You're Making Things Difficult for Me

Had she recovered so soon?

Lin Yi worked hard on her the night before, and it was the empress's first time. She had to be in great shape!

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, he wouldn't say that aloud.

After all, this wasn't something he could decide.

Hence, after greeting Mini, he walked into the imperial study.

At the door, Lin Yi gently pushed it open and walked in carefully.

He had wanted to knock on the door, but thinking that the young emperor might be reading a memorial, it was better not to knock.

Who knew if that woman would flip out?

However, when he tiptoed in, he was shocked to find that the young emperor wasn't at her desk.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

Where did the young emperor go?

While he was puzzled, he began to look around.

He had been guarding outside, so he was sure that the young emperor hadn't left the imperial study.

Since she didn't leave, she must have gone to the inner room.

With that thought in mind, he slowly walked toward the inner room.

After all, the empress was still waiting for a reply.

Lin Yi walked past a screen and walked in without saying anything.

As expected, when he walked into the inner room, he saw a person lying on the bed.

He carefully approached and saw that the young emperor was frowning with her eyes closed.

However, it was obvious that she was already asleep.

With her beautiful face and tightly knitted brows, the young emperor looked even more like a strong career woman.

That kind of beauty made Lin Yi feel like he was about to lose himself in it.

Fortunately, he knew where he stood and knew that her martial strength was stronger than his.

Moreover, other than the young emperor, there was definitely more than one person in this room.

When he thought about how Mini was still waiting outside, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It seemed that he had no chance of sleeping with the empress tonight.

When he saw the young emperor's tightly furrowed brows and slightly haggard face, he couldn't bear to wake her up.

Hence, he tiptoed out again.

Seeing Lin Yi come out, Mini immediately went up to him.

Then, she stared at Lin Yi with her big bright eyes.

"Ahem, His Majesty is probably too tired and has already fallen asleep. It seems like he won't be able to go to the Tranquil Palace tonight."

After receiving a reply, Mini only nodded.

"Alright, you can get back to work now. I have to hurry back and report to the empress."

At this point, she lowered her voice and blushed a little.

"Tomorrow, I might not be off duty until past dawn. I'll bring some food to see you then."

After saying this, she actually lowered her head shyly and trotted away.

This made Lin Yi rather excited.

The girl was so seductive.

With how cute she was, he really wanted to hug her and dote on her.

However, just as Mini disappeared from Lin Yi's sight with two other palace maids, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that he was going to court with the young emperor tomorrow!

There was no way he would be able to go back after the shift was over.

"The young emperor really makes my life a lot harder!"

Thinking of this, he quickly summoned a young palace maid beside him and asked her to pass a message to Mini, saying that he had to attend court with His Majesty tomorrow and might return later.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave on duty, Lin Yi would definitely have personally sent Mini back with the excuse that it wasn't safe at night.

Of course, it wasn't easy to walk at night, so Lin Yi didn't mind carrying the girl back.

Although the girl looked a little thin, with her soft breasts pressed against his back, it wouldn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Looking at the two faintly discernible palace lanterns in the dark night, Lin Yi shook his head in resignation.

Recalling that the young emperor was still sleeping inside, he walked back into the imperial study.

After all, there was still some distance between the inside room and the door. Therefore, if the young emperor needed something in the middle of the night, he might not be able to hear her from outside the door.

Of course, Lin Yi would never admit that he went in because there were too many mosquitoes outside.

Returning to the imperial study, Lin Yi looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the row of cushions at the door of the inner room.

In any case, the young emperor was already asleep. He would just take a nap here for a while.

Even though he had just slept during the day, the night was long, and he couldn't just sit there.

When he came to the soft cushion, Lin Yi simply lay down.

"Little Lin, Little Lin…"

However, Lin Yi had just laid down when he heard the young emperor's low voice.

He was stunned for a moment before he immediately sat up.

Now that he was working for her, he had to be there when he was summoned.

Walking into the inner room, Lin Yi thought that the young emperor had woken up, but she was still lying there as before.

However, from time to time, she would mutter "Little Lin".

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. "I'm just so attractive. Even when she's sleeping, she's dreaming about me."

He shook his head and was about to go out and lie down for a bit. Just then, he heard the young emperor's voice again.

This time, she wasn't calling his name.

"Get your ass over here…"

Her voice wasn't loud, but Lin Yi heard it clearly.

That stunned Lin Yi, who was about to leave.

He looked at the young emperor's beautiful face and swallowed. Out of nowhere, he asked gingerly,

"Your Majesty, what did you say? You want me to get in bed with you?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked that, the young emperor actually hummed in agreement.

Lin Yi didn't know if she was dreaming or if she had really heard his question, but she answered.

Of course, if someone could read dreams, they would discover that in the young emperor's dream, she was pointing her sword at Lin Yi, who was smiling cheekily not far away. With a cold expression, she shouted, "Little Lin, get your ass over here. I'll dig out your eyes!"

…

This time, Lin Yi could no longer remain calm.

He also felt conflicted.

"Gosh, this is so complicated. Should I get into bed with you or not? I know you must be dreaming.

"But you've just given an order, and I have to obey the emperor.

"Even though you're asleep, you're still the emperor."

Hence, he turned around and looked up at the roof of the hall while speaking in a conflicted tone.
