Chapter 5



"The crime of deceiving the emperor?" I raised my eyebrows, stroked my chest in an exaggerated manner, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I am just a woman, how can I know what deceiving the emperor is? I was just telling the truth." After saying that, I deliberately threw a coquettish look in Li Rui's direction.

Li Rui was obviously surprised by my bold action and avoided my sight in panic. I laughed in my heart, this ancient king is so innocent and adorable.

"Oh? Tell me the truth?" Li Heng narrowed his eyes, with a hint of danger in his tone, "Then tell me, my brother, which love song did you play? And who did you play it for?"

I sneered in my heart. This old fox really wants me to make things clear.

"Your Majesty, this song is unfamiliar to me. I think it should be a new composition by the prince. As for the person in this song..." I deliberately prolonged my tone, my eyes moving back and forth between Li Rui and me, "Your Majesty, can't you guess it?"

"How dare you!" Li Heng slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Lin Qingya, how dare you tease me!"

I shrank my neck in fear, but in my heart I was overjoyed. You are too young to fight me!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I dare not do that." I said with my head lowered. "I just saw that the prince seemed to be in a good mood today, and the song was played very emotionally, so I couldn't help but make a random guess. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Humph!" Li Heng snorted coldly, obviously not believing what I said, but he couldn't do anything to me. After all, what I said was ambiguous, and he couldn't really punish me for "making wild guesses", right?

"Your Majesty, I just felt like playing a piece of music today. There is no other intention." Li Rui saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and quickly opened his mouth to speak.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the prince has always been elegant. I think the song he sang today was just an impromptu performance." I also tried to smooth things over.

Li Heng looked at me deeply, without saying anything, but just picked up the wine glass and drank it all. I know that this matter is temporarily over, but this does not mean that Li Heng really believes me.

I secretly sighed. This ancient palace life was really thrilling. However, who gave me the ability to read minds? As long as I can hear what these people are thinking, I will be invincible!

Thinking of this, I was full of confidence. I raised my glass and toasted Li Heng with a glass of wine, smiling sweetly: "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast, and wish you a long life!"

Li Heng's mouth curled up into a slight sneer, and he also raised his wine glass and drank it all. I know that this is just the calm before the storm, and a bigger storm is coming towards me...

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well today. May I take my leave first?" I said softly.

Li Heng looked at me with amusement, as if he was thinking about something. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and continued to maintain my perfect ladylike demeanor.

"Approved." Li Heng finally said these two words. I felt as if I had been pardoned. I quickly stood up and bowed to leave, as if I was afraid that he would change his mind.

Walking out of the magnificent palace, I breathed a sigh of relief. My god, these ancient emperors are so hard to serve! If it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't bother dealing with them!

"Sister Qingya, please stay."

A gentle voice came from behind me, and I knew who it was without turning around.
