"Your Majesty, your room is locked from the outside to prevent outsiders from entering. The key is kept by Miss Qingqiu. This is Miss Qingqiu's room. This servant will bring you the key right away," the waiter said.
This is also for Gu Mu's safety, and Qingqiu is the manager of the shop, so it's perfectly reasonable.
But Gu Mu never expected that when Qingqiu opened the door, there would be such a sensual scene inside.
A large wooden bathtub was placed directly opposite the door, its steam rising and filling the room.
A beautiful girl wearing a bright red bellyband stepped out of the wooden tub, her feet still wet with water droplets.
A thin, almost transparent, peach-colored blouse was draped half-open over her body.
Her long, straight legs and snow-white skin were on full display.
This scene was captured by Gu Mu's unsuspecting view when the waiter suddenly opened the door, revealing a beautiful woman emerging from her bath.
"Ah!" Qingqiu was clearly startled and cried out in surprise.
Then, she pulled the thin shirt with her hand and covered her chest with it.
Unfortunately, the thin shirt was so transparent that it made no difference whether it covered me or not.
Even though Qingqiu covered her chest with a thin shirt, her legs were still completely exposed.
Although Qingqiu's face showed a look of panic and shame.
But in her heart she was thinking: "Your Majesty, when I seduced you while drunk, you were unmoved, but you didn't reject me either. If it weren't for that fierce maid..."
"Now, I'm much more alluring than I was when I was drunk. This time, shouldn't you take the initiative with me?"
Qingqiu lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment, and whispered, "Your Majesty..."
Like a proper young woman who has never married, suddenly being caught off guard by the person she secretly admires, she feels extremely shy but not angry.
Outside the door,
Gu Mu glanced at Qing Qiu.
She has a good figure and a pretty face, but that's about it.
Gu Mu's keen eyes allowed him to see through Qingqiu's subtle movements and micro-expressions.
Although Qingqiu lowered her head in feigned shyness, her eyes were calm, and even a hint of longing flickered within that calmness.
Therefore, this scene was probably planned by Qingqiu long ago.
Gu Mu already had a bad feeling about Qing Qiu, so even though Qing Qiu could create a sensual picture of a beautiful woman emerging from a bath, Gu Mu had no interest in her at all.
After all, he still has that much self-control.
So, he calmly turned his head away, his gaze not lingering on Qingqiu, and strode out of the room, heading towards his own room.
Just kidding, although Shen Ling was sent away at this time, she was still staying at the same inn as Gu Mu.
As alert as Shen Ling is, he will surely react quickly.
If Shen Ling finds out that he's entangled with other women, then...
So all the goodwill he had painstakingly built up with Shen Ling after reconciling was destroyed in an instant.
As an emperor, he could have any woman he wanted, but he only loved Shen Ling.
In his eyes, everything else was nothing compared to Shen Ling, who was like a goddess descended to earth.
Qingqiu was stunned for a moment...
What the heck?
His Majesty merely glanced at her, then calmly left.
She...she's even more beautiful than before. In terms of beauty, she's no less stunning than Shen Ling.
Why did His Majesty only glance at her...?
Zhang Banxian, who was under the bed, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Mu's footsteps leaving.
Although he couldn't see, he knew what Qingqiu had done just by listening to the sounds.
He knew, of course, that at this moment, Gu Mu had seen almost everything about Qingqiu's body...
But at least His Majesty didn't do anything to Qingqiu, and that's enough...
At this point, Zhang Bansian was completely unaware; his bottom line began to lower little by little...
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty suddenly turned back.
I heard the footsteps walking back until they stopped outside the door and then went into the room.
Zhang Banxian's heart tightened again.
Could it be that His Majesty has changed his mind again...?
His pure and innocent beauty... is it going to be tainted?
However, this was not what Zhang Banxian was most worried about.
Because he's currently hiding under the bed, if His Majesty were to do *that* to Qingqiu, wouldn't it be right above him, separated only by a wooden board...?
Without realizing it, Zhang Bansian pictured that scene in his mind.
Then my heart trembled with pain.
Then he saw the sheets being lifted, and he was confronted with a nightmarish face: "Stop hiding, come out."
For a moment, the air was completely silent.
Let's rewind a few minutes.
Qingqiu watched Gu Mu leave expressionlessly, but after a moment of stunned silence, a cold smile flashed across her lips.
She picked up the hairpin in her hand, about to stab her neck, and murmured, "Your Majesty, my innocence has been ruined by Your Majesty. I was born to be Your Majesty's person, and I will die to be Your Majesty's ghost, but Your Majesty is someone I can never reach. Therefore, I can only express my sincere heart to Your Majesty by dying."
The waiter was surprised by Qingqiu's appearance; forcing His Majesty might displease him.
If Your Majesty is displeased because someone has died, then it might not just be a matter of one life.
So the waiter instinctively advised, "No!"
Qingqiu knew the waiter would try to dissuade her, so she gave a bitter smile and said, "A woman's innocence is more important than anything else. Since my innocence has already been ruined, I should not live in this world."
At that moment, His Majesty walked in.
Qingqiu believed that His Majesty was moved by her fierce spirit.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Immediately afterwards, she saw His Majesty walk straight to the bedside, lift the sheet, and reveal a man hiding under the bed.
"..." waiter.
"..." Qingqiu.
"..." Zhang Banxian.
Gu Mu had sensed someone under the bed when he passed by the inn.
His body had been enhanced, giving him astonishing perception; this was something that couldn't be hidden from him at all.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Qingqiu, he also knew that women in ancient times valued chastity above all else.
Although Qingqiu was seducing him, the person under the bed endured it, carefully concealing his presence.
Gu Mu didn't want to expose this abnormal, ill-fated couple.
Ultimately, it had nothing to do with him, and Gu Mu was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.
But unexpectedly, Qingqiu tried to morally blackmail him.
Gu Mu couldn't stand it anymore.
So he went back, lifted the sheet, and told everyone that there was someone under the bed, and it was a man.
This time,
Zhang Banxian's face remained stiff, then he gradually began to wail.
This was even more unsettling than he had imagined, especially the scene of Gu Mu and Qing Qiu doing *that* in bed.
Because Qingqiu will definitely hate him.
He opened his mouth, as if to explain something.
Then, Qingqiu loosened her grip, and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Standing behind Gu Mu, Qingqiu looked at Zhang Banxian with a gaze that Zhang Banxian would never forget.
