Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 182 It's A Misunderstanding

Yin Ji was stunned. He didn't expect Xie Yun to suddenly ask this question that he had been waiting for several days. He didn't feel happy for a while, but his heart ached.

Originally, he wanted Xie Yun to stay around him because of this injury and ignore everyone, but now that she really asked, he regretted it. He didn't want Xie Yun to worry about him.

"No, it's okay."

Xie Yun seemed to be relieved: "It's okay, then I'll go up first."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yin Ji was a little stupid. No, although he said it was okay and didn't want Xie Yun to worry about him, how could there was no worry a little?

He frowned: "It's not that okay, it still hurts."

Xie Yun stopped: "Do you want me to call the imperial physician to see the emperor?"

"The imperial physician is useless and only talks nonsense."

"Then, what does the emperor want me to do?"

What does he want Xie Yun to do?

Naturally, he asked about her well-being and threw herself into his arms, but in public, no matter how much he thought about it, Yin Ji couldn't say it out loud, so he could only cough and say, "Do whatever you want."

The hands behind his back rubbed his fingertips unconsciously, one by one, almost rubbing his skin.

In fact, he also knew that Xie Yun would not do anything, at most he would wait for him to get on the dragon chariot and apply medicine to him.

But such simple intimacy, just thinking about it was enough to make his heart tremble, he longed to get close to Xie Yun.

This was not a thought that he had just had now. As early as four years ago when he saw Xie Yun again, he often couldn't control himself and always wanted to touch her and rub her.

But he couldn't say it, so he could only touch her while she was serving him.

Thinking of his previous dissolute behaviour, Yin Ji felt a little annoyed. He should have been more unrestrained before, but there should be opportunities in the future. Xie Yun has agreed to the southern tour, so how long will it take for her to stay?

He looked over with a smile: "What? Don't you know what to do? Would such a small matter embarrass you?"

Xie Yun did not refute: "It is a little difficult, I am afraid that I have misunderstood the emperor's intention."

This was a bit strange, Yin Ji was a little confused: "Mistaken? I didn't mean..."

"Really?" Xie Yun raised her eyes, looking at him calmly and thoroughly, "If not, how could the Uighur prince also be injured in the side of the neck?"

Yin Ji finally understood what Xie Yun said, and his eyes widened involuntarily: "Are you saying that I used a cruel trick to deceive you?"

"I dare not," Xie Yun lowered her head, "I just hope that the emperor can be more direct next time, just give me instructions, I will stick to my duties and try my best to satisfy you."

Yin Ji was completely frozen. It was indeed unexpected that Yiled came to offer medicine, but what he didn't expect was that Xie Yun would look at him like this.

The hands behind his back slowly tightened, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Does the emperor have any other instructions?"

Xie Yun spoke again, Yin Ji looked at her dimly and shook his head silently.

Xie Yun nodded and said, "Then I will take my leave."

She turned and left, not wanting to waste time on Yin Ji, nor did she want to spend time guessing what he was thinking. She had guessed wrong too many times.

"Xie Yun."

Yin Ji suddenly caught up with her, and Xie Yun had to stop: "Does the emperor have any more instructions?"

Yin Ji raised his hand, not knowing what he wanted to do, but he didn't raise it very high before he took it back. He smiled very reluctantly: "I did think about asking you to pay more attention to me... Since you don't like it, I won't do it again in the future."

Xie Yun was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Yin Ji to catch up with her to apologize. She was a little confused for a while, and it took a long time before she responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two looked at each other in silence, and finally Yin Ji spoke first: "Go up, if you feel hot, ask someone to add some ice."

Xie Yun thanked him again, and her back quickly disappeared in the layers of ceremonial guards.

Yin Ji's gaze was reluctant to be retracted, and his heart felt a little sore, but he quickly put it behind his mind.

It's better to ignore him than to ignore him. Things are still developing in a good way.

"Your Majesty, women cannot be spoiled, they will become arrogant."

A pretentious deep voice suddenly sounded, Yin Ji's eyes condensed, and he looked over. As expected, it was the old Prince An.

"It has nothing to do with Uncle Prince An."

The old Prince An smiled with a shameless face: "This old minister is for the good of Your Majesty. It is not easy to keep such a woman around. If Your Majesty trusts me, I will definitely be able to train her to be obedient after a few days..."

He could not say the rest of the words because a pair of sinister and cold eyes were staring at him. 

"Uncle Prince An," Yin Ji slowly stepped closer, "Have I ever told you that my people don't like others to covet them."

The old Prince An was looked at with a chill all over his body, and his hair stood up. During these days in Shanglin Garden, he had seen that the little emperor was not as peaceful and kind as he appeared on the surface, but he was still shocked by his current appearance. It was as if he was going to eat him alive.

He stepped back subconsciously and shook his head to deny: "This old minister absolutely did not mean that. This old minister said that you could let Princess An teach her..."

"It's not your turn!"

Yin Ji refuted coldly, narrowing his eyes and saying word by word: "Remember, she is my person, no matter what she looks like, it's not the turn of others to comment!"

The old Prince An's face was pale, but he didn't dare to refute: "Yes, yes, yes… This old minister said too much, I won't do it again in the future, Your Majesty, calm down, calm down..."

Sensing that something was wrong here, Xun Yilu, who was now on the same rope with the old Prince An, hurried over: "What are the emperor and the old Prince An talking about in private here? Maybe you can take me with you?"

Yin Ji glanced at the old Prince An coldly, raised his foot and walked towards the imperial carriage: "You still have the mind to listen to gossip, the envoys of various countries will return soon, you are also in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the list of gifts has not been submitted yet. If you are unable to do it, I can give you a leisurely job."

Xun Yilu relied on the Queen Mother, and had not been criticized like this for many years. His face turned pale for a moment, but he had no way to refute it, so he could only ask for punishment.

Yin Ji only scolded him a few words and sent him away. He did not mean to be angry, but just did not want Xie Yun to be pointed at by others.

Whether it was the old Prince An or Xun Yilu, what kind of people were they, and how could they be worthy?
