Fu Yu's fingers traced across Xiao Yuchen's face, finally touching his thin lips.

"You're being naughty. Naughty children who lie don't get rewards."

She stared at him intently.

Suddenly, he lifted his chin, his fingertips digging deep into his flesh.

It was like being cut with a dull knife, one cut after another. It didn't hurt, but it was enough to awaken the hidden excitement within Xiao Yuchen.

“Ayu.”

Xiao Yuchen's breathing became inexplicably rapid, as if he had been holding back to the extreme. He raised his hand, wanting to interlock his fingers with Fu Yu's.

Fu Yu coldly avoided him and removed the tassel from under his crown.

Her dark hair fluttered in the wind, spreading out in a loose style.

It's like a top-notch Chinese ink painting unfolding before your eyes.

Fu Yu used a ribbon to tie Xiao Yuchen's hands, the crimson rope tightening fiercely around his pale skin.

It left behind bright red marks.

Fu Yu's eyes darkened slightly.

A ruthless and decisive tyrant in front of outsiders, whose word is law.

In front of her, however, his eyes were filled with tears as he repeatedly and with a hurt and sinister tone begged her to love his man more.

This contrast is truly captivating.

Fu Yu stepped barefoot on his dragon robe, slowly lifting the almost-loose hem, "If you don't tell the truth, all a bad kid will get is toying with you."

After saying that, Fu Yu stomped hard on his tense muscles.

Xiao Yuchen curled his lips into a smile, his slightly hoarse breathing carrying a secret pleasure.

If he could be treated like this every day, he would rather be an utterly wicked villain.

To make it easier for Fu Yu to step on him, Xiao Yuchen slowly knelt in front of her, his bound hands carefully supporting Fu Yu's calves.

Their sticky gazes met Fu Yu's amused gaze.

"If I don't tell, can Ayu be even harsher on me?"

After saying that, he leaned down and lightly brushed his nose against Fu Yu's calf.

Just as he was about to kiss him, Fu Yu kicked him down with her calf.

Did I give you permission to kiss me?

A long plume of hot steam shot up from the top of the system.

That's way too much.

It took out a tissue and plugged its bleeding nostrils, then quietly turned up the volume.

Come on, let the storm rage on!

It is no longer a young and ignorant little system; its tiny head is filled with the yellowish knowledge of human nature.

You only live once, and you're not interested in lust. How are you?

It was completely assimilated by Fu Yu.

Xiao Yuchen's throat was unbearably dry, as if all the moisture in his body was about to evaporate.

His dark eyes looked down at Fu Yu's soft lips.

"I was wrong."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yu walked behind him and slid her fingertips up his spine.

“From the very beginning, you never intended to kill Pei Jingheng with your own hands. You deliberately let Empress Dowager Yu finish him off…”

"Just because Pei Jingheng is the illegitimate son born to Empress Dowager Yu and a servant of the Yu family, right?"

Xiao Yuchen closed his eyes contentedly.

"Ayu, you can't hide anything from me."

Living in the inner palace, how could Empress Dowager Yu be content to have no children?

She originally intended to get the late emperor drunk to create the illusion that she would be his concubine.

Unexpectedly, even when she was so drunk she was almost unconscious, the late emperor refused to touch her and dragged his drunken body to find Consort Xu.

In the end, a palace maid intercepted the offer.

That palace maid was none other than Xiao Yuchen's birth mother.

Fate is a very strange thing.

The baby boy born to the palace maid became, after many twists and turns, the nominal son of Empress Dowager Yu.

The imposter who attempted to switch the prince with a cat was plotting a rebellion, but ultimately died at the hands of his own mother.

It's all about timing, luck, and fate.

Xiao Yuchen curled his lips into a condescending and mocking smile.

"If she can be content to be the Empress Dowager, I might reluctantly spare Pei Jingheng's life."

"It's all because she was too greedy."

Xiao Yuchen lazily opened his eyes, "It's her fault for being ruthless in action but not in heart."

Xiao Yuchen smiled and stood up, approaching Fu Yu step by step.

"Ayu, I'm really bad. Would you like me like this?"

Fu Yu slowly hooked the ribbon and pulled the man in front of her.

"Of course, I love your cold, cruel, and tyrannical appearance the most."

The system nodded in agreement.

"Fu Yu and you are the same kind of people. You two are birds of a feather and a perfect match."

Before the words were even finished, the system felt a heavy punch to the back of its head.

Xiao Yuchen's breath hitched for a moment.

For the first time, the rotten flesh hidden deep in my heart is recognized, cherished, and loved.

He gazed down at her face with reverence and pulled her into his arms.

A torrent of passionate kisses rained down upon him, as if he wanted to meld the woman in his arms into his very bones.

"Xiao Yuchen".

Fu Yu pressed her hand against his impatient lips and said in a hoarse voice, "No."

In the dim candlelight, her pupils shimmered with tiny lights.

"Go and summon the imperial physician."

Several imperial physicians received the imperial order and immediately rushed to His Majesty's bedchamber.

As soon as I entered, I saw the nail scratches on Xiao Yuchen's cheeks and chest, the bitten corner of his mouth, and the deep red marks on his wrists.

Tsk tsk tsk.

That's a really big game.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take the Empress's pulse!"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician, who specialized in treating women, quickly got up and ran to Fu Yu's bedside.

After taking his pulse for a moment, he immediately knelt down with his hands clasped in front of him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress! Heaven truly blesses our Great Li."

Xiao Yuchen snapped out of his daze.

His Ayu is pregnant with their child.

Xiao Yuchen could hardly believe it; did he really deserve such happiness?

Aside from reviewing memorials and attending court, Xiao Yuchen stayed by Fu Yu's side.

If Fu Yu felt even slightly unwell, Xiao Yuchen would immediately be on high alert and summon the imperial physician for a consultation.

Later, he felt that the Imperial Hospital and Kunning Palace were too far apart, so he arranged for several female doctors to live in Kunning Palace to take care of Fu Yu.

However, in the later stages, it wasn't just Fu Yu who needed care.

And Xiao Yuchen.

Because he started experiencing morning sickness.

They can't stand any fishy, ​​sweet, or sour smells; the slightest movement will make them vomit violently.

She had lost a lot of weight and her face was paler than before.

Even so, he still insisted on taking care of Fu Yu personally, handling everything himself, big or small.

I couldn't bear to see Fu Yu suffer even a little bit.

Ten months later, Fu Yu gave birth to a prince.

Two years later, Fu Yu gave birth to a princess.

...

Time flies, and the two children have grown up.

Prince Xiao Fuxuan was named Crown Prince, while Princess Xiao Yuying would occasionally travel the world with her father and mother.

Xiao Fuxuan also wanted to go, but his father, Emperor Xiao Yuchen, said that he was the Crown Prince and bore the responsibility for the Li Dynasty and its people.

The overall situation should be prioritized, and someone else should take over the management of the government.

Pshaw, Xiao Fuxuan doesn't believe Xiao Yuchen's nonsense!

Even though the Grand Tutor said that his father was the most virtuous monarch of the Le Dynasty, possessing both the ruthless methods of a tyrant and outstanding strategies.

But in Xiao Fuxuan's eyes, his father was a pervert who would stick to his mother every day, shamelessly asking for kisses, always saying things he couldn't understand, and occasionally taking off his shirt and kneeling in front of his mother.
