Live well, isn't it delicious?

Chapter 18 - Paranoid Tyrant × Infatuated Queen (16)

Therefore, Di Yan sat back in his dragon chair steadily. He is a generation of monarchs. Where is the queen?
This is obviously impossible, absolutely impossible!

10 minutes passed.

Di Yan sat in front of the table, holding a file in his hand, and looked at it calmly.

10 minutes passed.

Di Yan was still sitting in front of the crime, holding a dossier in his hand, watching with a calm expression.

Half an hour passed.

Di Yan was still sitting in front of the table without moving, holding a file in his hand, looking at it calmly.

Xiao Songzi stood aside and secretly took a look, with cold sweat pouring down his back.

His Majesty has not moved for half an hour. In the past, judging from the speed at which His Majesty reviewed files and ministers' memorials, he could finish more than a dozen books in this half an hour.

But after half an hour, His Majesty has been looking at the same dossier, not even changing his movements and eyes.

This gives people the feeling... yes, a little dull...

Xiao Songzi swallowed silently, is His Majesty thinking about something serious or practicing some inner strength?

Why don't you move?
Xiao Songzi hesitated whether to speak out to remind His Majesty that he had been motionless for half an hour. He opened his mouth and found that he did not dare to say anything, so he suppressed the words that came to his lips.

If his mouth disturbs His Majesty's thinking or practicing, he will lose his head immediately.

Another ten minutes passed.

Di Yan still kept the posture just now, and looked at the file in front of him with dull eyes, as if he could see other things through the file.

Xiao Songzi's back was almost drenched in cold sweat, he finally couldn't help it, looked at Di Yan and reminded softly,

"Your Majesty, are you thirsty?"

Xiao Songzi felt that he might still have a chance to survive by talking like this. After all, he was caring about His Majesty, and he would also pour water for His Majesty on his own initiative.

When Di Yan heard Xiao Songzi's voice, his whole body trembled. He suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Songzi. His eyes were so sharp and fierce that Xiao Songzi knelt down on the ground in fear.

Di Yan looked at Xiao Songzi who suddenly knelt on the ground and took a deep breath with some irritation.He had been reading the file very hard just now, but he just couldn't get it in. This was the first time in so many years that he had this feeling of being unable to settle down.

Di Yan moved his body again, but he still sat back on his dragon chair and didn't get up.

"You, go to the queen's place and make me a pot of tea."

Di Yan's voice sounded in the quiet imperial study room, shocking Xiao Songzi and him at the same time.

Xiao Songzi was still trembling on his knees, but after hearing His Majesty say such incredible words, he was so shocked that he suddenly raised his head and looked at Di Yan, questioning whether he was It’s not that I heard wrongly.

Di Yan frowned a little irritably, what did he just say?
Why do you have to go to the queen's palace to make tea?
Is it possible that there is no tea or water here?

Di Yan really wanted to take back what he just said, but the words he said were like water thrown out, and he couldn't take them back no matter what.

Di Yan's gaze met Xiao Songzi's shocked gaze. He stared at Xiao Songzi who was kneeling on the ground ferociously, and said in a bad tone, "Hurry up! Wait for me to go in person?"

Xiao Songzi hurriedly kowtowed twice, said yes, then got up and walked quickly outside the imperial study.

Looking at the back of Xiaosongzi who was almost fleeing, Di Yan questioned himself inexplicably.

Why did he let Xiao Songzi go to the queen's palace to make tea for him? Could it be that he didn't drink enough salt water and spicy water?Addicted to drinking?
Di Yan frowned, thinking irritably.He may not be able to read these files today, and for no reason just wants to drink tea.

Xiao Songzi was very fast, and walked in from the imperial study room in a short while.

He took out a teapot from the food box in his hand, and poured the tea in it into the emperor's usual drinking cup.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Xiao Songzi lowered his head, holding the teacup in both hands and handing it forward.

Di Yan took the teacup with one hand and put it to his mouth. He didn't rush to drink it, but first took a look at the color of the tea, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he took a small sip.

The tea is very fragrant at the entrance, and after a sip of tea, the aroma of tea leaves remains between the lips and teeth.

This is really a good cup of tea.

Di Yan took another sip, wondering why there were no other ingredients added to the tea this time.Could it be that after the little palace maid who tried to murder him was executed, the queen's palace became quiet?
Di Yan thought of the two pots of tea brought by the queen, and silently snorted in his heart.

As if he didn't know, the two pots of tea in question were most likely made by the queen's maid.

But when he thought of this, Di Yan felt inexplicably bad.

Since it was the maid who was assigned by the empress to brew the tea, why didn't you add anything else to the empress's Kunning Palace this time to get the tea?
Di Yan glanced at Xiao Songzi, who was standing next to him with a low eyebrow, and asked in a rather unnatural tone, "Who made this tea?"

Xiao Songzi lowered his head and replied obediently, "Your Majesty, it's from Yu Chui, the palace maid next to the Queen."

Di Yan was not happy, he frowned, thinking about Pan Yuezhu's reasoning in his heart.

As a queen and the master of the harem, the emperor wanted to make a pot of tea in her palace, but she didn't even prepare it herself?

This is too outrageous!
Di Yan was very dissatisfied, and was very angry that Pan Yuezhu didn't make tea for him.

"What is the queen doing?"

Di Yan's tone was obviously a little bad.

Xiao Songzi trembled, and continued, "Return to Your Majesty, the empress is... is..."

When Xiao Songzi said this, he suddenly didn't dare to continue. He secretly raised his eyes to look at Di Yan, observing the expression on Di Yan's face, for fear that he would lose his head if he said a wrong sentence.

"Say, don't dawdle."

Di Yan was impatient, why the little eunuch couldn't understand what he was talking about today.

Xiao Songzi took a deep breath and finally plucked up the courage to speak out, "The Queen is...sleeping..."

Di Yan felt that he was furious again now, and wished he could go to the queen's bedroom and drag the queen up from the bed.

Is she sleeping?He has sent people to Kunning Palace, but she is actually sleeping?
Di Yan couldn't help but wanted to get angry. He squinted his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Didn't the Queen sleep this afternoon?"

Xiao Songzi trembled three times again. He thought in his heart that he would risk it all, so he mustered up the courage to say,
"I heard from the palace lady Yu that the queen ate a bit... too much for dinner, so she fell asleep when she was tired."
