Chapter 221 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger
"Don't be afraid, you are my wife, and I will treat you well." Mo Ling comforted Ah He softly.
"Now it's just you and me. I call you Madam, what should you call me?"
Ah He: ...
Poor Ah He, who had almost no emotional experience, couldn't resist the teasing of this bad guy Mo Ling.
Ah He lowered his head, not daring to look at Mo Ling at all. His cheeks turned red with shame, and even his neck was stained red. He moved his lips, but no sound came out.
Mo Ling smiled, his voice a little hoarse: "Madam, can you call me husband?"
Ah He opened his mouth, but couldn't say such an embarrassing name. Although Mo Ling was indeed good-looking, he and Mo Ling had no emotional foundation and were almost strangers.
That day Ming Qing suddenly moved him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and told him that as long as he waited for a month, he would become the queen.
He didn't believe it at first, but after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found out that the emperor had actually come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to propose marriage and wanted to marry Lu He as his queen.
After he was brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Prime Minister Lu and Princess Lan Shu, they opened the ancestral hall the next day and entered him into the family tree. His name on the tree was Lu He.
If he really became the queen, it would be considered that he had fulfilled the landlord's order, but he was not happy. He lived like a floating duckweed, drifting without support, and could only go with the flow.
He knew that the person His Majesty wanted to marry was Ming Qing, not him. Just because of this, he could not convince himself to accept the position of Queen without hesitation.
Ming Qing stayed with him for three days and told him everything about his relationship with His Majesty, including how he met His Majesty before, how he became His Majesty's noble son, and how he almost died at His Majesty's hands.
The day before his wedding, Princess Lanshu held his hand and told him that Her Majesty was not a good man and that he must tell her if he was wronged.
His mother died early, and his father was born very well. After his mother died, he was married into a family and became a son-in-law. No one wanted him and his younger brother, so he sold himself so that his younger brother could go to school.
His original surname was Shen, and his name was Shen Ci. His younger brother was called Shen Heng. His father told him that his grandfather seemed to be a high-ranking official, and that he had promised to go back to pick up his grandmother, but he never did.
Everyone said that his grandfather had changed his mind and looked down on his village grandmother, but what he heard were all rumors and it was hard to tell whether they were true or not.
He liked Princess Lanshu very much and always felt that she was very kind, and so did Mingqing.
"What are you thinking about?"
Mo Ling's eyes fell on Ah He's face, and he asked with some dissatisfaction, "On your wedding night, Qing Qing wasn't thinking about him, so what was she thinking about?"
Ah He smiled shyly: "Nothing, just some past events."
"Don't think about it. You can only think about me."
Ah He raised his eyes and looked at Mo Ling. Whether he was willing or not, he was now the Queen of Dai Viet. If Ah Di really passed the imperial examination in the future, perhaps he could be of some help.
After thinking it through, Ah He smiled at Mo Ling with a deep look in his eyes: "Okay."
Mo Ling couldn't help but be attracted to Ah He. He inexplicably felt that Qing Qing was particularly alluring today, like a fairy in a storybook, with every move full of charm.
Mo Ling's eyes were blurred, intoxicated by the illusion, when Ah He put his arms around his neck and whispered in Mo Ling's ear: "Your Majesty, the night is long, let's go to sleep."
Mo Ling looked at the person in front of him steadily, then slowly leaned over as if to kiss Ah He.
A hint of reluctance flashed across Ah He's eyes, but he suppressed it.
Just as their lips were about to meet, Mo Ling suddenly opened his eyes, pushed Ah He away, with shock and anger in his eyes.
This person is not Qingqing!
Mo Ling's eyes suddenly widened. Not like Qingqing at all!
"You are not Qingqing! Who are you!"
Ah He was pushed by Mo Ling and hit the edge of the bed. There was a look of confusion and grievance on his face, and tears fell down.
"Your Majesty, I am Ah He."
Mo Ling's eyes fell on Ah He's tears and paused for a moment. He suddenly took a few steps back, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"No, you are not! Ah He is my lover, and you are not!"
Ah He didn't understand why. Although the collision was a bit painful, he was used to swallowing all the grievances. He just repeated: "I am Ah He."
Mo Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at Ah He carefully from head to toe. This person is not right, definitely not his lover!
"How dare you! Where did you hide my queen?"
Ah He looked at the furious Mo Ling, feeling shocked and scared. His Majesty had just been speaking to him gently and caringly, but now he was like an angry lion, wishing to eat him alive.
He had thought the rumors were untrue before, but now it seems that it is indeed true and His Majesty is really not a good man.
It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Only now did he realize the emperor's capricious mood.
No wonder Ming Qing said that when Your Majesty likes the stars in the sky, Your Majesty will find ways to pick them down.
But once Your Majesty suspects him, no amount of explanation will be enough.
Ah He shrank back, closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face: "Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, I am Ah He."
"You still want to lie to me!"
The gentleness in Mo Ling's eyes disappeared without a trace, leaving only disgust and anger.
"You are not him, he won't do this! He is not afraid of me at all, and he won't use any means against me!"
"Don't think I don't know. You must have done something to me just now! But Qingqing will never do that. This is the difference between you two! Although you pretend to be very similar to him, your personalities and temperaments are completely different. You are not him at all!"
Mo Ling slammed his palm on the table, scaring Ah He so much that he shook violently. His tears slid down onto the quilt, soon wetting a large area of it.
Your Majesty recognized that he was not Mingqing. He had been with Mingqing for three days and had been imitating Mingqing, but he did not expect that Your Majesty recognized him in less than a day.
But he is Ah He and has always been Ah He.
"Your Majesty, I am really Ah He. If you don't believe me, you can call someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion to identify me."
"Still quibbling! Why did you replace my queen? Where did you hide him? Tell me and I can spare your life!"
Mo Ling's face turned pale, and he became furious when he thought about how he almost spent his wedding night with this unknown person.
As early as when he carried her onto the float, he had vaguely felt that something was not right, but he always thought it was because his little queen was shy because of their wedding today.
I didn't expect that someone would actually switch his little queen! His beloved must be in the hands of this person now. He deliberately used a fake to deceive him. Did he think he couldn't recognize her?
No matter how much they resemble each other, this person will never be his beloved!
Ah He kept shaking, and his originally rosy lips turned a little dark blue. He cried even harder, but the person in front of him was extremely cold and didn't care at all.
"I didn't! I have always been Ah He! I don't know why Your Majesty said that about me, but I am Lu He!"
Fortunately, Mingqing’s people have been training his courage over the past few months, otherwise he would be so scared that he wouldn’t even be able to speak!
Mo Ling took a few steps forward and pulled Ah He down, clasping Ah He's neck with both hands, his voice as cold and eerie as if it came from hell.
"I don't have the patience to argue with you. Tell me, where is your lover? Otherwise, I will kill you right now!"
Ah He's breathing became increasingly difficult. How did he know where Ming Qing was?
He hasn't seen Mingqing for more than half a month. How does he know where Mingqing has gone?
Ah He's consciousness became increasingly blurred. He even thought that it would be better to die. After death, he would not be used as a pawn by others and he could go see his mother.
Thinking of this, Ah He even had a smile on his face.
Mo Ling was furious and kept tightening his fingers. Ah He even rolled his eyes. When he was about to be strangled to death, a palm wind suddenly attacked from behind Mo Ling, forcing him to let go of Ah He.
