Chapter 222 Why didn’t he expose her?
Chen Yaoxing's eyes moved, and he said with a smile, "I thought that the emperor's toasting etiquette is different from others. I will do it right away."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
As the spicy and mellow liquid flowed down his throat, Chen Yaoxing's mind became unusually clear.
Bullshit toasting rules are different, it is clearly Shen Qingyi who is different.
The only time he could refuse to drink was when Shen Qingyi toasted him.
What is the underlying meaning?
Is Shen Qingyi the only one who doesn't have to respect him?
Haha, you are really good at playing double standards.
After a few drinks, Chen Yaoxing used the excuse of going to the bathroom to escape. Before leaving, he stretched out his leg and secretly kicked Shen Qingyi, giving her a look.
Shen Qingyi, who was eating, said: "..."
Of course she understood that he was not really going to the toilet, but was creating an opportunity for her to seduce the emperor.
The palace maids and eunuchs serving in the hall were sent out on the pretext of something after he had toasted.
When he left, she and the emperor were the only ones left in the palace.
Shen Yaoxing flashed very fast.
After he left, Shen Qingyi suppressed her panic and psychological discomfort, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and took a sip.
This wine cup was the one that the emperor had drunk from before and then returned.
Everyone in the Shen family is a bit of a germaphobe. Although despising the emperor is a serious crime of disrespect, Shen Qingyi still inevitably finds it a little unbearable in her heart.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not touch the wine glass, but now, in order to put the blame on the wine, she had no choice but to endure it.
This batch of fairy wine was spicier than she had expected.
After just a sip, she couldn't help coughing because of the spiciness.
Her entire throat was burning and very uncomfortable. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and kept coughing softly, and a layer of mist could not help but appear in her eyes.
Suddenly, a big hand patted her back gently. Before she could react, a gentle voice came to her ears.
"Drink some water and it will make you feel better."
Then, a glass of water appeared in front of her.
Shen Qingyi took the water cup in a daze and drank it in small sips. Although her throat was very uncomfortable, she still drank very slowly. Her brain seemed to have frozen and was blank.
"If you can't drink, why would you drink?"
Why?
Of course it's to pass the buck, Shen Qingyi subconsciously replied in her heart, and suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip.
Her eyes moved, she took a deep breath to prepare herself mentally, put the water cup on the table, then closed her eyes, made up her mind and leaned into Xiao Jue's arms.
"Your Majesty, I am drunk..."
“…”
Xiao Jue's body stiffened immediately, his pupils suddenly constricted, and a myriad of emotions flashed through his dark eyes in an instant.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.
He had only drunk a few drops of wine, but he dared to say he was drunk, yet he still called him and her by the correct names.
This little girl is so silly yet cute.
It seems that she came to the palace today with some intention.
Thinking about Chen Yaoxing's behavior today, Xiao Jue became even more certain that this kid was definitely involved.
The brother and sister, one the mastermind and the other an accomplice, were plotting something for an ulterior motive.
Haha, interesting.
"Really? Then I'll help you go and rest. Stay in the palace today. Don't go back."
He held her waist with one hand and held her in his arms.
Shen Qingyi: “???”
She risked her life to make such a reckless move, waiting for him to fly into a rage and push her to the ground...
But who could tell her why the development of the situation was different from what she had imagined?
The emperor, who had never been interested in women, did not push her away angrily. Instead, he hugged her and offered to let her stay overnight in the palace.
how so?
Shen Qingyi's heart began to beat wildly, almost jumping out of her chest. She vaguely realized that this matter had gotten a bit out of hand and was about to get out of hand.
what to do?
What should I do next?
Woo, damn Chen Yaoxing, he didn't even teach her what to do next.
Her head was buried in the man's broad chest, so she didn't see that the man was looking down and admiring her panic with interest.
Oh, it turns out that she dressed up so beautifully just to seduce him.
Unfortunately, she lacked courage and could only seduce him to this extent before going any further.
But, why?
Why did she suddenly come to seduce him?
Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Before she could react, her body suddenly became airborne and she was lifted high up.
Shen Qingyi couldn't pretend anymore, she immediately opened her eyes, looked at him in horror and panic, her voice thick with tears.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let me down..."
Didn’t he say before that he would help her to rest?
How did it turn into a hug?
The girl in his arms was like a frightened rabbit, exuding an air of uneasiness all over her body, but she didn't dare to move.
Xiao Jue raised the corners of his lips and walked towards the inner hall with steady steps. His dark eyes looked ahead, and his low voice contained a hint of subtle ridicule.
"Miss Shen sobered up so quickly?"
"No, I'm still drunk..."
She replied hurriedly, then suddenly realized something. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and looked at him with horror.
Oh no, she's been exposed, right?
It must have been exposed, right?
If the emperor knew that she was pretending to be drunk, would he punish her for deceiving the emperor?
No, no, no, this doesn't seem to be the point. The point is, if the emperor knew that she was pretending to be drunk, wouldn't he know that she was deliberately seducing him?
And she can no longer take it for granted that the blame is on the alcohol?
She was charged with the crime of seduction and deceiving the emperor. Now, even if her father and younger sister came, they couldn't save her, right?
It’s over, it’s over…
Shen Qingyi widened her eyes, feeling extremely panicked.
Seeing her so flustered, Xiao Jue frowned, raised his legs and walked towards the inner hall with steady steps.
"Well, since you're drunk, you must be walking unsteadily. So don't move. I'll carry you to rest."
Shen Qingyi: “???”
Wait, this seemed different from what she imagined. Not only did the emperor not punish her, he also said such caring words to her.
Didn't he see that she was pretending to be drunk?
Did you see it?
If he could see through it, why didn't he expose her?
If you don’t see it…
No, no, no, the emperor certainly would have noticed it. How dumb would he have to be to not be able to see something so obvious?
If he is really that stupid, how can he govern the country and handle state affairs?
So, it seems he came, but for some reason he didn't expose her.
After realizing this, Shen Qingyi didn't know whether she should be happy or worried. Her heart was extremely complicated and her mind was in a mess.
Before she could form any thoughts, something soft suddenly touched her back.
Shen Qingyi immediately came to her senses and looked around, only to find that he had carried her to the bed without her knowing when, and put her on the large and soft rosewood bed with carved gold.
This is the bed of Fenghua Palace...
The girl's pupils trembled and she became panicked.
"emperor……"
