Chapter 06
Being stared at by murderous eyes, even Xie Ling, who was slow-witted, noticed it. He stood up quietly and awkwardly, no longer daring to be lazy.
Help! How on earth are the eunuchs around me holding on? They have been standing for such a long time without changing their posture. Don’t their hands feel tired?
The lazy and ignorant time traveler held his breath and concentrated, and could only try to raise up the "Spring and Autumn Annals" with trembling hands.
Xiao Huan was choked by Xie Ling's useless appearance: ...
How could he be so useless after just standing for half an hour? Didn't he see that the eunuchs next to him were much more stable than him? The anger that had risen from the sudden jam of the plot could no longer be vented towards Xie Ling, who was shaking like a sieve.
Xiao Huan swallowed his breath in frustration and said expressionlessly: "Back off."
As soon as the words were spoken in the hall, Wang Bao carefully lowered his head and took away the hand that was supporting Master Xie.
In an instant, Xie Ling freed his hands and relaxed. If the emperor opposite him hadn't been there, he would have immediately reached out and rubbed his arms.
Oh my god, I finally finished watching it, but I was so tired from lifting it.
He glanced cautiously at the eunuch chief beside him: "Withdraw" means they can leave, right?
Xiao Huan closed his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Because His Majesty hadn't given the order, no one knew what to do with Master Xie, and after leaving the back hall together, they could only allow Xie Ling to mingle with them.
As soon as he walked out of the inner hall and out of sight of His Majesty, Xie Ling rubbed his wrist impatiently, and his whole body looked like a salted fish that was about to collapse.
Wang Bao was worried that he might get into trouble unexpectedly: ...
"Mr. Xie, would you like to take a break?"
Seeing that His Majesty seemed to have some interest in Master Xie, Wang Bao did not dare to let anything happen to Master Xie.
Xie Ling was really tired. How could a otaku like him have ever experienced this? He nodded immediately after hearing Wang Bao's words.
"Then I'll trouble you, Manager Wang."
Wang Bao smiled slightly: "You're welcome."
"Thank you, Master. Have a good rest. You may have to accompany me in the afternoon."
More in the afternoon?
Xie Ling was dizzy and felt completely hopeless, but he could only force a smile towards Wang Bao.
"That would be great."
How could the resting place of the palace servants be comparable to that of the emperor? Xie Ling watched Emperor Wu, who had just finished reading the "Spring and Autumn Annals", lying on his dragon couch which looked gorgeous and comfortable at first glance.
He was assigned a small soft couch, but it didn't matter, it was much better than the chair he had been sleeping on for the past few days.
On the third day of the journey, I moved from a cold pear blossom chair to a couch.
"System, I have improved!"
The blind system:...
"You might be knocked back into your chair soon."
Xie Ling was struck by surprise, but after thinking carefully, he had to admit: "You are right. Who knows if His Majesty Emperor Wu will go crazy one day and I will be sent back."
"Let's take a rest while there is still a couch available at noon!"
Xie Ling, who was originally tortured by the tea factor and had a hundred times more energy, fell asleep after reading a book all morning. The system watched helplessly as the host fell asleep on the couch a second after he finished speaking. It was so fast that it seemed as if someone had pressed the pause button, which made him dumbfounded.
No, corporal punishment is so tiring? The system slowly closed its mouth.
In the bedroom, Xiao Huan, who was supposed to close his eyes to rest, couldn't fall asleep. He didn't rest last night, so he should rest for a while today. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, Xiao Huan couldn't fall asleep at all, as if it was him, not Xie Ling, who drank the strong tea.
After an incense stick of time passed, Xiao Huan opened his eyes.
"Where's Xie Ling?"
With one word, Wang Bao, who was waiting outside the screen, immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Master Xie has gone to rest."
There was no movement behind the screen, but Wang Bao knew that His Majesty was waiting for his reply.
A few breaths later, the little palace maid who came running over bent down and whispered something in Wang Bao's ear.
Wang Bao then whispered back, "Master Xie just fell asleep."
Fall asleep?
How did this guy fall asleep so quickly?
Xiao Huan was silent for a long time, and he felt a little unbalanced. He had been diligently handling government affairs all day and had not fallen asleep until now. He ate and slept, and slept and ate. In the morning, he just held up a book for a while and fell asleep in an instant? You know, when he was the crown prince, he had to stand under the scorching sun for three hours just to draw the bow when practicing horseback archery.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Huan didn't know what to say for a moment.
When Wang Bao was waiting cautiously for His Majesty's instructions, he only heard His Majesty's cold voice: "Tell him to come to the study room this afternoon after he wakes up."
"Hey." The eunuch replied cautiously and wiped the sweat off his head. He thought His Majesty would ask him to go and call Master Xie right away, but he didn't expect him to wait until he woke up. It seemed that His Majesty really treated Master Xie differently.
Wang Baowei exhaled, then stood carefully outside the door holding his whisk.
After closing his eyes for a while, Xiao Huan got up to handle government affairs. The thorough investigation of the Imperial Hospital had not yet ended, and the matter involved the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel. In addition, the accumulated government affairs made it impossible for him to rest these days even if he wanted to.
…
So when Xie Ling woke up from a good sleep, he saw the little eunuch he had met in the morning standing anxiously opposite him without blinking. When he opened his eyes, he was almost scared to death.
"Shit, what's wrong with the system? When I look up, I see a face."
Xie Ling didn't expect the system to answer. This guy just quarreled with him occasionally, and ignored him when he didn't have the energy. He looked at the little eunuch and adjusted his expression.
"Hey, why are you waiting here? Is there something wrong?"
He thought that he hadn't slept for very long and it was still daylight. After finally catching up on some sleep, Xie Ling glanced outside.
The eunuch almost cried: "Thank you, Master, you finally woke up. It's already You hour."
"Dinner will be soon."
Who would sleep for two or three hours during lunch break? Thinking of the steward Wang's order to wait until Master Xie woke up and then bring him to the study, the eunuch was almost worried to death. Before coming, he had never expected that Master Xie could sleep so long.
What now?!
Xie Ling has also caught the horse, but I didn’t expect Xiao Huan to have such an order. At this time... is it too late to go there now?
The two looked at each other, and Xie Ling coughed lightly: "How about I pack up a little and we go over now?"
The eunuch nodded with a bitter face: "This is the only way."
Xiao Huan had reviewed thirty memorials after drinking a sip of strong tea for the whole afternoon, but Xie Ling had not come yet.
Wang Bao, who was standing beside him, glanced at the emperor from time to time and saw that his majesty's expression was becoming more and more ugly.
Damn it, how could I sleep for so long? When the teacup beside him got warm, Wang Bao immediately came over to replace it, and then he heard the voice of the outside transmission.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Xie is here." Wang Bao lowered his head as much as he could, wishing his voice could be lowered even more.
As expected, the leader sneered:
"What are you doing here? Dinner?"
Wang Bao choked and thought about it carefully. It was true. At this time... he could actually make it in time for dinner.
No one in the study dared to speak. Xiao Huan took a while to process the situation and left everyone alone for a long time before he pressed his eyebrows.
"Let someone in."
Xie Ling waited outside and changed his legs. After hearing the sound, he followed the eunuch in. As soon as he entered, he saw Emperor Wu standing in front of the study writing.
Although the tall and mighty Emperor Wu had a handsome face, he looked very oppressive standing like that.
Xiao Huan looked him up and down for a while and said sarcastically: "Are you awake?"
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Xie Ling: …
Why does it sound weird to him?
Is Emperor Wu trying to play tricks on him? Impossible. Most of what I know about Xiao Huan comes from history books. Xianyu raised his head cautiously and laughed awkwardly: "Well, Your Majesty, I didn't sleep well last night, and I overslept today."
After Xie Ling finished speaking, he thought about it and couldn't help but flatter him.
"Your Majesty, the soft couch here is the most comfortable."
This sentence successfully hit the horse's leg. Wang Bao, who learned that His Majesty had been suffering from insomnia and couldn't fall asleep today, said:...
Xiao Huan looked at him strangely for a while, and began to wonder what was going on in this man's brain. After thinking fruitlessly, he twitched his lips and said coldly, "There's still an hour before dinner time."
Xie Ling: Hmm? Oh.
so what?
Before he could react, a eunuch pointed to a place for him to read.
"Thank you, Master. It's a great blessing!"
"Knowing that you are taking the imperial examination this year, His Majesty has specially allowed you to review beside him. Please come in."
After two days of observation, Xiao Huan knew that this person would not write until the evening, but he did not want to watch him again tomorrow morning. This afternoon, being in the same room with Xie Ling, he wanted to see if he would write when he was extremely bored.
Xie Ling's desk was not next to his, the two of them were just in the same space. Because Xiao Huan didn't like people to get close to him when he was handling government affairs, even the eunuchs would retreat behind the screen. Therefore, after Xie Ling sat down, he found that this was a rare quiet environment.
"It's perfect for writing." The golden light above his head flashed and then deleted.
Then go ahead and write it, Xiao Huan glanced and took a sip of tea.
Xie Ling felt a little uncomfortable when he sat down at first, after all, there was a super boss sitting opposite him. But since he came in, the boss didn't even raise his head and focused on handling government affairs, so Xie Ling slowly relaxed.
There was an ancient book on the table in front of him. He just lowered his head and was stunned by the classical Chinese text.
What to review? Nothing at all. My goodness, the original owner, a pure native ancient man, couldn't even finish reading the Four Books and Five Classics, so how could he, a fake person who traveled through time and space, be able to do it?
Stop it.
Xianyu, who wanted to move but couldn't, felt like sitting on pins and needles. For the first time, he experienced the torture of studying. After a while, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiao Huan.
Good, Your Majesty didn't notice him.
Xie Ling looked calm, and finally couldn't help but secretly open the panel.
Xie Ling felt that it was not because he was too bold, but who knew what activities would be held tonight? What if the Emperor Wu inexplicably asked him to accompany him again? Wouldn't he have no time to update? He should hurry up and update now, after all, this was his life-saving talisman.
You can lose your life, but you can’t lose the shield!
After an incense stick of time, Xie Ling started writing quickly with his mind active. Thanks to the system panel, he only needed to stare at the desktop while writing. People who didn't know him would think that he was really looking down at the book seriously. Only Xie Ling himself knew that he was secretly writing a novel under the emperor's nose.
Wow, this is so exciting.
"Three sentences made His Majesty fall in love with me" continued:
"——The author of this post actually has a secret. The author of this post is a time traveler. It has been five years since the second year of Gan De. I usually work honestly in the Imperial Hospital and just want to spend the night as an ordinary imperial physician."
"But the palace strife actually involved the OP. The duck, two dogs and a cat in the OP's home have all become chess pieces on the chessboard. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Now that things have come to this, the OP really can't stand it anymore!"
"Someone come!"
"Gather eight hundred shadow guards to follow the host... oh no, slip of the tongue."
"Come here, please accept the host's mere gift of ten years' salary and give the host a chance to meet His Majesty."
"I will definitely seize the opportunity to impress His Majesty."
"I'm talking about you, the eunuch in front of you. Just accept this red envelope. This is what you deserve!"
His mood was up and down. When he saw the eight hundred shadow guards, Xiao Huan paused, thinking that this imperial physician had some special identity. But after gasping for breath for a long time, he found out that he was bribing the imperial eunuch?
Emperor Wu: ...
