Why did his words cause me to clench my teeth?
Maybe I am more ruthless than him, but as for making it known to everyone in the harem, that is not the result I like.
If I can distance myself from him, then I will distance myself from him.
When we arrived at the Zhenghua Palace, Lin Luoshui also arrived. I buried my head in his arms. This time, I really didn't have the face to see anyone again.
He meowed like a chicken or a duck, and like me, the whole palace was filled with anxiety.
"To see if she's all right, if she's hurt, if she's breathing is bad, frozen, hungry, and scared." A series of demands flew out of his mouth.
He still wouldn't let go of me even if he was dead, just like how I was some beloved object. He hugged me resolutely and tied a string around my wrist for Rinloran.
Alas, I don't want to stick my head out for anyone to see. I'd rather be an ostrich, and as long as I don't see my face, no one will know who I am.
How could he be this nervous? He was just playing around, and the greater the playing, the greater the news would be in the palace, and then his goal would be achieved. He was the Emperor, and his every movement attracted the attention of others. He had no intention of doing so easily.
Finally, Lin Luoshui said, "Your Majesty, she's fine. It's just that if she doesn't change her wet clothes, something might happen to her."
Hearing this, he said lightly: "Fortunately, Eunuch Yang, go and get the silkworm silver silk dress that the Western envoy paid tribute to."
Eunuch Yang reminded her in a low voice, "Your majesty, a few days ago the emperor said he wanted to give his only dress to Madame Li."
I felt his smile grow even more triumphant, his chest heaving up and down as he arrogantly said, "It shouldn't be bad for Zhiqiu to wear those clothes. It's not suitable for Li Fei to wear white. Only with her slender waist and slender limbs can she wear such a flirtatious dress."
I squeezed his waist, but he caught my hand and bit into it. It was really a bite, and the pain made me want to pull back.
That bite hurt so much that I couldn't take it anymore. I pushed him away with one hand and sat up to glare at him: "Are you done yet? Are you bored playing with me like this?"
His eyes were filled with a complacent smile as he turned my shoulder, allowing me to face the kneeling eunuch and palace maid as well as the stunned Lin Luoshui. "Luoshui, look, Zhen's little wild cat, they should still recognize each other. Zhen still likes her somewhat, at least she suits my taste. After a few days, when I see her, I want to call her 'Imperial Concubine Qiu'."
I angrily flung his hand away. "I beg of you, Your Majesty. Your majesty, your heart is higher than the heavens, it's I who has offended you, I've already paid the heavy price, I've always been wrong, the past, the present, it's all my fault. Your majesty, please forgive me."
I don't want to play with him anymore. These games don't suit me at all.
His face was full of surprise, "Zhiqiu, it is your fortune that I like you. How could it be a mistake? "Come, tell me, what do you want to do, Shang Yi? Do you want to be a good man like your good cousin Xipao, or do you want to be a concubine?"
I don't want to do anything at all.
"I just want to go back." I was so angry with him that I wanted to spit blood.
He looked at me gently. "That's true. I must have scared you. Your body is so weak. I couldn't control myself last night. You must be exhausted. Go back and have a good rest."
Clenching my lips tightly, I didn't say another word.
How wrong it is to say more. Even if he had the ability, he would distort my words. It wouldn't take long before everyone knows who I, Yun Zhiqiu, am.
"Eunuch Yang, use my carriage to send Zhi Qiu back. Tell the palace maids to wait upon him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
I clenched my fists so hard that I was afraid they would fly into his face, and I kept my mouth shut so tight that my good temper was useless in front of him.
As soon as I stepped out of the palace, Eunuch Yang made a gesture of invitation, telling me to get on the emperor's magnificent carriage. I gave it a cold look, picked a path and ran away.
I knew he had succeeded. He had pushed me into the limelight.
When I returned, I saw that quite a few palace maids were already cleaning the impoverished bamboo residences. With just a single command, they were able to move at a speed even faster than me.
It seemed that this place would never be quiet again. Sitting paralyzed on the bamboo swing, he used all his strength to shake it. He vented out all the anger he had towards him and leaned powerlessly against the bamboo.
