Chapter 321 The Queen is so charming 50
The autumn dusk deepened, and a slight chill permeated the surrounding air. Qiu Muliang's originally bright eyes now seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and became several degrees darker.
His voice was unconsciously tinged with a hint of grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He said, "How could it be... It's clearly you, Your Majesty... who don't like me."
He seemed to have used up all his strength to say this sentence with difficulty. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head like a frightened deer, not daring to look up to look directly into Hua Fangfei's eyes.
When Hua Fangfei heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, and her tone was clearly filled with doubt and confusion: "When did I ever say that I don't like you saying this?"
When Qiu Muliang heard Hua Fangfei's question, the desolation in his voice grew even stronger, like the last yellow leaf falling in late autumn. He spoke in a lonely and desolate voice, "I know that Your Majesty is of noble status, so it's not easy for you to directly express your dislike for me. I am just a humble person, how could I dare to hope to gain Your Majesty's favor? I know that I am not worthy of being compared with Your Majesty, let alone having such unrealistic fantasies."
Hua Fangfei felt more and more confused as she listened to Qiu Muliang's series of self-pitying words.
She just responded normally, but how could Qiu Muliang come up with so many nonsense ideas?
So, she explained somewhat helplessly, "I've never really disliked you. On the contrary, I've always had a good impression of you. Okay, get up quickly. It's not proper to kneel all the time."
"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's orders."
Qiu Muliang responded respectfully, then slowly stood up.
However, just where Hua Fangfei's gaze could not reach, Qiu Muliang's mouth corners rose slightly, almost imperceptibly, outlining a smile of determination, as if everything was under his control.
"Your Highness, are you serious about your love for me?"
Qiu Muliang's narrow and long phoenix eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the other's beautiful face to see his true inner thoughts. His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of uncertainty and expectation, and he asked again.
The woman called "Niangniang" smiled faintly, as charming as a blooming spring flower. She opened her red lips and said, "Of course. Chief Steward Qiu is not only as handsome as Pan An, but also extremely capable. Why wouldn't I like you?"
Hearing this, Qiu Muliang finally felt relieved. A look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly said, "In this case, I am relieved..."
However, before he could finish his words, the lady suddenly changed the subject and her expression became serious.
"But this time I came here, I do have something I want to discuss with you." Hua Fangfei stared at Qiu Muliang with her beautiful eyes and said straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, please tell me what you want to say. I will do my best to obey your orders."
Hua Fangfei asked, "Do you know what your master Su Xie has been busy with recently?"
Qiu Muliang was stunned when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and answered truthfully, "Your Majesty, I just returned to the palace today. I really don't know anything about Master's whereabouts."
Hua Fangfei frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. She snorted coldly, "Then let me tell you! Recently, your master has been frequently serving Shangguan Yu. I'm sure there must be some unspeakable secret between them. In my opinion, most of what they said was probably detrimental to me."
Being bad for Hua Fangfei is bad for the Hua family. Why would the Hua family upset Shangguan Yu?
Naturally, a tall tree attracts the wind, and great achievements frighten the master.
In a moment, Qiu Muliang figured out the key.
When a family's power and influence become too great, it inevitably draws the vigilance and fear of those in higher positions. Perhaps it was the Hua family's recent dominance that had caused Shangguan Yu's secret dissatisfaction.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible glint flashing in them, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Then, Madam, what do you want me to do?"
