Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 29 The Disabled General VS The Puppet Emperor 5
As Lin Sui's eyelashes fluttered, she opened her eyes and saw Sheng Yuan sitting in a wheelchair by the bed. He was looking down at a book, his expression focused, and his whole being was aloof.
"Your Majesty is awake. Are you hungry?"
"What time is it now? How long have I been asleep?"
"His Majesty slept for two hours, and it is now Shen Shi (3-5 PM)."
Shengyuan put away the book, and after he got dressed, he sent someone to bring him some food.
Sheng Yuan didn't know what his little darling's tastes were like in this world, so he ordered one dish from almost every cuisine. He found that his little darling preferred spicy dishes, especially boiled fish.
Sheng Yuan skillfully used serving chopsticks to pick out the bones for him.
Lin Sui was initially shocked, feeling it was against the rules, but then he let it go, as it seemed convenient to have someone serve him this way.
At this moment, Lin Sui completely forgot about the times he had been furious when the servants served him meals.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Sheng Yuan gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
The voice was very close to him, so close that he could clearly smell the medicinal scent on him. Looking into his gentle and earnest eyes, Lin Suidi's heart skipped a beat.
He felt that he might have really fallen for him. He subconsciously trusted him, got close to him, did not reject his approach, his overstepping of boundaries, and even his heart would beat uncontrollably whenever he saw him.
"Your Majesty, do I look good?"
Seeing that he was staring straight at him, Sheng Yuan couldn't resist teasing him.
"Ah...it looks beautiful," Lin Sui replied instinctively.
Upon hearing the answer, Sheng Yuan smiled and said, "It is my honor to be recognized by Your Majesty."
Lin Sui suddenly came to his senses and realized what he was saying.
She became incredibly famous and felt utterly ashamed.
"It's getting late, Your Majesty, I'll escort you back to the palace."
Fearing he might provoke the man, Sheng Yuan suggested sending him back to the palace.
On the way back to the palace, Lin Sui sat in Sheng Yuan's carriage, somewhat reserved, hesitant to speak.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice of his "good brother".
"What a coincidence to run into the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo today. I wonder if the heir would be interested in having a drink with me in Fanliu Lane?"
Fanliu Lane is the most fashionable restaurant in the capital. If Lin Ze didn't value his military power, he wouldn't bother with this good-for-nothing.
"I'm afraid this will spoil Your Highness's mood. I have a leg ailment and cannot drink alcohol. Moreover, I happened to meet Your Majesty today, who was traveling incognito. Eunuch Wang and Your Majesty left in an emergency and have not returned since. Your Majesty has no carriage or attendants, so I must escort Your Majesty back to the palace."
Sheng Yuan lifted the carriage curtain and replied indifferently.
If you really want to keep the appointment, why bother to personally see the person off?
Lin Ze understood his unspoken meaning and cursed him inwardly for being ungrateful.
"Eunuch Wang is an old servant in the palace, yet he has kept my brother waiting for so long without any attendants. How could he make such a mistake? What if something happens to my brother?"
Lin Ze presented himself as a caring older brother, and if Lin Sui hadn't been reborn, he probably would have believed him.
"Your Majesty need not worry, I am fine. I happened to run into Lord Xie today, and we chatted for so long that I lost track of time. That's why I have to trouble General Xie."
Although Lin Sui loathed this scene, he still had no choice but to play along.
“That is so. However, Eunuch Wang is the only one who has served Your Majesty all these years. If Eunuch Wang is not here, Your Majesty may be inconvenienced. Perhaps Kangfu could serve Your Majesty instead.”
"There's no need to trouble Your Majesty. General Xie has already sent someone to help me find someone. Besides, there are plenty of eunuchs in the palace. I can just pick one from among them."
“That’s not bad.” The Regent was about to say something when he saw a guard exchange glances with him and then said, “I have business to attend to at my residence, so I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying this, he ignored Lin Sui and Sheng Yuan's reactions and rode away.
Such arrogance stems solely from the fact that the emperor's attendants regard him as their only family.
Sheng Yuan lowered the curtains and said gently, "It's no trouble at all."
Lin Sui was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was responding to what he had just said.
The carriage arrived at the palace just as the sun was about to set.
Just as Lin Sui was about to get out of the car, Sheng Yuan grabbed her hand.
Faced with the puzzled Lin Sui, Sheng Yuan smiled and said, "I will leave two secret guards for Your Majesty, An Wu and An Liu, to serve Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has anything you wish me to do, you can have them deliver the message."
"you……"
"It's only for Your Majesty's safety. They won't get too close to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please be careful in everything you do."
Then Sheng Yuan released his hand: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should rest early."
Lin Sui felt as if his hand was on fire, and his heart was pounding wildly.
Seeing his reddened ears and somewhat flustered back, Sheng Yuan curled his lips into a smile.
"Go home."
Sheng Yuan's voice had lost its gentleness towards him and returned to its coldness.
Back in his bedchamber, Lin casually summoned Xiao Shi, the loyal eunuch from his previous life, to serve him.
The eunuch Xiao Shi never expected that such a windfall would happen to him.
Having lost both his parents, he thought that taking ten taels of silver to his uncle would at least give him a home. However, his uncle lost money gambling and sold him into the palace to become a eunuch in order to pay off his debts. He had no connections and could only be a low-ranking eunuch. Because he was young and weak, he was often bullied.
Twelve years ago, when I was only ten years old, I was bullied and ostracized by the people in the palace. It was already cold in winter, and I didn't have any thick cotton clothes. In addition, I had been hungry for a day and a night and had done a lot of work. I fainted in front of the Cold Palace.
He was encountered by the emperor, who was only six years old and living in the cold palace at the time. The emperor took him back to the palace and warmed him by the fire. The two of them huddled around the emperor's only quilt and the emperor even gave him a chicken leg.
He remembered His Majesty saying in a childish voice, "Today is New Year's Day, we have to eat something good. I just stole these chicken legs. They're always so busy at times like this, they won't notice. Eat up!"
Consort Lan was sometimes lucid and sometimes insane. The fire was started by the wood that His Majesty had stored. At that time, His Majesty was wearing patched clothes.
His Majesty saved him, so in his eyes his life belonged to His Majesty. When he heard that His Majesty had ascended the throne, he was genuinely happy for him.
With his thoughts returning to normal, Xiao Shi quickly packed his things and went to Chengqian Hall to serve His Majesty.
At this moment, inside Chengqian Hall, Lin Sui dismissed all the servants.
"Dark Five, Dark Six..."
"His Majesty."
Two people suddenly appeared in front of Chengqian Hall.
"Go back now, and don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Lin Sui just wanted to confirm what he said.
Dark Five, Dark Six: ...
In an instant, the two disappeared.
After finishing his dinner, Lin Sui went to the Imperial Study.
It seems that Eunuch Wang has been forgotten.
Indeed, who would care about a useless chess piece?
The next day, morning.
Prime Minister Cao Yan suddenly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the imperial heir is the foundation of the nation. Your Majesty should establish an empress as soon as possible, expand the harem, and ensure the continuation of the imperial line."
Upon hearing these words, Sheng Yuan's face instantly darkened.
The system, Nuonuo, trembled in his mind's eye, silently lighting a candle for this person.
Upon hearing the words "establish an empress," Lin Sui couldn't help but recall the image of Sheng Yuan when he woke up yesterday, an image that lingered in his mind.
So he looked in his direction, but the indifferent face remained unchanged.
Somewhat lost.
I'm not happy!
(???︿???)
Although Sheng Yuan was in the first row, there were still quite a few steps between them. If he had gotten closer, he would have seen Sheng Yuan's downcast face and furrowed brows.
Although Sheng Yuan was already the Minister of War, Lin Sui still addressed him as General Xie.
"What are your thoughts on this, General Xie?"
