Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengdu stopped and looked at the wide-open window through which he had climbed in, his eyes wandering.

The room was in a mess. Their fight did not alert anyone except the maid who came over to ask a question.

Seeing that he was unwilling to move, Lou Xiao supported her face with one hand and looked puzzled, "Are you still not leaving?"

After all, the Queen let them stay in the palace. Even if she was partial to her, the palaces they stayed in were not close to each other. How could he sneak in wearing only his pajamas?

Xiao Zhengdu didn't know what was wrong with him. He came over and licked her face and said, "Miss Lou broke the bed board. I think it will be difficult for her to fall asleep. Why don't you go to my bedroom..."

His eyes sparkled as he spoke, and the invitation was strong.

Unfortunately, Lou Xiao was a wooden man. She smiled with veins popping out of her forehead. She crushed the teacup in her hand with a "snap". Liquid and sharp white porcelain pieces flew off. She took advantage of her terrifyingly white teeth and said, "Let's go."

"Okay! Sorry to bother you!" This time Xiao Zhengdu answered straightforwardly, and jumped onto the window. As the corner of his clothes disappeared through the window edge, he escaped very skillfully, and also carefully closed the window.

The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes. It's as if he had never been here.

Lou Xiao threw the broken porcelain in her hand to the ground, staring at the tea on the bright floor with a heavy look.

After a long while, she stood up and walked to the door. The maids and servants standing outside the door with their heads bowed were like statues, silent and motionless.

"Come in and clean it up." She turned aside to indicate the mess in the house, and the servants and maids filed in with their heads lowered.

She found a stool and sat down, thinking that she had to let Jiubai follow her all the time, otherwise she really would not be used to ordering these palace servants around.

Being watched while working was really stressful. The leading maid asked carefully, "Miss, it's late at night. Why don't we go to another bedroom..."

Before she could finish her words, Lou Xiao refused, "No, why are you still making trouble at this late hour? Hurry up and pack up. I'll stay in the side hall for the night."

Then you can go to the side hall now──

The maid paused, noticing that her tone was not very good, thinking that she was angry, so she lowered her head and continued to clean up as quickly as possible.

Fearing that something bad might happen, the servants cleaned up and hesitated to speak to Lou Xiao who was in a daze. The leading maid had a bitter face and dared not speak.

When Lou Xiao came out of her thoughts at some point, she was surprised and said,

"Done? Then go and rest. I don't need to serve you."

She turned and went to the side hall. It was a little shabby after all, but she was not a squeamish person. She waved her hand and asked the maid to leave again.

They then bowed and left, closing the door, looking at each other and exchanging glances.

However, Lou Xiao in the room did not lie down in the bedding. She sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, relaxed her body, took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

The palace is not fun at all.

On the other side, Xiao Zhengdu slipped back to his bedroom. As soon as he entered the room, he tore off his shirt to reveal his muscular body. He shook his head lightly, combed his black hair with his hands, and sat on the couch with his legs stretched out.

Immediately, a servant came to comb his black hair, and a waiter bent down to hand him a cup of hot tea, but Xiao Zhengdu lowered his eyes and glanced at the waiter and did not take it.

The waiter was calm, still bowing to serve tea. His body did not move at all, not even his eyelashes flickered, and his breathing was steady, without any sign of panic.

"You've come to inquire so soon. Your master is really impatient." Xiao Zhengdu dismissed the servant who was combing his hair and only kept the one serving tea. He lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear.

"Ji Heng, why do you have to follow him? He is just a coward. People who have studied for many years dare not come to see him in person, but you insist on asking me to go and investigate."

He pointed out her identity as a servant, which only made her eyelashes tremble. Such a steady look made Xiao Zhengdu sigh that she was really a good dog.

The other person held up the tea with a respectful look, the mist rose and dissipated, and between the two of them was her unspoken refusal.

Ji Heng's attitude was normal. Xiao Zhengdu snorted with a fake smile, knowing that if he didn't say it, she would have to stay here, so he said,

"Come on! Go tell your master that she didn't touch me... She's very chaste... How could your master not understand her? If you're afraid, why not try it yourself?"

I don't know which words hurt the steady servant in front of her. Only then did she slowly straighten up and transformed from a humble servant to a loyal and loyal minister who protected her master.

She bowed slightly again, "The master has his own ideas, please be careful with your words, Your Highness."

Although his eyes were still lowered, Xiao Zhengdu still sensed the disrespect for his status in these words.

He had been used to seeing the faces of slaves bullying the weak since he was a child, but since the empress ascended the throne, he was at least crowned king.

After the throne changed hands, no one among the few remaining royal descendants would embarrass him in person again.

Except someone...

Humph.

Xiao Zhengdu gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to your master! Don't forget the agreement he made with me."

After saying this, Ji Heng bowed and retreated with perfect etiquette, as respectful as every other servant. However, only Xiao Zhengdu knew how much this person and her master despised him.

When he was alone in the bedroom, he said fiercely, "I can't compare to you... You actually have come to this day..."

You look down on me, don’t you? I’m going to take away what you care about most…

When the time comes, will you kneel down and beg me? Or will you want to kill me?

"Hahaha……"

He was confident that his appearance was as good as anyone else's. Didn't she praise him today?

Xiao Zhengdu stood up proudly, "Someone, change your clothes!"

As his voice fell, the servants did not understand why they had to change clothes in the middle of the night, but no one asked a question.

It is no secret that Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu was bullied in the palace when he was young because of his foreign ancestry. Now that he is in power, no servant dares to touch this bad luck.

Only Jiheng...

He put on his clothes, which were no less formal than those he had worn during the day. He tilted his head to look at himself in the mirror, a smile forming at the corner of his lips, not knowing who he was laughing at.

The servant behind him was kneeling down to straighten his clothes when someone came to report.

"Your Highness, His Majesty's attendant Ling Yu is here..."

As if he had anticipated this move, Xiao Zhengdu patted his sleeves and said, "Let's go. Don't keep Officer Ling Yu waiting for too long."

Your Majesty has summoned you and there is no time to delay.

How could he possibly hide such a commotion from Her Majesty the Queen?

Of course, he had no intention of hiding it.

When Ling Yu led him to see His Majesty, the noble lord who was supposed to wait on His Majesty to bed was bending over to massage His Majesty's neck and shoulders. When he saw Xiao Zhengdu coming, he politely said goodbye.

Ling Yu also retreated to the door to install wood. Her Majesty was sitting on the couch, flipping through a book. She raised her eyelids and glanced at him.

It is difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.

Xiao Zhengdu lifted his clothes and knelt down, kowtowed firmly, and said in a light voice, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
