"Xie Huaixing?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of the emperor's lips, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
There was a nameless jealousy surging in his heart. This was the first time the emperor was jealous of someone.
He has been of noble status since childhood, so how could he envy others?
When Xu Lingyi heard his mocking voice, she couldn't help but raise her head slightly.
Then she saw that the emperor's face was gloomy and dark and fierce emotions were surging in his eyes.
Xu Lingyi met his deep eyes and stood there in a daze.
She looked up unexpectedly, and the emperor quickly stretched out his big hand and covered her eyes.
"Your Majesty?" Xu Lingyi seemed a little scared, and her voice trembled slightly.
"You..." The emperor wanted to say something, but was afraid of scaring her again.
"Don't be afraid of me, I'm not targeting you." The emperor explained.
But the effect was not good. Xu Lingyi hung her head like a quail and no longer dared to look at him.
The emperor sighed and reached out to stroke her soft and smooth black hair.
"What do you like about Xie Huaixing?" He couldn't help but ask, "How is he better than me? How am I inferior to him?"
"Actually...I don't know either." Xu Lingyi said in a low voice.
This made the emperor more uncomfortable than if she had told him the reason directly.
"You don't know why, but you like him. Then why don't you like me? You risked your life to save me before."
The emperor held her hand tightly.
He frowned, waiting for Xu Lingyi to speak.
But Xu Lingyi just lowered her head and said nothing.
She didn't seem to know why herself.
There was silence between the two of them.
The emperor took a deep breath, but still couldn't help it.
"Look into my eyes."
The emperor reached out and lifted Xu Lingyi's face, forcing the two to look into each other's eyes.
"You have to tell me what you like about him, then I can change. I can do better than him. What he can do for you, I can do too."
The emperor stubbornly wanted her answer.
Because she didn't say anything now, he just felt like a headless fly?
"Your Majesty..." Xu Lingyi's eyes were filled with tears. "I really didn't know how much you hurt me when you grabbed me. I was already in pain."
Her voice was choked and tears welled up in her eyes.
The emperor finally came out of his previous anger. Thinking about it, she had given her body to him last night. How could he force her to give him an answer today?
The emperor could only comfort himself that no matter how much she liked Xie Huaixing, she was already his.
He quickly bowed his head and apologized: "I just lost my mind. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Yi'er, you should have a good sleep. I will watch over you."
After the emperor finished speaking, he covered her with a quilt.
Fortunately, the owner of the house left behind quite a few things, and there were two quilts in the house, which was barely enough for them.
"No." Xu Lingyi shook her head gently, her hair a little disheveled, and pursed her lips tightly: "Your Majesty, go and rest too."
How could the emperor sleep soundly when he thought about Xu Lingyi not liking him?
He couldn't sleep or eat, and stubbornly wanted an answer.
After Xu Lingyi fell asleep, the emperor was still immersed in the tangled emotions of jealousy and could not extricate himself.
That night, Xu Lingyi slept soundly, but the emperor was awake all the time.
He kept waiting for dawn, waiting for Xu Lingyi to wake up.
The next day, when Xu Lingyi opened her eyes, she saw the enlarged face of the emperor beside her pillow.
He was staring at her straight, with no disguising the affection in his eyes.
His fingers also pressed on her cherry lips, rubbing them repeatedly.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi was a little frightened.
When I woke up, I was met with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Did you not sleep last night?"
Otherwise, why would the eyes look like rabbit eyes?
"Yeah." Seeing Xu Lingyi wake up, the emperor withdrew his hand regretfully.
"Why don't you sleep?" Xu Lingyi looked at him with bright and clear eyes.
Of course she knew why. She did it on purpose yesterday because she knew the emperor would definitely be troubled.
The emperor avoided the subject, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Wha…what?"
Xu Lingyi didn't react to what he was asking at first, but after he asked, she realized it and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"Are you still in pain?"
Xu Lingyi's ears turned red, and she quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty, please don't ask any more questions."
"That's good. Tell me if you feel any pain. Don't get out of bed today. Rest well. I'll bring you food."
This time, the emperor still insisted on feeding her, and Xu Lingyi could only reluctantly accept it.
"Why do you like Xie Huaixing?" The emperor asked this question again.
But he put his hand over Xu Lingyi's mouth and said, "Don't say anything yet. Listen to me."
He thought a lot last night and imagined today's scene countless times in his mind.
He was afraid that he would still hear those words from last night.
"Yier, in terms of appearance, I think I am no worse than Xie Huaixing. I am even more majestic than him. In terms of family background, I am the Son of Heaven, while Xie Huaixing is just an ordinary relative. In terms of character, I don't think I am as fickle as him. I think the only thing I lose to him is age. He is indeed much younger than me, but I..."
The emperor was silent. Although it was a little difficult to speak, he still spoke.
"In my entire life, besides my mother, I've only come into contact with you, and you're the only woman I've touched. Didn't you say Xie Huaixing was secretly having an affair with your sister? Could he be more chaste than I am?"
Xu Lingyi: “…”
She knew that he had been holding back on these words for a long time, otherwise, as an emperor, he would not have lost his composure like this.
