C33 (1/2)

The Eunuch An heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to her:

”Imperial Concubine Xi, please!”

Only then did Shuxi remember that she had been in a hurry over. She hadn't eaten dinner, so when she saw it now, she was slightly hungry.

Only then did she relax. After eating a few mouthfuls, he replied:

”I'm here to apologize. I shouldn't have left the palace without saying goodbye yesterday. I promise you, I won't do that in the future.” Her face was sincere, her voice soft, her eyes clear as she looked at him.

Instead of answering, he stared at her neck and asked her a question

”Does it still hurt?”

Shuxi was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he was asking about how furious he was last night when he grabbed her collar and strangled her. Actually, today, having recovered for the entire day, she already did not feel any pain. However, now that she saw him seriously ask her, she slightly wrinkled her brow and pretended to say …

”It hurts.”

These two short words were filled with hidden bitterness and a hint of coquettishness. As expected, Yin Su's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he stared at Hexagram.

Xuexi had come prepared today, and dressed gracefully with proper makeup. Adding on her current expression, she looked a little cute, seductive, and a bit shy. Other than a stiff expression, Yin Su's heart was also beating wildly. Recently, he had gotten used to her plain and simple clothes. In addition, she always maintained a calm and indifferent appearance. Suddenly, her appearance changed completely, causing him to lose some of his control.

He got up and carried her away from the dining table and towards the bed in the inner room. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of each other's heartbeats. Only the candlelight from the imperial study outside could be heard through the curtain. It was faint, but one could still see each other's appearances.

Yin Su's eyes were filled with unresolvable emotions as he looked at Shuxi, and almost wanted to melt her.

He knew that she had come prepared, but he also knew that her flattery was sincere and fake. But he was still sunk, unable to free himself. Regardless of how many people viewed him as a god-like existence, how many people feared him in this world, whether he was a monarch or a commoner, he would never be able to escape from her grasp.

With this good start of the night, regardless of whether it was Yin Su or Shuxi, both of them tacitly agreed to have such a relationship. During the day, Liu Xi would do his own things in the six clear palaces while Yin Su would be busy with political affairs. When dusk arrived and Yin Su was finished with his work, Liu Xi took the initiative to go to Imperial Mansion to accompany him. Eunuch An, who had always been guarding the door, knew what to do.

Every single day, Liu Xi's clothes would change patterns, giving Yin Su a fresh feeling every day, and when he spoke or had an expression, it was no longer as cold as before, but instead a smile that was beautiful and beautiful. If Yin Su was writing, she would help him grind the ink; if Yin Su was tired, she would massage his shoulders and massage his temples to refresh his spirit; if Yin Su had temporary matters to attend to, he would wait inside quietly until he left.

She thought that she had been extremely careful and had appeared where he needed her. However, she discovered that other than the first few days, Yin Su's mood was not too bad. After that, it had turned back to its original ice-cold state.

She didn't know what she had done wrong to make him unhappy, so she could only be more careful and obediently follow his orders. However, it was of no use. The more she tried to please him, the more furious he would become.

This also made Liu Xi helpless, and she didn't know how to make him happy again. Just as she was about to fix it, the relationship that was about to get better mysteriously dropped to a freezing point.

That night, Liu Xi had just entered the Imperial Mansion when she heard Cang Ruoyu talking at the door, and was about to enter the Imperial Mansion.

She asked the Eunuch An with a smile

”Is the Emperor too busy these days?” ”It's been a long time since Jing Yu Palace was born.”

Eunuch An smiled as he lowered his head.

”There has been an invasion by another race recently. The emperor is busy with discussions about countermeasures.” But his body still blocked the door for Cang Ruoyu to enter.

”No matter how busy you are, you must still pay attention to your body. I specially brewed some soup for the emperor to send over. May this eunuch please let me know.”

Although Cang Ruoyu was polite and gentle, she looked at Eunuch An with only order.

Naturally, Eunuch An did not dare to not report this matter to him.

”Esteemed Empress, please wait a moment. I'll go report to the emperor right now.”

Hearing that Cang Ruoyu had arrived, Yin Su replied expressionlessly.

”Let her in.”

Then she turned to Shuxi and said

”Back to the inner room.”

Sixi, who could have stood beside him openly, had to retreat to the inner room at the back because of his orders. He was like a concubine who couldn't bear to see the light of day, even worse than a concubine.

”Alright.”

He looked calm on the surface, but his heart had suddenly sunk to the bottom and was rolling in pain. Whether it was her previous life or this life, regardless of what time it was, in front of Cang Ruoyu, she had suffered a crushing defeat.

She could hear every word Cang Ruoyu and the others were talking to each other.

”Your majesty, the day has started to get cold. A few days ago, Jiangnan sent me some new cloth. I've already started preparing it. In two days, I'll bring it to you for you to try.”

Yin Su said with a calm voice.
