The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 166 Meets Only the Enemy
“Really?” He asked in a soft voice. He felt that there was a cruel and terrible fact hidden behind this beauty. Just like what Kang Yin said. Was she really only used as a substitute for others because she was beautiful like Li Qing? Or does he really like her?
At that moment, Lu’er pulled Qin Ruojiu's hand gently and said, “Mistress, you are a kind woman. In this world where there are men who do not like you? Even if you use a black veil to cover your face, just with your eyes is enough to make everyone fascinated. Don't mind what the Emperor did to you. I'm sure the Emperor was just upset that he couldn't marry the woman he loved, so he poured all his anger on you. But now she is in love with the lady. Even now that he has treated the Madam as well as that, you still need to worry about what else?”
After hearing Lu’er's advice, Qin Ruojiu's pale white face slowly began to color again. Right, he himself thought too much, now that the Emperor has treated him well and so gently. Why would he still want to think so much and trouble himself? Merely, why was it that every time he remembered that Li Qing's name, his heart ached like it was pierced by a knife. For a long time, he had never felt this kind of feeling. He himself also did not know since when he began to feel jealous of the woman he had never met, but instead he kept on remembering her.
These few days, he kept dreaming of the Emperor calling Li Qing's name in his dreams. It made her heart ache, but she kept reminding herself. Although in the heart of the Emperor there was another woman, but the woman before his eyes was only her own. He could not believe it, he really could not believe that Emperor Zhaolie had ever seen his true face. So he was sure that the Emperor's love for her was not only limited to her being beautiful and charming, but because she truly loved him from the bottom of her heart.
“Mistress, today when I came out earlier, did anything happen to you?” Lu’er felt that something was wrong with the Madam ever since she came home.
But he did not want to ask much and just continued to feel confused and speculate himself in his heart.
Qin Ruojiu shook her head then smiled gently and said, “It's okay, just meet the enemy alone. But, thank you Lu’er. Your advice really made me aware. Now I don't want to be too shady anymore. As a Queen, as long as she can continue to accompany him and live a peaceful life with him until old age is enough. I shouldn't expect him to give all his heart to me.”
“Mistress, Lu’er why not understand what you are saying?”
As the two of them were talking, suddenly the door of the room opened and there was a shadow of a man standing blocking the wind from outside.
When he lifted his head and looked at the door, he immediately saw Emperor Zhaolie who was looking at him with his serious eyes. The look of the two met.
Seeing that, Lu’er immediately stood up and saluted him, “Hamba met with Kasiar!”
Emperor Zhaolie nodded his head but did not look at him and directly waved, “Come out!”
“Good!” Lu’er immediately walked outside the room. He looked towards Qin Ruojiu who was looking at him and seemed to be calming him down.
Then Qin Ruojiu turned her gaze back and looked towards the brave man who was in front of her. The look in his eyes looked so firm, his nose was so sharp and his thin lips also looked so firm. He looked like a soldier ready for battle.
