"Your Majesty, my wife's dog is not dead, but seriously injured. The doctor said that with proper care, its life is not in danger."
The emperor was surprised that the dog was not dead!
I was clearly dead at that time.
It seems that this dog may be the real Lai Fu now.
When the emperor first came back, he was confused and wanted to tell Xu Lingyi immediately that he was Lai Fu's dog.
But he also knew how ridiculous this was and she might not believe it.
She is so timid and weak that telling her might scare her.
After calming down, he realized that he still had to save face.
After all, he is the king of a country.
In addition, he is also quite narcissistic and arrogant.
The emperor inexplicably believed that even if Xu Lingyi didn't know about the wonderful fate between them, she would still be impressed by his charm and fall in love with him.
"Oh, that's all right."
The emperor was disappointed. He found that even though he saw her now, she still didn't speak to him.
Because Shen Qinghuai was here, it was Shen Qinghuai who answered him.
The emperor could only leave reluctantly.
But he did not return to the palace.
The carriage was still parked not far from the Shen Mansion.
He planned to climb over the wall and go into the Shen Mansion to see her later.
"How do I compare with Shen Qinghuai?" The emperor sat in the carriage. He picked up the teacup and looked at the color of the tea in the cup.
When Wang Taiwen heard such a question, his heart skipped a beat. The people serving His Majesty were all shrewd people. His Majesty just asked casually, but they had to think a lot in their minds and were afraid of offending His Majesty.
Eunuch Wang carefully considered his words, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country, and Shen Qinghuai is just a minister. How can he compare to Your Majesty? The difference in status is huge, Your Majesty."
The emperor couldn't help but smile softly, his eyes twinkling slightly: "Yes, I am the emperor. If she is with me, I can give her anything she wants, even the throne of empress. But what can Shen Qinghuai give her?"
Wang Bao was stunned. It took him a few seconds to realize what His Majesty meant.
After he understood it clearly, Wang Bao's heart was filled with shock.
Is His Majesty interested in Shen Qinghuai's wife? He admitted that Madam Shen was indeed a stunning beauty.
He had lived for so many years and had never seen such a beautiful woman, and no one in His Majesty's harem could match her.
But Your Majesty has always been a wise ruler. No matter how beautiful Madam Shen is, she is still the wife of a minister! !
"How does my appearance compare to his?" the emperor asked again.
How could Wang Bao not see the expectation in the emperor's eyes? He had never seen His Majesty like this in all these years.
Is this the old house on fire? Love and affection, how can a rootless person like him understand it?
"I want to hear the truth!" the emperor said, "Tell me the truth."
Wang Bao already knew that the emperor liked Madam Shen, so he naturally understood what the emperor wanted to hear.
He spoke quickly, "Your Majesty, you are one year younger than Shen Qinghuai, but you look four or five years younger than him. In addition, Your Majesty has been practicing martial arts for many years, and you have a sturdy figure and a dignified appearance. You look even taller and more upright than Shen Qinghuai, a military commander. Shen Qinghuai is far inferior to Your Majesty's grace and demeanor. You really don't need to compare yourself with him."
Wang Bao felt from the bottom of his heart that the emperor was lowering his status by comparing himself with Shen Qinghuai.
This Madam Shen is truly a beauty who brings disaster. Has Your Majesty become so obsessed with her after only meeting her once?
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, but he was still unsure and confirmed again: "If you were a woman, would you choose me or Shen Qinghuai?"
"I am not a woman... I cannot choose this, but in my opinion, if Madam Shen knew that His Majesty was in love with her and that wealth and glory were before her, she would definitely choose His Majesty."
The emperor was originally quite happy, but when he heard this, the corners of his mouth that were raised up suddenly drooped.
"She's not the kind of woman who values these things."
Wang Bao quickly apologized, "I said the wrong thing."
He now realized that Madam Shen was extremely good in His Majesty's heart, completely different from other women.
Has Madam Shen poisoned His Majesty?
"I just wanted to say a few words to her today, but Shen Qinghuai, that warrior, kept interrupting me." The emperor felt resentful, "I didn't even say a word to her."
Now he can only climb the wall.
"Have you found your secret guard?"
Wang Bao nodded: "An Yi and An Er are the best among the female secret guards."
"Find an opportunity to place him next to Madam Shen." The emperor said, but he was worried that if Xu Lingyi knew about it in the future, would she have any doubts?
But there was no other way. He couldn't feel at ease leaving her alone outside the palace.
The emperor had practiced martial arts and was surrounded by guards and other helpers, so he easily climbed over to Xu Lingyi's yard.
The layout here is still the same as before.
The emperor also met Lai Fu.
Thinking back to a few days ago, he was on this dog.
The emperor felt a little uncomfortable, but as long as he kept quiet, who would know? This way, he could still save face.
The emperor saw Xu Lingyi holding Lai Fu, the dog, and her hands were extremely gentle as she fed the dog carefully.
You have to feed and coax the dog at the same time.
"Fubao, eat your meal obediently. The pain will go away right after you eat, okay? Fubao, eat a little."
The emperor was extremely jealous. He thought, "Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade, and this dog just benefited from his kindness."
Xu Lingyi was so gentle, but the dog was extremely ignorant and turned its head away.
The more the emperor looked at it, the more sad he felt.
Lai Fu refused to eat, and Xu Lingyi's tears flowed in her eyes, shining like clear springs.
She spoke to the maid with heartache: "Laifu must be in great pain. He used to eat a lot, but now he won't eat a single bite. It's all my fault that Laifu has suffered such a severe pain."
