Chapter 11 Is He Allergic to Women?
[Such a handsome emperor died young, what a waste of talent! I must hurry up to win his favor and have a baby with him, so that when he dies, I can become the queen mother! ]
[But, he is allergic to women, so he shouldn't be able to do anything overly intimate with them, right?]
[Wait! He's hugging me so tightly now, and he doesn't look like he's having an allergy! ]
Murong Che was so shocked that he forgot about this. After her inner voice reminded him, he lowered his head to look at his hand that was holding Xue Youli.
What's going on?
In the past, whenever a woman came near him, he would feel dizzy and nauseous, and if they had skin contact, he would break out in a rash.
And at this moment, he held Xue Youli for such a long time, why didn't he feel any discomfort at all?
"Father, I want to go down."
At this moment, a soft and tender baby voice interrupted Murong Che's thoughts.
Murong Che glanced at the little girl in Xue Youli's arms who was waving her arms and trying to get off the ground, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, "Okay."
He took his hand away from Xue Youli's waist, and Xue Youli immediately put the little girl back on the ground.
Murong Xi immediately stood up straight, raised her white and tender little hands, and saluted to Murong Che in a proper manner, "Your son pays respects to the emperor."
Xue Youli also hurriedly bowed, "Your Highness, I am your concubine."
After Murong Che let go of Xue Youli, he found that the sound in his ear also disappeared.
He looked down at his hands, then at Xue Youli, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Xue Youli felt the man's gaze, and before she could think of what to say, the man suddenly reached out again and pressed on her shoulder.
[Why is Murong Che looking at me like that? And touching my shoulder? Is he mesmerized by my beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon and flowers blush? ]
[It's okay to be fascinated by me. After all, I am naturally beautiful. Plus, I just saved the little princess so bravely. I must have left a good impression on him! If he is happy and rewards me with some gold, silver or jewelry, that would be even better!]
Murong Che took his hand away from Xue Youli's shoulder, and the voice in his ear disappeared.
What kind of enchantress is this woman? When he touches her, he doesn't feel shortness of breath or disgusted, and he can even hear her inner thoughts.
It's really unbelievable!
Seeing Xue Youli looking at him with a puzzled look on her face, Murong Che took the petal from her shoulder and held it in front of her eyes, "You have this on your shoulder."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xue Youli curled her brows and smiled sweetly at him. Her smile made the peach blossoms on the tree behind her dim a little.
Oh no! It turned out that I was just removing the petals for her, and she was so happy for nothing.
After Murong Che was sure that he could hear her inner voice by touching her, he turned his gaze and looked at the little girl standing next to Xue Youli again, "You naughty boy, the maids in Yonghe Palace said you were missing, and your mother was anxiously looking for you everywhere, why did you come to Yu Garden alone?"
Due to his own reasons, Murong Che rarely gets close to this nominal daughter.
So, when Murong Xi saw him frowning, she felt a little scared.
She pointed her chubby little hand at the kite hanging on the peach tree and said carefully, "Father, please don't be angry. I came here chasing the kite. But the kite was blown up to the tree by the strong wind. The tree is too high, and I can't reach the kite..."
As the little girl spoke, her voice became lower and lower, with an aggrieved expression on her little face.
Seeing this, Murong Che leaped up, grabbed the kite with his long arms, and easily took it down. "Take it, your mother is in the plum garden."
"Thank you, Father!"
Murong Xi shouted happily, took the kite, and ran away in a flash.
Under the peach tree, only Xue Youli was left standing there quietly. Her round almond-shaped eyes blinked twice, making her look particularly innocent and well-behaved.
But Murong Che knew that this woman only looked gentle and docile on the outside, but was very bold in her heart.
In order to eavesdrop on her thoughts again, the man walked up to Xue Youli, raised his big hand, pinched her chin, lifted her face up, and made her look at him.
Xue Youli stared into his amber peach eyes and just looked at him.
As she looked at him, her eyes became uncontrollably hot, as if she was seeing her long-admired lover.
[I spent a lot of time in the hospital in my previous life, and I thought I couldn't bear the pain of childbirth. Now seeing Murong Che's looks, I suddenly feel that the pain of childbirth is not something I can't bear.]
[Look at this! These deep eyebrows, high nose bridge, and perfect jawline, just based on my and his stunning good looks, what a good-looking child we'll have! ]
This woman has good taste.
As an unparalleled handsome emperor, Murong Che had heard a lot of compliments, but when he heard Xue Youli praising himself so much in his heart, his self-esteem as a man was greatly satisfied.
However, before he could even raise his lips, he heard Xue Youli's inner voice again: [Seeing how Murong Che is bewitched by me, I feel like I'm one step closer to becoming the Queen Mother!]
Is it one step closer to King Yan's Palace?
Murong Che's eyebrows jumped, but he quickly suppressed his exposed emotions, "What's your name?"
Xue Youli had no idea that she was jumping back and forth on the brink of death, and she thought that her beauty had attracted the man's attention.
Her thick eyelashes trembled, and she glanced at the man shyly, "My concubine is Xue Youli, the daughter of Xue Huaiyuan, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple."
Murong Che had some impression of Xue Huaiyuan. This man solved a major case two years ago and was directly transferred to the Dali Temple.
However, he and Xue Huaiyuan's daughter clearly had no connection, so why did Xue Youli know his secret so well?
She even predicted that she would not live past the age of 25. What was her basis for this?
"I... cough... cough cough..." As soon as he started to speak, Murong Che started coughing while holding his chest.
"Oh, Your Majesty!"
Wang Defa, the chief eunuch who was standing not far away, heard the cough and hurried forward with a nervous look on his face. "It's windy in the Yu Garden, be careful not to catch a cold. How about I help you back to Zicheng Palace?"
Xue Youli felt the breeze blowing towards her, "..."
Such a comfortable spring breeze could actually make Murong Che feel cold?
How bad is his physical condition?
No wonder he didn’t live past 25!
However, Murong Che is already twenty-one years old, and if we cut off the head and tail, he only has about three years left to live.
And getting pregnant is not something that can be achieved in one go. After ten months of pregnancy and giving birth, she still has to take care of herself during the confinement period. There is not much time left for her!
Thinking about this, Xue Youli pushed Wang Defa aside and took the initiative to help Murong Che's arm, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do. Why don't you let me help you go back?"
The man lowered his eyes and glanced at the pair of delicate hands that were carefully holding his arms, his eyes darkened a little.
The next moment, he raised his hand and pinched her fair and tender face, and replied with a low word, "Yeah."
He touched Xue Youli's face to further verify what it would be like if he had skin-to-skin contact with her.
As expected, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Xue Youli was an exception for him and it didn't matter how he touched her.
Seeing the man agree immediately, Xue Youli couldn't help but curl her lips with pride.
[If the soldiers are strong, attack their generals; if the generals are wise, attack their emotions. As expected, no man can escape the beauty trap, not even an emperor with three thousand beauties in his harem. ]
Murong Che's eyes darkened for a moment, and a meaningful curve appeared on his thin lips.
Who doesn't know how to use the beauty trap?
After he finds out her background, he will decide how to deal with this woman who wants to outlast him and become the queen mother.
