The next day, the King of Li was already awake.
But he didn't get out of bed. Instead, he lay on his side with his eyes downcast, watching Fu Bai, who was sleeping soundly.
He used his eyes to describe Fu Bai's eyebrows, nose, and lips. Even though they had only met for the first time yesterday, the King of Li felt that this face and this person were already engraved in his heart. He could never forget them after just one glance.
As I watched, I couldn't resist and leaned down to kiss his pale, crimson lips.
Feeling the pressure on his lips, Fu Bai instinctively reached out and slapped him.
The movements were practiced skillfully, as if they had done it countless times.
The King of Li anticipated this and grabbed Fu Bai's hand, kissing his palm.
Unable to bear the disturbance any longer, Fu Bai turned his back to the King of Li and continued to sleep.
The King of Li looked at the back of Fu Bai's head and chuckled softly.
His voice was deep and pleasant.
The moment he encountered Fu Bai, the King of Li felt that the piece missing from his heart had finally been filled.
A short while later, a commotion came from outside, and the voice of Butler Chen Bo came in.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived."
Upon hearing this, the smile on the King of Li's face immediately faded.
"I understand," he replied, lifting the quilt and getting out of bed.
At the same time, Fu Bai opened his eyes, sat up from the bed wrapped in the brocade quilt, his fox eyes still drowsy and moist, the redness at the corners of his eyes not yet faded.
Beneath the brocade quilt, kiss marks and teeth marks overlapped on her fair skin, while her black hair cascaded down, creating a striking contrast between black and white.
She exuded an irresistible, passionate aura.
It's obvious at a glance that she's been thoroughly pampered.
The King of Li walked over, reached out and rubbed his graying hair, and said, "I'll go out and take a look. You continue to sleep."
Fu Bai shook his head: "I'll go out with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawn, and drowsiness turned into tears that slid down his face.
The tyrannical king reached out and crushed the teardrop, but in the end he couldn't resist, lifting the pale chin and kissing it.
A passionate kiss brought Fu Bai back to his senses. He changed his clothes with the King of Li and went to the outer room.
Uncle Chen was still waiting. When he saw Fu Bai and Prince Li come out together, he bowed to them and said, "Your Highness and Your Highness, Eunuch Zheng is waiting in the front hall."
Eunuch Zheng was the chief eunuch serving the emperor.
The King of Li nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he understood.
The King of Li and Fu Bai were not in a hurry. After washing up, they slowly walked to the front hall.
Eunuch Zheng had been waiting for quite some time, and a hint of impatience appeared on his face. However, upon seeing the Prince of Li approaching from afar, he quickly changed his expression.
When the King of Li and Fu Bai approached, he said with trepidation, "This servant greets the King of Li and the Queen."
King Li: "No need for formalities."
After Eunuch Zheng stood up, he waved to the little eunuch behind him, who immediately stepped forward carrying a tray.
The young eunuch was clearly afraid of the tyrannical king; his hands, holding the plate, trembled incessantly.
As if he hadn't seen her, Eunuch Zheng stated his purpose directly: "Your Highness, this servant is here on the Emperor's orders to deliver a crown and robes to the Princess."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Please have Your Highness and Princess change into their official robes and then immediately enter the palace to express their gratitude."
The marriage between Prince Li and Fu Bai was bestowed by the emperor, and Prince Li should indeed have gone to the palace to express his gratitude.
However, since the Prince of Li was "imprisoned" in his Prince of Li's Palace and could not leave without the emperor's decree, he had no intention of going to the palace.
Unexpectedly, some people couldn't wait to see the tyrant make a fool of himself and sent someone to summon him to the palace.
The tyrannical king looked at the princess's crown and robes in the little eunuch's hands, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He said to Eunuch Zheng, "Please go back, sir."
Eunuch Zheng frowned: "Does Your Highness intend to disobey the imperial decree?"
"As everyone knows, my madness is unpredictable. No one can guarantee that I won't have a relapse after entering the palace. If my brother is harmed, can you, Eunuch, bear the responsibility?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zheng felt a chill run down his spine, for he had personally witnessed the King of Li's madness.
When he went mad, he showed no mercy to his family, and how many souls did he cut down with his long sword? The blood that day stained the floor tiles red, and the long sword dripped blood continuously, the bright red also staining the eyes of the tyrant.
At that time, Eunuch Zheng hid in a corner, trembling as he watched the blood dripping from the knife tip.
From that day on, the King of Li's madness became common knowledge, and he became known as a murderous demon in other people's mouths.
The emperor also used this excuse to "imprison" him in the Prince Li's mansion.
If what the King of Li said is true, and he goes mad in the palace, can the Imperial Guards stop this god of death?
Thinking of this, Eunuch Zheng shuddered and, in a daze, led the eunuchs away from the Prince Li's mansion, as if if they were a step later, the Prince Li's sword would fall on their heads.
Watching the palace eunuchs flee in disarray, the Prince Li curled his lips into a sarcastic smile.
He then looked at the princess's crown and robes and said to Uncle Chen, "Burn them."
The princess's crown and robes sent from the palace were women's clothing; one could easily guess the intentions of the person in charge.
Whether it was forcing the King of Li to marry a male queen or specially sending a queen's crown and robes in women's clothing, it was all just a way for that person to humiliate him.
but……
The King of Li turned and glanced at Fu Bai.
Fu Bai felt the King of Li's gaze and looked back at him.
Their eyes met in mid-air. Fu Bai smiled at the King of Li, her eyes bright and clear, showing no sign of the unease that the King of Li had mentioned her madness.
The tyrant saw his complete self reflected in the pale amber eyes.
"Fu Bai, aren't you afraid that I will disobey the imperial decree and incur the emperor's punishment?"
Fu Bai looked at him and asked, "Are you scared?"
