YM778.TV Chapter 205 - ADD
But since she was kicking him out Zhai Tianyu did not want to stay any further, he walked out of the room and then rubbed his throat which was still aching a little because of the grip that Liu Hui Ying had on his throat just a few minutes ago.
” I hope that I will not regret this,” he muttered as he rubbed his throat with his fingers as he looked at the wooden wall in front of him hard. It was as if he would be able to see the future in the wall in front of him if he glared hard at the wall and he did try to glare at the wall with a pointed glare but then he sighed and then rubbed his face with the back of his palms. He was going to regret this, he knew it in his heart but even now he did not want to call the guards because he did not want to kill an innocent woman again.
…
” What did you say?” Ji Yu dropped the paintbrush that she was holding in her hand and then turned to look at her maid, her eyes blinked rapidly as she looked at Xiaolin. She shook her head as she placed her hands on her ears and then rubbed them hard before she turned to look at Xiaolin and asked, ” What did you say, Xiaolin? Can you repeat that for me, please?”
Xiaolin hesitated, she did not want to tell something like this to her mistress but they did not dare to hide it from mistress after all, even if she was to keep the truth from concubine Ji, she will find it from others. This was the reason why he heaved a breath and then replied with a soft voice, ” The maids of the kitchen were talking about how they saw the Emperor carrying a man in his arms, this news is all over the palace ever since the morning and the maids are having quite a thrilling time while discussing the matter.”
She paused and then licked her lips before she continued speaking, ” I have punished them by sending the head eunuch to the kitchen but I don’t think that this matter will rest that easily. Missy, did you know about this ….this fantasy of his majesty.”
” Xiaolin! Watch what you say!” Ji Yu snapped at Xiaolin asking her to not say anything nonsensical, when Xiaolin heard Ji Yu’s admonishing voice, she lowered her head and did not say anything to her missy anymore but at the same time, she thought about how she has heard the gossip from the maids and could not help but sigh for her missy. If the Emperor was interested in men then there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
Ji Yu was thinking along the same line as well, even though she scolded Xiaolin she was lost in her thoughts, she did not want the Emperor to be interested in other women but that did not mean that she wanted him to get interested in another man!
As she thought about the gossip that she has just heard from Xiaolin, she immediately turned to pick up the teacup from the table that was sitting beside her and then drowned the cold tea in her mouth in one single sip. She then clutched the cup in her hands with both her hands as she pursed her lips and then looked at Xiaolin who was kneeling on the floor silently.
.....
She waited for a while before hesitatingly asking, ” A..Are you sure that the man in the rumours is the Emperor.” She did not want the Emperor to be interested in a man, with the women of the harem, she could still fight, she still had a chance but if the Emperor was to fall for a man then how was she supposed to fight against a man?
Ji Yu was hoping that Xiaolin will tell her that she was just joking or that the rumours that were flying around the imperial palace were nothing but rumours without any base but then she heard Xiaolin say, ” I speak the truth, your highness, the gossip is that two maids saw the Emperor carrying a man in his arms.”
‘ carrying in his arms? Tianyu hasn’t even carried her in his arms! Even when she twisted her ankle, he left her alone and then waited for the eunuch of the palace to come and pick her up!’ Ji Yu never thought that she will feel upset over a man and that too in a way where she will be jealous of him! She bit her lips and smacked her hands on the table as she hurled the teacup in the air and smashed it into bits.
Xiaolin flinched in surprise but before she could say anything, she heard a sound of a dog crying. She looked left and right in wonder, thinking about where the sound of a puppy crying was coming from but then she noticed that the sound of puppy woe was coming from the front. Surprised she turned to look at her front and was stunned when she saw that her missy was ugly crying with her face scrunched up and snot with tears trickling down her cheeks and nostrils.
” Your highness please do not cry like this!” You will scare someone if you continue to cry in this ugly way. Xiaolin however was smart enough and did not to say the following words but she still couldn’t help but pick up a handkerchief from the table as she wiped Ji Yu’s face with the white handkerchief. ” You don’t need to act like this just because his majesty had always been with you hasn’t he? Surely he must adore you, your highness.”
” If he adores me then why does he not look for me in the night? I thought he was speaking the truth when he said that he did not want to have kids but now I am incapable of having one but he still does not come looking for me at the night, don’t you think that there is something wrong with him?” Ji Yu cried even more loudly when she thought about how she was being ignored by the Emperor because of a man.
