Chapter 295: I have a way!

“I didn’t expect you to just let your lover leave like that.”

After Lin Xun left the Imperial Study, Le Sha stepped out from the shadows.

Le Sha’s duty was to be by Xia Xiaomeng’s side at all times, ensuring her safety and never leaving her side.

Even in the previous dynasty, when the former emperor and his concubines watched ‘Animal World’ together, Le Sha had to hide in the shadows of the room.

However, back then, Le Sha would close her eyes and block her hearing, only sensing the surrounding spiritual energy.

“Hmph, if it were any other time, I wouldn’t want to let Xiao Xun leave at all.” Xia Xiaomeng curled her lips.

“Then why didn’t you just issue an imperial decree to ‘marry’ this Lin Xun?”

Le Sha asked in confusion.

“Even issuing a decree is slow. Based on your personality, I thought Lin Xun would have been ‘done for’ today.”

“Because Master said so before.”

Xia Xiaomeng’s slender hand gently stroked the place where Lin Xun had just been sitting.

“Before the Nascent Soul Realm, the mountain and river dragon destiny required by the Immortal Emperor Body must not have the slightest error, otherwise it will affect my Dao achievements.”

“Oh? Is it really because of your Dao achievements?” Le Sha didn’t believe the young girl’s nonsense. “To you, so-called Dao achievements can’t even compare to a single strand of Lin Xun’s hair.”

“Of course they can’t.”

Xia Xiaomeng didn’t hide it at all, nor did she feel any shame.

“As long as Xiao Xun is willing to be with me, what’s wrong with us being ordinary people together? Whether it’s the Immortal Emperor Body or the so-called Dao, they are both dispensable.”

“It’s just…” Xia Xiaomeng lightly bit her thin lip.

“It’s just that if you don’t have enough strength, you won’t be able to snatch Lin Xun away from Jiang Qingshang?” Le Sha added.

“Yes, but not entirely.”

Xia Xiaomeng sighed softly.

“Xiao Xun’s feelings for me are still stuck in the time we met during the war, when we relied on each other to survive.

This is my biggest advantage over Qinger.

Because I was the first one there!

But this is also my biggest disadvantage. That’s why I had Xiao Xun call me Xiaomeng, to accept my current identity and get to know me all over again.

Actually, I often think.

If we hadn’t separated back then, Xiao Xun wouldn’t have met Qinger. Even if he did, he wouldn’t have had any feelings for her.

But now, Qinger is Xiao Xun’s primary wife.

Although I want Xiao Xun to be my Empress and stay by my side forever.

I know Xiao Xun would definitely refuse.”

“So?” Le Sha asked.

“So, I plan to take it step by step.”

At this point, Xia Xiaomeng’s cherry-pink lips curled into a charming curve, making one long to steal a kiss.

“If I had mentioned the position of Attendant Official at the start, Xiao Xun definitely wouldn’t have agreed.

I know Xiao Xun too well.

When I mentioned it, Xiao Xun was probably already prepared to run away.

So I intentionally said I wanted to issue a decree to make him Empress, and then took a step back to make him an Attendant Official.

This way, Xiao Xun couldn’t refuse.

Since Xiao Xun is already my Attendant Official, can he still run away?

When the time comes, I’ll make Xiao Xun sink step by step into a Land of Tenderness and willingly crawl into my bedchamber.”

…” Le Sha was speechless. “Why aren’t you this meticulous and serious when handling government affairs?”

“Because…” Xia Xiaomeng smiled radiantly, “He is the only person I have ever loved in my life.”

“Yes, your most beloved person.”

Le Sha had already given up on trying to advise this foolish girl.

“Then Your Majesty, what should Your Majesty do next? If Your Majesty is going to the Rootless Secret Realm, we must leave the palace the day after tomorrow at the latest.

And Your Majesty’s Imperial City is famously a kingdom of women.

If Your Majesty leaves Lin Xun alone in the palace, can Your Majesty really rest easy?”

Hearing Le Sha’s reminder, Xia Xiaomeng’s willow-like brows furrowed slightly.

In Xia Xiaomeng’s mind, she was already imagining the scene of her leaving the palace and Xiao Xun being surrounded by the palace maids of the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards.

“Absolutely not!” Xia Xiaomeng stood up. “How about this, Master, I’ll dismiss all the palace maids!”

“Don’t be ridiculous.” Le Sha had never felt so tired. “Dismissing the palace maids and leaving only Lin Xun, what would the world think? And how would government affairs be handled?”

“But…” Xia Xiaomeng was so anxious that her eyes welled up with tears. “Qinger is one thing, but I don’t want Xiao Xun to be touched by any other woman!”

“Can’t you just let him go back to Luo City for a while?”

Looking at the foolish girl’s misty eyes, Le Sha sighed.

When this foolish girl first ascended the throne, she hadn’t been this anxious even when facing internal and external troubles and a country in ruins.

How could she be so lost now because of Lin Xun?

“I can’t! I finally managed to trick Xiao Xun into coming here. What if I let him go back and he doesn’t come back?”

Xia Xiaomeng pinched the hem of her skirt.

“What if Xiao Xun makes up his mind not to come back to my side? I can’t exactly do anything to him.”

“Wait.”

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Xia Xiaomeng’s eyes lit up!

“I have a way!”

After leaving the Imperial Study,

Lin Xun was led back to the pavilion where he lived by a palace maid. In fact, he lived right next to the Imperial Study.

Lying on the bed, Lin Xun breathed a temporary sigh of relief.

Lin Xun had originally wanted to find an opportunity to suggest to Sister Mimi that ‘the position of Draft Recorder doesn’t suit me, Luo City is actually the most comfortable, why don’t you let me go back to Luo City’.

Lin Xun also knew that if he made this request, Sister Mimi would definitely not agree.

But it was fine; he just needed to pretend to go on a hunger strike, get angry, and be depressed like he did when he was a child, and Sister Mimi would agree to anything.

Because Sister Mimi would never want to see him suffer even a little bit of harm.

But now…

He had just persuaded Sister Mimi to give up on that bold idea. If he mentioned going back to Luo City now and made Sister Mimi back down again and again, wouldn’t Sister Mimi explode on the spot?

Not only that, in two days, he had to go to the Rootless Secret Realm on the Fuchen Continent.

What excuse could he use to get away?

Should he just leave without saying goodbye?

No, no.

If Sister Mimi found out he was suddenly gone, she would turn the entire Qian Kingdom upside down.

“Forget it, I’ll sleep first.”

Unable to think of a solution for the moment, Lin Xun gave up thinking. His eyelids grew heavier, and he decided to sleep on it.

Anyway, it wasn’t like he had to leave immediately.

And just as Lin Xun quickly entered his dreams and began breathing steadily,

The door to Lin Xun’s room was quietly opened.

A light breeze blew into the room.

Following the breeze, a pair of long, well-proportioned legs quietly stepped into Lin Xun’s room.

【Changed to a new laptop, feels okay, quite convenient to carry, but the price was a bit expensive.

I still miss my desktop.

Sigh. When will the graphics card situation ever end?

I really want to play AAA masterpieces.

I should have stocked up on graphics cards back then.】
