The Lin Court is lively again. Fu Xing who just finished his job heard the hearty laughter. They are still a few meters away yet the loud voices of the people are quite merry. He's excited to join the fun if only he's not with an important person. He sneered, wanting to toss this important person away. But how can he do that? How can he kick the emperor out from the Lin Court without courting his death?
Fu Xing is about to announce the arrival of the emperor when his mouth was suddenly sealed shut. He turned around to look at the only person who could have activated the mouth-binding spell. The emperor ignored the young warrior and headed towards the house silently.
Yan JinLong can faintly hear the laughter of his beloved as he excitedly positioned himself in front of the door. For the first time in the completely grumpy week, the cold and stoic emperor emitted a flash blinding genuine smile by just hearing Lin Mian Mian's voice. It has some kind of magic, making his ice driven heart to suddenly melt. Somehow, just listening to his voice is not enough.
He wanted to see him.
Yan JinLong wanted to see him.
This week, he thought he could survive without seeing his new wife. He thought that he could manage by just doing it alone, not wanting to involve Lin Mian Mian to the military affairs. His father, whom Yan JinLong respected so much, died in the war. He doesn't have the courage to bring Lin Mian Mian to the place where his beloved father died.
Yet, he had some expectations... expectations that Lin Mian Mian will voluntarily come to his court to serve him. But it didn't happen.
Never.
He heaved a sigh. Yan JinLong stared at the flower he illegally picked from the gardens he passed by, imagining the reactions of the gardeners the moment they saw the high grade flowers gone. He chuckled, sniffing the flowers for a while, and then proceeded to knock the door when his ears sharply heard the most unexpected words that he will hear in his whole life.
"Well, whatever we do once I'm out from this place, I'll make sure to take good care of you..."
Those words is clearly from the only adult person inside the house, Lin Mian Mian. Suddenly, the emperor's face darkened as he gripped tightly to the flowers he brought. The bright colored red petals was suddenly clenched dripping red juices to the ground. Fu Xing who wanted to warn the people inside can't help but to get pale while the mouth-binding spell is still active.Lin Mian Mian... is planning to get out from the palace?
A lot of ideas swarmed inside Yan JinLong's mind as his feelings started to stir. For the whole week, the emperor endured the loneliness of being away to his beloved trying to work without fail. He always reminds his self that he is doing this for his beloved and for the country that he loved. He will put all of his effort to make his family safe away from danger.
Yet that family wanted to leave him alone...
There is a limit for his endurance because the emperor is not a god. On the third day without seeing Lin Mian Mian, Yan JinLong reluctantly asked Minister Chang if ever his wife visited him on his study or even roamed around to ask if he's doing fine. The minister only shook his head sideways with all honesty wondering why this emperor who never cares about his concubines started seeing the new wife in a good light.
Then he remembered that one time where he has to do the job of the emperor when Yan JinLong skipped the daily court meeting. And that reason for the absence is also because of this certain wife.
Yan JinLong returned to his work but his mood isn't getting better. He often scolded the young generals for small reasons like arriving late even though they arrived in ten seconds after the summon. This did not affect the generals because Minister Chang told them secretly that the emperor is just love sick and wanted his wife. Yet, that wife did not even bat an eye and continuously ignored him.
