Chapter 83

When Lin Nanjie woke up after a short nap, there was a knock on the door. Li Chenghuan and his men brought a bowl of sweet and sour hawthorn soup, as well as some refreshing and delicious side dishes. Lin Nanjie felt his appetite immediately after seeing them.

"Look, is there anything you want to eat?"

Lin Nan's eyes lit up: "I want to eat them all."

【This is just perfect for your taste. 】

[I was just about to drink hawthorn soup, and the kitchen had already made it. Isn’t this too coincidental? ]

Lin Nanqi was wondering while eating hawthorn soup.

Li Chenghuan felt a sense of relief as he watched Lin Nanjie eat.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask, "Are you willing to serve as an official in the court?"

Lin Nan was stunned: "Being an official?"

Li Chengqian: "Yes, the post of Left Assistant Secretary of the Censorate is vacant. Are you interested?"

Left Assistant Secretary of the Censorate?

The spoon that Lin Nanzhen had brought to his mouth stopped.

Isn't that the duty of impeaching all officials?

In other words, catch the accomplices of the offending officials?

[The Left Assistant Censor of the Censorate was a fifth-rank official, and Bo Zhang was the Right Assistant Censor of the Censorate, so they were almost equal. But the appointment of officials in Daqi had to pass the imperial examination, which was not quite in line with the rules, right? ]

【However, it is a professional match. 】

Lin Nanjie thought about it and was actually a little moved.

[Officials in the court are more or less gossipy, and some of them form cliques secretly for personal gain. Pulling out radishes will bring out the mud, and they are always caught. ]

A smile appeared in Li Chenghuan's eyes.

He knew that Lin Nanjie would be moved.

In addition, Wang Wenhe, the boss, also has a good impression of Lin Nanjie. Although there are some obstacles to this matter, it is not impossible.

Lin Nanjie put down the spoon and pretended not to be moved at all: "But, I am a eunuch."

【Although it is fake.】

Li Chengqian spat out the tea in his mouth.

Fake???

Lin Nanjie looked at Li Chenghuan's stunned expression. It was rare to see him lose his composure like this. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped Li Chenghuan's clothes, wondering, "What's wrong?"

[Is there anything surprising about the phrase "I am a eunuch"? ]

Li Chengqian's fingers were shaking as he held the teacup.

Fake eunuch?

Fake?

Fake!!!

It’s actually fake!

Li Chengqian felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him, and his mind went blank.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Lin Nanqi asked with concern.

Li Chenghuan stared blankly at Lin Nanjie's cheek, which was so close to him, and the scenes of the two of them being together flashed through his mind.

No wonder Lin Nanjie was so hesitant when he was being beaten.

Furthermore, he transferred Lin Nanjie to the Zichen Palace to keep watch, but Lin Nanjie just wanted to run away, and even preferred to work in the Princess's Mansion rather than stay in front of Yu.

What did Lin Nanjie say at that time?

Afraid of losing control of him? Afraid of committing an offense.

He almost believed it and thought that Lin Nanjie was really obsessed with him at that time.

It was in vain that he tossed and turned every night, unable to sleep alone, and even felt that he was a pervert.

I didn't expect it was fake?

Li Chenghuan simply wanted to strip Lin Nanjie of his pants and beat him with a stick!

Seeing that Li Chenghuan didn't say anything, Lin Nanjie felt a little aggrieved: [That's not something I can control. I entered the palace at the age of three and was lucky to be able to survive. I still have to be so cautious in the palace, afraid of being discovered.]

The fire in Li Chengqian's heart was extinguished in an instant, turning into infinite pity and regret.

If you really want to find out, it's still his own fault.

Why didn't he realize it earlier and face his feelings earlier, causing Lin Nan to suffer so many twists and turns.

Lin Nanjie saw the expression on Li Chenghuan's face change constantly. First he was in disbelief, then he was extremely surprised, and even had some anger coming out. Then he suddenly looked at him with regret in his eyes. Such a handsome face was twisted into a perverted look.

Lin Nanqi silently moved to the side.

[The emperor looks like this. ]

【So perverted. 】

[How terrible.]

Li Chenghuan took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up some food for Lin Nanjie: "Eat more. These are all refreshing side dishes. I specially asked the kitchen to make them."

Lin Nanjie accepted all of them.

[If this continues, the chefs in my uncle's house will become Yu's chefs. ]

[Huh? Why is the Dog Emperor so considerate today? ]

[Now you can still tell who is the master? ]

Lin Nan stuck out his tongue: [Overstepping, overstepping.]

Li Chenghuan put down his chopsticks and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the food residue from Lin Nanjie's mouth.

Lin Nanqie dared not move, and was overwhelmed by the favor.

After serving Lin Nanjie a meal, Li Chengqian stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I will go back first."

"Close the doors and windows when you go to bed at night, and ask the servants to light more incense to repel mosquitoes."

"I...I'm leaving first."

Before Lin Nanjie could say anything, Li Chenghuan stood up and walked out. When he was about to go out, he tripped over the door threshold and almost fell.

Lin Nan stood up anxiously: "Hey, be careful..."

【Why is it so strange today?】

Before he could finish his words, Li Chenghuan had disappeared.

Lin Nanqi sat down and murmured, "Is there a ghost chasing us?"

There was no ghost chasing Li Chenghuan, but the guards guarding the gate of Li Chenghuan's yard felt like they saw a ghost. How come a shadow flashed by in a flash?

Looking again, I realized it was the emperor. Everything was fine.

Then, there was a loud laugh from the yard. The two looked at each other, a little unsure.

What is wrong with His Majesty?

Do you want to report it to Mr. Liao Baifan?

It's weird late at night.

Li Chenghuan did not leave anyone to serve in the courtyard, and the huge courtyard was empty. He paced back and forth in the open space in the middle of the courtyard, his face sometimes happy, sometimes angry, and sometimes he wanted to rush over and spank Lin Nanjie.

It was really hard to express his inner feelings, so Li Chengqian asked someone to bring several jugs of good wine and place them in the yard. He picked up a jug of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

No wonder Li Yunluan likes to drink, it really is a good thing.

The secret guards outside the courtyard looked at each other. They had never seen the emperor drink so much before. Could it be that he had encountered some troubles?

Then, they saw many empty wine bottles on the ground. Li Chenghuan found an arrow from somewhere, aimed it at the mouth of the wine bottle, and shot it with a "whoosh".

"Clang!" It fell into the wine bottle precisely.

The secret guard was stunned.

It's the middle of the night, and the emperor is in the mood to throw himself into the pot?

After Li Chengqian had vented all his energy, it was already late at night before he calmed down a little.

The secret guards at the door have been replaced.

Li Chenghuan threw the arrow aside and flew out again. The secret guards saw that he was heading towards General Hua's courtyard.

What are you doing going to General Hua's yard in the middle of the night?

***

Lin Nanjie accidentally ate a little too much at night and couldn't fall asleep while rubbing his stomach.

It was hot at night. Although my uncle was sympathetic and asked someone to put some ice in the room, which made me feel much more comfortable, I still couldn't sleep.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the bloody scene.

Lin Nanjie felt that he could still hold on for a while longer.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, and the sound of someone breaking into the window made Lin Nanjie's heart tremble.

[You are such a bold lunatic, how dare you act rashly in my uncle's house? ]

Then I saw a familiar figure in the dim moonlight.

Lin Nanqi sat up from the bed: "Emperor..."

Before he could finish his words, a cool finger pressed against his lips.

“Tsk——”

In the moonlight, Lin Nanjie saw Li Chenghuan's red face.

He was startled: [How much did you drink? ]

"I didn't drink much." Li Chenghuan lifted the quilt and went to bed.

Lin Nanqi didn't even have time to push him away before Li Chengqian carried him into his arms, including the quilt. "Don't move. Let me hold you for a while."

Lin Nanjie didn't move.

Li Chenghuan was carrying the coolness of the evening, but his breath was warm and had a strong smell of alcohol.

Lin Nanqi's nose twitched slightly as he took a sniff. It was the finest aged wine. Lin Nanqi suspected that he had emptied all the wine jars in his uncle's house.

Lin Nanjie had been working for Yu for some time and knew that Li Chengqian was not a heavy drinker. Even at a banquet, he would stop drinking when the time was right.

What happened to me today that I drank so much?

Lin Nanqi pushed him: "Your Majesty?"

Li Chenghuan buried his head in Lin Nanjie's neck, breathing evenly and deeply.

Lin Nanjie was held in Li Chenghuan's arms. He pushed Li Chenghuan but couldn't move him.

[I'd better ask someone to make me a bowl of hangover soup, otherwise I'll definitely have a headache tomorrow morning. ]

Lin Nanjie thought about it and was about to push him away and get out of bed.

As soon as he moved, he was hugged tightly by the waist.

"Don't move."

"No hangover soup."

"Stay here with me."

Lin Nanjie froze in place, and the blood in his body began to flow backwards.

[How did the dog emperor know that I wanted to make sobering soup! ]

[He can't live in my head! ]

Li Chengqian hugged her tighter and tighter.

"I just know..."

"I can hear you..."

Li Chenghuan raised his hand, placed his palm on the spot where Lin Nanjie's heart was and tapped it.

"What are you thinking about here..."

"I know... you are a fake eunuch..."

"I am very fortunate... Otherwise, even if I die as an atonement, I am afraid it will not be enough to offset my debt to the Lin family."

Lin Nanqi's brain is about to explode!!!

[Even the dog emperor knows it! ]

【He knows I'm a fake eunuch! 】

[Can you still hear what I'm thinking!!!]

Lin Nanjie felt that his CPU was about to be overloaded.

[It’s over! I curse the dog emperor in my heart every day! ]

Lin Nanqi's face turned pale. Could it be that someone had heard what he was thinking since the first day he came into this world?

All of Li Chenghuan's strange behaviors at the beginning quickly emerged in his mind.

He has seizures from time to time, like a pervert.

There is also some unusual tolerance for his behavior.

There were many other times, such as during the Spring Examination, when he actually allowed eunuchs to patrol the palace for the first time, and they even stood up for him after he caused trouble.

Given Li Chenghuan's dislike for eunuchs, how could he do such a thing?

It turned out to be because I heard what he was thinking?

Li Chenghuan burped: "You curse me in your heart every day, you dog emperor..."

Lin Nanqi's eyes darted around.

【Ahhhhhhhh! 】

【It’s over, it’s over! 】

【I'm done! 】

Li Chenghuan hugged him and patted his back gently: "I got used to it after listening to it for a while..."

"I won't feel comfortable if you don't scold me for a day..."

Lin Nanjie's crazy heartbeat suddenly stopped.

【？ ？ ？】

Lin Nanqi's eyes were dim: [...The emotional dog emperor is a masochist. ]

Li Chengqian didn't understand what this word meant. His mind was like a straight channel at this moment: "What does it mean?"

Lin Nanqi's eyes rolled: "That's a good meaning."

Li Chengqian nodded blankly: "Okay, then I am."

Lin Nanjie pursed his lips, even though he wanted to laugh.

Lin Nanjie still felt puzzled: [It’s already weird enough that I’m in a book, how can I be heard by others? 】

"...traveled through a book?" Li Chengqian raised his head, his eyes suddenly showing fear, like a child, "Can you still leave?"

Lin Nanjie told the truth: "I don't know either."

Li Chenghuan hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to rub him into his bones, and kissed him eagerly on the lips. A drunk man could hardly control the strength, and when their lips and tongues touched, Lin Nanjie only felt a slight pain in his lips, and then he was swept into a bigger wave.

“Hmm…”

Lin Nanqi let out a light cry and was instantly pulled into a vortex filled with the aroma of wine.

It was as if an irresistible electric current surged, as if winter was gone and spring was coming, the rivers were unblocked, and the water was gurgling.

Tightly fitted, airtight.

It was out of control, its ups and downs were unpredictable, like spring water rushing into a riverbed, stirring up the water plants on the bottom.

The peach blossoms could not bear the teasing and were about to fall, spilling all their red powder on the ground.

The fierce waves made the water plants weak and they could only cling to the hanging wood on the shore like a life-saving straw. However, the water was too fast to stop and when it reached the undulating part, it suddenly stopped.

Li Chengqian murmured in a low voice: "I seem to have drunk too much."

Lin Nanjie's eyes widened instantly, unable to control his inner activities.

[Why stop at this time... are you kidding me...]

Lin Nanjie's cheeks were wet with sweat. He closed his eyes slightly and decided to leave everything to fate.

[If the dog emperor left now, I would go to my uncle to complain that I climbed through the window in the middle of the night with evil intentions.]

[If you don’t leave, I will, I will…]

There was no further discussion, because Li Chenghuan had decided that he would accept whatever Hua Heng taught him.

A warm spring night, the ground is filled with fragrance.

Lin Nanjie rudely left several fresh scratches on Li Chenghuan's back.

【……】

【This job is terrible...】

When Li Chengqian heard this, he seemed to be inspired and worked even harder.

After it was over, Lin Nanjie didn't want to lift a single toe, and as he was drunk, the two of them slept with their feet touching, unable to tell who was who.

The next day, Lin Nanjie opened his eyes sleepily and received a light kiss on the forehead.

Li Chenghuan had just taken him to a bath and laid him on the bed, gently wiping his hair.

Lin Nanjie yawned and squinted his eyes.

Li Chengqian wiped his hair while regretting: "I drank too much last night..."

Last night, he was drunk and sneaked into Lin Nanjie's room, and...

Li Chengqian discovered that he actually had a beastly side.

Even he himself felt ashamed.

After hearing this, Lin Nanjie opened his eyes instantly and his vision lit up.

"Drunk? Do you remember what happened last night?"

Li Chengqian said frankly and regretfully: "I shouldn't have lost control of myself. Did I hurt you?"

Lin Nanqi turned over and sat up excitedly, then lay down again with a cry of pain: "What else? Do you remember anything else?"

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, and had a feeling that something else had happened, but he couldn't remember what it was, so he could only ask tentatively, "Are you not really a eunuch?"

Lin Nanqi let out a breath calmly, trying hard to suppress his inner drama.

"Um……"

Li Chengqian's eyes softened: "I am very happy."

Lin Nanqi glanced at him and said, "Are you glad that I'm not a real eunuch?"

Li Chengqian kissed him tenderly and said, "I'm glad you didn't get hurt."

Lin Nanjie nodded.

Li Chenghuan asked again: "Are you willing to be the queen?"

Lin Nanqi was so scared that her eyes almost popped out of her head: "Become the queen?"

Li Chenghuan nodded solemnly.

Lin Nan subconsciously avoided his gaze: "This matter is a bit hasty, can you ..."

Li Chenghuan kissed him again: "Okay."

Lin Nan was suspicious: [You agreed so quickly? ]

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "When we return to the capital, I will give the Phoenix Seal to my uncle for safekeeping."

Lin Nanjie thought: [My uncle might not agree.]
