Chapter 178: Incompatibility with etiquette
She chewed and swallowed every bite of food quickly, as if these delicacies had become everything in her life at that moment.
Just when Wu Qingyue was eating heartily, suddenly, a light and hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
The sudden sound startled her, who was originally immersed in the world of gourmet food.
Xiao Tao's face turned pale instantly, and she shouted in panic: "Miss, it's not good, hurry up, it seems someone is coming!"
Wu Qingyue's heart tightened when she heard this, but the good qualities she had developed over the years still allowed her to react quickly...
Without hesitation, she put down the chopsticks she was holding tightly in her hand, lay down on the bed with a nimble movement, closed her eyes tightly, and pretended to be asleep.
At the same time, the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, followed by a brief conversation between a low and magnetic male voice and a palace maid.
"Miss Xiaotao, the emperor is here to visit the princess."
Xiao Tao was frantically hiding the remaining food on the table into the cupboard. After hearing the palace maid's announcement, her heart was in her throat.
"Wait... wait a moment, Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"
After properly hiding all the food, Xiao Tao took a deep breath, calmed herself down a little, walked quickly to the door, gently unbolted the latch, and opened the door.
"Miss Xiaotao, why do you open the door so late?" The palace maid standing at the door looked puzzled.
Xiao Tao lowered her head with a guilty conscience, her eyes dodging.
He stammered and explained, "I...I was just cleaning the house, so I was delayed for some time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After saying this, she stepped aside to make way, respectfully gestured for invitation, and said, "Your Majesty, please come in—"
Xiao Muli was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. He walked quickly into the room and came to the woman's bed. Looking at the pale and haggard face of the woman lying on the bed, his heart ached.
Little do people know that this is precisely the effect of the powder and rouge applied by women.
"You guys go out for a while, I want to talk to the Queen Aunt alone." Xiao Muli said with a gloomy face.
Xiao Tao, who was standing nearby, turned pale upon hearing this and exclaimed, "This...this is against etiquette, isn't it?"
Xiao Muli knew very well that the identities of the two of them were sensitive and special at the moment, and it was not appropriate for them to meet alone.
However, the emotions that had been suppressed deep in his heart for so long surged like a tidal wave, almost swallowing him up completely. At this moment, all the red tape and so-called etiquette and rules were insignificant to him.
Fuck the "ritual"!
Whenever he thought that she might die and be separated from him forever, he felt that the whole world had lost its color.
If that were true, why would he care about these illusory things?
"go out!"
Xiao Muli suppressed the turmoil in his heart, lowered his voice and shouted again.
His eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could penetrate people's souls.
Xiao Tao was frightened by his sudden momentum and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
But when he thought about letting them be alone here, if rumors started to spread in the palace, not only would it damage the young lady's reputation, he would also be implicated...
So, she mustered her courage and said, "Your Majesty, this is my prince's side hall, and it's also my young lady's private place. It's really not appropriate to leave you two here alone."
The woman lying on the couch pretending to be unconscious couldn't help but secretly cheer for Xiaotao when she heard her righteous words.
On the other hand, Xiao Muli obviously hadn't expected that a mere maid would dare to openly defy his will! His face instantly became extremely gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm, which made people shudder.
"Are you going?"
Another maid stared blankly at the situation before her, and she seemed to understand something...
Is it really as she thought?
God!
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she was stunned by her own thoughts!
No, no, no, that definitely can't be the case. She must be thinking too much!
After all, her princess is His Highness's aunt, how could there be that kind of relationship between them!
"Are you going out or not?" Xiao Muli was a little angry.
"I'm not going out!"
Xiao Muli hadn't expected the other party to dare to contradict him like this. He was so angry that he laughed instead: "Okay, very good! Today I finally saw what you call loyalty. But what I want to do, so far no one has been able to stop me!"
At this time, Xiao Tao was already trembling with fear all over, her legs shaking like sieves, and cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
However, even so, she still mustered up the courage to fight to the death again.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small corner of the quilt on the bed, and then a white and delicate little hand stretched out from it and waved gently towards her a few times...
That gesture clearly indicated that she should leave here quickly.
When Xiao Tao saw this, she felt as if she had been pardoned, and she felt much more relaxed in an instant.
She took a long breath and said, "I'll go out right away!"
Before she finished speaking, she turned around quickly, and ran out at lightning speed as if her feet were greased!
It was so fast that even the other palace maid standing nearby had no time to react.
"Slave, slave, I will also take my leave!"
After the palace maid finished speaking, she quickly ran out and "thoughtfully" closed the door for them.
Xiao Tao, who came out before her, saw her action and secretly cursed the palace maid as a "fool"!
The room was so quiet for a moment that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
Xiao Muli slowly walked to the bedside, looking at the person on the bed with complicated eyes. Although the woman on the bed was pale, she still couldn't hide her beauty.
He sat down, looking at the woman on the bed with sad eyes...
"Yue'er, even if I search the whole world, I will definitely find a way to cure the poison in you!"
"If you don't find it—"
"I'm just afraid I'll go crazy!"
"Yue'er, without you, Ali will never live alone!"
Wu Qingyue was shocked when she heard this!
Does this man in front of her love her so deeply?
Wu Qingyue felt mixed emotions. She had never imagined that Xiao Muli loved her so deeply.
She was about to open her mouth to tell him that she didn't deserve his love, but then she remembered that she was pretending to be asleep and gave up the idea.
"Yue'er——"
Suddenly, the man reached into the quilt and grabbed her hand!
