After Qi Yan finished speaking, Feng Lin was silent for a while before asking: "Qi Yan, who are you talking about..."

"Your Majesty, please don't ask. I won't tell anyone before that person knows." Qi Yan's voice was firm and decisive.

Feng Lin sighed: "Forget it. If it's your problem, I can't get involved too much. But I need to think about sending

him to the palace." Feng Lin really didn't know why he did this, as his close friend was going to be sent to a place where no one would shit.

Qi Yan knew that Feng Lin would not agree immediately based on his request alone, and he was willing to give Feng Lin time to consider.

After that, Qi Yan always took care of Feng Lin, as if he was "favored" like half a year ago.

Everyone was sighing at the ever-changing power in the palace, while carefully doing their own job, fearing that one day they would be treated as a thief and killed.

In the palace, the lives of servants are the least important.

Qi Yan became a celebrity again, and even the queen rewarded him with a lot of things, saying that he had done a great job in taking care of the emperor.

Qi Yan received the things, neither boasting nor denying, and put the things into his own inventory one by one, and then wrote them down in a small notebook.

In just two years, he has written down three notebooks of things, which is considered well-off in the circle of ordinary people.

The matter he mentioned to the emperor was delayed in the end. It is not known whether Feng Lin has not thought it through or has not considered it at all.

Qi Yan was not in a hurry, so he simply tried to gain more favor around him.

Maybe it was because of his last confession. Although Qi Yan didn't say who the object of his affection was, once he said it was a man, Feng Lin looked at him differently and his mood became strange.

Qi Yan took care of him as attentively as usual, but in his eyes, it became more and more strange.

"No need, I can do it myself!" Seeing that Qi Yan wanted to help him undress and bathe, Feng Lin hurriedly stopped him.

Qi Yan felt strange and looked at Feng Lin in confusion: "This is all my job..."

"It's okay, I can do it myself today." Maybe it was the attitude of a friend, Feng Lin waved to Qi Yan: "Go to the small kitchen and help me see if the fruit tea is ready."

Qi Yan nodded in response, but he was happy in his heart. In this situation, it is obvious that Feng Lin has come to his senses.

[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan +5, current favorability: 60]

Coming out of the small kitchen, Qi Yan was holding a cup of fruit tea. Although it is called fruit tea, it is not sweet and greasy. Instead, it is made by boiling several Chinese medicinal herbs and fresh fruits into tea, which is effective for Feng Lin's cold stomach. Maybe because it tastes good, Feng Lin still likes this fruit tea very much.

Qi Yan was fortunate enough to taste a few cups. It was indeed delicious, but if you tasted it carefully, you could still taste a hint of the bitter taste of Chinese medicine.

Fortunately, it is good for the human body, so Qi Yan didn't taste it anymore. Every time he saw Feng Lin drinking so much, he felt admiration.

When he came back, Feng Lin was already in the bathtub. Qi Yan took a look, put down the tea and was about to go over to rub his back.

"Hey, just wait in the outer hall." Before he walked over, Feng Lin called out, "There are cakes you like on the table. Eat some cakes and drink some tea. I'll be out in a while."

Qi Yan was stunned: "This is not good..."

"No one dares to come in without my order. You can take a rest."

Qi Yan did not refuse. Maybe there was no one in the palace, Feng Lin was particularly tolerant of Qi Yan, his friend. It is said that the imperial family is ruthless, but who has ever thought about whether it is the emperor who is ruthless, or the cold harem that forces him to be ruthless?

Feng Lin is happy to have a caring person by his side, such as Qi Yan, and is not afraid of being ruthless.

None of the women in the harem were brought into the palace because he liked them. Either this family had power in the court, or that family needed to be recruited. He had to take care of the harem and the court at the same time. If you think about it carefully, it is not easy to be the emperor.

After eating some cakes and drinking two cups of tea, Feng Lin came out of the inner hall, wearing a long robe, with long hair on his shoulders, wet and tangled.

Seeing this, Qi Yan went to get a clean cloth, and after Feng Lin sat down, he naturally went behind him to wipe his hair.

Feng Lin froze, but did not push Qi Yan away.

Qi Yan frowned slightly, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "Why is the emperor avoiding me recently, just like I did back then..."

"How can I avoid you? Who else do I need to avoid!"

The suddenly louder voice seemed to be covering up something.

Qi Yan did not dwell on it too much, and changed the subject, saying: "Today, the Empress gave me some small things."

"Just keep them if she gives them to you." Feng Lin's indifferent look obviously showed that he knew that the women in the harem gave things to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan thought for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty, do you really not like entering the harem?"

"What's there to like or not like." Feng Lin didn't explain too much, just casually said, "Those women are noisy, and I'm annoyed."

"But offspring..." Qi Yan hesitated. Although Feng Lin's harem is now well-off, there are no offspring at all! I don't know if Feng Lin doesn't want it, or if Feng Lin has a problem, or if those women's stomachs are not good enough...

There are a few concubines who have been pregnant, but they all died in such a dangerous situation in the harem.

Today, the queen gave him a lot of things, including a letter, which was written by the queen herself.

The content inside is nothing more than saying that Qi Yan is very powerful, so can you persuade the emperor to enter the harem and treat everyone equally? And then plant some seeds and have some offspring.

As an emperor, even if Qi Yan was a gambler, he felt that Feng Lin should have a son.

But his advice made Feng Lin frown.

"What did the queen say to you? Don't pay attention to it." A cold light flashed in Feng Lin's eyes. These women actually stretched their hands and feet to him!

"...But Your Majesty, offspring are important." Qi Yan felt that he could not give birth to a child.

"I don't want a child now. Let's put this matter aside for now and don't mention it again!"

Feng Lin used "I", obviously not wanting to mention it. Qi Yan was not the kind of person who would rush into trouble, so he gave up.

After drying his hair, Feng Lin went to sleep. Qi Yan was on guard tonight, and Feng Lin let him sleep on the couch in the outer hall. This was an honor that no servant could get!

As soon as he lay down, the sound of even and steady breathing in the inner hall began to sound. Qi Yan blinked in the darkness, slowly climbed down the couch, and walked towards the inner hall.

That steady breathing cannot be faked, Feng Lin is indeed asleep. Qi Yan walked over, looked at Feng Lin's handsome and peaceful sleeping face, and sighed softly.

...It is really difficult to conquer an emperor.

He stretched out his hand and slowly placed it on Feng Lin's cheek, just touched it lightly, and then took it back.

"It is said that the emperor is ruthless. You gave me friendship, but I want more..."

The harem is not where he wants to stay, and it does not belong to him.

Back on the couch, Qi Yan fell into a deep sleep, but ignored the trembling eyelashes of the person on the bed.
