After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Lu Lingyuan slowly turned around, and a complex expression flashed in her bright eyes, showing both embarrassment and relief. She spoke softly, with some hesitation in her voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, Yang Zhaoyi is not the only one in the palace who is dissatisfied with me always occupying you. I am afraid... I am afraid that my existence will become the target of public criticism."

When Xiao Chengji heard this, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart. He held Lu Lingyuan's hand tightly, put her hand to his lips, and kissed it gently. His deep and affectionate voice echoed in the palace: "Who said that the queen occupied me? It is obvious that I am clinging to the queen and cannot leave her." His eyes were full of affection.

When Lu Lingyuan heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and her originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her mood instantly became much better.

The next moment, Lu Lingyuan gently leaned against Xiao Chengji's solid chest. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but full of affection: "Your Majesty, these years, I have been very content."

Xiao Chengji's arms were firmly around her waist, he smiled, his eyes gleaming with tenderness: "I am no different. I have no regrets in my life as long as you are by my side. Yuan'er, as long as I am here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Lu Lingyuan slowly raised her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, and gently climbed up his neck. She slowly closed her eyes, and an unprecedented trust surged in her heart. This time, she wanted to believe him once.

Xiao Chengji unconsciously tightened his hands, lowered his head, and lightly touched the hair on her forehead with his lips, then slowly slid down and finally landed on her soft lips.

Lu Lingyuan responded eagerly, and their breathing gradually became rapid, as if the whole world was left with only each other's heartbeat and breathing.

Just as Xiao Chengji was about to take a step further, Lu Lingyuan gently pushed him away. Her fingers were as delicate as scallions and gently pressed on his lips. There was a bit of coquettishness and shyness in her eyes: "No, Your Majesty."

In the depths of Xiao Chengji's eyes, the fire of desire was still burning, but a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He gently pinched her chin and kissed her again, so passionately. Then, he said in a low and magnetic voice: "See how I deal with you tonight."

When Lu Lingyuan heard this, a sly look flashed across her brows. She stared at him straight, as if challenging him or acting coquettishly. Then, she carefully straightened his collar, which was a little messy due to his excitement, and said in a gentle voice with a hint of firmness: "Okay, Your Majesty, you should return to the Purple Palace to handle state affairs. I will see you out."

Xiao Chengji squeezed her little hand reluctantly, his eyes full of reluctance.

Seeing this, Lu Lingyuan's heart softened, but she pretended to be firm and pushed him out, with a helpless smile on her lips: "Your Majesty, please go quickly, I am not really angry."

Xiao Chengji laughed heartily, and before leaving, he gently pinched her cheek again, his voice low and full of magnetism: "Of course I know what you are thinking, but the way you occasionally act a little bit temperamental makes me like you even more."

Lu Lingyuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she was secretly surprised. She thought her disguise was clever enough, but unexpectedly, all her emotional changes were already visible in Xiao Chengji's eyes. She lowered her head shyly, but couldn't help but curl up a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Yang Zhaoyi has resentment in her heart, and I can understand that. So, confining her to her home for a month is just a small punishment and a stern warning. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Lu Lingyuan spoke again. It is not easy for the women in the palace, so there is no need to make things difficult for each other.

Xiao Chengji knew her concerns and did not object. "Okay, I'll listen to you. You are the one who makes the decision on matters concerning the harem."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Lingyuan smiled.

After seeing Xiao Chengji off, Lu Lingyuan looked very relaxed. Yun'er smiled and said, "The relationship between the Queen and His Majesty is really getting better and better."

Lu Lingyuan smiled without saying anything, with a happy look on her face.
