The Love Imagination System

Part 8: Pressing Before Being Pressed

After the small banquet ended, Baili Qingchen brought Qingyi and Xiao Junjie out of the palace. It was very late at that time. When the three had just set foot outside the door, Qingyi stopped stepping. It made Baili Qingchen and Xiao Junjie come to a stop, then looked at her in surprise.

“I won't come with you. Go,” said the girl.

Baili Qingchen frowned. In this enormous palace, where was the girl about to go? Baili Qingchen was about to prevent, but her hand was blocked by Xiao Junjie.

“A-Chen, let him go,” said the man.

The carriage had been waiting outside the palace, and Baili Qingchen could only take off Qingyi by force. The horse carriage creaked, then moved slowly leaving the splendor of the palace which always looked charming from a distance.

“Why don't the two of them just get married?” grunts Qingyi.

Inside the palace, Qingyi went to meet Emperor Baili. He sneaked into the emperor's reading room without being caught. If it was an ordinary person, he might have already been put to death for entering the emperor's private room without permission. Even a prince had to tell and ask permission first when he wanted to enter the reading room.

But who is Qingyi? She is the daughter of a prime minister born with the soul of a mad future! What no one else could do, he could do, including conquering the reading room of an emperor!

The interiror design inside the reading room stunned the girl. The details are so awesome. Yes, he knew an emperor's reading room couldn't be like a barn or a pigsty.

Can't, can't be so haphazardly built and decorated. That said, the emperor's reading room was the second home for an emperor, because it was there that the emperor spent hours engaged in his work.

The door of the reading room opened as Qingyi was engrossed in looking at the landscape painting on the emperor's desk. Behind him, Emperor Baili revealed a very surprised face when he saw a small but beautiful girl standing behind him. As Qingyi turned around, the emperor's expression grew even more interesting to look at.

“What are you doing here?” ask the emperor. That face turned fierce.

Qingyi's guess. This emperor only looked friendly on the outside, but who would have thought that he was a man of very cunning and evil ambition. Everyone had been deceived by the pseudo-friendliness and wisdom this young man displayed in public.

“I'm lost,” Qingyi replied. Anyone can tell that it's just the answer to a lie.

Emperor Baili did not believe it. He looked at the girl, tracing her eyes that revealed absolutely no fear or guilt.

The haughtiness of the girl before him made his steps stop two meters in front of the table, he saw a red pendant draped down the girl's neck. That hubris, never found in any girl in this dynasty.

Seeing that the girl could enter the reading room alone made the emperor believe that what he had heard was a lie. No, Qingyi the daughter of the prime minister is not what people talk about. The girl was like a goddess who was good at hiding her power. Whatever was inside him, it was definitely not a good thing for him.

“What did your father tell you?” ask the emperor. Qingyi shook her head.

“He didn't have that courage, Your Grace.”

Emperor Baili did not believe it. Even though the prime minister was the one, but the rotten old man always licked before him to earn his wealth and trust. Even to keep his position safe, the prime minister offered his own daughter to be married to King Changle's mansion, when it was clearly an insult to his family.

“What King Changle asked you for?” ask again. Qingyi shook her head again.

“I'm sure His Majesty knows that he will not use such an ability.”

Not the prime minister, not his uncle, then who has taken control of this girl? Emperor Baili was in disbelief, but the answer from Qingyi made sense. Those two people would not want to do something like this. It seemed, Qingyi was acting alone.

“What do you want?” asked the emperor as he regained his consciousness.

Qingyi clapped her hands in her heart. Good, now the emperor is in his control. Emperor Baili was so hesitant when stepping up to him, it showed that Qingyi was quite successful in creating the aura of a girl that no one could resist.

“Simple only, Your Majesty. I just hope that you don't use me and Xiao Junjie as tools to suppress King Changle.”

Even if King Changle, his uncle, had high intelligence, he might have only realized that this emperor's nephew was only using Qingyi to suppress him, as a sign that his uncle could not do anything about it, including against him because in his residence there is a daughter of the prime minister.

Everyone knows that the prime minister is the man of Emperor Baili, who, with loyalty for generations, has always served the emperor.

If King Changle intended to rebel one day, then he would be said to be shameless for creating a chasm between a child and his father.

Not only from the royal family, then from the residence of the prime minister will not escape the humiliation. It made Baili Qingchen further weaken her power when the man did not even recognize her own illness.

“You realized it turned out,” said the emperor.

“If Your Majesty uses that dirty trick, I do not guarantee that Your Majesty's big secret will remain hidden or not,” Liu Qingyi said as lightly as cotton.

“You, what do you know?”

The emperor's face suddenly flushed. Does this girl really know her big secret?

Qingyi suddenly approached, then half whispered,

“Didn't when King Changle was seven years old, you wanted to kill him? I remember the waiter who witnessed the incident is still alive today. Hm, how could a young crown prince already have the intention of killing his own kin? Oh, His Majesty also had time to harm this kingdom when he was eight years old for almost killing the prince of the emissary from another country, didn't you?”

How could it be, how could this girl know of her vices in the past? How could the everyday Qingyi just be a babu in the prime minister's residence know the great secrets of the imperial family from the past?

In fact, only the emperor himself knew that! The witnesses in the past were gone and silent, how could this girl know so clearly?

Seeing the terrified expression on Emperor Baili's face, Qingyi felt a little guilty. Was he too cruel and said it too clearly? Really, he had no intention of making the emperor afraid. Qingyi had only tried every means she could so that this emperor would not use her nor Xiao Junjie to suppress Baili Qingchen for his entire life.

After all, he still had an important mission to complete for Baili Qingchen. Qingyi couldn't let someone get in the way and influence that mission.

“Good. As long as you don't mess around, I won't count with King Changle.”

Qingyi smiled with satisfaction. When Emperor Baili was frightened like that, Qingyi felt her role had been switched. He should be the antagonist here. However, that decisiveness was necessary to save his life in the future. If he wanted to make this young emperor quiet, then he would have to bully him a little.

The emperor never expected to be cornered. All along, he was the one who controlled the world, making everyone bend their knees to him and worshiping him like a god.

He is the one who often cornered people and pushed them to the door of hell. But at this time, he actually felt afraid of being bullied by a lowly girl whose name was even newly written in his native family lineage.

“Your Majesty is so wise. In that case, your aunt is saying goodbye first,” Qingyi said.

When the girl turned around, Emperor Baili breathed a sigh of relief. However, her breathing came back as the girl stopped her steps, turned around and looked at her with a strange smile on her face. This is not a good thing.

What else does the girl want?

“Oh, His Majesty must also return all the money belonging to King Changle. If Your Majesty cuts him off again, I do not guarantee Your Majesty's secret will remain safe.”

The emperor was again surprised. This girl also found out about the monthly rations of King Changle's mansion that she had cut in the palace. Who told him? Has someone betrayed him?

His question will never be answered even until he dies.
