Wouldn’t they be beaten to death and have no way to seek justice?
Knowing that the other person is crazy but still moving forward, everyone would say that they are looking for death, right?
As a result, Xiao Lingzhao was stared at by people all the way, but no one dared to talk to him.
Some timid ones would even hide under the wall as soon as they saw him, and walk close to the wall, for fear that they would be beaten to death if they got too close to him.
Xiao Lingzhao has never been the type to like chatting with others. No one paid attention to him, and he didn't ask anyone. He walked straight to the Emperor's Tai Chi Hall.
When Xiao Lingzhao arrived at the gate of Taiji Hall, the eunuch Chen Hai was guarding the door.
He glanced at the closed door and asked Chen Hai, "Eunuch Chen, why aren't you serving the emperor? But is there any minister in the inner hall discussing important matters with the emperor?"
Chen Hai shook his head.
He whispered, "The emperor is the only one in the palace, but he is in a bad mood and wants to be alone. Even the old servant was driven out."
He reminded Xiao Lingzhao, "General, you'd better not go to the emperor now to provoke bad luck. You can go in later."
Xiao Lingzhao glanced at the tightly closed palace door.
Even Eunuch Chen was driven out, so it was indeed not appropriate for him to go in at this moment.
Alas, the emperor who was in his thirties and still unable to give birth to a child had his scar stabbed in front of so many people. How could he not feel sad?
The Emperor is kind-hearted. He doesn't want to vent his anger on the people around him, so he drove everyone out and adjusted himself in the hall. If he is ignorant and insists on barging in, he will become the Emperor's punching bag.
So, Xiao Lingzhao stood at the gate of Taiji Hall, looking at the sky with Chen Hai, waiting for the emperor to adjust his mood and summon them to an audience.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Two quarters of an hour passed.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Xiao Lingzhao looked at the sun.
It took him half an hour to get from the General's Mansion to the palace gate and then from the palace gate to this palace. He waited for another half an hour after he arrived, and it would take another half an hour to go back...
He didn't know how long his body could hold out.
He was afraid that if he had to wait any longer, the power in his body would gradually get out of control. He was afraid that he would fall ill on the street before he could get back to the general's mansion.
If he hurts innocent passers-by and causes death or injury, then he is guilty.
"Eunuch Chen, I won't wait any longer. Please go and inform them."
Chen Hai was a little surprised.
The general is not such an impatient person, how come...
Does he want to go back home to see his wife earlier?
Yes, what's the fun in standing here with a eunuch like him? It's more fun to be with his own wife.
Chen Hai responded with a smile, turned around, carefully pushed open the door of the hall, and walked into the hall with gritted teeth.
Xie Junlin was sitting by the window, playing chess with himself.
Hearing about Chen Hai's recent movements, he did not even raise his head, his expression was indifferent, "Didn't I say I wanted to be quiet?"
Chen Hai said quickly, "Your Majesty, it's the General of the Cavalry who has arrived. He has been waiting outside the door for half an hour. I'm afraid he has something urgent to do, so he asked this old servant to come in and inform him."
When Xie Junlin heard that it was Xiao Lingzhao who came, he suddenly looked up at Chen Hai.
After a moment of joy, his eyes became complicated.
If in the past, his brave and loyal Ding Guozhu had come, he would have summoned him immediately, but today...
He found it a little difficult to face Xiao Lingzhao.
Xiao Lingzhao got married yesterday, and he dreamed last night that he had snatched Xiao Lingzhao's wife into the palace and had a little prince. He even threatened the poor woman with Xiao Lingzhao's life to make her submit...
Although Ling Zhao didn't know that he had such a despicable dream, his own conscience knew that he really couldn't face Ling Zhao calmly.
After holding the black chess piece in silence for a while, Xie Junlin sighed and whispered to Chen Hai, "Go tell him that I'm in a bad mood right now and don't want to see anyone."
Chen Hai looked up at Xie Junlin.
He said carefully, "So, should we let General Xiao continue to wait outside, or should we let him go back home today? This old servant saw that the general seemed to be in a hurry to go back. He is newly married, so I'm afraid he is in a hurry to go back to accompany his wife..."
At this point, Chen Hai smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't see it. It's only October, and the general is wearing a scarf. He doesn't feel hot at all. It's obvious that he is trying to cover up something. In my opinion, the couple is in a good relationship, and they may have left some marks..."
Xie Junlin's pupils suddenly contracted.
That girl left a mark on Ling Zhao’s neck?
What kind of imprint?
Xie Junlin clenched his fingers little by little, and suddenly wanted to see Xiao Lingzhao.
He really wanted to know what kind of mark such a gentle and well-behaved girl could leave on Xiao Lingzhao?
How much did the young couple have last night...
Xie Junlin's eyelashes trembled, and he told Chen Hai, "Let Ling Zhao in."
Chen Hai was a little surprised, wondering why the emperor suddenly changed his mind.
Chen Hai turned and left with a puzzled look on his face. Xie Junlin stared at Chen Hai's back. He was silent for two breaths, then suddenly frowned and tightly grasped the chess piece in his palm.
He is so dirty!
He felt like a pervert who wanted to peek into other people's private affairs at this moment!
He obviously felt guilty and didn't want to see Ling Zhao, but when he heard that the girl had left a mark on Ling Zhao's neck, he immediately changed his mind and had to call Ling Zhao in to spy on him...
