Chapter 144 Heartache



Qiao Yege lowered his head, as a token of gratitude to the emperor for listening to his advice.

The emperor took a step back, and his tone became cold: "If you feel that my special preference for you has caused a burden, then I have nothing to say. What Queen's throne, what special preference, what dismissal of the harem, in the end, I was the only one who moved myself, it's really ridiculous."

The emperor's eyes flashed. Even though it was bright outside and the sun was shining brightly, his eyes were still very gentle, but the disappointment in them could not be hidden.

Qiao Yege felt that every word the emperor said was like a thorn piercing her heart.

Qiao Yege even found that it hurt every time he breathed.

The emperor did not, as he had done before, rush over to ask what had happened in response to Qiao Yuge's pale face.

Instead, he just stood there and finally walked away without even looking back.

Qiao Yege bit her lip, trying not to cry.

But when the emperor disappeared around the corner, Qiao Yege still shed tears, her eyes flashed, and all the sadness at this moment surged up like a tide, drowning her.

She slowly squatted on the ground, hugged her legs, and tears fell down.

She just felt that it was right for her to say these words, but she still couldn't give up her heart that had already been shaken.

At this time, a man's voice was heard: "Are you crying? It seems that you like my brother very much?"

Qiao Yege was startled and quickly stood up, only to see that it was Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang was leaning against a big tree next to him with his hands behind his back, a branch in his mouth, looking very relaxed.

Qiao Yege took a breath, reached out and quickly wiped her tears, shook her head, bowed to Xiao Liang, and stood there without saying a word.

When Xiao Liang saw Qiao Yuge's aggrieved look, he suddenly felt a little amused.

He walked up, stretched out his slender fingers, wiped away the tears on Qiao Yege's face, frowned slightly, and asked: "Did the king hear it? My brother clearly gave you a chance, but you rejected it yourself. If that's the case, why are you crying so sadly?"

Qiao Yuge thought that she was just a maid, her needs were minimal, and she didn't need too many people around her.

Now she doesn't know how to explain to others the relationship between herself and the emperor.

So she sorted out her expression and said to Xiao Liang: "Your Highness Prince Liang is joking. It has nothing to do with the emperor. Your Highness is just being suspicious."

Seeing Qiao Yuge was anxious to distance herself from the matter, Xiao Liang felt that it was meaningless, so he said to Qiao Yuge, "I have seen it all, so I will not say anything. I came here today to tell you all this just to comfort you. You may not know that your relationship with the emperor has long been spread throughout the harem."

After Xiao Liang said this, he suddenly loosened the fan in his hand, leaned forward and said to Qiao Yuge, "You know, many people say that the emperor originally liked men, but it was because of you that he liked women. You have made a great contribution!"

Qiao Yuge was a little surprised, and was really amazed that these people in the harem were so boring. How could they even discuss such a thing?

She naturally didn't want to be the subject of discussion, but the emperor had given her too many reasons to attract attention.

She lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Since the prince already knows how I rejected the emperor, can you please not spread this information?"

Xiao Liang frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Today's situation, anyone would think that I rejected the emperor, but he is the emperor after all. I don't want others to think that the emperor was rejected by a maid."

Xiao Liang gritted his teeth. He was very close to Qiao Yege at this time and could even smell the faint fragrance on Qiao Yege's body.

In his eyes, Qiao Yuge's eyes were full of tears, just like a flower with dew in the early morning, fresh and beautiful.

She is beautiful and gentle, unique in the harem. She is also the only person Xiao Liang has seen after traveling to so many places, who has won his heart at first sight.

When he heard Qiao Yuge's words, his heart seemed to be pulled up, and finally he could only say: "Of course, I won't say these words, but I will be sad at the same time. I didn't expect that you actually have feelings for the emperor."

Qiao Yege paused and said nothing more.

Xiao Liang wanted to comfort Qiao Yege, but couldn't help asking, "Since you don't plan to be with the emperor, have you ever thought about what you would do... What if I say I am willing to take care of you for the rest of your life?"

After Xiao Liang said this, he lowered his head, as if he had tried hard to muster up his courage.

Qiao Yuge raised her eyes, first looked at Xiao Liang calmly, then shook her head and said to Xiao Liang: "Your Highness, I am just a maid. As a maid, how can I let you clean up this mess? You are of noble birth. You are a decent person with a bright future. Why do you have to accept me like this?"

Qiao Yege understood every word, but Xiao Liang already knew the result.

Qiao Yuge also rejected him at the same time.

Xiao Liang lowered his eyebrows and said to Qiao Yege: "If you have trouble living in the harem and feel that you can't make it, come to me at any time. I will protect you."

Then Xiao Liang turned around and left.

Although Qiao Yuge was sad, she also felt a little amused at the same time. How could she have dared to reject two men in a row in one day?

She crossed the small bridge and went to Taixing Palace.

Behind the tree here, the emperor stood with his hands behind his back.

Feng Ming stood behind him and naturally saw the conversation between Qiao Yege and Xiao Liang.

He is just a killer, so naturally he doesn't know the twists and turns and the complicated feelings in love.

However, when he saw Qiao Yege squatting on the ground crying, his heart as an assassin was lifted up, and even his breathing became heavier.

He said to the emperor: "Miss Qiao seems to be really sad. Your Highness, can you just watch Miss Qiao like this?"

He didn't understand. Judging from Qiao Yege's expression, she should like the emperor, and the emperor also liked Qiao Yege.

Well, if that's the case, then let's be together.

Human life is short, especially for killers like them, who might die at any time. They are always simple and frank in dealing with feelings, and they forgive others and themselves in order to forgive them.

However, most killers would spend their time and money looking for short-term happiness without having any worries in their lives.
