The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 178 How do you know

Qin Liuse paused and muttered, "How did the emperor know?"

Emperor Yongjia raised his hand and signaled the maids standing inside the room waiting to serve to leave.

Qingcao understood and led a group of servants out of Chengqian Palace.

The autumn moon was high in the sky at this time, and it should have been a beautiful scene of "the moon is above the willows, and people make appointments after dusk", but Qin Liuse did not feel beautiful at all.

It was because I knew that Emperor Yongjia was usually in a bad mood on this day.

She originally thought that he was summoning her to sleep with him, and she felt embarrassed for a moment, thinking that there was something special about it.

But at the moment, maybe Emperor Yongjia is looking for her to settle accounts.

Emperor Yongjia came over, and Qin Liuse quickly took out his pajamas and helped him put them on.

Emperor Yongjia looked down at the woman who was helping him put on his clothes and said indifferently, "You have nothing to ask of me, but my beloved concubine is so attentive?"

When talking about the word "diligent", Emperor Yongjia deliberately paused and emphasized his tone.

Qin Liuse's cheeks were about to puff up, but she really came here to "apologize", so she didn't dare to really puff them up.

After helping him get dressed, walking to the window with him to sit down, and pouring tea for Emperor Yongjia, Qin Liuse was ready to speak.

However, she felt a little embarrassed to speak because Emperor Yongjia was watching her every move of serving tea and pouring water.

Emperor Yongjia looked at people in a straightforward and unconcealed manner. He looked up at her while drinking tea, as if he wanted to see what she could say.

Qin Liuse was most annoyed by his calmness, which made him look like a clown.

But Qin Liuse was not a pushover and didn't want to be looked down upon by him.

Emperor Yongjia stretched out his hand and beckoned her over. Qin Liuse walked over obediently and was held in his arms and sat down.

Qin Liuse blinked her big eyes and looked at him, "Your Majesty, I haven't given you an explanation for what happened today."

Emperor Yongjia rested his head on top of hers, closed his eyes and said "hmm", as if he was listening, but also as if not.

Qin Liuse was like this, embedded in him, whispering about what happened today, "I didn't know about it at first, but before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my people came to tell me that they saw the Thirteenth Prince and Miss Yuzhu playing with lanterns together."

"I originally thought it was nothing. They are all royal relatives, so it's normal for them to know each other."

"Not long after it started, a maid from the Imperial Food Bureau spilled soup on me. I thought it was a coincidence."

Qin Liuse's head was used as a cushion by Emperor Yongjia, so she couldn't see his expression and could only continue talking on her own.

"I asked the maid to help me go to the dressing room to change clothes. I was delayed for a while, and just as I walked out of Chaoyang Palace, I was bumped into by Xiaojiu."

"I think this is not a coincidence. That Xiaojiu often asked Zijin to pass on messages to me about Miss Qingzhu."

Emperor Yongjia moved his lips and said, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Qin Liuse then told the story of how Xiaojiu and Qingzhu lured her into a trap, but she never mentioned anything about Liu Qiuniang.

Because if Emperor Yongjia really wanted to know, he could check it himself, and it would be impossible for him not to find it.

After telling the story of Xiao Jiu, seeing that Emperor Yongjia had no reaction, Qin Liuse continued to tell the story, "When I walked out of Chaoyang Palace, I happened to see that the Thirteenth Prince's seat was vacant, so I was cautious and did not let Xiao Jiu be brought to me."

Qin Liuse didn't say anything until Emperor Yongjia came over from Chaoyang Palace. "As for other things, I'll admit that they are jealous of each other. I know they don't want to see the emperor and I get close to each other often, but if they want to wrongly accuse my handwriting, or the emperor's brother, I will never allow it."

"I know that I have gone too far in this matter. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Qin Liuse then raised her head and looked at him.

Emperor Yongjia finally moved his chin away from her head and did not reply to her words, but said, "You are quite clever."

He spoke in a neutral tone, and Qin Liuse couldn't tell the emotion in his tone for a moment. She didn't know whether he was praising himself or belittling himself.

"I can see that because they have so many flaws. They used someone like Xiaojiu. They don't know that I am already on guard against Xiaojiu."

Qin Liuse said this without moving. She just blinked and looked at Emperor Yongjia. It was not until Emperor Yongjia rubbed her face that Qin Liuse realized that he was probably not angry.

It didn't seem good to stare at each other at such a close distance, so Qin Liuse mustered up the courage to ask, "Did the emperor guess it outside the locker room?"

"I originally thought it was a coincidence, but seeing that you were not in a hurry to recruit people to clean it up, I guessed it to some extent." Emperor Yongjia smiled with the corners of his lips curled.

Qin Liuse curled her lips and thought to herself, can you guess it this way?

But it is also true that she, like Concubine Li, is in charge of things. If the matter has nothing to do with her, she can naturally calmly ask people to take care of the aftermath.

Qin Liuse's face felt hot when he heard this. It really didn't feel good to be seen through so easily.

"I know it's too late to say anything now. I did handle this matter with personal emotions. If the emperor wants to punish me, I will not shirk my responsibility."

Emperor Yongjia picked up the teacup, used the lid to skim off the floating tea leaves, and said with a smile, "I see you are quite calm. Are you afraid that I will blame you, so you didn't ask your maid to do it, and you lit the fire yourself?"

Qin Liuse forced a smile and felt a little guilty. She didn't expect that he had guessed everything.

She was afraid that she would be unable to hide the blame later, so she took the lamp oil and poured it on herself, and did not ask them to follow her when she went to the locker room.

Because if something happened to her, she would not die because of her position. But if something happened to her maid, she would at least suffer physical pain.

Qin Liuse laughed awkwardly, "Hehehe", because he really didn't know how to respond to this.

Emperor Yongjia looked at her and said, "Why are you silent?"

Qin Liuse laughed again, "I feel guilty. Your Majesty has seen through everything I do. I can't hide it from you."

Qin Liuse flattered awkwardly.

I don't know whether I am flattering the horse or hitting the horse's thigh, or whether I am hitting the right place.

Emperor Yongjia said with a smile, "You are so clever, so protective of your children, so eloquent, and so smiling. How could I reach out and hit someone who smiles at me? Why are you feeling guilty? Don't tell me you don't know what's going on."

Qin Liuse knew that he was joking with her, but she still blushed when he said that.

Of course she has a plan. Everything she does and says has a plan.

But I don’t know what Emperor Yongjia meant at the moment, and whether there is any hidden meaning in his words?

Qin Liuse couldn't help but ask what was in her mind, "Your Majesty, are you angry with me?"

Emperor Yongjia was somewhat unhappy at first, but at this moment he had the beauty in his arms, her delicate skin wrapped around his hands, and it was not her fault in the first place, so no matter how unhappy he was, it all disappeared.

Emperor Yongjia thought for a moment, curled his lips and said, "You know I'm angry, so please let me calm down tonight."
