"W-How could there be someone?" Qingqiu reacted quickly, her face turning pale as she spoke.
The waiter hadn't expected this turn of events. If His Majesty knew that Qingqiu had tried to seduce him and that there was a man hiding under her bed...
If His Majesty were to become enraged, not only would the officials lose their jobs, but even minor figures like them could be beheaded.
After all, although His Majesty is a man of extraordinary talent, under his leadership, the economy and strength of the Southern Kingdom are thriving.
But everyone knows that His Majesty has a notorious reputation for being ruthless and cruel.
Killing a few people is nothing more than a daily occurrence for His Majesty.
The waiter really wanted to go downstairs and call the manager and the local officials, but there were only four of them. If the waiter ran away right under His Majesty's nose, His Majesty might get even angrier.
At that moment, the waiter felt nothing but regret.
She regretted that despite the Emperor and Empress's deep affection for each other, she still helped Qingqiu seduce the Emperor.
Now I can only stand here, not knowing whether to leave or stay, my face ashen.
At that moment, Qingqiu had already grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on the moment Gu Mu lifted the bed sheet.
She was, after all, destined to marry His Majesty.
If His Majesty discovers that her innocence has been tainted by someone else, given His Majesty's status, he would certainly not want her anymore.
Therefore, even when His Majesty lifted the bedsheet, which would have been enough to cause panic and blankness in ordinary people, Qingqiu knew to immediately grab her clothes and cover herself completely.
Gu Mu followed Zhang Banxian's deathly pale gaze and glanced back.
I saw that Qingqiu was dressed very conservatively, and nothing was showing.
It's strange. The tension that Qingqiu felt when the waiter accidentally opened the door before shouldn't be higher than it is now.
But back then, Qingqiu just hurriedly pulled the collar of her thin shirt together, it was the same whether she was wearing it or not.
But now, even in such a tense moment, she can quickly put on a coat that covers her entire body completely.
A woman's heart...
That's why they say, being saved by a handsome guy is something you can only repay with your body.
Being saved by someone who is ugly is a terrible thing to do, and all I can do to repay them is to be their slave in my next life.
Qingqiu, on the verge of tears, said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, you must do justice for me! I was resting peacefully in this room when this scoundrel broke in."
Finally, Qingqiu added, "Fortunately, the thief was hiding under the bed, and I noticed that the bed sheet was not lifted. Otherwise, I would die a hundred times and still not be satisfied with my anger."
"Really?" Gu Mu stood up, the sheet draped over the bed, and didn't fall off again.
Zhang Banxian huddled under the bed, trembling.
He also saw His Majesty, and in this situation, he had no way to escape.
If the world knew,
The renowned fortune teller Zhang Bansian was actually a good-for-nothing.
Then, his master's secret is likely to be exposed to the public.
When the time comes, don't be fooled by his master's seemingly benevolent appearance; he won't let him off the hook, and he'll definitely suffer a terrible death.
But these are not what Zhang Banxian is most worried about.
He saw the look of disgust in Qingqiu's eyes when she looked at him.
He was utterly disgusted by the woman he cherished most...
For a moment, Zhang Banxian felt utterly devastated.
Gu Mu felt that such a good show should definitely be watched with Shen Ling.
He never expected that transmigrating into a female-oriented novel would lead to all sorts of melodramatic plots.
However, the fact that this happens, and that such scenarios are frequently seen in TV dramas with a predominantly female audience, suggests that it appeals to girls.
At that moment, Gu Mu also heard Shen Ling's footsteps approaching.
He knew that Shen Ling was always alert and would react quickly even if she was distracted.
"Ling'er".
When Shen Ling reached the door, Gu Mu called out to her.
Shen Ling froze, staring at the scene inside the door.
Inside the door, a woman wrapped in clothes, clearly not fully dressed, stood beside the bathtub, her hair wet and dripping water.
Gu Mu, on the other hand, stood by the bed with an expression of watching a good show.
Immediately, Chen Ling's face darkened: "Your Majesty?"
"Ling'er, don't be angry. You'll understand once you come and take a look." Gu Mu was also taken aback, realizing that Shen Ling had misunderstood, and quickly explained.
Shen Ling glanced at Qingqiu, whose face was pale.
Although her clothes were disheveled, she was now fully covered up.
However, girls understand girls best, and Shen Ling could tell that Qing Qiu initially wanted to seduce His Majesty.
But for some reason, he covered his body at this moment, his face pale, as if he had suffered a major blow.
His Majesty's attention, however, was not on Qingqiu's face at all, but rather... under the bed.
Shen Ling's expression softened a little.
For some reason, she felt that her temperament was already very good.
Even if a formidable enemy were at the city gates, even if someone had a sword pointed at her neck, she believed she could remain calm and composed.
But just seeing His Majesty alone in a room with a woman stirred up his emotions, and his expression turned somewhat displeased.
They're really getting worse as they get older.
Thinking this, Shen Ling took a deep breath, forced a smile, walked to Gu Mu's side, and curiously peered down.
Then I met a pair of innocent, squinty eyes.
Zhang Banxian opened his small eyes, and in an instant, he felt like he had become a guinea pig being watched by others.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Shen Ling had never met Zhang Banxian before. Although she had learned her skills from her master since childhood, she had been in seclusion and did not concern herself with the affairs of the martial world. After returning to the capital, she had completely severed her ties with the martial world.
Therefore, although Zhang Banxian was very famous in the martial arts world, Shen Ling had only heard of him and had never seen him.
For a moment, they were stunned: "How come there's a man under this Miss Qingqiu's bed?"
As Shen Ling entered the room, the waiters who had tried to distract her, the shopkeeper, and the local officials all gathered around.
They were very worried that His Majesty and Miss Qingqiu might be caught by the Empress while they were being intimate in the room.
However, Shen Ling clearly realized something was wrong and prevented them from getting too close.
That's why they caught up at this moment.
As soon as they reached the door,
Then I heard Shen Ling say that there was a man under Qingqiu's bed.
For a moment, everyone's expression froze, and then, like a bolt of lightning, it shattered completely.
You must understand, His Majesty is not a casual person; the maids they selected for the shop were all unmarried.
If they were to offer Qingqiu to His Majesty, there was a man hiding under Qingqiu's bed.
Isn't this a conspiracy between them to cuckold His Majesty?
It should be noted that the young emperor appointed by the late emperor's decree was not his biological son, and had already become a laughing stock of the world.
They felt that His Majesty would not tolerate this at all.
