IHOEAYSTTTIW Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Excitement easily leads to excessive talking, and excessive talking easily leads to trouble~

“Not here? Then…”

Lin Yan stopped halfway through his question.

Seeing the Zhengxuan Emperor’s calm demeanor, Yun Qi was certainly fine. He probably just had some off-site task that prevented him from returning that day. As for the jade hairpin, if the Emperor wanted it, a word would suffice.

Such an elaborate purpose…

“Your Majesty doesn’t need to test me like this. Neither I nor Xiao Qi have any thoughts in that direction.” Lin Yan stood up and bowed. “If Your Majesty is truly worried, Xiao Qi and I will leave tomorrow.”

The Zhengxuan Emperor raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised. He sized Lin Yan up with interest before waving him to sit down. “It’s naturally good that Imperial Brother’s wife has such awareness, but I don’t understand. What kind of benefits did Imperial Brother promise you that you’re willing to do something as treasonous as breaking into the palace?”

Lin Yan sat back down, his hand unconsciously stroking the jade hairpin.

He couldn’t tell the truth about what happened between him and Yun Qi; no one would believe it.

Moreover, the Emperor was always scheming, suspicious, and ungrateful. Lin Yan doubted his ability to fabricate a story on the spot, let alone one that was logically consistent and could deceive everyone.

He couldn’t tell the truth, and he couldn’t make things up, so there was only one path left…

Lin Yan took a deep breath and, in a passionate tone, spoke meaningless nonsense: “Xiao Qi and I have similar experiences, and we’ve both fallen into the same situation, so we can only huddle together for warmth, understand each other, and trust each other…”

“I don’t understand what Imperial Brother’s wife is saying.” The Zhengxuan Emperor tapped on the table, interrupting Lin Yan’s recitation. “Imperial Brother and I have only been separated for two years. Even if Imperial Brother has been with Imperial Brother’s wife for these two years, it wouldn’t lead you to say such things about having the same experiences and the same situation, unless…”

The Zhengxuan Emperor chuckled, his voice becoming much colder. “Imperial Brother’s wife is trying to tell me that there really are stories of meeting in dreams and predestined relationships in this world?”

…

Lin Yan secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.

No wonder he was the Emperor; transmigration could be considered a dream, and transmigrating into another version of oneself was practically a past life.

The guess was completely correct, perfectly reasonable, and worth full marks.

“Your Majesty can think whatever you want.” Lin Yan stood up and bowed, preparing to slip away. “I still need to pack my things for departure, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“You… Forget it.” With the threat gone, the Zhengxuan Emperor was too lazy to pursue the matter.

Yun Qi was his only family in this world, and he didn’t want to take that step unless absolutely necessary. Those imperial decrees to find him were genuine, and he never believed that his brother had any intention of rebelling.

It was just that his brother’s identity was too special, occupying both the “legitimate” and “eldest” positions. Even if he was just a useless good-for-nothing, some people would be eager to act, let alone his brother, who had been taught to care for the world. Even if his brother didn’t have any such thoughts about the throne, the seeds he had planted and the things he had done had stirred up different ideas in the minds of the people below.

It would naturally be best to send him away, but who knew when they would meet again after this separation.

Without those schemes and calculations, the suppressed reluctance was revealed.

The Zhengxuan Emperor stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Yan, fussing like an old father marrying off his daughter. “My brother has a gentle temperament, but he always likes to overthink things. I hope you can be understanding. My brother suffered a lot as a child, and he heard the most of Mother’s crazy ramblings. But my brother is filial, so he’ll even respond to those crazy phrases like ‘Miracle’…”

“What did you say?” Lin Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the Zhengxuan Emperor.

“Why are you talking about this?” The Zhengxuan Emperor noticed that Lin Yan’s state was not right and quickly changed his words. “The affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, Imperial Brother will today…”

Lin Yan’s mind was in a mess, and he didn’t hear what the Zhengxuan Emperor said after that at all. He took two quick steps to the Zhengxuan Emperor’s side, his voice trembling as he repeated the Zhengxuan Emperor’s words just now: “Miracle?”

The Zhengxuan Emperor didn’t know why Lin Yan suddenly made such an expression, but he still replied: “symbol?.”

Maybe… maybe it was just a coincidence.

Lin Yan took a deep breath, his voice trembling as he continued to ask: “shirt?”

The way the Zhengxuan Emperor looked at Lin Yan had already become strange, and the words he spoke no longer had the warmth they had before: “Nine pounds.”

Lin Yan took two steps back and slumped back into his chair.

The truth was about to come out, but Lin Yan couldn’t accept it. He could only mumble to himself in a daze,Talk about it self-hypnotizing: “He also transmigrated, maybe he’s also from my hometown…”

Lin Yan almost convinced himself, but the Zhengxuan Emperor’s light sentence completely negated his eight hundred words of self-hypnosis: “It’s just some crazy talk, why is Imperial Brother’s wife so hung up on this?”

Crazy talk? Of course, these things were crazy talk to the natives of Great Zhou. The Zhengxuan Emperor saying this could only mean that he wasn’t from the modern era.

Lin Yan asked with difficulty: “Where did you… where did you hear these crazy words?”

The Zhengxuan Emperor shrugged and repeated what he had just said: “Mother has always been crazy, these words are what she often muttered.”

Lin Yan tried his best to stabilize his crumbling bottom line, comforting himself with a Make complaints he had heard a long time ago: “This can’t explain anything, after all, transmigration is a group activity…”

“Transmigration? That word sounds so familiar…” The Emperor pondered for a long time, then suddenly snapped his fingers. “I remember now, isn’t that the story that Imperial Brother told me after listening to a bunch of random things… This kind of story also has a clichéd beginning…”

Lin Yan’s camel of faith’s four legs had already begun to tremble, and the last straw that broke it—no, the last ton of straw—fell with a “thud.”

“I transmigrated, transmigrated to an unknown dynasty. In order to integrate into this dynasty, I can only pretend to have lost my memory…”

The Emperor savored the story his brother used to coax children, while Lin Yan felt it was the devil’s whisper. He slumped back into his chair, forcing a bitter smile: “I’ve revealed everything, and you’re telling me that all of this was just a story he made up?”

Without preconceived notions, without taking things for granted, thinking from another angle, Yun Qi’s strange actions all became very natural.

Because Yun Qi didn’t transmigrate, he was so comfortable in this era. That was why his calligraphy had such character, and why he treasured that night light so much…

Even Yun Qi’s stuttering when they first met and his fluent responses now could be explained… he was simply playing with his Cellphone.

Lin Yan inadvertently spoke the classic line of Aunt Xianglin: “I’m so stupid, really…”

The Zhengxuan Emperor looked at the person in front of him who was rapidly withering and felt that the atmosphere was not right, and Lin Yan’s attitude was also strange.

However, anyone who could chat with his Imperial Brother must have some “special qualities.”

The Zhengxuan Emperor no longer dwelled on it and pulled the topic back from the edge of nowhere: “Where are you planning to go, Imperial Brother’s wife? I’ll send a car to take you…”

“Don’t call me Imperial Brother’s wife.” Lin Yan slammed the table, his whole person enraged.

He wanted to curse, but tears slipped down unknowingly, instantly weakening his momentum by eighty or ninety percent: “I don’t have a single cent of relationship with that liar.”

“I see.” The Zhengxuan Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and changed his address very naturally. “Then what are Lin Gongzi’s plans?”
