Xu Lingyi: “…”
The emperor stayed here until late at night, and he suddenly found that it was good that Xu Lingyi knew of his existence.
At least he can take advantage of it openly.
She was afraid of his power, but had to submit.
Looking at the crystal clear tears on her face, as well as her forbearance and fear.
He felt distressed and wanted her even more.
She didn't know how much her appearance could arouse men's desire.
Fortunately, he is not such a beastly man. He can bear it, but others definitely cannot.
"Yier, I'm leaving."
The emperor hugged her, who was crying, in his arms, reluctant to let her go. "I will attend the morning court soon. I will come to see you after I am done. Don't worry, Yi'er, I won't force you. Think carefully about what I said today. Do you want to enter the palace and be my wife, or stay in the dangerous Shen Mansion?"
The emperor didn't tell her that he planned to come after the morning court session, fearing that she would cry again.
She had cried so many times today that the emperor felt sorry for her eyes.
He believed that she would be able to figure it out sooner or later. After all, he was as far away from Shen Qinghuai as heaven and earth.
Even if she didn't figure it out, she had to enter the palace anyway.
She can only be his.
In fact, he could force her into the palace today, but he loved her, so he didn't want to push her so hard and was willing to deal with her slowly.
"By the way, Yi'er, the two new maids around you are actually my secret guards. Last time you were almost in danger in the Li Mansion, I found someone to secretly protect you. Don't be angry, Yi'er."
The emperor stroked her delicate and beautiful face. "Although they were arranged by me, they will be yours from now on and will only obey your orders. If Yi'er goes out, take them with you. This way, I don't have to worry about your safety."
After the emperor finished speaking, he had no choice but to leave. He had stayed here long enough. This farm was in the suburbs of Beijing, and it would take him some time to get back.
After the emperor left and she was sure that there was no one around, Xu Lingyi secretly raised the corners of her lips under the brocade quilt.
It all seemed to be going too smoothly.
It turned out that the emperor could fall in love with her so easily and fall deeply in love with her.
He was even willing to give her the title of queen.
Xu Lingyi certainly knew that a man’s sweet words should not be taken seriously.
So no matter how sincere the emperor's words were, she would never believe it unless he actually did it.
But if a man is not even willing to deceive you, then his love is even more shallow.
"Your Majesty, please don't let me down." Xu Lingyi sighed in her heart.
She didn't need his long-term love. Her experience in her previous life told her that men were very easy to change their hearts.
Beauty fades and love fades, it has been like this since ancient times.
She just needs to achieve her goal during the few years that he likes her.
Shen Qinghuai, the prince... She will not let go of anyone who has hurt her.
Moreover, after experiencing her previous life, she understood even more clearly that power is the best thing in the world.
With power, no one can bully or play with her at will.
When she becomes the superior, she will let those people also experience the feeling of being toyed with.

"Miss!" Yingchun was surprised when she saw Xu Lingyi. "Miss, why are your eyes so swollen? And...Miss, were you bitten by a mosquito last night? Why is it so serious?"
Yingchun saw that Xu Lingyi's lips were bright red and slightly swollen, and even her neck was red and swollen as if bitten by an insect.
Xu Lingyi pretended to be at a loss, and she spoke in a low voice with a little panic.
"Yes, there were indeed a lot of mosquitoes on the farm last night."
Although Yingchun felt something was wrong, she was young and simple-minded and didn't think about it in any other way.
Xu Lingyi felt guilty, so she changed the subject: "Yingchun, go get some water. I want to take a bath."
Even though the emperor didn't actually touch her last night, he still took advantage of her.
Xu Lingyi didn't care in her heart, but pretended to care on the surface.
"Yingxia, go and call in the two new maids." Xu Lingyi spoke softly.
After observing, Xu Lingyi found that the two secret guards looked no different from ordinary people except that their appearance was not so regular.
As soon as they came in, they called Xu Lingyi "Master".
"You..." Xu Lingyi was a little embarrassed. Her bright eyes moved slightly and her red lips parted. "Since you are His Majesty's people, you won't have to do the rough work of sweeping and dusting in the future."
Her voice is like the sound of nature, ethereal and ethereal, and every word of her voice is charming.
The two secret guards also understood why His Majesty liked her. They believed that if Madam Shen entered the palace, it would not be difficult for her to be the only favorite in the harem.
"Master, His Majesty has given us to you. From now on, we will be your people." The two secret guards quickly expressed their loyalty.
Xu Lingyi didn't believe it. She knew that they would never harm her. Instead, they would protect her at all costs.
But if the emperor asked her about the situation here, these two people would definitely tell him.
How could they be considered hers then?
But Xu Lingyi didn't care. These two people were indeed good helpers and could make her safer.
Xu Lingyi needs an opportunity to enter the palace.
She wanted her to enter the palace more than the emperor did.
Xu Lingyi was fully aware of the huge gap between being Shen Qinghuai's wife and being the emperor's favorite concubine.
And only after entering the palace will she feel more at ease using fake pregnancy powder.
No one in the emperor's harem had been pregnant for more than ten years. If she became pregnant outside the palace, even if the emperor knew it was his child, the empress dowager and others would not believe it.
The effectiveness of the fake pregnancy powder will be greatly reduced.
But if she easily agreed to enter the palace, her personality would be shattered and the emperor would look down on her.
He might have doubted in his heart whether she was really so gentle, kind, innocent and simple.
Xu Lingyi had a plan in mind that could both stimulate the emperor to take a further step and get rid of her most hated enemy in her previous life.
Xu Lingyi had just finished breakfast. She didn't sleep well last night and was about to take a nap when she saw the emperor at the door again.
"Yier."
She pretended to be surprised and stood there in a daze, as if she didn't expect to see him again so soon.
He strode towards her and put his arm around her slender waist.
It has to be said that the emperor was indeed tall and handsome, and very manly.
"At court this morning, I have already dealt with the Li family. I thought you would be happy to know this news, so I wanted to tell you right away. The Li family will be executed the day after tomorrow, and I will take you to watch it."
The emperor's tone revealed a strong desire to seek credit.
Xu Lingyi was indeed happy in her heart, because the Li family had helped Chen Rou and her brother to harm her in her previous life.
But she still looked uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, they deserve it." The emperor said soothingly, "I did a quick investigation and found out a lot. The Li family not only exploited the people and committed crimes, but also abducted women and formed cliques for personal gain. Although I investigated them because of you, they are not innocent. Yi'er has indirectly saved many people."
After the emperor's comfort, Xu Lingyi seemed to feel much more at ease.
"As for the Shen family, what does Yier want to do with them?" asked the emperor.
