Yes, he would not blindly show weakness.

This was a negotiation. It was impossible for Ling Xiang to let her feel that victory was in her grasp.

"I didn't." Hearing him address himself as "This King", Ling Qing knew that his attitude had gradually become unyielding.

She knew even more that Ling Zui could forcefully take her away.

Her qualification to negotiate was just to gamble.

Previously, Ling Tian had said that for something like gambling, if one did not play tricks, it was just probability, with a 50/50 chance of winning.

As for 50%, in many places, it was a number that could be won.

"This King is only willing to wait for you because... "I like it." The negotiations that Ling Kui had come across were quite skillful as well.

The Overlord Technique could suppress one's emotions, causing one to not only fear its might, but also admire its intentions.

"The king is saying that I'm being pampered?"

It was a pity that this move was useless against Ling Qing.

When Ling Qing played chess with him, he had already found out about Ling Chao's train of thoughts. However, at that time, he had thought that … She was doted on, so she didn't need to be on guard against him.

"You're not." Ling Lingzhi's gaze softened as she said softly, "This King... "I haven't spoiled you yet …"

You haven't given her the capital to be arrogant...

If he were to return to the palace, he would definitely let her be a pampered and domineering person …

"If the king wishes to forcefully bring me back to the palace, there is no need to say these words." Ling Tian Qing finished the tea in his hand, put down his teacup and said lightly, "You can take me away immediately."

If he treated her as the only person who could give birth to the true dragon and heavenly son, he definitely wouldn't hurt her too much.

Indeed, Ling Tian Qing did not have a 50% chance of winning, she still had her Phoenix Body and Dragon Child's chips.

As long as Ling Xiang encountered fear, she would have countless leeway.

Thinking about it this way, Ling Qing was glad that he had been thinking about his pregnancy during that period of time. He often told Ling Chao to not take any medicine or drink during this period of time to popularize his pregnancy knowledge.

It also scares him to take medicine before and after his pregnancy, which will cause mental retardation and even cerebral palsy.

However, this was also because of the sense of crisis she felt at that time, as she was afraid that Ling Xin would try to feed her something like the Hundred Fairies Pill to increase her interest.

"If This King wants to bring you away, why are you wasting your breath here?" Ling Jin met with her indifferent expression, inwardly angry that this woman was getting more and more thorny.

But he was never afraid of challenges.

The little queen was not as sweet and gentle as she used to be, but she aroused another kind of conquest in him.

He had never lost in a competition of brains and techniques.

"So, the king wants me to take the initiative to return to the palace and be in harmony with you, Qin Se?" Ling Qing was waiting for these words.

"This King had indeed neglected the Queen's feelings back then. It was wrong, but you dared to run away from the palace without permission. Your crimes are unforgivable!" With a deadpan expression, Ling Chen resisted the urge to beg her to come back, maintaining his usual dignity, and coldly said, "Now that it's been so long, you should have enough fun, don't forget your identity!"

Alright, he had thought of asking Ling Tian Qing to come back.

He had used all sorts of tenderness to move this weird girl, but after she had clearly rejected him that night, Ling Xin had seen her determination and knew that begging again would only make him lose face.

There was no way he could do such a shameful thing, so he decided to return in a strong manner.

It was all the fault of Flower Speaker for causing so much trouble that Ling Jin had met a little girl who could not be coaxed back home to live well after seeing the little queen in such a humble manner.

He would never let his hot face touch the queen's cold buttocks.

Since she was playing a game with him, he would treat it as a life and death battle. He would go all out to make her convinced.

"The king actually admits that he isn't …" Ling Tian Qing felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"The Empress is currently a smart person. Since This King is willing to rebuild our relationship, I will naturally show my sincerity." Ling Xuanxin gritted her teeth and interrupted Ling Tian Qing's words. "Alright, when facing this cunning woman, I have to break the record. But I hope that esteemed wangfei will seriously consider it."

"What is your sincerity?" Ling Tian Qing asked with a sincere face.

"This king will disperse the harem. In the future, I won't force you to do something you don't want to do." Ling Lingcun enunciated each word slowly and clearly.

That was what she had requested in her diary.

He … I did my best.

"Then, what kind of sincerity does the king wish me to show?" Ling Qing asked again.

Ling Jingjing realized that it was he who had always been putting his bottom line in front of Ling Qing, but he had never touched her bottom line at all.

This was just like buying clothes and haggling over the price. The one who made the first bid would always be the one who was passively slaughtered.

Ling Xuejian had already made his bid.

The only thing left was how Ling Tian Qing would protect his own rights and interests.

And now that I've met you..." There was no way to see her bottom line.

He didn't know what she wanted either.

This negotiation was very bad. He had lost most of his advantage and was now in a passive position.

"Does the Empress really want to hear this duke's hopes?" Ling Xuejian believed that what he had said was definitely not what she wanted to hear.

"As you can see, I have a lot of things that I can't leave behind. I can't just leave these behind and return to the palace with you." Ling Tian then sighed, his tone softening, "If Your Majesty is sincere, then please give me some time. After all, I do not wish for you to really …" "Force me to leave."

These words were truly beautiful.

Not only did he not state his bottom line, he also reminded Ling Jin to be sincere and not force him to take them away, while at the same time expressing his attitude.

In short, she didn't even express if there was any love between the two. She only talked about her business and it seemed like she had really become a mercenary businessman.

"This King will naturally keep his promise, but as the Palace Lord, it is inappropriate for you to show your face in the busy city." Even though Ling Xuejian knew that she was getting more and more crafty, at least she gave him some time, so he managed to speak with difficulty.

Now that she thought about it, her eyes could only look at her with joy and happiness. Although she was very careful and happy, she was also very happy.

But now, she looked at herself with eyes as calm as a dead sea, causing Ling Lingshui's heart to feel like a small beast had revealed its sharp claws as it clawed fiercely, turning into a mess of blood and gore.

He hated the lack of emotion in her eyes. He would make her look at him again with a different look.

"Even if it's like this, isn't it good?" Ling Tian Qing pointed at his smeared face, as if he had already met the requirements with Ling Xi, and asked slowly.

"From what This King knows, you are currently hanging out in brothels and gambling houses all day. If others were to find out that the current Queen is actually the mastermind behind the Courtesan Belle selection, what kind of logic would that be?" Ling Jin continued to speak with a cold expression.

It was over. He wanted to use a gentle face, but when he saw the calm, loveless eyes of the little queen, he could not bring himself to do so.

Moreover, when Xun Qing was acting too depressingly, Ling Xiang could no longer control his own image. He always felt that if he acted a bit more gently, he would become Xun Qing.

"So, I should keep a lower profile?" Ling Qing asked humbly.

You should stay away from those little chunks of meat!

Ling Lingcun forcefully held back his words, his face still cold and imposing. "In the future, if there's anything that the Empress has to say or do, someone will naturally report it to this king. If there's anything that goes out of line …"

"What is going on?" Ling Tian Qing interrupted Ling Lingcun and asked again.

Well, now he wanted to watch him properly.

"The imperial harem rules state that the daughter of the royal family must not be alone with a man with another surname, and must not be with a guard …"

"The king seems to have said that he will dissolve the harem." Ling Qing then interrupted Ling Zui.

Ling Jingjing was a bit annoyed. She remembered that in the past, she had always interrupted her own words.

"Since the harem has dispersed, the rules should change." Ling Tian Qing then replied with an emoji of "Your sincerity is not good enough", "Furthermore, I do not have any relationship with any other people, just business dealings. If the King is still dissatisfied and criticizes me harshly, I can only invite myself to enter the palace and isolate myself from the world."

"If Empress Dowager thinks this is better, then Ben Wang won't stand on ceremony." Seeing that she was actually opposing him on such a principled matter, Ling Jin felt even more annoyed in her heart, wishing that he could really tie her up and bring her back.

"That's what the king is thinking in his heart, right?" Ling Tian Qing looked at Ling Xi's face which was filled with anger and stood up, saying lightly, "It doesn't seem like the style of the King at all."

"You …" Ling Xiang had a headache and felt … He might as well tie her up.

But if that was the case, between them … That's even more impossible, right?

"Your Majesty, why have you only come to look for me now?" Ling Qing took two steps forward and suddenly asked.

"Because... This King is waiting for you to take the initiative to return to the palace. " Ling Xuanxin clenched his teeth and said.

"That is to say, the king has been waiting for me. Does he really wish to make peace?" Ling Qing asked again.

"Yes." Ling Jingjing took a deep breath and nodded.

"Your Majesty, if you want to start over, I actually …" "It doesn't matter." Ling Qing walked up to Ling Zui and looked at his handsome face as he spoke softly.

"But I hate to talk about a set of deceit." Ling Tian Qing realized that the face in his dream was different from the face in real life.

No matter how real the dream was, it couldn't compare to the clarity of this moment.

"You have a good mouth. I give you freedom and time to speak, but in reality, you are still locked up, monitoring and controlling …" Ling Tian Qing revealed a smile, "Your Majesty, you have always been good at this, haven't you?"

Ling Jin was at a loss for words.

It was true that he had cheated before and hurt her severely, but this time, he wouldn't.

"Your Majesty, between people, if one wants to maintain a comfortable relationship for a long period of time, they have to rely on recognition and attraction, not oppression, bondage, tolerance, and the price they have to pay." Ling Qing had once heard his mother say this.

Mother said, the best state is, I love you, you are free.

Too many people do: I love you, you are mine.

There's even only one last word- You're mine.

For Lingxiu, this was the case.

"My king, my bottom line is, you can be a king, you can be a husband, you can be a god, but I want my freedom." Ling Tian Qing had finally revealed his bottom line, she would not be bound by the contract.

She wanted this person to respect her choice.

"In other words, you reject This King's requests." Ling Lingzhi asked in a deep voice.

"The king said that he would not force me to do anything. These two things are the same." Ling Tian Qing smiled.
