Tang Wan turned around when she heard the voice and faced the person who came. What she saw was a pair of pure black boots with silver patterns on them, which looked low-key and luxurious.
She followed her line of sight and saw that the man had an extremely handsome face, with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Those eyes seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts. They were sharp and indifferent, and his nose was high.
He had thin lips, which gave him the look of a heartless person as the old people often said. There was also a scar on his brow bone, neither too deep nor too shallow, which added a bit of wildness to him. He wore a white jade crown on his head, was about eight feet tall, and wore a moon-white brocade robe.
Tang Wan pretended to be panic-stricken, her beautiful eyes filled with water. She half fell to the ground and gently stroked her chest, as if she was very frightened.
Xuanyuan Che also looked at her. The woman in front of him was wearing a pink palace dress and a simple little fox wooden hairpin on her head, which was simple and clean.
Her skin was as white as the finest mutton-fat jade, she had a beautiful nose and red lips, a rosy face with a spring-like hue, and tears were flashing in her beautiful peach blossom eyes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that her face was of the color of an immortal jade.
Xuanyuan Che was about to say something when he saw the woman in front of him hurriedly stand up and run away in a panic.
Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows and saw the small white handkerchief fallen on the ground, and his lips slowly curled up.
Tang Wan ran very fast, as if she was afraid of being caught up. The cold air filled her lungs, and she could hardly hold on any longer. She couldn't help coughing: "Cough cough cough cough..."
"Host, why are you running so fast? Why don't you talk to the male lead?!" Xiaobai was anxious. This was such a good opportunity.
Tang Wan waved her hands, her face flushed from coughing. She calmed down for a while before saying, "Xiaobai, you told me before that Xuanyuan Che is very suspicious, right?"
Xiaobai nodded: "Yes, yes."
Seeing that it didn't seem to notice anything wrong, Tang Wan couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand: "You said it all, he is very suspicious. If I talk to him, a few words might reveal my true identity."
"Besides, it's so late at night. He might think I knew he would pass by here and prayed there on purpose. If he really misunderstands me, it will be more trouble than it's worth. We'll have come out here for nothing today."
"Host baby, you are so smart." Xiaobai wagged his big tail and rubbed it around her legs.
Tang Wan smiled but said nothing.
…
Xuanyuan Che was intrigued by the woman's hurriedly leaving figure.
"Tsk, your waist is quite thin."
If Tang Wan were here, she'd probably start complaining and rolling her eyes in her mind, "I altered the clothes specifically just so you can see. They're so tight, it's impossible for them to be thin."
However, Xuanyuan Che picked up the handkerchief on the ground and looked at it with interest. A faint fragrance swirled around his nose, which was the scent of gardenia.
There seemed to be some other flavor, warm and cozy, which he didn't know how to describe. His face was gloomy, and he suspected that some minister knew his preferences in advance and sent such a beauty in.
Although he has no heir, he will never allow the royal bloodline to be contaminated. Is he trying to fill it with people? He is in his prime and can still deal with some people. It all depends on who is afraid of death and who is not.
He clenched the handkerchief embroidered with small orchids and wanted to throw it away, but somehow he put it into his arms. With his bony fingers, he picked a few petals from the tree and crushed them into pieces bit by bit.
The bright red juice remained between his fingers, forming a sharp contrast with his pale hands full of blue veins. Xuanyuan Che had been treated as a tyrant for too long, so it was normal for him to be a little crazy.
The corners of his mouth curled up into an ambiguous smile. It would be interesting to see who would be the first to give in...
When Tang Wan returned, everyone was already fast asleep and no one had woken up. She patted her chest in fear, thinking that if she were discovered, she would definitely not be in an easy situation.
"Host, I have good news for you."
Tang Wan was covering herself with the quilt when she subconsciously replied, "What good news?"
"Um, the scumbag who betrayed you in your previous life also sent this?"
"What?" Tang Wan's heart was instantly filled with rage, and she almost cried out.
"Shh, host, don't worry too much. I am definitely on your side. He came through here just to torture my dear host." Xiaobai jumped in her arms and snored comfortably.
Tang Wan calmed down a little, clasped her palms tightly, and after a while, she sighed, "What do you need me to do?" She knew there was no free lunch in the world.
Xiaobai's voice was cheerful, "Host, all you have to do is win Xuanyuan Che's favor~"
Tang Wan: "Isn't this... the mission we were supposed to do?" She still had a stunned expression on her face, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
"It's different, host. Our mission is to give birth to children for these children of destiny. But if we want to take vengeance on the scumbag, we must possess the love of the children of mission."
Tang Wan's breathing gradually became rapid, and her face revealed excitement. For her, this kind of thing was like pie in the sky. She raised a cold and cruel smile on her face and murmured, "He Yi, I will make you live a life worse than death."
…………
It was late at night. After Xuanyuan Che finished processing the last batch of memorials, he rubbed his brows and began to feel uncontrollably irritated. His mind was full of bloodthirsty thoughts.
The movements of his hands gradually became out of his control, and the fine rosewood table was smashed to pieces by a slap of his hand. He picked up the long sword that was half a person's height and looked around for something.
The palace maids and eunuchs had left early. This was Xuanyuan Che's own request. He would lose control every fifteenth day of the lunar month. Once he lost control, he would kill people indiscriminately. However, human lives were innocent, and he was unwilling to treat human lives as worthless. Therefore, he had ordered that after the hour of You, no one would be needed to serve in the main hall.
He had conquered his kingdom on horseback, so there was no need to say much about his skills. He had well-trained assassins hiding in hidden places, so naturally no one would be brave enough to assassinate him.
Because he was afraid of the heat, he was only wearing a thin layer of pajamas. His muscles were bulging, his long black hair was loose, his face was pale, and blood was oozing from his lips. He looked both demonic and evil.
He tried hard to control himself and threw the sword to the ground. With the sound of "clang", he walked slowly on the soft and exquisite carpet. He decided to knock himself unconscious on the bed.
He fell on the bed, and seemed to smell something faintly. The smell was very fragrant and warm, and seemed to have a soothing effect. The restlessness in his heart was calmed down at once.
As the fragrance filled his lungs, he gradually began to feel sleepy. His tense muscles softened and his heart stopped pounding. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a drowsy sleep.
