"Your Majesty, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
Xuan Qianning leaned gently against Leng Ye's chest. Although she couldn't remember anything after the lights were turned off last night, it didn't affect her joy at all.
The smile on her face faded only when she caught a glimpse of the dark red mark on her arm.
She subconsciously rubbed the dark red mark on her arm, but found that she couldn't rub it off no matter how much she rubbed.
After a moment of hesitation, she finally mustered her courage and looked up at Leng Ye, asking, "Your Majesty, did nothing happen between us last night?"
Leng Ye remained noncommittal, casually retorting, "Weren't you in so much pain that you couldn't walk? I don't remember what happened after the sleeping potion took effect last night. However, in my opinion, given how much pain you're in, we must have consummated our marriage last night."
"..."
Xuan Qianning remained silent.
In fact, she was already certain that Leng Ye had not touched her.
Otherwise, her body would definitely have felt something at all.
Realizing this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Beyond the disappointment, there was even more embarrassment.
If she had known this would be the outcome, she shouldn't have said she wasn't feeling well.
Now, in order to cover up the lie, she has no choice but to stubbornly continue making excuses.
Xuan Qianning, burdened with her thoughts, withdrew from Leng Ye's embrace, only to inadvertently catch a glimpse of dark red bloodstains on the bed.
Since nothing happened between them.
How should we explain the bloodstains on the bed?
Just as she was about to muster the courage to ask for clarification, she noticed a bloody gash hidden beneath a few strands of hair that fell across Leng Ye's forehead.
"Your Excellency, how did you get injured?"
"Perhaps it was hit by the incense burner."
Leng Ye recalled Xuan Fengqian's furious outburst the previous night, and only now did she realize that the wound on her forehead was throbbing faintly.
"incense burner?"
Xuan Qianning looked around but found no trace of the incense burner, assuming that Leng Ye had smashed it to dust in a fit of anger.
Then, staring blankly at the wound on Leng Ye's forehead, she suddenly realized why there was blood on the bed.
In that instant, she suddenly felt like a huge joke.
She was his lawfully wedded wife, yet she tried everything she could to force him to consummate the marriage, but all her efforts ended in failure.
She couldn't figure out where the problem lay.
After much deliberation, they finally pointed the finger at Xuan Fengqian.
Perhaps only when Xuan Fengqian, that vixen, completely disappears from Leng Ye's sight will Leng Ye have a chance to change his mind.
"Your Majesty, I will go to the side room to get the medicine."
Xuan Qian suppressed the hatred in his eyes, and as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Wuya, who was rushing over breathlessly.
"Ugh! You bad woman!"
Wuya puffed out his cheeks and made a face, avoiding Xuan Qianning as if she were a snake or a scorpion, before suddenly leaping into Leng Ye's arms.
It curled its wings into a fist and lightly pounded Leng Ye's chest, accusing him with tears and snot streaming down its face, "Your Majesty, did you touch her? Don't you know she's a bad woman?"
"How did Ning'er become a bad woman?"
Leng Ye knew that Xuan Qianning had many minor flaws and loved to act.
However, she is probably not a bad person at heart.
When his life was hanging by a thread, if it weren't for her protecting him with her own life, he would probably have already passed away.
Wuya said aggressively, "She stole the Venerable One! She's wicked, utterly wicked."
Hearing Wuya say this, Leng Ye became even more puzzled, "If you hate Ning'er so much, why do you always like to hang out with Xuan Fengqian?"
"Gah! These are clearly two different things."
Wuya was unusually clear-headed for once, and said logically, "Aqian doesn't like you, so what do I have to worry about? Besides, she gave me a lot of skin-whitening cream, so of course I like her."
Leng Ye felt a tightness in his chest, and was so angry that he almost crushed the fluffy bird's head.
"Your Majesty, please don't ruin my hairstyle. I heard that A-Qian is going on a blind date, and I'm rushing to check her out." Wu-Yai hurriedly covered a tuft of braided hair on his head and mumbled.
"What did you say? A blind date?"
Wuya nodded and said truthfully, "This morning, Jingzhe took me to Qingfeng Palace to find you, and we happened to overhear the fairy maidens' conversation. They said that the White Emperor has selected over a hundred men for Aqian. Aqian will choose one of them as her ideal husband within the next three months."
Leng Ye suddenly felt a pang of regret. If he had known that Bai Di had arranged hundreds of blind dates for Xuan Fengqian behind his back, he should have taken advantage of Xuan Fengqian last night.
Damn it! He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted!
A woman like Xuan Fengqian, who is always attracting attention, should be kept on a tighter leash!
Abuse her mercilessly!
Where is she?
Leng Ye suddenly turned around and stared at Wuya with the look of someone looking at a dead man.
"Qing, Qingfeng Palace."
Wuya shrank its slender neck, hiding its small bird head under its wings, and cautiously peered at Leng Ye's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Fine, very well." Leng Ye narrowed his long, narrow eyes and said through gritted teeth.
The next moment, he abruptly abandoned the still-shaken Wuya and rushed anxiously towards Qingfeng Palace.
Coincidentally, on his way there, he ran into the man who was about to go on a blind date with Xuan Fengqian.
The man was fair-skinned and handsome, with a refined and scholarly appearance.
But in Leng Ye's eyes, he became a typical scoundrel.
"May I ask, sir, how do I get to Qingfeng Palace?"
The man smiled warmly at Leng Ye and asked politely and courteously.
Leng Ye snorted disdainfully, raised his hand, and knocked the person unconscious with a "bang."
With that kind of qualifications, she dares to compete with him for a woman?
Leng Ye kicked him angrily, but in the blink of an eye, he transformed into his appearance, took his place, and entered Qingfeng Palace.
