Chapter 421 You Can’t Do It
Chu Liuzheng gasped as the iron palm around his waist tightened around him, and he said tearfully, "It hurts."
[Damn tyrant, are you going to be reborn by hanging yourself? You're so strong! If you want to strangle me to death, just say so!]
Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan, who was furious, suddenly came to his senses and let go of his hand.
The struggling Chu Liuzheng fell on his chest unexpectedly, gasping for breath rapidly, and felt a circle of bruises on his waist.
Suddenly, a surge of nameless anger surged in her heart.
There was no way to hide or escape, so he could only go along with it, endure it, and coax it. After so many days had passed smoothly, and when he was about to accumulate enough merit and see some hope of leaving the palace, the emperor suddenly showed up and made such a scene.
Yes, yes, she was wrong to have gotten drunk and tried to molest the emperor last night, but she didn't do anything, did she? He only touched her face; he didn't even see her abs. Was her crime so heinous that she had to face the emperor's madness the moment she woke up?
Being promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine, she would be showered with honors and grace, and wealth and splendor would be within her reach. Regardless of whether others were willing or not, Chu Liuzheng was unwilling to do so.
You can say she doesn't know what's good for her, that she's hypocritical, or that she's stupid and doesn't know how to weigh things, she just doesn't want to!
She may not mind how many exes her future partner has had, because who among adults doesn't have a past? But she does mind having three wives and four concubines and sharing!
She has no ambition to be the Queen Mother, nor is she interested in fighting. She must be crazy to agree to stay in the cannibalistic harem for a man!
Besides, there are so many men in the world, although they may not be able to match the emperor's elegance and grace, but even if she wants to marry, she wants to marry someone who only has her in his heart and eyes, and only has her by his side. The emperor was not in her choice of spouse from the beginning!
"Speak." Xiao Jingfan felt a little regretful that he had hurt the man just now, but as someone who was used to being coaxed, he couldn't bring himself to apologize. He could only urge him with a cold face, trying to get Chu Liuzheng to give in first, and then he would coax him properly.
Isn’t this woman the most sensible of the times?
【Bullshit! 】
Chu Liuzheng remained silent, fearing that if she opened her mouth she would point at the emperor's nose and call him a beast.
Xiao Jingfan waited for a while, but apart from that brief voice, he didn't hear another word.
Silence spread in the tent, and the door curtain was blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.
Chu Liuzheng pursed his lips and tried to get up from the emperor. How could Xiao Jingfan let go? He subconsciously hugged him tightly, but heard a groan of pain. He quickly loosened his grip and coaxed him with a frown, "Be good and don't mess with me."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liuzheng, who had originally suppressed his anger and tried to find a way to cover up the matter, exploded.
Who is making trouble?
Who is running here going crazy?
She raised her eyes angrily and glared at the emperor, "You bastard!"
Xiao Jingfan was stunned by the scolding.
Many people cursed him in secret, but Chu Liuzheng was the first one who dared to call him a bastard to his face.
He didn't feel angry at all, and even smiled in surprise, asking, "How am I a bastard?"
"Everyone is a bastard!" Chu Liuzheng risked his life and stared at him, "I don't want to, but you force me by force, you are a bastard!"
It's better to be willing to speak than to keep silent. Xiao Jingfan patiently held her tightly, "Why not? As long as you are willing, I can give you anything you want."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liuzheng curled his lips and sneered, showing great disdain.
Xiao Jingfan frowned: "You don't believe it?"
"You can't give me what I want." Chu Liuzheng raised his chin slightly, reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled it forward.
The scent of jasmine and sandalwood collided, and the distance between them instantly shortened, and they could hear each other's breath. Xiao Jingfan's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the person's waist, but then he loosened his grip slightly, worried about hurting the person.
He asked, "What do you want?"
Staring at the clear reflection in the black pupils, Chu Liuzheng raised his hand, and his snow-white arms slid down from his wide sleeves. He loosely hooked his arms around the young man's neck, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Xiao Jingfan was slightly taken aback by the intimate gesture, which had never occurred to him before. The delicate fragrance of jasmine filled his face, and his heartbeats collided with each other. His warm breath brushed against his fair earlobe. "I want... to take only one scoop from the three thousand rivers. Your Majesty, can you do it?"
Xiao Jingfan was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Chu Liuzheng tilted his head, touching noses with his, their lips almost touching, his almond eyes bright and his smile alluring: "All three thousand concubines in the harem are gone, I... am at your disposal."
Her voice was soft, like the alluring chant of a siren.
Xiao Jingfan's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes became terrifyingly gloomy.
He was a normal man, the woman he loved was in his arms, smiling sweetly, her plump, rosy lips just within reach, ready for him to pick. He only needed to lean forward and capture this scent.
But... he slowly raised his hand and pulled down the arm that was around his neck, suspicion and scrutiny uncontrollably appearing in his eyes.
"See, you can't do it." Chu Liuzheng looked at his arms that were pulled apart and sneered. He had already expected the emperor to make this choice.
She stared into those deep eyes and said, "You are a wise ruler, a sage ruler. You have to balance the court and the harem. You only care about the country and the people, and never about your children's personal feelings."
She stood up from the emperor's lap, took two steps back, and bowed in a very proper manner. Both her expression and tone returned to normal.
"This servant has spoken nonsense, offending a superior by being lowly. I will be punished as you wish."
*
It was noon and the sun was scorching brightly.
Under the thick green shade of the trees, a person was kneeling upright.
Chu Liuzheng lowered his head slightly and counted the passing ants boredly.
[One hundred and thirty-two, one hundred and thirty-three... Wait, this one and one hundred look like the same one. There are so many ants, is it going to rain?]
"Eunuch Zhou, why did His Majesty punish Sister Liuzheng to kneel?" As soon as Chen Xing and Si Yue came back, they learned that Chu Liuzheng was punished. They hurried over and wanted to tear Zhou Yuande's sleeves off.
Zhou Yuande struggled to pull his sleeves back together, then sighed at the person under the tree. "Being too stubborn isn't a good thing in the palace. Once she's thought it through, His Majesty will naturally let her go."
Chen Xing asked, "Think clearly about what?"
Zhou Yuande kept silent, but just sighed again while holding his whisk.
I originally thought that Your Majesty would soon get what he wished for, but looking at the situation, there is still a lot of trouble to go.
The eunuch didn't understand. The sea of women who wanted to accompany the emperor into the palace was overwhelming, demonstrating the numerous advantages of such a position. Chu Liuzheng, known for his tact, was constantly pushing these advantages away. Now that he had truly angered His Majesty, Chu Liuzheng's future was likely to be anything but easy.
He had some affection for Chu Liuzheng in his heart, and also wanted his Majesty to be at ease, so he had just gone over to persuade him several times, but Chu Liuzheng was the type who refused to listen and would rather kneel than bow his head to the emperor.
The eunuch was worried. Why was he so stubborn?
Chen Xing wanted to ask more questions, but Miyue pulled her and winked at her.
Chen Xing shut up and left with her.
When they reached a less crowded area, Chen Xing anxiously asked, "What ideas do you have?"
