"Oh, okay." Yan Xi drank obediently in small sips.
Xiao Jingwen drank the porridge and looked at him, enjoying the feeling of peaceful time.
It was as if they were an ordinary couple, living an ordinary but happy life.
Yan Xi faced the young man's scorching gaze, her ears were stained with a hint of crimson, and some images jumped out of her mind uncontrollably.
"Cough cough..." Yan Xi was suddenly choked by his own unbridled thoughts and quickly turned his head to cough.
Xiao Jingwen frowned, put down what he was holding, poured him a glass of water, and patted his back, "Are you feeling better?"
Yan Xi didn't feel so bad anymore, and glanced at him quickly, "Much better."
"Why are you so careless? I told you to eat slowly." Xiao Jingwen bent down and wiped the corner of his lips.
Yan Xi stared at him blankly with her wet eyes, her five fingers unconsciously clasping the teacup.
My heartbeat speeds up uncontrollably.
He seemed very excited, yet also very nervous.
Catching a glimpse of his focused gaze, Xiao Jingwen slowed down and looked at him quietly.
The next second, Yan Xi noticed that it had darkened in front of him, and his forehead felt slightly hot, but it disappeared immediately, and the light returned to his eyes.
Yan Xi widened his eyes, his face flushed slightly, and his thoughts were a little confused.
Xiao Jingwen stared at him, his thin lips parted, "Yanxi, do you... hate me treating you like this?"
Hearing this, the young man curled up his fingers, his face slightly flustered, lowered his head, his hands trembling from nervousness, not knowing how to respond.
Xiao Jingwen's eyes were dark and he felt a little lost. He knew he couldn't push too hard, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he comforted him, "It's okay. Eat quickly. It will get cold soon. I... have some things to take care of. Just wait for me to come back."
Yan Xi felt dizzy and nodded absentmindedly.
Then, the sound of footsteps fading away was heard.
He was the only one left in the room.
After being stunned for a long while, Yan Xi touched his forehead, his eyes full of confusion.
Is it annoying?
It seems... not disgusting, even... a little secretly sweet and smug.
It’s like secretly eating a piece of fruit jelly, so soft and sweet, and I want to eat another one.
But, isn’t it a bad thing for them to do this?
They are all men, and...his mission is to counterattack and become the male protagonist, so he should make such intimate gestures with the female protagonist.
You shouldn't do this with the male lead...
Yan Xi's mind was a mess and he immediately lost his appetite. The porridge and chicken legs that he had thought were sweet and delicious just now became tasteless.
…
The underground dungeon in Magnolia Square.
It was damp and cold, and so quiet that you could hear the sound of dripping water.
Two black-faced men were guarding the gate of the water dungeon.
Xiao Jingwen stepped forward.
Seeing this, the black-faced man knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Master."
Xiao Jingwen glanced at the two of them expressionlessly.
The black-faced man activated the stone gate, and with a loud bang, the stone gate slowly opened. Xiao Jingwen walked lightly and came to a platform.
There was cold water below, and in the middle was a huge stone pillar with a woman with disheveled hair tied to it.
The other party saw him and struggled a few times, with a dark glint of resentment in his eyes. He used all his strength to roar, "Let me out!"
Xiao Jingwen's expression was calm, without any ripples. "You are already a dead man. What will happen if I let you go?"
Concubine Shu glared at him angrily, "If you have the guts, kill me! Come on!"
Xiao Jingwen shook his head and smiled, but his eyes were as cold as a glacier that had been silent for a thousand years. "Death is too easy for you. You should enjoy the last moments of your life."
Concubine Shu looked at his chilling expression, bit her lip, and a layer of cold sweat crawled down her back. She pretended to be calm and sneered, "Don't think that I will speak just like that."
Xiao Jingwen glanced at her coldly, found a seat, and tapped his fingertips on his knees slowly. He spoke slowly and calmly, "After your son was deemed a demon, that person ordered him to be imprisoned for life. He will never have a chance to become emperor. In addition, the Marquis of Zhenbei was demoted to the border and will probably never return."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shu's mind buzzed, and she finally couldn't hold it in any longer. The last psychological barrier collapsed and she collapsed emotionally. "No, it's impossible. You must have lied to me. Your Majesty, you wouldn't do this to me! He said he would love me forever, and that he would love me and my family too. Your Majesty would never do that!"
Xiao Jingwen looked at the yelling woman indifferently.
After howling for a long time, Concubine Shu suddenly laughed softly, her laughter was desolate, "Do you think he really likes your mother?! You are wrong, if he did, why would he allow me to frame your mother!"
Xiao Jingwen paused for a moment, his emotions unchanged. "This matter, I don't need to know. You only need to tell me the truth about the genocide of the Ji family forty years ago."
Concubine Shu's body stiffened slightly, then she calmed down and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
The young man opposite looked at her coldly, "You are worried about your son and the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Concubine Shu was silent.
Xiao Jingwen had a blank expression on his face: "That person will not let you go. Once found, none of you will survive."
After a pause, he added: "This king can spare their lives."
Concubine Shu looked up at him with a desperate expression in her eyes, "I don't know much."
