Chapter 38:The Wise Jinshi x The Obsessed Emperor 17

After a good while.

Lü Xiao covered Yún Huái’s mouth, dragging and pulling the man back to his own home.

Mainly because when he asked Yún Huái for his address, the other party couldn’t give an accurate answer. All that came out of his mouth were terms from various classics and philosophical works.

“Do not seek ill-gotten gains when facing wealth, do not seek to avoid danger when facing calamity…”

Back at the Lü residence, Lü Xiao looked helplessly at Yún Huái, who had a low alcohol tolerance but a never-stopping mouth, and could only urge the kitchen to quickly brew a sobering-up soup.

“Hurry, bring the sobering-up soup!”

The servant, hearing his young master’s voice, hurriedly brought over the freshly brewed soup.

“Young Master, it’s here, it’s here.”

Lü Xiao took the soup from the servant’s hand and was about to feed it to the endlessly chattering Yún Huái when he suddenly saw Yún Huái retreating to a corner.

“Smells bad, take it away…” Yún Huái frowned in disgust, looking at Lü Xiao with reluctance.

Lü Xiao grit his teeth, “You come here!”

Yún Huái shook his head rapidly, “No.”

Lü Xiao, holding the soup, walked to Yún Huái’s side, directly grabbing Yún Huái’s arms, ready to force-feed him the sobering-up soup.

“Drink it, and you’ll feel better.”

Yún Huái’s drunken eyes were slightly blurred, like a layer of mist covering them.

“Smells bad, won’t drink…”

Lü Xiao sneered, “Quickly drink it, stop dawdling.”

He had already listened to the other party recite poetry and songs all the way here; his ears were about to develop calluses. He couldn’t let Yún Huái continue to ramble on.

Yún Huái covered his mouth and shook his head, “Won’t drink.”

Lü Xiao was too lazy to waste any more words with him. He directly pulled open Yún Huái’s hands, thrust the soup bowl forward, and was about to feed the soup into Yún Huái’s mouth.

But Yún Huái bit down on Lü Xiao’s wrist, causing Lü Xiao to drop the bowl in his hand.

Lü Xiao ‘ow’-ed, urgently saying: “Yún Huái, let go quickly!!!”

“No…” Yún Huái bit Lü Xiao’s wrist, stubbornly refusing to let go.

The Minister of Rites and Qín Jìngchuān, among others, who were striding over, hearing these ambiguous words, had unusually complex and unsightly expressions on their faces.

The little man in the Minister of Rites’ heart screamed frantically: Ahhh, I’m going to die! Isn’t my son doing something inappropriate? It’s over, it’s over, the Lü family might be finished today!

Just as he was worrying about his whole family’s heads, Qín Jìngchuān strode forward and pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered, he saw a scene that darkened his eyes. The Minister of Rites’ good-for-nothing son was actually being bitten on the wrist by Yún Huái.

Qín Jìngchuān walked over with great strides, rescued Lü Xiao’s wrist from Yún Huái’s mouth, and then embraced the drunk, unrecognizable Yún Huái.

He stared deeply at Yún Huái, “Ā Huái, aren’t you forbidden from drinking outside?”

Yún Huái raised his eyes to meet his, his watery eyes sparkling and blurred, suddenly displaying a hint of captivating charm, even brighter than the roses outside the courtyard.

Seeing such a Yún Huái, a hint of agitation suddenly arose in Qín Jìngchuān’s heart, and his eyes took on a somewhat obscure and unpredictable look when he spoke again.

“Ā Huái, return to the palace with Zhèn.” (Zhèn is the formal, imperial “I”)

Yún Huái tilted his head and obediently allowed Qín Jìngchuān to hold him in his arms without resisting.

Lü Xiao, who had been pushed aside: ???

He was truly ignorant, not knowing anything about his friend Yún Huái and the Emperor’s affair.

The Minister of Rites, Lord Lü: It seems the heads of my entire family of hundreds are safe.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, grabbing his son’s arm, not allowing him to step forward again.

The father and son watched as the current Emperor, who held all the power, carried Yún Huái away. Only when the other party had gone far away did Lü Xiao, full of question marks, ask, “Father, what is the relationship between Yún Huái and His Majesty?”

Lord Lü wiped the sweat from his forehead, “What do you think! You good-for-nothing, Yún Huái is His Majesty’s beloved. How dare you bring him home?”

Lü Xiao opened his mouth wide in shock, “Beloved?!”

“His Majesty and Yún Huái are that kind of relationship?”

The current Emperor, who held all the power, and the newly appointed Number One Scholar, who was full of literary talent, were actually…

Lord Lü unceremoniously slapped his son’s forehead, angrily saying, “What nonsense are you imagining again!”

“Yún Huái is the Empress that His Majesty has acknowledged. The imperial edict to establish him as Empress has long been written, it’s just that it hasn’t been issued yet. He is not just any ordinary official.”

He couldn’t help but feel flustered whenever he thought of being summoned to the palace by His Majesty a few months ago to prepare for the establishment of the Empress. It was like carrying a bomb in his chest.

Lü Xiao was dumbfounded: “Empress!?”

His friend, the refined scholar who could spout poetry, was actually the future Empress!

Everyone, who understands!
