The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

Chapter 233 Happiness Comes Too Suddenly, The Little Palace Maid’S Counterattack!

Qin Mu remained silent all the way, his handsome face expressionless, sending chills down people's spines.

The young palace maid trembled, unable to lift her head, only able to bow her body and walk shakily at the front.

As she walked, she kept thinking to herself, why is this road so long, why haven't we reached the end yet...

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, hoping to arrive at the study room quickly.

But the more she thought this way, the more she felt that the road was incredibly long, as if it would never end. Every minute and every second felt like an eternity, making her feel uneasy.

Finally, she saw the door to the study room and breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could fully relax...

"Are you afraid of me?"

Qin Mu's cold voice suddenly entered the young palace maid's ears.

The young palace maid was scared out of her wits, almost crying.

She abruptly stopped in her tracks, knocked her head on the ground, and cried, "Your Majesty, spare me, I... I didn't..."

"Is that so? You're not afraid of me?" Qin Mu glanced at her with a faint gaze and continued speaking.

The young palace maid's body stiffened, standing still in place, kneeling on the ground in a daze.

In the next second, as if waking up from a dream, she quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no, no, I'm afraid, I'm terribly afraid of you. I... I didn't, how could I not be afraid of Your Majesty..."

The young palace maid's words were incoherent, sweat dripping from her forehead.

She was just an ordinary palace maid, never experiencing such a scene before.

Her delicate face turned pale, teeth chattering in fear, feeling weak all over, unable to move.

Looking at the young palace maid's terrified and uneasy appearance, Qin Mu curved his mouth, revealing a gentle smile.

"Get up."

The young palace maid tightly pursed her red lips, sweat forming on her forehead. She didn't understand what His Majesty wanted to do, so how could she dare to stand up?

"Your... Your Majesty, I have done wrong, please forgive me..."

The young palace maid trembled, her body still rigidly kneeling on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Because of fear, her voice sounded choked, delicate and weak.

Qin Mu smiled slightly and said softly, "If I tell you to get up, then you should get up."

The young palace maid shivered, quickly getting up and standing respectfully with her head lowered, her body still trembling slightly.

"Raise your head, let me see your face."

Qin Mu's tone was gentle and calm, without revealing any aura or pressure.

But the young palace maid trembled all over, feeling as if she was carrying a mountain on her shoulders, making it hard for her to breathe. She even felt like she would suffocate in the next moment.

The young palace maid tried to calm her emotions, slowly raising her face. Her tearful eyes looked timidly at Qin Mu, her face full of unease.

Only to see a pale oval face, fair and delicate skin, black and bright eyes, a straight and beautiful nose, cherry-red lips that seemed to be dripping, and a tear mole at the corner of her eye, giving off a unique charm.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, her face showing a fearful expression, coupled with her delicate appearance, it made people unable to help but feel pity.

Qin Mu's gaze was deep, staring at those beautiful eyes for a long time before slowly retracting his gaze, a faint smile hanging on his lips.

"What's your name?"

Being stared at by Qin Mu, the young palace maid suddenly felt her whole body stiffen, at a loss for what to do.

"Your... Your Majesty..."

"Hmm?" Qin Mu raised an eyebrow.

The young palace maid shivered, quickly answering, "Replying to Your Majesty, my surname is Qiu, and my given name is Ruo. Your Majesty can call me Ruor."

"Qiu Ruo..." Qin Mu pondered over this name for a moment, his smile growing wider. "Hmm, it's a very nice name."

If the child breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't know why the Emperor asked for her name, judging from the Emperor's expression, he shouldn't blame her.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. The child is honored..." The child quickly knelt down again, carefully speaking.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Get up."

Upon hearing this, the child dared to climb up from the ground and stood obediently aside, not daring to make a sound.

"Qiu Ruo..."

Qin Mu kept repeating this name, and suddenly asked, "Child, would you like to stay by my side and serve me?"

Qiu Ruo was stunned at the words, and then ecstatic.

"Yes! Of course I would! The child couldn't ask for more..." Qiu Ruo's face showed excitement as she spoke.

She was overjoyed in her heart. The Emperor was finally going to favor her...

During her time in the palace, she had been tormented enough by the deep palace and large courtyards. Every day, she lived in fear of other palace maids and was constantly punished by the concubines. It was simply unbearable.

Now, hearing that the Emperor wanted to bring her into the harem, she wished she could immediately strip off her clothes and express her loyalty to the Emperor.

She had finally endured it...

Qin Mu nodded slightly and looked at Qiu Ruo, saying, "Since that's the case, you will be responsible for serving me from now on."

"Yes, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Qiu Ruo was extremely excited.

Qin Mu smiled faintly and said in a calm tone, "Get ready to go to Unending Palace tonight."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ruo's face blushed instantly. She lowered her head and murmured softly, "Your Majesty... I understand..."

Unending Palace was the Emperor's sleeping quarters, and only the favored concubines could spend the night there.

And the fact that the Emperor asked her to prepare to go there tonight... did that mean...

Qiu Ruo felt her heart beating faster, and her cheeks were burning hot.

Happiness came too suddenly, catching her off guard.

"You may leave." Qin Mu waved his hand.

Qiu Ruo quickly retreated, feeling filled with happiness. As long as she could stay by the Emperor's side, even if she was just a lowly maid, it would be wonderful.

After Qiu Ruo left, Qin Mu turned and entered the study.

As soon as he stepped into the study, Qin Mu saw the National Teacher, Du Yulin, glaring at him with dead fish eyes, carrying a coffin on his shoulder, standing there with the posture of a resentful woman.

Qin Mu looked at him like this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said with a slightly teasing tone, "Oh, National Teacher, you have quite a unique look today, don't you?"

Du Yulin's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes towards Qin Mu were full of resentment.

He sighed, threw the coffin on his shoulder to the ground, and knelt down to pay his respects, saying, "The old minister pays respects to Your Majesty."

"Mm, rise." Qin Mu glanced at him, restrained his smile, and calmly responded. Then he sat on the dragon throne in the study.

After Du Yulin stood up, he sighed again, but did not speak. Instead, he looked sadly out the window.

After a long time, he said with a deep sense of melancholy, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't just focus on women. This will eventually ruin you."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have done so much for Great Qin, but there are countless Great Qin subjects, including courtiers, who say you are incompetent. Don't you care at all..."

Du Yulin turned his back to Qin Mu, with a sorrowful and heroic look.

Obviously, he also heard what Qin Mu said to Qiu Ruo just now, so he spoke up.

Qin Mu heard this and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Of course, those words he said just now were deliberately said for Du Yulin to hear, in order to maintain his image as a tyrant.

Now it seemed that it was very successful.
