Chapter 406

The next day, Rong Rong woke up to the news that assassins had come to the palace and that Emperor Jianyuan had been attacked and wounded.

Rong Rong yawned slightly, and said nonchalantly, "So fast?"

"Isn't this what you wanted?" The cold voice was full of sarcasm.

A sudden force struck, and Rong Rong was knocked down onto the bed.

All the palace maids who were supposed to help Rong Rong get up and wash had disappeared, leaving only Rong Rong and the man on top of her.

It was Zhu Mingsi. He glared at Rong Rong through gritted teeth, and Rong Rong could even smell the blood emanating from him.

"Why aren't you dead?" Rong Rong asked with some regret and dissatisfaction.

Zhu Mingsi felt a lump in his throat; if anyone else had said those words, he would have strangled them on the spot.

"Such a beautiful woman utters such venomous words; I wonder if her lips taste spicy too?"

Without saying a word, Zhu Mingsi lowered his head and covered those red lips with his.

Rong Rong's eyes widened; she never expected Zhu Mingsi to be so direct.

Before she could even put up a fight, Zhu Mingsi had already conquered and seized territory.

Domineering and assertive, leaving no room for refusal.

The suggestive sound of water made one blush, but thankfully there was no one else in the room.

Zhu Mingsi only released Rong Rong when she was almost out of breath and about to suffocate.

Rong Rong breathed heavily, but her nose was filled with Zhu Mingsi's scent.

"Tsk, it's not spicy at all, and it's actually quite sweet. This is the first time I've ever seen such a fragrant little wildcat."

Zhu Mingsi suddenly buried his head in Rong Rong's shoulder and gently kissed her.

His large hands weren't exactly well-behaved either, lingering on Rong Rong's slender waist.

At this moment, Rong Rong had just woken up and hadn't had time to change her clothes. She was only wearing a thin, smooth undergarment, and Zhu Mingsi's hand was moving back and forth through the clothes.

Suddenly, at some point, his fingertips pierced through her clothes and touched Rong Rong's skin.

Rong Rong's body trembled slightly and stiffened. Zhu Mingsi also stood there, but his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Just as Zhu Mingsi was about to lose control, a voice rang out loudly.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Zhu Mingsi moved and stared intently at Rong Rong. Rong Rong blinked and smiled like a little fox.

"What? Aren't you going to run?"

Zhu Mingsi, who had intended to leave immediately, hesitated upon hearing this. His pride prevented him from bowing down to Xie Linyang in front of Rong Rong.

Rong Rong laughed even more happily. She reached out and put her arm around Zhu Mingsi's neck, and took the initiative to kiss the corner of Zhu Mingsi's lips.

The string of reason in his mind snapped instantly, and Zhu Mingsi eagerly returned the kiss, his movements intense.

As Xie Linyang stepped into the hall, he saw the two reluctant to part. His face twisted instantly. "You deserve to die!" He drew his sword and stabbed at Zhu Mingsi.

At the critical moment, Zhu Mingsi turned around to defend himself, and no one knows where he drew a sword from, and in the blink of an eye, the two were fighting.

Both were injured and the fight ended in a draw.

Xie Linyang quickly summoned the Xuanjia Guards, but Zhu Mingsi's secret guards also jumped out immediately.

The entire Yaoguang Palace was filled with the clash of swords and the fierce fighting among the crowd.

But everyone tacitly kept their distance from Rong Rong, fearing that she might be implicated.

Rong Rong wasn't afraid. She simply gathered her clothes and leaned against the headboard, watching everyone with great interest.

Moreover, feeling that the fight wasn't exciting enough, she shouted to Xie Linyang, "Brother Linyang, that bitch bullied me! Kill her quickly and avenge me!"

Xie Linyang's movements faltered, and he was instantly struck by Zhu Mingsi's sword. He quickly sped up his movements and pushed Zhu Mingsi back. His aura surged, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Zhu Mingsi, on the other hand, looked extremely pale. Although he hadn't been stabbed, he felt as if a huge hole had been punched in his heart.

"Wasn't Rong Rong just now actively clinging to me? Now she's turning her back on me?" Zhu Mingsi laughed loudly.

Xie Linyang instantly lost his rhythm, and Rong Rong stood up angrily, "You're talking nonsense! Humph! You bitch! I feel disgusted just looking at you, I wish you were dead!"

Rong Rong was cursing Zhu Mingsi, but she inadvertently drew everyone's attention to herself, followed by a gasp of surprise.

In fact, the Xuanjia Guards and Zhu Mingsi's secret guards had already noticed Rong Rong when they entered the hall, but they dared not look at her.

Firstly, they dared not act recklessly because of their masters.

Secondly, the new empress, Princess Zhaohua, was stunningly beautiful, so beautiful that they dared not defile her.

But now, everyone instinctively looked at Rong Rong.

Then, the entire room suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, staring wide-eyed in astonishment.

No one expected that Rong Rong was only wearing a thin undergarment, which clearly outlined her perfect and charming curves.

And that exposed, delicate, and flawless skin made one's mouth water.

With skin as white as ice and bones as blue as jade, her hairpin askew and her hair disheveled, her eyebrows arched and her teeth white, she was stunningly beautiful.

The beautiful woman was graceful and elegant, seemingly both enchanting and ethereal, as if she had devoured everyone's soul.

"Get out of my sight!" Xie Linyang roared in fury, swinging his sword wildly like a madman, no longer able to distinguish who was on his side.

Everyone was awakened, and the Xuanjia Guards dared not disobey, instantly flying away.

The guards of Prince Yi subconsciously looked at Zhu Mingqi, but when they met his sinister gaze, they all felt a chill in their hearts and dared not delay any longer, disappearing from the hall in the blink of an eye.

With no one else around, Xie Linyang swung his sword at Zhu Mingsi.

Zhu Mingsi glanced at Rong Rong one last time before flying out of the courtyard. Xie Linyang followed closely behind, leaving Rong Rong behind.

Rong Rong lay back down on the bed. She didn't care about the battle outside; she was just listening to the sounds of fighting and almost fell asleep.

I don't know how much time passed, but finally it became quiet outside, a quiet that was somewhat oppressive.

Then came the creaking sound of the door being pushed open, followed by a loud bang as it slammed shut.

The strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the entire palace.

Before Rong Rong could even open her eyes, a hoarse voice came first.

"You've fallen in love with him?"

Xie Linyang suppressed his anger, his fists clenched tightly. The old wounds from the morning, combined with the new ones, had left his clothes almost soaked in blood.

My body aches, but nothing compares to the pain in my heart.

Rong Rong ignored Xie Linyang, as if she were asleep.

"Why?" Xie Linyang roared in anger, unable to bear it any longer, and went to Rong Rong's bedside.

Rong Rong finally opened her eyes, her gaze calm and undisturbed.

The chill deeply stung Xie Linyang's eyes.

"Rong'er." Xie Linyang suddenly knelt down in front of the bed, his hands trembling as he touched Rong Rong's cheeks, his voice choked with sobs, "I have already admitted my mistake."

It was my fault! I'm guilty! I killed your parents! It was all my fault!

What will it take for you to forgive me?

Xie Linyang asked cautiously, with utmost humility.

He really didn't know what to do. He didn't want to face Rong Rong's indifference anymore. Rong Rong used to like him too.

Can feelings really change so easily?

The thought of Rong Rong and Zhu Mingsi kissing just now made Xie Linyang feel like he was going crazy, and he angrily questioned them.

Why is Zhu Mingsi allowed to do it? Why?

Why can he do it, but I can't?
