"It's windy outside, let's come inside and talk. What's wrong with you today, Xi'er? Did some ignorant servant upset you?"
Sheng Changling took the woman's soft little hand in his hand, ignoring everyone else, and placed it against his chest to warm her hands.
It can be said that Sheng Changling never put on any imperial airs here, and always treated Liu Lingxi with utmost care.
Liu Lingxi is compliant to gentle persuasion but not to force, and with so many servants present, she wasn't the kind of domineering person who would want to embarrass him in front of the servants.
"Alright, I'll have to tell you all about it later."
"Um."
Sheng Changling nodded, his heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally began to settle down, but he still felt very insecure, and he gripped the woman's hand even tighter.
Once inside the hall, the two dismissed the servants, and Liu Lingxi forcefully shook off Sheng Changling's hand.
really.
Sheng Changling raised an eyebrow, leisurely crossed his arms, and wondered what this little beauty was up to.
"I want to get out!"
Having spent a lot of time with Sheng Yu, Liu Lingxi has learned a few tricks from the little guy. The first trick is to strike first and argue even when you're wrong.
"Isn't this place good enough? These are turbulent times, and Xi'er is safest here."
Sheng Changling also had his own selfish reasons. His Xi'er was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he could be with her all the time. How wonderful!
What will happen to him if we release him?
If someone with ill intentions were to take advantage of the situation, wouldn't my Xi'er be in even greater danger?
This palace isn't very safe, otherwise how did Sheng Jin manage to escape?
No, no, we have to get rid of this idea of hers as soon as possible.
"And Yu'er, he needs someone to look after him right now. What would happen to Yu'er if something happened to you? What would I do then..."
The key point is what Sheng Changling said next; he was also taking the opportunity to express his feelings.
However, seeing the woman's calm and unwavering eyes beneath the water, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Xi'er...
She seemed to have lost all interest.
"Xi'er, you—"
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Liu Lingxi wanted to act coquettishly again, but the man grabbed her hands and pressed them against the table. His burning body immediately scorched her.
She looked into Sheng Changling's lustful eyes, which seemed to burn with a raging fire, so hot that she dared not look at them for long.
Oh no.
Sheng Changling didn't expect that after entering the inner room and smelling Xi'er's body fragrance, it seemed that the effects of the medicine had been activated, and he began to feel hot all over.
He was already powerless against Xi'er, and now he was even more easily ignited, feeling the fire burning brighter and brighter.
"Xi'er, it's really dangerous outside. I've been tricked."
"Ah, who plotted against you? How could this be!"
Liu Lingxi's eyes widened in shock. She immediately tensed up; Sheng Changling couldn't afford to get into trouble right now!
She grasped the man's large hand, feeling his burning body temperature—abnormally high, and still rising. This…
"Who has plotted against you? Guards—"
Liu Lingxi's first reaction was to call for help. She needed to quickly find the imperial physician so that he could make a diagnosis and prescribe medicine for Sheng Changling.
But before she could say anything, her mouth was suddenly sealed shut by Sheng Changling.
The two became entangled, going back and forth, and soon they were both covered in sweat.
Liu Lingxi was moved by the kiss, and her face changed color, with a faint blush rising to her cheeks, more beautiful than the most vibrant rouge.
In fact, since their wedding, the couple has only been intimate a handful of times, mainly because whenever they wanted to be intimate, some clueless person would come and interrupt.
In reality, he was usually summoned by the Cining Palace for matters, and he had no choice but to go.
When he returned, Xi'er was already asleep.
He couldn't indulge in debauchery during the day, otherwise his mother would have something to say to him.
However, this was something he did intentionally.
The imperial physician said that Xi'er's health was not fully recovered and that she should rest for a while longer, and that sexual activity should not be too frequent.
News came today that it's almost over, and with Consort Rong's little trick, Sheng Changling won't let Xi'er off the hook like he usually does.
Thinking this, his gaze toward Liu Lingxi became fiery and increasingly intense, and his body temperature continued to rise, creating an ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Liu Lingxi was too ashamed to look anymore, but how could Sheng Changling give her the chance to escape? Tonight would be an incredibly passionate night.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock—"
"roll!"
This time, Sheng Changling wouldn't give in to the other party's wishes. He knew the Empress Dowager didn't want him to sleep with Xi'er, and didn't want Xi'er to give birth to a prince, but—
He's the one who calls the shots!
At Sheng Changling's command, two dark figures descended from the eaves and easily carried away the eunuch who had been knocking on the door, restoring peace to the room once more.
"That was the Empress Dowager just now... Shouldn't Your Majesty go and see her?"
It took Liu Lingxi a while to come to her senses. Recalling her previous experiences, she easily guessed who had sent the person. She looked up and asked.
Looking at the small face beneath him, with its captivating eyes, rosy lips, and pert nose, Sheng Changling couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Never mind what's outside, Xi'er...you should look at me."
The room then grew increasingly heated, filled with melodious sounds: a woman's soft sobs, a man's forceful roars, and the clattering of tables and chairs.
