Quick Wear: After I captured the hero, I ran away with the ball

Chapter 376: The Imperial Concubine Is a Beauty That Brings Disaster (24)

Chi Yue was almost teased by her, but she was still a little naive compared to her. She looked at Li Ji with a little surprise: "When did your majesty take in a new person? You didn't even let me meet her. Now there is a misunderstanding."

There was still a hint of crying in her voice. She looked at Li Ji, holding back her tears. Just when the tears were about to fall, she turned her head away, allowing Li Ji to see only her stubborn and strong profile.

Her appearance is unique in the harem, and this angle just shows her strong yet fragile side.

Li Ji's heart was instantly gripped, and he felt a little regretful: "Gu Zhaorong just entered the palace two days ago, and I didn't have time to tell you."

Seeing that Li Ji was only busy explaining to Chi Yue, Gu Zhaorong secretly crumpled up a handkerchief. She had fallen in love with His Majesty at first sight, and begged His Majesty for a long time before he finally let her into the palace.

She originally thought that it was her sincerity that moved His Majesty. It turned out that she lost so badly when she met the Imperial Concubine. It was obvious that His Majesty had been kind to her in the past two days.

Chi Yue won the first round and was very proud of herself. He Shu's face became even gloomier when he saw how happy she was.

"If you like these peonies, I'll send them all to your palace."

After hearing this, Chi Yue looked at him happily and said, "I thank the Queen, Bi Xiao, and will take all the peonies back with me."

Gu Zhaorong stared at He Shu with her eyes wide open. No one except the Queen was allowed to use the peony, but the Queen gave it to the Imperial Concubine so easily. Wasn't it wishful thinking for her to sow discord between the two?

"Keep looking forward." He Shu really didn't want to see Chi Yue following behind Li Ji. He would rather she pay attention to those flowers.

As soon as they moved, they heard Lu Xiurong's scream. Chi Yue turned around and saw chaos behind her. A large pool of blood quickly formed on the ground.

Chi Yue couldn't help but retching as soon as she smelled the blood. He Shu hurriedly supported her and said sternly, "What are you still standing there for? Go get the imperial physician and send Lu Xiurong to the nearest palace."

Li Ji was about to reach out to support Chi Yue when he was scared away by He Shu's eyes: "Something happened to Lu Xiurong, Your Majesty should go over and take a look, I am here for you."

Li Ji saw the warning in his eyes and had to grit his teeth and retract his hand: "Yue'er, are you okay?"

Chi Yue's face turned pale and she shook her hands: "I'm fine, I just saw the blood suddenly and was frightened for a moment."

Then she said sensibly and considerately: "Lu Xiurong has lost so much blood, Your Majesty should go and see her quickly, I am fine."

She was so considerate that Li Ji felt distressed: "Take a good rest."

As soon as Li Ji left, He Shu picked her up. Chi Yue was shocked and cried out, "Empress, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

He Shu hugged her tightly: "If you scream again, if they see you..."

Chi Yue looked at him with sparks in her eyes. This was a naked threat, but she really didn't say anything else. After all, she didn't want to break up her relationship with He Shu yet.

Holding the person he thought about day and night in his arms, He Shu was in a very good mood at the moment. He wished that the walk to Xingyue Palace would take a little longer so that he could hold her longer.

However, the person in his arms obviously didn't think so. As soon as they arrived at Xingyue Palace, she broke free from his arms and said, "Thank you, Queen, for sending me back."

She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the deep love in He Shu's eyes. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and say everything.

Every time He Shu took a step forward, she took a step back. Before she knew it, she had no way to retreat. She could only lean against the city wall, feeling the man's powerful oppression.

"Your Majesty..." she reminded.

But He Shu seemed not to notice this. The intimacy between her and Li Ji today had completely destroyed his consciousness. He desperately wanted to tell her everything and wanted her to have him in her heart.

"Ayue, if I say that I never wanted the position of queen, would you believe it?" His voice was suppressed to the extreme. After so many years of cross-dressing as a woman, he no longer had any enthusiasm for life.

Only when he saw her did his heart beat. He didn't need to bear the responsibility of his country and family, and he didn't need to live for the He family.

Chi Yue pressed against the wall behind him: "I believe it."

He Shu's heart began to beat again, and he couldn't wait to speak: "If I take you away from the palace, would you be willing?"

As long as she is willing, it means that she has her own heart, or in other words, Li Ji is not that important in her heart.

Chi Yue's palms were already soaked with sweat. She tilted her head slightly and said, "Yes."

"If I were not a woman, would you be willing to..."

Before he could finish his words, a cat jumped down from the city wall. Just as He Shu was about to pull Chi Yue away, the cat jumped into Chi Yue's arms.

Chi Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and stroked the cat's soft fur: "Li Zi, why did you sneak out?"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at He Shu. She could guess that if Li Zi hadn't suddenly appeared, He Shu would probably have a showdown with her.

He Shu was very anxious and wanted to say something else, but the palace maids had already followed him, so he had to hold back his words.

If I were not a woman, would you marry me?

He finally mustered up the courage, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even have the chance to say it.

"Your Majesty, Queen." Bixiao bowed, then leaned over and whispered something in Chi Yue's ear.

He Shu saw Chi Yue's expression change, looked at him and said, "I'm sorry to bother you today, Queen. I have something else to do, so I won't keep you here."

"Ayue..." He Shu looked at her back and called out in panic.

The woman turned slightly to look at him, a pearl hairpin swaying in the wind, the wind blowing through the loose hair on her forehead, the cat lying lazily in her arms, calling out to him.

Chi Yue touched the cat in a reproachful manner and scolded, "This is the Queen. You must not be disrespectful to her in the future. Do you understand?"

She raised her head and looked at He Shu: "Do you have anything else to say to me?"

Looking at the charming face of the woman, all the words of He Shu were stuck in his throat, and he could only force out a smile: "You were scared today, take a good rest, and you don't need to pay respects these days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chi Yue watched He Shu turn around, then slowly walked into the inner hall and stuffed the chestnuts to Bi Xiao. She had been feeling weak recently, and she ran out of strength after just holding him for a short while.

"What did my father say?" Chi Yue looked solemn, wondering how much confidence she would have if the Chi family refused to help.

Bixiao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chi Yue respectfully. Chi Yue took the letter with trembling hands and slowly opened the envelope.
