Su Tiyue lay on her side, quietly gazing at the sleeping man beside her, her thoughts swirling.
...
When Su Tiyue first entered the palace, she already knew the late emperor's character.
So he often prayed silently in his heart that she would not be favored, and that he would never have to think of her as Consort Shu in his life.
Later, when she met Xiao Heye, Su Tiyue was afraid of his immense power and ruthless methods, so she always secretly hoped that he would treat her better and better.
Now that Zhou Tingyue has ascended the throne, he has promised to let Su Tiyue leave the palace and give her a free and unrestrained life.
However, at this time, Su Tiyue had already become entangled in an ambiguous relationship with Xiao Heye.
As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard.
I'm afraid Xiao Heye won't let Su Tiyue leave the palace so easily. Even if she does leave, Su Tiyue won't escape Xiao Heye's grasp.
Moreover, Su Tiyue had said she wouldn't run away again, and she didn't have the guts to run away anymore.
Sometimes, people have a deep obsession with things they haven't gotten.
Xiao Heye has said more than once that he wants her.
Knowing she couldn't escape, Su Tiyue steeled herself and fulfilled her promise to Xiao Heye.
Perhaps if Xiao Heye had everything about Su Tiyue, he wouldn't be so obsessed with keeping her by his side.
Perhaps one day he will get tired of her and let her go on his own.
Su Tiyue thought, "I hope that day comes soon..."
With her slender, fair fingertips gently lifted, Su Tiyue lightly touched his face, tracing his sharply defined features.
Aside from his identity as a fake eunuch, there's more to Xiao Zhangyin's story.
There seem to be many, many more secrets...
The quilt stirred slightly, and before Su Tiyue could react, Xiao Heye had already grabbed her wrist, though he did not open his eyes.
With his eyes slightly closed, he gently squeezed Su Tiyue's wrist, his voice languid: "Not letting people sleep so early in the morning, Your Majesty, could it be that you're thinking about it again...?"
Hearing him say that, Su Tiyue blushed immediately. "I didn't. Don't talk nonsense."
She tried to pull her wrist away from his grasp, but Xiao Heye not only didn't let go, but also pulled her into his arms.
Xiao Heye, with his long arms and legs, encircled her small body in his arms.
He slowly opened his eyes, carefully examining the red marks left by the intimate encounter on Su Tiyue's body, and clicked his tongue softly, "No wonder she's so afraid of pain, Your Highness is too delicate."
If she had exerted herself more last night, Su Tiyue might not even be able to get out of bed today.
Su Tiyue didn't want to be held by him like this, but unfortunately she really didn't have any extra strength.
They didn't even have the strength to speak.
Her head rested gently on his arm, and a faint sandalwood scent wafted from her breath.
"Your Majesty, why?" Xiao Heye held her soft, boneless body, his voice gentle.
"What?"
Xiao Heye said, "You were clearly so scared, why did you suddenly make this decision? This servant thought we would have to wait a long time... maybe never..."
So that's what he was asking.
She frowned and thought for a moment, then said gently, "I just want to stop the palm print from overthinking."
"Hmm?" he murmured, the word coming out of his throat.
Xiao Heye seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this answer.
Su Tiyue parted her pink lips slightly, her fingers suddenly covering his strong and muscular chest, and whispered, "When I'm with Zhangyin, no matter what crisis we encounter or what dangerous situation we are in, you always make me feel at ease and give me a lot of security."
"This is what the Master made for me. So... I also want to give the Master some sense of security. I don't want you to be bothered by others or by things from the past. I have never thought of remaining chaste for someone else. I am just afraid, not unwilling... Can the Master understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Also, could you please stop bringing up those past events? Actually, it was the Master who kept bringing them up, not me." Su Tiyue said, sounding aggrieved.
It was Xiao Heye who kept bringing up the past in a sarcastic and unsettling way, and the more the two talked about it, the angrier they became, as if he was the one making trouble for himself from beginning to end.
His displeasure will indirectly cause Su Tiyue to suffer some inexplicable hardships.
Su Tiyue had truly had enough of this torment.
So he made up his mind to end it all... so that Xiao Heye would have no reason to cause trouble again.
Xiao Heye took a deep breath, reached out and grasped Su Tiyue's fingers that were resting on his chest, and the gloomy expression on his face relaxed. "This servant will listen to Your Majesty and will not mention those things again. Between us, we should only talk about you and me, and have nothing to do with others."
Looking at him tenderly with her watery eyes, Su Tiyue said, "Master, could you please stop getting angry at me for no reason? Could you be a little nicer to me? Don't scare me or threaten me. Can we... live in harmony?"
"Oh……"
He gently kissed Su Tiyue's forehead, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Your Majesty, are you trying to make a request of this servant?"
"No, no, no, this isn't a request. It's an understanding between us. If the Master treats me well, I'll treat the Master well in return... right?" Su Tiyue blinked, looking at him with an innocent expression.
Only after experiencing it firsthand do you realize that the price you pay for negotiating with Xiao Heye is beyond what most people can imagine.
If she could, Su Tiyue would never want to make that kind of request to him again in her life.
"I will listen to Your Majesty, and I will certainly treat you even better from now on." Xiao Heye paused, then said, "In bed too..."
