Chapter 46
There were three breathing sounds in the bedroom, one rapid, one steady, and one suppressed.
Xue Yu's face was so pale that it made people feel distressed, and his eyes were moist, as if tears would come out at any moment. He seemed unable to believe that the emperor would actually ask such a dirty question.
After waiting for several seconds, the little mermaid didn't say anything, just stared at him, wanting to cry but not crying. Yunkang licked his tongue and looked out through the crown: "...Don't cry, just because I asked a question?"
Not only did you ask, you took action!
Xue Yu's fingertips were digging the edge of the bucket tightly, and his cheeks flushed. He looked so angry that he was about to have a heart attack that it was impossible to ignore him. Even his expression was accusing: "I really underestimated how shameless you are. You can even ask such a question. You are worthy of being the emperor of mankind."
As if he could not hear the sarcastic tone in his words, Yunkang raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's my first time seeing a mermaid, so I can't help being a little curious. If you don't like it, I won't ask next time."
Xue Yu scratched the barrel again: "On our first meeting, you can lie to me, you can pick my bones in front of me, you can ask me questions that even a three-year-old child knows shouldn't be asked. Your first time was too good. What are you going to do next?"
It can be said that every word was full of sarcasm. The mocked Human Emperor was silent for a few seconds, then stood up instead of squatting. Xue Yu thought he was going to do something to him, but he took a small thing from the side and put it on Xue Yu's palm.
It was a red sandalwood sculpture, with square and round shapes, fine texture, and very skillfully carved. The little mermaid stared blankly at the sculpture, then raised his head and asked, "What does it mean?"
Yunkang looked at him dimly: "Apology, to the first merman of Daxin Kingdom."
Xue Yu frowned uncomfortably.
There are some two-faced people in this world who can stab someone in the back one second and be open-hearted to them the next. This is the feeling Yunkang gives him now.
He was holding the wooden sculpture, and before he opened his mouth, a weathered figure rushed in. The eunuch bowed to Yunkang and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, General Liang wants to see you."
Xue Yu's expression changed along with Yunkang's.
General Liang, this character plays a very important role in the original book. He is one of the few honest and upright officials in the court. He is not even sixty years old and his hair is gray, half of which is due to his worries. He takes care of things that Yunkang doesn't care about, and he also interferes in things that Yunkang takes care of.
Yunkang sighed: "Said I'm not here."
The eunuch scratched his cheek, looking embarrassed: "I have used this excuse to get rid of him, but I can't get rid of him. General Liang said that he saw you enter the bedroom with his own eyes. He has plenty of time today and can wait for Your Majesty."
Yunkang knew that he couldn't avoid it, and his eyes were deep: "What is he going to do this time?"
The eunuch recalled the old general's imposing manner and repeated his words without missing a word: "He said he wanted to discuss with Your Majesty about strengthening the military defense in the south."
The crown tassels swayed slightly, and Yunkang unexpectedly let go of his robe. He still sat on the throne of the emperor, and no matter how much he didn't want to worry about other people's business, he had to deal with the old general who had been loyal for generations. Yunkang glanced at the little merman in the bucket, rolled up his sleeves, and strode out with the eunuch.
