The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Love?

Lu Qingqing had never thought about this problem.

She just wanted to use Li Xuansheng's status as an emperor to exchange for the throne that all the women in the harem dreamed of.

When she heard Li Xuansheng blurt out the words "shameless", her thoughts became more firm.

She hugged the man in her arms a little tighter, her movements gentle but heartless.

"Your Majesty, do you know what I love most about you?"

Li Xuansheng's frantic heart calmed down temporarily, and his eyes gradually became clear.

He knew that all the women in the harem liked his power.

Li Xuansheng was confused.

After saying that, Lu Qingqing stepped back a few inches, gently held the man's face in her arms, leaned close to the man's ear, and leaned her face against the man's chest.

"I like it most when Your Majesty saves me from danger."

The blush at the corners of her eyes gradually deepened, like the tail of a red carp, and her eyelashes shone with faint tears.

"Do you remember? One day, I was also serving the emperor in the Qianqing Palace. I said that I wanted to learn martial arts and protect the emperor at all times."

Lu Qingqing's words evoked Li Xuansheng's memory.

She seemed to have said that.

But so what?

What does this have to do with what she did today?

Lu Qingqing paused, then spoke.

"I know that I am weak, and learning a skill is just wishful thinking on my part."

"But!"

At this point, the tears in the corners of her eyes seemed to understand her emotions, and they shone brighter than before.

"However, my desire to protect the Emperor will never change!"

"Before I met the Emperor, I was just a maid in the palace who no one knew. Now that I have been granted the title of noble lady, it is a sign of the Emperor's mercy."

"Everyone in the palace says that I am like a pampered dodder flower. I can only cling to Your Majesty and be nourished by your rain and dew."

"But!"

Lu Qingqing's voice trembled, and her intense emotions caused the whiteness of her chest to rise and fall.

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and when she got to the key point, her emotions reached the extreme and she had to stop and take a deep breath.

Then he took a deep breath and continued sobbing:

"But! I am also a caring person!"

"My parents are both dead, you... you are my only relative in this world."

"I want to repay your love for me."

"What I did was just to do my bit to contribute to the emperor's eternal cause!!"

Li Xuansheng was shocked by the violent reaction of the young woman in front of him.

He had seen Lu Qingqing crying before, but she always looked delicate and weak, with her face flushed and her head lowered as she cried.

Seeing her crying and pitiful in the past would sometimes even arouse Li Xuansheng's evil taste and make him want to bully her on the spot.

However, today, he felt a sense of respect for the young woman in front of him because of her bold words.

He pulled Lu Qingqing, who was standing in front of him and was as fragile as a porcelain bottle, into his arms again.

He stroked her little head gently and murmured, "It's my fault. I... misunderstood you."

He felt extremely remorseful. He had just forgotten that Lu Qingqing had no relatives or friends in the palace. In a moment of desperation, he subconsciously treated her as one of those concubines who only sought favor for the sake of family power.

What's the point for a lonely person to covet his imperial power?

Lu Qingqing was right, he was just too narrow-minded.

Li Xuansheng had already dispelled his vigilance as an emperor. He should not have doubted Lu Qingqing's motives.

However, even if Lu Qingqing's purpose of secretly exploring the Queen Mother's secret was for his own benefit, he still had one thing on his mind.

What made him angry now was his self-esteem as a man.

Even, a little jealous.

He gently and carefully wiped away the tears for her, and every teardrop seemed to carry the endless sorrow in her heart.

The fingers were long and gentle, as if afraid of disturbing her feelings, or afraid of crushing her fragility.

Her tone returned to the gentle and soft tone she used to use to coax her.

"But Qingqing, why didn't you tell me this first, but Prince Jing?"

Lu Qingqing's mouth curled up in her heart, she knew that Li Xuansheng's anger had subsided and the situation had reversed.

Haha, it’s easy to control a man.

She pouted her rosy, gummy little lips, turned her head to the side coquettishly, and gently tapped the muscles on Li Xuansheng's chest with her pink fists.

"Humph! The Emperor is a big fool!"

After hearing this, Li Xuansheng felt angry and wanted to laugh.

Everyone said he was a wise monarch, but this was the first time someone dared to call him a fool to his face.

He deliberately played tricks on Lu Qingqing. He moved close to her ear, and circled her auricle with his sensitive and moist tongue tip, and occasionally blew gently into her ear canal.

"You are so bold that you dare to call me a fool~"

Lu Qingqing only felt a tingling sensation, which was like an electric current, starting from her tailbone, going up along her spine to the Baihui point on the top of her head, making her tremble involuntarily.

This sudden strange feeling made her heart beat faster.

She moaned, turned her body to one side, and just wanted to stay away from Li Xuansheng.

"Oh! The Emperor is doing something bad!"

"I was not the first one to tell Prince Jing. It was Prince Jing who forced me to tell him, so I had to tell him!"

Only then did Li Xuansheng realize.

He has always been wise in the court, and treats the feelings of other concubines in the harem as he treats political affairs.

But once he got to know the road clearly, he always felt vaguely at a loss.

This feeling was not obvious before I had a conflict with her.

And like today, once the two of them quarreled, this feeling would quickly break out of the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain, until it filled his entire heart.

He couldn't control it, so he just let it happen.

He wanted to grab Lu Qingqing, who was hiding aside and was angry, but just as his big hand touched the waist, he heard Lu Qingqing cry "Ouch".

“Ouch, that hurts—”

Her charming little face looked a little grim, and a thin layer of sweat appeared between her brows due to the great pain.

Li Xuansheng looked nervous.

"What's going on? Where does it hurt?"

Lu Qingqing turned aside with a wronged look on her face, her face flushed with shyness, and hesitantly lifted the dress around her waist. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyebrows knitted tightly, as if she was trying her best to endure some unspeakable pain.

I saw a shocking purple patch on the snow-white skin of the slender waist.

Seeing this, Li Xuansheng felt even more regretful. It was all his fault that he lost control and pushed her towards him, causing her to endure such pain.

He blew a few breaths of cool air gently at the bruise, trying to ease the pain of the delicate beauty, his voice low and lost.

"It's all my fault..."

Lu Qingqing's delicate little hand suddenly held his fingers.

She said in a sweet and gentle voice, "'It's okay, Your Majesty. I can just ask the Imperial Hospital for a few bottles of safflower oil to promote blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. It won't be a problem.'"

She paused, becoming more shy, and raised her bright and lively eyes to meet Li Xuansheng's gaze.

"As long as... the misunderstanding between us is resolved..."

Li Xuansheng's heart trembled, his throat rolled up and down a few times, and he felt dryness in his throat.

Then, his lips covered Lu Qingqing's, as gentle as the spring breeze, and approached her silently, as if it was a quietly blooming dream, gradually enveloping her.

A bit of indescribable tension, a bit of irresistible tenderness.

He was so confused and obsessed with lust that the study was filled with erotic scenes.
