As night deepened, a north wind swept in.
Chu Changning lay humiliated on the desk, her body sprawled out.
As the end of August approached, snow was looming in the north. A cold wind howled, blowing in through the half-open vermilion window. The pale, almost transparent body was covered in goosebumps, feeling cold and chilly.
She stretched out her slender, pale fingers, grasped his collar, and whispered.
"cold."
Yan Beimo glanced at her and put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand.
He lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist.
Chu Changning was caught off guard when he pulled him, and Feng Ying's arm hooked around his neck.
"Is Your Excellency going to the capital?"
Yan Beimo stroked the soft flesh of her waist and abdomen, chuckling softly.
"You don't want to go?"
"Can I stay in Libei?"
She spoke softly and gently.
Why?
His dark eyes stared intently at her, a deep sense of inquiry hidden in them.
Chu Changning bit her lip, "I'm afraid of His Majesty—"
"You're afraid he'll kill you."
His tone rose as he leaned closer, a smirk playing on his lips.
"So you're still trying to run away while I'm not around?"
"---"
You think you're so smart, you think you can just make things up?
Chu Changning cursed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm and composed.
She nuzzled against his neck and whispered.
"I didn't think that way."
Yan Beimo took the opportunity to put his arm around her waist and pulled her behind the screen.
"So you're trying to seduce Helian Ye to kill me?"
Having said that, he suddenly...
It was buried there.
Chu Changning trembled, her hand gripping the screen tightening and shaking.
A soft, seductive moan escaped her lips.
Yan Beimo grabbed her neck and lifted her up.
Chu Changning was forced to look up at him.
The scorching breath brushed against her earlobes, and a dense shiver ran through her limbs.
"Behave yourself, or I'll really kill you."
As the moonlight outside the window gradually faded, the ambiguous and alluring atmosphere inside the room grew even stronger.
The woman's soft moans rose and fell.
After some time, he finally finished his antics.
Only then was Chu Changning able to drag his disheveled body down to the bath.
The bronze lamp with its withered branches illuminated the entire imperial pond.
She stared intently at the strange flower at her waist, slightly taken aback.
Seeing her lost in thought, Yan Beimo threw a handkerchief at her, which instantly snapped her back to reality.
Neuropathy.
Chu Changning removed the handkerchief from her face, slightly annoyed, and ignored him.
Aren't you curious about what this is?
He lazily draped a black robe over himself, half-squatting by the pool, and poked her lower back with his golden penis.
This "golden hook" is a type of hook made of gold leaf, used to retrieve things while bathing. It's very hard, and poked her until her skin turned red.
Chu Changning hissed in pain, and his anger grew even stronger.
With a calm expression, she deliberately stretched out her wet, jade-like arm and hooked it around his neck, asking curiously.
What is it?
Yan Beimo had just changed his robes, and with her doing this, watermarks seeped into his clothes and slid down his well-defined chest.
He didn't pay any attention, chuckled as he looked at the beauty underwater, and replied.
"Demon Lotus".
Have you no shame?
Does this mean she's shameless, and that drawing on her body is a constant reminder to her to have some self-respect?
"The Northern Demon Lotus grows in the desolate land, and its juice is extremely poisonous."
"---"
Chu Changning's face darkened; this was an insult, accusing her of being vicious.
Yan Beimo smiled faintly as he observed the change in her expression.
"You are a perfect match for me."
Only you are worthy of me, and your whole family is worthy of me.
Chu Changning picked up the handkerchief in dissatisfaction and rubbed and rubbed it, scrubbing desperately, but she couldn't get the stain off no matter what she did.
"Why can't it be cleaned?"
Yan Beimo patted his robe and stood up.
"A juice made from burnt honey can remove the ailment in seven days."
Chu Changning felt a nameless anger seep from his bones as he was being played like this.
She held back her anger, though her eyes were slightly red.
Yan Beimo glanced sideways at her, who was covered in bruises in the water. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he suddenly felt his mouth dry and his lower body aroused again.
He walked to the edge of the pool, lifted her up, and pressed her against the golden pillar behind him.
Chu Changning knew he was a man of strong desires, but she couldn't withstand the constant torment and was panting heavily from exhaustion.
After it was over, she quickly washed up and lay down on the soft couch at the back to sleep.
There was only one bed in the warm pavilion behind the council hall. The bed was small, and the two of them rolled together. Before long, the room was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
Chu Changning was exhausted and slept until the afternoon the next day.
She lifted the covers, glanced at her bruised body, and cursed Yan Beimo a thousand times over.
Suddenly, the sound of a teacup hitting the ground came from the outer hall.
Chu Changning paused.
Silence reigned on all sides.
Her face flushed, and she quickly put on her clothes and went outside.
She thought that only Yan Beimo was handling military affairs outside, and that someone had overheard her cursing him behind her back, so she wanted to back down.
But to her surprise, as soon as she pushed open the palace door, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to look at her.
The palace was flanked by generals from Chaoge, all looking at her with disbelief.
Her steps froze, her delicate white face flushed red, and her whole body felt as if it were on fire.
Yan Beimo, sitting in the main seat, had a slightly dark expression. Seeing that she was barefoot, he stood up and pushed her into the warm pavilion.
With a bang, the palace doors were slammed shut.
The crowd outside snapped out of their daze, exchanging glances with curious expressions.
Good heavens, is what the lady is saying true?
My lord is so fierce, he's been up all night.
Heaven knows, Chu Changning was just angry and exaggerated his insults.
The crowd murmured and laughed, some even praising her beauty.
Normally, one wouldn't notice, but today the lady wore no makeup, her long, black hair cascading down her back. After a night of nourishment, her delicate, fair face was breathtakingly beautiful.
No wonder our lord has become so fond of it.
Although the voices outside the hall were low, Yan Beimo, with his superior internal strength, heard every single word.
He glanced at the person in front of him with their face down, slowly approached, leaned down, and spoke in a low voice.
"Seventeen times a night?"
Chu Changning felt slightly embarrassed, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
"Am I a beast? Am I promiscuous?"
"---"
"May my son be born without an anus--"
"My lord," Chu Changning stood on tiptoe, covered his mouth, and said with an embarrassed laugh, "I was just talking nonsense."
Yan Beimo's eyes were indifferent as he approached step by step.
Chu Changning was forced to press her lower back against the table by him. She saw the indifference in his eyes, so she quickly leaned over and hugged his neck, kissing him in a coaxing manner.
He turned his head away, avoiding the view.
Chu Changning knew he was petty and held grudges.
She inwardly grimaced, then grabbed the black bead on his lapel, trying to ingratiate herself.
Yan Beimo remained unmoved on the surface, appearing calm but secretly plotting to torment her.
Chu Changning awkwardly got off him, but as soon as she moved, he suddenly grabbed her waist.
"Is this how you apologize?"
"---"
Chu Changning immediately realized what was happening and tried to please him by massaging his back and shoulders and serving him tea.
His expression remained unchanged, yet he enjoyed himself like a lord.
After a while.
"Stay here and reflect on your mistakes."
After saying that, he threw her onto the soft couch and left.
Chu Changning didn't want to go out and embarrass himself anymore, so he stayed in the warm pavilion and became invisible.
