My Devil Emperor
Other Meaning

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? You excited?"

ZiXuan turned around and smiled at the person in front of him. "I didn't do it. Wasn't Xiao Li the one who told me to rest?"

"That word of yours, I no longer believe it. If there's no business, I'll be back." Yuan had just turned around, but the man walked quickly in front.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty is thirsty. Pour tea for me."

Yuan took a deep breath and smiled forcefully. "Good."

"Xiao Li, what do you think they came here for?" tanya ZiXuan started a conversation.

Shrugging his shoulders, Yuan replied, "Isn't it to ask the Qiu family?"

ZiXuan looked at the girl in front of him. He shook his hand and said, "Alright, you can go."

"All right, Your Majesty. Thank You!" Without waiting for a response from the man, Yuan immediately covered before ZiXuan changed his mind.

Today was very tiring, at least let him rest first!

"Sir, you've come." The voice was welcoming when he had just set foot in his courtyard.

Jingli and Yunniang walked quickly over to Yuan.

"Empress, guest from the kingdom of Liang—"

"I know, there's no need to say it. Ahh, I'm so tired! You two, don't bother me for now, okay?" cut off Yuan and immediately walk towards his room.

"But—"

"Sister Jingli, it looks like we should let the empress rest first. Since the empress said she already knew, perhaps the empress had also met the guest from Liang. Don't worry," Yunniang said as he patted Jingli's shoulder.

"Mn, okay."

Elsewhere, ZiXuan who was sitting reading some documents in his reading room interrupted the sound of footsteps coming in.

"What's wrong?" ask without lifting my face. Of course he knew clearly who the person standing in front of him was even without looking.

The man in front of him lowered his head and said, "Master Princess Liang asked for permission to meet you."

"Don't I already say that I don't want to be disturbed right now?"

"Princess Liang Rong said, she is willing to wait for His Majesty until your work is done."

ZiXuan let out a slow breath. His hand folded the documents and stood up. "It's very distressing," he murmured softly.

He walked ahead of Li Wei and met a girl who was already standing in front of the door.

Seeing the handsome man with a tired face standing in front of him, Liang Rong moved forward.

ZiXuan retreated his steps and said, "What business is it until Princess Liang Rong comes here?"

Liang Rong felt slightly embarrassed, her beautiful face flushed red and she immediately lowered her head.

"That, Ying'er mei—"

"There's nothing I can do. If you want to meet them, just die."

"Pffs"

ZiXuan glanced at the cynical man next to him.

Li Wei cleared his throat slowly and straightened his expression again.

"If there's nothing else, don't bother me!" ZiXuan was about to turn around, but the slow pull at the end of his sleeve made him stop.

Noticing ZiXuan's sharp gaze, Liang Rong hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "I—I made you some snacks." He thrust out the basket that was in his other hand with an increasingly reddened face.

"Thank you" he said back into the reading room.

Li Wei took the basket that Liang Rong had brought.

"Mr Princess, please get back to rest. Excuse me." Li Wei lowered his head before turning around following ZiXuan's footsteps and closing the door.

Li Wei placed the basket on a table not far from ZiXuan's seat.

"Bring it back."

"What?"

"I don't eat it, you just give it to someone else."

Li Wei nodded in understanding and smiled. "It seems that you can understand your food tastes only imperial chefs, Empress Dowager and Empress only," he said slowly.

Despite being confused at his last command, Li Wei still took the long golden-coloured robe and left immediately.

Who doesn't know, behind that friendly looking handsome face is a dark figure inside.

A cold-blooded and ruthless man on the battlefield, mysterious, and cunning it's all him.

ZiXuan stared at the closed door, his head lowered with a hand grabbing the handle of the drawer under his desk.

The drawer was open, showing a white paper roll. He took it and opened it.

His lips flashed a faint smile and quietly said, "Who are you really?"

***

Yuan was asleep when Jingli suddenly walked into his room.

"Yes, put me there."

The girl woke up and looked at several people including Jingli from the separating bulkhead.

Yuan walked slowly and looked at the people with questioning looks.

The servants lowered their heads and greeted Yuan while Jingli walked over.

"What's wrong?"

Turning to Yuan's gaze, Jingli replied, "Ah, this is the dress for the celebration of the Chuxi festival. Her Majesty ordered this palace maid to escort her to the Empress's residence."

Yuan frowned. It turns out this is the turn of the year night. It was only fitting that these few days he noticed that people looked even busier.

"Empress, is there anything needed?" The voice pulled itself from the daydream. Yuan immediately shook his head while saying, "No. There's no."

"Sir, do you want dinner now?" ask Jingli.

Yuan turned his head and realized it was dark. "Yes. But I'll cook it myself."

Hearing that, Jingli's countenance turned slightly exaggerated. "Your Majesty the Empress is still tired, it's better for the servant to cook it for you."

"none. Brother, why is your face like that? Is anyone bluffing you?"

"Ahaha, Nothing."

Yuan narrowed his eyes, suspicious. "You said. Why can't I cook in the imperial kitchen?"

Looking back, Jingli said, "You guys go first."

The servants who came with him lowered their heads and immediately left from there.

Jingli turned back to face Yuan. "You are the queen."

"Then why? Is the palace kitchen a place I can't enter?"

"No, it's not that. Since you are empress, your position is very special. Cooking is a subordinate's job."

"It doesn't make sense." Yuan was about to leave Jingli, but was stopped by the woman.

"The Empress, actually the first time you cooked, the palace butler reprimanded me for letting you cook. However, your status has changed since you first set foot here. Please the Empress follow the rules," he explained, bowing.

Yuan was silent for a while, before returning to say, "Alright, you get out of my sight."

"Where will the Empress go?"

"To meet His Majesty the Emperor."

"Why are you there?"

"Should there be a reason to meet my husband? Brother, don't talk anymore. Let me go, okay??" Afterwards Yuan immediately left from Jingli's presence before the girl again stopped.

Not long after, Yuan had already arrived at the Qin Palace, the Emperor's residence. He entered without anyone daring to stop him.

"Your Majesty," he called as soon as he entered the room with dim lighting.

He slowed his pace when he saw Zi Xuan lying on the bed.

'Is he asleep? It's not too late, ' he thought.

If you look around, this man when sleeping like an innocent person.

Unknowingly, Yuan crouched down and stared inside that peaceful face. His outstretched hand touched ZiXuan's thick eyebrows.

Suddenly his body turned around and his position had already turned around.

"It's so nice to see me fall asleep?"
