Chapter 80 Chapter 80 "Your ex-husband is watching us"...
Zhao Qingyi was as limp as a puddle of water. She didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone curse.
She couldn't ask him why he did that. Didn't he feel disgusted?
But every move Chu Yuanhe made to comfort her was full of affection, for no reason at all. He even went back and rubbed his own breath on her face again.
"Do you feel it?" He took a deep breath, but couldn't control his increasingly heavy breathing. His rough fingertips stroked her rosy lips, his eyes dark, "You're just so stubborn..."
"I have an idea. Since Madam can't say it, why not let little Banban say it?" The other her was much more frank than her.
It was as if a bolt of thunder struck Zhao Qingyi's mind.
Before she could think of any words to refute, her delicate body trembled suddenly, and her almond-shaped eyes were instantly filled with a thin mist, making her look weak and pitiful.
Chu Yuanhe was exceptionally gentle. He paused for a long while, making sure that she could completely accept him, before slowly trying to please her.
The situation last night was a little special. It could be considered that they were separated for a short time and felt like they were newlyweds, which was why she was distracted and out of control. But this time he was obviously much more restrained. He did everything to please her to the extent she could accept. It was torturous, but also interesting in a different way.
He especially loved to see her crying breathlessly, whimpering like a kitten, seeming both comfortable and anxious.
Zhao Qingyi felt that this test was too long. The numbness and itching in the joints of her bones increased instead of decreasing, and she could not get soothing for a long time. When she finally got soothing, he talked more nonsense than ever before, breaking her bottom line again and again.
Zhao Qingyi, who was deeply in love, could only respond one by one. No matter how embarrassing the words were, they came out of her mouth under his repeated provocation. In the end, only a few murmured words were left.
Her panting, her crying, her pleading, all made Chu Yuanhe satisfied.
"lady……"
When his passion was strong, his face also flushed, and his eyes on her face were affectionate and focused.
After a period of restraint and indulgence, he remained closely connected with her, holding her in his arms and sliding into the hot spring pool together.
In the second half of the night, the pool gradually turned thick white again. When the turbulent ripples returned to calm, it was already dawn.
Zhao Qingyi was pressed against the edge of the pool and went up and down countless times. When she was about to faint, Chu Yuanhe pulled her out. She lay alone outside the pool for a long time before she came to her senses. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were filled with laziness and fatigue.
After that, she slept very soundly. When she woke up, she was fully dressed. Chu Yuanhe was not far away from her, grilling fish over a fire.
"What time is it?"
She supported her sore lower back and sat up, looking at the sky which was obviously setting, she felt unwell.
How come she ends up living this kind of life with her day and night reversed?
"It's still early, let's eat something first." Chu Yuanhe handed her a skewer of freshly grilled fish. "If you like it here, we can stay a few more days. If not, why don't we go to nearby Wukang for a stroll?"
Zhao Qingyi thought of his cousin who was still in prison, "...will it be too late?"
Meng Jiawen is still in the hands of King Qi. Although Chu Yuanhe's men are protecting him in secret, Zhao Qingyi still feels ashamed of his behavior in the past few days.
Chu Yuanhe saw through her thoughts and said with a smile, "Of course we're still in time. We've already found the reinforcements."
Just when Zhao Qingyi was falling asleep, the secret guard sent back a message that Zhao Huaiyi had assembled 20,000 soldiers from Huzhou Prefecture with a secret decree. They were now in Wukang, waiting for the order and could reach Qiantang within a day. However, it was not yet the time agreed by King Qi, so they just had to hide themselves to avoid alerting the enemy.
Upon hearing the news from his father, Zhao Qingyi was overjoyed and couldn't wait to go to Wukang to see his father, but after thinking it over again and again, he gave up the idea.
"It's better to go back. It's a critical moment and it's not good to be too conspicuous." King Qi's people might be watching their whereabouts somewhere. For the sake of his father's safety, now is not the time to meet.
Chu Yuanhe followed her instructions. On the day of Meng Jiawen's execution, he and his brothers from the Black Wind Village hid outside Qiantang County. Spies came to report that martial law was in place in the city and everyone entering and leaving had to be checked.
In this way, their plan to disguise themselves as civilians and sneak into Qiantang would not work. Zhao Qingyi was worrying about how to sneak in without alerting King Qi, when the rebel army came in a mighty force from the northwest.
In just seven days, they had gathered a large number of troops and horses. The sound of their horses' hooves was so loud that even the ground shook. The officers and soldiers who were checking the passers-by were frightened by this situation. They sent people to report to the front and quickly closed the city gates.
The leader of the rebel army was none other than Shi Dachui. In the past, they were a motley crowd, but with the infiltration of secret guards and brothers from the Black Wind Village, the mixed crowd of rebels actually began to have the aura of a regular army.
Regardless of their combat power, the sheer mass of men pressing towards the city was enough to intimidate those soldiers defending the city who had long lost their fighting spirit due to their indulgence in pleasure.
Chu Yuanhe took the opportunity to ride down the mountain to meet the rebels.
Shi Dachui had seen Chu Yuanhe in the county government office before. He was a little surprised to see that Chu Yuanhe dared to approach him with just a few people. Until he saw Cao Hu following behind him, his expression became much more respectful.
"Master Yuan."
Cao Hu glanced at him and said, "What Lord Yuan? This is the Duke of the County. You can sit in this position, you have to thank the Duke of the County for pushing and fanning the flames and building momentum for you."
Shi Dachui had no talent for being a general. He had led the rebellion only to survive and protect himself. The appearance of Chu Yuanhe gave him the opportunity to resist and let his voice reach Shangjing. As long as he could restore peace to the people, he would not mind dying as a traitor.
Shi Dachui immediately dismounted and saluted, "I am just a rough man, I don't know anything, but as long as you can let us ordinary people live a peaceful life, my life will belong to the prince!"
Finally, he glanced at Zhao Qingyi, who was riding with Chu Yuanhe, and laughed innocently, "I guess this must be the Princess of the County. I, a humble servant, also pay my respects to her!"
The others started to make a fuss, and some took the opportunity to praise the two of them, saying they were made for each other.
Although Chu Yuanhe was not the real Prince of Pingxi, he couldn't help but smile when he saw that he and Zhao Qingyi were a perfect match in the eyes of outsiders. After the greetings, he turned around and led the rebel army into Qiantang.
The soldiers who were originally responsible for checking at the city gate had already run away, and some of the people in the city recognized Shi Dachui, and some recognized the bandits from Heifengzhai. This group of people were not easy to deal with, and the people were all scared and retreated.
Chu Yuanhe and Zhao Qingyi led their troops straight to Caishikou without any hindrance.
The "county magistrate" Chu Yuanhe is gone, and County Magistrate Zhou has run away again. Now the chief official on the execution platform is Zhifu Du.
The soldier reported tremblingly that the rebels were attacking. The calm Magistrate Du immediately fell off his chair, and his official hat was tilted. Before he could get up to question them, the rebels surrounded the execution ground at an extremely fast speed.
Magistrate Du's fat body trembled three times with fear, and he barely got up with the help of the yamen runners.
Chu Yuanhe sat upright on his horse and greeted him with a smile, "Master Du, how are you?"
They had met each other before he led Zhao Qingyi out of Jiangjiazhuangzi that day. Later, Prefect Du and other officials learned that Chu Yuanhe was the Prince of Pingxi.
Then King Qi ordered a manhunt. Each of them had portraits of Chu Yuanhe and Zhao Qingyi. Now, almost everyone in Qiantang knows about the Prince of Pingxi.
Prefect Du pointed a trembling finger at Chu Yuanhe's nose and said sternly, "Prince of Pingxi, you...are you gathering this mob to rebel?"
"It's still unclear who the traitor is." Chu Yuanhe casually picked up the iron axe from the person next to him and played with it. He listed all the crimes committed by Du Zhifu and Qi Wang over the years: corruption and bribery, selling official positions and titles, forcibly abducting women, and murder...
Just listing a few charges would turn Magistrate Du's fat face pale with fear.
Those fearful people hid in the dark and heard Chu Yuanhe enumerate the many evil deeds of the prefect in sonorous words. When they looked at the rebels again, there was more support than fear in their eyes. Some brave people even came out to cheer and threatened to ask the prince to severely punish the corrupt officials.
Chu Yuanhe lived up to everyone's expectations. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the iron axe in his hand fiercely at Du Zhifu's face.
Magistrate Du was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground. The iron axe happened to fall between his pants and crotch, nailing his official robe to the ground.
Magistrate Du screamed again, and a pool of urine soon appeared on the ground, causing the rebels and onlookers to burst into laughter.
With Chu Yuanhe's lazy wave of his hand, Cao Hu grabbed his weapons and led his brothers to the execution ground.
Magistrate Du's face turned pale and blue, and he pulled out his pants that were nailed by the iron axe and crawled to his feet. The other officials were so frightened by this scene that they covered their heads and ran away, not even having the heart to resist.
Only Meng Jiawen, kneeling on the ground, laughed heartily. He had endured these corrupt officials for too long, until today when he saw his cousin...
Well, although his cousin was in the arms of a man, he was the Prince of Pingxi whom he had met in Shangjing.
Unexpectedly, my cousin would end up with Prince Pingxi.
But whenever Meng Jiawen thought about his cousin and cousin-in-law coming to save him, he was overjoyed. While laughing, he did not forget to spit at the corrupt official.
Upon seeing this, Magistrate Du sternly ordered the executioner to execute Meng Jiawen quickly.
An arrow shot out from the crowd and went straight through the executioner's arm. Blood spurted out and splashed on Meng Jiawen's face. The next moment, the shackles on his neck were cut off by a sword. Cao Hu stepped forward to help the man up. Then the rebels were no longer polite and rushed towards the prefect with their weapons drawn.
The yamen runners and soldiers defending the city retreated immediately. Magistrate Du was slow in movement due to his big belly, and was caught up by Shi Dachui on the spot and killed with a single blow. The crowd cheered again.
Only Zhao Qingyi, whose vision was blocked by a pair of large hands, did not see the scene of blood splattering.
Chu Yuanhe whispered softly in her ear, "Be obedient and don't look, or you'll dirty your eyes."
Zhao Qingyi did not move again, allowing the hand to cover her eyes.
When Li Che arrived with King Qi's personal guards, Meng Jiawen had already been rescued by the rebels.
Looking at the dead Magistrate Du and several minor officials lying on the ground, Li Che's face was gloomy.
King Qi's personal guards were different from this bunch of good-for-nothings. They immediately deployed themselves to protect the front, and King Qi then slowly came from behind. Cao Hu and Shi Dachui were intimidated by the momentum, and hurriedly stopped the brothers behind them from moving rashly.
Both sides maintained an eerie calm, and no one dared to take action. Instead, they each clenched their weapons tightly.
Li Che's sight quickly fell on Chu Yuanhe. It was broad daylight, and the other party did not try to hide his appearance. That extremely handsome face with a wicked smile was clearly visible to him.
On the other hand, Li Che was still wearing a black cloak that covered his face, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.
But Chu Yuanhe still recognized him, and his thin lips gradually curled up into a provocative and sarcastic arc, and the dangerous aura came over him in an instant.
Li Che hated him. He hated this shameless emperor for coveting his wife for two lifetimes. However, the pain he had suffered in the past made him cautious and even timid.
Others did not know Chu Yuanhe's identity, but he knew clearly that the person in front of him was the supreme emperor of Daliang, who had actually come to Zhejiang and Qiantang in person.
Is it for Zhao Qingyi's father and cousin?
Haha, His Majesty is really dedicated and he must love Zhao Qingyi so much.
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Che's mind, and his hands hidden under his wide sleeves clenched into fists.
Chu Yuanhe saw too many things in Li Che's eyes, including horror, hatred, ridicule, and even disdain and jealousy towards him as his "concubine".
But he just enjoyed it, and at the same time, he had some vague guesses in his mind.
Given Li Che's cowardice in this life, the other party would not dare to stare at him like that.
"lady."
Chu Yuanhe lowered his head, leaned close to Zhao Qingyi's ear, and whispered to her face, "Your ex-husband is watching us."
Zhao Qingyi's body stiffened.
Chu Yuanhe could feel the trembling eyelashes under his palm. His hand slowly moved down, lingering on her fair and tender face. "Tell me, who is better, me or him?"
His breath was very close to her. Zhao Qingyi slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze. There was a smile in the other's eyes, as well as a hint of indescribable darkness.
Such a look often means danger is coming.
Zhao Qingyi was instantly alert, without even turning to look at Li Che in front of her, "Of course you are good, he...how can he be compared with you?"
After spending the past few days together, Zhao Qingyi felt that she had become smarter, at least not as tongue-tied as before. Now, nine out of ten words she said would please the man in front of her.
Chu Yuanhe felt refreshed when he heard this. His big hand on her cheek was still caressing her gently, and his affection was mixed with a hint of sticky hint that was hard to ignore. "Then tell me again, how am I better than him?"
In public, such teasing made Zhao Qingyi feel ashamed and angry and she wanted to run away. Two ambiguous blushes appeared visibly on her face.
After a quick thought, she came up with an answer that might satisfy Chu Yuanhe. "He and I have never been close, so... how can we compare..."
The bad memories of her previous life had been gradually covered by Chu Yuanhe. She really couldn't remember them. She only remembered every moment with the man in front of her, and the physical and mental pleasure he brought her. That was enough.
Chu Yuanhe didn't want to let her go easily. He kissed her red earlobe and asked, "Do you like me? Are you satisfied?"
Even though the whisper was only audible to the two of them, Zhao Qingyi's heartbeat quickened with shame, her ears went numb, and she nodded hesitantly, "I'm, I'm very satisfied... I couldn't be more satisfied..."
After saying this, she closed her eyes, looking ready to die. She was so ashamed. How could she say such words?
But Chu Yuanhe was very pleased. "I like to hear this. I'll say it several times later."
He deliberately raised the tone of his voice and whispered into her ear at the end, "It's better to talk more on the bed, I will benefit more..."
She had no idea how excited a man could be to hear these words when he was aroused.
While Chu Yuanhe was whispering to her intimately, he did not forget to look up and smile, staring straight at Li Che with eyes full of provocation, obviously the attitude of a winner looking down on an ant.
"What a pity, I'm still a little late. In the end, I let him marry you first."
Zhao Qingyi didn't even dare to look at other men. "...What kind of old vinegar is this? You're still digging it up to eat?"
Chu Yuanhe pouted subtly, "Look around me, have I ever had any other woman?"
He was not jealous of her, so she naturally didn't know how he felt. A man's jealousy and competitive spirit were very scary.
Zhao Qingyi felt more and more guilty, and she wished she could bury her head in his chest and never see anyone again.
"Okay, this isn't your fault." Chu Yuanhe rubbed the back of her head, his eyes suddenly fierce, "If you want to blame someone... blame him."
Li Che, why do you still have the nerve to live?
After two lifetimes, doesn't he have any self-awareness?
"Today, I will twist his head and use it as a ball for you to kick."
