Eunuch Ling would do everything to save the emperor from being drowned by embarra.s.sment and to keep his decency.
Eunuch Ling: "You should"ve said you heard nothing."
"Then I"ll have to lie to his majesty." Hua Qingxin said with pure innocence.
"You…" Yun Cang turned around, pointed at Hua Qingxin and said angrily, "You think I don"t know your trick? You inquired secretly about what I would do tonight, and knew that I wouldn"t visit you, and then waited me in the Imperial Garden with a quilt… I"ve never seen such a bold-faced woman."
Holding a corner of the quilt in her arms, Hua Qingxin shouted, "You shouldn"t wrong me because I know your dirty ideas, your majesty."
"Huh, you think you know my real thought due to a few words?"
Yun Cang shrugged his shoulders, pretending that he didn"t care at all, and laughed at Hua Qingxin, "You totally misunderstood. I can have any woman I want. But you… lame singer, don"t play tricks to gain my favor. I"ll never like you no matter what you do."
"That"s great! I took so much trouble only to make you dislike me." Hua Qingxin talked back rudely in anger.
"Don"t show yourself in front of me anymore, lame singer!"
"Yes, your majesty!"
"I"ll make you live a bitter life in the imperial harem for the rest of your life."
"Thanks, your majesty!"
"You… You will never have a child."
"Long live, your majesty!"
"You…"
Yun Cang had been a prince and an emperor for more than 20 years, but he had never been so provoked by anyone that he was speechless.
Eunuch Ling shook with fears. He tried to calm the emperor down, "It"s a dry season. Please calm down, your majesty, or you won"t sleep well at night."
Yun Cang had a deep breath, and waved his hand, "Let"s go visit Consort Ming."
Hua Qingxin kneeled on the ground at once, "Take care, your majesty!"
Yun Cang turned around and left without hesitation.
He walked in big strides. At the thought of the stubborn face and the scorned expression of Hua Qingxin, Yun Cang suddenly stopped.
He felt a fire burning in his stomach.
Eunuch Ling asked in a nervous voice, "What"s the matter, your majesty?"
Yun Cang shouted furiously, pointing at the stars, "I"m the emperor, how dare she!"
Then he turned around and took off his clothes while walking, "No need to play hard-to-get at all. I"ll make her mine right away!"
Hua Qingxin lost her mind due to anger. As soon as she lied down in the quilt, the quilt was pulled away by a powerful strength.
Hua Qingxin was startled, seeing that the emperor standing in front of her, topless, like a formidable devil.
Wow. He had strong muscles. Hua Qingxin got a bit bashful.
No way!
"Hey… What are you going to do!?"
Yun Cang took Hua Qingxin fiercely, lied on her, and tore down her thin clothes.
Eunuch Ling didn"t dare to get close. Luckily, they were blocked by the flowerbed. Eunuch Ling could only hear noises that Hua Qingxin"s clothes were torn down and her screech.
"Ah… It hurts…"
"Ah… Help…"
A team of imperial bodyguards arrived soon, "Who is screeching here?"
Eunuch Ling hurried to stop them, "Don"t get close… it"s His Majesty…"
The bodyguards got the hint and were about to leave. Suddenly, they heard the screech of the emperor, "Ah, how dare you to bite me? I"ll punish you…"
"Ah… let go of me… I"ll kill you…"
"Ah…"
The woman and the emperor screeched in turns…
The bodyguards did not know what to do. It was their duty to protect the emperor, but it was really embarra.s.sing for them to rush to the emperor at this moment.
Eunuch Ling cleared his throat and said, "Nothing serious. Don"t worry. The emperor is teaching the shrew a lesson now…Go on patrolling."
Therefore, the bodyguards left.
"Ah…"
Hua Qingxin kept screeching due to pains both in body and mind, but Yun Cang did not stop. Instead, he queried her.
"Listen up, I"m not sympathizing you. But another group of bodyguards will come if you keep screaming."
Hua Qingxin was all tears, but she talked back with heavy pant angrily, "I cried because of pain, hatred and repression…"
"Well, then I"ll help you… Guards, come here, where are the bodyguards…"
Hua Qingxin covered the mouth of Yun Cang, and sobbed gingerly, "I"m scared…"
Yun Cang smiled. He moved away her hand, held her in his arms gently, touched her forehead tenderly and said slowly, "Qingxin, you are my woman now."
Hua Qingxin cried even more hard, "No… Ah…"
The next morning, Hua Qingxin got back to her chamber, about to hang herself with a white silk rope.
"Such a shame. I don"t want to live. Prince Yun Hai will not forgive me…"
