Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!
Chapter 84 - 84 84 Friendship Beyond Age

84: Chapter 84: Friendship Beyond Age 84: Chapter 84: Friendship Beyond Age Despite her sulking face, the woman is quite beautiful.

It must be a different kind of charm.

Alas, it seems I need to find some time to practice my Kung Fu skills.

Otherwise, even if I am ready with a high-quality flute, the other party won’t perform for me.

Clang!

The sound of the Treasure Sword almost being unsheathed snapped Lin Yi out of his wild thoughts.

At the same time, he awkwardly withdrew his gaze.

Yet his fingers kept drawing little circles on the floor of the carriage.

All the while, he kept muttering under his breath:

“Hmph, you little vixen, why so fierce?

I draw a circle to curse you, curse you to never get married, you’ll end up cheap for me…”

The lady in white caught a glimpse at Lin Yi, who was muttering and drawing circles, and she frowned.

She couldn’t hear exactly what the guy was muttering, as long as he didn’t harass her, she didn’t care.

So, she simply cradled the Treasure Sword with both hands and leaned back in the carriage to rest.

Seeing this, Lin Yi also found himself without amusement and likewise closed his eyes to rest.

However, barely a quarter hour after the carriage set off, a scream suddenly erupted from inside:

“Ah, what the hell are you made of, woman!

I just accidentally touched you in my sleep, it wasn’t intentional.

Why are you hitting me?”

“Ow, ow, if you hit me again, you believe I’ll retaliate?”

“Hey, hey, my mistake, my mistake, stop hitting my face!

If you keep hitting my face, I’ll really lose it!”

“Damn it, will you ever stop, you vixen?

I told you not to hit the face, didn’t you hear?!

That’s it!

I’m angry, if today you don’t let me…”

With Lin Yi’s screams, the carriage continued its journey towards the outskirts under the sunset.

Of course, the coachman seemed completely oblivious to any of the screaming inside.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, Lin Yi’s carriage stopped within the camp of the Left Martial Guard.

General Mu, who had hurried back earlier, was already in the camp.

Since the Emperor and General Mu had already planned everything in advance, by the time Lin Yi arrived, everything was ready.

Since the Left Martial Guard had always been under General Mu’s command, things were handled smoothly and efficiently here.

By ten o’clock at night, everything was arranged.

Of course, since it was already late, Lin Yi naturally could not return to the palace.

Therefore, he had to make do and stay overnight at the Left Martial Guard’s camp.

After all, Lin Yi was currently one of the most favored persons by the Emperor’s side, General Mu had discussed the matter with him in the Imperial Study Room earlier that morning.

After wrapping up the urgent matters, General Mu directly arranged a banquet for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi, of course, did not hold back.

Even though the food tasted bland, he had been busy all day and was starving.

Therefore, the meal was exceptionally delectable to him this time.

Even the alcohol, akin to dishwater, Lin Yi downed several large bowls of it.

This sight was quite an eye-opener for General Mu.

He did not expect this little eunuch to have such a manly side.

With his robust eating and drinking, he was more like the soldiers in the military than the soldiers themselves.

If not for the Eunuch Robe he wore, it would be impossible to associate him with being an eunuch.

Indeed, General Mu found that he quite enjoyed watching Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi knew what the Great General was thinking, he would definitely mutter to himself, ‘A mother-in-law grows more fond of her son-in-law the more she sees him.’

Heh, actually this statement couldn’t be more true, although nominally the Great General’s daughter is the Empress, Lin Yi is truly the one who is the new son-in-law in the bridal chamber.

Because of this, Lin Yi has always been very polite when dealing with General Mu.

After all, although there is no official father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, they practically have one, which made Lin Yi less inclined to put on airs.

This also made General Mu particularly value Lin Yi.

Being graced by high favor, yet not arrogant because of favoritism, and always speaking without haste and panic, with a very nimble mind.

The most precious thing is his way of speaking, truly very much to the liking of the Great General.

Oh, right, there’s another most important point, his capacity for alcohol is really something.

When he drinks, it’s one bowl after another, yet he shows no sign of drunkenness.

After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes, General Mu put down his wine cup and looked at Lin Yi with a chuckle:

“Lord Lin is so hearty, greatly to my liking!

If Lord Lin doesn’t mind, how about I address you as a young friend?”

Lin Yi, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, was taken aback upon hearing this.

He couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

‘Damn, I treat you as a father-in-law, and you treat me as a young friend?

Isn’t this messing up our seniority?.’

If I truly became ‘young friends’ with this Old General, then I’d be considered a senior to the Empress.

In the future, I definitely would not visit the Empress much to spar.

If we sparred, I’d feel quite uneasy inside.

Playing landlord and calling her niece?

Just thinking about it, Lin Yi felt somewhat embarrassed.

But looking at the old man now, he seemed completely serious.

This really put me in a difficult position for a moment.

As a result, Lin Yi couldn’t help but excitedly clasp his fists towards General Mu:

“Haha, this young man is truly honored.

Having interacted with the Great General today, this young man truly regrets being born twenty years too late!

Otherwise, I would definitely become brothers with the Great General and charge across battlefields together!”

Great General, a bit dizzy from the alcohol, upon hearing this, got even more excited.

Immediately clapping Lin Yi on the shoulder, he laughed and said it’s not too late!

“If young friend Lin is willing, why not let us form this everlasting friendship now?”

This statement really scared Lin Yi out of his wits.

It’s not about the identity, it’s mostly that Lin Yi really feared the old man suddenly shouting ‘I don’t seek to be born on the same day or the same month, but to die on the same day of the same month’.

I am like a budding flower of You Country, unlike my soon-to-be father-in-law who is nearly buried halfway in the yellow earth.

After another round of polite exchanges, finally led by Lin Yi’s willingness, the two just became verbal friends without age consideration.

As for the matter of beheading a chicken and burning yellow paper to swear brotherhood, that was not done.

After several big bowls of alcohol, even though the alcohol content is not as high as beer, Lin Yi was also finding it harder to drink down.

Moreover, Lin Yi’s identity as a eunuch made it inappropriate for him to use the restroom, which really caused him discomfort.

Seeing Lin Yi holding it in until his face turned reddish, it misleadingly made the Old General think that this guy finally drank too much.

Hence, after a few words, the Old General directly asked this question:

“Young friend Lin, is it true that you always stay by His Majesty’s side at night?”
