Chapter 44 Very thin, soft, and warm
Xiao Yu is tall and has long legs. When he is angry, he takes big steps. Liu Zhiyuan follows behind him, holding up the hem of her skirt, and has to jog to keep up with him.
Sensing the footsteps behind him that were different from those of the palace servants and eunuchs, Xiao Yu turned around. Liu Zhiyuan failed to brake in time and bumped into his back.
Oh my god, Xiao Yu’s expression didn’t seem very happy. Liu Zhiyuan was afraid of death, so she quickly shifted into reverse for two seconds and applied the emergency brake when Xiao Yu stopped.
The body leaned forward due to inertia.
Xiao Yu's eyes went dark, and then he saw Liu Zhiyuan sticking out her butt and waving her hands like a bird. Three black lines slid down his forehead.
This woman must be mentally ill!
"Follow me..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Zhiyuan lost her balance and fell directly into his arms. Xiao Yu reached out and caught her, his hand just pressing on her waist.
Very thin, soft and warm.
A cool fragrance wafted towards him, inexplicably calming his irritable mood a little.
The next second, everything went dark before his eyes again, the delicate beauty in his arms disappeared, and he was walking forward.
Xiao Yu stopped and looked back. Liu Zhiyuan suddenly braked behind him, then quickly took a few steps back to keep some distance.
Liu Zhiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. He was finally safe this time.
He just stopped but lost his balance and bumped directly into Xiao Yu's chest, which scared him to death.
Looking up, meeting Xiao Yu's gloomy eyes, Liu Zhiyuan grinned ingratiatingly.
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left, his expression becoming a little gloomy.
Liu Zhiyuan looked puzzled. Why did she seem even angrier? But she didn't bump into him this time.
Two steps behind, next to Liu Dehai, he whispered, "Eunuch Liu, did you notice that the emperor's expression just now looked a bit like he was unsatisfied?"
Liu Dehai glanced at Liu Zhiyuan implicitly and said, "Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. The emperor doesn't even have any desires, so how could he be dissatisfied?"
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The Emperor simply doesn't like to smile."
"But why do I feel like he just looked at me and got even angrier? I shouldn't have offended him, right?"
Liu Dehai was also wondering about this. It was indeed strange.
Logically speaking, everyone was leaving in peace and the Empress did not do anything. But why did the Emperor's expression become even uglier after he glanced at the Empress? It was quite puzzling.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor will never be angry with you no matter who he is angry with."
"Does he do this often?"
"who?"
"Your Majesty, does he often get angry for no reason?"
The emperor has indeed been acting abnormally recently, often losing his temper for no reason, and it's almost always related to Liu Zhiyuan.
Liu Dehai wanted to defend him and leave a good impression on Liu Zhiyuan.
"No, the emperor is kind-hearted and never loses his temper."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Liu Dehai deeply and said, "Young man, are your eyes so blind that even your brain is blind too?"
You are the first person in history to say that Xiao Yu has a good temper.
Following Xiao Yu all the way back to the imperial study, Liu Zhiyuan saw the mountain of memorials and opened his mouth slightly.
Is this the emperor's workload? It's comparable to that of modern workers working like oxen and horses. If he finishes reviewing it in a day, he probably won't even have time to sleep.
Xiao Yu looked at Liu Zhiyuan coldly, "Why are you coming to the Imperial Study instead of going back to your Zining Palace?"
Liu Zhiyuan's expression froze for a moment, and he rarely showed embarrassment.
Well, where is Zining Palace...
"oh."
"Oh what? Go back to your place and don't get in my way. Also, you'd better behave yourself in the future and don't cause so much trouble."
Liu Zhiyuan was unconvinced, "It was Concubine Rong who ran to the cold palace on her own. I don't even know her, how can you say that I provoked her?"
Xiao Yu sneered, "You don't know Concubine Rong? It was Minister Chen who tortured your parents and brother in prison. How dare you say you don't hold a grudge against the Chen family?"
Liu Zhiyuan raised her head quickly, "Was it Concubine Rong's father who tortured my parents?"
Depend on!
If I had known that I would be in the cold palace, I would not have pleaded for Concubine Rong!
hateful!
Thinking of the scars on his parents and brother's bodies that he saw at the execution ground that day, Liu Zhiyuan's eyes turned red.
Her parents suffered so much, but instead of avenging them, she pleaded for the enemy's daughter. How could she be so unfilial?
I can't swallow this humiliation. I must go back and kill Concubine Rong. If all else fails, I will beat her up. But sending her to the cold palace would be too easy for her.
Xiao Yu was terrified.
After spending a long time with Liu Zhiyuan, he knew at least 70% to 80% of this woman, if not 100%. He could tell from her expression that she regretted casting the spell to reverse time and space.
Xiao Yu quickly spoke up, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine! I will definitely give you an explanation for Minister Chen's unauthorized torture of Lord Liu."
Liu Zhiyuan, who had already opened the save page and was about to reverse, looked up in surprise when he heard this. "What does the emperor intend to do with Minister Chen?"
The words "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" were on the tip of his tongue, but Xiao Yu thought of Liu Zhiyuan's magic and swallowed them back.
"This time, I was assassinated on my way to Yuzhou. After investigation by the Ministry of Punishment, it was confirmed that Minister Chen colluded with court officials. Minister Chen committed treason and attempted murder against His Majesty. His property must be confiscated and his head beheaded. If you are not angry, you can go to the prison and torture Minister Chen after he is imprisoned."
This way she will finally calm down.
Stop casting spells, life is unbearable.
Liu Zhiyuan was shocked. "That assassination attempt was carried out by Minister Chen? But Minister Chen and I have no grudges against each other. It's fine if he killed you, but why would he kill me?"
She heard it clearly at that time and knew that she was also the target of the assassin.
After finishing speaking, Liu Zhiyuan realized that he had said the wrong thing. He calmly reversed gear and pretended to be shocked. "Was that assassination done by Minister Chen? Why would he want to assassinate the emperor? How bad."
Xiao Yu, "..."
My dear, you are overacting. Your expression is so fake.
Also, could you please stop casting spells randomly? Do I look so petty? Would I punish you for such a small thing?
Well, he did lose his temper over little things in the past, but he thought he was very tolerant and kind to Liu Zhiyuan. Apart from the first time she made a scene in the imperial study and had someone drag her out, he never punished her afterwards, right?
Are you so afraid of him that he would cast a spell over the smallest thing?
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the rage boiling within him. "This is state affairs. My beloved concubine does not need to know. You only need to know that I will punish Minister Chen and avenge your father and brother."
So could you please be more obedient and stop casting spells to reverse time and space?
