"His Majesty."
Of course Xu Lingyi would give a response, after all, their statuses were not equal.
Xu Lingyi's eyes were red and she was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
She simply hugged the emperor back tightly, leaning against his chest.
"Your Majesty, please don't be so nice to me." Her voice was soft but very pleasant.
"Why do you say that?" The emperor picked her up and walked into the inner room.
Xu Lingyi took the opportunity to put her arms around the emperor's neck and said, "I am afraid that if one day Your Majesty doesn't like me anymore, I will be miserable. I like Your Majesty so much and I want you to always be so good to me. I want more, Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled at her and bent down to kiss her fair and beautiful cheek. "You are indeed a little girl. How could I not like you? Didn't you feel it last night?"
Xu Lingyi's face turned red again in an instant, and she covered the emperor's mouth.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that."
The emperor smiled and kissed the palm of her hand.
"My beloved concubine looks nothing like your father. I always thought that the daughters of military commanders would not be good-looking, but my beloved concubine is so beautiful."
Xu Lingyi nodded and raised her pointed chin. The emperor inexplicably thought of the snow-white kitten in the imperial garden.
"Maybe I take after my mother. But people always say I'm much prettier than my mother. When my grandmother was alive, she said I only have the slightest thing about my father and mother. My father has big eyes, and mine are big too."
In Xu Lingyi's heart, her father is the best. She would be the first to disagree with the idea that a general's daughter is not good-looking.
"Are you scared today?" the emperor asked her softly.
Xu Lingyi actually didn't, she just thought it was lively. If she was scared by such a small thing, then why was she still staying in the palace?
What's more, if anyone dares to attack her, she will definitely fight back.
Xu Lingyi nodded.
Xu Lingyi wondered if the emperor was suspicious of the imperial concubine.
Xu Lingyi pondered for a moment. "I still find this a little frightening. Your Majesty, are the doctors at the Imperial Hospital so easily bribed? The Imperial Hospital should be a very important place. Now someone has been bribed to harm Concubine Wang. What if they attack the Queen Mother and Your Majesty in the future? What will we do then?"
Xu Lingyi held the emperor's hand, her tone worried.
The emperor looked at her and said, "The person behind this is indeed very brave, but don't worry, it won't happen again."
Xu Lingyi nodded. "That's good, but Your Majesty, what if the imperial physician refuses to reveal the person behind this? Will there be any hidden dangers?"
The emperor shook his head: "No, I know who did it."
Xu Lingyi pretended to be surprised, but in fact she was a little surprised.
The emperor thought she was a little cute at the moment and scratched her nose. "It's the Imperial Concubine, but don't tell anyone. This is just my guess, but it's almost certain. The only high-ranking concubines in the palace are her, Concubine Li, and Concubine Xu. But the Imperial Concubine is in charge of palace affairs, so it's much easier for her to do something, not to mention..."
Xu Lingyi was listening attentively. It seemed that the emperor knew a lot about the affairs of the harem. If she wanted to take action against others in the future, it might be easier than to complain directly.
Seeing her curiosity, the emperor couldn't help but laugh. "Besides, the imperial concubine has also attacked many concubines in the past. I know it in my heart, but the imperial concubine gave birth to my only princess. Punishing her is equivalent to punishing my princess. In the past, for the princess's sake, I didn't want to make her sad, so I didn't point it out. But this time, she's been too far-fetched."
It seems that in the heart of this damn emperor, the lives of so many people in the harem are not as important as a single hair of his daughter.
In order not to make his daughter feel bad, he turned a blind eye to the imperial concubine's murder.
So the emperor was actually the indirect murderer of those concubines.
Xu Lingyi couldn't help feeling frightened, and she also felt the emperor's cold-bloodedness from the side.
Although the emperor was very gentle and kind to her.
But those concubines who left no impression on the emperor and were not favored by him were like grass.
Xu Lingyi snuggled in the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty, I am a little scared."
The emperor patted her back gently and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, my beloved concubine. The imperial concubine won't dare to attack again, let alone you. You are my beloved concubine, and I will never let such a thing happen."
Xu Lingyi pretended to be touched: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I believe in you."
She didn't believe him at all. He just liked her now, but what about in the future?
Although Xu Lingyi believed that she would not fall out of favor, and she would give birth to a child, given the emperor's regard for Princess Minghua, if she gave birth to a child, even if she committed a serious crime, the emperor would probably not care for the sake of the child.
This should be good news for her. Since the emperor is tolerant towards the imperial concubine now, he will be tolerant towards her in the future.
But Xu Lingyi was still chilled by the emperor's cold-bloodedness.
Those concubines were once his bedmates, but just because they didn't give birth to children, they were forgotten by him. In his eyes, their lives were even not worth mentioning.
They died unjustly in the harem, with no one caring about them and no one seeking justice for them.
"Those people are different from my beloved concubine. Not only did they sacrifice their lives to save me, but they are also very much my favorite. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, so I won't let anyone harm you. My beloved concubine, there is no need to be afraid. If anyone in this palace dares to attack you, please tell me directly and I will take care of it for you."
Xu Lingyi rolled her eyes. Perhaps some people would be moved and surprised by the emperor's words. Who doesn't like to be unique and special?
After all, the emperor is so heartless to others, but he cares about you.
