Poor Thing

However, for the sake of the young emperor's ego, Lin Yi still wailed a few times.

The two eunuchs holding him down couldn't help but feel happy.

They didn't expect to receive extra silver. That was simply too satisfying.

After all, they were paid to look after Lin Yi. After taking his money, these two eunuchs naturally couldn't bear to let Lin Yi suffer.

Hence, the two of them loosened their grip on Lin Yi's arms. At the same time, they got a cushion from somewhere and placed it under Lin Yi.

It looked like they were afraid of hurting Lin Yi.

If it weren't for Master Nineteen, these two eunuchs would have found a soft couch for Lin Yi.

Not only that, but one of the eunuchs also took out a small pear from his pocket and brought it to Lin Yi's mouth.

"Master Lin, I just got this pear from the imperial kitchen. Try it."

...

Fifteen minutes later, the young emperor almost couldn't control her expression as she watched Lin Yi limp in.

Someone had already told her about this guy's every move.

Seeing this fellow's pretentious actions, the young emperor didn't expose him. Instead, she only said,

"Let's go to court."

Seeing the young emperor's indifferent expression as usual, Lin Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"She's really ruthless. Can't she see that I've been beaten up like this? She didn't even ask a single question of concern… The most vicious thing is indeed a woman's heart. That's absolutely correct."

The young emperor, who had already walked in front of Lin Yi, suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared coldly into Lin Yi's eyes.

"Was the pear tasty?"

After saying that, she snorted and walked out with a flick of her sleeve.

Lin Yi was left standing there in a daze, his heart beating wildly.

"She knew?

"Does that also mean that she knew I bribed those people?

"That's not right. She didn't stop me. She cut me loose on purpose!

"I guess she has a heart after all. I'll have to find a chance to check her up tonight, just to see how big her 'heart' is. Well, more like how fair it is…"

As he thought about it, he limped after the young emperor.

"If you like this limp, I don't mind letting you experience it for real."

Hearing that, Lin Yi immediately walked normally.

The council hall was also known as the throne room.

This was the place where the emperor held morning court every day. It was also the center of the entire Dayou.

Under normal circumstances, every decree on the governance of the empire was discussed and decided here.

However, that wasn't the case now.

This place had already become a place of formality.

Even Lin Yi, who was a little excited because it was his first time attending court, could sense this.

Ever since he arrived at the throne room, he realized that the atmosphere here was rather strange.

It was similar to what was shown on television, where the civil and military officials were divided into two sides. The young eunuch began to announce loudly that they should report to the emperor if they had things to report and the court would be dismissed if there was nothing.

However, ever since the young emperor came in, it had been completely quiet.

It was really the kind of scene where one could hear a pin drop.

At first, Lin Yi thought that these people were afraid of the imperial power.

But later on, he felt that something was amiss.

These people didn't seem to care about the young emperor at all!

Logically speaking, with the large pile of memorials on the young emperor's desk, it was impossible for these people to remain silent during the court assembly.

Lin Yi looked at the young emperor.

The young emperor's face was indifferent and helpless.

It was as if she was already used to this scene.

"If there's anything, report it. If there's nothing, leave the court…"

The young eunuch's voice rang out again, but everyone still had the same attitude.

This made Lin Yi frown.

It seemed like there was something going on!

"Looks like this young emperor isn't as powerful as I thought.

"Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid her power has already been taken over!"

Hearing Lin Yi's thoughts, the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed that Little Lin had a sharp eye for things.

Just from one court meeting, he could roughly guess the current situation.

"Among this group of guys, a few of them had worried expressions. These people should have something to say but don't dare to say it.

"Other than those who lowered their heads and remained silent, only the two fellows in black python robes in the front row had mocking expressions on their faces.

"It seems that these two should be the culprits behind the current situation, right?

"But why did the young emperor end up in such a state? Why didn't she take down these two fellows? "

For a moment, Lin Yi, who was standing not far behind the young emperor, couldn't help but frown and think.

After all, in his opinion, no matter how much trouble these people could cause, they were just servants.

To put it bluntly, they were all working for the emperor.

Lin Yi didn't believe that if the young emperor wanted to kill a few people, anyone would dare to stop her so brazenly!

Hearing Lin Yi's thoughts, the young emperor sighed again and muttered to herself, "I'd love to get rid of them above anything else, but that's too difficult!"

At the thought of this, she knew that there was no point in continuing this, so she simply flicked her sleeves and said that the court was over before taking the lead to leave.

Seeing this, the officials bowed as usual. Then, they walked out in twos and threes.

In the imperial study.

After dismissing the people around him, the young emperor looked at Lin Yi, who had a serious expression on his face and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Then, she muttered to herself self-deprecatingly,

"I'm especially incompetent, aren't I? I can't even protect what my father handed over to me. You've seen the current situation. The entire court has already been divided into three factions…"

She seemed to be mumbling to herself but also seemed to be telling Lin Yi about the current situation in the imperial court.

After all, for so many years, the young emperor had been keeping these words to herself and didn't dare to tell outsiders at all.

After talking to Lin Yi, the young emperor felt much more relaxed.

For a moment, the suffocating feeling in her chest eased.

When she looked at Lin Yi again, she didn't know how to feel.

On the other hand, Lin Yi listened quietly to the young emperor's words. He felt aggrieved for her.

At the same time, he deeply felt how pitiful the little emperor's current situation was!
