"Rise!"
Long Yue said calmly, amidst envious gazes, as she slowly stepped into the Emperor’s room.
This place was a station not far from the Imperial Palace, specially used as a resting point for the Emperor during travels.
Li Qingmu’s voice still hadn’t recovered, making Rong Si reluctant to return to the palace, because returning ant going to court, going to court... How could an Emperor who is mute hold court?
Although she listened behind the curtain in governance, many decisions were handled by Li Qingmu, if she had to converse with the ministers from now on, what would it look like?
This is why, despite the serious assassination attempt on the Emperor, the hunt still proceeded as planned.
Rong Si was buying ti, hoping to wait until Li Qingmu’s voice recovered before going back.
But as the hunt concluded as scheduled, Li Qingmu still hadn’t recovered, yet the entourage had to return, after all, court affairs could not be neglected.
Rong Si was anxious, even if she found the Imperial Physician’s thod absurd, she had to try it.
After Long Yue entered, the palace maids and eunuchs all retreated, and then consciously closed the door.
The man lay quietly on the bed, resting his chin in his hand, with his eyes lightly closed, he indeed had features as exquisite as a painting.
The commotion had disturbed his rest just now, and upon hearing soone enter, he slowly opened his eyes.
The pitch-black eyes flashed a glimr of sharpness, but upon realizing who had entered, the sharpness turned into tenderness.
Long Yue had walked the edge of life and death, and his heart had wandered with her. By rights, seeing her should have made Li Qingmu breathe heavily with excitent, but perhaps due to the ti apart, or having heard from Zhang Liulang that she was alive and well for a while, the excitent was well hidden.
He couldn’t show too much excitent, the calr he was at such a ti, the better.
He slowly got up and opened his arms.
Long Yue’s eyes reddened, and rushed towards him.
The force was too strong, and they both tumbled onto the bed.
Long Yue looked at the man she had pinned down, her voice choked, gently murmuring, "Fool, what’s wrong with you, speak to ?"
Li Qingmu shook his head lightly.
Long Yue got anxious, she thought this man should be able to speak, and that he was pretending not to be able to speak just to save her.
But now that she was here, he should speak to her, shouldn’t he?
Yet, he didn’t!
The man only reached out to gently caress her delicate body, stimulating her senses, and then spent a tender night with her.
Long Yue was unwilling, she cupped the man’s face and firmly said: "Your Majesty, speak, speak to ! What’s truly wrong with you? You’re the Emperor, you can’t beco mute, you can’t!"
Li Qingmu’s gaze slightly shifted as if thinking about sothing, but still had no intention of speaking.
Long Yue was anxious, could it be she was mistaken, and he truly couldn’t speak?
She pondered for a mont, then said: "Let examine you!"
This ti Li Qingmu was baffled: what did she want to see?
Long Yue flipped over and reached for Li Qingmu’s wrist.
He didn’t dodge, just allowing Long Yue to touch and feel his body.
After a while, Long Yue’s face wrinkled in frustration.
The pulse was sowhat irregular, yet it couldn’t be understood why, what was going on?
She thoughtfully observed, seeing a sly glint flash in the man’s eyes.
Long Yue recalled that the man had martial arts skills superior to hers, was he deliberately preventing her from diagnosing him?
She was furious, and went on to give him a hard punch.
"Ugh..."
He let out a muffled groan, clutching his chest, a face full of agony.
It hurt!
"Pretending, you’re just pretending!"
Long Yue was so angry she couldn’t speak, this man was still exactly the sa as before, sneakily an, always digging pits for her to fall into, truly unbearable!
However, after such an ordeal, Long Yue cald down.
He probably was alright, just temporarily unwilling to speak.
But why didn’t he want to speak?
Long Yue looked into his eyes, the man blinked, looking innocent.
This appearance, truly annoying!
Long Yue was too angry to speak, hurriedly pulled herself away, and tidied up her clothes.
Seeing the little woman run off, Li Qingmu felt empty inside, with a face full of disappointnt.
Long Yue turned back, noticing the man’s lost and forlorn look, especially those innocent eyes, sohow, her heart softened.
Even knowing this man was pretending, she was still captivated, unable to bear his suffering.
Long Yue sighed softly, turned back into his arms.
Li Qingmu’s gaze shifted slightly, filled with amusent.
Little woman, you can’t escape!
Next, Li Qingmu temporarily stayed at this station, Long Yue accompanying him daily, fulfilling her duties as a wife.
However, after three or four days, Li Qingmu still couldn’t speak, and this worried Rong Si to no end, the Empress Nianxi even personally ca.
Her feelings toward Li Qingmu were very complex.
She liked Li Qingmu, sincerely liked him, but she also hated him, because he wouldn’t give her love, even the most primitive love between n and won.
So for Nianxi, it was unattainable.
She was in great pain.
When she saw Long Yue leaning by Li Qingmu’s side, diligently handling state affairs, an endless fury surged in her heart!
Her mind was completely consud by hatred and resentnt, she suddenly rushed forward, overturning the desk, scattering morials and ink brushes all over the place.
"Empress, you’re out of line!"
Long Yue abruptly stood up, looking at her with hostility.
She was a concubine, whereas Nianxi was the Empress, usually rank outweighs one another, Long Yue shouldn’t speak to the Empress this way.
But she was fortunate enough to have the Emperor by her side!
Nianxi overturned not her desk, but the Emperor’s!
The desk used by the Emperor for handling affairs, full of docunts, what she did was a disrespect to royal authority!
At this mont, Long Yue had to stand up, not only for her own dignity but also for the Emperor’s, imagine a weak concubine trying to manage others?
The Princess was a strong person, others would be weak in front of her, but what about towards others?
If you are too weak, she will look down on you.
Long Yue’s stern shout imdiately startled the palace maids and eunuchs, so rolled their eyes, quietly retreating to report to Rong Si.
So held their emotions, watching the drama unfold.
Previously, Zhi Jin and Nianxi also had disputes, but there wasn’t much comparison, Zhi Jin was a servant, her status evident, how could she compare with the Empress?
But now things were different.
The Empress who had been ignored by the Emperor for so long, versus the newly favored Ming Fei, who risked her life to save the Emperor, watching them fight, it was entertaining!
The palace maids watched the spectacle eagerly, each hoping the two would fight to the death, anwhile, Rong Si also learned of the news, but she didn’t rush over.
When two tigers fight, one will be injured!
She wanted to see the true worth of this Ming Fei!
Since even the State Preceptor was used to save her, it couldn’t be in vain.
Nianxi’s act of overturning the imperial desk was indeed an act of power bullying the master, then how would this Ming Fei respond?
