A Female King's Love Story

Outside the palace, the imperial guards wore armor and held long spears in their hands. They patrolled the palace one after another with strict security, surrounding the entire palace from front to back.

Joe was still standing at the entrance to the palace, looking with interest at the group of imperial guards who didn't take her seriously at all.

In a flash, a green figure appeared from outside the palace.

"Who is it?!" Before anyone could approach the palace, they were stopped by the patrolling imperial guards.

"My lord, this servant is Qingwu, a rank 2 palace maid from the Palace. I've come to serve you." Qingwu said with a fawning expression.

"Under orders? Whose life! Unless it is the decree of the Regent, no one is allowed to enter! " The imperial guards shouted at Qingwu.

Qingwu grew up in the palace, and the palace's rules and regulations allow Qingwu to understand. Although the Regent has sent troops to guard the Qian Qing Palace, he has never said that the servant girls are not allowed inside, and the one inside is the Emperor. If we neglect this matter, then in the future, those who suffer and fail to curry favor with him will be the servants like us. As she spoke, she carefully stepped forward, placing a silver ingot in the hands of the imperial guards.

"Mm ~" The imperial guards turned to look, but no one noticed. They weighed the silver in their hands and smiled. "Then go."

"Thank you, my lord." Slightly smiling, Dancing lifted her leg and ran in the direction of the palace.

This scene fell into Qiao Qiao's eyes. She smiled and said, "This person knows how to act, is meticulous, and does the right thing. If this Qingwu is willing to do it for her, then not only can this person be useful, she can also be highly valued!"

"Your majesty!" Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still standing in front of the Qian Qing Palace's door, Qingwu called out worriedly, "Why are you standing here? Be careful of the cold." After saying that, he supported Qiao Qiao and continued walking into the hall.

Qiao Qiao's hand was still on Qingwu's hand, intentionally or unintentionally. Suddenly, a glimmer of light flowed out of his eyes.

"Qingwu, you know martial arts?" Her pulse was strong and her hands were rough and callused. However, it did not look like a cocoon that had been sharpened by some kind of rough work. It was obvious that this cocoon had been sharpened by a sword just by touching it.

Qingwu was slightly stunned for a moment before she nodded and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant knows martial arts."

"In this imperial harem, there aren't many rank 4 palace maids with kung fu skills." Qiao Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to have some doubt as he waited for Qingwu's explanation.

"Reporting to the Emperor, it was the late emperor who taught me his servant's martial arts." Qingwu nodded and said.

Qiao Qiao was still a little startled. What was this father of hers, who she had never seen before, doing to make all the maids in the harem learn kung fu skills?!

Ever since your birth, Your Majesty, there has been a prediction in the city that you will become a female emperor in the future. The late emperor was worried that such rumors would endanger your safety, so he secretly ordered the eight palace maids of different ranks to learn martial arts in order to protect your safety, but the eight of them did not know each other and did not have any connections with each other. After the accident with the late emperor, the eight of them had been split up with only one goal. Qingwu lowered her head. She was afraid that the current situation had already reached the point where what the late emperor once said would go against her wishes.

"How did royal father die?" Ever since she had woken up, the matters of the imperial court had left her overwhelmed. She knew very little about her parents, and she did not know why her parents had died young, to the point where she did not even know what her parents were like.

"Poisoning, a very rare poison. There is no antidote in this world." Qingwu replied.

"No one investigated? As the son of a country, he is still young. How could he possibly be poisoned? " Joe asked, still frowning.

"Before the late emperor passed away, he once said that this poison was taken by himself, so this matter was not investigated deeply." When Qingwu mentioned the late emperor, there was still a trace of gratitude on his face.

Qiao Qiao's brows were still knitted tightly. No matter how she tried, she could not understand why the heavenly prince, who could have safely enjoyed his life, ended his own life by consuming poison. Moreover, she was the empress not only because there was no one left to protect the Qiao family after the previous emperor, but also because there was no one who could protect them. Was it a coincidence or was there some sort of plan behind it?

"Then, my mother …" When Qiao Qiao mentioned her mother, her heart actually clenched violently. For Qiao who had lost both parents since she was young, calling her father as Emperor or her mother as empress was all luxurious.

"Your Majesty, after the late emperor passed away, the Empress …" "Then I'll leave with Emperor Xian." Qingwu let out a soft sigh.

The death of her royal father and mother would not be so simple. It seemed as if a storm was about to break within the country of Qiao and she could only take one step at a time, "Qingwu, since you are royal father's person, you will naturally be very loyal to me."

"Qingwu's life is the emperor's. This servant is willing to go through fire and water for the emperor!" She cupped her hands and spoke righteously.

"Alright!" Qiao Qiao's lips were still curled into a smile. "Find a chance and give this to Eunuch Gao." As he spoke, Qiao Qiao took out a command medallion from his sleeve. The large "Moon" character was exceptionally dazzling.

"The Moon Embroidered Uniform Dark Guard!" There were many experts gathered inside that were originally loyal to the late emperor. However, after the late emperor left, the emperor was a failure and thus fell into the hands of the regent for three years. Who would have thought that the emperor would take it back now!

"I really want to see whether the imperial guards or the silk-clothes secret guards are powerful!" Qiao Qiao was still sitting on the chair, waiting to watch a good show as she played with the teacup in her hand. Luckily, she had already seen through Yan Mo Chen's intentions today, so she found out that he was taking advantage of her.

"After giving this to Eunuch Gao, you will leave the palace and help me find the source of the rumors." He put away the token in his hand and said with a serious face, "No matter what, there must be no mishap with this token, so she must be delivered to a reliable person. In this palace, with Xiyue injured and Qingwu in the Li Palace, the only person she can trust is Eunuch Gao."

"Yes, this servant obeys!" Qingwu nodded, she tightly held the plate that Qiao Qiao still handed to her and put it on her waist. She raised her head and looked at Qiao Qiao with eyes that contained a hint of admiration.
