Chapter 478
He wrapped his arms tightly around her from behind, pulling Wen Xin into his embrace.
His heavy, hot breath sprayed onto her neck, causing her body to tremble reflexively.
Wen Xin did not struggle, nor did she turn to look at him. She pursed her lips and calmly asked him, "Regent, you have overstepped your bounds."
"Your Majesty, please don't speak to me like that... I beg you."
His voice was hoarse, full of sadness and pain, as lonely as a dog abandoned by its owner.
Wen Xin's eyes flickered. "Then what do you want to do, Fu Chuxue?"
He was the one who pushed her away, and he was also the one who wouldn't let her go.
"I am not your toy, Fu Chuxue. Let me go. Let's not make things too ugly."
"No, Your Majesty is not a toy, no."
He pleaded with her, almost suffocating, "Your Majesty, please don't send me away."
Wen Xin closed her eyes briefly. "Did I drive you away, or did you want to leave me yourself?"
He shook his head bitterly, "Your Majesty, I do not wish to leave, but I have no choice."
He was a man without a name, and even the name "Fu Chuxue" did not belong to him. What right did he have to respond to her?
But now, he doesn't care about any of the deep-seated hatred, past grudges, differences in status, or ethical impropriety.
He cannot, and cannot live without, her!
Even if he could only be by her side as a woman, assisting her and accompanying her, even if his relationship was destined to have no good outcome, he would accept it.
As long as she still needs him, as long as he holds a place in her heart, he will stay.
It's fine to treat her as just a sharp sword.
Wen Xin turned around to face him, her bright, fiery eyes fixed on him.
"You are the Regent of Fengyuan, invincible and awe-inspiring throughout the world. I am the Empress of Fengyuan, the ruler of the land, reigning supreme. We have already reached the pinnacle of power. Only others cannot do anything to us. Who can control us? Your Highness, what are your difficulties? What do you want to do? I will always support you!"
As long as he doesn't run away and trusts her as much as she trusts him, she's willing to give him everything.
Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, who can do anything to the two of them?
The one who has been trapping him has always been himself!
"His Majesty……"
The Regent raised his hand, gently stroking her small face with restraint and tenderness, his eyes brimming with surging emotions. "One day, when you discover my origins, you may hate me."
No matter what, he couldn't change his background.
Even if he was unwilling, his life and the blood he had spilled were destined to be irreconcilable with her.
Why must he be a descendant of the previous dynasty?
He loathed this identity!
He doesn't even have the right to love her legitimately.
“No,” Wen Xin said firmly, holding his hand tightly. “As long as you don’t betray me, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. Even if your parents killed my parents, I won’t blame you or hold a grudge against you, and I certainly won’t drive you away.”
Although it is unfilial to say this, his unwavering devotion through two lifetimes, his raising of her, his protection of her, his willingness to sacrifice everything for her, even his life, without any regrets... he deserves it!
"Your Highness, all I've ever wanted is you, nothing else."
The regent's pupils contracted sharply, something inside him completely collapsed, and his love for her spread like molten lava throughout his body.
He suddenly hugged her tightly, desperately embracing his only warmth and light in his arms, wishing he could become one with her flesh and blood.
"His Majesty……"
Wen Xin felt a little pain from his hug, but she didn't struggle. She just reached out and gently patted his back. "Your Highness, do you know? All along, you've been the only one by my side. If you leave, I will truly be all alone."
He was the only one in the world who treated her with all his heart.
"And what about me?"
"So, we only have each other. Don't worry or feel uneasy. Whatever you want, I'm willing to give you. Trust me, okay?"
The Regent's throat tightened, and he gripped the Regent's arm even tighter. "Very well, Your Majesty, I trust you."
"Your Highness!"
Wen Xin patted his shoulder, "You're going to strangle me to death."
The regent quickly released her. "Is Your Majesty alright?"
The young empress poked his chest, her voice soft and sweet, "People outside are saying you're a treacherous minister plotting a rebellion. If you really strangle me here, you'll never be able to clear your name, even if you jump into the Yellow River."
The Regent chuckled and took her small hand in his. "Your Majesty, have you never doubted that I truly intend to rebel?"
Wen Xin tilted her head to look at him and said honestly, "There used to be, Your Highness knows that, right? But there really isn't anymore. However, if you're really interested in rebellion, I might be willing to cooperate with you and lend you the throne."
Regent: "..."
What do you mean by saying she could lend him the throne?
Is the throne something that can be borrowed?
Wen Xin innocently asked, "Why not?"
However, "Your Highness, why don't we go inside first?"
When breaking up, being caught in a downpour can really enhance the atmosphere, but if you're just chatting idly in the rain, you'll just look like two idiots.
Most importantly, Wen Xin was shivering with her arms crossed, saying, "I'm freezing!"
For the sake of sweet romance, for the sake of my future royal consort, I endured the torrential rain. Was it easy for me?
Seeing the young empress so disheveled from the rain, the regent quickly picked her up and strode towards his palace, ordering the palace servants to prepare hot water and ginger soup.
...
In the sleeping quarters of Fenggan Palace, the Regent ordered the palace servants to light the floor heating and draped his own coat over the young Empress.
"Your Majesty, I am wet."
Seeing the girl snuggle into his arms and hug him tightly, the Regent spoke helplessly.
Wen Xin blinked. "As if I'm completely dry."
"Your Highness, we're both soaked to the bone, so let's not complain about each other."
"It is not that I dislike Your Majesty."
"I don't care, I just want to hold you."
The Regent's eyes were full of tenderness; he was completely helpless against this spoiled little emperor.
He no longer wanted to refuse her advances.
He actually cherished and desperately longed for every touch she gave him.
This is his Majesty, his... God!
The palace maid reported that the hot water was ready, and the regent reached out and picked her up again, carrying her into the bathroom.
"Your Majesty, please take a hot bath first."
Wen Xin looked at the large bathtub in front of her, her eyes sparkling, and placed her small hand on his collar, teasing him seemingly casually.
"Your Highness, you're soaked in the rain too. Why don't you take a bath with me? Be careful not to catch a cold."
The Regent... The Regent's body stiffened abruptly, and his phoenix eyes darkened.
But when His Highness looked down at the petite girl in front of him, he felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
His thin lips twitched slightly as he grasped her small, soft hand, preventing the little girl from teasing him, and said sternly, "As a subject, how can you bathe with His Majesty? It's against the rules..."
