My heart skipped a beat. This voice belonged to the present emperor, Li Heng! How could he suddenly come to my small villa?

Zhao Sisi was obviously startled, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

I endured the "severe pain" in my head and knelt down slowly, but in my heart I cursed Zhao Sisi. This idiot actually brought the emperor here!

Li Heng waved his hand impatiently, signaling us to stand up. He looked at me with a hint of inquiry: "Are you Lin Qingya?"

I lowered my head, trying to appear weak and helpless, and whispered, "Your servant... is..."

"Look up." Li Heng's voice did not express his emotions.

I was in great pain, but I had to slowly raise my head and secretly look at him with my peripheral vision. I saw him wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looking majestic without even getting angry, and with a dignified look from someone who had been in a high position for a long time, which made people dare not look directly at him.

"I heard that you fell into the water today, and it seems... you also lost your memory?" Li Heng's tone was a little playful.

I sneered in my heart. This old fox was clearly trying to test me! I pretended to be at a loss and said timidly, "Your Majesty, I don't know why I fell into the water. After I woke up, I couldn't remember many things..."

"Oh? Really?" Li Heng didn't comment, his eyes scanning between me and Zhao Sisi, "Then I have to ask Miss Zhao, what did Miss Lin promise you?"

Zhao Sisi's face turned pale and she stammered, "Your servant...your servant..."

"Why, how dare you hesitate in front of me?" Li Heng's voice sank, and an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped him.

I secretly observed Zhao Sisi and saw cold sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that she was frightened. I was secretly happy. How dare you, a fool, to provoke me!

"Tell me! What's going on?" Li Heng slammed the table and shouted angrily.

Zhao Sisi was so frightened that she trembled all over, fell to her knees with a thud, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your servant... Your servant was just joking with Miss Lin... It's nothing... It's nothing..."

"Are you kidding?" Li Heng sneered, "Prime Minister Zhao's daughter is so unruly. Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Zhao Sisi was so frightened that her soul left her body. She kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong! I won't do it again! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

Li Heng ignored her pleas for mercy and turned his gaze to me, with a meaningful tone: "Ms. Lin, what do you think I should do with her?"

I laughed in my heart. This old fox wanted me to be the bad guy! My eyes rolled and a plan came to my mind. I bit my lips lightly and said with a pitiful look: "Your Majesty... your servant... your servant doesn't know..."

"Don't know?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at me with interest.

I took a deep breath, suddenly knelt down, and said with tears in my eyes: "Your Majesty, I know that I am humble, and now I have lost my memory, like a useless person... Miss Zhao is tall and noble, and I... I dare not marry someone so high... I only ask Your Majesty to show mercy and let me... let me..."

I deliberately didn't say anything else. I just covered my face and cried, my shoulders shaking slightly, looking heartbroken.

Li Heng looked at me with deep and unfathomable eyes, but the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc...
