83 Chapter 83: The Three Pillars (1/2)

Xiao Lin Xi made his way back at the empress' chamber with ease. At his back, a junior eunuch meekly followed. With a tray on his hands, he hold the newly brewed medicine that Wei Yi Yi dread so much, she would pretend dead at the sight of it.

”Senior Eunuch Lin,” Xiao Yuan Xi greeted with a smile. Both head Eunuch and first class maidservant of Xian Feng Palace stood side by side in front of her majesty's chamber. Acknowledging their presence, he nodded, however, before he could take another step, the two blocked the door. Xiao Lin Xi knitted his brows at such rude behavior.

Irritation bloom deep within his stomach but years of experience enable him to not act on his emotions. Ignoring them, he held a hand to open the door but was ultimately grabbed.

”How about a heartfelt talk, Senior Eunuch Lin?” Tang Mei wore a smile on her lips. With every slight struggle, she would tighten her grip. After a few moments, sparks form between Xiao Lin Xi and Tang Mei.

Although he's afraid that Tang Mei's grip might break the old man's already brittle bones, Xiao Yuan Xi cheered in his heart. He had his fair share of Tang Mei's scary smile and has long been aware to run faraway even with the slightest twitch of her lips. Now that it was not directed at him, he generously praise Tang Mei.

”Miss Tang, this set of actions are inappropriate,” Xiao Lin Xi said, containing his dissatisfaction towards Xian Feng palace's servants.

”Senior Eunuch Lin is right to scold this lowly servant,” Tang Mei continue the idle chat without fear. Xiao Yuan Xi nod his head in agreement. Servants such as them have their own set of connection and power struggle. While having a powerful master that they could tattle on is a good thing, their ability to preserved, move in the background and clean up after the dirty deed is what will really count.

Tang Mei, as a first class maidservant directly serving the empress, did not gain her position with just a snap of a finger.

”Do not be excessive!” Xiao Lin Xi flung her hand away and swiftly reach for the door. Halfway opening it, he was silent for a moment, and then, making sure he wasn't making any sound, close it gently; his ears slowly turning red.

”Do not blame us, Senior Eunuch Lin,” Tang Mei said then turn her head to the side.

Xiao Yuan Xi immediately followed up. ”That's right. We stopped you with good intentions.”

Xiao Lin Xi wanted to lash out with these two fellow servants. Does it hurt to tell him exactly that the empress and the emperor is being intimate in the middle of the day?

As if knowing what he thought, the two raise a brow towards him. Xiao Lin Xi cough his embarrassment away. Alright, it's embarrassing to mention and they couldn't just say that their masters are being shameless while the sun is still out. If others hear of this, what would happen to the emperor's face?

Turning around, Xiao Lin Xi was met with the junior eunuch's questionable stare. He told the young man, ”Step forward and you'll be punish. Enter and I'll throw you out of the palace. And don't even try to peak!”

Now, with Xiao Lin Xi in the middle, the three guard the door securely, making sure that their masters won't be disturbed. Xiao Yuan Xi held a straight face while Xiao Lin Xi have a frown--- the aura around them is as strict as it could get. A calculated smile hang on Tang Mei's lips but, that too, didn't help the atmosphere at all, instead, it seem to add to the horror.

The junior eunuch gape at their stance. ”But her majesty's medicine will turn cold---”

”Ssssshhh…” with reprimanding stare, the three chorus.

Inside the chamber, the emperor and the empress remain embracing while their mind held a different thought from one anoher.
