Chapter 64
"My lord, where are we going? I should be returning to the Marquis of Xuanwu's residence."
Wen Xin originally thought he was going to use his superhuman abilities to send her back to the Xuanwu Marquis's residence.
As soon as he left Qixia Pavilion, this person actually crammed himself into a seemingly unassuming but actually luxurious carriage and headed straight out of the city.
Wen Xin clutched her skirt in panic, her eyes misty with tears.
Emperor Chengyuan reached out and pulled the little girl into his arms, stroking her face. "What are you afraid of? Would I sell you?"
Wen Xin was still not used to being held in his arms, but when she met his deep gaze and thought of the terrifying Grand Eunuch, she dared not resist.
The young girl tried her best to reason with the head eunuch who acted as he pleased, "My lord, I am the wife of the heir apparent of the Marquis of Xuanwu."
Emperor Chengyuan squeezed her slender, jade-like fingers, and without the slightest psychological pressure, he shamelessly took advantage of the young girl's tenderness, acting like a beast.
However, I am very unhappy with her constant emphasis on the fact that she is already a wife.
The man lazily lifted his eyes. "So?"
Should we tell him to go and kill Shangguan Hao right now?
Wen Xin paused for a moment, then said weakly, "It's getting late, I should go back to the Xuanwu Marquis's residence."
For someone as rule-abiding as her, going to Qixia Pavilion for dinner with him in the middle of the night was already unconventional enough; how could she possibly stay out all night?
In the eyes of the world, this is considered unchaste and would result in being drowned in a pig cage.
Soft buns are scary~
Emperor Cheng Yuan narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly. "Do you think I'm just a tool to be used and then discarded?"
Wen Xin was stunned, and shook her head hesitantly, "I didn't."
It seems like he's the one being unreasonable, isn't it?
The bandit emperor calmly ruffled the little girl's hair. "Then stay put."
Don't run away, or he'll chain her up!
Wen Xin frowned and said stubbornly, "I have to go back."
His Majesty was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This stubborn, soft-hearted brat.
"Go back for what? To keep kneeling in the ancestral hall? Are you stupid?"
The girl trembled in his arms, her eyes red, looking delicate and pitiful.
Emperor Chengyuan: "...I didn't scold you."
Can't I even say a few words?
Could this little dumpling be any more delicate?
Wen Xin sobbed, "What if they find out if I don't go back?"
It turns out she didn't want to go back to find Shangguan Hao.
Emperor Chengyuan's mood improved a bit, and he poked her cheek, "If I dared to bring you out, I wouldn't let anyone else know you weren't here."
Wen Xin was skeptical. "If we don't find it tonight, we definitely will tomorrow."
Emperor Chengyuan: "Don't worry, they won't be able to detect it."
He chuckled and said in a perverted tone, "There are no longer any people who shouldn't be in the ancestral hall."
Wen Xin was stunned. What did she mean by "there are no people who shouldn't exist"?
Emperor Chengyuan's smile deepened, and he offered no further explanation.
What's the point of keeping those lackeys around if they dare to bully her at every turn?
Wen Xin was intimidated by his eccentric smile, but said, "Xiao Lian will bring me food tomorrow morning."
She thought of something, tugged at his sleeve, her eyes brimming with tears, "My lord, please don't hurt Xiaolian."
Seeing how much she cared about others, a glint flashed in Emperor Chengyuan's eyes.
He said calmly, "What's there to care about a little girl?"
You want more maids?
Wen Xin shook her head. "No, she is the only person in this world who is good to me, not a servant."
Emperor Chengyuan was displeased, "Is the master not good to you?"
“Okay, okay,” Wen Xin said softly, her eyes lowered, “It’s just different.”
Emperor Chengyuan lifted her chin. "What's different?"
"I……"
The girl's eyes shimmered with a clear light, filled with confusion and helplessness, like a little white rabbit pinned down by a big bad wolf, anxiously trying to struggle and escape, yet powerless against his domineering presence.
Emperor Cheng Yuan's eyes darkened slightly as he traced her delicate red lips with his fingertips. "Do you hate me?"
Wen Xin shook her head without hesitation, and then said, "You are a good person!"
Emperor Cheng Yuan glared at her, "Try saying I'm a good person again and see what happens?"
Wen Xin, who issued the "good guy card," was completely innocent.
His Majesty gritted his teeth, "That blockhead!"
He emphasized, "Remember you're mine, understand?"
Wen Xin: "!!!"
She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.
Emperor Chengyuan: "If you dare say anything unpleasant to me, I'll lock you up for life."
The timid girl was terrified and dared not disobey the great demon king.
The Demon King suddenly looked at her with a gentle smile, "Do you still think I'm a good person?"
Wen Xin nodded blankly.
Although this person is unpredictable, he is really good to her!
Emperor Chengyuan was both amused and annoyed. Oh well, she was being silly; it wasn't like he was only just realizing it now.
His Majesty generously forgave the soft little dumpling in his arms, and then, even more unceremoniously, began to fondle her until the little girl blushed and shed tears.
He's an absolute monster!
The eunuch Mo, who was driving the carriage, felt great sympathy: Poor Lady of the Heir Apparent!
Alas, it seems His Majesty is determined to take my wife.
Therefore, we should kill the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu as soon as possible, so that the heir's wife can become a widow and be with His Majesty legitimately.
That should at least shut those old fogies up, right?
There's nothing wrong with it!
Clearly, this Eunuch Mo is also a ruthless character!
It can only be said that like master, like subordinate.
...
"Miss!"
The carriage stopped at a beautiful manor.
As soon as Wen Xin was carried off the carriage by Emperor Cheng Yuan, she saw Xiao Lian waiting at the door with a lantern.
She was stunned, wondering why Xiao Lian was here.
Xiao Lian rushed over, her face full of concern and joy.
"Xiao Lian, is it really you? What are you doing here?"
Wen Xin took her hand and asked with concern.
Xiao Lian glanced at Mo Zhi cautiously, not daring to speak.
Wen Xin also turned her head to look, and a refined and handsome face came into view. The man was wearing a blue robe, and he had a scholarly air about him. He was gentle and cultured, like a learned scholar who had read a lot of poetry.
But how could a talented scholar possibly drive a carriage for a high-ranking eunuch?
Who is this?
"My surname is Mo."
Mo?
Wen Xin couldn't help but look at the incomparably handsome man beside her.
Emperor Chengyuan: "..."
Does she really believe he's Mo Zhi?
Zhen Mozhi wanted to clutch his chest and gasp for breath again: "Your subordinate really wouldn't dare!"
Also, Madam, please stop looking at me. His Majesty's gaze is too terrifying!
Emperor Chengyuan took the girl's hand and walked into the manor.
When Xiao Lian saw the extremely imposing man in purple openly holding her young mistress's hand, her face was full of surprise, doubt, and worry.
Even if the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu is not a good person, the young lady is already married.
What if people find out that she was being intimate with other men?
"No need to think too much, just serve your master well."
Mo Zhi spoke gently to Xiao Lian.
Xiao Lian was a little afraid of this man, but for her young mistress's sake, she suppressed her fear and asked, "Mr. Mo, who are you and that other gentleman? Why did you bring my young mistress here?"
Mo Zhi looked the little girl over and saw that although her face was pale, her eyes were firm and clear, indicating that she was a loyal servant.
He smiled gently and said, "You don't need to worry, my master will not harm the lady."
Xiao Lian was speechless, and couldn't help but think to herself: Even bad guys don't have the word "bad guy" written on their faces!
Mo Zhi seemed to know what she was thinking. "Do you think you could resist if my master really wanted to do something to you and your servants?"
Xiao Lian's face turned deathly pale.
Mo Zhi didn't really want to scare the little girl. He said meaningfully, "Don't overthink it. Just know that the lady is not the same as before. She will be very noble in the future. Just serve her well."
After saying that, Mo Zhi didn't say anything more and walked into the manor.
Xiao Lian stood there stunned for a long time, struggling to process Mo Zhi's words.
She thought of the man who had just led her young mistress by the hand; his air of nobility and awe-inspiring majesty told her that he was no ordinary person.
However, no matter who he is, it cannot change the fact that Miss is already married and is the wife of the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu!
The world is harsh on women; the mere mention of "chastity" is enough to drive countless women to their deaths.
I fear that the noble man is just indulging in a passing fancy and toying with the young lady's feelings.
Her little face was pursed, and she looked worried.
