His calm demeanor, as if he had the world in his hands, made Duan Qingxi feel particularly uncomfortable.
But getting the space bracelet back was urgent, so she had no choice but to say, "Okay, give me the bracelet!"
Helian Sheng was a little surprised, "You agreed?"
Duan Qingxi shrugged and said, "Is it okay if I don't agree? You can do whatever you want, but I have to warn you: don't ruin my innocence or my reputation, and don't cause me any trouble! Otherwise, we'll end our friendship!"
The man curled his lips, took out the bracelet from his arms and returned it to her, "Okay."
It's just a matter of ruining a marriage, which is a very simple thing.
Duan Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief after getting the space bracelet.
She tried to sense the situation inside, and fortunately, Xiaodai was still staying inside to practice and heal his injuries.
After putting the bracelet away, Duan Qingxi waved to Helian Sheng and said, "In that case, I'll be leaving first!"
As a result, as soon as the person raised his foot, the man pulled it back.
Duan Qingxi shouted at him angrily: "What the hell do you want to do?"
The man's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly: "Have dinner with me before you leave."
Duan Qingxi glanced at the sky outside and said, "But it's only noon now."
"Well, let's go have lunch first."
Duan Qingxi: ...
After having a big meal with the man, Duan Qingxi half-lay on the soft couch, touching her bloated belly and burping a few times, looking at the man sitting at the desk and handling things seriously.
I have to say, this man is quite handsome when he is serious, although she can't see his face.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why do you always wear a mask?"
Helian Sheng didn't know whether he didn't hear her or was deliberately ignoring her, so he didn't reply.
Seeing this, Duan Qingxi became even more curious. She simply stood up from the couch and walked towards the man. Then, she leaned on the desk and asked him again, "Your Highness, is your face injured? Why are you wearing a mask?"
As she spoke, she reached out to take off the man's mask in a mischievous manner.
But even though her hand was touching the man's mask, he remained indifferent.
Remembering what he once said, if you take off his mask, you have to be his woman, she silently withdrew her hand.
Although Helian Sheng didn't say anything, he watched her every move.
When he saw her silently retract her hand, his face turned ugly, and he wanted to grab her hand and take off the mask on her face.
But thinking that he was now poisoned, and even she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to detoxify him, he naturally didn't dare to force her.
We still have to wait until the poison is resolved...
Just at this moment, Su He hurried in.
When he saw Duan Qingxi leaning against the desk, seemingly doing something inappropriate for children with Helian Sheng, he was stunned, then turned around and was about to run out.
Finally, Helian Sheng called out to him, "What's the matter?"
Su He froze, then slowly turned around, only to see Duan Qingxi looking at him with confusion, probably curious about why he suddenly wanted to leave.
Feeling inexplicably embarrassed, Su He still pretended to be calm and walked forward.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has returned."
Helian Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Oh?"
Su He glanced at Duan Qingxi and continued, "Moreover, he also brought back news of floods in several villages and towns in the northwest. It's said that the officials there were corrupt, and the number of victims doubled after the floods. The officials did nothing and even ordered the victims to be killed, fearing that they would flock to the capital and attract the emperor's attention."
Duan Qingxi couldn't help but curse, "Damn! Are you so heartless?!"
Su He continued, "And it is said that the victims have been pouring into the capital and should be outside the city in three days. The Imperial Master hopes that the Emperor will order the resettlement of these victims, so the Emperor has handed this matter over to..."
Su He stopped talking and glanced at Duan Qingxi.
