Chapter 37 (2/2)
”Mo Qi Qi————–”
”This official greets the emperor, the empress.” A sweet-sounding male voice can be heard. He looks at the throne, tongue-tied.
Mo Qi Qi turns around. It is Chu Ling Xiao. She has no idea when he entered the hall.
Chu Ling Xiao looks at the two people, purposely looking embarra.s.sed as he asks, ”Did I interrupted Your Majesties good thing?” His eyes are actually filled with interest.
Good thing? Mo Qi Qi originally has no reaction, but when her eyes falls on Jun Qian Che's ice cold face, she finally realizes that she is sitting on his laps. Her face immediately reddens like crayfish as she puts some distance between them. She busily fixes her own clothes, ”Bengong was just playing around with His Majesty.” But why does her explanation sounds wrong the more she thinks about it?
A charming laughter is formed on Chu Ling Xiao's face.
Mo Qi Qi cleverly turns the table back on him, ”The morning court has just ended and yet the prime minister is already looking for the emperor. Your relationship with him is really good.”
Why did he always comes looking for Jun Qian Che in his resting palace? Seems like their relationship really isn't that simple. Don't tell her the two of them are really engaging in the romance of broken sleeves? Haha, Jun Qian Che unexpectedly eats both men and women!
(TN: Romance of broken sleeves is love between men and men.)
”This official has an important thing to report to the emperor.” Chu Ling Xiao smiles elegantly.
Mo Qi Qi nods, ”Bengong understand. Undertand…” Important? Affection is indeed important. ”Your Majesty, then chenqie shall not bother you and Prime Minister Chu's important thing. Chenqie leave first.” She leaves the hall with a secretive smile.
Seeing Mo Qi Qi, Chu Ling Xiao looks at Jun Qian Che wonderingly, ”The smile the empress had before leaving was pretty weird.”
”No need to pay attention to her.” Jun Qian Che's face is really bad.
Chu Ling Xiao laughs nastily, ”Your Majesty, what happened just now? Was the empress always this persistent and forceful? She actually—– forced herself on Your Majesty. No wonder you avoided her like plague every time you meet her.”
Danger flashes in Jun Qian Che's cold eyes.
Chu Ling Xiao quickly comforts him, ”But the empress is a lot prettier now than in the past. She found the most suitable make up for herself.”
Jun Qian Che didn't make any sound.
Afraid to have invoke the emperor's wrath, he expertly changes the topic, ”Your Majesty, this official have investigated that thing you asked me to.”
The cold air surrounding Jun Qian Che finally weakens a little, ”How is it?”
”It is just as you expected.” Chu Ling Xiao hands him a folder.
Light flashes in Jun Qian Che's eyes after he reads the folder.
”Your Majesty, do I need to inform General Han?”
Jun Qian Che puts away the folder, ”You can inform him later. Zhen has something else to talk to you, let's go to the Imperial Study.”
The two of them make their way out of the hall.
After leaving the hall, Mo Qi Qi did not immediately leave. Her coming to check on Jun Qian Che was just an excuse. Her main aim is to go to Yu Jing Palace's toilet. She had been checking the rest of toilets in the palace these past few days and she still couldn't find the way to go back. So now, she is putting her hope in Jun Qian Che's toilet.
In the past life, she went to that toilet to find ways to punish that cold-hearted Jun Qian Che; but in the end, she accidentally time-travelled to this place instead. So she thinks the way to go back must have something to do with the ancient era's Jun Qian Che. The toilet he used is most promising place.
Mo Qi Qi takes out Yu Jing Palace's map. When she spots the location of the toilet, her face is filled with delight. She looks at the hall where Jun Qian Che ate his breakfast earlier on. After that, she sneakily made her way to the toilet.
Unfortunately, to go to the toilet, you need to pa.s.s the dining hall so when Jun Qian Che and Chu Ling Xiao walks out, they b.u.mp into the sneaky and thief-like Mo Qi Qi.
