Xie Changling's story.
After another victorious return, on the way back to the capital, Xie Changling instructed his deputy to lead the army back slowly, while he himself rode at full speed and entered the palace before everyone else.
Phoenix Palace.
Song Lingxi was tormented all night. She didn't know why Xiao Jin was so crazy last night, pestering her endlessly, which is why she is sleeping soundly in broad daylight now.
Meanwhile, Xie Changling had already entered the palace with his palace token. At first, he was still visible, but he disappeared around a corner.
The guards were left looking at each other in bewilderment, some even rubbing their eyes, wondering if the Xie Changling they had just encountered was an imposter, or if there had been a ghost in broad daylight?
Xie Changling made his way through the palace, turning left and right, and entered Fengyi Palace. Before the palace servants could discover him, he put them to sleep by pressing their pressure points. He didn't care about the rest, nor was it his place to care.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, several dark figures flew down and carried the unconscious palace servant into the servants' quarters. From the outside, the entire Fengyi Palace appeared perfectly normal.
Song Lingxi was fast asleep when she suddenly felt a cool touch on her lips. The kiss slowly grew hotter and moved beyond her lips to her cheek and forehead...
Song Lingxi had a nightmare?! She dreamt of a large, enthusiastic dog licking her face, but somehow the dog's face had turned into Xie Changling's?
"ah--"
Song Lingxi blinked. Yes, she wasn't mistaken; it was indeed Xie Changling's handsome face!
She couldn't help but scream. Where did this guy come from? And why was he in her palace? Wasn't he afraid Xiao Jin would kill him?
"Shh, Xi'er, do you want others to hear us? We're sneaking around, don't let anyone find out!"
Xie Changling had a wicked smile on his face, a roguish look that was quite handsome. His slightly teasing tone was also a bit provocative, and it actually made Song Lingxi stop screaming.
"You, what are you doing here?!"
Song Lingxi wrapped herself tightly in her blanket and spoke softly, her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly, fluttering alluringly.
A hint of confusion flashed in her large, almond-shaped eyes, as if she were wondering how this guy got in. Wasn't there anyone else in Fengyi Palace?
Since Song Lingxi's thoughts were so easy to understand, Xie Changling patted her head and answered her question.
"I've acupunctured everyone outside, so don't worry, no one will tell anyone."
"But there are still secret guards. However, did you win the battle and return with a large army?"
Song Lingxi knew that Xiao Jin, who had experienced the palace coup, was extremely nervous about them. Not only were there guards around her, but the two little ones were also surrounded by secret guards, for fear of any accidents.
She genuinely doubted how Xie Changling had entered the palace; it was simply unbelievable!
"Xi'er is so smart. Let me think about what kind of reward I should give Xi'er."
Xie Changling hadn't seen Song Lingxi for so long, and he missed her day and night. Apart from leading his troops into battle, he spent all his time thinking about her.
Now that they've finally met, his hands and feet naturally started to "get restless." Before coming, he even found an inn to freshen up properly, and his body still had a trace of moisture on it.
"It's only early spring, aren't you cold wearing such thin clothes?"
Song Lingxi touched his sleeve; it was only a thin layer, without any cotton wadding, and his body was slightly cool, his large hands even colder.
"Xi'er feels sorry for her husband, so why not feel sorry for him here instead?"
Xie Changling grinned mischievously. He took Song Lingxi's small hand and touched his lower abdomen, which made Song Lingxi blush and her heart race. She glared at him fiercely!
"You're being indecent, hurry up and tell me!"
"Xiao Jin promised me he wouldn't interfere with us anymore. Tomorrow is the Flower Festival, shall I take you out for a stroll?"
Xie Changling was most afraid of Song Lingxi getting angry, so he quickly withdrew his restless hand, put on a well-behaved look, and showed the most fervent expectation in his eyes.
He smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth that appeared even whiter against his tanned skin, giving him a unique charm.
"The Flower Festival, um, is that alright?"
Perhaps it's because Song Lingxi isn't a rule-abiding person at heart; she yearns for the outside world all the time, but due to her status, she can only endure it.
The Flower Festival was a novelty for Song Lingxi, who spent most of her time in the palace, and she was quite eager to try it out.
"But Your Majesty..."
Song Lingxi was still somewhat worried. She couldn't believe that the high and mighty emperor would really allow her to get close to another man.
"Don't worry, he wouldn't kill you. I'm still useful to him, so he won't kill me. If you don't go now, when will you?"
Xie Changling saw the hesitation in Song Lingxi's eyes. He knew that this was too difficult for a woman to accept, but he would not let go unless he died.
"Xi'er, don't back down. We are the real husband and wife. He's the one who interfered and broke us up. Don't feel guilty, okay?"
He tried his best to persuade her, saying that Xie Changling loved Song Lingxi, that it was in his blood and deep in his bones, and he didn't want Xi'er to abandon him because of some bullshit power.
"But……"
Hearing that Song Lingxi still wanted to refuse, the fiery passion in Xie Changling's eyes completely faded, replaced by a stubborn and insane intensity. He wouldn't allow it, he wouldn't allow Song Lingxi to leave his world.
Even if it's just physical entanglement, he wants to be with Xi'er, to take, to release, to be entangled...
Xie Changling's kiss was incredibly passionate, carrying a hint of barely perceptible despair, making it impossible for Song Lingxi to utter a word of refusal. Her rapid breathing quickly heated up the atmosphere.
If things continued like this, they both knew what would happen next. Song Lingxi closed her eyes and acquiesced.
