The one who truly cherished Lin Yi was still the young Emperor.
Despite what was said, by night when Lin Yi grimaced as he got up, he realized that the Empress had not come over.
Upon inquiry, he learned that the young Emperor had explicitly mentioned he had important matters to handle tonight and thus, had not allowed the Empress to come.
Lin Yi was quite moved by this news.
He naturally understood what the young Emperor meant by doing so.
This also made him feel even more affectionate towards the young Emperor in his heart.
Although she always seemed unyielding and harsh, her heart was genuinely good towards him.
After all, looking across the entire Dynasty, not a single ruler had ever allowed Lin Yi to behave so unscrupulously as now.
Indeed, in ancient history, there were Empresses as well.
Yet, allowing Lin Yi to form his own female army corps like now was unprecedented in history.
However, this made Lin Yi cherish the young Emperor even more. He had resolved that no one, whoever they might be, could hurt his woman.
Of course, what can be avoided on the first day cannot be avoided on the fifteenth, as on the next day, the Empress arrived as expected.
However, by then, Lin Yi, after a day and a night’s respite, had regained some strength.
After all, he was still young, and what young man isn’t vigorous?
This night was destined to be another restless one.
In short, outside the Imperial Study Room, the Palace Maids and eunuchs on duty were all listening to the Empress’s commands throughout the night.
This night also further demonstrated the tacit coordination between Lin Yi and the young Emperor.
"This time, if it doesn’t succeed again, I will look down on you."
The next day, as the Empress left, the young Emperor helplessly rolled his eyes at Lin Yi, who had exhausted her the previous evening.
However, by then, a Palace Maid had already brought breakfast.
However, when the breakfast was served, for some reason, the young Emperor just glanced at it and immediately retched.
At this, Lin Yi, who was about to stuff a steamed bun into his mouth, immediately turned his attention to the young Emperor, becoming anxious:
"Your Majesty, is your body still not well?
Last time I saw you, it was , how is it getting worse now?
If it’s really not okay, we should summon an Imperial Physician!
If needed, we could even take the Imperial Physician to the Nanshan Base later."
It’s no wonder Lin Yi was so anxious, as this was one of his most beloved women.
Seeing her , Lin Yi was immediately extremely worried.
At this point, he couldn’t care about gender distinctions; if there really was something wrong with the young Emperor, it might be too late.
It’s better to call the Imperial Physician to have a look now.
However, hearing this, the young Emperor just waved her hand and said with a furrowed brow:
"No need, I might have caught a chill lately.
Besides this occasional nausea, I haven’t felt anything else inappropriate.
It should be alright, no need to worry so much."
Hearing the young Emperor insist, Lin Yi was initially going to ignore this and call the Imperial Physician directly.
But seemingly understanding his intentions, the young Emperor immediately glared at him:
"I said it’s fine. What, does my word not count anymore?
Hurry up and eat your food. After you’re done, I’ll personally go to check out that upgraded version of the Firearms at the Nanshan Guards you’ve been talking about!"
After giving another look at the young Emperor and thoroughly examining her, Lin Yi didn’t notice anything particularly wrong, which slightly reassured him.
After all, he was a person from the future.
Thus, he understood more about the human body than others.
Therefore, he wondered whether the young Emperor had a stomach flu or had eaten something unclean causing minor food poisoning?
On thinking this, he suddenly had a concerning thought.
His entire demeanor became alert.
His gaze fixed on the young Emperor, he asked seriously:
"Your Majesty, could it be..."
Hearing this question, the young Emperor also looked up in confusion, wondering why Lin Yi was so anxious?
"Speak up, stop dawdling like a woman."
"Your Majesty, have you recently eaten something of unknown origin?
Or has anyone given you anything?"
Hearing this, the young Emperor was visibly stunned, then furrowed her brow in thought:
"Do you mean someone has poisoned me?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi solemnly nodded.
Given their past experiences, they now couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Hearing this, the young Emperor continued thinking seriously.
Then she spoke into thin air behind her:
"Arrange for someone to thoroughly investigate this."
Logically speaking, now that the entire Imperial Palace, including the Imperial City, was under her control, there shouldn’t be anyone capable of making a move against her.
Or there shouldn’t be an opportunity for anyone to do so.
But since human hearts are unknowable and considering those two Princes had been operating for many years, it is inevitable that some people might have outward loyalty but are actually bought off by the opposition.
Thus, anything could happen.
Upon hearing the young Emperor’s command, Ying Yi above the beams immediately ordered an investigation.
Overall, during this breakfast, besides drinking a couple of sips of thin porridge, the young Emperor did not touch anything else.
Especially those greasy items, she wouldn’t even glance at them.
As just a look at those foods made the young Emperor feel uncomfortable all over.
"Your Majesty, your appetite is indeed poor.
This won’t do, your daily workload is not small, and if you don’t eat, your body won’t be able to take it."
"I know my own body, no need for you to worry excessively.
Let’s go, while it’s still early, let’s visit the Nanshan Guards."
Truly speaking, this was the first time the young Emperor had left the Imperial City since taking control of the government.
Although Nanshan Guards was just near the Capital City, this step was still a rare one.
If it had been before, the young Emperor would never dare to leave the Imperial City, as that would mean stepping out of her control range.
There’s no telling if she would be made targeted by people with intentions!
But now, that wasn’t the case. Not to mention that currently inside the Imperial City,
