"I don't want you to tell me!" Yuan Jiang turned her face away, her fair and pretty face flushed red, and she angrily retorted in a soft voice. She reached out to grab the clothes in Xie Guanlan's hand, but accidentally pulled the wound on her back, and she frowned and gasped in pain.
Xie Guanlan sneered in anger, his violent and cold face becoming gloomy.
"Princess, you have a stubborn temper. Why don't you tell me? You are my prisoner of war. You must do whatever I want you to do, otherwise..."
The tone was filled with threats.
Since he ascended the throne as the new emperor of the Daxing Dynasty, this was the first time someone dared to lose his temper with him, but he didn't get angry at all. He was so mean and just loved to provoke her anger. He really annoyed the princess, and in the end, he was the one who was furious to death!
"I really don't want to part with you, but whether your elder sister dies or not depends on how the princess behaves."
Xie Guanlan said this lightly, and the next second, he clearly saw Yuan Jiang's face suddenly turn pale, with fear and panic in her eyes. Her tender lips trembled slightly as she stared at him blankly.
Xie Guanlan's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned, wondering if he had said something too harsh and scared this delicate princess.
He was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "As long as the princess pleases me, I will give her whatever she wants."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent again.
Yuan Jiang tugged at her waist-length black hair, bit the soft flesh inside her lip, and nervously raised her thick eyelashes as she stared pitifully at Xie Guanlan: "Really, Your Majesty?"
Xie Guanlan's body stiffened, his eyes darkened, and he nodded and replied in a hoarse voice, "You are not joking."
A wicked smile flashed in Yuan Jiang's eyes. Xie Guanlan grew up in the cold palace since he was a child. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have always been powerful and mean. Xie Guanlan was forgotten and despised by the previous emperor. As a result, Xie Guanlan was also looked down upon by everyone. Anyone could step on Xie Guanlan.
Xie Guanlan, who grew up in this cold and distorted environment full of calculations, had an unpredictable temperament, was extremely cunning, violent and sinister. He would do anything to get what he wanted, including killing his father and relatives a year ago. All the princes and princesses were killed by him personally.
Therefore, she couldn't act coquettishly or deliberately seduce him, otherwise Xie Guanlan would become suspicious.
Besides...
A hint of deep thought flashed in Yuan Jiang's eyes. Besides, Xie Guanlan had such a bad past. She couldn't take the initiative, otherwise it would backfire.
If everything was done under her guidance and Xie Guanlan took the initiative to extend an olive branch to her, she only needed to accept it, and her future as queen would be a matter of course.
"I understand." Yuan Jiang lowered her thick, long eyelashes, and gradually loosened her clenched fingers. She slowly moved towards Xie Guanlan: "Then I will trouble your majesty."
Xie Guanlan's body suddenly stiffened, and then he coughed uncomfortably, looking down and pondering which piece of clothing to put on first. He had only worn clothes for himself, but men's and women's clothes were different, so he could only put them on her one by one according to his memory of when he took them off.
Even though Xie Guanlan helped Yuan Jiang dress carefully, Yuan Jiang looked down at the wrinkled clothes and immediately frowned, looking unhappy and disgusted.
"I didn't rub the clothes, they wrinkled by themselves." Xie Guanlan's heart skipped a beat.
"But it's really ugly."
The delicate voice fell into his ears, and Xie Guanlan felt his mouth dry. He stretched out his scarlet tongue to lick his lips, turned his head away stiffly, and said coldly, "I will improve in the future."
Isn't it just about wearing clothes? He has already ascended the throne, so why would he be worried about not being able to dress a woman properly?
He must be unskilled yet.
Xie Guanlan thought silently in her heart, and her slender and well-defined hands tightened her belt. She leaned back out of habit, while he just lowered his head.
Something soft and fragrant brushed past his nose.
Xie Guanlan suddenly froze.
"You!" Yuan Jiang's face flushed red, she covered her chest tightly, and the snow-white skin of her neck was slightly pink. She gritted her teeth and glared at him shyly, with a blush around her beautiful fox eyes.
In Xie Guanlan's opinion, this is more like a loving expression.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down heavily, and the veins on his long arms hidden under his sleeves bulged. He turned his head away and said in a hard tone, "I didn't mean it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he got off the carriage.
The speed was so fast that it seemed like he was fleeing in panic.
The moment the curtain was lowered, the shy and slightly angry expression on Yuan Jiang's face disappeared without a trace. She leaned weakly against the edge of the carriage, and raised her lips in a funny way.
This Xie Guanlan is really interesting. A few days ago, he took off her clothes and touched her all over. Rumi just touched her, but she is shy?
After that, wouldn’t Xie Guanlan be ashamed to death?
The little fox covered his lips and laughed so hard that his body shook.
Xie Guanlan strode towards the periphery. He felt that breathing became difficult and his whole body felt uncomfortable when he got close to the carriage. When he was further away, the feeling of being enveloped by the fragrance was slightly relieved. He exhaled heavily.
