"Good boy, there's plenty of time in the future."
Leng Ye tucked the blanket around Xuan Qianning, then casually pulled off the plain white undergarment from the carved screen and slowly put it on.
Seeing this, Xuan Qianning felt even more uncomfortable.
She pondered for a while, and finally mustered up her courage to hand the neatly folded handkerchief from under her pillow to Leng Ye. "Your Majesty, the head maid has come to ask for the handkerchief several times. If I don't hand it over soon, I will surely be ridiculed."
Leng Ye squinted, staring blankly at the clean handkerchief in front of him, and suddenly remembered the blood-stained handkerchief he had left in the Soul Devouring Hall.
Xuan Qianning clearly likes him so much, but she still occasionally shows a hint of fear in front of him.
But he cruelly pushed the equally inexperienced Xuan Fengqian into a group of strange and terrifying men.
She must have been terrified back then, right?
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Xuan Qianning looked at Leng Ye, who was frequently lost in thought, with hopeful eyes.
At this moment, she no longer cared about maintaining her usual proud and aloof image.
For some reason, she always felt that if she couldn't quickly defeat Leng Ye, she might not even be able to keep her position as the Nine Nether Demon Queen.
Only when she has successfully conceived his child can she finally feel at ease.
"sleep."
Leng Ye extinguished the candle, then lay down beside Xuan Qianning and closed his eyes to rest.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Xuan Qianning was surprised that Leng Ye remained unmoved despite her initiative.
She turned her head and gazed deeply at him, who was sharing her bed, feeling a chill run through her heart.
His indifference was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head in the dead of winter, leaving her feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave, unable to express her suffering.
"You don't need to worry about the handkerchief. Just dip it in some red ink later."
"knew."
Xuan Qianning silently turned over.
The moment she turned her back, tears streamed down her face.
Before marrying Leng Ye, he made it clear to her that he only felt gratitude towards her and had little romantic love for her.
Their union was largely driven by self-interest.
Firstly, the great calamity of Leng Ye is approaching, and he urgently needs to follow the will of Heaven and unite with Ni Huang in order to weaken the power of the Nine Heavens Tribulation.
Furthermore, although she was the eldest daughter of the White Emperor, she had been suppressed by Xuan Fengqian for thousands of years due to her status as an illegitimate child. She desperately needed the identity of the Nine Nether Demon Queen to reverse her fate.
Xuan Qianning once naively believed that as long as she married into Jiuyou, Leng Ye would inevitably fall in love with her.
I never expected Leng Ye's attitude to be so cold.
Bang--
Bang bang bang—
Before long, a series of thunderous roars suddenly came from outside the window.
Leng Ye glanced sideways at the flickering lamplight through the window and asked in a cold voice, "What's that sound?"
The demoness guarding outside the house replied in a trembling voice, "Replying to the Demon Lord, it seems that it is the newly arrived laundry maid who is washing clothes in the side courtyard."
"That thing needs to be disciplined!"
Leng Ye cursed under his breath, then suddenly stood up and made a move to walk towards the side courtyard.
Where was Xuanfeng Qian doing laundry?
She was clearly taking her anger out on his clothes!
"Your Excellency..."
Xuan Qianning didn't bother to wipe away the mottled tears on her face, but instead firmly grasped Leng Ye's hand, "Don't go."
Leng Ye stared in astonishment at Xuan Qianning, who was weeping uncontrollably, and said slowly, "Ning'er, I'm sorry."
"Your Majesty, have you fallen in love with Qianqian?"
"impossible."
Leng Ye shook his head firmly, "I could never like her in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Qianning suddenly felt a surge of joy.
While she was overjoyed, a few doubts arose in her heart.
She could clearly sense Leng Ye's concern for Xuan Fengqian, but why did he always stubbornly refuse to admit it?
Could it be that he and Xuan Fengqian have a past they didn't know about?
