Chapter 223 Private Meeting with a Man
Looking at Liu Yuetang with tears in her eyes, Xiao Heng's heart softened.
Forget it, so what if she was engaged?
In the end, he came to me, and now his heart and eyes are full of me.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Liu Yuetang's eyes, "How can I bear to confine Miaomiao?"
"I was too suspicious." He stood up and gently embraced Liu Yuetang in his arms.
Liu Yuetang put her hand on his back and cried, "I don't blame Your Majesty. I also believe that Your Majesty can feel and understand my sincerity and dedication to you over the past two years."
"I have never cared so much about anyone, not even my father."
Every word she said penetrated into Xiao Heng's heart.
Come to think of it, yes, it has been two years since she entered the palace.
He always thinks about himself and when he has something on his mind, she is always by his side, acting as the gentle and understanding flower.
Even when she was wronged, she just swallowed it and never complained.
Moreover, she volunteered to be a pawn, putting herself in danger to help him get rid of the original Ruan family.
Even... she loves herself more than her own life, and is willing to risk her life to block a knife for herself.
It can be said that even if you search the entire harem, it would be difficult to find such a woman.
He should cherish it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng stroked the back of her head and said, "It's my fault. I made Miaomiao cry again."
Liu Yuetang rubbed against his chest, her eyes moving slightly before she got to the point.
"Your Majesty, someone just sent me a letter."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of letter from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Heng.
After reading the letter, Xiao Heng asked, "Miaomiao, do you think this letter wasn't written by Fu Zhixing?"
Liu Yuetang nodded slightly. "That's right. Even though I was engaged to Fu Zhixing before, it was innocent, so how could my life be in danger? So I feel a little suspicious and suspect someone is trying to lure me into going. I'm not afraid, but I'm pregnant with the royal heir, so I don't dare go to the appointment. So I asked Liu Zheng to go in my place."
This was naturally another scheme of the women in the harem. Xiao Heng put down the letter with a gloomy face.
"It's a good thing for Miaomiao to be cautious."
"Come on, I'll go with you to see who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes."
As he stood up, a report came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao requests an audience."
Xiao Heng was slightly stunned. Why was Concubine Zhao here at this critical moment?
He let go of Liu Yuetang's hand and said, "Miaomiao, go to the back and wait for me."
Liu Yuetang responded softly: "Okay."
She turned and walked towards the back hall, and her eyes, which had just been full of warmth, were suddenly covered with gloom.
Xiao Heng would not have failed to guess that Concubine Zhao would come at this time.
I wonder if he will still love this pure and flawless magnolia in his heart, with its icy beauty and graceful figure, has also been tainted by the intrigues of the deep palace?
Concubine Zhao walked into the hall and bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Xiao Heng looked at her: "Why is Concubine Zhao here?"
Concubine Zhao slowly stood up, her expression filled with panic and anxiety. "Your Majesty, I just received a secret letter saying that a concubine in the harem was secretly meeting a man near Liuyun Terrace."
"Oh? That's actually true."
Xiao Heng's tone was stern, but his expression was surprisingly calm, which made Concubine Zhao a little confused.
She continued, "This matter concerns the royal family's reputation. I dare not make a decision on my own, so I hurried to inform the emperor."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes.
The thing he least wanted to happen still happened.
Like other women, Concubine Zhao gradually lost her original intention and became involved in intrigue and deception.
"Then I want to see who is so bold as to have a secret meeting with a man from outside the family."
Concubine Zhao nodded and said, "Then I will go with the Emperor."
She walked forward gracefully and just as she stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Heng's arm, she saw Xiao Heng pause and stop.
Then he raised his voice and said, "Come out."
Concubine Zhao was stunned, looked around, and then looked towards the inner hall.
A familiar palace maid walked out slowly with her head down, and Concubine Zhao turned her head to look at her.
Seeing her raise her eyes and smile lightly, she said, "Sister Zhao Fei."
The moment she saw her face, all the color drained from Concubine Zhao's face. "Why are you here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized her loss of composure and forced herself to remain calm.
"I'm asking why Concubine Xi is in there, and when did she come?"
Liu Yuetang smiled sweetly: "Sister has been here for a while."
She walked to Xiao Heng's side, her black and green sleeves touching each other.
"Just now I heard Sister Zhaofei say that someone was defiling the harem and having an affair with a man. I wonder who you are talking about?"
Concubine Zhao clenched her fists tightly and hesitated to speak.
Xiao Heng said: "In that case, let's go and take a look together."
"If anyone violates the rules, I will not show mercy."
After saying that, Xiao Heng took Liu Yuetang's hand and walked out of the hall.
As soon as the two turned around, Concubine Zhao felt weak all over and staggered back two steps.
Madam Kong quickly supported her and whispered in her ear, "My Lady, please calm down."
She glanced at Xiao Heng and Liu Yuetang, who had already taken several steps, and after making sure they couldn't hear her, she said, "It seems Concubine Xi has seen through this plan. I will go and call Xia Ying back to the palace. Your Majesty, just pretend you know nothing. As long as you insist that someone sent you a secret letter, and then report this to the Emperor, the Emperor will think you were being used and won't blame you anymore."
Concubine Zhao's heart was beating wildly, and she just nodded blankly.
After the two of them left the hall, Madam Kong let go of Concubine Zhao's hand and was about to leave when Liu Yuetang suddenly called out to her, "Madam Kong, it's getting dark. You have to hold Concubine Zhao steady."
Concubine Zhao paused and thought to herself that something was wrong. She didn't expect Liu Yuetang to be so meticulous.
She replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take good care of Your Majesty Zhao Fei."
Liu Yuetang raised a faint smile, and slid her palm slightly down to clasp Xiao Heng's ten fingers.
And Xiao Heng did not show any signs of loosening up.
Seeing the two people holding hands tightly, Concubine Zhao's eyes immediately turned red.
The emperor must have been suspicious of me, and just to make me angry, he pretended to be so intimate with Concubine Xi.
