"Empress, Empress!" Ah Fu outside the door said abruptly and anxiously: "Wait for me to go in and report!"
"I want to see His Majesty...I want to see His Majesty!" A woman's aggrieved and hoarse voice came from outside the door.
My arms were still wrapped around Song Heng's neck, and Song Heng was taking the initiative, preparing to attack the pond and seize the land.
I just felt the hand around my waist tighten, and Song Heng finally let go. He gently held my arm and placed it on my side, and slowly helped me tidy up the messy clothes on my chest.
"Let her in." Amid the rising and falling sobbing voices outside, Song Heng finally said in a deep voice.
The door was pushed open with a "bang". I looked at the woman in red who fell to her knees on the ground in a few seconds and felt that she looked familiar.
My head was dizzy just now. What did Ah Fu call "Niangniang"... ?
The air pressure around was very low. I saw the person in front of me had tears all over his face when he raised his eyes. His eyes were red from crying. My heart tightened when I saw it.
"Your Majesty..." Empress Hua lowered her head unconsciously after meeting Song Heng's gaze, her crying voice becoming more obvious. "I didn't mean to disturb you, but I just received a letter from home saying that my father had fainted at home, and I was really worried!"
I vaguely remembered that the person in front of me was the seldom-seen Queen, and my heart suddenly sank when I heard her say "Daddy is ill".
Song Heng turned around and glanced at me. When I was wondering why he was looking at me suddenly, he had already turned his head away: "You want to leave the palace?"
"Yes!" Empress Hua murmured, "I will leave the palace with the imperial physician and will be sure to leave in time—!"
"Okay. Go down." Song Heng approved the queen before she finished speaking and no longer looked down at her.
The Queen thanked His Majesty several times before leaving in a hurry. I looked at her hurriedly fleeing back, and for some reason, my heart seemed to be filled with worry and tension.
"Shuang'er." Song Heng turned around and gently held my shoulders.
I came back to my senses: "Your Majesty."
He looked at me as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. I called out again, "Your Majesty?"
"Yeah, I'm here." He responded: "Are you feeling unwell?"
I was a little confused and looked at him questioningly: "I'm fine."
"It's Empress Hua's father," I hesitated for a moment, "I hope nothing will happen."
Song Heng looked at me for a long time, as if to confirm that I was indeed okay, and then said firmly: "No."
"He just doesn't want to attend the dinner tonight." Song Heng was calm and pulled me to sit aside.
I noticed his action and I knew he still chose to restrain himself.
What kind of impression did I leave on Song Heng in the past?
I felt mixed emotions inside, but I continued to follow his topic: "Huh?"
"Empress Hua's father is Prime Minister Hua." Song Heng poured me a cup of tea.
I naturally reached out to take it and pondered for a moment: "One of the high-ranking officials?"
He nodded, seemingly helpless: "It's still the highest and most expensive."
I burst out laughing when I heard that: "Even the most powerful and noble can't stand having their blood replaced! Your Majesty!"
He scratched my nose with his hand and said, "You are really sharp-tongued."
"The blood transfusion is just the beginning," he said calmly, "we'll have to work on it step by step in the future."
I pondered, "After the blood transfusion, do we still need to peel off the skin, pull out the tendons, and break the bones?"
He was stunned for a moment: "Where did you learn this?"
"It just popped out of my head!" I poked my forehead. "Impressive, isn't it?"
He smiled helplessly, "Amazing! I should have expected this when I heard the words 'just a beating will do'."
I almost spit out the water: "Your Majesty, this is a trap you set for me!"
"It's you who always praises the flowers in front of me, so I have no choice but to do this." Song Heng actually started arguing with me.
"How could I praise the beauty and fragrance of flowers in front of you! Where is the evidence?" I was not willing to be left behind, and I was unreasonable in quarrels. Whoever spoke louder and faster would naturally have the upper hand.
"Now there is evidence." Song Heng was very calm. He looked at me with his dark eyes: "Do you know how ferocious you look..."
"It's like a kitten showing its teeth."
"It makes you want to... scratch it."
I choked for a moment, picked up the teacup and drank some water to buy time to think. Then I gently put the teacup down, instantly changing my posture and adjusting my tone, like a "sick beauty" swaying in the wind, "So, Your Majesty, do you want me to be like this?"
Seeing him stunned for a moment, I suppressed my laughter: "This is not like a kitten. I am not here to bother Your Majesty..."
He coughed lightly: "Shuang'er."
"Hmm? Your Majesty, are you calling me?" I was so addicted to acting that I couldn't help myself. I even pretended to cover half of my face with my sleeves: "This makes me so embarrassed!"
"You want to hear the truth?" Song Heng simply ignored me and continued.
"Are you still telling lies?" I blurted out, then thought about how I was still playing the role of "sick beauty" and took a deep breath before saying, "Of course, I want to hear the truth from Your Majesty, but if Your Majesty doesn't want to, ahem, even if it's a lie, Shuang'er will still like to hear it."
“…”
Song Heng was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled lightly, which made me, who was full of confidence, suddenly feel a little weak in the feet. Fortunately, we were sitting next to each other.
He suddenly raised one hand and frivolously lifted my chin with his index finger. This was the first time I saw him do this, and I was stunned.
In this moment of daze, Song Heng's thumb began to rub my chin, and I felt a tingling sensation: "Shuang'er is so well-behaved and lovely, so of course I told Shuang'er everything."
"Hmm?" I couldn't be cowardly when acting, so I resisted the urge to move my head away and let him caress me. However, the itchy feeling made my hands hanging by my side unconsciously clench a little tighter.
