"Your Majesty, when you sleep in your palace, you never allow palace maids or eunuchs to enter even a step. Usually, it's only after you wake up in the morning that you ask me to help you change your clothes and wash up..."
So, he really didn't know if His Majesty would snore after falling asleep!
Upon hearing this, Emperor Junlan said, "I won't be staying at the Regent's Palace tonight. You're in charge of listening to whether I snore when I fall asleep."
Zhao Delin: "...Yes."
During the court session, since there were no major issues, Emperor Junlan resolved some matters and then announced the end of the session.
As for Murong Jin, he didn't attend court today. He had just changed his clothes after entering the palace when his guard, Yi Yi, arrived.
"Your Majesty, the master has suddenly had something come up and asked me to come and inform you."
He also asked Yi Yi to bring him some local specialties. As for where he went, Di Junlan didn't know. Yi Yi also replied that he didn't know what he went there for, only that the Regent had gone to the library.
A library?
Now that it's broad daylight, he had originally planned to have lunch with his brother since he was attending court, but his brother didn't come, so he could only eat whatever he could find by himself.
Looking at the three plates and two dishes on the table, and then at the man whose mind wasn't on the food, Eunuch Zhao understood that the palace was missing someone to dine with His Majesty...
For some reason, he thought of that refined and gentle man. Zhao Delin shook his head. This kind of relationship couldn't last. In his earlier years, he had seen many men kept as mistresses, but the other one still married and had children...
The men kept in the backyard are simply not presentable...
What is the Regent's true status? If he's being kept by His Majesty... that's highly improbable...
He actually thought it was more likely that His Majesty was being kept by the Regent...
Both are high-ranking individuals, so they wouldn't engage in the act of keeping male concubines... because their strength is comparable, and neither is willing to be a caged sparrow unable to fly away...
Your Majesty's love affair did not end well.
Murong Jin looked at Ling Qiao'er, who was fawning over him, and said, "Miss Qiao'er, there's no need to be so reserved."
Seeing that he was serious, Ling Qiao'er immediately lost her composure and said, "Your Highness, no offense, but you are really handsome!"
Murong Jin smiled and said, "Thank you."
Ling Qiao'er stood beside Murong Jin, "Although everyone says that we're just strangers who met by chance, Your Highness should still take good care of yourself. Even good friends shouldn't be trusted easily, especially people you haven't seen for many years. People's hearts are unpredictable..."
Murong Jin sensed the hidden meaning in her words, "Miss Qiao'er wants me to pay attention to Lu Zhishen, right?"
Ling Qiao'er stiffened for a moment, "Your Highness, what you're saying..."
Murong Jin felt that she might really know a lot of things. If she could awaken, then naturally others might awaken as well, and perhaps, as the book described, there might even be transmigrators...
"I have already dealt with Lu Zhishen."
"And Miss Qiao'er, could you tell me the purpose of your visit?"
Ling Qiao'er froze, then heard Murong Jin's next words, "Or, may I ask where Miss Qiao'er comes from?"
Ling Qiao'er looked at the man with sharp eyes, "What is Your Highness saying? I don't understand..."
Oh no! She was just reminding Murong Jin to be careful and not to be framed by Lu Zhishen, and she didn't expect to be suspected...
"Yeah?"
Murong Jin took a leisurely sip of tea, while the little girl next to her was too frightened to speak.
Forget it, I won't scare them anymore.
"If you tell me what you know, I might not hold it against you."
Ling Qiao'er had intended to kneel down, but at that moment she couldn't. "Besides, Miss Qiao'er only came to the capital in the last few months, right? You have no father or mother..."
Ling Qiao'er glanced around the room, Murong Jin waved his hand, and the butler left.
"I am not from this world..."
A barely perceptible glint flashed in Murong Jin's eyes. "That's right, Your Highness, the place you are in right now is a book I'm reading... and you are the main villain in the book... you are the victim of Lu Zhishen, your childhood friend..."
She didn't say anything more, and Murong Jin hummed in agreement, "To be honest, Lu Zhishen has already been killed by me."
He spoke in a calm tone, recounting a frightening event.
Ling Qiao'er was stunned. Lu Zhishen had been killed by the Regent?
What happened?
“As I mentioned before, I have been to the Kingdom of Mongolia.”
Mongolia.
Ling Qiao'er's eyes widened. So, it was that time that you took care of Lu Zhishen?
So, will the regent still have to compete with the current emperor for that position?
No, how did the Regent know?
After his pupils contracted sharply, he heard Murong Jin say, "Tell me, what is your world like?"
"A large bird that can fly, a rhinoceros that can run?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qiao'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Your Highness, neither of those are true."
Perhaps the characters in the book have awakened, so the most wronged regent, after learning about Lu Zhishen's fate, eliminated him. He may have also arranged many things just to avoid getting into trouble himself.
"Oh? Then tell me about it."
It is I, not the king.
Ling Qiao'er felt that the Regent was a very good person, and she felt much more at ease after learning that he was a person of exceptional wisdom.
"Your Highness, may I ask you a question?"
Murong Jin: "Compete for the throne? Forget it, I have never been interested in that position."
Ling Qiao'er's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, you have your own freedom. You don't need to give up your dreams for others."
Murong Jin chuckled, "Do not tell anyone about my awakening."
"Yes!!! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Ling Qiao'er was a transmigrator, and although this body was without parents, she had many good friends. If she offended Murong Jin, not only would she be dealt with, but those around her would also be implicated...
Even if Murong Jin awakens, he is still the same villain, and a powerful regent.
If you can't afford to offend someone, you can only cling to their coattails.
My crush's thigh... I wonder if I can let her hug me?!
Murong Jin asked her if her original name was the same as the one in this body, Ling Qiao'er.
"I've suddenly become very interested in the world you were talking about."
Upon hearing this, Ling Qiao'er said, "I can write it down. There are also many food-related things that I can write down the recipes for. I just can't take you to see my world, otherwise you would definitely like it."
From the moment Murong Jin awakened, she had longed for that world. However, the current human mindset has not yet undergone some trials and tribulations. The ideas of power, influence, and old customs are too deeply ingrained and cannot be changed in a short time.
Murong Jin now has a new hobby: eating food from recipes written by Ling Qiao'er.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Eunuch Zhao and Emperor Junlan stared at each other, one having stayed up all night, the other just to see if his emperor snored...
As a result, neither of them slept all night.
