Chapter 12 Slapped the Emperor

The confrontation between the two people, each with their own thoughts, was like a glance at each other in Wang Defa's eyes.

Hey!

Normally, the emperor devoted himself to state affairs and seldom set foot in the harem. This was the first time he took the initiative to get close to the empress in front of outsiders.

Seeing Xue Youli holding Murong Che's arm intimately at this time, Wang Defa followed behind them happily.

Maybe it won't be long before the little princess will have a younger brother or sister in the harem.

Then, a group of palace maids and eunuchs followed them in a mighty procession towards the Zicheng Palace.

After they walked away, a slender figure walked out from the shadow of the rockery by the lake.

Xue Qingyao stared at the direction they left, retracted his hands from his sleeves, and dug his nails into his flesh.

In her previous life, she was the only one who could snatch favors from others, and no one had ever been able to snatch her favor away from her. Xue Youli really impressed her time and time again.

Wait! Is she seeing things?

Murong Che actually let Xue Youli hold his arm?

She remembered that in her previous life, Murong Che hated women touching him.

What kind of seductive tricks did Xue Youli use to make Murong Che make an exception in such a short time?

However, she will not give up.

Xue Youli's position is not high, so what if he is the first favored one?

Not everyone is entitled to the emperor's favor!

There is a long way to go, let’s wait and see who will win!

On the way to Zicheng Palace, Xue Youli looked up information about Murong Che through the Book of Heavenly Secrets.

It turns out that Murong Che was allergic to women because he was playful as a child and accidentally caught the late emperor playing adult games with six concubines. That scene left an indelible trauma on his young mind.

After that, he would feel physically nauseous whenever a woman came near him.

From a medical point of view, this is a mental illness.

Judging from the fact that he is not averse to exposure, his disease should not be difficult to cure.

Otherwise, seduce him to test the extent of his illness?

Murong Che sat behind the desk, looking at Xue Youli with her brows furrowed and thoughtful expression, and guessed that she must be up to something evil again.

However, he couldn't touch her body for no reason. What excuse could he find to listen to her heart openly?

He was still distracted. Xue Youli stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the man's eyes. "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about? Do you want me to grind ink for you? Before I entered the palace, I often ground ink for my father. My father often praised me for the ink I ground, which was thick and light, with a rich and rich ink flavor."

Murong Che glanced to the side and immediately met Xue Youli's beautiful face.

She placed her hands on the edge of the table, bent her waist, and moved in front of the man. Her almond-shaped eyes were curved like a crescent moon, like a clear spring carrying the sunlight, looking forward to the brilliance of life.

Murong Che's eyes slid across her full forehead, her perky nose, her rosy lips, and all the way down. When he accidentally caught a glimpse of her delicate and beautiful collarbone under her collar, his Adam's apple rolled and his eyes darkened for a moment.

Even though he knew she was teasing him on purpose, his calm and peaceful heart was still filled with ripples as if a stone had been thrown into it.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and an indescribable ambiguity spread between the two people.

Xue Youli originally wanted to take the initiative to attack, but when she met Murong Che's eyes that were as deep as a whirlpool, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable impulse in her heart.

Kiss it!

She was exhausted from studying medicine in her previous life, and now she is almost 30 years old and has never even touched a man's hand.

She deserves to eat better in her life.

However, before she could move, her chin was lifted up by a big hand.

The handsome face of the approaching man was reflected in Xue Youli's pupils, and her brain went blank for a moment.

She realized that this man had the same idea as her, and couldn't help swallowing, "Your Majesty..."

Murong Che did not respond. As if he had made up his mind, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

It seemed like the two of them were about to kiss!

Bang!

A crisp slap was heard, and the man's handsome face was knocked to one side.

After the applause, the hall fell into dead silence.

Murong Che was stunned for a moment.

As a handsome emperor, he had seen too many women who wanted to throw themselves into his arms. He thought that his initiative towards this woman who coveted his body and the position of empress dowager would make her ecstatic.

But who could have imagined that before he could kiss Xue Youli, he was slapped in the face.

An emperor who held the power of life and death was slapped by a mere sixth-rank beauty.

Xue Youli was also stunned. She looked at her own hands, then raised her head to look at Murong Che's handsome face which was red from being beaten. She was even more confused than the man himself.

What's going on?

She clearly wanted to kiss Murong Che, so why did her hands hit him uncontrollably?

She was wondering when the Book of Secrets suddenly came online: [Host, you are still ten days away from your coming of age. This book has activated the adolescent mode.]

[Are you kidding me? I put so much thought into following you to Zicheng Palace, hoping to get ahead of Xue Qingyao and develop a relationship with him, but you, a jerk, got me into this mess. How am I going to end up like this...]

At this moment, a large hand with distinct joints grabbed Xue Youli's neck, interrupting her communication with the Book of Heaven.

Xue Youli was forced to take a few steps back, and her body hit the cold and hard wall. A feeling of suffocation came from her throat, and breathing became extremely difficult.

"Xue Youli, are you looking for death?"

Murong Che's face was cold and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

This woman is so bold that she actually hit him!

To harm the emperor's dragon body is a capital crime!

"emperor……"

Xue Youli opened and closed her lips with great effort, trying to defend herself, "If I say... I didn't mean it... would you believe me?"

Murong Che touched his burning right cheek with the tip of his tongue and sneered, the murderous intent in his eyes not diminishing at all, "I don't believe it!"

[It's over! I'm dead! It's all because of the damn Heavenly Secret Book! But how can I explain to Murong Che that I'm protected by an invisible book because I'm not even fifteen years old yet? If a man does something inappropriate to her, the Heavenly Secret Book will strike hard in unexpected ways.]

[Even if I tell the truth, Murong Che may not believe it, right? He might even think I'm a monster and kill me directly!]

Although Murong Che did not understand some of the words in her thoughts, with his intelligence, he was able to piece together the general meaning.

What this woman means is that she is protected by a mysterious and weird book and cannot have intimate behavior with men before the age of fifteen?

Xue Youli could feel the hand strangling her neck loosening some of its strength. She tried to squeeze out two tears, acted pitiful, and gained sympathy. "Your Majesty... I really didn't mean it just now... Please believe me... If you are angry... why not hit me a few more times to vent your anger..."

Having said that, she closed her eyes as if she was ready to die.

Her eyelashes trembled a few times and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

This was not acting, she was really scared to tears by the man's changed expression.

[Wuwuwu...Murong Che is the king of a country. I hope he won't bother with a little girl like me and spare my life! ]

[Oh my God, if Murong Che can forgive my unintentional mistake, I will give him a new lease of life even if I have to read useless medical books!]
