Baili Qingchen snatched the cup from her hand and drank it all in one gulp. Then he sat next to her, looked at her confused face, and said with a faint smile, "You know I'm coming in?"
"Of course I know. I spread incense ash at the door before I went out.
I was afraid that someone was plotting against me. When I came in, I noticed a huge footprint. If it was an assassin, he would take action after Sunflower left and kept peeking there. I must be you!"
Feng Lingyu rolled her eyes at him disdainfully and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't go do business at this late hour, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see you. My eyes are swollen. It seems that you were crying quite seriously today!"
Baili Qingchen held her face in his hands. Under the dim light, he could clearly see her red and swollen eyes, as if they were filled with tears, which made people feel distressed.
"You're crying too hard here, aren't you? I've heard from Xiao Liuzi that your acting is very emotional, and you're going to comfort you for the rest of your life?"
Do you think I should let him die tonight, or should I let him die?"
When Baili Qingchen thought that that man dared to attack his queen, she wanted to cut him into pieces immediately.
He gritted his teeth and looked at the girl in front of him with a faint smile and said, "Don't listen to these people's nonsense in the future. Everything in the palace is within my control.
If I don't kill him now, it has its own purpose, but now he has stepped on my bottom line!"
"Don't make a fuss. He just said some weird things. It's actually not bad. It's better than those disgusting little eunuchs!"
Feng Lingyu felt very sick when she thought of the little eunuch who once wanted to hurt her.
"Didn't that little eunuch ask you to kill him? Afterwards, he dared to wear his clothes and lie around!"
Baili Qingchen gently scratched her nose and said with a fond smile, "I originally thought it was a docile little kitten, but I didn't expect it to be a sleeping tiger!"
"You even know this?"
"Of course I do, I have already said that everything in the palace is within my control.
Of course there are things I don’t know about, but those things are insignificant!”
Baili Qingchen's expression was extremely indifferent, and it didn't look like he was lying. It was true that there were many things in the palace that were beyond their control, but that didn't mean that he didn't know what was going on.
"I'm not curious about other things at all. I'm just curious. You clearly know that those women are having an affair with that guard of yours. Why don't you expose them? And you still allow them to mess around?"
Feng Lingyu really couldn't imagine a man who could tolerate his woman messing around with others. What on earth did such a man think?
Looking at him very curiously, Baili Qingchen's expression did not change at all. He grabbed her hand and rubbed it gently.
"Because I have never regarded them as my women. I don't like everyone in this harem except you.
It doesn't matter who they are with, because they will be solved sooner or later.
Didn't you say that they are actually quite pitiful? If they are lonely in this deep palace, why not have a secret love affair to cultivate their sentiments?"
Feng Lingyu frowned, "When did I say such a thing?"
"That's what I saw in your book! Stop pretending to be ignorant here. Didn't you publish a book for them? All the contents are recorded.
That book is now so popular in the palace, Concubine Shu and Yu Sheng must have noticed it, but they can't find who the author is now!"
Baili Qingchen especially admired Feng Lingyu's talent. This woman's brain was completely different from that of normal people. Her ideas were very avant-garde.
If you use traditional concepts to communicate with her, people will just think you are a country bumpkin.
"I didn't expect you to remember all the conversations there so clearly. You are really a big fan of mine, but why do I remember that you have never bought my book!"
Feng Lingyu rolled her eyes at the man in front of her. He always looked at it in vain, or snatched it away from Xiao Liuzi, and then returned it to Xiao Liuzi after looking at it.
In his memory, he didn't seem to have escaped from the money. Once he wanted to use the money to buy something, but the two of them couldn't reach an agreement in the end. That was the first time they met, and now I think about it as if it happened yesterday.
"I'm the emperor. If I let you sell books in the palace, it's fine if I confiscate your fees. How can you still ask for money from me?"
"Then you are unreasonable, and all the money I earn is not used on me.
When I was renovating the Leng Palace, there was no color at all. I paid for everything myself.
Fortunately, I had the foresight, otherwise, I wouldn’t have had such a good room to live in now!”
Feng Lingyu was very emotional and looked around. Fortunately, she had been smart before and renovated the house. The musty smell before was gone.
"If you want to go out, I can take you out now!
You have two choices before you, either stay with me all day long, or stay here!"
Baili Qingchen respected her choice very much. If she let him keep her by his side regardless of everyone's objections, he would be happy to do so.
Anyway, since ancient times, others have thought that this emperor was a puppet emperor with no brains. He didn't care about other people's opinions, he only cared about whether the two of them were happy when they were with her.
"Then I'd better choose to stay here. When I can't stay here any longer, you can take me back!"
Feng Lingyu didn't even think about it. Staying by his side all day long was something she had never dared to consider. Moreover, the two of them had been together for a long time, and they would get tired of it after a while.
It's better to be like this now, each going about his or her own business, and licking each other's wounds when they get hurt.
"I know you made this choice. The two people at the door were not sent to monitor you, but to protect you.
But...it's a bit unprofessional, you won't see them tomorrow!"
Baili Qingchen had murderous intentions, and the girl next to him also felt it.
She grabbed his hand and shook her head hastily, "Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and don't do it for the rest of your life.
If you kill all these people, Concubine Lian will definitely notice it, and you will cause unnecessary trouble again!
Moreover, Yu Sheng is Concubine Shu's lover. If the emperor really orders this man to be killed, do you know how terrible it would be for a woman to take revenge?"
Feng Lingyu looked at the man in front of her very seriously and held his hand tightly. He didn't seem to understand how ugly these women were in their hearts.
"Is the Queen worried about me?" Baili Qingchen looked at her affectionately, suddenly held up her face and pecked her gently a few times.
"Don't worry, I will protect myself well and I will always be with you!"
The man's actions made the girl panic. She lowered her head with a red face and whispered softly,
