Sheng Xiyan was indifferent. He was a liar, a heartless man, and a heartless man...
Seeing that pretending to be in pain didn't work, Xuan Ling simply held her face and kissed her forcefully.
Sheng Xiyan bit him hard several times, but he didn't let go. He let her bite and vent for a while. The strong smell of blood filled their mouths.
Xuan Ling held her in his arms and said softly:
"Baby, do you remember where you bit me for the first time?
I remember it very clearly. It was on the street. You were squatting on the ground crying. I helped you up and kissed you. Not only did you not kiss me back, you also bit me hard.
That was the first time I felt your strong emotions.
It turns out that Yanyan is a person who loves passionately. Do you know how happy I am in my heart even though my mouth hurts?
This proves that you didn't regard me as an emperor at that time, but as a man who loved you."
Sheng Xiyan went from being cold to sobbing softly. She reached out and hit him, sobbing, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear it."
She didn't want to be with him anymore, for fear that she would be hurt mercilessly again after reconciliation.
Xuan Ling wiped her tears and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. You are protecting the fetus, so you can't cry. Be good and calm down."
Sheng Xiyan leaned on his chest and smelled his scent - the fragrance of sinking water mixed with his own masculinity, it was the smell she was deeply attached to.
A strong premonition made her sad.
How to deal with losing his heart?
She couldn't bear to leave him, nor could she bear to leave the smell of him.
Two days later.
Sheng Xiyan's body had recovered a lot. Xuan Ling didn't let her stay bored in the back hall, so he carried her to the soft couch in the front hall and accompanied him to read the memorials.
Eunuch Fu came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Teng has returned to the capital and is requesting an audience outside the palace."
"Send him in."
Sheng Xiyan came up with a plan and pulled him aside, saying, "Your Majesty, didn't you say you wanted to grant a marriage between Prince Teng and Xue Qiong? Why not call Xue Qiong over to finalize this matter together?"
When Xuan Ling heard Xue Qiong's name, his dark eyes froze for a moment, and he said calmly, "Alright, go get Princess Xue Qiong."
Prince Teng entered the hall, looking exhausted, and presented the imperial sword with both hands.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and returned."
Xuan Ling said gently, "Quick, help Prince Teng up."
Prince Teng bowed and said, "I was able to return to the capital so quickly thanks to the Imperial Concubine's prescription, which effectively cured the cholera."
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Prince Teng has lost weight."
Xuan Ling took the report booklet and looked at it. Prince Teng talked about some things about going south to provide disaster relief.
A palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, Princess Xueqiong is here."
Sheng Xiyan stared at Xuan Ling, observing his expression.
"Summon her into the palace."
Xue Qiong was wearing a light green plum blossom mink dress today, which made her look lively and pure. She was just over the age of coming of age, and was as tender as a flower bud.
"Your Majesty, your servant, greets you."
Her voice was so tender that it could squeeze water out of her, and her eyes were blazing as she looked towards Emperor Xuanwu.
Sheng Xiyan clearly felt the big hand holding her slowly loosen. Xuan Ling let go of her hand because he saw another woman!
Sheng Xiyan felt very cold in her heart and sneered at herself. When the feelings came, she couldn't stop them. She was no longer able to stop them.
"This is the Wusun fragrant tea that Xue Qiong brought. Your Majesty, please do me the honor of tasting it."
Xueqiong took the poisoned tea tray from Eunuch Fu, went to the soft couch and placed the tea tray on the low kang table.
A strong Canaan fragrance lingered around, and Sheng Xiyan suddenly felt nauseous and touched his chest to vomit.
But Xuan Ling was staring at Xue Qiong without blinking.
"Your Majesty, try it. Are you satisfied?"
When Xuan Ling took the teacup, his fingers touched Xue Qiong's, which dealt another heavy blow to Sheng Xiyan's heart.
Even Prince Teng noticed the ambiguity between the two, and saw that Sheng Xiyan's eyes were filled with tears that she was trying to hold back.
To smooth things over, he said, "Wusun's tea is indeed fragrant. Could you please give me a cup to try?"
Xue Qiong poured a cup, brought it over to Prince Teng, then returned to the couch, knelt on the palace carpet, and held Xuan Ling's hand.
She raised her head and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, is there something you want to tell me today?"
Her blue-black eyes were suggestive, and the insect in her wrist stuck to Xuan Ling's skin.
If Emperor Xuanwu announced on the spot that he would canonize her as a concubine, then the three stages would be completed and she would completely become the emperor's most beloved woman.
Xuan Ling only felt a burning sensation behind his ears.
He couldn't help but stare at her, his eyes filled with affection.
Suddenly, Sheng Xiyan grabbed Xuan Ling's other hand and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that when Prince Teng returns to the capital, you will grant him and the princess a marriage?"
Xue Qiong said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, Xue Qiong does not want to marry Prince Teng."
Prince Teng always felt that this scene was very strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Xuan Ling said coldly, "Noble Concubine, let's discuss this later. Prince Teng, you have just returned to the capital. Go back and rest well. Tomorrow morning at the court, I want you to explain the disaster relief work to the court officials so that everyone can learn from the experience."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Prince Teng looked at Sheng Xiyan with sympathy. Alas, this is the love of the emperor, and the imperial concubine is strong.
Xue Qiong glanced at Sheng Xiyan provocatively and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine doesn't seem to like me and always wants to marry me to another man."
Sheng Xiyan clutched the goose down blanket covering her body, trying hard not to break the window paper.
La Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Xuan Ling remained indifferent, his other hand still held by Xue Qiong.
In a fit of anger, Sheng Xiyan picked up a ginseng fruit and smashed it to the ground.
"Pah!" There was a splashing sound.
Xuan Ling came back to his senses, shook off Xue Qiong, and asked hurriedly, "Yan Yan, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xue Qiong stood up from the ground and glanced at Sheng Xiyan. The two of them provoked each other.
Xue Qiong secretly glanced at the love Gu floating behind Xuan Ling's ear, and knowing what was going on, she bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, she raised the corners of her lips and said, "In less than three days, Emperor Xuanwu, you will fall in love with me completely. Imperial Concubine, you will have to get out of the Yangxin Palace soon."
She just saw the color of the insect behind Xuan Ling's ear turn bright red, proving that the insect was growing rapidly in his body, and his feelings for her would also accelerate, having reached the last stage of the three stages.
Tsk, this princess is really looking forward to that moment.
My dear concubine, what should you do? Wait till you die of tears!
Inside the hall, Sheng Xiyan lay in Xuan Ling's arms, staring blankly in silence. His gentle voice of comfort was in her ears, but she couldn't hear a single word he said.
She had only one thought: she must not leave, otherwise she would give up on her own initiative - and give Xuan Ling to Xue Qiong.
For the sake of the children, she must stick with him.
How easy is it for a woman to turn around gracefully? ...
She wanted to keep this home, even though her love had soured.
That night, the two of them slept in each other's arms on the dragon bed.
Sheng Xiyan heard Xuan Ling talking in his sleep in a daze. He jumped up and listened closely. He seemed to be saying,
"Don't let the golden bell stop..."
