Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 268 - 266: The Empress Arrives (Extra 8)

"Your Majesty, now that we know Zhao Heng is from the Hidden Guard, we can’t keep him locked up anymore."

Seeing the Emperor’s saddened expression, Lin Yi changed the subject.

He did not want to see the Emperor so heartbroken, as it was something he could not bear to witness.

The women he cared for only needed to be happy each day.

"Although that’s the case, letting him go is not an easy matter.

Releasing him hastily will surely arouse the suspicions of the Sixth Imperial Uncle."

The Emperor’s concerns were indeed not without reason.

Now, just by having captured Zhao Heng and releasing him after meeting with Lin Yi once, wouldn’t this also prove their connection?

"Your Majesty need not worry so much, nor overthink it, just let him go without regard for what others think.

After all, based on my observations, Zhao Heng holds a deep position within the Imperial Camp."

Lin Yi was very clear in his intentions, relying on Zhao Heng’s position within the Imperial Camp, even if the Sixth Prince doubted and feared him, it wasn’t something to worry about.

For the time being, the Sixth Prince couldn’t do anything to him.

Moreover, now that Zhao Heng has entered the Heavenly Prison, it’s likely that the Sixth Prince has already started to take action.

After thinking it over, the Emperor felt the same and nodded, immediately ordering someone to release Zhao Heng.

However, at that moment, suddenly a eunuch from outside the Imperial Study Room announced:

"Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience."

Hearing this, the young Emperor slapped his forehead, clearly feeling helpless about the Empress.

For this period, he had used state affairs as an excuse and had not gone over there, while she had been acting very steadily.

But now it seems, he couldn’t avoid dealing with her any longer.

Thereupon, the young Emperor turned a pleading look towards Lin Yi.

But just as his gaze shifted to Lin Yi, he found that upon hearing the Empress was coming, Lin Yi’s face showed an excited expression.

This caused the young Emperor to lift his foot in annoyance and kick him:

"Haha, you seem very excited about the Empress coming."

In the time it took to speak, before Lin Yi could open his mouth to explain anything, the Empress, accompanied by a Maid, leisurely walked in.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yi immediately bowed to the Empress.

The Empress also smiled and nodded at him, then likewise bowed slowly to the young Emperor:

"This consort has seen Your Majesty."

"Haha, what brings the Empress here? Lin Yi quickly fetch a seat for the Empress."

Hearing this, Lin Yi also shifted his gaze from the Empress, and truth be told, having not seen her for a long while, he really missed her.

Among all his women, it was the Empress who seemed knowledgeable, reasonable, and dignified.

How should I put it? Besides being incredibly beautiful, the Empress had a big-sister sort of vibe.

Having not seen her for a while, once she entered, Lin Yi’s gaze did not leave her.

Upon the Emperor’s command, Lin Yi immediately got up and moved a stool over, not just that, but he also specifically added a cushion to the stool.

This action naturally did not escape the eyes of the young Emperor.

This made him feel inexplicably sour inside.

This scoundrel, usually, he never treated me with such gentleness; why is he so gentle towards the Empress now?

Hmph, it seems I’ve been too kind to him.

"Your Majesty need not mind me, just keep to your comfort, I will give you a shoulder massage."

While speaking, the Empress had also directly made her way behind the young Emperor to start massaging his shoulders.

This made Lin Yi, who had just carried the stool back, quite envious.

[Sigh, when will the Empress ever give me a shoulder massage.

Tsk tsk, looking at His Majesty’s unwilling face, he really doesn’t know how to enjoy.]

These thoughts of Lin Yi were unmistakably heard by the young Emperor.

Which also caused him to give Lin Yi a displeased glance.

And this made Lin Yi startle.

Thinking that the Empress is your lawfully wedded wife, what do you mean by looking at me like that?

As if it was my idea for the Empress to come over...

The Emperor naturally could not refuse the kindness of the Empress, having no choice but to let her press his shoulders.

Then she turned her gaze to Lin Yi and continued the topic they had been discussing.

She couldn’t act too out of the ordinary at this moment.

She even had to appear busier than usual.

Otherwise, what would the Empress think?

You’re not busy on normal days, yet you don’t come to see me, what does this mean?

Understanding the Emperor’s thoughts, Lin Yi could naturally relate, so he also started focusing on the official matters, acting as if the Empress wasn’t there at all.

It must be said, the Empress really was quite understanding.

Seeing the two discussing official matters, he didn’t intrude, merely quietly standing behind the young prince, massaging his shoulders, rubbing his head.

This scene made Lin Yi quite envious to one side.

Speaking in terms of seniority, the Empress should indeed be the chief wife.

Then the second wife should be Xiao Xiao.

As for the young Emperor, at most he’s just the third wife.

If it weren’t for Ying Yi joining the scene, the young Emperor would really just be the junior wife.

But now, the smallest wife not only doesn’t serve me but is also enjoying a massage from the chief wife.

As for me, who should be the biggest pillar of the household, I could only miserably sit there helplessly watching.

Where could I even go to complain about this?

"Your Majesty, then this subject shall take his leave first."

Seeing that the discussion was over, Lin Yi could only stand up to leave.

After all, it was still early in the day, not yet the time for him to be of use, therefore it was natural for him not to stay here any longer.

Clearly, the young Emperor knew this too, and thus waved his hand:

"Yes, tell Zhao Heng to pay good attention to that pattern after returning.

Also, arrange for some of the Empress’s favorite dishes to be prepared this evening; the Empress will rest in the Imperial Study Room tonight."

These words obviously had a special meaning, and Lin Yi naturally understood right away.

The young Emperor was clearly telling him that he must hurry back tonight no matter what.

Otherwise, she truly couldn’t handle the Empress’s mouth.

After all, I am also a literary person skilled in talk...
