The footsteps stopped when they reached the last curtain.

I waited for a long time but didn't hear any movement. I was a little puzzled and more nervous.

My clothes fell by the bed, he must have seen it, so why is it like this...?

Just as I was guessing wildly, a magnetic and familiar voice sounded, with a hint of sexual taste.

"If the beauty is like this, why don't you fall into your arms early?"

I let go of my heart, smiled slightly, poked my head out, and kowtowed at his feet.

"Pengmen is repeated, and now it is opened for the king." ①

"You're really here." Li Zhenrui said in a calm tone, neither happy nor angry.

"Your Majesty, would you like to see me?" I smiled at him like an old friend I haven't seen for many years.

"Not everyone can lie on my dragon bed." There was a trace of majesty in his light tone.

"Does Your Majesty think Ling Xi has the qualifications?" I asked with a smile.

"I forgot to say one thing last time." There was a smile on the corner of his lips.

"What's the matter?" I asked curiously.

"Zhen—I'm not good at Longyang." The four words lightly crossed his sexy thin lips, but there was a thunder in my ears, which shocked me to stand on the spot, not knowing how to deal with it.

After the cardiac arrest, there was a more violent beating than before. The nervousness in my calmness revealed my panic at the moment. Choosing a waiter...isn't it a display?"

The emperor chuckled casually, "Isn't it possible?"

My mind exploded, thinking that my posture today is not a joke to Li Zhenrui?

Why have I never heard Cui Minglang mention it, nor have I heard a single word from other people... Yes, the king's secret, how can others know it, who dares to publicize it?

I looked down at myself who was barely naked, my face was burning hot, I quickly lowered my head and fell at his feet, "Ling Xi made a mistake, but it's up to His Majesty."

"Of course I won't let you off easily. But what I'm more curious about is who is behind you?"

His words made me tremble slightly, and I missed one thing after all my calculations: the king's suspicion.

"Everything is Weichen's idea, this matter has nothing to do with my father."

"I expected that Xie Kang would not have the guts." The emperor sneered.

I collected my mind and said calmly, "Since the emperor is curious about this minister, he must have found nothing in the investigation. This should be enough to prove the loyalty of this minister."

"If you are really so loyal, why are you doing everything you can to climb onto my dragon bed after being unknown for the past three years?"

I said aggrievedly, "My father's position is low, and Ling Xi's people speak lightly. There are many male concubines in the harem, and Ling Xi is not outstanding, so he took the risk to compete for favor."

"I like to hear useful words, not nonsense. You'd better think clearly before answering." Li Zhenrui frowned, his tone indifferent and tough.

I restrained my expression and said respectfully, "It was not Ling Xi's wish to enter the palace. I wanted to just spend the rest of my life in the palace in silence. I didn't want to be involved in a disaster for some reason, so I had to take risks."

"It seems that this disaster is not simple." Li Zhenrui was thoughtful.

I nodded, "Indeed, Ling Xi can't avoid it, so he can only face it."

He looked into my eyes carefully, and after confirming that there was no deception, he said, "Do you want me to help you?"

I shook my head, and only smiled at him, "No, I want the emperor to spoil me."

Li Zhenrui raised his eyebrows, "Give me a reason."

I lightly parted my lips, "It's just because the emperor saw the humble minister here today."

He lifts my jaw and I lift my head to meet his examining eyes.

"But I—I don't like to lose."

He still remembers our bet, whether he wins or loses is in his mind.

I couldn't help chuckling and said, "Then how does His Majesty plan to deal with this humble minister?"

"You?" Li Zhenrui paced a few steps, "You dare to break into the Palace of Longevity today, you should know the consequences.

"Yes." I lowered my head, my heart sank involuntarily, "I ask the emperor to give me a punishment, I will never complain."

I have made all kinds of preparations before I came, and I am not unable to bear all kinds of things today.

Afraid of hurting others, I couldn't help explaining, "But please forgive others. The guards had to let me go because the minister held the emperor's dragon and phoenix."

Li Zhenrui only said indifferently, "If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no need to explain the reason."

"What the emperor said is that the emperor is a wise king, so he handles things naturally and fairly. The humble ministers only want to punish them lightly, so they will not dare to be careless again."

Li Zhenrui glanced at me, "You can't protect yourself, and you still speak for them."

"Everything happened because of my minister, please punish me severely." I knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to him.

"According to the laws of the Great Xia, concubines who violate etiquette and trespass into the Palace of Longevity will be punished with death." Li Zhenrui said calmly.

"I am willing to accept it." I replied without hesitation.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Li Zhenrui asked.

"I'm afraid, but when I come here today, I'm ready to die." I smiled at him in relief.

It looks like I lost, but I can afford to lose.

"How easy it is to die, but the hardest thing is to live." Li Zhenrui raised his head, his eyes flashed with deep thought, "If you want to die easily, I won't allow it."

There was a hint of indifference in his smile, "I want to see more interesting things."

"Come here, Mr. Xigui trespassed in the Palace of Longevity. You will be punished with a staff of twenty, and you will be fined for half a year. Unless I summon you, you will never leave the Nanshan Pavilion."

In just a few words, there was a huge change, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

I bent down, suddenly realized what he said, raised my head in astonishment and said, "Xi... Xigui Jun? Nanshan Pavilion?"

"With your appearance and courage, you are worthy of my noble lord." His slender fingers stroked my cheek, and his warm words made me lose my mind for a moment.

"It's just that I'm afraid I'll let down your affection."

Fingers brushed gently across my back, as if a series of electric currents caused me to tremble slightly, I blushed, not understanding why my body was so sensitive.

When he came back to his senses, he had already left me a few steps, and his calm tone suppressed his anger, "As for the others... your errands are really getting better and better, so many people still can't see a male concubine? What if you come another day? An assassin, do you still want me to offer my head?"

Everyone knelt on the ground in fear, and even said, "Slaves (servants) deserve death."

Li Zhenrui snorted coldly, "Huo Qing is at a disadvantage in his errands, he will be punished for sixty years, and he will be fined for half a year; Dieyi Diewu will be reduced to a maidservant, and bestowed on Mr. Xi."

"I don't need useless slaves by my side."

At this moment, seeing the eunuchs, guards and maidservants kneeling on the ground in the dark in front of the imperial court, all of them were silent, their faces turned pale with fright, I really realized the majesty of the emperor.

After the imperial father-in-law took the order, a group of people left one after another.

"Close the door and think about the past." He waved his hand and stopped looking at me.

I was a little lost, and within a few steps, his voice came from behind, "Slow down, put on your clothes."

A red gauze flew over to cover my body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I closed my eyes and slowly left the Hall of Eternal Life.

Unless I summon you, you will never come out of Nanshan Pavilion.Still thinking about his words.

But there was a voice in my heart that asked unwillingly: Your Majesty, can I really not get into your eyes?
