With great effort, Xi Zirui pulls away from Han Yu and his puppyish pawing at his ass.
"Don't forget where we were," Xi Zirui says, sucking on a steadying breath.
Han Yu smacks his ass awkwardly. "This King will fuck you, don't worry."
Xi Zirui throws him an unimpressed look over the shoulder and mouths 'behave' at him, as he opens the door for the Empress Dowager.
She enters his room after gesturing at her maids to stay back. Xi Zirui closes the door behind her, and she casts her eyes in confusion around the room.
"Where are the Emperor's servants?" she asks.
"This son has been careful to restrict access to him while the matter of uncovering the traitors hasn't been dealt with."
The Empress Dowager points an accusing finger at Han Yu. "And yet, the Emperor allows this barbarian access to his most private quarters."
