Chapter 169 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (36)

Xia Lingxiao had always thought that she was just a woman, how could she be compared with this vast and boundless land?

Since inheriting the throne, the affairs he has needed to deal with have become more numerous and complicated than when he was the crown prince.

But after dealing with so many complicated and trivial matters every day, he rubbed his eyebrows, but what always appeared in his mind was that pair of eyes as clear as springs.

However, whenever they met, those beautiful eyes were always filled with panic and deliberate alienation and avoidance.

When...will it become the same trust and dependence as when facing Huo Tingye?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Xia Lingxiao fell into silence, and then placed the memorial in his hand heavily aside.

He knew very well that something had broken into his world, making him different from the cold-blooded and impeccable prince he had been at the beginning.

But it was during this period of time that Huo Tingye was able to take Qingwu to travel around and enjoy himself.

Whenever he heard news about the two of them, Xia Lingxiao's heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of sharp blades, causing unbearable pain. However, he could not control himself from listening to every little detail about them with jealousy.

In this way, three long and painful years passed.

Those were three extremely torturous years for him.

The invasion of the barbarians in the north became increasingly rampant and the situation became increasingly serious, which caused panic among the people in the court.

However, for him who had been waiting for an opportunity, this crisis turned out to be an excellent opportunity.

He was finally able to legitimately send Huo Tingye to lead an army to resist foreign enemies, thereby completely driving this thorn in his side out of the capital.

Then - he couldn't wait a moment and took Qingwu into the palace.

And now, this is his bedroom, and Qingwu is sleeping on his dragon bed.

So, on the dragon bed—

She will also be his woman.

Since I've been thinking about it for three years, I have to get it.

The jade belt belonging to the emperor around his waist was gently untied, and the gorgeous dragon robe on his body also loosened, revealing the bright yellow inner garment underneath.

Qing Wu's expression suddenly turned into panic. "Your Majesty!"

Her voice trembled, as if she wanted to awaken the person in front of her.

She seemed to be reminding Xia Lingxiao, and also seemed to be encouraging herself.

"I am Huo Tingye's wife. I am already married. I don't belong to you!"

"Getting married..."

Faced with Qingwu's resistance, at this moment, Xia Lingxiao's mouth curled up into a smile, which seemed to be doting, but also seemed to be mocking.

It is meaningful, yet irresistible.

"Yes, Awu, so didn't I give you and Huo Tingye three years?"

He spoke softly, his tone as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"Three years, I've endured enough."

"Everything in the world belongs to me, and so do you. So what if we're married? As long as I want, you can still become my queen."

Qing Wu listened to the man's increasingly crazy words and watched him approach step by step, as if locking onto prey, his tone full of temptation.

"All women in the world dream of becoming queen. My Awu, don't you ever hope to be the mother of the country?"

"You will become the most noble woman in this world. I will give you everything, and what I give you will definitely far exceed what Huo Tingye can provide."

After saying this, he seemed unable to endure it any longer, and finally got his wish and hugged the beautiful woman he had been thinking about day and night in his arms.

Those delicate and tempting red lips were instantly invaded, and the rich scent of ambergris penetrated into every breath of Qingwu.

It was as if the ribs that had been missing for a long time had finally returned to his chest, and Xia Lingxiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

This unprecedented feeling of fulfillment completely overwhelmed him. Even a man with a heart as hard as iron became soft at this moment.

Huo Tingye...is he also obsessed with Qingwu?

"Zi Jin, call me Zi Jin. Ah Wu, I like to hear you call me Zi Jin."

He muttered incoherently, but his hands never stopped moving.

A hint of deep helplessness quietly slipped across Qingwu's beautiful and moving eyes.

This Xia Lingxiao is really immersed in the role too deeply.

However, she didn't intend to just accept it.

At this moment, a strong smell of blood slowly spread in her mouth.

Xia Lingxiao couldn't help but be startled. He raised his head slightly and stared at the pitiful and tearful beauty in front of him.

He saw Qingwu's sad and resentful eyes looking straight at him, as if telling of endless grievances and pain.

Xia Lingxiao calmly stuck out his tongue and gently licked away the blood beads remaining at the corner of his mouth.

Afterwards, he continued with his usual movements, gently stroking Qingwu's smooth and delicate back, and whispered to her softly, "Awu, if you want to bite me, you can do it to your heart's content later."

"Just be careful not to bite your lip. It'll hurt."

Who would have thought that such a wise monarch who was highly praised by the people and had great political skills and ability in governing the country would be such an unreasonable rogue in private.

But - the smell of blood suddenly made Qingwu feel an irresistible feeling of nausea rising in her heart.

She subconsciously wanted to push Xia Lingxiao away with all her strength, but her body was completely firmly grasped by him and she couldn't move at all.

So, all she could do was make a few slight retching sounds.

Just in the next moment, Xia Lingxiao was horrified to find that Qingwu had fainted without any warning.

In an instant, he was completely panicked and shouted loudly: "Come here! Imperial physician! Quickly bring the imperial physician to me! Quickly!"

...How could that be? His movements just now were so gentle.

Although I really have no experience in this area, it stands to reason that I won't hurt Qingwu anyway...

Moreover - Xia Lingxiao inexplicably thought that since he and Qingwu were husband and wife in their previous life, his body might have memories that would allow him to get familiar with Qingwu more quickly.

At this moment, looking at Qingwu who was sleeping in his arms, Xia Lingxiao felt such an anxious mood for the first time in his life.
