The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 92

The next morning, the entire empire was in an uproar with the news of the war minister's chief wife's affair with a lowly official. Everyone continued to talk about the news from the morning causing the court to be busier than usual.

Most of the opinions of the official asked that the Emperor remove the position of the perpetrator. Such an action completely tarnished the name and embarrassed the Palace.

Somehow Xie Hongyi felt a little pity for the An Family. The head of his family has been framed for arson and now his wife is accused of having an affair with one of the Palace officials.

But he was also curious, was it true that An Ziming's wife dared to be in love with an official who relied on the position of a woman? Xie Hongyi grew suspicious due to the fact that the man that Madam An was cheating on was Lan Xu.

Xie Hongyi thought so hard that his brows furrowed. But he kept feeding a piece of watermelon into his mouth. It is strange to eat watermelon in winter.

As he was thinking, Xie Hongyi did not realize that Huang Long had come near him. Even after the man sat down before him, Xie Hongyi did not budge and continued to sink into his thoughts.

Huang Long did not try to disturb Xie Hongyi. He looked at the woman with a fixed look.

Xie Hongyi's mind came to a realization as he sensed that someone was staring at him. He turned his head and found the figure of Huang Long sitting down.

Xie Hongyi suddenly stuttered when he looked at Huang Long. "Your Majesty?"

His heart skipped a beat, and his breath hunted a little. Xie Hongyi was shocked! Why did Huang Long not make a sound when he came?

Huang Long replied briefly. "Yes."

"You eat watermelon?"

"Yes. What does Your Majesty want?"

"No. Today it's not suitable to eat that fruit."

Hearing Huang Long's sarcasticity, Xie Hongyi showed his teeth. "Hehe."

"Are our preparations home finished?"

Coming home, that word made Huang Long fixated for a moment. Go home, which means they're going back to the South, their home. For some reason at the thought of that, Huang Long's ears unconsciously turned red.

Xie Hongyi was unaware of Huang Long's abnormality because he was focused on watermelon.

The system from earlier was very tempted by the watermelon fruit that Xie Hongyi ate. He asked for the fruit, yet Xie Hongyi was extremely stingy. The reason the woman said was that this watermelon was the last supply of autumn that Prince Yu had given her specially.

Out of annoyance, the system then bit Xie Hongyi's hand that was on the table. Xie Hongyi spontaneously shouted and pulled Huang Long's attention.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Hongyi shook his hands which on his skin was a toothbrush and was slightly bleeding. He then glared so much that his eyeballs almost popped out on the system.

Huang Long followed Xie Hongyi's gaze and was astonished. "Where did this fox come from?"

Xie Hongyi and the system simultaneously said, "Eh?"

The two of them turned their heads towards Huang Long, with confusion clearly drawn on the face.

Uh.... Uh.... Uh, why could Huang Long see the system?

***

Yin Tianrui was completely dizzy with what had happened lately. One by one the problems came, like a sudden rain. He did not mind if the matter only concerned some trivial matters as usual, but lately the problems that came more serious.

Officials also noticed something was wrong recently. With that they proposed that Yin Tianrui go to the temple to ask for blessings so that all the problems that occurred could be resolved.

This afternoon, Yin Tianrui was going to the temple which was at the foot of the mountain not far from the palace. It takes about four hours to get to the train. He also intended to stay the night, and ordered some eunuch servants to prepare his needs.

The news of the Emperor's departure to the temple to ask for blessings has spread to all corners of the palace. Some people gathered to talk about it.

Just like the backyard women do talking about this in a park where most of the plants there are covered in snow.

The garden happened to be traversed by Yin Tianrui who was about to go out. When Yin Tianrui passed by, she saw several concubines seen gathering, including Consort Lan. Her appearance was still beautiful as usual, yet only she knew this morning she was wearing more powder to cover her pale face. Last night when the dream ended, he could not sleep anymore, causing the effect on his skin to become dull.

This morning she also heard the news, but remained calm thinking her brother would not do such a foolish thing. She was also in a bad mood due to being annoyed with the other concubines who talked about her brother's ugliness. But, he stayed in the palace not for a while, which is why he knew how to deal with these dirty-mouthed concubines by silence. He tried not to care what others said about his brother and himself.

"It looks like you guys are having fun."

Like a moth approaching a fire, when Yin Tianrui finished speaking, the concubines then swarmed over him.

"Your Majesty, did we hear that you were going to visit the temple?"

"Did His Majesty go to ask for blessings?"

"Will Your Majesty bring one of us to accompany you?"

Seeing the others who took action first, Consort Lan panicked a little. When there was a concubine who spoke the last sentence, she did not think much and immediately spoke loudly. "Your Majesty, can I come?"

The mood suddenly became quiet. The concubines who spoke earlier became silent and stared at Consort Lan. They stared at Consort Lan in shock, but a second later the gaze was replaced with scorn.

The other concubine whispered. "Is he shameless? Why would he ask His Majesty to go with him?"

"really. If I were him, I'd probably hang myself."

"Didn't her sister do such a shameful act? Why does he still dare to act?"

"Truly shameless."

On the surface, the relationship of the king's wives looks like harmonious sisters, but anyone knows that they are competing secretly to rise to a higher position. Sometimes, the methods used are quite extreme, by killing or slandering each other.

Concubine Lan was speechless hearing the ridicule and ridicule from the other concubines, but her heart was burning hot. Damn, the groups of****** will receive the consequences!

When he heard Concubine Lan's voice, Yin Tianrui became annoyed. He felt the beginning of all the trouble came from him. Yin Tianrui said coldly. "You better stay quiet. Your punishment hasn't been decided yet, so you better not go anywhere."

There was a faint sounding stifled laughter.

Consort Lan's face instantly lost all of her blood. He did not expect that His Highness who had always indulged him would ruthlessly reject him!

A good opportunity has come, and of course no one will want to waste it. Like, one of the concubines standing near Yin Tianrui. "Then, can I accompany His Majesty away? It just so happens that the next few days are the anniversary of my father's death."

Yin Tianrui looked at the person talking to her. She was one of the concubines she raised last year. Her face was pretty, and she had a pretty strong family background.

Yin Tianrui thought for a while, then he replied, "Alright."

Consort Lan clasped her hands tightly so that her long nails made her palms bleed. The blood from his hand dripped onto the snow, making the red dot become like a stain.

Not only Consort Lan, but several other concubines also felt angry. They regretted why they did not speak first with Yin Tianrui.

Some dared to ask themselves to come along. "Your Majesty, can I come too?"

Yin Tianrui's voice sounded flat without emotion. "You're silent in the palace."

Of course he knew these women were trying to attract his attention. And, Yin Tianrui was free to choose who would obtain it.

"Wait for Your Majesty, I also want to go to the temple to pray for my brother!"

Seeing Yin Tianrui who was about to leave, Consort Lan shouted. He did not want to lose the opportunity to repair his relationship with Yin Tianrui!

However, Consort Lan got an unexpected response from Yin Tianrui..

Yin Tianrui looked at Consort Lan coldly, like freezing ice. "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Consort Lan voiced out quietly. "I heard."

Consort Lan lowered her head as she spoke. He did not dare to look into Yin Tianrui's eyes like he wanted to not see her. Concubine Lan was also afraid of Yin Tianrui who now felt foreign.

Right now, he realized that his relationship with Yin Tianrui was starting to crack.

Without saying any more words, Yin Tianrui immediately went to step followed by the concubine who was going to the temple with him.
