Chapter 425 I am a genius
"What punishment do you want me to give you?" Xiao Jingfan's tone turned cold. "Expel you from the palace?"
"Okay..." Chu Liuzheng was delighted, but when he looked up and saw the emperor's dark face, he quickly swallowed the rest of his words, causing his expression to become a little distorted.
Xiao Jingfan gritted his teeth, but he was reluctant to punish the man as he had just woken up. His chest rose and fell rapidly, his cheeks flushed, and he was furious.
[Oh my god, the tyrant wants to eat people! ]
Chu Liuzheng sensed danger and quietly retreated.
Xiao Jingfan's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to grab her arm and pulled her towards him.
Chu Liuzheng lost his balance and lunged towards the emperor. His nose slammed into his sturdy chest, causing him pain. His breath was filled with the scent of sandalwood.
She subconsciously struggled, but was held tighter. A helpless whisper came to her ear: "Can't you just stop making me angry?"
Chu Liuzheng paused, with countless question marks popping up in his head.
[It's unfair! When did I ever make the tyrant angry?]
I just followed the tyrant's every word, not daring to refute a single word. How could he be so angry? If the tyrant knew I was secretly calling him a despicable bastard, wouldn't he be so mad he'd turn bald sooner or later?
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He narrowed his eyes, a dark light flashed in them, and he opened his mouth and bit the white earlobe in front of him.
"Hmm." Chu Liuzheng's body trembled, and he felt itchy and numb. Without thinking, he slapped the culprit.
Xiao Jingfan, very experienced, stretched out his hand to block it, and instead cupped the fair and soft hand in his palm, kneading it gently.
"Let go!" Chu Liuzheng gritted his teeth and shouted, his shoulders shaking and his back arched, struggling hard without caring about the pain.
Xiao Jingfan held her tightly in his mouth and wouldn't let go. He held her tightly around her slender waist and pressed her closer to him until there was no gap between them.
The scent of sandalwood made Chu Liuzheng's head dizzy, his earlobes were numbed from being sucked, and the blush spread from his ears to his cheeks and neck, dyeing his face a beautiful pink.
She clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making any strange noises.
A gentle breeze blew across the open box of perfume on the dressing table, bringing with it a whiff of the elegant fragrance of jasmine.
An unknown amount of time passed before the young man in black realized that the person in his arms had calmed down. He finally opened his mouth and spit out the soft meat he was holding.
The small piece turned from bright white to bright red, and it seemed like it would bleed if touched. It looked really pitiful.
Xiao Jingfan's eyes were dark, and he licked it as if possessed by some unknown force.
Chu Liuzheng shuddered, finally unable to hold back a low hum, the ending note rising with a hint of tenderness. His dense eyelashes trembled, lifting slightly, revealing the deep water in his eyes.
Xiao Jingfan was startled, "You—well!"
Someone bit Chu Liuzheng's shoulder with such force that it seemed as if he was biting off a piece of flesh from him.
Xiao Jingfan's neck veins popped out in pain, but he waved his hand in the dark, forbidding the secret guards to move.
He said, "Release."
"Uh (no)!"
Chu Liuzheng clung to him tightly with both hands, gritting his teeth tightly and refusing to let go. A smell of rust gradually filled his mouth.
Xiao Jingfan's shoulder was numb from the pain. He raised his hand to push the person away, but he caught a glimpse of the person biting him. The nose was red and twitching slightly, and a tear rolled down his eye.
This seems to be a signal.
Bean-sized tears fell one after another, plopped down, and together with his blood, soaked the clothes on his shoulders little by little, making it wet.
Xiao Jingfan was stunned.
This was the second time he saw Chu Liuzheng cry.
Last time, I was bullied and felt wronged in Huaqing Palace.
This time... He glanced at his red earlobe and pursed his lips, probably because he bullied her.
His eyes changed several times, but he couldn't bear to push her away. He sighed softly, raised his hands to hug her tighter, and kissed the top of her head lightly. His big hands with distinct joints stroked the satin-like hair again and again, and the force was soothing.
Surrounded by sandalwood, Chu Liuzheng unconsciously opened his mouth, and a vague, barely audible whimper came from his throat, like a bullied little animal, curled up into a ball, his slender white fingers tightly clenching the black fabric, even the knuckles turned white, as if they were digging into the flesh.
Xiao Jingfan's heart twitched as if pricked by a needle, and a sharp pain surged through his body. He blurted out soothing words: "Be good, don't cry. It's my fault. I won't bully you anymore, okay?"
The crying suddenly stopped. Chu Liuzheng raised his eyes, his eye sockets red and his eyelashes wet with tears. His voice was choked with sobs: "Golden words?"
"Yes." Xiao Jingfan raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face. His eyes and tone were very gentle. "Golden words and jade words."
Chu Liuzheng blinked, and another tear rolled down his cheek. He poked the wound on his shoulder with his finger and said, "I bit it."
Xiao Jingfan wiped her tears: "I don't blame you."
Chu Liuzheng's cheeks puffed slightly: "Don't tell anyone else."
Xiao Jingfan: "Okay."
Chu Liuzheng: "I'm hungry."
Xiao Jingfan: "What do you want to eat? I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare it and send it over."
Chu Liuzheng: "Porridge."
"Okay." Xiao Jingfan let go of the man, not caring about treating the wound on his shoulder. He wrung out a handkerchief to wipe the man's face. Looking at those watery eyes, his heart softened.
This woman is indeed his nemesis!
The Emperor, whose shoulder was aching, thought so.
Chu Liuzheng lay on the bed and blinked: "I'm sleepy."
"I have ordered the imperial kitchen to work faster. Wait for the porridge to be delivered. You can eat some before going to sleep." Xiao Jingfan pulled the quilt over her and gave her a few more instructions before leaving under Chu Liuzheng's gaze.
In reality, the Emperor didn't want to leave. It was rare for Chu Liuzheng to soften his stance, and he hoped to stay a little longer, perhaps coaxing him into staying. But the Emperor couldn't be too capricious, as the previous dynasty had too many affairs piled up, and a host of ministers awaited an audience.
Watching the door close, Chu Liuzheng lying on the bed patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster.
[Oh my goodness, luckily I was smart. Xijun managed to get away with such a serious crime punishable by death by just crying. I really am a genius!]
[Chu Liuzheng, ah Chu Liuzheng, you must not be so impulsive again! Fortunately, the tyrant is afraid of women crying, otherwise I would be in trouble today.]
At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly came from outside, "Your Majesty!"
Hearing the inner voice, the Emperor lost his balance and tragically fell down the stairs. As luck would have it, he hit the shoulder that was bitten and immediately broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
Chu Liuzheng hesitated for a moment, then put on his clothes and went out to look, but he only saw a dark figure.
"Why did you come out?" Xia Qiaoru was standing at the door and quickly helped her in. "Sister Moxiang has something to do, so she left first."
Chu Liuzheng responded softly, sat down on the bed, and asked, "I heard Eunuch Zhou shouting, what happened to your Majesty just now?"
"Your Majesty didn't step firmly and fell, but it's nothing serious." Xia Qiaoru saw that her eyes and nose were red and asked in surprise, "Have you cried?"
"No." Chu Liuzheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. "An eyelash fell into my eye, and it turned red as I rubbed it."
