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

The corners of Lu Lingyuan's mouth curled up slightly, with a gentle and indifferent smile, which was neither too ostentatious nor without losing its unique charm. She opened her red lips and said softly, "I think Gao Jieyu is lively and interesting. Why not let her accompany you tonight?"

When Xiao Chengji heard this, his heart was slightly shaken, and his eyes sank slightly, making it hard for people to see through him. Then he looked at her, trying to see something on her face. Not seeing the expression he wanted to see, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it.

Xiao Chengji's fingers gently stroked the embroidery on his sleeves, and every subtle movement revealed his inner struggle and anxiety.

Seeing this, Lu Lingyuan's smile remained unchanged, and she remained calm. There was no dissatisfaction or jealousy in her eyes, but instead a sense of generosity and tolerance.

The last time he summoned Qing Yunu, Xiao Chengji was like this too, his eyes full of guilt and uneasiness.

In fact, there was no need for him to do this. It was already rare that he came here specially to tell me about this respect and care.

"Or, Your Majesty can consider Liu Chongyuan." Lu Lingyuan's words sounded again, and there was more consideration in her voice, "Among the new sisters entering the palace, Liu Chongyuan has the highest status and was born in the Huaiwang Mansion. As a county lady, Your Majesty should also give her this respect."

There was always a perfect smile on Lu Lingyuan's lips, and there was no trace of emotion in that smile.

Lu Lingyuan opened her red lips slightly, smiled, and said softly: "However, who will sleep with me tonight is ultimately up to your majesty, and I dare not take the initiative." After that, she gently lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids.

Xiao Chengji's eyes were deep, and his voice rang out in the empty hall without any emotional warmth: "I'll listen to you. Let Concubine Gao sleep with me tonight!" As he spoke, the expression on his face was complicated and difficult to discern, and a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Gao Yuexi's father, the Minister of Works, was a pillar of the court. His talents were outstanding and he was highly appreciated by Xiao Chengji. Whenever he mentioned this man, Xiao Chengji's eyes would always flash with a gleam of approval.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyuan bowed slightly and said in a soft and respectful voice: "Yes, Your Majesty has not yet had your meal. I will give orders to prepare meals for Your Majesty." After she finished speaking, she slowly stood up, her sleeves fluttering, and walked out of the hall with light steps.

The moment she walked up to him, Xiao Chengji suddenly reached out and held her hand tightly.

Lu Lingyuan paused, her face changed slightly, and an indescribable emotion flashed in her eyes. She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, barely maintaining her surface calm, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Xiao Chengji stood up slowly and turned her around to face him. His eyes were deep, as if he wanted to suck her whole body into them. He raised his head slightly, his voice low and magnetic: "Yuan'er, have you ever resented me in your heart?"

This sentence, like a heavy burden, weighed on Lu Lingyuan's heart. She was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and finally turned into a sigh: "Your Majesty is the master of the world, how dare I complain..." She paused, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end she still hesitated.

"I favor others, don't you really have any jealousy or envy in your heart?" Xiao Chengji's voice became hoarse, even with a hint of pity. He had always hoped that she had him in her heart and loved him, but these days, he could not feel that she had him in her heart.

"Why do you ask this, Your Majesty? As the Empress, it is a virtue for me not to be jealous." Lu Lingyuan's eyes gradually became blurred, and a trace of sadness surged in her heart.

"Do you really think so?" Xiao Chengji grabbed her arm, and a strong sense of oppression came over her. Lu Lingyuan felt that she could hardly breathe.
