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

When Li Huaiqing was getting dressed and preparing to leave, Lou Xiao looked at her silently with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

He was just a scholar after all, and he didn't have Xiao Zhengdu's good physical strength. Lou Xiao could see with his naked eyes that his body was trembling slightly when he stood up.

You are still so overestimating yourself. Who are you trying to compete with?

"Or else ask the jailer to find you a sedan chair?" Lou Xiao said maliciously.

Li Huaiqing was very slow in tying the belt, and the precious brocade clothes were wrinkled by the tossing and turning, looking very undignified.

He brushed off his clothes and smoothed out his hair, "Xiaoxiao, do you want everyone in the palace to know what happened to us?"

After he finished cleaning up, she sat down beside him and ran a hand through her hair, "I'll have them prepare a pandan bath for you so you can relax. They'll also change everything here so you don't get a restful sleep."

Lou Xiao grabbed his clothes on his chest with one hand, pulled him in front of her, and said fiercely with gnashing teeth,

"Li Huaiqing, do you think I am your forbidden lover?"

Without her realizing it, her two personalities were slowly merging, as if this was her original self.

Li Huaiqing took the opportunity to hug her and thought, if only it were true.

But she begged for mercy, "I dare not, I dare not, I am your forbidden fruit."

Lou Xiao pushed him away with one hand and waved, "Let's go."

Go and report their current situation to His Majesty quickly. She may be released from prison soon.

Li Huaiqing reluctantly walked out of the dark prison. Before leaving, he looked back. Lou Xiao had been looking down, thinking about something.

As if she realized something, she raised her head and looked at him, as if asking, is there anything else?

He smiled, lifted the corner of his clothes and walked out.

She already took the initiative to look at him, and sure enough, the two of them took a step further.

It's not late at night anymore.

In the dim morning light, servants led a team of more than 20 men with their heads lowered and passed by Li Huaiqing.

The servants greeted him, and Li Huaiqing asked in a very good mood, "Is this the person who was chosen to serve His Majesty in the palace? Yunsu City is blessed with beautiful people, and they are all good-looking."

The servant replied in a low voice, "Sir, it's not just Yunsu City. The palace will be bustling in the future."

"Giving birth to a child with His Majesty as soon as possible is the top priority at the moment. No matter if you are from Yunsu City or anywhere else, you must serve His Majesty wholeheartedly and learn the rules."

He looked into one of their eyes with encouragement in his eyes. That was the person sent by the Li family.

Regardless of whether Li Huaiqing will become the queen or not, when His Majesty is recruiting men, so many people from Yunsu City have come, so the Li family will certainly not be left behind.

Everyone wants to have someone by your Majesty's side who can speak well of them.

"Thank you for your advice..."

The servant led the group of men to thank Li Huaiqing and then continued on their way.

Li Huaiqing watched the backs of this group of people as they stepped into the deep palace walls and slowly disappeared.

At this moment, he was actually somewhat glad that he was not among them.

Even if you become a king or queen, it may not be a happy life.

After the group of people turned a corner, a brave one quietly asked the servant, "Who is that? The nobleman beside His Majesty or...? Sir? He actually has an official position?"

The servant made a gesture to seal his mouth and whispered, "That person is Li Jia Huaiqing. If you can learn a little bit of his character, you will benefit from it in the palace for the rest of your life!"

"Do you mean that His Majesty likes him? Then why doesn't he serve His Majesty with us?"

The servant covered the speaker's mouth with one hand and said, "How dare you speculate on your majesty's thoughts? Your majesty has his own reasons."

It is natural for you to have some concerns when someone who is too smart sleeps next to you.

Li Huaiqing is more suitable to be a minister rather than to be the queen in the harem.
