The little rabbit is obedient and is forcibly embraced by the villain

The imperial study was as quiet as an abyss, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Qi Chen's brows were tightly furrowed, his face was as gloomy as water, and there seemed to be cold stars twinkling in his cold eyes. The memorials on the desk were in a mess, but he had no intention of reviewing them. An aura of depression emanated from his whole body.

He kept looking towards the window frame, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Didn’t the spy just say that she was heading towards the imperial study?

Why is there still no sign of him?

As he thought about it, the air pressure around him became increasingly depressing.

The old ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, their Majesty had been wearing this cold expression for more than half a month.

Suddenly I remembered that a few days ago, the Minister of Rites, Lord Wei, mentioned: Your Majesty, it is time to select concubines to fill the harem.

Qi Chen sent him eight beauties, but Lord Wei happened to have a Hedong Lion at home. These days, when Lord Wei came to court, his face was swollen like a steamed bun, with blue and purple all over the place, and he looked very embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Li sighed.

For some reason, their Majesty's behavior has become increasingly erratic and violent in the past half month.

But everything he did was beneficial to the people. Although his methods were a bit extreme, they were effective.

This causes them to be nervous every day, careful in what they say and do, for fear that they will be the next to be stabbed.

Oh, it's so hard to live under a tyrant.

It's time for him to consider resigning and returning home.

Thinking of this, he followed His Majesty's gaze and looked out the window absentmindedly.

Outside the window, the spring scenery is beautiful and the spring breeze blows gently, blowing in through the window lattices in the imperial study.

Huh? Why do I feel a chill down my spine?

While he was distracted, he vaguely heard someone poking his arm.

He quickly came back to his senses and saw a group of old ministers looking at him, their eyes almost filled with requests for help.

He looked up, but saw his Majesty glance at him coldly. Prime Minister Li couldn't help but shudder.

Well, they’ve been pushed out to block the knife again, these old thieves!

He spat inwardly and glared at the culprits fiercely, but saw that the old thieves turned their heads around, looking up at the sky and the earth but not daring to look at him.

Well, luckily he knows how to survive.

Prime Minister Li rubbed his nose and cleared his throat. "In my opinion, although His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi wrote to the capital to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday, he has been guarding the border for a long time. His sudden request to return now may indicate ulterior motives. Recent reports from spies indicate that Grand Tutor Yu and the Prince of Qi have been in close contact. I'm afraid the two have been secretly colluding, and their intentions are sinister. Your Majesty, it would be wise to allow him to return to the capital, wait for him to arrive, and then set up a trap. Once he arrives, we can lure him into the trap and capture him in one fell swoop, eliminating any future trouble."

His voice was steady and powerful, his words were chosen carefully and his speech was sincere.

When the other old ministers heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Everyone knows that Grand Tutor Yu and His Majesty have been at odds for a long time. If it weren't for the one in Shouning Palace, His Majesty would have taken action against him long ago...

But I didn't expect that Grand Tutor Yu would be so bold and presumptuous as to...

Thinking of this, everyone looked up.

Qi Chen lowered his eyes and tapped the chopping board with his slender knuckles.

After a long while, he spoke: "This matter will be handled by Prime Minister Li and Wang Rui."

"Your Majesty, take the order."

Everyone accepted the order and left.

When Prime Minister Li came out, he sighed deeply, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and felt that he had finally escaped a disaster.

When he looked up, he saw that Eunuch Zhongshun also looked pale. His once round face seemed to have lost some weight. Prime Minister Li was curious and walked over to ask, "Eunuch Zhongshun."

When Eunuch Zhongshun saw that it was Prime Minister Li, he quickly saluted and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Li didn't exchange pleasantries and asked directly, "Your Majesty, how is it going lately?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zhongshun sighed again, shook his head helplessly, and lowered his voice: "It's still the one from Changle Palace..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Qi Chen's majestic and cold voice coming from inside the hall: "Zhongshun, get in."

Eunuch Zhongshun bowed to Prime Minister Li to express his apology, and then hurried into the hall.

Prime Minister Li looked at the fleeing figure of Eunuch Zhongshun and could not help but gently stroke his beard, sighing: "Since ancient times, heroes have always been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women."

Zhongshun entered the hall, carefully tucked his tail between his legs, stepped lightly, and spoke respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Qi Chen put down the cinnabar brush in his hand, raised his hand slightly, and rubbed his eyebrows. There seemed to be a trace of weariness between his eyebrows. "Does it take an hour to walk from Changle Palace to the Imperial Study?"

Seeing this, Zhongshun hurried to the side, picked up the tea handed to him by the eunuch behind him with both hands, and placed it gently next to Qi Chen's hand.

Although he didn't understand why, he still said truthfully: "Your Majesty, if you can walk quickly, it will only take half an hour."

Qi Chen froze while serving the tea, the image of the girl's two short white legs emerging in his mind...

Are those legs long?

Recalling that night carefully, those slender legs could barely wrap around his waist, and when he moved, those white and tender legs slid down softly...

Cough, cough, Qi Chen coughed twice unnaturally.

Zhongshun’s eyes widened.

What did he see?

His Majesty's ears turned red?

I'm afraid there is only one person who can make His Majesty happy!

Thinking of this, he cautiously probed, "Your Majesty should balance work and rest. I heard that the tribute lilies in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, and the Imperial Concubine loves them very much. She has been going to admire them whenever she has time these days. Your Majesty, would you like to go and admire them?"

Royal Garden?

To get to the Imperial Study from Changle Palace, one must indeed pass through the Imperial Garden. Could it be that he was really fascinated by the lilies?

Thinking of this, Qi Chen felt dissatisfied.

Is this lily as beautiful as him?

Qi Chen tapped the table with his fingers, slowly raised his eyes, and saw Zhongshun smiling flatteringly.

He sneered and said, "When did I ask you to arrange my itinerary?"

Eunuch Zhongshun felt his whole body tremble as if struck by lightning, and he quickly retreated in fear and trepidation.

But before he took a few steps, he heard Qi Chen's cold voice again: "It's easy to get tired in spring, so it's good to take a walk."

As he spoke, he gently lifted up the hem of his clothes, stood up, and walked out with an upright posture and steady steps.

-

The imperial garden is full of colorful flowers.

The two girls were sitting in the pavilion with a plate of osmanthus cake in front of them. They were completely immersed in their conversation, laughing and chatting happily.

Nanny Wu, Qingcui and another maid in goose yellow clothes served him, and the atmosphere was heavy.

The three of them met eyes, and a look of helplessness appeared on their faces.

Then he turned around and continued to look at the two masters who were chatting happily.

One said he was looking for His Majesty, and the other said he was looking for the Queen Mother.

Who would have thought that when the master/lady met by chance in this imperial garden, they would start chatting instantly as if they were close friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

Bai Zitu picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and said in a slurred voice, "So it wasn't Qi Chen who asked you to enter the palace?"

Qi Chen? Isn't that your Majesty's name?

Although Yu Ruyi was confused, her attention was soon attracted by the crumbs of osmanthus cake on Bai Zitu's lips.

This! People with mysophobia will definitely not tolerate it!

Thinking of this, she took out a handkerchief embroidered with exquisite patterns, leaned forward slightly, and gently helped wipe away the osmanthus cake crumbs left at the corners of Bai Zitu's mouth.

"Yes, actually I didn't want to come, but my aunt asked me to come to the palace to accompany her, so I came."

At this point, she seemed to be hesitant and deliberately lowered her voice a little, "My aunt still has her mind set on marrying me to His Majesty."

Bai Zitu paused and a piece of osmanthus cake fell onto the stone table.

Seeing Yu Ruyi's expression, she quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, no, I don't have that thought. You don't know, the last time I entered the palace, I was so frightened by his aura that my legs went weak and I couldn't stop crying. Since then, whenever I think about facing him, I feel panic in my heart."

Bai Zitu was shocked: "Ah? Are you crying?"

Although the big boss is scary, you don’t have to be scared to tears!

Yu Ruyi nodded: "So I admire you very much. I heard the palace maids and eunuchs talking privately that he is usually so moody and his methods are extremely cruel. You..."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand with a look of pity and tightly grasped Bai Zitu's hand: "You must have suffered a lot by his side. It was really hard work."

Seeing that someone finally understood his situation, Bai Zitu felt a surge of joy at having found a kindred spirit. He nodded hurriedly, "Yes! You have no idea... He's two-faced. He smiles on the surface, but he pinches and pinches me. He's really hard, and it hurts..."

Yu Ruyi widened her eyes and looked at Bai Zitu with even more sympathy.

She was about to say something when she saw a tall figure behind Bai Zitu...

Suddenly, his eyes widened in fear, and he said hurriedly, "I have to get out in a hurry. My aunt should be looking for me now. I have to leave first."

Bai Zitu looked curiously at the girl who was running faster than her rabbit and exclaimed, "She runs so fast."

"Wanwan seems to have some opinions about me..."

Suddenly, a low and magnetic voice sounded like thunder, sounding eerily in her ears.

Bai Zitu's whole body trembled violently.

No way……
