Chapter 84 Chapter 84 It turns out you only respond to hardship and not softness...
Zhao Qingyi did not sleep well. After waking up, he looked at the back of his hand and sat alone for a long time.
Chu Yuanhe came last night, and she heard those words.
It's a pity that she doesn't have the ability to fight against the imperial power, nor the courage to share the world with him. Chu Yuanhe's identity is like an invisible mountain pressing on her back, making her breathless. She can only choose to escape once again.
With Chu Yuanhe's identity, there is no woman he can't get what he wants. He is entangled with her, probably because of his obsession in two lifetimes and he is unwilling to give up.
Zhao Qingyi comforted herself when there was a knock on the door. Zhao Huaiyi urged her to have lunch quickly as it was time to set off back to Beijing.
Qiantang's "rebellion" was so powerful that it was reported to the capital as expected. This gave the imperial court a perfect opportunity to clean up the Zhejiang bureaucracy. New officials would soon be sent to take over Zhejiang affairs. After this incident, the new policy would be officially launched.
As for the Jiang family, they had colluded with King Qi to commit treason and could not escape the punishment of the court. Zhao Manyi lost power again. Fortunately, she returned to the Jiang family but had not yet had the time to formally recognize her ancestors and her name was not included in the family tree. On the day of Mr. Jiang's death, she packed up a large amount of gold and silver and fled.
For the sake of her brother Jun, she had to return to the capital alive no matter what. Unexpectedly, she was recognized by the people along the way as soon as she escaped from Qiantang.
The local people all knew that Mr. Jiang had found his long-lost daughter, especially since she had a scar on her face, making her particularly easy to recognize. They had long hated the Jiang family, but it was a pity that Mr. Jiang died too quickly. They had no place to vent their anger, and when they saw Zhao Manyi trying to escape alone, they naturally wanted to vent their anger on her.
Zhao Manyi, a weak woman, couldn't stand it at all. In a few seconds, her valuables were robbed and she was beaten and kicked.
Zhao Manyi was trying to argue with these people like a madman, but they threatened to report her whereabouts to the government. She was furious and helpless, so she could only flee in panic. She secretly swore in her heart that she must survive, return to Shangjing alive, and see her Jun brother alive.
Last night she had a beautiful dream. She dreamed of her Jun brother. Her Jun brother was very well educated. He passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer in the imperial examination when he was only in his early twenties. He was even more capable than his biological father.
When she finds Junger, and when Junger takes the imperial examination and becomes the top scorer, she will be the top scorer's mother, and she can ask for an imperial decree, and then she, Zhao Manyi, will be able to turn her life around!
Thinking of this, Zhao Manyi ran and laughed all the way, looking like a madman, and kept talking about how she was going to be the mother of the top scholar.
As for Zhao Qingyi and his group, now that the matter in Zhejiang is completed, it is time for them to retire.
Zhao Qingyi had no appetite and ate only a few bites of the lunch that was served to her. She locked herself in the room and waited until the troops were ready to set off before she went out with a gloomy look on her face.
At that time, Zhao Huaiyi was talking to Meng Jiawen. Seeing that she looked unhappy, the two of them exchanged glances.
Meng Jiawen pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "Cousin, your carriage is over there."
Zhao Qingyi didn't think much about it. She said thank you and went to the front. When she lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, she found that there was another person sitting inside.
She was stunned for a moment and wanted to turn around and get off, but the horse pulling the carriage suddenly raised its front hooves and let out a long neigh, and the carriage suddenly moved forward.
Zhao Qingyi lost his balance and fell into the carriage.
Chu Yuanhe was quick to act and held her firmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Qingyi quickly lowered her eyes and tried to break free from his hand, but the other party held it tightly and pulled her into his arms.
She was shocked, "Your Majesty..."
There were quite a few people returning to the capital together, and the others must have known that Chu Yuanhe was in this carriage. Her father and cousin had even let her get on this carriage...
Was she being plotted against?
Zhao Qingyi was annoyed, but he held her tightly and she couldn't break free. She suppressed her temper and said, "Let me go."
"No." Chu Yuanhe said stubbornly.
Zhao Qingyi felt rebellious and stopped pretending. She gritted her teeth and struggled hard, but the arms around her were as impenetrable as a solid wall of steel.
She was weak to begin with, and because she was in a bad mood and hadn't eaten much, she was even weaker now. To the other party, all her struggles were like a kitten scratching someone.
Chu Yuanhe looked down at her calmly, seeing her face flushed with shame and anger.
Last night he did think about letting it go, but unfortunately, Zhao Huaiyi came to him and talked to him heart to heart, and they even made a small deal.
Chu Yuanhe felt that this might be an opportunity given to him by God, and this time, he would not let it go no matter what.
But Zhao Qingyi didn't know all this. She was still confused. Chu Yuanhe's words last night clearly meant that he wanted to part with her, so why did he seem like a different person now?
After much thought, there is only one conclusion.
Chu Yuanhe was indeed still that moody person, acting on impulse and nothing he said was credible.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Zhao Qingyi was unable to break free and was furious. He turned around and glared at the person behind him, reminding him that a forced melon will not be sweet.
She had been so blunt yesterday, so why would she still be bothered? Couldn't we just part ways amicably?
Chu Yuanhe sneered when he heard this, "Don't you think your idea is naive?" Without waiting for the other party to react, he pushed her down and covered her with his tall body.
Zhao Qingyi was terrified, but still struggled.
The man's sinister warning voice sounded, "You twist again?"
Sensing the approaching danger, Zhao Qingyi's whole body stiffened.
She was very familiar with that touch and that temperature, but now, their relationship was no longer as close as it once was.
Chu Yuanhe's actions would only make her feel embarrassed and ashamed.
Zhao Qingyi bit her lip, "...Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"
"You didn't say that before." Chu Yuanhe decided to be a rogue to the end. "Before, you clearly liked..."
The hot breath wrapped around her neck, which was one of her most sensitive spots. Every time they were intimate, she would shrink back in shyness as soon as he got close, and this time was no exception.
As soon as he leaned over, she felt her neck itchy and numb, and she let out a soft gasp unconsciously.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhao Qingyi regretted it, and simply clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.
She just didn't believe it. This was happening in a carriage, with so many guards outside, as well as her father and cousin. She just didn't believe that Emperor Chu Yuanhe was so arrogant that he dared to touch her in the carriage.
Chu Yuanhe's deep eyes held a faint smile, "Banban, you are always so stubborn, what should I do with you?"
"Don't call me." Zhao Qingyi didn't want to give up the last bit of backbone.
"What do you call me, ma'am?"
"……Shut up!"
"Okay, Queen, is this title worthy of you?"
Zhao Qingyi was about to explode with anger. Why couldn't this person understand what she was saying?
The breath still lingered on her neck, stirring up shivers. Zhao Qingyi could no longer deceive herself into ignoring him. She suddenly opened her eyes and said sternly, "You'd better let me go, or I'll call for help."
"Why don't you try shouting?"
Chu Yuanhe put away his smile, touched her little face with his cold fingertips, and threatened in a low voice, "If you dare to shout, I will take you immediately."
Zhao Qingyi was shocked again. How could he say such shameless words?!
"you……"
Looking at the other party's eager attitude, Zhao Qingyi knew that he could really do what he said.
She was anxious and angry, her face flushed red and she was about to cry.
The familiar feeling came back, and finally it was no longer the cold expression I had last night when I was about to break up with him.
Chu Yuanhe suppressed his laughter, his face stern, and he pretended to be gloomy and said, "There are so many ears outside listening. If the carriage shakes or you shout, guess what, will they know what we did?"
Zhao Qingyi's legs were pinned down by him, and her hands were also caught by big hands and restrained above her head. She could only raise her head to bite the man's face, wanting to take revenge on him, but she was always just a little short of it.
"You dare to touch me, you...you are a tyrant!"
"You're the first one who dares to call me a tyrant." After so many years of scolding, Chu Yuanhe was used to it and even enjoyed her embarrassed and annoyed look. "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I love you. You can't escape my control."
Zhao Qingyi was full of grievances. She didn't even know what she was aggrieved about. She just didn't like the way he was now, strong, overbearing, and unreasonable.
But this seems to be his original appearance.
He was the emperor of Daliang, and no one had ever disobeyed him. But it was she who pushed him away and placed him in this high position.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Qingyi felt that it was all her own fault, but she didn't want to admit it. She acted like she would rather break than bend, "You're dreaming!"
She didn't believe that her father wouldn't come to save her.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Chu Yuanhe gave her a playful and provocative smile, lowered his head and covered her lips.
Zhao Qingyi opened her mouth to curse, but the long tongue took advantage of the opportunity and entangled her small tongue, leaving her no chance to argue or curse.
They had been the closest people, and their breaths were so familiar to each other. Even though Zhao Qingyi wanted to stay away from him, her body would always accept him before her heart.
Chu Yuanhe also understood her and stirred it skillfully.
Zhao Qingyi was so dazed by the kiss that she almost fell into it. When a big hand reached into her skirt, she suddenly woke up. The sharp teeth bit his lips hard, and the faint smell of blood instantly spread between their lips and teeth.
Chu Yuanhe took a breath of cold air, and then a slap came with a fragrant breeze.
He didn't dodge or evade and was hit hard.
After Zhao Qingyi finished fighting, he looked at his slightly numb palm in mid-air and was stunned.
She…she hit him again.
If it were in the past, she would have just hit him, but now the person in front of her was no longer her concubine, but His Majesty. This slap from her would affect the lives of her entire family.
Zhao Qingyi held her breath, staring at the slap marks that quickly appeared on the man's face, and was too stunned to move.
Chu Yuanhe caught the flash of panic on her face, brushed the corner of her mouth where she had bitten the skin, and touched her aching face again, sneering, "I was too indulgent to you in the past, and the more I beat you, the better I am."
The next moment, he grabbed her slender white wrist again, "...How is it, do you feel relieved after the fight?"
Zhao Qingyi's eyes flashed. He... wasn't angry?
After hearing the first half of his sentence, I thought he was going to get angry and punish her for her disrespect.
Seeing her stunned expression, Chu Yuanhe leaned closer to her handsome face. "If one slap isn't enough, why don't you give it a few more times? Or... do you want to hit somewhere else?"
It’s not impossible, but if he hits him, Zhao Qingyi is afraid that he will hurt his own hand.
He was so close, so close that his lips were about to touch hers again.
Zhao Qingyi's face flushed red. She was afraid that he would kiss her again, so she raised her hand again without saying a word, but this time she missed.
Chu Yuanhe gently grasped her slender white wrist, and she could not move.
The man slowly pried open her tightly clenched fingers, revealing his red palms. "Look, your hands are all red..." As he spoke, a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her palms.
“…”
Zhao Qingyi's head was buzzing and he was so angry that he was fuming.
I just can't stand him!
She was clearly angry and resisting, so what was he doing? Was he crazy?
"You, let go... um..."
Before the shouting and scolding had died down, Chu Yuanhe suddenly pulled her into his arms again and kissed her lips fiercely as if to punish her, which was completely different from the gentle kiss he had given her before.
Zhao Qingyi was too angry to fight back, and she couldn't beat him. She swung her sharp nails and hit him, but only left a few shallow marks on his neck.
The man didn't feel any pain at all, he was just unhappy about being interrupted. He just kissed her for a while. Was she so annoyed?
Chu Yuanhe was furious. He couldn't accept the fact that she disliked him. As soon as their lips parted, he threatened viciously, "If you move again, I'll tie you up!"
When someone pinched her wrist, Zhao Qingyi immediately deflated and let him hold her in his arms, but she refused to respond to his kiss no matter what.
Chu Yuanhe sensed her stiffness, lifted her delicate chin, pecked her repeatedly with his thin lips, and softened his tone as he coaxed her, "Relax..."
Zhao Qingyi pursed her lips tightly and didn't want to pay attention to him.
When he buried his head in hers, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
The voice was low, unlike the sobs during lovemaking, and it sounded very aggrieved.
He would never have forced himself on her like this before.
Or...is this his true nature?
Everything that happened before was just a dream of hers.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingyi's nose suddenly felt sore and tears fell uncontrollably.
Chu Yuanhe then stopped, his tone was dark and filled with an indescribable coldness, "...Are you so unhappy?
His eyes inexplicably stung Zhao Qingyi's heart, like a fine needle slowly piercing into her. She was still unable to adapt to his coldness.
But once again, he said something insincerely, "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler. You can have any woman you want. Why do you have to keep pestering me?"
Chu Yuanhe almost laughed out of anger, "You are right, I must get what I want, and you are no exception."
Zhao Qingyi didn't understand at all. He had no way to deal with her. For her, he repeatedly lowered his bottom line, retreated for her again and again, and used all kinds of means to be together with her.
It’s not that Chu Yuanhe can’t accept her throwing tantrums and getting angry, or even beating her up, whatever…
But in the end, she chose to part ways with him amicably? Was their relationship so fragile?
Or was it because he seemed so easy to talk to that she had such a naive idea?
Chu Yuanhe is not a man without temper. On the contrary, he has always had a bad temper. The thirty-six tribes in the northwest who have been beaten know it best.
Only in front of Zhao Qingyi did he use all his patience in this life, but at this moment he could hardly suppress the irritability and frenzy in his heart, and just wanted to use extraordinary means to keep her.
No matter what, the most important thing is to keep people.
Chu Yuanhe's kiss became more and more fierce. If it weren't for his familiar scent, Zhao Qingyi would have almost failed to recognize the man in front of her. On his face, the gentleness and obedience of the past could no longer be seen, only possession and control that was too strong to be ignored.
Overnight, their positions were reversed, everything was turned upside down, and she no longer had any control...
No, perhaps from the very beginning, she thought she had the dominant power in her hands, but he just thought it was interesting and gave it to her temporarily.
No one can tame the emperor, unless the person is his prey, a weak and defenseless prey, and he finds it interesting. Only then will he tease and play with the prey and play the game of power exchange.
In the final analysis, all of this stems from his ability to counterattack his prey at any time. That's why he doesn't mind giving up the dominance for a moment, but it is enough for her, the prey that has fallen into the trap, to become complacent.
Zhao Qingyi is the stupid prey who gets carried away by his success.
Now that the other party no longer wants to play this game with her, she has no room to resist in his hands.
She closed her eyes dejectedly and endured it all in silence.
But her reaction only made the man more aggressive. After the kiss, Chu Yuanhe's palm slid into her calf, instinctively wanting to take more from her and eat her.
Zhao Qingyi's body couldn't stop shaking. He subconsciously put his knees together and raised his legs to kick.
The man's palm blocked the way, bearing the slap mark on his face, and said in a faint voice, "Are you going to disobey the order?"
Hadn't she always believed that his status as emperor was an obstacle? Wasn't she powerless to resist imperial power? Didn't she have to pretend to be the obedient and prudent daughter of a minister in front of him?
She clearly had the opportunity to be unrestrained, but she refused and pushed him away.
Then he would let her see what the love of an emperor should be like. Now his words were like an imperial decree, like an order.
What can Zhao Qingyi do?
When she heard the word "disobey the order", a deep feeling of powerlessness came over her like a dark cloud, making her breathless even after struggling. Under the other party's firm and burning eyes, her tightly clenched knees slowly relaxed, and her trembling eyelashes were stained with tears.
Chu Yuanhe, this bastard...
The man took in her self-abandonment, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, followed by understanding, and the corners of his mouth that could no longer be pretended to be slightly raised.
She wasn't happy when I tried to coax her with sweet words, but she became obedient when I threatened her?
Is this...hard-hearted?
Chu Yuanhe suddenly chuckled, "So... you like this?"
