Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

"Empress." Yun'er looked at Xu Meir with some concern.

Everyone in the palace knew about this, but the people in Qinyan Palace consciously kept it a secret from the Empress. Yun'er was worried that her young lady would be sad, so she also kept it a secret.

Now that it had been revealed by these two little girls, Yun'er felt resentful.

"Yes, I heard that the adults of the previous dynasty have mentioned it many times, but His Majesty has refused before. He might refuse this time too." said another little palace maid.

"No," the maid who spoke at the beginning retorted, "Your Majesty has met the Empress Dowager's niece many times in the past few days. I think that person is probably the future Empress Dowager."

"Oh my God," the little maid sighed, "then won't we be..."

After hearing this, Xu Meir no longer had the heart to listen. Her eyes darkened a little, and then she turned and left.

At this time, Lu Yuhuai was in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager was eating snacks with a smile on her face. Next to her sat a pretty girl. The girl smiled shyly and glanced at the handsome man opposite from her from time to time.

Lu Yuhuai picked up the teacup and took a sip. The impatience in his eyes had reached its peak. These days, the empress dowager often asked him to go to the Cining Palace with various excuses, and every time, the so-called niece of the empress dowager was there.

Lu Yuhuai knew what the Queen Mother meant. He just thought it was ridiculous. What right did this person have to interfere in his affairs? If he couldn't touch her at the moment, he would never tolerate her appearing in front of him.

After all, she was the murderer of his mother, but she seemed to have forgotten that.

But it doesn't matter, in a month she will lose everything she has now.

"Mother, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." Lu Yuhuai put down the teacup and turned to leave without waiting for the empress dowager to recover.

"You!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she could hardly control herself and wanted to curse as usual, but she held back in front of her niece.

This rebellious son has become more and more unruly since he took that position. Does he really think she can't do anything to him?

The girl beside her turned a little paler and her eyes turned red because of the emperor's unconcealed attitude. A trace of impatience flashed in the empress dowager's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she began to comfort her.

After Lu Yuhuai walked out of the Cining Palace, he planned to wash up. In fact, every time he went to the Cining Palace, he would wash up before meeting Xu Meir. The fragrance of the empress dowager's niece was too strong and he didn't like it when he smelled it.

Mei'er is still better. The fragrance on her body is always very light, which makes him feel comfortable and fascinated.

At this time, a eunuch came over in a hurry and saluted Lu Yuhuai: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?" Lu Yuhuai was interrupted and frowned slightly.

The eunuch took a step forward and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, the one in Qinyan Palace knows about your selection of concubines."

Lu Yuhuai's expression changed, and he looked a little flustered: "Nonsense, when will I..."

Before he could finish his words, he hurried towards Qinyan Palace, followed by his attendants.

In a hurry, Lu Yuhuai almost went to Qinyan Palace through the main gate. It was the new eunuch chief Gao Xin who reminded him that allowed him to go through the secret door.

In Qinyan Palace, Lu Yuhuai saw Yun'er first. Before Yun'er greeted him, he asked, "No need to be polite. Where is your queen now? How is she feeling?"

Yun'er replied, "The Madam is in the bedroom now, and it would not be good to not let the servants in to serve her."

Lu Yuhuai went to the bedroom. He waved his hand and the people behind him left, leaving him alone standing at the door.

For some reason, he suddenly felt like retreating, but he eventually knocked on the door: "Mei'er, it's me."

"Come in." The person inside the door spoke in a light voice, just like usual. Lu Yuhuai breathed a sigh of relief.

He pushed the door open, then turned around and closed it. She was sitting in front of the dressing mirror taking off her jewelry, and when she saw him coming, she turned around to look at him.

"Mei'er," his voice was inexplicably dry, "Let me help you."

"No need," she took off her hair accessories, leaving only a simple white jade hairpin, "I've already done it."

"Oh." Lu Yuhuai responded, not knowing what to say. He secretly observed her expression. She looked calm and nothing could be seen.

"Mei'er, you have to have your meal." He said again after a while.

"I've already used it." Xu Meir replied.

Lu Yuhuai was slightly stunned. He felt her cold attitude. In the past, when he came back, she would often come closer to him and smile at him even if she didn't hug him. But now, all of that is gone.

"Mei'er, have you heard..." Lu Yuhuai explained anxiously.

"What did you hear? I heard that you were going to participate in a beauty contest? I heard that you went to see the Queen Mother's niece every day?" Xu Meir's tone was calm.

"Mei'er," Lu Yuhuai stepped forward and grabbed Xu Mei'er's hand, "You have to believe me, you are the only one in my heart!"

Xu Meir ignored his almost pleading look and twisted his fingers one by one: "But you did go to see her," she said with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "After all, the smell on your body is so obvious."

Lu Yuhuai's pupils shrank slightly: "Mei'er, the Queen Mother asked me to go and pay my respects to her. You know, I can't confront the Queen Mother directly at the moment. In one month, no, seven days, I won't have to worry about her anymore!"

"I never got close to her niece, and I don't like her. I only like you!" His dark jade eyes were stained with layers of sadness, "Don't be angry with me."

He tried to hold her hand, but was afraid that she would be angry, so he didn't dare to get closer.

Xu Meir looked up at him, her clear, bright eyes tinged with darkness like the night: "You said you were mine, did you do it? Did you do it that you couldn't look at other women except me?"

"I want someone who belongs to me completely. If you can't do that," she forced a smile, her eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, "why don't you just die?"

"Don't be afraid. I won't live alone then. We can be together forever without anyone else."

It was the first time that Lu Yuhuai saw Xu Meir like this. He was shocked, but soon a sweet feeling welled up in his heart. It turned out that she cared about him so much.

[Darkness value -2, current darkness value is 6]

Lu Yuhuai's eyes were as bright as stars, and tenderness overflowed from them: "It's yours, and only belongs to you."

She came closer to him, her black gemstone eyes shone with a chilling light that captivated people: "But I don't believe it anymore."

Lu Yuhuai felt sweet but also a little helpless: "Then how can you believe it?"

She grabbed his hand, gradually increasing her strength: "Unless you prove it to me."

"Okay," he said without hesitation, "How do you prove it?"

Xu Meir took his hand and walked to the bed. He cooperated with her movements, and when she stopped, he looked at her with some confusion.

Xu Meir let go of his hand and pushed him forward with force. He was not paying attention and was pushed down by her. He looked at her in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

"Mei'er, what's wrong with you?" he asked, pretending to get up.

"Snapped!"

She put her hand on his chest to stop him: "Don't move."

"Mei'er?" He looked at her with his dark, bright eyes.

"Heh~" Xu Meir raised the corner of her mouth, her eyes as clear as blue waves, with a cold yet wanton smile.

She straddled the bed and held down his hands. He was stunned and subconsciously wanted to resist, but the force on her hands suddenly increased.

Lu Yuhuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stop it."
