Zhu Fuli's body stiffened slightly. Could she refuse?

He is the emperor, it seems he cannot refuse.

"My lady, don't you want to sleep with me?"

Zhu Fuli frowned, "I don't want to."

"But, he is the emperor, and you are his concubine." Siqi also frowned. The princess was unwilling, but she could not refuse.

Zhu Fuli sighed and said, "Bring me the zither."

Let him sleep with her, she just needs to endure it and find a way to avoid it later.

"yes."

"Secretary." She called out while Siqi went to get the zither.

"Why is the harem so quiet today?"

According to the practices of the concubines in the past, they would come to her house in groups from time to time to find things for her to do, or they would intentionally or unintentionally reveal their desire to take sides with her.

She was in trouble, but they didn't come up with such a good opportunity. Zhu Fuli even suspected that they had changed their nature.

"Not long after you fell into a coma yesterday, Zhao Zhaoyuan, no, Concubine Zhao and the others said they wanted to come visit you, but they were driven away by the emperor."

"All the concubines who came were demoted by one level, and Concubine Zhao was demoted by two levels."

"Oh, if someone comes to see me next time, just tell them that I fell into the water and am not feeling well, so it is not appropriate for me to see guests. If you want to see justice, go find Concubine Liang and the others, don't come to me."

"yes."

After Yan Tinglan finished reviewing the memorials, he picked up the Myriad Worlds Pearl that was sleeping beside him and locked it in a box.

It was already getting dark, and he went to Changle Palace again.

"Your Majesty, your servant greets you." Zhu Fuli was sitting at the table. When she saw him come in, she stood up and saluted.

The food is already on the table.

"Please sit down. No need to be polite."

Yan Tinglan sat down in front of her and said, "Have your meal. If I come late in the future, you can eat first and don't starve yourself."

"Yes." Zhu Fuli agreed verbally, but in his heart he was a little reluctant that he would come again in the future.

It would be better if he didn't come, she would be happy and at ease.

The two of them ate quietly, and Yan Tinglan visited her from time to time.

Zhu Fuli tried her best to ignore his gaze, and put it down after two quarters of an hour, looking at the table in front of her, waiting for him quietly.

Yan Tinglan's eyes darkened for a moment. After finishing the meal, he asked someone to take the food away and said, "Wash up."

Zhu Fuli nodded, went into the inner room, and took a long time to come out.

Yan Tinglan was sitting in a chair reading a book, the candlelight illuminating his handsome features.

Noticing her coming out, he raised his eyes and saw her coming out in a robe.

Yan Tinglan stood up, and the secretary came in to report: "Your Majesty, the maid of Concubine Shu came to say that the Third Prince is ill, and asked you to go and see him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fuli said, "Your Majesty, please go and take a look. The Third Prince must want his father's company when he is feeling unwell."

Yan Tinglan walked to the inner room and said, "No, let her call the imperial physician. I can't treat illnesses."

I won’t go to the meeting.

Zhu Fuli stood there in a daze.

The librarian did not expect Yan Tinglan's answer to be like this. She looked at Zhu Fuli, "Your Majesty..."

The Empress really wanted the Emperor to leave, but the Emperor had no intention of leaving at all.

"Go out." Zhu Fuli pursed her lips and said.

"yes."

Still can't escape.

Zhu Fuli got on the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, and turned his back to the outside of the bed.

Hopefully he could see that she was resisting.

Yan Tinglan came out and saw her like this, his fingertips curled up, "Won't you leave some quilt for me?"

Zhu Fuli tensed her body and let half of the quilt go, but still faced him with her back.

Yan Tinglan got on the bed, reached out to hug her and made her face him.

The warmth and touch of the other person's skin came through the thin pajamas. Surrounded by his breath, Zhu Fuli stiffened his body and dared not move.

He patted her back gently and looked into her eyes, "Don't you like me touching you?"
