Wei Yi didn't move again!
The eunuch glanced at him, thinking that the Emperor's silence was a tacit approval, so he quickly retreated.
Ji Wanxin waited outside, trembling all over.
She was also a bit apprehensive, wondering if Wei Yi would see her.
As she was thinking, a young eunuch came out from inside, saying, "Miss Ji, go in."
She beamed, "Many thanks, Gong-gong."
She handed the lantern in her hand to the eunuch and went in.
Inside the hall, the pungent smell of alcohol assaulted her nostrils.
She instinctively wrinkled her nose.
She saw Wei Yi sitting behind a table, surrounded by empty wine bottles.
What a shock!
"This servant greets Your Majesty." She bowed.
Wei Yi's body moved when he heard the voice. He propped up his head and squinted at Ji Wanxin.
Because of the alcohol, Wei Yi couldn't see the person in front of him clearly. He could only see a blurry shadow. It wasn't until that person got closer and closer that he could see it clearly.
But … why does that person look like Ji Yunshu?
"You …"
Ji Wanxin said, "This servant wants to thank Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty's mercy, this servant wouldn't have entered the palace to serve Your Majesty and the Great Lin, to atone for my Ji family's sins."
Her voice was very pleasant to hear.
Wei Yi's body was weak from the alcohol.
He laughed, saying, "We already said that you don't need to thank us. If you want to thank someone, go thank Shen Zhangqin."
"Without Your Majesty's mercy, this servant wouldn't have been able to enter the palace."
"Haha."
Ji Wanxin raised her pitiful gaze, "Did Your Majesty drink too much?"
Wei Yi sighed and massaged his temples, not replying to her.
Ji Wanxin continued, "Drinking is bad for the body. Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Great Lin, you mustn't harm your body."
"If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Ji Wanxin was obviously unhappy.
She took a step forward, saying, "Why don't this servant give Your Majesty a massage? It'll be more comfortable. "
Wei Yi still didn't speak.
Hence, Ji Wanxin grew bolder and bolder. She took a few steps forward and continued to probe, "This servant used to massage the acupuncture points on my father's head when I was at home. He would feel much better after that."
Wei Yi did not stop her.
Instead, she laid down on the soft blanket behind her and rested her head on the pillow.
As a result …
Ji Wanxin walked up the steps and bent her body slightly to sit beside Wei Yi, closing the distance between them once again.
"This servant has been bold."
She stretched out her slender hands and boldly placed her fingertips on Wei Yi's temples, gently massaging them.
Because of this, the two of them were very close to each other!
He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Ji Wanxin stared at his face as she massaged him.
She never knew that the fool from back then was so handsome. There was even a heroic spirit in his eyes that made people unable to move their eyes away.
Wei Yi's heavy and even breaths landed on her chin, making her heart go numb.
Their posture was so ambiguous that those who didn't know better would think that Ji Wanxin was a concubine.
At this moment, an even bolder idea appeared in her mind.
However, just as this thought surfaced in her mind, Wei Yi suddenly grabbed her hand.
Ugh!
Her entire body trembled!
She felt as guilty as a thief.
Wei Yi also opened his drowsy eyes and stared at the woman in front of him.
Ji Wanxin's eyes were filled with shock. She didn't dare to move. She pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty?"
It was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yi suddenly flipped her over and pressed her slender body against the soft blanket.
"Your Majesty, this servant …" Although she was terrified, she didn't resist.
Wei Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at her. His face was full of pain. "Shu 'er, is that you?"
It turned out that he had mistaken Ji Wanxin for Ji Yunshu.
Ji Wanxin opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain, but … she didn't.
She accepted this misunderstanding!
"I don't want you to treat me as your family. I don't want to be your family."
"Wei Yi?"
"Shu 'er, don't leave me."
Wei Yi leaned over and prepared to kiss her.
Ji Wanxin instinctively accepted it and couldn't help but close her eyes.
However …
Just when she thought Wei Yi was about to kiss her, her chin was suddenly grabbed by a strong force. It hurt so much that she opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Wei Yi's sinister face and sinister gaze.
Ah!
Wei Yi's fingers exerted more force, lifting her chin a few inches.
"Emperor!" Her heart was filled with apprehension as her hands tightly gripped onto her clothes.
Wei Yi said, "Ji Wanxin, we are not Shen Zhangqin. We will not be toyed with by you. Don't even think about getting what you want from us."
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. This servant saw that Your Majesty was not feeling well, so I boldly …"
"We know very well what kind of person you are. We also know very well how you harmed Shu 'er."
"…" Wei Yi increased the strength of his hand. A trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. "Listen carefully. If it weren't for Lord Shen, we would not have allowed you to enter the palace. So, you better know your place. Don't do anything that will disgust us. Otherwise … I will make Shen Zhangqin regret begging us to let you enter the palace."
Enter the palace. "
Ugh!
Ji Wanxin's eyes were wide with fear.
Because the force gripping her chin was getting stronger and stronger, she couldn't say a word.
However, his body couldn't stop trembling.
This was the first time she had seen killing intent in a man's eyes!
Wei Yi let go of her and got up from her body.
She did not seem to have come back to her senses. After lying there for a while, she slowly got up, retreated and knelt on the ground.
"This servant definitely didn't mean that. Your Majesty has misunderstood."
Wei Yi was already much more clear-headed as he sat on top. He looked down at the delicate woman.
"Ji Wanxin, we'll pretend nothing happened just now. Once we leave this hall, it's best if you don't speak of it."
"… Yes."
"Also, if you don't want to stay in the brocade office for the rest of your life, then it's best that you know your place and do your own thing. Perhaps once we are happy, we will quickly send down an edict to betroth you to Shen Zhangqin and make you your Shen Furen."
These words were a reminder and a warning!
Ji Wanxin's eyes reddened. She kowtowed to the ground, her voice choked with sobs. "This servant understands."
"You may leave."
"Yes, this servant will take her leave!"
Ji Wanxin struggled to get up from the ground. She didn't dare to look at Wei Yi and left.
She was in an extremely sorry state!
Wei Yi immediately shouted towards the outside, "Everyone, come in."
The two eunuchs guarding the door hurried in and knelt on the ground. "Greetings to Your Majesty."
Wei Yi pointed at them angrily. "Who let her in?"
One of them answered, "It was … this servant."
"Did we say that she could come in?"
"No … no."
"Fake an imperial edict. We can have your head."
