Xie Jingrun was taken aback. "You suspect that Guo Li is Rong Yiyi in disguise?"
Rong Qingqing nodded. "After thinking it over, if Guo Li is an old acquaintance of ours and resents me, then it can only be Rong Yiyi." She paused, looking at the man's handsome face, and suddenly added, "Of course, Hua Yin also hates me, but you sent her to Huaizhou and she can never come back. Moreover, even if she could come back, she wouldn't be able to do these things in a short time. If we rule her out, then it can only be Rong Yiyi."
When Xie Jingrun heard her mention Huayin for no apparent reason, he paused, gave her a scrutinizing look, and cleverly changed the subject, saying directly, "Then I will send someone to Xuzhou now."
"Hmm." Rong Qingqing nodded, and seeing that he was still sitting there, she couldn't help but urge him, "Why don't you hurry up and go?"
"No rush." Xie Jingrun put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms, while his other hand skillfully untied her belt. "Although you did all the right things tonight, you still deserve some punishment."
Rong Qingqing realized what he meant by punishment, and her legs trembled involuntarily. "You said I was doing the right thing... um!"
The unspoken words were stuck in his throat.
Xie Jingrun removed the hairpin holding her hair in place, and instantly, her long, black hair cascaded down, carrying a faint fragrance.
A look of fascination flashed across his dark eyes, and his kisses became increasingly domineering.
Before long, he stripped her of all the men's clothing that was an eyesore.
The room was enchanting.
The next day, Rong Qingqing didn't get up until almost noon.
She rubbed her messy hair, feeling ashamed and indignant as she thought about Xie Jingrun's actions towards her last night.
That scoundrel Xie Jingrun...
However, realizing it was getting late, I hurriedly got up, dressed, and washed up.
After having her meal, she went directly to Taichen Palace.
Although Emperor Zhaojing probably already knew that she had redeemed Guo Li, she still felt it necessary to tell him.
When she arrived at Taichen Palace, she was surprised to find Haifu already waiting there.
Seeing her approach, he quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus has been waiting for you for a long time."
Rong Qingqing was taken aback. "Did the Emperor Emeritus know I was coming?"
"Yes." Haifu nodded. "Please come in, Your Highness."
Rong Qingqing had no choice but to follow her into Taichen Palace.
The weather was fine today, and Emperor Zhaojing sat at the stone table in the courtyard, playing chess by himself.
Seeing Rong Qingqing enter, he greeted her, "Your Majesty has come at the perfect time. Please play a game of chess with me."
Rong Qingqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "Father, I don't know how to play chess."
Emperor Zhaojing paused for a moment, then said kindly, "It's alright. What are you good at?"
Rong Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "I only know how to play Gomoku."
"Gomoku? What kind of game is that?" Emperor Zhaojing looked bewildered, clearly having never heard of it.
Rong Qingqing explained, "It means that each side holds a piece of one color, and whoever can connect five pieces in a line first wins."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaojing became somewhat interested and said, "Then let's play Gomoku."
"good."
Although Emperor Zhaojing had never played Gomoku before, he quickly got the hang of it after listening to Rong Qingqing explain the rules.
On the contrary, Rong Qingqing lost several games because she hadn't played for too long.
However, Gomoku was too simple, and Emperor Zhaojing lost interest after winning a few games.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing took the opportunity to bring up Guo Li.
"Father, Miss Guo has been redeemed from Chunyan Tower. I have also instructed Marquis Weiyuan to take good care of her. You can rest assured."
