Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 194 - 192: The Imperial Family’s Signboard

Yet before the young Emperor could even open his mouth to inquire, Lin Yi had already directly waved his hand, dismissing the Palace Maids standing by.

The young Emperor, witnessing this scene, became even more certain of the notion in his heart.

It seems that this fellow must have some confidential matter to report to him. Could it be that something significant had indeed occurred outside?

With this thought in mind, the young Emperor’s expression became increasingly tense. Any situation that could make Lin Yi so anxious clearly wouldn’t be a simple affair.

After all, this fellow had encountered his fair share of significant events, and he would not exhibit such panic even when facing the full assembly of civil and military courtiers.

And indeed, as the young Emperor had guessed, the matter that Lin Yi brought was truly one of great urgency and panic.

As soon as he had dismissed the Palace Maids, Lin Yi took a quick step forward, rushing straight to the young Emperor’s side.

This sudden action took the young Emperor aback.

Before he could react, he felt his body being lifted into the air.

Staring with wide eyes at Lin Yi, who had abruptly picked him up around the waist, the young Emperor couldn’t help but blurt out:

"You scoundrel, don’t tell me you’ve returned just for this?"

However, the young Emperor’s complaint was only met with the slightly heavy breathing of Lin Yi.

Despite wanting to resist, to kick this man out, the young Emperor eventually softened his heart upon seeing Lin Yi’s state.

And it must be said, that Cultivation Technique was truly extraordinary, enhancing Lin Yi’s abilities as though a tiger had grown wings.

Not only did he spar with the young Emperor for most of the night, but even after defeating the young Emperor, Lin Yi still felt a burning flame in his Dantian.

Though the flame had died down quite a bit, it had not completely dissipated.

Seeing the young Emperor no longer had the strength to fight, Lin Yi could only turn around and head back to the Rituals Office.

And this night was destined to be an unusual one.

In the latter half of the night after Lin Yi’s return, the old eunuch suffered greatly.

"This youngster is simply too wicked, isn’t he? I’ve only just given him the Secret Manual not even a full day ago, could it be he has already achieved some success?"

Lin Yi, having busied himself until dawn, felt completely refreshed and energetic, unlike the usual mornings where he struggled to walk even with the support of the walls. Instead, he felt an endless surge of strength throughout his body.

Such a transformation was both delightful and unexpected to him.

At the same time, he understood that this must be the miraculous effect of the Cultivation Technique.

Realizing the massive change emanating from the technique, Lin Yi, reaching for the manual, felt an immense burst of joy in his heart.

But this affair was just a minor incident.

Today marked the grand opening of the shop, and so, despite it still being dark, Lin Yi had no choice but to get up and, along with a team, rush back to the shop in haste.

Although the Cultivation Technique had invigorated him, the guards were quite worse for wear.

Being kept busy throughout the night and having made two trips had left them physically and mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, Lin Yi noticed this and let them take breaks in shifts.

But as he ordered them to rest, Lin Yi could not help but mutter to himself:

"Really, a bunch of young lads, how can their physique be so poor?

I’ve been going back and forth with you guys, and not only that, but I’ve also ’ridden horses’ twice more than you..."

Of course, such comments he could only mumble to himself, not something that could be shared with anyone else.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon around eight o’clock in the morning.

According to Lin Yi’s instructions, in two more hours, that is, another hour, it would be time for the opening.

As for why the opening was not set in the morning but rather at ten o’clock, it was because the court officials would be attending court.

If the court officials did not finish court, who would come to patronize the shop?

As if to aid Lin Yi, the young Emperor didn’t let the morning court session drag on for too long today, and she let the ministers leave the court early.

Once the courtiers had all left, the young Emperor even had Ying Yi send someone to keep an eye on the developments here, reporting every move back to her.

If not for her special status that prevented her from leaving the Imperial Palace, she would definitely have come in person to join the crowd.

After all, this was the most crucial first step in all of Lin Yi’s plans; if this step was successful, then everything that followed would proceed smoothly.

And according to Lin Yi, the National Treasury would never have to worry about being short of money again.

Now, after leaving the court, groups of acquainted officials gathered and walked outside while chatting.

Of course, their conversation revolved around the store’s grand opening that day.

There is now nearly an eighty percent certainty that the store is there to sell the glazed glassware that has come from overseas.

However, it’s not these details they are concerned about; rather, they are curious to know who did not receive an invitation, who would be unable to be present at the event.

They were sure that any official who did not attend today would be looked down upon come tomorrow.

Therefore, in their rush, they returned home and had their wives prepare and dress up for the occasion.

And at this moment, the outside of Lin Yi’s first shop was already packed with people, a veritable throng, inside and out.

Yet these people were all congregated about ten meters away from the shop.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to get closer, but rather because a long red ribbon had been placed not far in front of them, cordoning them off.

"Look, look, the dresses of those maidens inside are so strange!

But they do look genuinely beautiful."

"You’re right, I’ve never seen clothes like the ones that maiden is wearing before."

"Where, where? Let me have a look too."

At this time, the onlookers, with a lower social status compared to those officials, could only craning their necks to peek inside.

But as their gazes passed through the open doors and into the interior, they caught sight of the sales staff.

Although the doors quickly closed,
