Chapter 1174: Chapter 1180: Return to the Palace (5)

After dinner, Cai Wei took Chang Mei and Old Turtle into Space, and after calculating the dinner cost, she headed outside.

The day was gradually fading to dark, and in a while, she could ride the white-furred Tiger back to the Capital to see her man. Lingbei wasn’t far from the Capital, and by the Second Watch, the Tiger could make it. The thought of seeing him soon brought a small surge of excitement in Cai Wei’s heart.

Having been away for several days, she had begun to miss him—his warm embrace, his naughty smile, and the feeling of his kisses and affection...

Unknowingly, she found herself increasingly dependent on him, although she previously despised women who relied on men. But now, she realized that those independent and confident women weren’t born that way; they simply hadn’t met a man who made them want to give their all in love and dependence. If they did meet such a person, they too would gradually let go of themselves and rely more and more on him...

The night had finally fallen, and Cai Wei, excited, mounted the white-furred Tiger and sped towards the Capital like a bolt of lightning...

In the Palace, Royal Study,

Nangong Yi sat under the lamp with a gloomy face, reviewing memorials, while Yang Yong and others behind him suppressed their presence as much as possible, to avoid causing trouble and getting hurt!

These days, the Empress Dowager had suddenly disappeared, and the Emperor didn’t seem to search for her. However, the Emperor’s temper grew worse by the day; today, because Pei Yao’s clothes were not dignified enough, he had beaten her with twenty planks and sent her to the Laundry Bureau. Pei Yao was a First-class Palace Maid personally chosen by Empress Dowager Mo for the Emperor and Empress, bearing more face than many masters, yet the Emperor dismissed her just like that, not even giving face to the Empress Dowager, showing how extremely poor his mood was!

The remaining palace servants were terrified by the Emperor’s imperial might, each wishing they could shrink into a shell, fearing any mistake might provoke his wrath and lead them down the same path as Pei Yao.

It was nearly the Second Watch, and the Emperor was still tirelessly reviewing, his face growing darker.

"Summon someone! Bring tea!"

He commanded authoritatively, as if to tell others he was very angry and not to provoke him.

"Yes!"

Yang Yong responded and with a gesture, a Young Eunuch carefully presented a tray, at the center of which was an Official kiln’s pastel teacup.

Nangong Yi took the tea and just tasted a sip, then with a clang, smashed the teacup to the ground, angrily saying, "Useless servant, always brewing tea for me, don’t you know I only drink it lukewarm?"

The tea-serving Young Eunuch, terrified, ’splash’ knelt on the ground, knocking his head, shivering and constantly crying, "This servant deserves death, Your Majesty please forgive..."

Seeing this, Yang Yong quickly stepped forward, glared at the Young Eunuch, and said, "Dog Slave, why don’t you scramble and brew a lukewarm tea for His Majesty!"

"Yes, this servant will go now..."

With Yang Yong’s intervention, the Young Eunuch hurriedly got up and dashed outside, just reaching the entrance when suddenly a red figure appeared, almost causing him to stumble into them.

"What are you doing? Running like a headless chicken?"

Cai Wei swiftly dodged to the side, smiling as she spoke, yet her eyes were looking in the direction of the dragon case.

Nangong Yi, hearing Cai Wei’s voice, instantly lifted his head, a look of surprise showing in his eyes.

However, upon meeting Cai Wei’s gaze, he put on a sullen face again, grunting awkwardly, and lowered his head to continue reviewing the memorials.

Watching her man’s sullen face, Cai Wei held back a laugh, waved at Yang Yong, "You all may leave."

"Yes!"

The appearance of the Empress Dowager relieved Yang Yong; he cheerfully complied, gestured to the others in Hall, and they all tiptoed out.

"Hmph, who allowed you to leave!"

Nangong Yi grunted authoritatively, continuing to sulk.

Yang Yong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, with the Empress Dowager to wait upon you, there’s no need for these clumsy servants. The Empress Dowager will surely take good care of you!"

Saying so, he smiled broadly and withdrew.
