Chapter 514: The Thousand-Year-Old (35)
Wen Wan originally planned to sleep on the floor, or have Gu Li sleep on the floor, but who would have thought that there was nothing in the room except for the bed, let alone a second quilt? This emperor was determined to prevent them from living apart. He was really ruthless.
The weather is so cold; if I sleep on the floor for a few days, I'll probably get sick even if I'm not already.
Wen Wan looked at Gu Li and said, "Don't worry, I sleep very well at night and will never do anything to you."
Gu Li: "..."
Shouldn't he be the one saying that?
The other person is a girl, so it feels like the roles have been reversed?
"Um."
To avoid being exposed, the male lead even used a fake voice. It wasn't a clear, feminine voice, but a neutral one, which was more magnetic than a typical woman's voice, making Wen Wan's ears tingle.
...
The two lay in bed, neither able to fall asleep for a while.
This was the first time Wen Wan had ever shared a bed with a man, and what's more, he was a top-tier handsome guy.
This is really testing her.
But neither of them spoke; they both seemed speechless, unsure of what to say. No one had ever experienced such a scene before.
Finally, Gu Li broke the silence, saying, "There's someone outside the door."
Wen Wan glanced at the door in surprise, "No way? Is this really necessary?"
He never expected that someone would be sent to eavesdrop. How idle must this emperor be? Doesn't such a large country have enough to worry about?
Wen Wan: "What should we do?"
Gu Li: "We can only try to dispel their doubts."
After that, Wen Wan thought about the erotic novels she had read, then grabbed the bed and started shaking it, and made Gu Li start screaming.
Gu Li's groan, which remained expressionless, made Wen Wan blush.
What kind of scene is this?! She really can't take it. How can a man moan so lewdly? It really makes her doubt the extent to which she slept with him.
There are even strong emotions involved, and when these emotions are running high, it can even look like you're about to suffocate.
Countless erotic novels flashed through Wen Wan's mind.
Even if the male lead is a eunuch, that's still the standard for a male lead!
The people outside also left quickly, clearly having received their answers and gone to report back.
Wen Wan felt even more embarrassed, and didn't dare to look Gu Li in the eye. "Then... let's go to sleep."
Wen Wan kept trying to hypnotize herself, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did. Gu Li said, "Maybe I should leave first."
"Where are you going?" Wen Wan grabbed Gu Li's arm.
"With me here, Your Highness is unable to rest properly. It would be better if I left."
"Who knows if there are still guards watching outside the door? It's too risky for you to go out. You should go to sleep. I'm just not used to it yet, but I'll get used to it."
In the end, Gu Li did not leave, but instead used a pillow to separate them, saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't touch you."
Wen Yan: "..."
Perhaps because I had experienced so much that night, I don't know when I suddenly relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Li, however, did not sleep.
There were originally two people suffering from insomnia, but now it seems that he is the only one.
Looking at the person next to her in the dim moonlight, she was sleeping peacefully.
My heart never stopped beating from the very beginning, engulfing all my reason like a raging fire.
He liked the person in front of him.
It wasn't the original Second Prince, but merely this soul, whose name was unknown and from who-knows-where, that had taken over the Second Prince's body.
If he hadn't entered the palace, he would have had the courage to reveal his true feelings. But now, he no longer had the right. He should have stayed away, but instead, he despicably stayed by her side, watching everything she did.
When she married Princess Meiyi, Gu Li even thought about killing the princess so that she would be hers.
However, he held back, and nothing happened between them, which gave Gu Li a despicable pleasure.
However, to my surprise, this happened a second time.
When Gu Li learned that the emperor was forcing her to marry again, his rationality collapsed in an instant, and he made a decision he had never thought of: he was willing to dress up as a woman, but he didn't want other people to stand by her side, or sleep next to her.
She was like a rat living in a gutter, and one day a ray of light shone in, and he desperately wanted it to shine on him forever.
Light is good, it is kind.
But he himself developed a desire to imprison himself.
As Wen Wan slept, she began to behave herself. No one had ever told her whether she slept properly or not; she had always slept alone anyway.
Wen Wan's hand suddenly and unconsciously landed on Gu Li's body, then her legs, and the pillow in between was pushed aside by her. Then she hugged Gu Li like an octopus.
Gu Li: "..."
Then he reached out and put his arm around the person.
"sorry."
Gu Li whispered, but she was powerless to resist.
...
The next morning, Wen Wan woke up groggily, only to find herself lying on top of Gu Li.
Wen Yan: "..."
Goodness, is she really that desperate? I feel like slapping myself for saying I have an elegant sleeping posture. How is that elegant?
Carefully lower your legs and then pull your hands out.
She then dressed as fast as she could and fled the room.
As she left, the person on the bed who had been lying with their eyes closed suddenly opened them.
Xiao Cui saw that her mistress looked flustered. "Master, are you alright?"
Wen Wan: "It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong with me?"
Xiao Cui saw her mistress's face turn completely red, and even if she had something on her mind, she subconsciously denied it.
He's just a eunuch, nothing will happen to him.
After washing up, the emperor's eunuch came over. The emperor first bestowed a lot of gifts upon him, and then continued, "Your Highness, the emperor said that the whole family will eat together at lunchtime. Your Highness and the Second Prince's wife will also be there."
Wen Wan nodded. "We will definitely come."
The emperor often invited all his sons and daughters to dine together, along with his concubines. Most of the concubines with children would come, and those without children could also attend. In any case, this family banquet had a huge number of people.
Fortunately, it doesn't happen every day, at most once or twice a month.
Wen Wan picked out clothes for Gu Li. She inexplicably developed an interest in dressing up a beautiful woman. After a long time of searching, she finally chose a light purple dress. "Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Li changed into a dress, then had Xiao Cui comb his hair and put on simple yet luxurious accessories.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Wen Wan was stunned. Even Xiao Cui, who always had some minor opinions about Gu Li, thought that he was indeed handsome. She thought to herself: What's the point of a man being so handsome? Does he want us women to live? Wen Wan also dressed in a matching outfit and tidied herself up before taking Gu Li to the banquet.
