Beauty and the Bodyguard

Seeing Lin Yi's breath getting closer and closer, Emperor Zhou became more and more restless, rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth.

"Rebellion! Rebellious! This person is really rebelling! Without my summons, he actually dared to break into the Emperor's Palace!"

Hou Chuang reminded helplessly: "Your Majesty, he holds the position of head of the Security Review Department. According to regulations, he has the right to enter the palace at any time to report matters."

Emperor Zhou choked for a moment, then his mind changed and he said, "That's it. If you go to stop him, just say that I am ill today and it is not convenient to see him."

"..."

Hou Chuang couldn't help but want to hold his forehead.

In any case, you are also the Emperor of Zhou, the nominal head of the inner court. What does it mean to pretend to be sick and hide from a foreign minister?

The puppet emperor had little prestige to begin with, but with his many operations, he had managed to gain some sense of presence for him.

It was already embarrassing enough for Yeyang Palace to escape before the battle. If he did it again today, it would be equivalent to all his previous efforts being wasted. From now on, no one will really take this puppet emperor seriously.

Hou Chuang could only advise: "Your Majesty, don't panic. Lin Yi is at the forefront of the storm. Unless he is really stupid, he will never do anything to Your Majesty at this time."

Emperor Zhou: "Do you really believe in his character?"

Hou Chuang smiled bitterly: "I believe in his brain."

There was something he was embarrassed to say. Even if Lin Yi really wanted to do something now, he would never choose to attack you, a puppet emperor in name only.

After all, apart from being a mess, there is really no benefit at all.

Sometimes, being weak is a good thing.

Emperor Zhou was doubtful, but after Hou Chuang's earnest advice, he finally did not run away again.

Lin Yi came in.

Zhou Tianzi subconsciously stood up nervously. Hou Chuang coughed and signaled. Only then did Zhou Tianzi react and sat down angrily.

Before Lin Yi could raise his hands and salute, Emperor Zhou spoke first: "Lin Aiqing meets you, and you don't know why?"

Lin Yi glanced at him: "Your Majesty, you really don't know?"

Zhou Tianzi's body suddenly froze and he looked at Hou Chuang for help.

In his opinion, Lin Yi's statement meant that he was asking for punishment. He was forcing him to kowtow and apologize!

Hou Chuang frowned: "Your Majesty and your ministers are right, please pay attention to your manners, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yi turned to look at him with a calm expression: "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

An ordinary sentence, but the invisible oppression emanating from him actually made Hou Chuang's scalp numb, and his heart immediately stirred up a storm.

He is also a person who has seen the big world. After seeing the scene in Yeyang Palace, he already expected that Lin Yi was unfathomable, but he really didn't expect that Lin Yi would be so unfathomable!

This kind of invisible oppression has caught up with the famous old monsters in the inner court.

Where does this guy come from?

"waste."

Seeing that Hou Chuang remained silent, Emperor Zhou cursed secretly. He thought that Hou Chuang was very smart, but he turned out to be a coward.

Lin Yi turned to look at Emperor Zhou again: "I heard that your majesty summoned my people into the palace, but there is no sign of them so far, so I came to take a look and ask your majesty to bring them out."

Emperor Zhou was stunned for a long time and asked blankly: "Who is it?"

Hou Chuang reacted and reminded in a low voice: "Yesterday the queen summoned Cheng Shuang'er into Fengyi Hall."

"ha?"

Emperor Zhou's expression suddenly changed: "Is the queen also involved?"

Lin Yi said bluntly: "I, Yeyang Palace, still have many things waiting for Miss Cheng to come back to preside over. If Your Majesty is willing, please bring them out. If Your Majesty is not willing, then I can only go to Fengyi Palace."

"presumptuous!"

Emperor Zhou immediately jumped to his feet: "Fengyi Palace is the residence of the queen, and no foreign ministers are allowed to approach it!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but look at him strangely.

I was so scared that I peed my pants just now, why did you react so suddenly now?

Next to him, Hou Chuang had a strange look on his face. As Emperor Zhou's most trusted minister, he knew a little bit about why Emperor Zhou reacted this way.

However, even he is a bit embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing.

Lin Yi frowned and said, "As long as Your Majesty brings my people out, I don't have to go to Fengyi Hall."

In his impression, although Emperor Zhou had nothing outstanding, he could not be said to be lewd and lustful. The queen who lived deep in Fengyi Palace had never had any sense of existence. There was no need to get angry just by mentioning her, right?

"this……"

Emperor Zhou was immediately stumped.

He didn't know why the queen summoned Cheng Shuang'er, but he absolutely refused to let him go against the queen.

Lin Yi asked strangely: "Could it be that your majesty cannot be the queen's master?"

Emperor Zhou looked embarrassed.

Lin Yi nodded: "In that case, I can only go and get the people myself."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhou jumped up again and shouted: "Lin Yi, don't bully me too much! If it's other things, I'll tolerate it, but if you dare to blaspheme the queen, then don't blame me for being dead!"

Veins popped up on his forehead, his eyes were wide open with anger, and they were all bloodshot due to excitement.

Lin Yi was slightly surprised, seeing that this posture was really not a bluff?

He was really curious now.

What is the origin of that queen that makes a coward like Emperor Zhou so desperate?

"Somebody come!"

Emperor Zhou shouted angrily, and a group of masters of the Imperial Guard immediately filed in and surrounded Lin Yi.

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth curled up: "Your Majesty, are you planning to capture me?"

Hou Chuang was very anxious when he saw this.

These guards are the few real trump cards in the hands of Emperor Zhou. They are indeed very powerful, but the problem is that it depends on who the opponent is!

If it was Lin Yi a year ago, he could have been defeated by relying on these guards.

But facing Lin Yi now, it is no exaggeration to say that these people alone can't even whet his appetite.

Hou Chuang hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, think twice! Your Majesty, think twice!"

Emperor Zhou finally recovered a little from the state above, and he couldn't help but feel trapped when he saw this scene.

He was not only afraid that these guards would be defeated by Lin Yi. If Lin Yi was really angered by this, Lin Yi would just go all out. It was probably unknown whether he, the puppet emperor, could survive today.

He couldn't afford to gamble.

But since it was about the queen, he really didn't want to give in.

The queen was his forbidden love that he would never allow anyone to touch. If Lin Yi was allowed to break into Fengyi Palace today, he would rather turn the world upside down than be a puppet emperor!

Now, Lin Yi became more curious about the queen.

Hou Chuang suggested in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to Fengyi Palace to inform the queen of the matter? As long as the person is brought out, everything will be fine."

This was the most ready-made solution, but the Emperor Zhou was stumped.
