I have a crush on that guy again

Fortunately for Xu Qingzhi, Quan Jiuqing did not appear unexpectedly this time.

Turning his head again, Xu Qingzhi's momentum seemed to be a little stronger.

He raised his head and raised his eyebrows, and asked aggressively, "I won't raise it, so tell me how you got pregnant by yourself, huh?"

Is this asexual reproduction?

Concubine Tao's face was as pale as paper, and she couldn't argue with what Xu Qingzhi said.

With lips pursed, the woman kneeling on the ground said lifelessly, "Concubine..."

"The concubine is sorry for the emperor..."

"Willing to be punished."

To be willing to be punished is to be willing to die.

For the crimes of adultery and deceiving the emperor, any of the crimes can make Concubine Tao die once.

Xu Qingzhi said, "I just want you to tell who that person is."

He hadn't figured out the ins and outs of the matter, so he definitely wouldn't hastily stab Concubine Tao to death.

At least you have to know the whole situation before making a decision.

Concubine Tao didn't even have the slightest hesitation in her eyes. Her thin body knelt on the ground, but she was as firm as a rock, she would rather die than let go of who that person was.Just said, "The concubine also asks the emperor to punish..."

Xu Qingzhi snorted lightly, "You are protecting that man infatuatedly, and you don't know if that man is worth your death..."

"Besides, you are not afraid of death, but if you don't think about it, the child in your belly will die with you. Do you just bear it?"

Hearing Xu Qingzhi's words, the woman's figure shook slightly.

For a moment, Concubine Tao's face showed signs of looseness.

But it was only for a moment, and Concubine Tao still returned to her stable appearance, she didn't say a word, kept silent, silently waiting for the death penalty that Xu Qingzhi would say at any time.

Seeing the strong look of the woman, Xu Qingzhi felt that he was the villain who broke up other people's marriages.

"I'll say it again, I don't want your life, I just want you to tell who the man behind the scenes is."

"If the truth is extenuating, maybe I will let you live for the sake of an epic love..."

When Xu Qingzhi spoke, there was a touch of sincerity in his majesty, and he looked at Concubine Tao, "But if you insist on hiding it from me, for the sake of the king's prestige, even if I want to give you a way out, it won't be justified."

Until the end, Concubine Tao didn't tell the man behind her or the truth.

However, Xu Qingzhi was not in a hurry to ask the crime. After all, the child in Concubine Tao's stomach was only three or four months old, so it wouldn't pop out suddenly.

"During the time before the child was born, Concubine Tao thought about it carefully."

After Xu Qingzhi finished speaking, he just glanced at Concubine Tao before turning around and leaving.

Seeing the bright yellow figure gradually go away, Concubine Tao's frail body sat down on the ground in an instant, as if all her strength had been sucked away.

She touched the cold ground weakly, her face pale.

she……

Can you trust the emperor?

If the truth is told...will the emperor really take pity on them and be willing to let them live?

After a while, the woman lowered her head, shook her head in despair, and muttered to herself, "Impossible, impossible..."

No man can bear his own woman pregnant with someone else's child, especially that man is still the Ninety-Five Supreme, the emperor aloof.

"A Xing."

A familiar voice sounded in the sleeping hall, and this voice made Concubine Tao, who was in grief, suddenly froze.

At some point, a black figure appeared like a ghost, silently, no one knew when he came and how long he stood there.

Concubine Tao looked towards the voice in astonishment and worry. The moment she saw the man standing by the window, the tears she had held back for a long time suddenly burst into tears as if a bank had burst.

"Brother Hai, why are you here now..."

Zhao Hai frowned, and explained with great distress, "I heard that the emperor came to see you alone, and I couldn't let it go, so I just wanted to see you."

As soon as he finished explaining, Concubine Tao seemed to have come to her senses, thinking of something, she walked up to Zhao Hai in a panic, stretched out her hand and pushed, "Get out quickly!!"

"The emperor already knows that the child in my womb is not his, you are in danger now, you have to leave quickly..."

What if the emperor has sent someone to watch her, what if Zhao Hai is seen by others...

Concubine Tao became even more flustered thinking of this, tears glistened in her eyes, she only wanted to drive Zhao Hai away.She doesn't want to drag the man down, the farther away Zhao Hai is from her, the better.

"A Xing!"

Zhao Hai grabbed the woman and pushed his hands, interrupting the other person's words, helpless, distressed, angry, mixed emotions, finally converged into an unshakable determination.

His eyes were scarlet, and his voice was hoarse, "I am a man, you are my woman, and you are my child in your stomach!" He should be standing in front of his lover, not watching the woman and his child die in front of his eyes. at present.

"It's already this time, listen to me one by one"

Zhao Hai held Concubine Tao's hand, stared at her closely, and said in a determined tone, "I will tell the emperor, just say that I forced you, and that it was I who committed the following crimes and defiled you..."

"You are the emperor's favorite concubine, you plead with the emperor... I will also plead with His Royal Highness the regent, the regent has always taken a fancy to me, even if it is a capital crime, I will definitely save you..."

"Only in this way can you and the baby in your stomach be intact."

When the man finished speaking, Concubine Tao's eyes were already red from crying, she shook her head in resistance, her voice choked up, "I can't... I don't want to do this..."

She doesn't want Zhao to be horrified to death.

"Zhao Hai, if I die, I will die. If I live, I will be trapped in this deep palace. I am doomed to not have a name with you for the rest of my life. But Brother Hai, you are different. You are the leader of the imperial guards. Your future Wuliang, you can still marry a wife and have children..."

Things seem to have reached the point of life and death.

But neither of them obviously considered that the emperor might let them go. After all, no matter how you look at it, with such a serious crime, it is impossible for the high-ranking emperor to allow others to tarnish his dignity.

Zhao Hai, a man with strong bones, is also in this difficult situation of life and death with tears in his eyes. He stared blankly at the woman in front of him, and suddenly smiled wryly.

That's right, if he dies, even if Ah Xing lives...

But how does Ah Xing face the rest of his life trapped in the deep palace and alone.

For Ah Xing, the long and lonely rest of his life may be more painful than death.

Zhao Hai slowly embraced the tearful woman, and said sadly, "A Xing... I will accompany you when you go up to the poor and down to the underworld."

"If you insist on protecting me, it's impossible for me to live alone. You said that I have a bright future, but without you, what's the use of my future."

"That's it, A Xing, we can't have a name in life, and we can't be together in an open and aboveboard... Then we will die together. After we die, maybe in the underworld, I can still marry you."

After the man finished speaking, Concubine Tao threw herself into Zhao Hai's arms, weeping and laughing at the same time, and replied in tears, "Okay... I will listen to you, as long as you are here, I will not be afraid..."

outside the window.

The young emperor wearing a dragon robe was lying on the top of the wall with a gossip face, holding the window with one hand, and propping the other on the wall, with both legs bent and kicking low.

The appearance and posture are not wretched.

And just behind Xu Qingzhi, there were two other people standing.

One is He Yu and the other is Quan Jiuqing.

He Yu was ordered by Xu Qingzhi to follow from the beginning.

As for Quan Jiuqing, after guessing about Concubine Tao, he wanted to interrogate Concubine Tao in person.

In the current situation, naturally, before Quan Jiuqing had time to interrogate Concubine Tao, he bumped into Xu Qingzhi who came out of Concubine Tao's bedroom.

Xu Qingzhi guessed that the "adulter" behind Concubine Tao would probably show up after he left, so he deliberately went back and forth, hiding on the wall to eavesdrop and peep.

Not only that, but Quan Jiuqing was also involved.

Quan Jiuqing frowned, looked at the man lying on the wall with distaste, and sighed that this man really didn't care about his image... I'm afraid he was sticking to the wall of Qiwu Palace like this last time, eavesdropping on him.

Although it seemed disgusting, He Yu, who had been with Quan Jiuqing for many years, could tell that in the way Quan Jiuqing looked at Xu Qingzhi, the disgust was superficial, and more of it was pampering.

If it wasn't for pampering, how could the regent do such a depreciating thing like hiding behind the wall and eavesdropping.

And...the Prince Regent was very happy to pay back the "drop price", and he didn't seem to be impatient.

For the Prince Regent who has liked the Emperor for so many years, as long as he can be with the Emperor, he will feel happy in whatever he does...

"I'm going to kiss..."

Xu Qingzhi called out in a low voice, he turned his head, and there was still a hint of excitement floating on his face.

Seeing Quan Jiuqing standing aside indifferently, Xu Qingzhi reached out, grabbed the man's wrist, and pulled Quan Jiuqing to her side.

"You should stand closer and look!"

He himself is not gossip, what he wants most is to let Quan Jiuqing know the truth, so that Quan Jiuqing can know that Concubine Tao's child is not his.

But for some reason, Quan Jiuqing didn't look shocked at all.

The man's purple and elegant figure remained motionless, Quan Jiuqing lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Xu Qingzhi's hands that were holding him tightly.

Quan Jiuqing's eyes were slightly startled.

He pursed his thin lips, and moved his eyes to Xu Qingzhi's delicate face, obviously excited and nervous.

The thin lips hooked involuntarily.

When Xu Qingzhi was guarding that the two people inside could kiss each other, he was suddenly hugged by a force around his waist.

Inexplicably, Quan Jiuqing hugged his waist at this moment!

Frowning, Xu Qingzhi's eyes widened, "Why are you hugging me?!"

Before, Zhao Hai was so focused on Concubine Tao that he didn't notice at all that the conversations between himself and his beloved were all overheard by others.

But now, Xu Qingzhi's voice was not too big, but it was not too small.

Zhao Hai heard clearly in an instant.

Not only that, Zhao Hai also heard that it was the voice of the emperor.

—In an instant, Zhao Hai's face became tense, he looked towards the window, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty?"

Concubine Tao frowned, as if she was facing an enemy, she held Zhao Hai's hand and looked out the window tightly.

But at this moment, neither Zhao Hai nor Concubine Tao saw Xu Qingzhi's figure, but saw Quan Jiuqing standing outside the window.

Xu Qingzhi squatted under the window.

He glanced at Quan Jiuqing beside him who didn't even hide for a moment, smiled gloatingly, and whispered, "Is the regent embarrassing?" Quan Jiuqing lowered his head and looked at the the Son of Heaven.

After a while, he reached out and twisted Xu Qingzhi who was on the ground.

Get in front of yourself.

"The emperor insists on dragging me to spy on you."
