When Ling Xiao returned to Wangchun Tower, it was already late.
Dim candles were lit everywhere in the Wangchun Tower, and Ling Xiao was brought back to the second floor of the Wangchun Tower by the maid.
Standing on the second floor of the Wangchun Tower, Ling Xiao hesitated a little. After knowing that the emperor was testing him, he felt a little hesitant and also a little uncomfortable.
It was as if his hands and feet had been bound and he had been thrown into the sweltering heat. He was obviously uncomfortably hot, but he didn't know how to relieve it. He could only let the heat flow erode his heart and lungs.
The maid stopped in front of the emperor's door, bowed and bowed to make way for Ling Xiao, the meaning was obvious, let Ling Xiao go in.
Ling Xiao thought for a while, and waved the maid to back away.
The maid was taken aback for a moment, then bowed obediently and respectfully and left.
Ling Xiao stood alone at the door of the emperor's room, looking at the shadow of the emperor reflected on the window, sighing in a daze.
In this way, he was always distrusted by the emperor. Even if he had the gold medal for avoiding death, he had no sense of security at all. He had to eliminate the emperor's distrust of him.
Thinking so, Ling Xiao raised his hand and knocked on the door, and called the emperor softly at the door.
There was a brief silence in the room, and soon the emperor's calm voice came.
"come in."
Ling Xiao walked in cautiously, only to find that the Emperor was sitting at the desk writing paperwork. Seeing Ling Xiao coming in, the Emperor put down the pen, stared at Ling Xiao leisurely, and said casually, "Are you willing to come in?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and understood instantly in his heart that the emperor's skill was so profound that even the slightest noise could not escape his ears, let alone he had stayed at the door for so long.
I'm afraid that once he gets upstairs, he already knows.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao didn't hide it anymore, walked up to the emperor, bowed his head and said bluntly: "Ling Xiao doesn't know how to face the emperor."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair with a questioning gesture.
Ling Xiao pursed his lips and said boldly: "Your Majesty, you don't trust Ling Xiao."
Ling Xiao dared to speak directly like this because he had the gold medal for avoiding death given by the emperor in his bosom.
Now that his life is guaranteed, it is not Ling Xiao's style to hide something aggrieved in his heart. Ling Xiao resolutely spread out his dissatisfaction in front of the emperor.
What's more, the emperor doesn't like lies at all, and the only one who wants the emperor's trust is himself enough to be honest.
His confession is the key to gaining the emperor's trust.
The emperor was slightly taken aback, as if he was surprised that Ling Xiao would be so honest.
However, the emperor didn't hate such a frankness, he only slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and asked Ling Xiao with a smile in his eyes: "Are you dissatisfied?"
Ling Xiao nodded affirmatively: "Ling Xiao is indeed dissatisfied."
"..." The emperor narrowed his eyes, staring at Ling Xiao in front of him.
Ling Xiao's face was frank, his brows were slightly frowned, he seemed to be aggrieved or angry, and his mouth was lightly curled to express his dissatisfaction, like a cat blaming its master for not taking good care of itself, baring its teeth and waving its claws at him. The master vented his grievances, but there was no threat at all.
The emperor looked at it comfortably, raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Xiao didn't meet Fu Yujun just now."
Hearing the words, the emperor lowered his eyes lightly, raised his thin lips slightly and said, "I've already left, why don't you see me?"
