Chapter 96 You Deserve Better
This was actually the question Xiao Heng asked himself.
She seemed to be right, but also seemed to be wrong.
If I really have to say where my fault lies, it is that she can always see through my thoughts and always make me soft-hearted.
Liu Yuetang in his arms blurted out: "I am wrong in everything. I shouldn't have said anything wrong, let alone made the emperor angry."
She looked at Xiao Heng with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Heng raised his hand and gently rubbed her fair face, his eyes soft: "Does it hurt?"
Liu Yuetang's voice choked: "Where is the emperor asking about?"
"Back, knees."
Liu Yuetang frowned, feeling extremely aggrieved, and said in a delicate voice, "It hurts, it hurts everywhere, my back hurts, my knees hurt, and my heart hurts too."
As she spoke, she took Xiao Heng's hand and placed it on her chest.
"I miss Your Majesty, thinking about you day and night but can't see you. I want to go find you, but I'm afraid of angering you again. I finally... I finally mustered up the courage to come see you, but you're avoiding me."
She took a deep breath, her eyes reddened tenderly, and she said infatuatedly, "Your Majesty, do you know that the moment you turned around just now, my heart was broken."
Xiao Heng stroked her chest, his heavy heartbeat seemed like a real heartbreak, making his fingertips tremble and his heart tighten.
Looking at her tears falling quietly, he slowly rolled his throat: "How can I bear to break your heart?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and gently kissed away the tears on Liu Yuetang's cheeks, then slowly moved to her lips.
Like a drop of rain, Xiao Heng tried his best to suppress the heat in his heart and released her lips.
Before he could get up, the woman's hands grabbed his neck, and then their four red lips pressed together.
Under her soft outline, Xiao Heng completely lost control, letting that warmth wander in her mouth, passionately and lingeringly.
His large palm moved quickly and hotly behind the woman, and finally reached into her dress. Liu Yuetang groaned, her eyes shining brightly.
"emperor……"
Her weak, boneless hands pressed against Xiao Heng's heaving chest: "It will hurt if I lie down..."
Xiao Heng's eyes were extremely deep. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her collarbone and breasts passionately.
"You don't have to lie down."
Liu Yuetang's breathing was disordered, and her fingertips were rubbing his back.
The madness in each other's eyes seemed to ferment...
Zhou Defu tactfully closed the door.
He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.
"Now, the emperor should be happy."
When their master is unhappy, it becomes difficult for them as servants to serve them and they may lose their heads at any time.
After serving in fear for half a month, I can finally take a breath.
Bu Zi'an also said with a smile: "Master... it was a close call just now. I thought Concubine Xi was going to be in big trouble."
Zhou Defu smiled and glared at him: "What do you know? The master inside is very smart..."
The heater in the room was burning brightly, and tangled clothes and jade pendants were scattered all over the floor.
This was Xiao Heng's first time having sex in broad daylight.
It was also the first time that he was able to let go of his worries about this matter.
Liu Yuetang seemed to have lost all the air and lay limply in Xiao Heng's arms.
Xiao Heng gently stroked her wet hair, his eyes full of pity.
"Tang'er, do you blame me?"
Liu Yuetang raised her watery eyes and looked at him again, "When you needed me the most, I wasn't able to be by your side."
He gently stroked Liu Yuetang's back with his fingertips.
Liu Yuetang shook her head: "I should be the one saying this. It's all my fault that I wasn't able to cope with my health. When Your Majesty was most upset and heartbroken, I wasn't by your side."
Xiao Heng frowned slightly and was about to speak when Liu Yuetang stopped him with her fingertips.
She leaned sideways slightly, her eyes filled with deep affection, as if about to overflow.
"I know that what I'm going to say next is a bit presumptuous, but I still have to say it."
"I want to be the light in the emperor's heart."
Xiao Heng was stunned.
Liu Yuetang lowered her eyebrows and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, do you know how I live in the manor?"
Along with the ethereal and soft voice, Liu Yuetang's eyes gradually became dazed.
"While other children were only three or four years old and still playing coquettishly in their parents' arms, I was washing clothes and cooking, working hard to please the nanny. Because I knew that I was a child abandoned by my parents, and if I disobeyed them in the slightest, the nanny would abandon me."
"At that time, I didn't dare go out because as soon as I did, the children would throw mud and vegetable leaves at me. They said I was an unwanted child, so no matter how they bullied me, no one would stand up for me."
Her smile was as thin as paper, tears welling up in her eyes. "One time, I was completely mad, so I picked up a stone and threw it at a boy. I accidentally hit him on the forehead, and he bled a lot. His mother came to our house to make a scene, and she made the nanny pay a lot of money."
"Although the money was given by the Liu family, ever since that day, Madam has been beating and scolding me. If I slack off even a little, she won't let me go back to my room to sleep and will lock me out."
She unconsciously curled up, as if unable to bear the cold: "The winter night is so cold, so chilly. The wind is like a knife, mercilessly cutting my whole body. Those days of dire straits, day after day, seem to be endless."
When Xiao Heng heard this, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles. He hugged her in his arms, tighter and tighter.
No one understands Liu Yuetang's feelings better than him.
Compared to Liu Yuetang's experience, his situation was much better.
After all, he is a prince, and no one in the palace dares to bully him openly.
He also met Empress Wen Yi, who loved him.
But what about her? She was struggling alone in the darkness.
Xiao Heng's voice became hoarse: "It's over."
"Yeah...it's over." Liu Yuetang smiled brightly.
"I thought that this was all I would live for in my life. But I never expected that I would meet the Emperor."
She looked at Xiao Heng infatuatedly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
"You are like a ray of light that shines into my dark world. You have given me grace, glory, and so many things I have never seen before. You have let me know that I, Liu Yuetang, can live such a good life."
What she said was true, even though Xiao Heng had no feelings for her but only doted on her.
But the grace, status and glory he gave to himself were real.
Everything she ate, used, and the furnishings in the palace were all in the rank of Jieyushi.
She pressed herself against his chest and whispered, "So, I want to be the light in your heart. Even if this light is small, it is enough if it can illuminate and warm your heart a little bit."
Xiao Heng was moved, his eyes gradually burning: "Tang'er, thank you for coming to my side."
He hugged Liu Yuetang for a long time and whispered in her ear, "Just now you said that Liu Yuetang could live so well."
"I want to tell you that Liu Yuetang will live a better life."
"Because... you are good enough and deserve better."
