Chapter 34: Seeking a child! The emperor wants her to enter the palace
Haha, how does he look like a majestic emperor?
What's the difference between him and those despicable perverts who have become mentally twisted and unable to be human?
When Xie Junlin felt disgusted with himself, Xiao Lingzhao followed in behind Chen Hai.
Xiao Lingzhao saw the irritability and impatience between Xie Junlin's brows at a glance.
He thought to himself, the emperor was indeed hurt by those ministers. He hasn't recovered after so long. How pitiful.
Xiao Lingzhao was just about to kneel down to pay his respects when Xie Junlin spoke immediately.
"No need for formalities. Ling Zhao has just recovered from a serious illness, so there is no need for formalities."
Xie Junlin raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Lingzhao's neck secretly.
He was clearly feeling self-loathing just a second ago, but at this moment, he couldn't control his eyes and looked there.
Moreover, he pointed at the scarf and pretended to joke casually, "Is it very cold outside today? Why is Ling Zhao wearing a scarf?"
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao looked at Xie Junlin silently.
As expected, he guessed it right.
He told Yuan Wei that his colleagues would definitely not take off his scarf, but the emperor always loved to tease him, and he might take off his scarf to see what was going on.
As expected...
Xiao Lingzhao said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, I have been suffering from a serious illness and I feel a little chilly. When I go out, I feel a chill on my neck, so I put on a scarf."
Xie Junlin stroked the chess piece and smiled softly, "Really? Are you really afraid of the cold?"
He pointed at Xiao Lingzhao's hands and feet and said, "That's really strange. I've never seen anyone with only a chill in the neck, but no problem at all in the body, hands and feet. You said your neck was chilly, so why didn't you hold a hot water bottle in your hand, and why didn't you wear a pair of sheepskin boots on your feet?"
Xiao Lingzhao choked when he heard the words.
Xie Junlin curled his lips slightly, "I see, Ling Zhao, you are not afraid of the cold, you are trying to cover up something, you want to hide something on your neck, right?"
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao lowered his eyes and dared not argue.
He is not a good liar. In the past, even if the emperor knew he was hiding something, he would not get to the bottom of it. But why is he like this today...
Could it be that the Emperor was in a bad mood today and was deliberately picking on him to vent his anger?
Xie Junlin did not stop there. He said slowly, "Come, take off your scarf and let me see what good things are hidden under your scarf."
Xiao Lingzhao looked up at Xie Junlin silently.
He said, "Your Majesty, can I not take it off?"
Xie Junlin glared at him, "The more difficult it is for you to resist, the more curious I become."
Xiao Lingzhao sighed.
Since the emperor insisted on seeing it, there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, there are only the Emperor and Eunuch Chen here, and Yuan Wei may not be able to meet these two people again in the future, so she will just wait and see.
You can't keep disobeying the emperor's wishes for such a small matter.
Xiao Lingzhao reached out and took off his scarf.
The next moment, the bite marks and bruises on the left side of his neck appeared in Xie Junlin's eyes.
After Xie Junlin was stunned for a moment, his black eyes slowly fixed on the bite mark.
Bite very hard.
The wounds were bleeding and bruised.
Presumably, the person who bit Ling Zhao must have been bullied by Ling Zhao to the point of crying. He felt very uncomfortable and wanted to push Ling Zhao away, but his body was too soft to push him away, so he could only bite Ling Zhao fiercely to vent his anger...
Ling Zhao was able to bully people like this. He, an emperor who was already 36 years old and lazy in martial arts training, was probably far inferior to Ling Zhao...
Xie Junlin lowered his eyes.
He is really crazy. Why would he compete with Ling Zhao for no reason? Is he really going to snatch Ling Zhao's wife?
Xie Junlin didn't dare to let his imagination run wild any further.
It was offensive enough to dream last night that the girl was taken into the palace by him. Now that I think about it more deeply, it seems even more disgusting.
If he thinks too much and has some embarrassing dreams tonight, then he... is really not a human being.
Xie Junlin tried not to think about the obscene scene, nor to look at the glaring bite marks. He said to Xiao Lingzhao, "Put on the scarf."
Xiao Lingzhao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put his scarf back on.
Xie Junlin teased him nonchalantly, "Young man, you should be more restrained and not make too much noise. It can hurt your health."
Xiao Lingzhao didn't expect the emperor to say such words to him.
He blushed, then lowered his head and whispered, "I have recovered from my illness. I am still physically fit."
Hearing this, Xie Junlin, who was fifteen years older and whose physical strength was not very good, silently clenched the chess piece in his hand.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Lingzhao, and said slowly, "You can't just think about yourself, you have to take care of the girl..."
Xiao Lingzhao blushed and said, "Your Majesty is right. I am shy. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Looking at this innocent boy, Xie Junlin felt depressed again.
He thought to himself, you said you are thin-skinned, does that mean that I, who have been teasing you all the time, have become thick-skinned?
Yes, I am indeed thick-skinned, otherwise why would I interfere with you and prevent you from being close to your wife just because I dreamed that your wife could give birth to my child?
It's really boring for me to do this. What's the point of obstructing you here? Do you think that if you bully her less a few times, you will let me go?
Whether you do more or less has nothing to do with me.
You two are a legitimate couple.
Xie Junlin rubbed his eyebrows and tried to calm himself down.
He raised his eyes and told Xiao Lingzhao, "Alright, go back now. After you became ill a year ago, you handed over the affairs in your hands to several deputies under your command. Now that you have recovered, you must start to take back the power as soon as possible. They are your confidants, but not my confidants. You are the cavalry general that I rely on the most."
Xiao Lingzhao bowed and saluted, "Yes, I will definitely take back the power as soon as possible and not let the emperor worry."
Xie Junlin hummed, "Go ahead."
Xiao Lingzhao bowed and knelt, then stood up and left.
As soon as he walked out of the hall and came to the bottom of the stairs, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
His power began to become violent again!
Oops.
It still takes half an hour to get back to the General's Mansion from here, and he can't guarantee that he can get back home before losing his mind!
No, he couldn't just go back like this.
For a madman like him who could have an attack at any time, it would be irresponsible to go out on the street without any preparation.
Xiao Lingzhao immediately turned around and returned to the hall.
He came back and left, which surprised Xie Junlin. "What else?"
Xiao Lingzhao knelt on one knee and saluted, his face solemn, "Your Majesty, I have a feeling that the power in my body is not under my control. I am afraid that I will fall ill and injure people on the street before I return to the general's mansion!"
Xie Junlin straightened his spine suddenly, his expression became serious, "Aren't you already well?"
Xiao Lingzhao pinched his palms, "Yes, seeing Yuan Wei cured my illness. If I leave Yuan Wei for too long, it will relapse again. Today, I thought I would go back home immediately after paying my respects to the emperor in the palace, but I waited outside your palace for half an hour longer. My estimate was wrong..."
Xie Junlin was stunned when he heard this.
Do I have to see Miss Yuan Wei before I can get better?
A gleam of light flashed across his dark eyes. Ling Zhao had never been ill earlier or later, but at this very moment...
Could he think that this was God's gift to him?
After a moment of mental struggle, Xie Junlin made a decision.
He threw away the chess piece in his hand, immediately stood up and shouted, "Come here! Hurry to the Xiao family and bring Madam Xiao to the palace! There can't be any delay!"
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao looked up at Xie Junlin in confusion.
Take Yuan Wei into the palace?
That's not what he meant!
He said quickly, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to send a few more guards to leave the palace with me. If I get sick on the way, they can knock me out and take me back to the general's mansion."
Xie Junlin looked at Xiao Lingzhao.
Of course he knew Xiao Lingzhao's original intention, but he also wanted to meet Miss Yuan Wei, who might be able to give birth to a child for him.
Deep down, he didn't want to be a foolish emperor. It was Ling Zhao who bumped into him today. It was Ling Zhao who gave him the opportunity to invite Miss Yuan Wei into the palace in a fair and open manner, wasn't it?
