"There's nothing in this world that can defeat you, right?"
"The regent has only temporarily gained power, and our misfortunes are only temporary as well."
Xiao Rourou's voice is gentle and moving, making people feel comfortable.
Her words did not elicit a response from Di Yanhen.
Di Yanhen's eyes only grew fiercer.
Xiao Rourou was quite frightened by his gaze and shrank back.
Until, Di Yanhen grabbed her arm.
"Rou Rou!"
"Ouch...you're hurting me."
Di Yanhen pursed his lips, "Rou Rou, I'm so sorry, it's my fault, but this time... only you can help me, you must help me!"
Xiao Rourou looked at him with a confused expression.
Seeing the man's pained expression, she also felt a pang of heartache.
She loves her man so much.
He had clearly done nothing wrong, yet he was still imprisoned in this imperial mausoleum to guard the late emperor's tomb for seven days.
She clenched her fist. "Tell me, I'll do anything you ask!"
"I'll do anything to help you get the throne."
"Rou Rou, you are truly my good wife." Upon hearing this, Di Yanhen's heart stirred slightly, and he stood up and pulled her into his arms.
Xiao Rourou leaned against him with a look of relief on her face.
But they failed to see the sinister glint in the man's eyes.
...
The Regent's Palace.
Xiao Tang prepared a cup of calming and sleep-inducing water for Di Jingling.
She believed there was nothing wrong with her prescription.
Di Jingling sniffed the water; it had a refreshing coolness.
"My husband, after you drink this, I guarantee you'll sleep soundly until dawn."
Hehe, this is a sleeping potion! After you drink it, you'll definitely be full of energy tomorrow.
Say goodbye to depression and insomnia.
Di Jingling suddenly looked up.
in vain?
That word again.
But at this moment, he understood the meaning of the word from the context of her words.
He gave a soft "hmm" and suddenly brought it to her lips. "Your Highness must not have had a good rest these past few days. You should drink first."
[Tsk, you suspect I poisoned you? You want me to test the poison on you?]
[She has so many bad habits; I've spoiled her rotten!]
Let's see if I'll still put up with you next time!
He cursed inwardly, but a smile still crept onto his lips as he drank more than half of the holy water in the cup.
After drinking half of it, a cool sensation seemed to instantly spread throughout my body.
With half a cup left, she calmly said, "Husband, it seems you don't share a cup with others. Shall I make another one?"
"No need."
He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
He didn't want Xiao Tang to test the poison on him; he just wanted... Xiao Tang to drink the medicine with him and rest together.
During the past few days while dealing with the aftermath in the palace, he couldn't stop thinking about her.
This agonizing feeling left him utterly bewildered.
The restlessness and unease he felt when he couldn't see Xiao Tang were probably very much in line with the word "depression".
Xiao Tang had no idea what he was thinking. She put down her cup, clapped her hands, and said, "My lord, let me help you undress. Shall we retire for the night?"
As she spoke, her little hands had already reached out without hesitation to untie his belt.
The desolate night, accompanied by the sound of rain pattering against the window, created an ambiguous atmosphere that was hard to define.
What should have been a cool night turned into a night where the temperature inside the house kept rising.
Xiao Tang was completely unaware of the danger.
Until she accidentally touched the man's slightly burning skin?
【What...what's going on?】
That's sleeping pills! Why does he look like he has malicious intentions towards me?
【Pshaw, I must have made a mistake.】
She couldn't possibly have made a mistake with the prescription.
This is a matter of principle for the Xuan Doctor; if word gets out, it will ruin her reputation as a Xuan Doctor.
Her arm was suddenly pulled, and she was pulled into his arms.
Caught off guard, her head slammed directly into his firm embrace, making her see stars.
"When does the Princess intend to have a child with me?"
【！！！】
Something's wrong!!!
【What kind of child are you? I've always treated you like my eldest son. You unfilial son, so disobedient! ╭(╯^╰)╮】
She noticed that the large hand gripping her waist was getting heavier and heavier.
The force was so strong it almost snapped her waist.
[Ouch, stop pinching my waist!]
"How old are you this year?" The man's low, cold voice slammed down from above, so deep that Xiao Tang could even hear a hint of gritted teeth in it.
Xiao Tang almost blurted out "twenty-eight"...
Then I realized something was wrong; the original owner was sixteen years old.
The main villain is almost 25 years old this year (by Chinese reckoning).
Wow, you wouldn't know unless you compared them! Turns out you're an old cow eating young grass!
"Hey, try pinching my waist again!"
"Yes...yes, my husband, I am sixteen years old this year."
"Hmm..." He frowned. "Too small."
It turns out his princess is only sixteen.
Every time this thought crossed his mind, he had the illusion that the woman was several years older than him.
Considering the princess's young age, he will wait and see.
The hand that had been gripping her waist gradually relaxed.
He gave a soft "hmm": "It's alright, I'll wait for you to grow up."
Xiao Tang: (⊙_⊙)?
I have a feeling this guy is using a double entendre.
Forget it, she's not even old enough to grow up anymore, she's going to run away.
But for now, considering that the main villain is still depressed, she'll suppress this immature idea.
It was the sixth watch of the night.
Emperor Jingling rushed to the palace.
