The emperor breathed deeply, cupping her face gently and placing his hands on her slender waist as his kiss grew more and more passionate.
Xu Lingyi frowned unconsciously, as if his movements were too loud and disturbed her. Xu Lingyi was about to wake up.
If he continued to kiss her, Xu Lingyi would definitely wake up.
Although the emperor was reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to get up.
In fact, he was already satisfied after seeing her today.
Once Shen Qinghuai leaves Beijing, he can start his plan.
"Go back to the palace." The emperor's voice was hoarse.
"By the way, have someone steal the brocade bag from Shen Qinghuai." The emperor spoke slowly, his expression indifferent and his voice cold.
"He's not worthy of wearing it yet. Besides, the journey must be difficult. Find more women for Shen Qinghuai. He also needs a confidante to accompany him."
Perhaps what attracts women most about Shen Qinghuai is his deep affection for his deceased wife and his chastity for many years.
He will let Xu Lingyi know that he is just a hypocritical person.
In addition, Shen Qinghuai is not the only one who can remain a chaste woman. He can do it from now on.
He was no worse than Shen Qinghuai, and he couldn't help but smile when he thought of these emperors.
Wang Bao: “…”
As the emperor's personal eunuch, he was a well-known figure in the outside world. This was the first time he had received a mission to steal something.
Wang Bao felt sad in his heart that even a wise ruler like His Majesty could be blinded by love.
Stealing is easy, but...
"Your Majesty, but Lord Shen has someone else in his heart. I am afraid that he will not be moved by those women."
Shen Qinghuai doesn't look like a man who values beauty. Besides, he already has such a stunning wife, so how could he possibly be interested in vulgar women out there?
The emperor's expression was indifferent. "I need to teach you this. Just find women to entangle with him. No matter if he likes those women or not, you must make them follow him. And no matter if he is chaste and unmoved, if the news spreads to the capital, I will destroy his reputation. Do you understand?"
Wang Bao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I will do it right away."
"How is the investigation into the Li family going?" the emperor asked again.
"The secret guards went there early in the morning, but the investigation will take a few days." The emperor nodded.
"In addition to the two secret guards beside Madam, we must find a way to insert them. There must also be one in the Shen Mansion. I want to know what's going on in the Shen Mansion."
"I obey your command."
Not long after the emperor returned to the palace, he wanted to leave again.
He wanted to see Xu Lingyi all the time. Whenever he had free time, his mind was filled with her face, her every frown and smile.
He could only handle government affairs to ease his longing for her.
There were too many affairs of state to deal with, so the emperor dealt with them until late at night. In another hour, he had to attend the morning court again.
"How is Madam after I left the Shen Mansion?" the emperor asked expectantly.
After hearing the news from Xu Lingyi, he planned to take a break and then get up early to attend the morning court.
"Your Majesty, since you left, Madam has been taking care of her dog. She has cried many times out of grief. Madam's dog is rather cunning and eccentric. It won't eat even when you feed it, and if it doesn't eat, Madam won't eat either."
The emperor was jealous and distressed. This dog really didn't know what was good for it. He would teach it a lesson in the future.
"As for Lord Shen, after you left, he went to Old Madam Shen's residence, and then went to find his two children... and had an argument with them."
The emperor's face was as gloomy as water. "It seems he is finally willing to take care of those evil people in his palace. But he is willing to do it now. Don't you think it is too late? It may even have the opposite effect. Once he leaves, his mother and children in the palace will tear the lady to pieces."
That's why the emperor felt that Shen Qinghuai didn't care about Xu Lingyi at all. If he really cared about her, with his intelligence, he would not have failed to think of these things. His love was too superficial.
Not like him.
"Then your majesty, if someone from the Shen Mansion attacks Madam, should we take preventive measures in advance?" asked the secret guard.
The emperor shook his head: "You just need to protect her from being hurt. What those people in the Shen Mansion want to do is not something you can stop. Even if you use all your means, you will not be able to dispel their malicious intentions."
"Also, I also want her to see whether the Shen Mansion is a place where she can stay for a long time. Even if she likes Shen Qinghuai, she won't care about her own life. Then..."
Then he can take action.
The emperor was confident.
Shen Qinghuai set off for Lingnan the next day. As soon as he left, the emperor became even more impatient.
During the day he worked overtime to handle all government affairs, and at night he sneaked into Xu Lingyi's yard.
When she fell asleep, he would lie down beside her and quietly watch her sleeping face.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
The opportunity the emperor had been waiting for soon came.
That evening, just as the emperor hid on the beam of Xu Lingyi's courtyard, he heard a noise from below.
"Madam, the old lady asks you to come over!!"
A group of people came from the opposite side. They were all strong old servants. They said please, but their actions were full of threats.
Xu Lingyi clutched her dress slightly, her eyes were red, and she seemed a little at a loss.
But he still pretended to be calm and asked, "Did something happen to mother?"
"Madam, you will know when you go there!" The old woman's tone was quite impolite, and there was disdain between her eyebrows.
Xu Lingyi clenched her palms slightly. Although she didn't know what was going on, she could predict that today's incident was directed at her.
Seeing her standing there, weak and helpless, the emperor felt heartbroken.
Although the two secret guards he selected were placed beside Xu Lingyi, they were now just two servants.
