Capítulo 3: Chapter 3 The Way Out When There's No Way Out
Editor: Henyee Translations
A man who had not undergone castration entered his own Inner Palace. Was this purely a coincidence or a conspiracy?
Could this man have been sent by the Imperial Uncle?
What could his intentions be?
Or perhaps, had his identity already been questioned by the Imperial Uncle?
In an instant, the Emperor's hand slowly reached towards the Emperor's Sword hanging on the wall behind him.
Regardless of who had sent this man, he must not be allowed to leave alive!
However, Lin Yi was completely unaware of the Emperor's actions.
At this moment, his mind was entirely frozen.
He had never imagined that his disguise as a eunuch would be discovered by the Emperor.
So what was he to do next? Run away?
But obviously, that was impossible.
Here in the vast Imperial Palace, a single command from the Emperor, and he would have no means of escape.
However, at that moment, Lin Yi saw a flash of white light before his eyes, followed by the sound of a 'swoosh' near his ear.
Then, he felt a chill on his neck, and a gleaming cold Treasure Sword was already placed against it.
Moreover, under this sudden turn of events, the cold voice of the Emperor rang out again:
"Speak, who sent you?"
By now, Lin Yi was completely petrified.
As a modern person who had just time traveled three days ago, he had never encountered such a situation.
Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Lin Yi frantically waved his hands:
"I do not understand what Your Majesty means; this servant was sent by no one, this Lin Yi is only loyal to Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to see the truth..."
Lin Yi knew that a wrong answer could lead to his immediate execution!
This was not an exaggeration, after all, this was the ruthless Feudal Dynasty.
Especially when the other party was the Emperor, did he really need a reason to kill?
For a moment, Lin Yi cursed in his heart:
"[Damn you, heavens! Are you trying to kill me? You could have sent me to any Dynasty, but why make me a fake eunuch in the palace!]"
"[At the very least, you could have dumped me anywhere, even being reborn as a beggar would be fine, using my unparalleled skills from the modern era, I could have surely been a wealthy man!!]"
"[Now great, the Emperor has discovered I'm a fake eunuch, from his tone, he's even mistaking me as someone's spy, this is completely doomed~"
"Moreover, I've only been in this world for three days, I don't even know which Dynasty this is, how can I argue my way out of this!
Ah, the current situation clearly leaves me with no way to defend myself, even if I say I wasn't sent by anyone, the Emperor can't possibly believe that...]"
Perhaps because his life was threatened, Lin Yi's thoughts were incredibly abundant at this moment.
This also left the Emperor, who held the sword to Lin Yi's neck, with a very complex expression.
There was no helping it, everything Lin Yi thought, she heard clearly.
For a moment, the Emperor actually started to hesitate.
According to common sense, no matter how cunning a person is, their inner thoughts will absolutely not deceive others.
Moreover, this guy obviously doesn't know that one can hear his heart's voice, which makes it even more trustworthy.
But just now, it seemed like he was saying he was sent down from heaven, how could she believe that?
Could it be that in the mysterious unknown, there really exists a heavenly being? Could this fake eunuch be an immortal descended to the mortal realm?
In a moment, the young Emperor began to feel conflicted, resulting in a stalemate between the two.
Perhaps it was because of Lin Yi's heart's voice that the young Emperor's murderous intent dissipated somewhat, and the force in his hands also loosened slightly.
Feeling the opponent's sword blade slightly leaving his skin, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a bit stunned inwardly.
While puzzled, his gaze subconsciously shifted towards the opponent.
However, as Lin Yi's gaze swept over the opponent's fair neck, he suddenly paused.
Then immediately his eyes widened! He even forgot that a sharp sword was still on his neck!
At the same time, as the young Emperor was pondering whether this guy's thoughts were trustworthy or not, suddenly Lin Yi's voice rang by his ear:
[Uh, how come this young Emperor doesn't have an Adam's apple??]
[Uh, this young Emperor's pectoral muscles are so well-developed!!]
[Uh, this young Emperor's waist is so slender…]
[Holy shit!! Could this young Emperor actually be a woman!!]
"If you dare to keep staring, I wouldn't mind personally gouging out the eyes of you, this fake eunuch!"
However, just as Lin Yi was cautiously peeping at the young Emperor from top to bottom, a chilling voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
This directly scared him so much that he quickly withdrew his gaze.
However, just when Lin Yi was cursing himself inwardly 'still in the mood to care if the opponent is male or female when the knife is at one's neck', suddenly he heard a swoosh.
Immediately, there was a light feeling on his neck, and following that, the sharp sword was retracted back into its scabbard by the young Emperor.
[What's going on? Could it be that the young Emperor really believed what I said? Although what I said was indeed true, this young Emperor trusts people too easily…]
Lin Yi subconsciously quickly stepped back a few steps, directly escaping the opponent's 'attack range'.
Then, while fully guarding against the opponent making a sudden move, he rapidly thought about how to escape, and after escaping, he must try every means to immediately slip out of the palace.
Seeing this guy's movements, the young Emperor slightly raised his eyelids, scoffing disdainfully in his heart.
If I wanted to kill him, what use would it be even if he backed up a few more meters? Ridiculous.
However, at this moment, she didn't pay too much attention to this guy's movements.
What this guy just thought once again proved that he didn't belong to any faction.
He even knew very little about the affairs of the court.
As she thought this, the young Emperor's gaze accidentally swept to the guy's crotch.
At the same time, she was firstly taken aback, then suddenly thought of something that had been troubling her a lot recently.
Yesterday, she had married the Empress, but she was completely unable to consummate the marriage. Since this guy didn't belong to any faction, perhaps this time he could really help her a lot.
Once this absurd thought appeared, she couldn't restrain it anymore.
Looking at it now, perhaps this was indeed the most feasible solution in a hopeless situation.
