Chapter 49 Burning with Jealousy
After Emperor Jingxuan finished speaking, he turned her face straight and looked at her without giving in.
Yun Wan couldn't believe he asked this question.
"Your Majesty, you are a gentleman, but this is not what a gentleman does!"
Yun Wan was both angry and anxious, hating how he could speak so arrogantly without any dignity or self-restraint. Her thin face turned red with anger, and she glared at him with her watery eyes.
But she still remembered that the man in front of her was the Emperor of Great Qi, who could decide people's lives with a wave of his hand, so she only dared to glare at him lightly, and the anger in her eyes had no deterrent effect.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan chuckled and said lazily in a mocking tone, "I have never thought of being a gentleman. I only know that if I want something, I will reach out and fight for it."
"Gentleman?" He sneered coldly, his eyes looking past her to the distant sky, "I am already the monarch of this world."
Still care about gentlemanly behavior?
For example, this position was fought for by him, otherwise he would have turned into a pile of dirt long ago.
"If I were a gentleman, how could I have met Madam?"
This seemed like a very touching statement, but Yun Wan said, "You are the Son of Heaven, and everything in the world is within your reach. But I am a widow, and my reputation is more important than anything else. If this gets out, how can I live my life?"
Yun Wan knew clearly that she could ignore the looks and words of others, and could sneer at the so-called restrictions on women's reputation, but the rumors and gossips of the world could kill her.
She could choose not to care, but why should she bear the consequences? If she were to be branded as an unfaithful woman, as someone who seduced the emperor, her Ah Sui would also face countless strange looks.
She can't stop people from talking.
Seeing the trembling in her eyes, Emperor Jingxuan said solemnly: "Who dares to speak nonsense when I am here?"
Yun Wan lowered her eyes and did not respond.
How can a man understand the suffering of being a woman?
Seeing that she obviously didn't believe it, Emperor Jingxuan closed his lips, and his heartstrings were suddenly moved.
He knew he wouldn't get the answer he wanted from her today, so he let go of her hand and asked, "Madam, have you ever thought about remarrying?"
Not knowing why he brought this up, Yun Wan said firmly, "No, I will never remarry."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned: "Why?"
Yun Wan remained silent.
Why?
Because she knew that neither the Lu family nor the Yun family would agree to her remarrying.
Yun Wan and Lu Fenglan's marriage was the result of the interests of the two families. After she remarried, the relationship between the two families became even weaker.
Besides, even if she remarried, Yun Wan would take Asui with her and it was impossible for her to leave him alone in the Lu family.
Just for this reason, the Lu family would never agree, and her new husband's family would not accept Asui either.
Rather than making things difficult for both sides, it is better to maintain the status quo.
As for entering the palace, Yun Wan had never thought about it.
She was certain that the emperor was only attracted by her beauty and wanted to have a brief affair with her, but who knew when he would forget about her.
Emperor Jingxuan saw her silence as a sign of unwillingness to speak. He suddenly recalled the rumors and his expression darkened.
"Lu San has been dead for many years. Could it be that Madam is still thinking about him? Is she going to remain faithful to him for the rest of her life?"
Yun Wan: "Why not? He is my husband, and I should remain faithful to him."
Emperor Jingxuan scolded: "Foolish!"
Yun Wan said calmly, "Your Majesty thinks this is foolish, but I am happy to accept it."
These words, which sounded like a declaration of true love, were particularly harsh to Emperor Jingxuan's ears. He didn't understand how such unpleasant words could be uttered by such a soft, sweet mouth.
Emperor Jingxuan's face turned completely gloomy, his eyes were grim, and he was filled with deep displeasure.
He sneered: "Madam, you look gentle and kind, but what you said was so harsh. I feel really uncomfortable listening to it."
I have severe heartburn.
But how could a person who had been dead for many years and had probably been reincarnated as a baby leave such a deep mark in her heart?
Just because they were once husband and wife?
Emperor Jingxuan felt as if there was a ball of fire in his chest, burning more and more fiercely, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes.
Yun Wan was caught off guard when she met his deep eyes and felt danger coming.
In her nervousness, she made a childish decision. She bent down and ran forward, trying to step onto the jade steps.
However, this speed seemed like a piece of cake to Emperor Jingxuan. He stretched out his long arm, brought Yun Wan into his arms, and kissed her like a rainstorm.
"I don't want to embarrass my wife, but I have to accept some benefits, right?" He held her lips, his voice hoarse and unclear.
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Yun Wan's waist and slid his thin lips down, leaving flower marks on her skin.
Yun Wan had never been treated so rudely. When her husband Lu Fenglan was alive, he was always gentle and slow with her because of his frail body.
They will not lick and bite everywhere like hyenas.
Yun Wan felt an indescribable feeling throughout her body, as if she was longing for something.
But he just kept his promise and only had a brief taste, leaving her in a state of confusion.
Yun Wan felt even more uncomfortable.
At this time, Emperor Jingxuan looked up and said with a muffled smile: "Madam, are you feeling comfortable?"
"No........"
"Your Majesty——"
"I don't like these two words, Madam, please change them."
“.........”
An evening breeze blew by, and the pomegranate tree behind me rustled. Pomegranate flowers fell and drifted into the hot spring with the wind, as if the whole pool was dotted with rubies.
Just then, a petal fell on Emperor Jingxuan's head, but the moment he lowered his head, the bright red pomegranate petals slid down and finally landed on Yun Wan's chest.
The interweaving of snow-white and bright red is as beautiful as a fairy, invisibly evoking the most primitive animal desires in people's hearts.
.........
As soon as she came out of the hot spring, Yun Wan picked up her clothes and put them on hastily. When she heard the laughter of the people behind her, she moved even faster.
She even forgot to put on her stockings and fled from the Moon Cave Gate.
"lady!"
When Yueya and Yue'e saw her, they cried with joy.
Yue'e: "Are you okay in there? Did they do anything to you?"
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you. That blue-clothed maid is truly despicable. Yueya and I wanted to come look for you, but she kept making excuses. When we realized something was wrong, she actually had someone lock us up!"
She gritted her teeth.
Yueya supported Yunwan and said worriedly, "Madam, the man in blue said that you were with a distinguished guest and that he wouldn't harm you. Who is that distinguished guest?"
Yun Wan felt weak all over at this moment, and could only say faintly, "I'm fine, let's talk when we get back."
The master and his servants planned to leave under the moonlight, but were stopped at the gate of the manor. The other party was still wearing blue clothes.
"Madam, I have ordered someone to prepare your room. Why don't you stay here——"
Yun Wan interrupted her with a cold face: "No need, we'll leave now."
Then Lan Yi called a carriage and said respectfully, "Then please get in the carriage. Master Qi will arrange for someone to take you down the mountain."
Yun Wan didn't say anything else and got into the car.
Lan Yi said to Yue'e and the other girl, "Young ladies, I was in a hurry and had to offend you. Please forgive me."
"snort!"
It was already late in the evening when they returned to the side room of Putuo Temple. The three of them ran into Aunt Zhong at the door.
The other party glanced at the others and looked at Yun Wan in surprise: "Where have you been so late?"
Yun Wan: "There's a hot spring resort on the top of the mountain. We went there to have some fun."
Aunt Zhong was puzzled: "Changning also went this morning, why did you come back alone?"
Yun Wan said coldly, "She was with the Lord of Chiayi and the others. I came back because it wasn't appropriate for me to stay."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Aunt Zhong and said impatiently, "Any more questions?"
Aunt Zhong snorted coldly, shook her handkerchief, and walked away with a twist of her waist.
Isn't it just a hot spring? Who hasn't been there?
Yun Wan stopped for a moment and let out a sigh.
