The man in black sneered and said, “Our master said that you’ve been doing very well lately, so we are now changing our strategy. Your task right now is to win the trust of that bastard emperor and…”
He bent down and whispered something in the ear of Helian Chacha.
The man in black took out a pill and threw it on the bed.
“This is the antidote you need. Don’t let the master down!” The man in black said that while staring at her, and then disappeared.
Looking at the antidote, Helian Chacha had so complicated feelings welling up in her heart.
Ye Shengxuan was such a moody person who had some kind of fetish for young eunuchs. She never wanted to be with Ye Shengxuan at all!
But this was the order from her boss!
Helian Chacha swallowed the antidote and then left the bed.
Since Helian Chacha felt quite upset, she decided to go out for a walk. However, she bumped into Ye Shengxuan who was passing her room on his imperial chariot when she opened the door.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!” While she was greeting him, Helian Chacha was about to kneel down.
“Lin Dagou, you saved my life last night and that was your credit, so you don’t need to serve me any time soon. Just have a rest for a couple of days now.” Ye Shengxuan said in an elegant and decent way as if he never lost control of himself last night.
The eunuch standing next to him stopped Helian Chacha from kneeling down right at the moment. Helian Chacha thanked him with her head lowered, so she didn’t notice the profound look in the eyes of Ye Shengxuan.
“Thank you so much for your appreciation and it was absolutely my honor to serve you as a eunuch. I have almost recovered, so you don’t need to worry about me, Your Majesty.”
Ye Shengxuan nodded and checked the courtyard. Noticing that Helian Chacha was keeping her head down, he suddenly asked, “But, everything had been fine last night, how come there was a snake in my bedroom?”
Helian Chacha was shocked and then stuttered, “Your Majesty, well… I am not very sure about it. But since it’s summer now, I think it’s common to see all kinds of insects and snakes, or mice and ants and so on.”
Ye Shengxuan nodded reluctantly. Seeing that he was not fully convinced, Helian Chacha started sweating on her forehead.
After all these days spent with Ye Shengxuan, Helian Chacha knew clearly that although he always looked very calm, this emperor was actually very brutal and moody, who changed his mind so easily like a child. That’s why she still couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
“But, Lin Dagou, please tell me, is it possible that there is someone who wants to kill me on purpose?”
Hearing that, Helian Chacha was suddenly scared and she could feel that her back was sweating.
She opened her mouth and said, “Your Majesty, in the whole world, it is a capital crime to murder the emperor! No one dares to do that!”
“But there are always some reckless people who try so hard to kill me. If there are such kind of people, Lin Dagou, what do you think I should do with them?”
Ye Shengxuan looked at Helian Chacha from above, and Helian Chacha didn’t even notice that she was trembling.
“It is a major crime to assassinate the emperor, and one shall be beheaded according to our laws!” Helian Chacha kneeled down to the ground as she knew that with such an obvious suggestion from Ye Shengxuan, she would be dead if she continued pretending innocent.
“Your Majesty! I have been very loyal to you and I never wanted to serve anyone else. Please trust me, Your Majesty!” Helian Chacha kowtowed heavily.
Ye Shengxuan sneered. He looked really powerful and noble with the yellow gown, plus that angular and expressionless face, all had to hold their breaths in front of such a cold person.
Helian Chacha remained silent as she dared not to guess the opinions and intentions of Ye Shengxuan. He never followed the routine and people felt frightened because of his treacherous mind.
“Get up.”
“Thank you so much, Your Majesty!” Helian Chacha finally felt relieved. Although she didn’t know why Ye Shengxuan suddenly forgave her, she kept her life, and that was the most important thing right now.
Ye Shengxuan returned to the Yangxin Hall where Shiao Qi had been waiting there for a long time.
Looking that Ye Shengxuan was going in, Shiao Qi went to him and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, you told me to keep an eye on Lin Dagou secretly and I saw someone entering his room this morning…”
“The man in black gave Lin Dagou a pill and then left. I was planning to arrest him but the man in black was really a Kung Fu master so I failed to catch him. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!” Shiao Qi was about to kneel down while saying so.
Ye Shengxuan stopped him with his hand, “Then did Lin Dagou say anything?”
“Not really. I think maybe those people gave him super strong poison and forced Lin Dagou to kill you. Or he wouldn’t save you so many times.”
If that was the case, then all the weirdness made sense as Lin Dagou tried to kill and save him at the same time.
The man in yellow gown fell into his thoughts and nodded, while his slim fingers were tapping the table, “It might not be that simple. As for Lin Dagou, just keep watching him.”
“Yes!”
Meanwhile, Helian Chacha didn’t know that she had been under surveillance already and she was right on her way to the Yangxin Hall.
“Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin is waiting to meet you.”
Ye Shengxuan was just thinking about it and now Lin Dagou was here. He waved his hand and said, “Let him in.”
Helian Chacha walked into the hall carefully and saw a mess on the floor. She felt that probably she just bumped into some kind of trouble here.
Helian Chacha pulled herself together and bowed to Ye Shengxuan, “I am so flattered and I dare not to be lazy. I have almost recovered, so I want to serve you with my little effort as soon as possible, Your Majesty.”
The handsome man had one of his hands pressing on the table, and he lifted his eyebrows after hearing that, “Little effort? Since you are so hurried, then you can just stay here.”
“Come here and help me with the ink.”
As he was saying, Ye Shengxuan already picked up the brush on the table.
Helian Chacha started to grind the ink bar and fell into her thoughts.
The man in black told her to poison Ye Shengxuan with chronic drugs, and that was a long-term job that required her to get the trust of this bastard emperor.
But how should she put it into action specifically…
“Do I look good?”
Ye Shengxuan asked her all of a sudden and that made Helian Chacha really shocked. She finally realized that she had been staring at Ye Shengxuan in a trance.
So she cleared up her mind and kneeled down on the floor, starting to slap herself in the face.
“Your Majesty! I was just being absent-minded and it was all my bad!”
With just a few slaps, her tender and white little cheeks started to turn red.
The emperor stared at her with his cold eyes and asked in his freezing voice later, “Had you not saved my life several times, you would have been totally dead right now.”
Helian Chacha had a thrill and then apologized immediately, “It’s all my fault, my fault! Please calm down, Your Majesty. You will hurt yourself with the rage…”
Ye Shengxuan looked at Helian Chacha with his cold eyes only to see that he got ink all over his body. So he hummed and swung his sleeves to turn around.
“Take your punishment.”
“Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty.” Helian Chacha stood up immediately and stepped out of the hall carefully with her body bowed down.
“Then I am leaving!”
It was absolutely right that serving the emperor was like tightrope walking, and Helian Chacha was now qualified enough to say that.
“Did I tell you to leave?” There came the gloomy and furious voice again. Ye Shengxuan stared at Helian Chacha with his cold eyes, and his eyes became deeper when he noticed the red prints of fingers on her white cheeks.
The man in black sneered and said, “Our master said that you’ve been doing very well lately, so we are now changing our strategy. Your task right now is to win the trust of that bastard emperor and…”
He bent down and whispered something in the ear of Helian Chacha.
