Following Qin Yanling's question, everyone turned to look at Xiao Qingtang. They all had strange expressions on their faces, and they all had their own guesses.

Now that the situation was clear, it was a play of "My heart belongs to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch".

Their pitiful Emperor had kept his chastity for 13 years and was obsessed with finding a woman, but she had to elope with a prince.

No matter how they looked at it, Prince Xicang could not compare to His Majesty!

For a moment, all the officials shared a common enemy and glared at Xiao Qingtang. Their gazes were extremely unfriendly, as if Xiao Qingtang had done something very wrong.

Leave with Su Ming?

Xiao Qingtang bit her lower lip and did not speak for a long time. Even if she wanted to, she had to be careful in public.

Most importantly, she did not know Qin Yanling's intentions and was afraid that she would harm Su Ming.

She suddenly felt that Qin Yanling was blocking her way out.

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth, but heard Su Ming say seriously, "May I ask Your Majesty, if Miss Xiao agrees to leave, will you be reluctant to part with her?"

At the side, Princess Su Zhilan was anxious. She gently tugged at Su Ming's sleeve and bowed gracefully. "Your Majesty, my elder brother is tired from the long journey. I'm afraid that he has offended Your Majesty because of fatigue. Your Majesty, please forgive him!"

"When I didn't ask, when was it your turn to interrupt?"

Qin Yanling said indifferently. His deep eyes swept across the hall, and the entire hall instantly fell silent. The atmosphere seemed to have dropped to the freezing point, and no one dared to make a fuss.

Su Zhilan's pretty face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly. She forced herself to calm down, and when she secretly looked at him, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Ever since her father opened his mouth and offered her to Qin Yanling, she was happy in her heart.

How many girls in the boudoir did not yearn for love?

She had long yearned for the Emperor of the East Imperial Kingdom and wanted to marry the strongest and most outstanding man in the world. However, after traveling thousands of miles, he gave her the cold shoulder and did not summon her for ten days.

She used to be the princess of a country and was doted on by everyone. Naturally, she would feel the difference.

After looking around, Qin Yanling's eyes returned to Xiao Qingtang.

Obviously, he was extremely patient as he quietly looked at her with a faint smile on his face. He was rather unfathomable as he waited for her answer.

Xiao Qingtang thought about it again and again, weighing the pros and cons. As if she had mustered up all the courage of her life, she looked straight at him and said slowly and firmly, "I want to leave the palace alone. I don't want to travel with Prince Xicang. I hope Your Majesty will allow it!"

"Truth?"

Qin Yanling asked indifferently. His tone was unclear, but when he saw her nod, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and responded without hesitation, "Permission granted. You are allowed to leave the palace …" He suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into her ear, as gentle as a lover's whisper, "We will never meet again in this life."

Xiao Qingtang's body trembled. She was so frightened that the hypnosis spell was automatically undone.

"…" Xiao Qingtang was speechless for a moment.

She admitted that she was loosening the reins only to grasp them better, but she really didn't expect the result.

"See, you're still thinking about the Little Dark Room. Now there are new problems. Let's see how you're going to smooth things over!"

"Don't panic. I haven't left yet. There's still a chance," Xiao Qingtang muttered.

She didn't believe that Qin Yanling, who loved and hated her, would be willing to let her leave the palace. He must be testing her. She couldn't be fooled.

"You have to pretend that you're extremely heartbroken and wish him well with tears in your eyes!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Qingtang choked with sobs as tears gushed out. She tried her best to control her sadness and forced a smile. Her tears dripped down. "I will bless Your Majesty day and night. I only hope that Your Majesty will be healthy and peaceful. I hope that Your Majesty can find someone who understands you and spend the rest of your life together …"

"Ding dong!

Qin Yanling's resentment value + 1.

Current resentment value: 96. Affection value: 100! "

Hearing this, Qin Yanling's eyes darkened and became more and more deep and gloomy. Suddenly, he relaxed and looked at the officials below him. He said lazily and gently, "Before this, I was busy with state affairs and didn't choose an empress or concubine. Now that the world is settled, it's time to fill the harem and prolong my children."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the delicate young ladies were shining. They couldn't hold back their excitement and didn't have time to care about their previous panic. They were all shy and timid. Their small eyes flashed as they kept casting flirtatious glances at the emperor.

Most of the young women who were already married regretted it. They secretly blamed themselves for marrying too early and not being able to make it in time for tonight's concubine selection.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The officials all bowed and beamed with joy. After 13 years, His Majesty finally agreed to take concubines and decided to prolong his children. No matter what the reason was, it fulfilled one of their wishes!

Looking at them, Xiao Qingtang's heart ached. She clenched a corner of her sleeve and wiped away her tears. She tried to maintain her composure and sat obediently with a smile.

"Tang Tang, you won't leave until tomorrow anyway. Why don't you help me pick a few concubines first?"

When Qin Yanling's eyes swept over her, his expression was unfathomable. He leaned lazily on the chair and showed a faint playful attitude. "You know, I like women like you."

He suddenly raised his hand and brushed away a teardrop hanging on her chin. He looked at it carefully. The crystal clear teardrop was like the raindrops condensed in the early morning.

There was a sound of gasps!

Because he opened his mouth and licked the teardrop on his finger. His behavior was obviously elegant and dignified, but it was also extremely seductive.

Xiao Qingtang was stunned. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She saw the different gazes of the crowd and the jealous eyes of the noble ladies. She couldn't help but blush.

She straightened her face and suppressed the pain in her heart. She sincerely suggested, "Your Majesty, people like me are not good. Moreover, Your Majesty's vision is like a torch. It's better than mine."

"No, your vision is better.

You're just clumsy, but I'm blind. "Qin Yanling said lightly," Pick ten concubines for me. "

Xiao Qingtang was speechless.

Did he mean that she was clumsy and didn't like him, and he was blind to like her?

Seeing this, Qin Yanling raised his eyebrows and moved the tip of his nose childishly. He snorted softly, but his voice was so low that only she could hear it.

He slightly leaned forward. His voice was lazy and magnetic. His tone was not to be refuted. It was especially charming and dignified. "Unmarried ladies over 16 years old, step forward."

This expression and this tone were simply mesmerizing!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. A group of girls were enticed and hurried out.

There were some who had delicate features, some who were elegant and otherworldly, and some who were bright and moving. All of them were charming and had different styles. They bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!" In an instant, hundreds of flowers bloomed together, and the spring ripples spread out.

Xiao Qingtang's heart ached.

However, she had to endure the heartache and pick concubines for him with a smile. From now on, his heart and body would no longer belong to her. They would be occupied by other women.

"That's right."

She pointed at a young lady in a light yellow dress. Her hand trembled slightly. She gently moved it and pointed at another lady. "This one …"

[Ding dong!

Qin Yanling's resentment value + 2.

Current resentment value: 98. Affection value: 100.]

The young lady who was called was immediately overjoyed. Her joy was overflowing with words and expression. She subconsciously looked at the emperor.

However, Qin Yanling's face was cold and stern. She was so scared that her heart trembled.

["9, 98!"

666 She was so frightened that she almost couldn't breathe. "Don't provoke him anymore. Do you really want to fail the mission?"]

[Xiao Qingtang hesitated. In the end, she couldn't bear to leave the small dark room. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's bet!"

She was sure that Qin Yanling couldn't bear to part with her. He also couldn't bear to see her take concubines for him. He would definitely be furious.]

"That one is also not bad. Your Majesty can take her in as well." Xiao Qingtang pointed again. The selected ladies were all the best.

She was absolutely not selfish.

[Ding dong!

Qin Yanling's resentment value + 1.

Current resentment value: 99. Affection value: 100.]

Xiao Qingtang wasn't afraid of death. She continued to point at the beauties. "That one is also fine. And … Aiya!"

It turned out that Qin Yanling was furious. He carried her and coldly said, "Right Prime Minister, you can deal with her!"

"I … obey!" The Right Prime Minister complained incessantly.

According to the situation, tonight's concubine was bound to be a bubble.

"You, you let go of me!" Xiao Qingtang said anxiously. Her face flushed red and then turned pale.

["Little Dark Room ~" Xiao Qingtang was overjoyed and extremely excited. Her long-cherished wish came true. She was overjoyed.]

[666 She cast a sidelong glance at him and silently spat out a word: Scum!]

Qin Yanling's face was cold as he went straight to the bedroom.

The palace maids and bodyguards on both sides trembled and crawled on the ground.

Xiao Qingtang let out a soft cry and fell onto the bed. Before she could react, a warm body pressed down heavily on her. His voice was cold and his eyes were hazy and bloodthirsty. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Xiao Qingtang, I really want to kill you!"

She was stunned and didn't say anything.
