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

The two seemed to have returned to the state they were in at the beginning, but they felt inexplicably more familiar with each other.

Lou Xiao often sat in silence, and Li Huaiqing would quietly accompany her.

He knew nothing about her martial arts and meridians, but he could tell whether her daily mood was good or bad through her eyes.

After all, it won't be like that day, when I almost suffered a big loss.

She already knew that Li Huaiqing was sent by His Majesty and had to report to His Majesty from time to time.

In order to avoid meeting King Youshan, Li Huaiqing always went to the palace at night, so he would inevitably meet the servants when they were sleeping with the king.

Li Huaiqing didn't care how many times he was looked down upon, but as he waited, he looked up at the corner of the sky inside the palace wall.

Entering the palace was gradually no longer part of his plan.

Newcomers were about to arrive, and he also saw candidates of different shapes, looks and styles.

Once in the harem, one must endure sharing with many people and compete with these insignificant men for the queen's favor.

Day after day, year after year.

The harem is so small, no matter how ambitious you are when you first enter the palace,

Being trapped in that small world, one's heart will inevitably become narrow-minded and superficial.

He can endure everything, including spending his life with someone he doesn't love.

But he would not allow himself to become like the men in the harem, full of resentment.

What I think about every day is how to fight for that little bit of insignificant favor.

How could Li Huaiqing have such a humble day?

Queen

It sounds unattainable, but in fact it is just dependent on the Queen and can be abandoned at any time.

To gain power, one must seek favor. It is not as satisfying as fighting for it on one's own.

Why does Your Majesty ask him to listen to the emperor's sleeping arrangements?

Was it to tell him that if he entered the palace, he would be just like them?

Seeing the listless servant again, Li Huaiqing had made up his mind that he would never enter the harem and become a man that he himself despised.

Once he began to give up, Li Huaiqing felt that the road ahead began to become very clear.

Since I want to be a subject, I must try my best to maintain a distance between Your Majesty and me.

Although Lou Xiao was imprisoned and could not be visited, His Majesty was still very concerned about her.

Lou Xiao does not fit his idea of ​​a partner. She does not like reading or painting, nor does she have great power.

It doesn't even have to be the only one... King Youshan will not let go easily.

But there were times when he lowered his head and studied calligraphy seriously, and there were times when he couldn't help himself.

The chains on her body were heavy but could not affect her at all. It was not her that was locked up, but him.

Having made up his mind, when Li Huaiqing went to Lou Xiao's dark prison again, he could no longer bear to touch the cold chains carefully.

Lou Xiao's eyes were red with confusion, as if she was about to go crazy.

Li Huaiqing held the chain and asked her, "You can't control yourself, right?"

Lou Xiao did not deny it, but just asked him to leave, "Go ahead."

Li Huaiqing didn't want to leave. Since he had already made up his mind to be a subject, his life could actually be freer.

He wanted to indulge himself in pursuit and adventure.

To get what you want, regardless of the consequences.

"Do you have to kill people? When you lost control before, was there no way to suppress it other than seeing blood?"

He was very close, seemingly stroking the chain, but in fact he was stroking the palm of her hand, which made her feel agitated and the fire in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Lou Xiao wanted to pull out the chain and push him out, but Li Huaiqing refused.

He even hugged her waist and breathed on her face.

"Lou Xiao, there is still a way to suppress it, right? Why don't you try?"

Seeing that Lou Xiao didn't answer, he whispered in her ear, "Was it the same situation that night between you and Xiao Zhengdu? If he could do it, why can't I?"
