Chapter 36 The Paranoid Emperor's Bird in His Palm 8



Aunt Zhao is dead.

Ruan Mian was acquitted.

After learning the news, Lou Che summoned Princess Pingyang Qiao Lingling.

"Your Majesty, that old woman was blinded by her own faults and poisoned Miss Hu. It has nothing to do with me!"

Her Royal Highness, who was dressed in gorgeous and noble clothes, was kneeling sadly on the stage. The expensive gold and jade hairpin on her head fell off as she kowtowed and admitted her mistakes.

Her long black hair spreads on the sides of her face, making her look particularly charming.

Nanny Zhao committed suicide by taking poison, and no one could find out who ordered her to do it.

But she was Qiao Lingling's wet nurse after all. If the servant made a mistake, the master should be punished as well.

"I punish you by confining yourself to your room for three months and not leaving without permission. You must copy Buddhist scriptures three hundred times and cultivate your character."

The woman who was crying pitifully kowtowed heavily, but there was another sinister light in her eyes.

As soon as Qiao Lingling stepped into the yard, she began to vent her anger and not only pulled off the hairpin on her head but also threw it away.

He also tore up the clothes he had specially chosen for himself.

Damn it! She spent more than two hours dressing up before going to see the emperor, but he didn't even look at her.

"Someone, please burn down the room where Madam Zhao lives and everything she used, to avoid any bad luck."

What a useless fool! He even failed in his attempt to frame someone and ended up being scolded by His Majesty.

Ruan Mian was transferred to the imperial kitchen, where he could secretly taste many rare delicacies every day.

You can see with the naked eye that she has some baby fat on her face.

[Host, don't eat it. The third mission is released. Please place the purse made by the heroine under the emperor's pillow within one day.]

Seeing this, the system helplessly held its forehead.

The girl still had a lychee in her mouth. After swallowing it whole, she wiped her hands on the hem of her skirt.

She gently tied up her long, beautiful black hair with a mahogany hairpin. Her unmade-up face had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and red lips and white teeth.

The girl's faint smile was captivating.

"I know. Don't worry. I'll go right away."

After being transferred away from Princess Pingyang's courtyard, it became a bit more troublesome to go back.

Ruan Mian handed two taels of silver to the guard guarding the back door before he got the chance to go in.

I don’t know what Lou Che was thinking. Why did he transfer me to the imperial kitchen? It’s so troublesome to complete the mission now.

Qiao Lingling was copying Buddhist scriptures in the Zen room. The girl quietly slipped to her bedside and stole the purse from the secret compartment.

It was embroidered with Lou Che's small words, with fine stitches, full of indescribable love.

Let me help you stay together.

His Majesty was still reviewing memorials in the imperial kitchen at this moment, which gave Ruan Mian a good opportunity to commit the crime.

She crouched down and went into Lou Che's bedroom. She half-knelt down and took out the purse embroidered by Qiao Lingling from her arms and placed it under the pillow.

[Ding Dong, the third mission is completed, reward of 10 points, current balance is 25 points]

It’s just a small amount. How long will it take to accumulate 500 points?

The girl sighed and said, "Take it slow."

As she stood up quietly, she heard footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, today Commander-in-Chief..."

It’s over.

Where to hide?

There is no place for anyone to hide in the empty bedroom.

Ruan Mian looked at the spacious dragon bed and said, God bless, this is it.

He took off his boots and crawled directly into the innermost layer, wrapping himself up flat in the quilt.

I casually pulled down the layers of silk curtains to cover it, and it wasn't obvious at first glance.

"Well, the disaster in the south is serious. It's time to send some food to the rescue."

Lou Che sat at the desk and discussed the schedule with his personal eunuch.

He glanced at the corner of the bed, was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Back off, we'll talk another day."

All the maids left, and he coughed a few times and walked slowly over.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I saw the small bulge in the quilt move slightly.

Ruan Mian tilted her ear and listened for a while, but there was no sound. Did he leave?

The girl felt so stuffy and hot in the quilt that her whole body turned pink and her neck felt sticky.

She wanted to stick her head out to get some fresh air, so she gently pulled the quilt down a little bit. Her round eyes were red from the heat.

The girl looked straight into a pair of faces with sparse eyebrows and unparalleled beauty.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Mianmian, what are you doing in my bedroom?"

The man's voice was clear and soft, and he didn't mean to blame her.

The girl's black hair hangs down on the side of her face, and her fair skin makes her look delicate and charming.

She mumbled incoherently, and one could tell she was feeling guilty.

Ruan Mian planned to go down, but she had to step over the emperor's long legs, and she didn't dare to offend him.

The girl was too thin, and her waist was so tight that it couldn't even be held in one hand.

Lou Che had no intention of moving aside, seeing that she remained silent.

He draped his long legs over the bed and calmly began to flip through the book.

The skin on the man's slender fingers was cold white, with blue veins appearing and disappearing.

"Mianmian, just tell me what you are here for, and I will let you go."

She stepped over the emperor's leg with her left foot, but it didn't touch the ground yet.

The silk sheets she was holding were so smooth that she fell into the man's arms.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, I will get up right away..."

The girl had a pair of slender, white hands, and her jade-like earlobes were stained with a little red.

In an instant, the world was spinning.

The man's elegant eyes contained complex emotions as he lowered his eyes and stared at the girl whose delicate collarbone was exposed.

Did she do it on purpose?

"Mianmian, why do you think this purse is under my pillow?"

The girl shook her head to calm down from the dizziness, and looked at the purse between his fingers, her beautiful cheeks turning pale with tension.

"I don't know either. Perhaps it was given to you by Her Highness the Princess?"

Lou Che smiled slightly. He exuded an elegant aura, emitting a soft and clean light like the bright moon in the sky. He was so handsome that he didn't seem like an ordinary person.

"But how do you know it was given by the princess?"

There was no name on the purse at all.

The girl's fingertips, as tender as lotus roots, gripped the bed sheet beneath her tightly, a layer of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead. What should she do?

"You want me to be with her?"

She had never seen the emperor show such a paranoid and sinister expression.

The smile disappeared from his handsome face and he looked at her coldly.

"Why?"

Ruan Mian couldn't answer even one question, so he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and started making up stories.

"I think Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess are a perfect match."

After she finished speaking, there was silence in the air for several moments.
