A Female King's Love Story

Xi Mansion, study room.

The Grand Commandant sat on a chair on the side with a pale face, trembling as he looked at the people on the main seat. No one dared to make a sound, the silence in the room was terrifying.

The man in the main seat wore a captivating bright red robe, his eyes were tightly shut, and it was not difficult to see from his fair complexion that this person had some sort of enchanting skin. His handsome face, which was as fair as jade, emitted the temperament of both a man and a woman, suddenly raised his thick eyelashes slightly, and his bright pupils abruptly widened.

"That country of Qiao's scarecrow emperor actually found out about Grand Commandant Xi's identity. How do you think I should punish you?" The red clothed man turned the golden ring on his finger, raising his hand and talking about the enchanting charm of a woman without losing the heroic and domineering aura of a man.

"Demon Lord, have mercy. This subordinate was careless. I hope that Demon Lord will not blame me for this and give this subordinate a chance to gain merits." The Grand Commandant's legs gave out and he fell down from his chair, kneeling down in front of the red clothed man, kowtowing continuously as he pleaded.

"Putting on an act to gain merits?" The Demon Lord repeated in amusement, "Grand Commandant knows that I do not like to waste time on useless people."

"Demon Emperor, have mercy. This subordinate is definitely not a useless person. This subordinate is wholeheartedly working for the Demon Lord. Merely, that emperor is currently too cunning. This subordinate has truly underestimated his opponent." The Grand Commandant was trembling from head to toe as he kept bowing and begging with his hands cupped in front of his chest.

"Underestimate your opponent?" The Demon Lord slowly stood up, both of his hands lightly hanging down. Suddenly, a cold gaze shot straight at Grand Commandant Xi, "You're just a scarecrow king that everyone in the Qiao Country knows. You're underestimating your enemy, are you trying to fool me?!"

Just one gaze was enough to pierce holes into the Grand Commandant.

"This subordinate doesn't dare. How would this subordinate dare to deceive the Demon Lord? He is the Regent, and it is only because the Regent and the Emperor are ambiguous that this subordinate was exposed." The Grand Commandant kowtowed with all his might, trembling all over, not daring to raise his head.

"Regent?" The Demon Sovereign's thin lips curled up, "He's just a useless stray dog." He gritted his teeth as he spoke harshly.

He knew that the Demon Lord had always been arrogant, but he did not expect the Demon Lord to not even put him in his eyes.

"Are you saying that Yan Mo Chen and the Emperor of Qiao has an ambiguous relationship?" The Demon Lord slightly frowned.

"Yes, everything that this subordinate said is true." Seeing that the Demon Lord's tone was gentle, Xi Taiyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

"However, I have never liked giving people a second chance. You should go to the Underworld and earn a meritorious service!"

The Demon Lord's lips curled up into a smile. With a "sou ~" sound, no one saw the Demon Lord make his move. They only heard the sound of Grand Commandant Xi's sobbing. His eyes widened before he collapsed to the ground, dead.

When the head steward saw his master was dead, his legs went limp and he kneeled on the floor with his head lowered.

The Demon Lord glanced at the butler kneeling on the ground, his lips moved slightly: "Demon, the rest is up to you."

"Yes, your highness." The Sprite stood behind the Demon Lord, his cold aura permeating through the entire Xi Mansion.

The whole night, Xi Mansion was immersed in the thick smell of blood and screaming.

In the blink of an eye, blood flowed like a river from the imperial capital of the Qiao nation and from the Grand Commandant's Residence.

At the same time, in the darkness and silence of the night, the Prime Minister's Estate was also flickering with candlelight.

Prime Minister Luo sat by Luo Qing's bedside with a worried look on his face.

"Master, you have been taking care of Miss here for a long time. Quickly go back and rest. If this goes on, your body won't be able to bear it. Miss will be blessed by the heavens and nothing will happen to you." The Luo Residence's butler said with concern.

"Ai, it's better if we don't see each other after taking the medicine given by the emperor. How can I not worry?" Prime Minister Luo frowned and sighed.

"Old master, do you think the antidote will be useful?" the Luo Mansion's butler asked worriedly.

"The Emperor hasn't settled down yet. There's still places that she can use it on. She wouldn't dare to use fake medicine to fool me." Prime Minister Luo narrowed his eyes. In the past, Qiao Qiao's actions were still within his control, but now, she seemed to be disobedient even more.

"Master is right. No matter how gutsy the emperor is, he wouldn't dare to openly oppose you." The butler cupped his hands and said.

"Has Vice Minister Han's corpse already been disposed of by someone?" Prime Minister Luo frowned as he asked worriedly.

"Reporting to my lord, everything has been settled. Moreover, someone has already become the scapegoat, no one will suspect my master." The steward replied, "It's just that this old servant doesn't know one thing. Vice Minister Han is used by the emperor to direct Grand Commandant Xi, and the matter of Grand Commandant Xi has nothing to do with the old master. Why would the old master want to help that Grand Commandant get rid of Vice Minister Han?"

Prime Minister Luo did not reply. He swept a cold glance over the crowd. The Head Supervisor of the Luo Residence trembled before bowing and saying, "This old servant has spoken too much."

"That old fox knows too much." Prime Minister Luo slowly smiled.

The Head Supervisor of the Luo Residence bowed slightly, finally understanding what the old master meant.

"I've always been at ease with your work." Prime Minister Luo nodded his head in satisfaction at his steward's coquettish words, "It is only what this prime minister has done, we must not let Qingqing and Jilun know of it."

"Yes, this old servant understands."

"Also, has Young Master been doing well in the palace recently?" Prime Minister Luo asked worriedly.

"Master, the young master is still as usual."

"Send someone to warn the young master. Don't ever do anything rash again. After all, this is under the watch of the Emperor. If the emperor discovers this, then my plan will be ruined." Prime Minister Luo said in a serious tone.

"Yes."

"Also, did you find the jade pendant that you lost in the study?"

"Reporting to old master, the young master has been searching for this person in the palace but has yet to receive any news." Butler replied.

"What a bunch of trash. The dignified Prime Minister's estate was actually invaded by a group of bandits, but no one knows. That's the property of the Prime Minister, and that person even broke the young master's secret. We definitely can't keep him. We have to get the jade pendant back." Prime Minister Luo said with a fierce expression.

"Yes, this old servant will do it right away." The Luo Mansion's butler bowed slightly before retreating.

"Ah, my precious daughter." After the butler left, Prime Minister Luo's gaze continued to fall upon Luo Qingqing, who was on the bed. His gaze swept over the depths of his eyes, filled with worry.

On the bed, Luo Qingqing's fingers were slightly bent and her forehead was slightly creased. However, all of this did not enter the eyes of Prime Minister Luo.
