Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 142: Jealous (Second Update Today)

And now, having heard the summons of the young Emperor, Lin Yi could only set aside the work at hand.

Fortunately, these three days had set things on the right track, and everyone had their own tasks to perform.

The robust men were organized to go up the mountain to log, while the robust women were responsible for building houses here.

As for the elderly and the children, they were in charge of helping out and also took on the task of cooking and boiling water.

That’s right, since arriving here, Lin Yi had issued a requirement that puzzled everyone.

That was to boil the water before drinking it.

Although no one understood why Lin Yi would do such a thing, since it was a requirement put forth by Lin Yi, everyone could only follow suit.

After quickly giving these instructions, Lin Yi headed straight for the carriage, following the entourage led by a young eunuch to the Capital City.

Not a word was spoken on the way. Upon entering the Imperial Palace, Lin Yi made straight for the Imperial Study Room.

Pushing open the doors of the Imperial Study Room, he saw the young Emperor, as always, correcting the scrolls submitted by the officials at her desk.

"Your Majesty, this servant has returned."

However, upon hearing Lin Yi’s familiar footsteps and his words, the young Emperor pretended as if she hadn’t heard a thing, not bothering to lift her head or acknowledge him.

This reaction left Lin Yi stunned. He didn’t understand what was going on. Why was the Emperor ignoring him?

Logically speaking, having not seen each other for several days, she ought to miss him.

Could something have happened during this time? Or was there someone else in the room?

However, when he looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary, his confusion only deepened.

Yet what he did not know was that the young Emperor had heard his inner thoughts loud and clear.

Hearing this man even daring to think why she wasn’t acknowledging him, the young Emperor couldn’t help but curl her lips in disgust.

This guy had the nerve to flirt with his own subordinates and then wonder why she was angry?

As if she would bother with him.

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter at Nanshan, I would like to report to you in private."

The implication in Lin Yi’s words was that all the Palace Maids and eunuchs should withdraw.

Yet the young Emperor did not stop this from happening.

She simply hummed in affirmation.

As for Lin Yi’s little tricks, the young Emperor was acutely aware, but chose not to expose him.

After hearing this, Lin Yi then gestured with his hand for everyone to leave.

It wasn’t until they had all left that Lin Yi’s serious face finally revealed a sly smile.

He then took a few steps towards the young Emperor, crouched down in front of her, resting his hands on the desk, looking into the Emperor’s face.

His eyes gazed directly at the Emperor’s cheeks without blinking.

This action naturally did not escape the Emperor’s eyes. Although he was not looking at Lin Yi, he watched the miscreant from the corner of his eye through his peripheral vision.

Seeing this audacious man staring at her so intently, the Emperor couldn’t help but frown.

"What are you staring at? If you keep staring, I will gouge out your eyeballs."

Listening to the Emperor’s fierce voice, Lin Yi didn’t take it to heart at all.

No matter what, the young Emperor was his woman, and with so much time spent together, Lin Yi could discern whether she was truly angry or not.

Thus, he continued to stare intently at the Emperor’s pretty face, while speaking earnestly:

"Look at our dear little Emperor’s handsome face!

Ah, but seriously, the more I look, the more good-looking and likable he becomes. It’s truly addictive.

All these days without seeing him, I just couldn’t enjoy my food or sleep well, missing him terribly.

Having finally caught a glimpse today, of course I must take a good look."

Listening to these slick and flattering words, the little Emperor finally lifted his head and glared at Lin Yi with annoyance:

"I don’t see how you’ve missed me so much!

You silver-tongued thing, you’re too busy flirting with other women to spare a moment to miss me!"

Although he knew this guy was buttering him up, the little Emperor couldn’t help but feel a touch of joy from Lin Yi’s compliment.

But that joy didn’t show on his face.

Instead, he maintained a very displeased expression.

It was quite obvious that Lin Yi detected a sour note in those words, which took him aback.

At the same time, he wondered to himself, who could be slandering him?

Among those refugees, there were indeed some young women, but their needy looks were such a turn-off that he couldn’t bear to look at them.

And because of that, he truly felt wronged.

All these days, he had been wholeheartedly focused on the world, never sparing a thought for affairs of the heart.

[Humph! I’d like to know which damn fool had the gall to go and tattle on me to my little Emperor.

If I find out who it was, I’ll wring their neck and use their head as a football, I swear!]

Obviously, Lin Yi had already forgotten the incident where he gave the grasshoppers to Ying Yi.

Of course, even if he hadn’t forgotten, he wouldn’t dwell on it, and he could never have imagined that Ying Yi would pass those grasshoppers on to the little Emperor as well.

While Lin Yi was racking his brain trying to figure out who would bother to snitch on him, the little Emperor’s voice rang out again.

At the same time, he reached out for a bamboo slip and tossed it to Lin Yi in front of him.

Luckily, Lin Yi’s reaction speed was now incomparable to the past.

Thus, the moment the little Emperor threw the bamboo slip at him, he immediately reacted, hurriedly reaching out to catch it in his hands.

"Humph, I’ll settle scores with you later!

For now, take a look at this. It’s all full of squiggles and squibbles that neither I nor any of the scholars and warriors in the full court can recognize.

Take a look, do you recognize this stuff?"

As for why the little Emperor thought of Lin Yi? freewebnøvel.coɱ

This was entirely because of all the traits Lin Yi had previously displayed, and the mention of "time travel" that Lin Yi had been mumbling about, for some reason the little Emperor couldn’t comprehend.

That’s why she thought that Lin Yi might recognize these things, as he was no ordinary person.

Upon hearing the little Emperor’s words, Lin Yi opened the scroll in his hands with a hint of doubt.

Instantly, what caught his eye was a series of English words.

Looking at the English in front of him, Lin Yi’s eyebrows knitted slightly.
