Chapter 142 One Step Further
Shen Qing did not reply, but she was actually a little surprised, which was rare and a little complicated. Did he really care about her so much?
Did you realize that she would get so angry after being pushed?
This was really a small matter. He should be very used to such things. In fact, as an emperor, he should enjoy such things and take it for granted. Just look at how Xuanyuan Ling doted on her in the past and slept with other concubines without hesitation. How can the feelings of an emperor be compared with those of ordinary people?
But Shen Qing's positioning of Xuanyuan Ling was wrong for the first time.
Xuanyuan Ling's behavior towards her went beyond pity and guilt.
Xuanyuan Ling cares about her more than expected. Is this a good thing?
Now that Xuanyuan Ling's feelings for her have exceeded expectations, should she call it a day and continue to coax him, or should she take another step forward?
If we go one step further, where will it end?
Xuanyuan Ling apologized, but Chen Qing still looked indifferent. He didn't care about the little thing pushing him openly: "Still making trouble?"
This is the way to coax children.
Shen Qing made up her mind. If she didn't advance, she would retreat. She raised her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Ling: "I can't protect myself. Can the emperor protect me?"
Xuanyuan Ling said that he would protect her more than once, and in fact he did protect her, but he was the emperor and the harem was under the jurisdiction of the empress. The empress had many spies, and his attention was ultimately focused more on the previous dynasty. Most of the time, he could protect her by controlling the number of times he came, or diverting other people's attention to make her less conspicuous.
She has to do everything herself to deal with the queen or guard against other people in the harem.
Xuanyuan Ling knew Chen Qing's caution, so he could come back and admit his mistakes, because sometimes he really couldn't protect Chen Qing, and he couldn't blame her for doing such a thing, but this method could sometimes hurt people.
Because of being too cautious, it is inevitable that there is less humanity and more calculation.
Of course Xuanyuan Ling didn't blame her now, but now she said that she couldn't protect herself and asked him to protect her.
"What?" Xuanyuan Ling asked suddenly.
Shen Qing's expression was very serious. She said, "This time, I don't think I did anything wrong, so the emperor is angry, and I am also very angry."
Xuanyuan Ling's heart tightened when he heard this.
Shen Qing said this, looking at Xuanyuan Ling quietly: "But the emperor apologized just now, and said that the emperor would deal with this matter and would not embarrass me. I suddenly realized that if I had to protect myself, it would make the emperor angry. Then, can the emperor protect me more than before in the future?"
What she meant was that in the future, she would not make decisions on her own about these matters, but would leave them to him obediently and wait for his decision. There would be no such situation as today in the future. She might as well play dumb to the end. Even to the Queen, she might not intend to be as submissive as before. She was giving herself to him wholeheartedly, or in other words, she was handing her life over to him.
Xuanyuan Ling's heart was shocked. She was really...
He had just been struggling with this matter, and he felt uncomfortable when Shen Qing pushed him away, but he accepted it, and she suddenly said these words.
She was so sincere, holding her true heart in front of him, looking so honest and pitiful, as if she was begging him for it.
Xuanyuan Ling's heartbeat was so fast that she suddenly had an idea in her mind: hurry up, make her a concubine, and then a concubine. After becoming a concubine, she wouldn't have to have such a hard time in the harem, and she wouldn't have to look at other people's faces except the queen.
But there is also the Queen...
No, I can't think further.
He thought so and hugged the person tightly in his arms: "Okay."
Shen Qing let out a long sigh of relief. The two of them hugged each other in this position for a long time before she said in a disastrous tone, "I am still feeling uncomfortable. Your Majesty, please leave today."
Xuanyuan Ling's tenderness just now really made Shen Qing's words shattered, and he thought he had heard it wrong: "What did you say?"
Shen Qing snorted: "When the emperor was angry, he abused me. Although I know I was wrong, I don't intend to forgive the emperor for what he did."
This kind of habit of pulling her to have sex when angry cannot be tolerated at all!
"What is abuse?" Xuanyuan Ling asked, "Aren't you also sharp-tongued?"
Shen Qing refused to admit it anyway: "It was the emperor who spoke first. Anyway, I can't serve you today. Your Majesty should leave, and take those two with you. It makes me uncomfortable to see you."
Xuanyuan Ling's tone softened a little: "Are you really hurt? Let me take a look?"
Shen Qing was ashamed and angry: "No! Go away!"
Xuanyuan Ling was not angry at all. How could she be angry when she looked like this? "Forget it, I will deal with those two first and come back to see you. You should have a good rest."
However, after this matter was dealt with, the Queen would definitely call Shen Qing for questioning, so he simply didn't want to ask Shen Qing to see the Queen at all.
In Xuanyuan Ling's heart, the queen is not a good person.
He was shunned, and he was in a bad mood at first, but then he turned around and removed the green card and put him under house arrest. Although it was just a show, he even had a smile on his face when he went out now.
Zhao Hai and Chunhua were all very anxious outside. The two masters were having a conflict, and the servants were all on edge. But when the emperor came out, he had a smile on his face, as if the previous scene was just an illusion.
Zhao Hai was really anxious. He wanted to know how the emperor could laugh now when he was so angry before.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard Xuanyuan Ling say, "Those two palace maids who were pouring tea earlier were rude and should be punished with twenty strokes of the cane and sent to the laundry department."
Zhao Hai agreed immediately.
Xuanyuan Ling then ordered: "The noble lady of Zhaohua Palace Xi's words were inappropriate. She will be confined for ten days to serve as a warning to others."
Chunhua and Fangyun’s faces turned pale instantly.
It was really that none of the servants below understood. After Xuanyuan Ling gave the third sentence, he frightened Chunhua and Fangyun and made them kneel down: "Call the imperial physician over."
They had just seen Shen Qing giving Xuanyuan Ling a hard time, so what were the two of them doing in there now that they had to call the imperial physician?
It was not until Xuanyuan Ling left that the two of them entered and saw that Chen Qing was fine, and they were dumbfounded.
Shen Qing naturally listened to his series of instructions. It was true that he told her to have nothing to worry about. He was confined to her house and pretended to be sick. Shen Qing thought that he had thought it through very carefully. He even found a reason for her not to see the queen?
Well, that's pretty thoughtful, isn't it? I just don't know what the Queen thinks.
