Chapter 367 A Bad Sign
"This..." Gao Ping hesitated for a moment, "Master Lin, you must know that the Emperor has already retired for the night." He had met many officials, but Master Lin was the most audacious among them. Others would wait until the Emperor had eaten, drunk, and relieved himself before they dared to ask for an audience, but Master Lin was one to pull the Emperor out of bed.
"He may be resting, but we must still go." Lin Wanrong sighed deeply, "This matter sticks in my heart, and if I don't clarify it, I will find no peace. Don't worry, Eunuch Gao, if anything happens, I'll bear the responsibility. If the Emperor wants to blame someone, let him blame me."
Even if Gao Ping had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare disturb the Emperor's peaceful slumber. But having just witnessed Master Lin's full martial display, he also knew well that this man was no easy one. If words were to clash, perhaps he'd end up on the receiving end of a tyrant's punch. At that moment, he was caught in a dilemma, neither able to advance nor retreat, finding himself in an impossible situation.
"Husband, do you have some urgent matter that requires you to see Father at this late hour?" Qin Xian'er asked softly.
"It is a very important matter." Lin Wanrong nodded gravely. In front of Xian'er, his jealous wife, he could not say what the matter was, otherwise, who knew what chaos this girl might create.
Qin Xian'er nodded and looked at Gao Ping, "You go and see if Father is sound asleep, tell him I will accompany Husband there in a while."
Upon hearing the Princess's command, Gao Ping reluctantly complied and left. Qin Xian'er glanced at Lin Wanrong, her mouth pouting slightly, "Husband, are you going to ask about that fox-like seductress?"
"This... may I refrain from answering?" Lin Wanrong chuckled, thinking that Xian'er, this little minx, was truly not ordinary; nothing could be hidden from her.
