Lin Qingya hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Li Heng, with a hint of resistance in her eyes. She knew that Li Heng must have a purpose for leaving her alone, and this purpose was definitely not a good one.

"Your Majesty, I still have things to take care of." Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but with a sense of alienation.

"It's okay, all those things can be put aside. I want to talk to you alone." Li Heng spoke softly with a smile on his face. He walked to Lin Qingya and gently held her hand.

Lin Qingya frowned slightly and wanted to pull her hand back, but she found that Li Heng's palm was tightly holding hers, and the lines were moving.

"Qingya, you are always so calm and wise. I admire you very much." Li Heng's voice is low and magnetic, with a hint of irresistible charm.

Lin Qingya suppressed her inner discomfort, gently pulled back her hand, remained calm, and said, "Your Majesty is too kind, I just did my duty."

"Qingya, I only admire you." Li Heng looked straight at Lin Qingya, his eyes were burning, as if to melt Lin Qingya.

"I want to get you and spend the rest of my life with you. Are you willing?" Li Heng's voice was trembling a little, and he waited anxiously for Lin Qingya's answer.

"Your Majesty, you are joking." Lin Qingya suppressed her inner disgust and remained calm. She shook her head gently and said, "There is a huge difference in status between your majesty and me. You are the emperor, and I am just an insignificant woman. How dare I hope to spend the rest of my life with you?"

Li Heng frowned slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He seemed to find it difficult to accept Lin Qingya's rejection, but he still suppressed his anger and asked, "Qingya, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

"Your Majesty, I only have respect for you and have no other thoughts." Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but firm.

"Qingya, are you rejecting me?" Li Heng's tone became a little hard, and his eyes became cold.

"Your Majesty..." Lin Qingya hesitated for a moment. She knew Li Heng's temper. If she continued to refuse, he might get angry.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to do. I will take my leave now." Lin Qingya said, and wanted to turn around and leave, but she found that Li Heng's hand had reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Qingya, you can leave!" Li Heng said firmly, his eyes filled with a strong possessiveness. He grabbed Lin Qingya's arm tightly, trying to stop her from leaving.

Lin Qingya struggled to break free, but was firmly held by Li Heng. She felt a little panic, but she forced herself to calm down and said, "Your Majesty, please let go!"

"Qingya, you should know that I don't like to force anyone." Li Heng's voice was threatening, and his eyes became gloomy, as if he would get furious in the next second.

"Your Majesty..." Lin Qingya pleaded in a low voice. She knew that if she continued to anger Li Heng, she might be in danger.

"Qingya, you want to find Li Rui, I can help you." Li Heng suddenly changed his tone, and spoke softly, as if the strength just now was just an illusion.

Lin Qingya was stunned for a moment. She understood why Li Heng suddenly changed his mind. She asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course." Li Heng's eyes flashed with a sly light, and he said, "I have always wanted to know who the mysterious Li Rui is, and what is the relationship between him and you?"

Lin Qingya remained silent. She knew that Li Heng's help was not out of goodwill. He just wanted to use her to achieve his own goals.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness, but I also hope to find Li Rui by myself." Lin Qingya's tone was firm, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

"Very good, I admire your courage." Li Heng raised his lips slightly, released Lin Qingya's hand, and said, "Qingya, I promise you that I will send someone to help you find Li Rui."

Lin Qingya bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go, go." Li Heng waved his hand, signaling Lin Qingya to leave. Looking at Lin Qingya's back, a complex light flashed in his eyes.

Lin Qingya turned and left, her heart full of anxiety. She knew that Li Heng's promise was not trustworthy, and she must be careful and protect herself.
