<h4>Chapter 368 - Which husband could take threat like that?</h4>


    Li Xue looked at the old butler. No doubt she could feel the necessity of the situation just looking at his worried expression. Looking at him like that she could vouch on saying that he was someone really loyal to the royals, even though she has not even scratched the surface of his personality.


    But at this moment, knowing him was not the desideratum rather was someone''s life. For her, she was not considering her actions in the benefit of royals but the benefit of humanity. She was not saving the life of the King but the human who needs her blood to survive.


    Her eyes went to look back at the man, knowing that she should at least ask him once. Not to prove his dominance over her but to respect the care and love he showers on her, without asking anything in return.


    When felt her eyes on himself, Shufen also stared at her and knew what she was thinking. "My men will be here soon. You don''t have to worry. I am sure His Majesty has seen the worst situations in his life. He will surely be able to make it till then" He said effortlessly, without showing any sympathy to human life.


    To say that he was selfish was not a lie if the need was to protect his Li Xue in the scene. He would stake his everything for her, then showcasing his traits of persistent antisocial behaviour, impaired with empathy and remorse would be just a least of it.


    And was his show something new to this world? Wasn''t he already infamous for being the Satan, who despises both sympathy and empathy for others?


    Li Xue stared at him and sighed internally. Then looking at the old butler, she smiled and said, "As Shufen has said that his men will be soon here. You don''t have to worry, His Majesty will get fine soon. And …"


    Before she could get toplete her words, a soft, elegant yet authoritative voice came from the door. Though her words were intended to make a request, the tone used was not something that was known to beg.


    "We are here to ask for help and it was said in the ancient cultural books of Chiboa, that if someonees with a request then they should not be sent back empty-handed. That''s not something our ancestors have taught us. And as far as I have known, maintaining the culture and traditions of the country should not remain only on the part of us, The Royals, but some initiative should also be shown by the civilians".


    Thedy said as she slowly took her steps inside the room. Her every step was graceful and measured. Her lips had a frail smile and that does not look out of the situation rather out of habit practised all these years. Just by the way, she was carrying herself revealing the identity she must have been addressed within the Royal family.


    "Her Highness!"


    Both the aged butler as well as the bodyguard addressed cupping their hand slightly up at the front while bowing their head respectfully down to look at the floor.


    Li Xue looked at their gesture and was not astounded even a bit. She has read a lot about this gesture before and from the moment she has seen thedy at the door she has guessed her identity.


    When caught the eyes of the Queen on herself, Li Xue reciprocated the frail smile of hers with her own and then worded out respectfully, "Your Highness!" She paused after the greeting for some moment as she continued, "I never believed that our Chiboa has evercked in the stream of maintaining its culture. With the way how the royal family has taken the initiative to present our traditions and culture internationally, we can only appreciate it with the best"


    Li Xue thought the way she followed. She would always count the good before counting the bad. And she was well aware of the good and bad to point out at this situation.


    The Royal Queen''s eyes shined for a moment when heard her words. The first impression that she noted was the tone the youngdy used to present her words in front of her. That tone effectively rejected the air of superiority that she has tried to create, drawing the visible line between the royals and civilians, but at the same time did not show any disrespect towards her.


    "But I think that the Royals would lose that appreciation if they have small holes in their big pots of good deeds" Li Xue added with a smile that didn''t show any deep meaning behind.


    But it still made thedy''s brows arch up in askance. "Sorry! But could you care to exin my words? Maybe in the worry of my husband, I was not detailed about the previous scenario here" She asked, her eyes moving slowly to look between the aged man and the soldier of her team.


    "It''s nothing much, Your Highness. Just some ignorable rudeness of your bodyguard" Li Xue said, sending a small piercing gaze to the man dressed with royal dignity. "But then again the perceptions do vary person by person. Something that I can ignore is not necessary that my husband can ignore too".


    She said as her eyes darted to look at Feng Shufen all lovingly. Her arms getting wrapped around his. Her aim was not only to bring the knowledge to the Queen but was also to make her man agree to let her help.


    The Queen looked at the couple and smiled, though her smile had some different meaning behind. "Rudeness from my people?" She asked.


    And Li Xue''s attention instantly turned to her as she nodded, putting the seal of an agreement to it. "Of course, Your Highness! Do you think I could dare to lie in front of you? Or are you saying that being empathetic was my husband''s behavioural trait? If you believe that then you are highly mistaken." She said as her eyes again turned to shine at her Mr Beelzebub.


    "He is the best one out for me and has pampered me to an extent of no return. When he is rejecting my idea of donating blood to His Majesty, don''t you think he would have some reasons behind it?" she continued only to take a pause again.


    Her eyes staring at both the Queen and Feng Shufen, waiting to see if anyone of the two have something to say amidst. But when saw no replying, she added herst blow that would decide the end results of the show.


    "Though I don''t remember the exact words of your bodyguard from that time, I have clearly drawn the meaning behind it. His words have clearly implied that after helping His Majesty today, I would be a ved blood donating pig for the royals" She said, making theplexion of the bodyguard go pale.


    Though earlier the bodyguard had intended to say that, his words had never been that tant. How can he be that offensive when the man had such a dominative, daunting air over him? But now looking, the man was a lot easier than the woman. Was she digging a grave for him? He so wanted to beg her not to, but the shot of the arrow had already been made and there was no return now.


    "Do you think any man like my husband will be forgiving to anyone''s threat like this? Which doting husband will do that?" Li Xue maintained a in forgiving smile over her lips as the words rolled out effortlessly.
