Those arrows had hit his heart.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were about to pop out. She uttered a few broken syllables and fell to the ground unwillingly.

As for the eunuch, he had already died on the spot.

The palace maids shivered and their faces were as pale as snow.

Scandals couldn't be leaked. Even the Empress Dowager had died. They, who were worthless servants, would definitely be executed.

Xiao Qingtang did not give up. She looked carefully and withdrew her gaze in disappointment. She tugged at Qin Yanling's sleeve and said resentfully, "She is your foster mother. Even if she has done many wrong things, isn't it too heartless of you to order someone to kill her? If this spreads, it will be a stain on your reputation."

Qin Yanling said slowly, "The Empress Dowager didn't have a son. She killed my birth mother and took me away. She didn't deserve to be my mother.

I tolerated her because of our years of friendship. Unexpectedly, she harmed you 13 years ago. Now she hasn't changed. I can't let her live. "

Then he asked lightly, "How did the Empress Dowager die?"

Among the kneeling palace maids, there was a clever one. She immediately rolled her eyes and beamed with joy. She hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Ying stole the treasure and refused to repent. The Empress Dowager ordered him to be beaten to death. Who knew that Eunuch Ying would be so bold as to murder the Empress Dowager. Eunuch Ying was killed by the guards on the spot!"

"Full of loopholes."

Xiao Qingtang muttered, "Eunuch Ying was the Empress Dowager's trusted aide. How could the Empress Dowager be willing to beat him to death for some treasures? It'll arouse suspicion."

The clever palace maid's face turned pale. She trembled and said, "Your Majesty is right."

At that time, Qin Yanling slightly raised the corners of his mouth. There was a bit of mockery in his eyes. He said calmly, "This man was never clean and accompanied the Empress Dowager all day. He was lustful and wanted to do something to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager would rather die than obey. She died with him." He flicked his sleeve, held Xiao Qingtang's waist, and walked into the bedroom under the soft moonlight.

"We obey the imperial edict!" The palace maids bowed and all sighed with relief. Their backs were wet with sweat.

Although they were the Empress Dowager's trusted aides, the Empress Dowager was dead. They naturally had to make plans for themselves.

The moonlight was like water, and a gentle breeze blew.

On both sides of the bluestone road, there was a glazed lamp every five feet. The two of them held hands, dismissed the guards and maids, and strolled under the moonlight.

Xiao Qingtang was unhappy.

The Empress Dowager was dead, and the truth of what had happened thirteen years ago was sealed. It would be difficult for it to surface again.

"Not happy?

Because I ordered someone to kill the Empress Dowager? "Qin Yanling suddenly asked. When he glanced at her, his eyes were burning.

He did it on purpose because he didn't want to resolve the misunderstanding from back then. He was afraid that once he understood her difficulties, he would no longer blame her. Once his hatred disappeared, it would be the time for her to leave him.

He would never allow that to happen.

Xiao Qingtang pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she said seriously, "Back then, we separated because of the Empress Dowager. Now that she is dead, all the old grudges are gone.

I shouldn't have come back. It's been thirteen years. Things have remained the same, but people have changed. What's left is just a little obsession from the past. It's time to disperse.

Wild geese will return one day, and flowers will bloom again. It's hard for people to look back. Our fate has come to an end.

You, let me go! "

In an instant, Qin Yanling's face turned cold. His eyes were like frost as he stared at her. His body was full of murderous intent. He suddenly sneered, "I really want to cut open your heart and see what it looks like and what color it is!"

Xiao Qingtang shrank her head. When she was about to bite the bullet and say a few more words to persuade him, he picked her up. She was frightened and said sternly, "What are you doing? Put me down. I don't like you anymore!"

"It doesn't matter. I'll make you like me," Qin Yanling said coldly as if he was giving an order, "Hold me tight."

"I won't!"

Xiao Qingtang said angrily and kept struggling. Suddenly, her body loosened as if she was about to fall. She was so scared that she hurriedly hugged him. But when she saw his eyebrows raised, she suddenly became angry. "Treacherous, cunning, shameless."

Qin Yanling didn't seem to hear her. He strode back to the palace with her in his arms and went straight to their destination.

"Wait!" Xiao Qingtang's legs went soft. She looked flattering. "Let's sit on the chair and have a good talk."

She had stayed in bed all day since last night. She had only left the bed for less than two hours, and now she was back. This was simply terrible!

Qin Yanling nodded and said, "We need to have a good talk. But the premise is that we have to be honest with each other."

After saying that, he fiercely tore open her clothes. His tone was inexplicable. "You don't like me, but your body likes me very much."

"…" Xiao Qingtang was speechless.

"Do you remember what you said when you kissed me for the first time thirteen years ago?"

Qin Yanling whispered in her ear. His voice was gentle and affectionate. His soft breath sprinkled on her neck, making her feel numb. It was like vintage wine that captivated her heart. "You said that if I don't like you, I'll kiss you until I like you. As you wish, I like you.

Since love can be kissed, then love can also be done, right? "

"…" Xiao Qingtang choked on her words.

However, no matter how hard she struggled and provoked him, she still couldn't escape. He didn't let her go until she was exhausted and had no strength left.

After washing up, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

[666: Sister Tang, focus on your task. Don't be obsessed with fighting with Qin Yanling!]

["I angered him to pave the way for my big move. Don't worry, everything is under control." Xiao Qingtang smiled.]

["Really?" 666: Doubtful.]

[Xiao Qingtang was exultant. She said, "The Empress Dowager's death disrupted my original plan. Fortunately, I'm smart and came up with a brilliant plan in a short time."]

On the golden bed, the sheets were crumpled. The two of them hugged each other with their hair entwined. It was warm and charming.

Suddenly, Qin Yanling opened his eyes and sat up. His face was as gloomy as ink, and he was panting softly.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Qingtang's voice was slightly hoarse and full of sleepiness. Her body was still sore and weak. Her eyelashes fluttered a few times, but she didn't have the strength to open her eyes. She scolded him in her heart.

Qin Yanling looked unhappy. "I had a nightmare. I dreamed of the Empress Dowager."

These few words were enough to tell her everything.

"Serves you right." Xiao Qingtang smiled and felt comfortable.

Who asked him to bully her? He deserved retribution.

Qin Yanling let out a cold snort and pressed her hand against his.

Xiao Qingtang was frightened. When she was deep in sleep, she was awakened by the stimulation. Only when he was satisfied could she fall asleep with a heart full of resentment.

"Tang Tang …" Qin Yanling murmured softly, and his eyes softened.

In fact, he lied to her when he said that he had a nightmare.

According to his guess, she was a seductress. If he wanted to force her to stay, he had to think of another way.

Since the Empress Dowager's death, the Emperor had nightmares every day, and his mental appearance was not as good as before.

Xiao Qingtang, who slept with him, was also suffering. Because he couldn't sleep, he would take her to "play games".

It was not until a month later that the situation improved a little with the help of a master among the common people. He drew more than a dozen divine talismans and placed them around the palace.

"Your Majesty, the divine talismans have been placed all around the palace."

Qin Yanling nodded. At this time, he was holding the sleepy Xiao Qingtang in his arms.

The talismans were placed around the palace, forming a magic array. Then, a seductress like her would never be able to escape from the palace.

"Don't be noisy." Xiao Qingtang was sleepy and her tone was not good. She was full of resentment.

She estimated that the time had come. It was time to make a big move.

[At this time, 666 came over and said awkwardly, "Let me tell you a piece of bad news."]

["There's still bad news?" Xiao Qingtang was surprised.]

666 said with a bitter face, "You're pregnant.

Strictly speaking, you and Qin Yanling are on different levels of life. He can't make you pregnant. "13 years ago, she took a fake pregnancy pill and became pregnant.]
