Chapter 64. His tongue teased the bridge and tip of his nose, occasionally poking it like a bird...
The tea she drank instantly transformed, as if scalding flames were burning through Le Jin's bones and skin. Her mind gradually blurred, leaving only an empty, ethereal longing in her body.
Good heavens... Le Jin stared at the teacup, a chill running down her spine.
Why did Xie Lianhui drug her? Or rather, why did Xie Xianheng do this?
However, recalling the description of the relationship between "Le Jin" and Xie Xianheng in the book, Le Jin felt that such a thing was inevitable.
Where do so many true loves fall from the sky? There are clearly far more love triangles that lead to utter ruin.
Le Jin closed her eyes tightly, trying to regulate her breathing, silently telling herself to calm down. She was human, not a beast; what couldn't she control? Besides, she needed Xie Xianheng, and this tactic could be used to her advantage.
"Speaking of which... my visit today is also to apologize to the Prince."
"Oh? What wrong has the lady done?"
Le Jin smiled and shook her head, but she didn't expect that even this little noise would almost make her lose her balance. She had to hold onto the flower bed to keep herself upright.
This medicine is too strong!
She cursed inwardly, but her face showed a gentle and shy demeanor, and her body leaned against the cluster of flowers, like a beautiful woman in a painting.
“It is my husband’s fault. The princess is a beauty of unparalleled grace and naturally deserves the best man. I hope Your Highness will not be angry because my brother-in-law is disabled. My husband’s arrangement for the two families to meet is not an insult.”
"So that's what it was about." Xie Xianheng chuckled. "Madam, there's no need to worry. I was angry at first, but look at my sister, what a virtuous wife and loving mother she is! She doesn't care, so why should I be so petty?"
Le Jin's eyes were hazy and brimming with tears, but she still mustered her strength to smile at Xie Xianheng, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Why aren't you taking your medicine? Is there no warm water?"
She was about to call someone in to add water when Xie Xianheng stopped her, saying, "This medicine is for external use only."
Le Jin blinked at him, but her mind was a complete mess. "External use is...?"
Upon seeing Le Jin's demeanor, Xie Xianheng knew the time was right. He only needed to seduce her a little more, and Meng Shutai's wife would be his.
He no longer hesitated, reached out and supported Le Jin's forearm, pressing her against the screen, pleading as he drew closer.
“Since my mother’s death, no one has been able to apply medicine to me… Heng, I hope you will take pity on me, Madam.”
The man exuded an aura of killing and plunder, causing Le Jin's heart to skip a beat. Her mouth was slightly torn, and the taste of blood lingered on her tongue.
She wanted to use Xie Xianheng, but she didn't want to be with a man so blindly. Being free and unrestrained was indeed pleasurable, but where was she in that world of pleasure?
She didn't choose this person herself, so she doesn't want him.
Le Jin endured the sweat beading on her forehead, glistening on her brows and making her face appear bright and lively. She swallowed hard and reached for the small green medicine bottle.
"If I were to apply the medicine for Your Highness, would Your Highness grant me a request?"
Xie Xianheng was surprised to hear this. He was astonished that this alluring woman could still bargain with him at this critical moment, and he was also puzzled that Le Jin needed his help.
"Please speak freely, Madam."
She bit down harder on the meat in her mouth, deliberately making herself tear up in pain, her voice pitiful as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Please, Your Highness, take me away from the Meng family. I really can't stay in that hellhole any longer!"
After finishing her sentence, Le Jin burst into tears. For the first time, a girl had appeared so fragile in front of him, as if made of glass, ready to shatter at the slightest touch. Xie Xianheng was momentarily stunned, and asked blankly, "Isn't Lord Meng good to you?"
"he……"
Le Jin completely forgot all of Meng Shutai's tenderness and consideration after their marriage, her handkerchief half-soaked with tears, "He's the worst! He...he wanted to kill me!"
Xie Xianheng's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Le Jin's shoulders. "Really?!"
He had sensed early on that Meng Shutai was filled with murderous intent, and now it seemed he was right. Seeing Le Jin nod, he had no doubts whatsoever.
"Madam has suffered."
The grip on her shoulder suddenly tightened, and Le Jin felt as if her bones were about to melt. A sharp scream raged within her, urging her to climb up the hand on her shoulder...
don't want!
Le Jin snapped out of her daze and quickly made an excuse to get Xie Xianheng to let go of her.
"Let me apply the medicine for Your Highness."
Xie Xianheng was still immersed in the thought of breaking the flower when he was suddenly interrupted. He was a little dazed for a moment before he loosened his belt, revealing his strong and agile upper body.
Her honey-like skin was covered with countless scars, large and small, a shocking sight at first glance, causing Le Jin to gasp in shock.
"Your Highness..."
"I've been fighting alongside the army since I was a child, there's nothing I can do about it. I hope I didn't frighten you, Madam."
Le Jin hurriedly said no, uncorked the medicine bottle, and found that the contents were a slightly yellow liquid that smelled slightly bitter. Since there were no cotton swabs or gauze available, she could only use her fingers to apply it to Xie Xianheng's body.
The bitter medicine gradually moistened Xie Xianheng's scars with Le Jin's fingertips. Some scars were shallow, and some were deep, but without exception, they were all different from normal skin.
The scars were taut, slightly raised, and quite noticeable, showing through. I wonder what it would feel like to rub such skin against my skin...
Le Jin was startled by this evil thought. The medicine bottle was as hot as burning charcoal, and she couldn't hold it any longer. In a panic, she dropped it to the ground.
"I apologize, Your Highness, but I am not feeling well and will have to take my leave now!"
Run! We can't stay here any longer...
Le Jin stumbled out of the warm pavilion, lifting her skirt. The cold wind and snow outside hit her face, instantly relieving the burning sensation. But to her surprise, the more she suppressed the evil fire, the more fiercely it rebounded. Le Jin felt even more pain than before when the wind had stopped.
She was on the verge of tears, and could only take off her outer robe to try to cool down, tearing open her collar to let the cold snow blow in more, and running outside like a madwoman.
The Meng family's carriage is right outside the gate. Going back and seeing a doctor will solve everything...
Le Jin's unusual behavior startled the servants and maids of the Prince's mansion, who screamed in alarm. They glanced at her and dared not look again, immediately turning to face the wall. All that could be heard was the heavy breathing of the noble lady as she ran past and the sound of winter clothes falling to the ground.
The gates of the Prince's Mansion were right in front of her. Le Jin was only wearing two or three layers of clothing. Her fingers were frozen stiff, but she still felt like her bones were burning.
The raging winds and snow that swept across the land could not extinguish that terrifying evil desire; all efforts were in vain.
Tears streamed down her face as Le Jin trembled as she stepped out the door, oblivious to all the stares and whispers around her. All her senses seemed to converge on her lower abdomen.
She knew it was bulging there, as if some force was pulling it downwards...
She was going crazy! If she didn't get some relief, she'd either be driven to death or freeze to death. Le Jin's eyes were fixed on the carriage not far away. If she knocked herself unconscious by running her head over the road, would she feel less terrible?
A thousand thoughts flashed by in an instant. Before Le Jin could even step out of the palace gates with her other foot, a sandalwood-scented embrace caught her steadily.
Not knowing whether meeting him at this moment was a good thing or a bad thing, Le Jin hugged his neck tightly, her burning cheeks rubbing against his.
"Go home, go home..."
She was muttering to herself, her body burning hot, yet also frighteningly soft, like a puddle of water about to spill over at any moment.
Ever since Le Jin left home, Meng Shutai was restless at home, vaguely feeling that something was going to happen. Unable to bear it any longer, he ordered someone to prepare a carriage to come and pick her up.
When the time came, this is what I saw... Meng Shutai pulled off his cloak and wrapped the person up from head to toe without leaving a trace. With a cold face, he picked him up and turned to step onto the carriage.
"Don't wrap yourself up! It's hot!"
As soon as Le Jin was put in the car on the couch, she complained that she was hot and ripped off her cloak and kicked it away.
Meng Shutai held her in his arms and gently comforted her, "What's wrong with you?"
Le Jin kept hugging and rubbing against him, whimpering, "I ate... the wrong thing..." Her icy hands pulled open Meng Shutai's clothes and groped inside him, eager and impatient.
Meng Shutai lowered his eyes; he had never seen Le Jin so engrossed in her emotions before. The previous two times, he had used every method he could think of to coax her into giving in, but this time, the pleasure was so easily obtained.
But beyond this surprise, the most intense thought pounding in Meng Shutai's mind was: who had given her such a vile drug? How many people had ever seen her so alluring? What kind of contact had they made? ...
He showed no sign of joy; instead, his face grew increasingly gloomy, like some unknown monster lying in the darkness of an autumn beach.
"Meng Shutai..."
He made no move. Le Jin's rationality had been completely devoured by the drugs. She could only call his name in a soft, tearful voice.
Unable to ask him for help, she could only call out to him again and again.
Meng Shutai rubbed the back of his finger against Le Jin's cheek, indulging her unruly little hands to wander all over his body. With his other hand, he bent her legs up and took off her close-fitting underpants.
Unlike before, this time, before he even touched her with his fingers, there were already some wet stains on her clothes, showing that she was in a passionate mood.
The burning heat in her lower body instantly cooled her down, and Le Jin sighed comfortably, rubbing her legs together slightly.
Meng Shutai's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became slightly hoarse when he spoke again.
"Good boy, open your mouth."
He knew this place well, and the pearls between the soft shells were teased and played with by his two fingers. Before long, spring water gushed out from the thin crevice of the valley.
Due to the medication, Le Jin was exhausted but still held onto Meng Shutai's hand, refusing to let him leave. She was so delirious that she poked and rubbed herself with his fingers.
However, the shimmering water in that valley was already extremely red and soft, pitifully so. Meng Shutai chuckled and touched Le Jin's eye with his thumb, "Alright, alright, let go of me first, there are other places where you can feel comfortable."
Le Jin didn't understand, but through her blurry, tear-filled eyes, she glimpsed the person holding her loosen their grip, lean down, and kiss her...
"don't want……"
How can this be?
Le Jin stared blankly at the car roof, the tremors caused by his soft tongue tearing at her soul. His nose bridge and tip would occasionally poke at her, like a bird pecking at nectar from a flower.
Le Jin felt as if she were being devoured by Meng Shutai, and the two very different feelings of comfort and fear could coexist at the same time.
She tilted her head and secretly looked down, only to find that Meng Shutai was also looking up at her.
I don't know how he ate, but his brow bone was stained with tears. His shimmering phoenix eyes flashed with a mixture of infatuation and ferocity as he silently watched her, on the verge of collapse, and then…
A radiant smile, like a ghostly painted skin.
