Chapter 543 Guilty Dong Meier
Chapter 543 Guilty Dong Meier
Dong Meier lightly moved to Qin Hao's side, took his arm in an almost cuddling manner, and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, your fuss makes me feel a little confused. Are you making a big fuss?"
Qin Hao turned his head to look at her, his eyes were deep and complicated, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was a subtle meaning hidden in that smile: "Mei'er, what you said is wrong. In my heart, your lives are more important than anything else."
"I would rather believe it than not. If there is no assassin and everything is fine, I will be at peace. Don't you think this is the truth?"
When Dong Meir heard this, a barely perceptible panic flashed across her eyes, like ripples on the surface of a lake caused by the breeze, disappearing in an instant.
She knew very well that His Majesty's mind was unpredictable, and seeing that his decision could not be changed, she could do nothing about it.
Finally, she sighed softly, buried her subtle thoughts in her heart, chose to obey, and smiled softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern for me."
In less than half an incense stick of time, A Yue had led a group of heroic female guards and turned Linglong Palace upside down.
She came lightly to Qin Hao's side and whispered a few words in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
The expression on Qin Hao's face changed like the wind and clouds. In a flash, the anger that was about to burst out was deeply suppressed by his amazing willpower and turned into an imperceptible calmness.
He slowly turned around, his eyes gentle but with unquestionable strength, and whispered to Zhu Qiqi, Dong Sisi and others standing around him: "It's late at night, all the concubines and concubines, please go back to the palace to sleep. Tonight, I have decided to stay in Mei'er Palace and spend a good night together."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately added one more sentence, his tone full of comfort: "Don't worry, I have ordered the palace guards to be strengthened to ensure that every palace is safe. I will never let any of you get hurt."
As soon as these words were spoken, the heavy stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground. They smiled at each other, and were all relieved that it was just a false alarm.
Dong Sisi's gaze never left Dong Meir and Qin Hao's faces. She keenly caught the panic that flashed across Dong Meir's eyes, as well as the tremendous anger hidden beneath Qin Hao's seemingly calm words. She couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart.
After everyone left, Dong Sisi did not turn around and leave as Qin Hao had advised. Instead, she quietly approached Dong Meir and whispered in a soft voice with concern that could not be ignored: "Meier, is this matter... related to the assassin? Are you involved in any trouble?"
Facing Dong Sisi's question, Dong Mei'er's face turned pale. She clenched the corner of her clothes nervously, and her voice trembled slightly: "Aunt, I... I didn't do that, but there is indeed another hidden story. Later, if His Majesty is furious, you must find a way to excuse me."
When she said this, a hint of pleading flashed in her eyes, as if she had placed all her hopes on Dong Sisi.
"Is there any other hidden secret? If you don't tell me clearly, how can your aunt excuse you?" Dong Sisi asked hurriedly with anxiety and confusion in her eyes.
Dong Meir's heart trembled, and she felt it was difficult to speak. Before she could confide in Dong Sisi, an even colder voice was heard.
"Close the door. From this moment on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Linglong Palace without my order. Anyone who disobeys my order will be charged with the crime of disobeying my order and will be killed without mercy!" Qin Hao exuded chills all over his body as he gave orders coldly.
Dong Meir's heart tightened, as if a cold wind had blown straight into her heart. She sighed secretly, "What is coming cannot be avoided after all."
At this moment, she seemed to have a feeling in her heart that the gears of fate had quietly turned, pushing her into an unpredictable situation, and she was afraid that the Dong family would also be implicated.
Dong Sisi frowned slightly when she heard that, a trace of worry quietly crept into her heart. She keenly caught the cold murderous aura that Qin Hao inadvertently revealed, and secretly wondered in her heart: Could it be that her niece has committed some terrible disaster again, and even angered the emperor?
She slowly walked to Qin Hao's side, her voice soft but with concern that could not be ignored: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important, please calm down. Auntie dares to ask you to drink a cup of tea first to calm your anger, so as not to hurt the holy body."
Qin Hao rejected Dong Sisi's kindness, and then a cold smile appeared on his lips. There was a chill in that smile. He said lightly: "Dong Taifei, it's not that I don't give you face, but this matter concerns the state system, which is of great importance."
"You should first ask your good niece what disrespectful act she has secretly planned behind my back."
Dong Mei'er heard this, and a strange color flashed in her autumn-water eyes, but she pretended to be calm and tried her best to deny it: "Your Majesty, I am innocent as water. How could I have done anything wrong, and I have never done anything to let you down?"
Seeing this, Qin Hao became even more furious. He raised a cold smile and pressed forward step by step. His slender fingers suddenly grabbed her delicate neck, and his voice was as cold as winter ice: "I have given you so many chances. If you don't cherish them, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Now, you have to think carefully. Do you want to confess yourself, or do you want me to find someone to help you?"
Dong Meir was in a panic. She didn't understand which link had given her away and put her in such a situation.
She tried hard to maintain her superficial weakness, as if she was really in pain from suffocation, tears rolled down her eyes, and she pleaded pitifully: "Your Majesty, I am innocent... You are strangling me so hard that I can't breathe... cough cough..."
Before she finished speaking, she was already sobbing. The grievance and helplessness she felt seemed to melt the ice in one's heart in an instant.
However, in Qin Hao's eyes, her charming charm was like a dark and twisted white lotus, which made him feel extremely sick!
"Pa!" A crisp and loud slap, like a thunder that broke the silence, mercilessly fell on Dong Meir's once proud, exquisite and flawless face.
The force of this blow was so heavy that she staggered and finally fell to the ground helplessly. A glaring five-finger mark instantly appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
Qin Hao's face was ashen, and he was burning with anger. Every word he said was like a knife, piercing people's hearts: "Dong Mei'er, do you really think I'm a fool and let you manipulate me? I'll give you one last chance. Confess everything. Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between husband and wife."
His voice was low and powerful, and every word contained the inviolable majesty and determination of an emperor, making the air around him tremble.
