The Path of the Cannon Fodder's Counterattack

Ch-58

The Emperor shook his head and fished out a Command Plate from his bosom, throwing it in front of Ling Xiao.

At loss, Ling Xiao blinked his eyes, staring at the golden Command Plate.

The word 'Excused' was written on this Command Plate. If Ling Xiao's memory wasn't deceiving him and his mind was not misinterpreting it wrong, the golden plate before his eyes is one that was used to exempt death.

With this plate, even if it is the Emperor, no one could easily take his life.

Did the Emperor mean, this was for him?

While astounded, a black glided boot appeared in front of him.

He didn't know when, but the Emperor had already walked in front of him.

He had his hands behind his back, overlooking Ling Xiao, "You fear death. That is why We will give you a shield. As long as you do not betray Us or commit treason, then We will guarantee your life."

Ling Xiao's eyes widen, stunned. So what the Emperor meant was...

He wasn't going to pursue everything that had happened up to now!?

Including the fact that he wasn't a eunuch!?

"Stand up." The Emperor spoke.

Ling Xiao stared blankly at the golden death exemption plate. Since this happiness that overwhelmed him now was so sudden, he was feeling helpless.

Ling Xiao's gaze was slack and his movements stiff, watching the Emperor absentmindedly. His expression appeared very stupid causing the Emperor to purse his lips and ask, "What? Not satisfied?"

"Nonono." Ling Xiao quickly shook his head and tightly grabbed the golden death exemption plate. He was afraid the Emperor would regret giving it to him.

The Emperor raised an eyebrow.

Noticing how his actions right now were a bit too rude, Ling Xiao relaxed his grip on the plate and promptly replied, "I just felt overwhelmed at this sudden happiness."

"Happiness?" The Emperor raised his eyebrow again, "So a death exemption is happiness for you?"

"......" Ling Xiao went silent. He naturally couldn't tell the Emperor that it was so. But in fact, the death exemption was bringing him much happiness. After all, Ling Xiao had always believed he would be killed by the Emperor.

Even after being giving the title of King Consort or even after the two of them got married, Ling Xiao will still be unable to get rid of that line of thought.

In his past lifetime, the Emperor's implacable hatred for lies already made a profound impression in Ling Xiao's memories. He really did not believe the Emperor would let him off so easily.

Even now, as he was holding the golden death exemption plate, Ling Xiao still couldn't believe it. He was not sure if this was all real or if he was just dreaming. Was he really let off this easily?

Ling Xiao's momentarily helpless look was seen by the Emperor.

Ling Xiao's dumbstruck appearance was something the Emperor had never seen before. He felt it was a novelty view and decided to stare some more.

The more he stared the more he found Ling Xiao's handsome and delicate appearance, even while looking foolish, bewitching as always. Especially those lips he liked the most, slightly long and agape, allowing to see his pearly white teeth.

He unconsciously remembered just how sweet and soft those lips were, and how pleasurable it was when they tangled and he got a taste of that mouth.

The Emperor's eyes darken and he slightly approached Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao had not come back to his senses and was still staring at the Emperor in a frank and blunt manner. Those pure eyes knocked against the bottom of his tranquil heart, causing a ripple to appear there.
