Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 171 - 170: What a Unique Idea (Fifth Update)

Using so much fine fabric to encircle the shop’s perimeter, who gave him the courage?

Does he not know how many people in this world are without clothes?

Does he realize what these fabrics represent?

Scoundrel! Bring this fellow back to me immediately!"

As she spoke, she felt it was not enough to relieve her anger, and she grabbed a small trinket from the table, ready to throw it.

However, when she grabbed it, she paused for a moment, then helplessly shook her head and gently put it back down.

The item she was holding was none other than the two small grasshoppers woven from grass leaves.

On normal days when she worked, she would place these on her Imperial Table.

For some reason, whenever she felt upset or encountered difficult issues, seeing these two little grasshoppers would calm her mind.

After putting them down, she fiercely pointed her finger at the two grasshoppers:

"You mischievous thing, if you do not give me a reasonable explanation, today I must punish you with 20 heavy floggings."

After the young Emperor spoke, the white shadow that had been sitting on the beam above suddenly shuddered.

For some reason, hearing that the Emperor wanted to give the fellow 20 heavy floggings, she inexplicably felt nervous.

Not only that, but in her fair hands, she was also holding a pair of grass-woven grasshoppers.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi was directing people at work, but suddenly a group of soldiers burst in, grabbing him without a word and heading for the carriage.

Initially, he wondered why his own soldiers did not resist or help him, only to see that the group was holding the Emperor’s token.

At this point, he realized that they were not under anyone else’s command but were the young Emperor’s envoys, although he did not understand why the young Emperor wanted to do this.

Fortunately, a small eunuch by his side knew that Lin Yi was the Emperor’s favored official.

Therefore, although there was much pretense, they were exceedingly polite to Lin Yi.

After getting on the carriage, he respectfully attended to Lin Yi by his side.

"Your Majesty, why were you in such a rush to have me apprehended? Has something happened?"

However, upon hearing Lin Yi’s question, the small eunuch could only give a bitter smile, shake his head, and then sat down with a troubled face.

Seeing this, Lin Yi knew he couldn’t get anything useful from this fellow, so he stopped asking and simply closed his eyes to rest.

Indeed, Lin Yi was well treated. The carriage took him to the palace gates, where a sedan then carried him directly to the entrance of the Imperial Study Room.

At the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, the small eunuch faced Lin Yi with a bitter expression and bowed:

"Steward Lin, please forgive me, it was His Majesty’s order, I dare not disobey, I have offended you."

After saying this, just as Lin Yi was caught off guard, the little eunuch waved his hands towards the sides.

Instantly, two guards lifted Lin Yi from both sides and directly carried him into the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin has been brought back."

After the eunuch entered the Imperial Study Room, he bowed to the young Emperor and respectfully spoke.

At this time, the young Emperor also looked up towards Lin Yi.

Seeing Lin Yi being grabbed by two soldiers, the young Emperor felt a pang of heartache.

She instantly opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But Lin Yi quickly recalled his previous actions, hence forcibly tensed his face:

"Hmph, Little Lin Yi, let me ask you, was it you who directed someone to wrap those fabrics around the shop?"

Lin Yi, originally perplexed, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then quickly caught up.

He figured that the girl must have received reports from her subordinates detailing everything he did in the East Market.

At this moment, the buzzing talks of the people in the Capital City was something he was naturally aware of and also something he intended.

That was why he knew why the Emperor was angry and why he had been dragged here.

[Damn, so it was for this reason.

But this is your fault. I painstakingly helped our shop gain some reputation, yet you, on the other hand, allow someone to seize me without discerning the situation properly, which is somewhat unprincipled.

Ah, I thought you were quite clever and would surely understand my well-intentioned actions.

I figured my little schemes would certainly not escape your eyes.

Can’t you see this was all done on purpose?

Can’t you see I was deliberately creating a topic of discussion?

Not to mention, after what I’ve done, even though our shop has not opened yet, everyone in the Capital City knows about it.

This is a rare advertising effect.

Moreover, people say I’m wasteful, saying I left these precious fabrics outside.

But although the fabrics were placed outside, who said they can’t be used again?

Once the redecoration is over and the fabrics are removed to make clothes, can’t they be worn?]

The Emperor, who was quite angry initially, suddenly heard Lin Yi’s inner thoughts which momentarily stunned her, then she quickly caught on.

Indeed, as Lin Yi thought, although the fabrics were hung outside, who could say they could not be used again?

And since these fabrics can still be made into clothes, it means they weren’t wasted after all.

Realizing this, the Emperor’s anger dissipated instantly.

However, having made a big fuss about bringing this guy back, it was impossible to just let him go without saying anything, right?

That would be too humiliating for her.

Thinking this, the Emperor suddenly had an ingenious plan pop into her head.

Without waiting for Lin Yi to answer her previous question, she continued to scold loudly:

"Do you realize what mistake you have committed?

Let me ask you, with so many fabrics outside, why didn’t you have someone guard them?

If it resulted in these fabrics being lost or damaged, wouldn’t that be wasteful?"

And just as Lin Yi was about to enlighten the Emperor, he was utterly stupefied by her question.

[Why is she not playing by the rules?

Why is her thinking so clear?

Shouldn’t she be concerned about my waste of fabrics?]

Seeing Lin Yi’s puzzled eyes and hearing his confused thoughts, the corners of the Emperor’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up, drawing a charming arc.
