Chapter 67 - Monarchs Without Ridicule (2/2)

”Your concubine is afraid that he would scold your concubine.”

”How dare he scold you now?” ”He knows that you are not dead,” said the Emperor Shizong. ”We do not intend to hide this from him. If you wish to see him, I shall allow you to see him. ”

An Jinxiu was a bit surprised. She thought it would take some effort to get the Emperor to agree to let her meet with Grand Preceptor An. But before she could say she wanted to meet with him, the grand Emperor said it himself.

”Is your father good to you?” Emperor Shizong asked An Jinxiu.

An Jin nodded. ”Father has always been nice to me and my younger brother. Actually, the people of the Residence of An have never treated me unfairly.”

The Emperor held on to An Jin and sighed as he rubbed their his chin against her hair. Even until today, this little girl still hadn't thought it through. Wasn't Madam Qin and sister trying to kill her? Whatever, the Emperor thought later. It's fine if this little girl is stupid. He doesn't like women who are too sophisticated and smart, because this kind of woman was lacking in the palace.

”Your, Your Majesty,” An Jinxiu stuttered as she called out to the Emperor again. She looked up at the Emperor before lowering her head, as if she wanted to speak but didn't dare to.

”You little girl,” Emperor Shizong said.

Emperor Shizong said: ”I won't touch Shangguan Yong, he's also a general in my court. Girl, now are you relieved?”

The Emperor was thinking about what Rong Shuang had said. The heart meridian of the young woman in his embrace was no longer good. It's dangerous if she was overly sad and had a palpitation in her heart.

If not killing Shangguan Yong will make this girl feel at ease, then he wouldn't kill Shangguan Yong. In the future, he would send this general husband to a faraway place and it would be fine if he didn't see him with his own eyes.

An Jinxiu was buried in the Emperor's embrace, looking at Shangguan Yong matter, she was guessing if the Emperor words were true or false.

”I still have some matters to attend to at the palace. I told your father to come see you right away, so you must promise me that you will not cry after seeing your father,” Emperor Shizong said to An Jin. ”Tell me, are you going to cry or not?”

”Stop crying,” An Jin said. ”In the future, don't cry.”

The softness of An Jin made the Emperor think of home cats. His body began to grow hot again. Last night, he was too delirious to savor the taste of this little girl. However, the Emperor could only touch the face of An Jin. This little girl could not even stand the jolting anymore. Since it's next day just now, the Emperor had a good look at An Jin again. Her sickly face was so beautiful that if she were to change into palace clothes, who knew how beautiful she would be.

”Your Majesty?” Seeing that the Emperor was staring at her, An Jinxiu started to panic.

”I'll come and see you tomorrow. Eunich Xie is my personal eunuch, and I'll keep him here to serve you,” the Emperor said after kissing An Jin's forehead.

”Eunuch Xie?”

”I'm a bit afraid of him.”

”You are the master and he is a servant. What are you afraid of him?” Emperor Shizong asked An Jin with a smile.

An Jinxiu whispered, ”I heard that the people outside call him Head Steward.”

An Jinxiu couldn't even compete with her own sister, so when facing this kind of person, the Emperor could only step back a bit and say, ”First let him serve you, I will pick an honest man to serve you.”

Only then did An Jinxiu nod her head. Xie, this eunuch had sided with Bai Chengze in her previous life and was a vicious and merciless person. She could not afford to use such a person, nor could she let him stand in her way.

The Emperor liked An Jinxiu, he don't want to leave her alone but he needs to go. After comforting her for a while, he left for the palace.

An Jinxiu saw Emperor departure then saw Eunuch Xie led into the room with Zi Yuan.

”Madam,” Eunuch Xie smiled and said to An Jin, ”This maid is someone who has been serving Madam for a long time. This servant has brought her here.”

An Jinxiu hurriedly thanked Eunuch Xie. She stuttered as she expressed her thanks.

”Madam, please talk for a while with Zi Yuan. This servant will not disturb you.” Although he didn't think much of An Jin, he still maintained a respectful expression when he spoke with An Jin.

”Yes, thank you, Head Steward,” An Jinxiu stuttered.

Eunuch Xie turned and walked away.

From yesterday to today, to Zi Yuan, it was as if the entire world had collapsed. ”Little Miss …” Zi Yuan ran to An Jin's side and cried, ”Just what happened?” Why did everyone die all of a sudden? ”

”Stop crying. There's no use in crying now.” An Jin raised her hand to wipe the tears away from her eyes. ”Zi Yuan, my father will come over later. I'll let him take you away. You don't need to follow me anymore.”
