The Flower Guarding Bell Chapter 15: What does she want

Qilixi is gone, but Xiao Qingxue has no time to rest in peace. She sorted out everything that happened in the past, and finally came to a conclusion.

As for whether this conclusion is correct, she needs to find Li Changqing personally to confirm.

Because of this incident, Xiao Qingxue's position has been restored. I wonder if this is a blessing in disguise?

In the evening, I was fed by Lingsu for dinner.

Qingxue ordered someone to light a few more candles, she was waiting for someone.

An hour later, the voice of "Emperor Wanfu Jinan" sounded outside the door.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

The word "concubine", which she once hated so much, came out of her mouth without any disobedience. She was about to get up on her knees, but was stopped by him.

"You're injured, please forgive me."

She leaned back on the bed with a smile on her pale face, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ling Su saw that the two people were finally no longer fighting each other, and wisely sent everyone to retreat together.

In the house, candles are lit.

Li Changqing's eyes flashed over the lights, "Are you waiting for me? Did you know I would come?"

"The concubine is just taking a chance."

He took a seat at the table, made himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked her, "So, what's the matter with you?"

"My concubine has always had some doubts in my heart. I wonder if I can ask the emperor to clarify my doubts?"

Xiao Qingxue carefully raised her eyes to look at him, but he didn't look at her, staring at the brown face in the cup, half-obscured.

"Come and listen."

After pondering for a moment, she finally spoke out the conjecture that gradually formed in her heart——

"Does the emperor not want me to die?"

Hearing this, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Why do you see it?"

"If the emperor really wanted his concubine to die, he would not have tried to save him when he jumped from the castle tower. Also this time, the concubine was stupid, except to go to the emperor, he didn't really want my life. I can't think of any other reason."

"Then," there was no ups and downs in his voice, "what do you think is the reason why I don't want you to die?"

Xiao Qingxue was stunned for a moment, but did not expect the tentative question to be easily confirmed by him.

Thinking of the question he threw, she lowered her eyes, her thick feathered eyelashes cast a shadow.

The reason you don't want her to die.

Love?

She puckered her lips, and with all the things she had in the previous days, she definitely wouldn't deceive herself and think about it.

Then the only possibility is this.

"The concubine heard that if you want to really take revenge on your enemy, the best way to solve your hatred is not to let him die. It's-"

"But what?"

Across the dense steam of tea, she couldn't see how different his eyes were from usual, and she just tightened her voice.

"It is impossible to live, not to die."

As her last words fell, there was silence in the room.

He put down the tea cup, and lightly clasped the table with his long, clean fingers.

"Dong-dong-dong"

Every time he fell lightly, it slammed into her heart, and the next moment the voice stopped abruptly, and her heart tightened.

"You've gotten smarter since you got out of the dungeon."

This sigh, he seems to sincerely praise.

Xiao Qingxue raised the corner of her mouth, deliberately ignoring the sudden collapse somewhere in her heart, and resolutely lifted her to her knees.

"My concubine has something to ask the emperor."

Looking at the small mass kneeling on the ground, it was as fragile as if a gust of wind could take her life. But it is such a fragile life that has been stubbornly endured again and again.

Li Changqing's eyes twitched slightly, and when she returned to her senses, she still kept her kneeling posture, as if she would not be able to kneel if he didn't agree to her request.

She has never changed her stubbornness.

"What's the matter?"

"The concubine urges the emperor, so that the concubine can serve the emperor in close proximity."

His eyes gradually became cold, and he half-squinted, "Xiao Qingxue, tell me why you did this."

The man below stood up straight, making no secret of the desire in his eyes.

"The concubine wants more power to protect herself and the people she cares about. Before you want to kill the concubine."
