The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 58

Empress Shi turned her glass with her thumb. He was sitting in his residence, seemingly waiting for someone.

A man entered without knocking on the door. The man wore a robe of thick fox skin, and had a handsome face but his eyes looked very cold.

The man then sat down in front of the Empress.

Empress Shi looked at the man who was taking tea carefully. The man's movements looked very graceful.

"Why did you call me here?"

Empress Shi stopped playing her cup. "You and I are sure you're going to do this?"

The man knows what he means. "of course. It is unlikely that plans for several years will be cancelled. Wh why? You want to tell the Emperor?" The man did not worry the same if Empress Shi really did. Over the years, the power he had amassed to stage a coup was enough to bring down Huang Long. Most of the officials in the Palace also supported him.

All of this he did carefully and carefully. He was sure, if he was found out right now that would not be a problem. He was also tired of pretending for the past few years.

All this time it was planned. It was they who arranged for Huang Long to become Emperor. But it turned out that they could not make Huang Long a puppet Emperor. Therefore, they decided to get rid of Huang Long and replace him with someone they could control.

"But, now the Emperor knew there were people who were abusing tribute. If he manages to figure out who it is, won't you be in trouble?"

The man showed a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"He didn't know the regional leaders had already sent his strength to us. So if they get caught, let it go. They're no use to me."

Empress Shi asked once more. "You don't want to reconsider?"

The next words were spoken by the man coldly. "You already know the answer."

"When this Kingdom succeeds in my favor, you will remain Empress." Empress Shi was not happy to hear that. Because when that happens, they'll get her married to a man she doesn't love, again.

The man got up and suddenly took off his robe. Empress Shi looked at the man questioningly. Yet by the time she finally found out, Empress Shi's face flushed red and she looked misbehaved.

"It's winter and you're still wearing thin clothes." The man put his robe on the Empress. After he finished, the selfless man left from there.

After the man left, Empress Shi decided to go to her room while tightening the robe that wrapped her body.

Xie Hongyi and Huang Long were now under Empress Shi's bed.

The room was filled with furniture made of clay that was formed into beautiful objects. Most of the patterns painted from those objects were phoenixes. The style of decoration is also very neat and looks very luxurious and beautiful.

Huang Long had already been here frequently for some affairs, of course familiar and knew who the owner of the room was. "The room is bigger and more luxurious than mine." Xie Hongyi muttered which of course sounded in Huang Long's ears.

The corner of the man's eyes twitched. When he heard Xie Hongyi's words, he felt that he was a husband who failed to prosper his wife.

They both tried to get up to get out from under the bed. But at this moment, the sudden sound of footsteps and shock made Huang Long and Xie Hongyi growl in fog.

Xie Hongyi's head was hit by the wooden bed as he tried to hide under it again. Huang Long then stroked Xie Hongyi's head silently.

It turned out that the person who came was the owner of the room, Empress Shi. Xie Hongyi and Huang Long watched Empress Shi's every footstep from below. They heard Empress Shi's voice. "Ah Yi come here and help me to undress." Not long after, the voice of a young girl was heard. "Good Empress."

When Empress Shi's clothing cloth fell down, Xie Hongyi closed Huang Long's eyes with his palm. He could feel Huang Long's eyelashes twitching.

Xie Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief as his hand managed to break free. He then raised his reddened hand stepped on by the Empress. Seeing his hand slightly injured, Huang Long took Xie Hongyi's hand and rubbed it. Xie Hongyi looked at Huang Long sadly.

Because karma happens. Now Xie Hongyi was experiencing the same thing as what had happened to Xiao Zhang.

After waiting for Empress Shi to fall asleep, Huang Long and Xie Hongyi slowly tried to rise without a sound.

The body of the system trembled as it looked at a robe lying on the side of the Empress's bed. Xie Hongyi who was aware of the system abnormality, cherished him as if he were a blessing: Look, if you dare to mess with me, I will make you so.

System vibrates more powerful.

The two of them were finally able to get out of the Empress residence by sneaking around. At the time they were outside, Xie Hongyi asked. "Your Majesty, does Empress Shi know that under her bed is the exit from the secret room."

"She doesn't know."

"Then what are we going to do?"

Huang Long replied subconsciously. "Sleep with Zhen."

Xie Hongyi was glued. He with a stupid look said. "Huh? What's?"

The system said cheerfully. "Consideration! The mission has been triggered. Can't refuse the protagonist's orders."

The woman had no other choice.

Xie Hongyi and Huang Long slept with their backs to each other. Their bodies were both covered with a silk blanket that was very delicate and soft to the touch.

Actually, the one who felt uncomfortable was only Huang Long. Although this was not the first time they slept together, but at the first time, they did it unconsciously. She did not know why she asked Xie Hongyi to sleep with her.

Xie Hongyi thought of some of the things that happened today. "Your Majesty, about your poison, I will try to find an antidote." He then continued. "You just have to figure out how to figure out who misused the money."

Huang Long did not reply. Knowing that, Xie Hongyi turned around and instantly his gaze stared at Huang Long's back.

He shifted his body closer to Huang Long and tried to see his face. Apparently, the man had already closed his eyes. Xie Hongyi decided to go to sleep and not bother him anymore.

Huang Long opened his eyes when Xie Hongyi. He quietly raised the corner of his mouth.

When it was morning, the sky looked extremely overcast and countless snowflakes were falling.

Xie Hongyi opened his eyes upon hearing the voices of the people outside the room. He was a little surprised because when he woke up, because the first thing he saw was Huang Long's face that looked more handsome when asleep.

He slowly put away Huang Long's hand wrapped around his body. Then he left before anyone came and saw him.

Xie Hongyi wryly thought of where he should be now. He doesn't want to do setsubun anymore. But of course he has to go. Not to mention the death of the concubines has not been revealed. He may be punished for failing to carry out the mission. "Calm down, this mission is not limited to time. So you can investigate after you get out." The system said while knowing Xie Hongyi's thoughts.

Xie Hongyi was relieved. "Then open the portal again. We're back at the Yinyang temple."
