Li Qingqing kept sobbing and felt very sad. She was not very familiar with the Queen. If the Queen hadn't sent someone to find her, no one would have discovered her death in the palace.
"Do you have any other options now? Today's plan has failed, and I don't know how the emperor will deal with the queen. You go back first, and I will go find you in the evening!"
Zhao Yurou sent her to the door of the palace, stood at the door and waved to her, then turned and left.
Li Qingqing had no choice. He couldn't do anything relying on his own abilities. He might as well trust this person wholeheartedly.
Although the Queen is not in charge of affairs, her position in the entire palace cannot be underestimated.
Fengqi Palace
The huge palace fell into silence, and only the sound of chopsticks and bowls could be heard. Feng Lingyu looked at the people next to her with bated breath. After his little thought was exposed by him, she felt very uncomfortable.
It is said that the emperor is short-sighted and very easy to deceive. As long as a woman uses a few tricks, he can be captured. Today, such a clever design did not allow Li Qingqing to meet him.
It seems that this emperor is really a high-level bitch appraiser. As soon as he made a move, the other side had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Don't look at me like that!"
After Baili Qingchen had eaten and drank enough, he put his chopsticks on the table beside him, glanced at Feng Lingyu sideways, and sneered, "What did the Queen mean by calling them over? Do you want them to have a chance encounter with me?"
?”
"Your Majesty, I really don't mean that. The two empresses often come to Fengqi Palace as guests, and they are used to being free.
They really didn’t come here with the intention of confronting the Emperor today, so the Emperor should stop worrying about this matter, okay.”
Feng Lingyu looked at the man in front of her awkwardly, with the corner of her mouth twitching slightly and a stiff, flattering smile on her face, which made the man even more unhappy.
"If I remember correctly, you usually don't like to laugh. Either you don't have something particularly interesting that can make you laugh, or you have a guilty conscience!
Today’s matter should be the latter, right?”
Baili Qingchen suddenly raised his hand, pinched her chin, and said half-jokingly, "The queen doesn't seduce me herself, but just wants to seduce me with other women. Doesn't the queen feel sad?"
"Your Majesty, you really misunderstood!"
The cold hairs all over Feng Lingyu's body stood up. The man's sneer looked like a lion crawling in the grass waiting for its prey to take the bait. His eyes were full of confidence.
"Have you misunderstood? Queen, you think of me too simply. I have lived in this palace for so long. What kind of women have I not seen? They can understand what they want in a blink of an eye.
The queen's eyes told me that the queen needs my protection, but she doesn't want to serve me.
Li Qingqing is General Li's sister. Although she is a distant cousin, she is also a relative and can be regarded as a retainer of your family.
Do you want to use that woman to seduce me and make me catch her without mercy, or do you want to compete with Concubine Lian?"
Baili Qingchen revealed all his intentions, and Feng Lingyu had no extra expression on her face except an expression of disbelief.
Watching him being silent for a while, he murmured to himself, "Since the emperor already knows, I have nothing to explain."
"I am a very easy person to seduce, if the other person is a queen!"
Baili Qingchen was very angry at her behavior. Feng Lingyu did this just because she didn't want to talk to him, but she had to find someone to rely on in this palace and wanted to train someone to compete with Concubine Lian for favor.
She was enjoying the benefits of being a fisherman, and it was not that Baili Qingchen didn't want to give her this opportunity, but this opportunity needed to be fought for by this woman herself.
"Your Majesty, there's no need for this, right? Whether it's a concubine or someone else, the result is the same.
Feng Lingyu and Concubine Shu are not far away, so they have found their relatives to keep company in public? It seems that I am not wrong in doing so!"
Feng Lingyu regained her indifferent look, staring at the person in front of her, her delicate little face flushed, feeling ashamed for what had just happened.
"You're right and it's all my fault?"
"Am I wrong?" Feng Lingyu raised her eyes and looked at him innocently.
"I am isolated and helpless, my father has been framed, my brother is killing enemies at the border, Your Majesty... I only rely on myself!"
Baili Qingchen was slightly startled. This girl was speaking from her heart. Anyone else would find a way out for themselves. If it were anyone else, Feng Lingyu's method might be effective.
"I didn't take good care of you and caused you to get hurt. I'm really sorry! I've already investigated that matter.
The crazy concubine who caused you injury was the late emperor's concubine, and the person behind it was the Queen Mother.
There is no way I can break up with the Queen Mother now!"
In Baili Qingchen's eyes, there was nothing but guilt and intolerance. Feng Lingyu was right, a girl who is isolated and helpless should protect herself.
And as the emperor's woman, she cannot just point to the emperor for protection. Baili Qingchen has a heavy responsibility for her family, country and the world.
"I can understand the emperor, and please understand me!"
"What I want is not your understanding. Sometimes I wish you could lose your temper with me. As you just said, you have no one to rely on, but you can try to put your own thoughts and confusions into
I said.
I will try my best to protect you, but if I can't protect you, I won't be able to live alone in this world!"
Baili Qingchen's words were light, but his eyes were firm. After meeting this girl, all his plans were messed up, including his firm heart.
"I'm already working hard, trying hard to please the emperor, trying hard to make you happy, but that's the kind of person I am, and I can't be like them, hanging around you all day long!
You have your own things to do, and I don’t want to disturb you, nor do I want to interfere with your decision. If the emperor wants me to become a woman like other concubines, I repeat, it is absolutely impossible!"
Feng Lingyu took a deep breath and lowered her tone. She really didn't have the strength to argue with this man. After being beaten last time, her brain was really damaged, and sometimes she would have inexplicable headaches.
I have been recuperating recently. I need to get enough sleep, and I cannot use my brain for a long time. Arguing with others or trying to reason with others is really a very taxing task.
Seeing the girl's fatigue, Baili Qingchen nodded gently, "I understand what you mean. The days are long and we have a lot of time. I just hope that you... don't think about pushing me to others!
"
The man stared deeply at the girl in front of him, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and asked her to look at her.
"Didn't my plan be exposed by you? I will definitely not use it in the future!
You don't belong to me in the first place. If you did, I wouldn't be able to push you away even if I pushed hard! Are you right, Your Majesty?"
Feng Lingyu slowly relaxed. He was still the little eunuch she knew, a little childish and a little cute.
