Chapter 218 You're Not Falling for Me, Are You?
Listening to Wang Lang's words, Queen Li Jia laughed.
Her smile was as warm as the sunshine. She smiled gently, with the corners of her lips raised, revealing her flawless white teeth, and it seemed as if the whole world was lit up.
Just when Wang Lang was stunned and immersed in it, Queen Li Jia spoke.
"Hel me up!"
Her voice was soft and gentle, but it revealed an unquestionable feeling.
Without any hesitation, Wang Lang subconsciously reached out to protect Queen Li Jia and helped her up, letting her lean on the soft quilt at the head of the bed.
Queen Li Jia frowned slightly, obviously she could still feel the pain.
This is also normal.
After all, her injuries were too serious, with fractures, wounds so deep that the bones could be seen, and serious damage to her internal organs.
Although the blood-replenishing pill can relieve pain, it is impossible to completely eliminate pain.
"Can I take my hands away now?"
Hearing this, Wang Lang gently took his right hand away from Queen Li Jia's shoulder with a little embarrassment.
Just when he wanted to speak and explain, Queen Li Jia's voice rang out again.
"From the beginning till now, you have been wearing a helmet and a mask, covering yourself up tightly. Are you, the Immortal Emperor, so ugly that you cannot face others?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lang became unhappy.
He stretched out his hand and moved it slightly, and took off the mask on his face. Then, he looked straight at Queen Li Jia and spoke.
"You are wrong. You can question my character, but you can never question my appearance. Handsome, suave, outshining the beautiful, that's me."
Facing Wang Lang's direct gaze, Queen Li Jia did not dodge at all.
She looked at Wang Lang briefly, then smiled and said, "Not bad, right? He looks acceptable."
"you……"
As soon as the word "you" came out of his mouth, Wang Lang stopped.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been misled and fooled. With just one sentence, he took off his mask and revealed his true face.
At this time, Queen Li Jia spoke again.
"How is your little wife at home?"
Hearing this, Wang Lang was shocked, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt relieved.
When he learned that Zhang San had guessed his identity, he wondered in his heart whether the empress of the Tang Dynasty had also known his identity.
After all, the emperor has ears and eyes all over the world. Not to mention small matters, she will definitely pay attention to major events like this one that concern the country's destiny at the first time.
When Wang Lang was about to go out to kill the monsters, he immediately checked the situation around his home.
After some investigation, he did not find anything unusual, nor did he find anyone monitoring his home, so he did not think about it any more.
I didn't expect that Queen Li Jia had already found out about me a long time ago.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Lang did not answer Queen Li Jia's words, but said directly: "Okay, let's not talk about those useless things. Just tell me directly, since you don't want to kill me, who is a great threat to your imperial power, then why do you want to see me?"
"You don't have a crush on me, do you?"
Having said that, Wang Lang looked up and down at Queen Li Jia with a somewhat obscene expression.
He did this on purpose.
From the beginning of the conversation, he seemed to be extremely passive and had been guided and controlled. Now he wanted to take the initiative.
Wang Lang looked Queen Li Jia up and down and had to say that she was so beautiful.
Wang Lang quickly made a comparison in his mind. Only then did he realize that this Queen Li Jia was definitely the most beautiful woman in his memory.
Zhou Kexin, Qi Manguli, and the princess Zhu Xiyue of the Ming Empire were all beautiful enough, but they were still slightly inferior to the empress Li Jia.
Queen Li Jia's face has clear lines and distinct features. Her eyes are bright, as if they are twinkling with stars. Her skin is so tender that it seems that water can be squeezed out of it.
Her figure is graceful and upright, and her voice is as refreshing as spring water. Her beauty is not only admirable, but also respectful. Her beauty is an art, and every detail is carefully carved. It is definitely a masterpiece of God.
Not only does she possess fairy-like beauty, her temperament is also not inferior to anyone else.
Her every move and every smile exudes confidence and composure. Her beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in her inner temperament. This temperament complements her beauty and is irresistible.
Her beauty is as beautiful as poetry and painting. Her face is like the beautiful scenery in landscape painting, which makes people linger.
Her temperament is like the mood in a lyric poem, which makes people intoxicated. Such a beauty does not need to be embellished with words, but can be deeply engraved in people's hearts at a glance, making people unable to extricate themselves.
"Yes, I am attracted to you."
"What?" Wang Lang exclaimed when he heard what Queen Li Jia said.
At this time, Queen Li Jia ignored Wang Lang's surprise and continued speaking.
"I don't need you to challenge my imperial power. It has long been in danger and could collapse at any time."
"The aristocratic families control the government. For the Tang Dynasty, their words are more effective than those of me, the empress. Factional struggles, exclusion of dissidents, and life-and-death struggles are common. The vassal states are separatist and regard the court as nothing. They cannot be beaten or scolded. We must be careful to guard against them and provide for them well."
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue to occur everywhere, and the people are living in hardship. Monster invasions also cause countless casualties every time. Natural disasters and monster invasions have long become a sign that I, the empress, am unjust and have angered the heavens. For this reason, I have issued the edict of apology three times. Tell me, how long can I remain the empress?"
Although she was asking a question, Queen Li Jia did not wait for Wang Lang to answer, but continued speaking.
"Now it's all right. Your appearance has given me a glimmer of hope. Regardless of whether you are the Immortal Emperor or not, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, you are the real Immortal Emperor who has descended to earth."
"As long as I marry you, no one will blame me for the natural disasters, monster invasions, and other disasters. At that time, I will change from a ruthless and incompetent ruler to a queen who is truly blessed by God."
"At the same time, you are very mysterious and powerful. From what I can see now, your martial arts or magic skills are already so high that ordinary people cannot reach them. At the same time, you also have special weapons, armor, and various elixirs. I think you must also know how to forge weapons, armor, and smelt elixirs."
