”Good, good, good. I surrender. It's better that you stay safe. If you hurt my son, I won't be able to bear it.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling raised both his hands in surrender, and a trace of helplessness could be seen on his face.
However, one could still see a hint of hidden happiness in Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes, could already see it from the corner of his mouth which was slightly raised.
”Tonight, you are not allowed to sleep in the Blue Bird Hall. Or else, scram back to your own bedchamber. Otherwise, you can sleep in the Imperial Study.”
Qin Feng turned around and returned to her bed. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been feeling very tired.
Xuanyuan Zhiling almost couldn't hold his jaw when he heard this. Since ancient times, I have only heard of empress or concubines begging the Emperor for mercy, but I have never heard of such a thing as Qin Feng daring to kick the Emperor out.
”I, We, We will definitely stay here tonight with Blue Bird Hall.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling was at a loss and actually stuttered.
Qin Feng was about to sit on the bed, but hearing Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, she immediately stood up.
”Lodging Blue Bird Hall?”
Qin Feng thought for a while, then reached out and grabbed Xuanyuan Zhiling's blanket from the bed, and threw it out of the window.
”How dare you …”
Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to get angry, but seeing Qin Feng's arrogant face, he immediately lost his temper.
”You are the one who is bold! ”How lucky you are that other women still have the face to see my child?”
Qin Feng said coldly, she was not one to pester others, she was only holding grudges regarding Xuanyuan Zhiling and Nalan Duo'er.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed.
”I know that you've always been angry, but I swear to the heavens that we only do it once, and without my knowledge at that.”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said till here, his expression turned complex, with a tinge of gloom.
Qin Feng stared fixedly at Xuanyuan Zhiling. From his sincere gaze, Qin Feng knew that he wasn't lying, and if she really wanted to lie, she could have clearly said it once.
”It was because of this that she had a reason to lie and say that she was pregnant with a dragon.”
When he said till here, Qin Feng's heart fiercely sank, and his mind imagined the scene when Xuanyuan Zhiling climbed onto Nalan Duo'er's bed.
”Qin Feng, you are the only one left in the harem from now on. We don't need any other concubines from now on.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng with assured eyes.
”That won't do. You can forget about staying the night at Blue Bird Hall. If you really want to sleep here, you can only sleep at the entrance of the bedroom.”
Qin Feng was so heartless that she allowed her husband to sleep by the door.
As Xuanyuan Zhiling thought this in his heart, he didn't even dare to say anything unnecessary.
”But, I … I am the Emperor …”
Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to plead for mercy, but before he could finish, Qin Feng directly laid on the bed, and then decisively put down the drapes.
”Qin Feng...”
No matter what Xuanyuan Zhiling said at the door, it was as if he did not hear him.
Qin Chen snickered from behind Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”What are you laughing at?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that he had lost face, and turned to look at Qin Chen with an awkward expression.
”Your Majesty, previously, the empress was sad because of you, but now, it's your turn to be bullied by the empress.”
Qin Chen laughed as she spoke, but Xuanyuan Zhiling could only sigh helplessly.
At night, Xuanyuan Zhiling slept at Qin Feng's door by himself. Currently, Qin Feng was the key target of protection, and she would be willing to do so even if he had to really sleep outside.
Who would have thought that the Emperor would be sleeping on a small bed by the door?
Just as Xuanyuan Zhiling was about to fall asleep, a shadow suddenly flashed beside him. Xuanyuan Zhiling fiercely opened his eyes, and when he opened them, he did not look around, but carefully listened to the surrounding sounds.
There was not a single sound from within the entire Blue Bird Hall. It was so quiet that it was as if time had stopped.
From then on, Xuanyuan Zhiling did not sleep, but paid attention to his surroundings.
Sure enough, a soft rustling sound came from outside the window.
Like a carp that was struck from the water, Xuanyuan Zhiling had already flipped over on the small bed. In a flash, he arrived at the window and carefully listened to the sounds coming from outside.
When that voice once again rang out, Xuanyuan Zhiling had already arrived outside the window. With a body as light as a swallow, he silently arrived outside the window, worried that he would wake Qin Feng who was sleeping soundly within the Blue Bird Hall.
”Who are you? ”Why did you lure me out?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at a black figure that was not far away from him and questioned him coldly.
The black figure trembled, as if he was laughing, and that smile enraged Xuanyuan Zhiling, angering him even further, causing him to grit his teeth and stare at the mysterious black figure.
”You should know who I am.”
The mysterious black figure's voice carried a trace of provocation. Xuanyuan Zhiling could even imagine the raised corner of his lips, along with a mocking smile.
”Song Mingzhi, you actually appeared in front of us. You sure are audacious.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling had already known that this person was Song Mingzhi since a long time ago, because this was the first time Xuanyuan Zhiling had ever met someone who could casually walk in and out of this palace.
Song Mingzhi gave a light laugh, his expression carrying traces of ridicule.
”The emperor has finally thought of me. Song Mingzhi knows that the emperor is resourceful, but he still didn't let me in so easily, did he?”
Song Mingzhi's words were full of ridicule for Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”Hmph, didn't you purposely reveal your identity to lure me here to meet you?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling had long known about this Song Mingzhi, Xiao Jiu, but he wanted to see what this Song Mingzhi was planning to do.
”The Emperor is the Emperor. You saw through my thoughts.”
Although Song Mingzhi spoke with a sense of reverence towards Xuanyuan Zhiling, his tone of voice did not hide it at all.
