Chapter 22 The Heartless and Heirless Cruel Emperor



When Pei Lin saw Jiang Zhili walk in, his dark eyes locked onto him.

Jiang Zhili had changed her clothes into a pure white dress, which looked extremely holy.

But outside the white dress, there was a layer of pink gauze.

Adding a touch of cuteness to the holiness.

Jiang Zhili had no makeup on her face, but her narrow eyes and lips, which were not painted red, looked as if they had been carefully outlined, delicate and seductive.

"Your Majesty, I greet you," Jiang Zhili walked up to Pei Lin and supported him.

The neckline of her white dress seemed a little low, revealing her collarbone, which appeared faintly visible under the light pink gauze.

In ancient times, it was conservative and if a woman exposed her collarbone, she was considered naked.

Pei Lin only needed to take one glance to see the girl's collarbone under the thin gauze. His throat suddenly became dry, and some inappropriate scenes came to his mind.

For a moment, he even forgot to ask Jiao Niang to stand up. His deep eyes followed Jiao Niang's slender collarbone, inspecting it inch by inch, and finally fell on her slender and white neck.

Jiang Zhili only felt a burning sensation on his neck and collarbone, as if a fire had been ignited.

She raised her head slightly and happened to meet Pei Lin's frighteningly dark eyes.

Jiang Zhili's heart couldn't help but tremble.

This look seemed to want to eat her, it was scary...

Jiang Zhili's words were a little aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I am hungry and exhausted."

Pei Lin listened to Jiao Niang's thin voice, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he barely withdrew his gaze from Jiao Niang.

Then he stretched out his hand and helped Jiao Niang up.

Jiang Zhili sat on the stool next to Pei Lin.

The two sat side by side, very close to each other.

Pei Lin's nose was filled with the fragrance of Jiang Zhili, but this familiar fragrance seemed to have a hint of strange aroma.

Jiang Zhili looked down at the man's thigh next to her, and with a slight movement, she pressed her leg against it.

Pei Lin only felt something fragrant and soft against the side of his leg. He lowered his head and his blood rushed up. Fortunately, his robe covered it.

Jiang Zhili glanced at the man's cold and hard profile and asked tenderly, "Your Majesty, may I pick up my chopsticks?"

After saying that, she moved the leg that was against the man.

"But," Pei Lin's voice was a little hoarse.

Jiang Zhili smiled lightly, then moved the leg that was pressed against Pei Lin towards himself, creating some distance between them.

She picked up the serving chopsticks and started picking up food for herself.

Pei Lin felt the softness against his leg disappear, and a sense of loss suddenly filled his heart.

Seeing Jiao Niang concentrating on picking up the food, he felt a little depressed.

"Deep down in Zhizhi's heart, all she wants is to eat."

He was thinking about her when he was dealing with state affairs, so why did he pick up the chopsticks so impatiently when she came?

I told him yesterday that I wished we could be together all the time, but now when I see him, all I want is to eat!

Jiang Zhili looked at the man beside her, she chuckled, picked up a meatball with the serving chopsticks and put it in the man's bowl.

As for men, they will only fall in love when their desires are unsatisfied.

Jiang Zhili said in a seductive tone: "Your Majesty, please finish your meal quickly so that I can accompany you properly."

After saying that, Jiang Zhili raised his charming eyes and winked at Pei Lin.

They both get what they need.

Pei Lin's expression softened. He thought that when Jiang Zhili said "accompany", he just meant "accompany".

After all, what woman would be so bold as to say such words?

He put the meatballs in the bowl into his mouth.

It was fresh, fragrant, smooth and much more delicious than what he usually ate!

Half an hour later.

When the two of them had almost finished eating, Jiang Zhili stretched out her white arm in front of Pei Lin, and a strange fragrance entered Pei Lin's nostrils.

Jiang Zhili's tone was a bit boastful: "Your Majesty, look at this bracelet. Isn't it beautiful? This was given to me by the Imperial Concubine this afternoon."

Pei Lin's expression suddenly turned a little cold.

After the imperial concubine returned from the Cining Palace, she beat a palace maid and smashed a tea bowl. It was obvious that she was angry with Zhizhi.

Why would you be so kind as to give Zhizhi a bracelet?

Pei Lin raised his big hand and held the girl's slender wrist.

He frowned and asked, "You said this bracelet was given to you by the imperial concubine this afternoon?"

Jiang Zhili nodded and shook her arm. The bright red bracelet reflected the light of the palace lantern, sparkling and beautiful.

Pei Lin pursed his thin lips and took off the bracelet on Jiang Zhili's wrist.

Jiang Zhili was very reluctant and kept saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this was given to me by the Imperial Concubine. You can't take it away. This is something from the Western Regions and is very rare..."

Pei Lin's dark eyes sank completely, and he brought the bracelet to his nose and sniffed it.

He asked, "Western Region?"

The thing from the Western Regions is extremely evil. It must be more than just a bracelet.

"Yes, this bracelet was found by the imperial concubine in the Western Regions. There is only one of it!" Jiang Zhili replied angrily.

With a "pop" sound.

Pei Lin threw the bracelet directly onto the table.

He pulled the delicate woman beside him into his arms and coaxed her in a low voice: "Zhizhi, dear, this bracelet has an unknown origin. I will find someone to make you an identical one. You won't have to wait long."

After so many years, the imperial concubine is still so arrogant.

A dark light flashed across Jiang Zhili's eyes.

She didn't expect that Pei Lin would take the initiative to help her deal with the bracelet. Originally, she just planned to wear the bracelet to make herself familiar to Pei Lin.

It would be easier for her to fight with the imperial concubine then. Now that Pei Lin is willing to help her, it is a good thing and saves her a lot of trouble.

Jiang Zhili buried his head in Pei Lin's arms and nodded.

"Then your majesty, please hurry up. Tomorrow I will go to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."

Pei Lin looked at the bright red bracelet on the table and said coldly, "Don't worry, Zhizhi."

He would send this bracelet to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and ask them to find someone to study it carefully to see if there was anything strange about it.

He would also find someone to make an identical bracelet based on this one.

After receiving Pei Lin's promise, Jiang Zhili began to make a fuss in his arms.

She whined and said in a tender voice that she wanted to get off, saying that Pei Lin's arms were too hot.

As Jiang Zhili was making a fuss, a book fell from her arms and hit the ground...

Jiang Zhili jumped out of Pei Lin's arms like a cat with its fur standing on end.

She said anxiously, "No, no, no! Don't move..."

Jiang Zhili's cheeks flushed red, and her charming eyes looked away, not daring to look at Pei Lin's face.

She bent down and wanted to pick up the book that had fallen on the ground, but the man picked it up first.

Pei Lin took the book in his hand. He did not lower his head to read the contents. Instead, he carefully looked at the extremely shy expression on Jiao Niang's face...

Jiang Zhili had a delicate face, like a blooming flower. There was a blush at the corners of her eyes, and her small white jade ears were also red. A layer of mist floated in her narrow eyes.

"Your Majesty, give me the book quickly!" In a panic, Jiang Zhili actually used the word 'I'.

Pei Lin raised his sharp eyebrows.
