Regarding Dongling Yuanyong's almost unreasonable dissatisfaction, Ximen Yourong didn't have any bad feelings.
However, she said innocently and puzzledly:
"Didn't Your Majesty not allow me to breathe for you?"
Didn't he dislike her for breathing into his wound yesterday? Why was he dissatisfied now that she stopped breathing?
"When did I say I wouldn't let you breathe?"
"Your Majesty, you want me to call you?"
"I don't care...!"
Poof~
A suppressed laugh made Dongling Yuanyong glare at Eunuch Cao, who was holding back his old face.
As soon as Eunuch Cao saw Dongling Yuanyong's cold eyes, he immediately returned to being serious and pretended not to see or listen.
But he was holding back countless laughter in his heart. Who would have thought that the arrogant master he had served his entire life would still have such a childish side?
"Eunuch Cao, are you having a hard time enduring it...?"
Donglingyuan Yong's cold eyes shot towards Eunuch Cao. Even though Eunuch Cao looked serious, his old eyes that looked away still betrayed his forbearance to laugh.
"Return to Your Majesty, I can't bear anything!"
Eunuch Cao bent down and lowered his head to hide his "disrespect" in respect. When he looked up again, Eunuch Cao found that the knife-carrying gaze was even colder, and he was a little scared because of this.
Ximen Yourong looked at their master and servant, with one look that could devour people, and the other with stunned expressions that looked different from human beings. She knew that Dongling Yuanhao was the one who was angry with her, so she said to Eunuch Cao at the right time:
"Eunuch Cao, you go out first, I will just wait for Your Majesty."
Eunuch Cao did not dare to listen directly to Ximen Yourong's words. He first glanced at Dongling Yuanyong.
Dongling Yuanyong withdrew his eyes coldly, and Eunuch Cao immediately understood his permission.
After Eunuch Cao took the other maids and eunuchs out, Ximen Yourong sat next to Dongling Yuan Yong, helped him add a bowl of meat porridge, put it gently in front of him and said to please him:
"Your Majesty, please finish your breakfast first and then teach me a lesson, okay?"
Dongling Yuanyong was still childishly angry. He even snorted and turned away, ignoring Ximen Yourong.
"Ha...!" Ximen Yourong suddenly covered his mouth and laughed.
Perhaps because her laughter was rare, Dongling Yuanyong looked at her silently, but the dissatisfaction on his face had disappeared, but there was curiosity and inquiry!
Ximen Yourong was so touched by him that he touched his face:
"Why does Your Majesty look at me like this? Is there something on my face?"
"Ximen Yourong..."
"...?" She waited for his unfinished words with her eyes.
"You are now...not afraid of others?"
She is becoming more and more natural in front of him. Even if she pretends to be polite, she is a little more playful, instead of just trying not to make mistakes. She is not even afraid of making mistakes anymore, which... is actually quite good!
Ximen Yourong looked at him and asked:
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of saving my life?"
From the beginning, she never thought that Dongling Yuanyong would give her a good life, and she was almost certain that her and her nephew's lives would be on thin ice.
However, during the time he entered the palace, he deliberately felt sorry for her, but never caused her any harm.
Moreover, he helped her again and again. What made her even more puzzled and surprised was that until now, he, a dignified emperor, was "at odds" with her!
But is it possible for him to treat her as his wife?
Her indifferent question made Dongling Yuanyong flash his eyes. After a while, he said:
"I am never afraid of keeping you alive!"
"In this case, I have nothing to fear Your Majesty!"
"Why?"
"Because I just don't want to die!"
"Oh……!"
Ximen Yourong's words "I just don't want to die" made Dongling Yuanyong laugh out loud. Now he has no doubt at all that Ximen Yourong's so-called "living" has nothing to do with Ximen's family. Her desire to live is just her own wish.
Just alive!
In fact, when she told her about her experience of being born with cold poison, he sent someone to go to the "Shengci'an" she mentioned.
In "Shengci'an", he got traces that she actually lived there.
Given her family background, Ximen Yourong was abandoned and had to spend so many years in the "Shengci'an" in the mountains. This shows how little attention she has in the Ximen family!
Therefore, Dongling Yuanyong believed that Ximen Yourong did not have much emotional support for Ximen.
Ximen Yourong wasn't sure if Dongling Yuanyong's smile was suspicious. She looked at him and asked:
"Your Majesty, you don't believe what I say?"
"what you think?"
"I think that even if His Majesty doesn't fully believe it, at least he doesn't completely deny it."
"How can I see it?"
"The injuries sustained by His Majesty may seem scary to the outside, but His Majesty can move freely and is not at all weak from serious injuries. Now he asked me to come to Longtai Palace to serve him, and he did not shy away from letting me see His Majesty's true condition. This shows that Your Majesty is not
Don’t worry that I will reveal His Majesty’s true situation to the outside world.”
"What else?"
"Your Majesty's injury was not an accident, but... intentional!"
Ximen Yourong bluntly stated the fact that she should have ignored it, and she didn't want to get involved too much.
However, she had a vague feeling that she should be involved in his unknown plan.
If he didn't want her life, she actually didn't want to hide from him secretly.
Dongling Yuanyong smiled faintly, and he knew that she could understand the deep meaning of his injury.
However, since he allowed her to stay close to him, he would naturally not be afraid to let her know that his injury was not that serious.
However, he asked intentionally:
"Whether my injury was an accident or intentional, what does this have to do with whether I believe you or not?"
Ximen Yourong looked up at him, she hesitated for a while and said:
"Whether your Majesty believes it or not is another matter, but your Majesty wants me to be here. I should be able to be used in your majesty's plan."
Dongling Yuanyong frowned slightly, he did not deny that he did have other motives for letting her come to Longtai Palace.
However, only he knew that while using her, he actually wanted to see her.
Especially when he heard that she was living like a fish in the cold moon palace and didn't care whether he was well or not, he was even more angry and wanted to see her even more.
However, he didn't know whether he should admit to her that he just wanted to see her more than using her.
"Then Queen, tell me again, why do you want to get hurt deliberately, and what do you want to use you for?"
After all, he chose to ignore the emotions that he couldn't understand because he knew that he was not ready to face the changes in his heart.
"I don't know that!"
Ximen Yourong answered truthfully, she really didn't know what he wanted to do.
Dongling Yuanyong looked at her, but said nothing. He began to eat slowly.
He asked Ximen Yourong to come to Longtai Palace not because he really needed her services. In fact, he had already found out that the person behind the sleeping pills given to Ximen Yourong on the wedding day was You Kouyi.
It's just that the whole process seemed to be arranged secretly in the palace by You Kouyi with the help of the power behind the You family, but it didn't seem to be the case, so it seemed that You Kouyi was hiding deeply.
If he didn't investigate carefully, he wouldn't be sure that You Kouyi was targeting Ximen Yourong from the beginning.
The reason why he went to check on You Kouyi first was because You Kouyi was the person who had the most motive to attack Ximen Yourong.
After finding out, he chose to remain silent. He was originally taboo about You Kouyi's origin. If she was a woman without any scheming, he might treat her fairly.
However, she had been plotting in his harem from the beginning, and later showed herself as an impeccable lady, which made it even more necessary for him to be on guard against You Kouyi.
This time, Ximen Yourong didn't know about his injury at the first time. It must have been arranged by You Kouyi. Her purpose was obvious. She wanted Ximen Yourong to become a queen who did not fulfill her duties.
As long as Ximen Yourong makes mistakes everywhere, he will be said to be unqualified to be the queen.
You Kouyi probably thought that Ximen Yourong could not become a qualified queen, so she would have a great chance of sitting on the throne of the queen.
It is conceivable that You Kouyi's ambition may be greater than imagined.
However, judging from the current situation, Dongling Yuanyong is more certain that Ximen Yourong is the most suitable position for the queen.
It was because of You Kouyi's cleverness that Dongling Yuanyong took advantage of his injuries to avoid her.
This is also one of the reasons why Ximen Yourong appeared in Longtai Hall.
He gave all his "pampering" to Ximen Yourong. If You Kouyi couldn't keep calm and did anything to Ximen Yourong because of this, he also wanted to see how Ximen Yourong could respond.
If Ximen Yourong doesn't have the ability to resist external aggression on her own, she will be destroyed sooner or later. In that case, it also proves that she is not qualified to be used by him...!
Ximen Yourong "served" Dongling Yuanyong in Longtai Hall day and night for three consecutive days, and his wounds gradually healed.
Because the prince of Xiahou Kingdom had been waiting for many days, Dongling Yuanyong ordered a palace banquet to be held to welcome the distinguished guests.
Ximen Yourong also returned to Lengyue Palace to prepare for the palace banquet prepared for Prince Xiahou.
Because of the special occasion, Ximen Yourong specially dressed up the next day. She asked Xiang Qing to choose a set of exquisite pale white clothes, and also put some gorgeous beads on her hair that she usually did not like to wear, and her face
I also applied rouge and gouache...!
It's a shame that Dongling Yuanyong didn't know what was going on. As soon as she returned to Lengyue Palace yesterday, he had someone deliver a whole box of valuable jewelry and gorgeous clothes. Otherwise, she would have nothing to wear today.
of!
After a lot of trouble, Xiang Qing looked at her master's extraordinary beauty, and she happily said:
"The young lady is so beautiful. Today, the young lady is definitely the most dazzling one in the palace banquet. No one can compare with her!"
Ximen Yourong didn't say anything. She just glanced at herself in the bronze mirror, looking graceful and delicate. She sighed to herself that dressing up was so tiring.
When she stepped out of the inner palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who were cleaning the palace courtyard immediately stopped what they were doing, and they all stared at Ximen Yourong involuntarily.
Suddenly~clang~
A palace maid standing not far from Ximen Yourong suddenly dropped the water basin in her hand to the ground.
Ximen Yourong's dress was slightly wet from the spilled water. The palace maid who accidentally made a mistake was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:
"This slave deserves to die, please forgive me!"
"Juan'er, why are you so reckless?"
Xiang Qing bent down to wipe Ximen Yourong's dress with her handkerchief, while blaming the palace maid who called Juan'er.
"The queen has become so beautiful that I was distracted for a moment... slave... slave..."
"Get up and be careful next time!"
Ximen Yourong didn't care about Juan'er's rashness, let alone Juan'er's praise. She looked at Xiang Qing and ordered quietly:
"Let's go, or it will be too late."
The palace banquet was held in the "Yu Lou Palace". Her Lengyue Palace was not close to the "Yu Lou Palace" and she had to walk a lot.
However, she didn't expect that she wouldn't have to walk, because Dongling Yuanyong sent a comfortable soft sedan to pick her up...!
