The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 48-49

Chapter 48: Scheming

Wen Yijin thought it was normal. Yin Xuanye was already eighteen. If he hadn't gone to the battlefield, he should have gotten married and at this age . But he was afraid that after a while, the ministers in the court would start to urge him to do so.

　　And it was exactly as Wen Yijin expected—

　　Yin Xuanye returned victorious from this expedition, and was highly regarded by the public. His reputation was greatly enhanced, and during the three years of fighting outside, he also cultivated many confidants.

　　The first time he attended court after returning was to promote and reward the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions.

Yin Xuanye sat on the dragon throne. After three years of hardships, his aura was completely different from before. He exuded the majesty of an emperor, and every word he spoke was so powerful that people dared not refute him and it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.

　　He also rewarded Wen Yijin with rare items, saying that he had made great contributions to governing the country in the past three years.

　　"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court." After the eunuch's shrill voice, the ministers of the court left the hall one after another.

　　"General Xu, congratulations!"

　　The area around the rewarded military official was filled with bustling voices.

　　Some are happy and some are worried. The ones who are worried are Wen Yi Jin's people. Wen Yi Jin can stand firmly in the court because he has one or two close friends in the court. There are often rumors among ministers that Wen Yi Jin and Yin Xuan Ye are not on good terms. Once Yin Xuan Ye gains power, it will inevitably threaten Wen Yi Jin - who knows what kind of struggle will take place between the two.

　　Wen Yijin was not worried at all. When he was leaving the palace, he was stopped by a eunuch.

　　"Your servant greets the Regent."

　　This eunuch was none other than Lu Xi, who served Yin Xuanye.

　　He stopped and asked what was going on. Lu Xi said, "Your Majesty, please ask the Regent to come over for a cup of tea."

　　"Lead the way." Wen Yijin said

　　Inside the Ganlu Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace were trembling with fear, not daring to breathe. The person who created this atmosphere here was none other than the monarch who was sitting in front of the table with a murderous look on his face.

　　"Pah"

　　A note was thrown out.

　　The hall was quiet. The palace maids lowered their heads. Yin Xuanye threw the memorial out without even looking up, and picked up another one.

　　A man came in quietly at the palace door, and picked up the memorial that was thrown on the ground with his slender hands. When the palace maids saw him, they all bowed to him.

　　Yin Xuanye raised his head when he heard the noise of the palace maids bowing, and the murderous and gloomy look on his face dissipated a little.

　　"Why is Your Majesty so angry?" Wen Yijin folded the memorial and placed it on the table.

　　Yin Xuanye: "I—"

　　He paused and asked the palace maids to go out.

　　The servants in the hall quickly retreated, not forgetting to close the door.
