The person on her body was like a wild beast, tearing off her clothes roughly.
"Ah." Xie Qingyao cried out in pain.
He Zheng grabbed the back of her head tightly and lowered his head to bite her neck.
So fierce?
Didn't she confess her plan to him?
She told us about the arrangements she had made in Fuzhou to ensure that she would not suffer any losses or encounter any accidents. It can be said that she was very safe.
He was still angry.
Xie Qingyao felt weak all over and suspected that He Zheng had bitten marks on her body.
"My plan was flawless...Aren't you happy?"
"But I'm happy... well."
"It can make their plans come to nothing, and all their efforts go to waste."
"Happy." He Zheng's voice was hoarse.
In an instant, they sealed their lips with a kiss.
He Zheng reached out and grabbed her slender waist, veins bulging on the back of his hand, like a lion entering its territory.
Hiss! He is really too fierce.
She was wrong.
She shouldn't have mentioned it to him at this time.
Xie Qingyao's breathing was disordered. She hooked her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs tightly around his waist.
…
The next day.
"Madam, what's wrong with your leg?" Zhitao asked with concern.
Xie Qingyao walked awkwardly, limping and seemed to be struggling.
Xie Qingyao gritted her teeth and said seriously, "I was punished to stand for half the night."
"Ah? How could that be?" Zhitao was surprised.
The other maids also looked strange.
The Madam was punished by the Marquis to stand? Half the night? Did they have a fight?
That shouldn't be the case. Even if we had a quarrel, we couldn't be punished by standing in the corner.
Xie Qingyao lifted her skirt and got on the carriage to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
Emperor Jinde summoned her early in the morning, otherwise it would be impossible for her to get up in the morning according to her personality.
In the pavilion.
Emperor Jinde sat upright, twisting a chess piece in his hand and slowly placing it on the white jade chessboard.
Eunuch Cao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the wife of the Marquis of Anguo has arrived."
Xie Qingyao wanted to bow, but heard Emperor Jinde say, "Alright, no need to bow. Come and play chess with me."
Oh well.
Xie Qingyao sat directly opposite Emperor Jinde.
Although He Zheng had taught her a few chess techniques, they were completely ineffective in the face of absolute strength.
Food, still food.
Fortunately, Xie Qingyao had a good temper and a good attitude. Even after losing several games in a row and being defeated miserably, she did not get crazy.
He just frowned, looking as if he was doubting his life.
In the eyes of Emperor Jinde, she was a complete foolish beauty.
"I don't want to play anymore." Xie Qingyao waved her hand.
"No matter how hard I try, I cannot defeat Your Majesty."
Emperor Jinde twirled the ring on his thumb. "Do you still want to win?"
Xie Qingyao thought without hesitation, "Of course, if you don't want to win at chess, then what's the point of playing?"
Eunuch Cao lowered his head, feeling frightened.
The wife of Marquis Anguo is really, really, too honest!
He spoke without beating around the bush and had no intention of trying to please His Majesty.
But then Xie Qingyao wondered, "But my chess skills are too poor. The Marquis has taught me a few moves, but I still can't beat Your Majesty."
Emperor Jinde couldn't help but laugh, "Don't even think about beating me. If you practice more, you can definitely beat other people. My chess skills are only second to Qi Yun's."
Xie Qingyao was stunned for a moment and said, "Did the Marquis defeat His Majesty?"
Emperor Jinde admitted it generously, and did not seem to think it was shameful for the emperor to lose the game of chess to his ministers.
Suddenly, Xie Qingyao smiled brightly, "Your Highness, I have won over you."
Emperor Jinde: "..."
Emperor Jinde said with some amusement: "That's because Qi Yun is giving in to you. He is very indulgent towards you."
At this point, for some reason, Emperor Jinde stopped smiling and asked, "Qi Yun told you, right? You are the Purple Star sent from heaven."
Xie Qingyao straightened up immediately and said seriously, "Yes."
She placed her hands on her knees, her fingertips gripping her skirt.
"I do not believe I have such great ability, but since the Supervisor has predicted so, I am willing to give it a try. I only hope to appease the people and bring stability to the country."
"I will go to Fuzhou and face this epidemic together with the people of Fuzhou."
After a brief pause, Emperor Jinde asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Xie Qingyao said bluntly: "Afraid."
"But isn't this escorted by the Marquis?"
"And your majesty will not let anything happen to your subject, right?"
There was trust in her eyes.
Emperor Jinde's expression was subtle for a moment, and he didn't respond for a while.
After a moment, he spoke, "Well, I allow you to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. If anything goes wrong, I will cover it for you."
Eunuch Cao was stunned.
I have been with Emperor Jinde for many years, but this is the first time I have seen His Majesty protect and indulge someone like this.
He looked at Xie Qingyao deeply and thought to himself that this person was truly extraordinary.
After receiving the verbal guarantee from Emperor Jinde, Xie Qingyao felt as if he had obtained a token of immunity from death, and immediately became very proud.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Emperor Jinde pondered and said, "Do you talk to Qi Yun like this in the mansion?"
She unknowingly led people into the pit she dug.
Xie Qingyao said in a relaxed tone: "Of course not, it was just the Marquis coaxing me."
"..." Listen to this cocky tone.
Emperor Jinde curled his lips and asked Eunuch Cao to escort Xie Qingyao out of the palace.
After a while, Eunuch Cao returned and whispered, "The wife of the Marquis of Anguo is kind and has a sincere heart."
Emperor Jinde stood up and said, "Yes."
"I was just thinking, how wonderful it would be if she were my daughter."
This huge palace would no longer be like stagnant water, dull, dark, and full of calculations.
