Chapter 192 I Don’t Want to Hurt You
Xie Chen keenly sensed that the woman's tone was wrong, and he looked up.
The woman had a blank expression on her face, and was surprisingly angry, which was rare for her.
Xie Chen laughed: "Is Tingyue angry or jealous?"
He is happy no matter what. He is jealous because he likes her, and he is angry even more because he likes her.
This just shows that she cares about him.
Pei Tingyue lowered his eyes and did not answer.
She was in a bad mood because she was a germaphobe. Once something was confirmed to be hers, no one else could touch it.
But she didn't need to explain, so she just let the emperor misunderstand.
Seeing her fall silent, Xie Chen's eyes flashed with a smile. He then patiently explained, "Tingyue, don't be upset. I didn't even look at Luo Shi, nor did I let her succeed. I'll soak in ice water here overnight. Once the effects of the medicine wear off, I'll deal with her."
Pei Tingyue asked in confusion, "Why is the emperor so obsessed with using ice water? The most effective method is right in front of him, but he refuses to use it?"
"Hmm." Xie Chen's throat rolled, and he restrained himself again and again, then said, "This medicine is very effective. I'm afraid it will hurt Tingyue."
Pei Tingyue tilted her head and whispered, "But I am willing. I would also feel distressed if Your Majesty soaked in cold water for a night. What's more, I believe Your Majesty that you will not let me get hurt."
Xie Chen watched her rosy lips opening and closing, his breathing became heavier, and his voice was hoarse: "But..."
"No buts." Pei Tingyue saw his desire and kissed his slightly cold lips, "I miss the emperor very much."
Xie Chen was defeated by this sentence. He groaned, "Wait a moment, I want to ask Xia Yuan to judge some matters."
Pei Tingyue was puzzled. What was Guan Xiayuan judging?
While she was puzzled, Xie Chen got up from the ice water, went out for a while, and came back after a long time.
When he came back, his steps were hurried and his eyes became extremely hot. It was obvious that he could no longer suppress the effects of the medicine.
Before Pei Tingyue could say anything, he pulled her into the water and kissed her in the pool.
Amidst the mist, the atmosphere heated up rapidly.
After the passionate kiss, Xie Chen nuzzled the tip of the woman's nose and asked, "Is Tingyue happy?"
Pei Tingyue complained: "The emperor is not paying attention."
She kissed the man on the chin again.
As if to erase the traces, he licked and bit it gently.
Xie Chen had been enduring to the extreme, and now he was provoked again, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
He leaned forward slightly and pressed his cool lips against the fragrant and soft flesh again.
He rubbed and rolled on those cherry lips and kissed along her neck.
But Pei Tingyue was not afraid of death and sobbed in his ear. Xie Chen was afraid of losing control, so he reached out and covered her lips.
Pei Tingyue hummed with red eyes. When she felt comfortable, she started to bite him. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she kicked him.
This medicine is really effective.
It was fine at the beginning, Xie Chen still had some rationality, but after he got addicted to it, he became addicted and didn't know the seriousness of the matter.
He didn't stop even after being slapped.
Instead, it became even more ferocious.
It was as if he wanted to tear the woman apart and eat her.
The slap in the face was returned fiercely elsewhere.
The candlelight flickers and the shadows of people overlap.
The whole palace is filled with spring colors until dawn.

After cleaning Pei Tingyue, Xie Chen carried her back to the bedroom.
He sat down in front of the couch with a smile on his face, his expression filled with contentment and refreshment. He looked at her quietly for a moment before whispering, "Thank you for your hard work."
If Pei Tingyue was awake.
I'll definitely give him a slap.
Just because this guy is such a beast!
It’s a pity that she read so many pages of the booklet.
It was of no use at all.
This person holds all the initiative, and she is at a disadvantage.
It's so infuriating that my teeth are itching.
After looking at her sweet sleeping face for a while, Xie Chen did not rest. He put away the smile on his lips and left the inner bedroom silently.
"Where's Luo?"
Liang Yao also did not sleep all night, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes, looking like he had a very miserable life.
At this time, he quickly replied: "Imprisoned."
Xie Chen responded: "Have you asked clearly? Where did the medicine come from?"
Concubine Luo has been in the palace for a very short time. Although the Luo family is a third-rank official, their abilities are limited to the previous dynasty, and it is impossible for them to know about this secret medicine from the previous dynasty.
Only those who have been in the palace for a long time and have seniority know about it and have the ability to get it.
Therefore, there must be someone behind Concubine Luo.
Liang Yao said respectfully, "This Concubine Luo couldn't stand the fright and confessed after a while. It was Concubine Chen who ordered her to give the medicine."
Xie Chen was not surprised.
This is not the first or second time that Concubine Chen has been so tactless.
He thought about it for a moment.
I immediately understood what Concubine Chen was planning.
This is because she failed to get the second prince, so she wanted to make Concubine Luo pregnant and use this child to fight for the throne.
A little concubine is so bold that she dares to plot for the throne.
Xie Chen said in a cold voice, "Go and call King Xuan."
After receiving the order, Liang Yao went to do it.
After the princes and important officials in the capital followed the emperor to Jiangzhou, they lived in several mansions next to the palace. Among them, Prince Xuan’s mansion was the closest to the palace.
Therefore, it took no more than half a quarter of an hour from the time Xie Chen gave the order to the time he met King Xuan.
King Xuan had been deploying troops in the southwest with Concubine Song these days, and only last night did he finally have some free time.
Finally, he could embrace the soft, fragrant and warm beauty. King Xuan had thought that he would indulge in the beauty for a few days, but he had not even spent a night with her and was called back before dawn.
However, he knew his royal brother's temperament. If it wasn't a very important matter, he wouldn't have summoned him to the palace at this time.
Therefore, King Xuan was extremely serious.
"Your Majesty has summoned me here. Is there anything you can do for me?"
Xie Chen sat on the couch and tapped the table. "Yesterday, someone broke into my bedroom without permission."
King Xuan opened his eyes wide, thinking it was an assassin sent by Xie Sheng, and asked hurriedly, "Are there any survivors?"
Xie Chen knew what he was thinking and said directly, "It's not Xie Sheng's people, it's Luo Jieyu."
King Xuan was very surprised to hear this name.
After the accident, his face looked ugly again.
This Concubine Luo broke into the emperor's bedroom without permission, and the emperor's brother called her over. Does that mean...
This matter is related to his mother.
He clearly warned...
Xie Chen continued, "Not only did Concubine Luo trespass into the emperor's bedroom, she also drugged me. Liang Yao interrogated me and found out that the drug was given by Concubine Chen."
The guess came true, and King Xuan's heart sank to the bottom.
Uncontrollable coldness in hands and feet.
Drugged the emperor! His mother actually did something so life-threatening!
His face turned pale and he moved his lips, but no sound came out.
Xie Chen glanced at him and said, "Fourth brother, what do you think should be done?"
I used a short-term address and asked for his opinion.
This is a crime for which one can escape death but cannot escape punishment while alive.
King Xuan was grateful and immediately knelt deeply on the ground.
"Allow me to return to the capital and send my mother to the imperial mausoleum so that she can accompany my father for the rest of her life."
Xie Chen was very satisfied with this treatment. It prevented the "revenge for killing his mother" from alienating the relationship between the brothers, and also prevented Concubine Chen from completely disappearing from the palace and unable to rise again.
He nodded gently: "Go quickly and come back soon. Don't worry about Jiangzhou. I will ask Concubine De to summon your concubines to the palace more often to relax."
King Xuan left.
After dealing with this matter, Xie Chen was about to go into the palace to accompany Pei Tingyue to rest, when another uninvited guest came - Concubine Song.
