The Employed Empress 165 Chapter 165: Wrong Flag

'I'm sick. I almost 'died' as well, you know? Don't expect me to antagonize the true lover!'

Being the empress, Wei Yi Yi is fully aware that people are counting her as part of her Boss' harem. And as the empress, they expect her to clash with Ye Ai Ning.

How could she not notice when she lives in the middle of this very storm!

Sorry, but she could have all the glory!

The inner palace is already as big as it is. Does she still need to control her influence outside? That would be overwork! Wei Yi Yi never inspires to be as workaholic as her Boss.

If she could skip that then why not? Also, please know the difference between a third party and a thirdwheel!

'Kill all your expectation because you choose the wrong person to go against her Boss' woman.'

The others prepare their scripts on their head. They will definitely put a stop to Ye Ai Ning's ambitions.

On the other hand, the empress ready herself to give thanks and praise Ye Ai Ning's sense of duty. Wei Yi Yi will definitely push her to the spotlight.

With all thoughts and intentions crossing and missing each other, it was an utter mess.

Thankfully no one was able to open their mouths before the emperor.

"As Zhen said there is no need to proceed. It is not even an official gathering," he said and funnily, both Ye Ai Ning and Wei Yi Yi respond in the same manner; chest fallen. Most of the crowd expression lighten though.

"The empress will worry and might try to still attend. It's better to cancel it rather than letting the empress stress over it while frightened."

Wei Yi Yi grabs Jiang Yu's lapel. She really wanted to shake her Boss awake. 'Please don't bundle me in the same category as you! I'll sleep soundly knowing someone else is taking responsibility you know!' 

In response, Jiang Yu caress her hand as if trying to smooth the tension in them.

"There is no need to push yourself when you do not feel well as well. The feast tonight is the important one. Rest for now so that you'll feel better enough to attend then."

'How sweet of Boss to explain well to your lover instead of a resolute 'no'. Still, you need more sugar pumped to your blood!'

"That--- Chenqie understand. Many thanks for the emperor thinking of our well being," Ye Ai Ning gracefully accepted the result. 

'Wait, no! Act more spoiled!'

Wei Yi Yi wanted to spill blood for this two that just won't be together. Is it because there is an audience? Or maybe because it is outside? Maybe she should just lock them in a room sometime.

"Then, my empress, let us return to your chamber." Jiang Yu lowered his head. What he witnessed is a Wei Yi Yi that looks nauseous.

'Boss if only it is not bad to refute you outside, you'll be having a piece of my mind right now.' Wei Yi Yi forced a smile. "Many thanks to your majesty but Chenqie can return on her own--- ack!"

A 'clang' sounded as a sword fell into the ground. One of the guards lost his grip in shock.

The large crowd wanted to rub their eyes thinking they are seeing things.

Did the emperor really just carried the empress?!

If Wei Yi Yi could, she would shout, 'Yes! Bridal style! Quite OOC right?!'

But then she was busy hiding her face onto Jiang Yu's neck. Gripping his robes till her nerves bulging, she imagined she's ripping his hair instead!

This is wrong! There is a swap! Your girl is standing there! Look at her paling!

Everyone looked at them as if watching an alien.

'Thank you for ignoring 'Wei Yi Yi' all this time. Please be kind to me and treat me the same as well!' Wei Yi Yi sob in embarrassment.

She heard Jiang Yu saying 'tell the furens...' and 'handle the situation...'

As well as 'have the consorts take a rest.' and that they must feel better enough by tonight.

Well with the three of them feeling 'unwell', that's definitely a strikeout. Quite a reasonable excuse to cancel any appointment huh.

What killed her in embarrassment is Jiang Liu's repressed laugh. "She said 'ack'. Pft! I thought this is the kind of moment where ladies would shriek."

Do I look like someone to go 'kyaaa! Kyaaa!'?!

If not for Wei Lian holding his shoulder, that brat will definitely roll on the ground laughing at her!

Much to Wei Yi Yi's dismay, she was carried until her chambers.

Even though she struggled and asked to be put down once people looking lessen, Jiang Yu insist for her not to exert herself too much.

Once in her room, she was put down on a soft bed. Jiang Yu instruct Tang Mei to take care of her mistress. He then goes out to supervise the servants into preparing her bath and change of clothes.

Crossing her legs and propping her chin over her clasped fingers, Wei Yi Yi assumed the looks of a great sage thinking about doom.

"Ah Mei, I felt a wrong flag raising," she said as if talking about the end of the world.

"...A flag?"
