Chapter 53: Fierce Battle



The emperor said mysteriously, "I have already made it clear that Lady Ji's martial arts still need to be honed and she needs more practice."

The emperor, who cheated by relying on his inner voice, did not look at all nervous, as if everything was under his control.

Wu Qing was panting, but he stood by the bed as if nothing had happened.

Who asked that every move Wu Qing made was known to the emperor?

The emperor said: "As the Son of Heaven, I have the ability to see through everything. Lady Ji, even if you put a sword on my neck today, I will be safe and sound."

The emperor threw his sleeves in a domineering manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor flicked his sleeves domineeringly, showing his kingly demeanor.

"Mr. Ji, come on, if you can touch the edge of my clothes, I will lose."

Wu Qing was silent: "..."

[Ahhhhhh! I’m so pissed off! ]

[I was originally planning to promote the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of respecting the elderly and loving the young. Excuse me, Your Majesty, but now you have pissed me off. I am going to teach you a lesson!]

"Your Majesty's words are golden, please don't lie to me."

Wu Qing narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous expression.

"Since Your Majesty is so confident, then I will come to learn from Your Majesty's abilities!"

[Ha! Feudal remnant, do you dare to take my sword?]

Wu Qing swung his sword again, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the emperor's vitals.

With a clang sound.

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, and the dagger in his sleeve was instantly unsheathed, colliding with Wu Qing's silver sword.

Wu Qing's eyes flashed with excitement, and she said with fighting spirit: "Okay! Come again!"

The lights in the side hall of Linhua Palace were on all night.

The halo of light shone through the window and onto the heads of the two eunuchs squatting outside the window.

Because of the fact that Concubine Ru was a spy from Western Xia, the emperor carried out a large-scale purge of people around him.

The eunuchs behind the chief eunuch were also replaced.

The young eunuchs were all new faces, young and immature, with clean backgrounds.

Driven by curiosity, the young eunuch secretly stuck his head out and looked into the side hall.

"This is the third time the Emperor has asked for water tonight. Eunuch, is this really okay?" the young eunuch asked worriedly.

The eunuch standing next to him suddenly looked gloomy when he heard this.

He raised his hand and slapped the eunuch hard on the head, lowering his voice and cursing, "How dare you! Do you think you can interfere in the emperor's affairs? Watch out for your head!"

The young eunuch covered his head, grimaced in pain, and dared only shout in a low voice.

"But this is too outrageous! She asked for water three times in one night, and the imperial concubine never did."

"Eunuch, if this gets out, it will damage the emperor's reputation! Didn't the imperial physician specifically tell the emperor to be more restrained? What if people say that he is addicted to beauty, what will happen?"

When the eunuch heard this, he slapped him on the head again.

"That's because Lady Ji is blessed! What do you know?"

The two were pulling each other, when suddenly, a deafening sound was heard in the room again.

It sounded as if the bed had collapsed under the weight.

The head eunuch and the younger eunuch looked at each other in confusion.

This... this shouldn’t be the case, right?

Just then, a burst of crisp laughter broke the eerie silence.

It is almost three o'clock in the morning, and Ji Guiren is still full of energy.

"Your Majesty, are you dying?"

Wu Qing was panting, with beads of sweat still on her face, making her look particularly beautiful and charming.

The eunuchs' ears immediately pricked up.

Lady Ji seemed to have walked to the window.

From their perspective, Concubine Ji was only wearing an inner garment.

The eunuchs squatted down immediately, thinking in their hearts, "Don't look at what is inappropriate."

The emperor in the room laughed out loud and said, "Noble Lady Ji, you look even more tired than I am."

Wu Qing refused to admit defeat, "Your Majesty is wrong. I am very energetic. But Your Majesty, at your age, I am afraid you are no longer able to do it, right?"

The emperor said, "Isn't it clear to Lady Ji whether I can do it or not?"

The conversation between the two people happened to be overheard clearly by the two eunuchs outside the door.

The young eunuch was stunned and couldn't help but pull the sleeve of the head eunuch: "Master, listen, this noble lady Ji is really amazing."

The chief eunuch muttered to himself: "This noble lady Ji is really a demon, she is able to seduce the emperor like this."

The chief eunuch has been serving the emperor for ten years, and he has never seen the emperor act so recklessly.

Just as he was thinking about it, the emperor's loud shout was heard from the bedroom again.

"Pass the water!"

The voice echoed in the silent night, and the eunuch's heart trembled.

This is the fourth time water has been delivered tonight!

If this goes on, will the emperor be able to hold court tomorrow?

The young eunuch standing by looked hesitant and seemed a little at a loss.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch frowned and kicked him, "What are you still standing there for? Go! Do you still want the emperor to wait for you?"

After the young eunuch left, the senior eunuch began to feel weak and slid down to the ground with the help of the wall.

You are so brave tonight, can your body hold up?

The emperor stayed overnight in Concubine Ji's palace and called for water four times in one night, almost missing the court meeting.

This news was like a whirlwind, quickly causing waves in the harem.

They just didn't understand why the imperial concubine would be willing to share her favor with such an unknown guy?

After lunch, the emperor went to visit the queen's palace as usual.

Ever since the miraculous medicine from Western Xia was delivered, the queen's condition has gradually improved, and has visibly improved.

She could now sit up on the bed and talk to the emperor at a normal speed for a quarter of an hour.

However, today, the queen's expression was very strange.

The emperor put down the memorial, looked directly at her and said, "The queen has something to say, why don't you just speak to me?"

The queen hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Your Majesty, did you really favor Concubine Ji last night?"

It turned out that the queen also knew about this.

The emperor laughed.

He shook his head and said, "Doesn't the Queen understand me? Lady Ji is not my type, so how could I favor her so easily?"

"I went there last night just to see her in person."

The emperor is very good at lying.

If he didn't say it, who would know that he really had the intention of favoring Wu Qing?

...Although that thought was quickly shattered.

Hearing this, the Queen did not show a look of relief. She hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the maids in the bedroom reported this morning that Concubine Ji had her period last night."

The emperor was confused.

The emperor pondered.

The emperor understood.

The emperor said slowly: "...That is my blood."

The Queen was stunned: "Your Majesty, you just said...?"

The emperor had no choice but to repeat, "It's my blood. The queen is worrying too much. I definitely did not favor Concubine Wu."

When the emperor thought about where the blood came from, his face twitched and he wanted to skip this topic.

In the end, he couldn't escape Wu Qing's needle!
