The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Yunzhu and Yunying also smelled it, and unsurprisingly, it was meat.

At this moment, Li Degui suddenly came out from inside, smiled and pointed into the room, lowering his voice, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived."

Qi Yitang was overjoyed and couldn't wait to push the door open and go in.

Then I saw Xie Ling sitting at the table, with seven or eight dishes laid out in a row on the opposite table—all of them meat!

Qi Yitang was immediately moved to tears, "Yanzhi, you've finally come to my rescue! You have no idea how I've been these past few days!"

Her pitiful appearance softened Xie Ling's heart, and he smiled slightly, reaching out to hug her. However, Qi Yitang's mind was only on the meat on the table, and she walked past him to sit down and picked up her chopsticks.

When her embrace fell empty, Xie Ling reluctantly withdrew her hand, but her eyes were full of doting affection.

"I've come here to give you special treatment."

Qi Yitang picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and was about to put it to her mouth when she suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"It seems like we can't eat meat in the temple, so... isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

In the pure and tranquil Buddhist monastery, the Empress Dowager and everyone else were quietly drinking porridge; there was no reason for her to be an exception.

That's extremely offensive.

Qi Yitang reluctantly tried to put the meat back, but Xie Ling said, "It's vegetarian."

"Vegetarian?" Qi Yitang took a bite with some skepticism. It looked like meat and tasted like meat, but it lacked the greasiness of meat and was very refreshing.

What amazing meat!

[The villain is so considerate; knowing his wife was craving something, he just delivered it right to her door. A man like that deserves a wife.]

[Are you only craving braised pork, not the person's body?]

[Hey, why are you always involved in these prostitution raids? Come back to Orange with me and write a self-criticism.]

"Eat slowly," Xie Ling said, while her hands kept piling food onto her plate.

Qi Yitang ate what was in her bowl while eyeing what was on her plate, mimicking the comments in the live stream, "Don't talk yet, I can't keep up."

The way they wolfed down their food stunned Li Degui. Could it be that the vegetarian meat was even better than that from the imperial kitchen?

Then she turned to look at the emperor, propping her chin up with one hand, not eating herself, but just staring at him intently.

Li Degui didn't understand, but he respected.

It's no wonder, though. With the Empress away from the palace, His Majesty is like a lost soul, dealing with state affairs day and night. Now that he's finally done with his work and found his wife, he can't help but look at her with great affection.

Qi Yitang divided the dishes in half with Yunzhu and Yunying, and then almost devoured the rest to make up for the "emptiness" she had felt these past few days.

"call……"

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she belatedly asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Xie Ling's gaze softened. "Watching Tangtang eat, I'm already full."

The atmosphere was incredibly sweet, but the comments section was anything but quiet, with one comment saying, "[Oh my god, he's provoking you! He's implying that seeing you is enough, he doesn't even need to eat!]"

I am leaving; why didn't you tell me sooner?

[Shockingly new release! Thank you so much, strategist! If it weren't for your guidance, I would have been in a relationship long ago.]

Qi Yitang blinked. Xie Ling probably... didn't mean that, right?

[Don't mess with honest people. The female supporting character isn't very bright to begin with; what if she takes it seriously?]

Qi Yitang was embarrassed. Once was enough. Why did they always mock her for being brainless?

snort!

Xie Ling reached out her hand, "What has Tangtang been doing these past few days? Are you tired?"

"Listen to the master chanting sutras, eat vegetarian meals, continue listening to the master chanting sutras, continue eating vegetarian meals..." Full and exhausted, Qi Yitang leaned against him. "You didn't see it, there wasn't a speck of oil in it!"

"No wonder your face looks so thin." Xie Ling cupped her hand in his palm. "I should have come sooner."

Qi Yitang: "You're the emperor, so busy. How can I keep you by my side all the time? By the way, I went to the Marriage Tree to pray the other day. Guess what I wrote?"

Xie Ling asked, "Is there a reward for guessing correctly?"

Qi Yitang's eyes flickered. "Perhaps."

"Yanzhi and I will be bound together for all eternity," Xie Ling recited word for word.

Qi Yitang was stunned. "How did you know?"

She knew Xie Ling was very smart, but this was beyond what intelligence could explain—it was even more accurate than the worms in her stomach.

Xie Ling took something out of his sleeve; it was the wooden plaque that had been split in two.

"How did this end up in your hands?" Qi Yitang asked in surprise. "And why is it cracked?"

It was perfectly fine when she had it, how did it become like this?

Looking at the wooden sign that had been deliberately broken, Xie Ling's eyelashes were dark, and from an angle where Qi Yitang couldn't see, a gloomy aura spread through her.

"Perhaps the wind was too strong, and it was blown down and broke. I will accompany you to hang another one tomorrow."

Qi Yitang, without suspicion, nodded.

Xie Ling then asked, "Would you like to go for a walk?"

"Now?"

"Hmm. The host said there's a clear spring on the back mountain. It's so hot and humid today, I've been sweating a lot, so I'd like to go soak in it for a while."

Qi Yitang knew that Xie Ling was prone to heatstroke, so he often took cold showers in the palace. In addition, the dragon robe was made of thick material, which made it even more uncomfortable to wear in the hot weather.

Besides, she had eaten too much earlier and wanted to go out for a walk to digest, so she readily agreed.

Just before setting off, Xie Ling said, "I'm going to change into civilian clothes."

"it is good."

Qi Yitang waited while sipping tea, never expecting that the "plainclothes officer" Xie Ling had mentioned would actually be...

Qi Yitang was dumbfounded, speechless, and prostrated himself in repose, waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Something strange seemed to have gotten mixed in, but it didn't matter, because Xie Ling was dressed in women's clothing!

【？？】

[Oh my god, what is the villain up to?]

[You know what, you really have to admit, as expected of someone with a model-like face, she doesn't look bad even in women's clothing.]

Qi Yitang was just glad she hadn't drunk any water, otherwise she would have spat it out.

Why are you dressed like that?

Xie Ling's women's clothing was still in the style of a palace maid. In fact, the palace maid's clothing in this dynasty was not ugly. It was a combination of moon white and light smoky blue, with the skirt reaching her ankles and just revealing the tips of her shoes when she walked.

However, his imposing figure, with a wasp waist and broad back, looked incredibly incongruous, like...

Tall and strong men and women.

But Xie Ling remained calm and composed, saying, "I don't want others to see us. Besides, doesn't Tangtang think this makes the affair even more exciting?"

Qi Yitang covered her face tremblingly. Why would they have an affair when they were being legitimate?

But then she thought again that Qin Lianyue had become quite arrogant lately. If she knew that Xie Ling had come to Baohua Temple but didn't go to her place, she would definitely be dissatisfied and would then add fuel to the fire in front of the Empress Dowager. It was better to keep a low profile.

Even after trying to convince herself, Qi Yitang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Under Xie Ling's silent gaze, Qi Yitang stopped smiling and instead pursed her lips and chuckled, "Shall we wait until it gets a little darker before we go out?"

If they were seen by acquaintances, they would think that the two of them had some kind of perverted fetish.
