Chapter 18 - Not Fair

Although she was dissatisfied, it was rather inappropriate for her to mingle with a fake eunuch because of her status as the emperor.

To prevent her competitive spirit from acting up, the young emperor simply covered her ears with his hands and didn't look at what was happening in bed.

While Lin Yi was busy showing off his strength to the young emperor, outside the hall, Empress Mu Wanning's personal maid, Yun'er, who had grown up with Mu Wanning, was also listening attentively to the sounds in the room.

When she heard the empress's moan, she couldn't help but blush.

At the same time, she was quite happy.

She was genuinely happy for her mistress.

Her mistress married the emperor the day before, but on the big day, the emperor was so drunk that he didn't consummate the marriage.

Yu'er heard a lot of rumors during the day.

Some said that His Majesty had never taken a fancy to the empress and that this marriage was just to appease General Mu.

That was why he didn't come to the Tranquil Palace after getting married. In the future, this empress would probably just be an unfavored woman in the palace.

Maybe she would be banished into the unwanted corner or something.

Such words really infuriate Yu'er.

They waited the entire day yesterday and today, but His Majesty never came.

The empress and her maid felt rather apprehensive.

His excuse yesterday was that he was drunk. However, the emperor had been marking memorials in the imperial study for the entire day.

They waited until late at night, but there was still no sign of His Majesty. This made them even more uneasy.

The empress also sent someone to talk to Liu, the personal eunuch of the emperor. He was also the old eunuch that scolded Lin Yi earlier.

However, the reply she received was that His Majesty had no intention of resting, nor did he have any intention of visiting the Tranquil Palace.

This time, the empress and her maid were really worried.

Were those people telling the truth?

Was the emperor really not into his new wife?

However, just as they were about to rest, a young eunuch rushed over and said that His Majesty was on his way here. He asked them to get prepared.

This was an unexpected surprise.

They would soon find out if the rumor was true about His Majesty.

Now, it was obvious that these rumors were just rumors.

They could all hear all the sounds coming from inside the hall.

The slapping sounds of bodies thrusting against each other showed how fierce His Majesty was.

Not only did Yu'er hear it clearly, but the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs also heard it.

Moreover, this seemed to be the first time that had happened in so many years.

So much so that they all involuntarily moved further away from the hall.

There was no other way. They still did not have the guts to eavesdrop on the emperor.

Seeing that everyone had moved away, Yu'er, who had wanted to stay at the door, had no choice but to follow them.

There was one thing that she couldn't look past.

The empress and His Majesty weren't the only ones in the room.

There was also a young eunuch.

Yue'er found it unfair.

Why could that eunuch stay inside while she, the maid who had grown up with the empress, couldn't even stay by the door?

She began to hate Lin Yi for this.

Although she was very happy about how things were going, she knew that she still had something important to do.

After leaving the courtyard, she immediately walked quickly toward the study.

A moment later, an expensive silk cloth appeared in her hand.

Of course, this silk wasn't used to make clothes but was used as paper.

After all, the heavy bamboo slip was very inconvenient most of the time.

Especially when it came to secret letters, the bamboo slip was too eye-catching.

Because of that, when one delivered secret messages, they would often use well-processed animal skins or silk.

Of course, those who could use these two things were also from influential families.

With the silk in her hand, she carefully placed it into a small bamboo tube and quickly walked out of the courtyard. After handing it to a young eunuch on duty in the palace, she whispered a few words into his ear.

Back in the bed chamber.

Half an hour had passed since Lin Yi started demonstrating his skills.

The young emperor almost couldn't stand it anymore.

Although she had covered her ears with both hands, the thrusting sound was too loud.

For a moment, it actually made her a little frustrated.

However, she was afraid of being discovered by the people outside, so she didn't dare to move.

Finally, after another fifteen minutes, the sound finally stopped.

The young emperor finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

However, just as she was about to get up, Lin Yi, who sounded like he was ready to finish off, surprised her by starting the thrusting movement again.

Immediately after that, the bed began to creak again.

The young emperor was so angry that she wanted to draw her sword and strike Lin Yi off the bed.

Fortunately, the second round didn't last as long. In less than ten minutes, Lin Yi was panting.

Lin Yi couldn't help but lick his lips as he looked at the empress who had fallen asleep from the alcohol and the love-making. He got off the bed in satisfaction.

At the same time, the young emperor finally stood up with a livid expression.

Although she was angry, she still walked to the bed gently and grabbed Lin Yi by the shoulder.

She didn't use much strength. With a swift movement, she threw Lin Yi to the ground.

"Damn it! That's not fair! You've used me and pushed me aside! Do you have a heart? I've worked hard to help you for most of the night. Not only didn't you thank me, but you actually attacked me!

"Just you wait. You'd better hope that you'll never be at my mercy! Otherwise…"

Hearing Lin Yi's shameless voice in her mind, the young emperor raised her hand, ready to teach this foul-mouthed fellow a lesson.

But as she looked at Lin Yi, she saw something…
