"I can barely tell, I guess." Dugu Jue's expression was indescribable.
Chu Yuan remained calm and asked, "How's the writing going?"
Without even thinking, the latter replied, "Not very good."
Chu Yuan, "..."
She stared at him with a death stare: You bastard, I'm giving you a chance to take back that rude nonsense you just said!
However, Dugu Jue ignored her. He walked leisurely to the table and sat down, his long legs facing Chu Yuan with a broad and imposing stance. He smiled faintly and said, "I didn't realize you had so many tricks up your sleeve. I can sense that Dugu Ling already has quite a bit of affection for you."
Chu Yuan closed the box containing the letter and walked towards Dugu Jue, mimicking his cheeky smile, "Oh, really?"
And you, how much do you like me?
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that her body was being controlled by an external force. As she spun around, Dugu Jue grabbed her waist and made her sit on his long lap.
"What do you think?" The man's breath was warm, his voice ambiguous, lingering on her ear.
Chu Yuan wasn't nervous at all; instead, she went all out and said, "I guess you want to have a baby with me right now?"
The woman's unbridled behavior completely stunned Dugu Jue...
Realizing what was happening, he pulled back his hands, forcing Chu Yuan to press tightly against his chest. "If you're in such a hurry, I don't mind."
Chu Yuan didn't mind at all.
She was just curious, "I said, Dugu Jue, although you and Dugu Ling both think that you are completely different people, you just share a body for special reasons."
"What if Dugu Ling really falls for me, but you don't like me? What will you two do?"
It can't be that only one person is dating her.
Separated by day and night is one thing, but who should she be thinking of when she's doing *that*?
Chu Yuan's words caused a slight smile to appear on Dugu Jue's cold lips. "That's impossible."
"Hmm?" Chu Yuan was curious about why he was so certain.
The next instant, the man's lips covered mine, lingering and chasing each other tenderly. "If I kiss you now, he can feel it. Right now, he's very angry and is yelling at me to stop!"
Chu Yuan was so breathless from the kiss that she couldn't say anything.
After a while, Dugu Jue moved his lips to her neck, and bit down with his two small tiger teeth that were not usually visible, which hurt Chu Yuan so much that she trembled slightly.
The man spoke arrogantly, "I'm not like that fool Dugu Ling. Romantic love and affection aren't indispensable to me. So, you can like him, but remember to save your first time for me, because he can't give it to you."
Dugu Ling: Brother, thank you so much!
Chu Yuan pondered the deeper meaning behind Dugu Jue's words, and in her astonishment and bewilderment, the latter had already released her.
As if nothing had happened, she poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.
Because Chu Yuan didn't like tea, and the tea was a bit cold, he frowned unhappily, his cold gaze fixed on the flickering candlelight on the wall.
That look was so cold and aloof, it was almost tantalizing, it made you itch with desire.
"Knock knock," the door was knocked on, and Xia He's voice rang out from outside, "Miss, the weather has changed. Would you like me to light a charcoal fire for you?"
Xia He clearly knew that Dugu Jue was there, which is why she didn't push the door open rashly.
But while she asked this question, she was also reminding everyone that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room late at night.
Moreover, Chu Yuan's current status is no different from that of a concubine waiting for the emperor's favor.
Seeing that there was no sound from inside the room, Xia He became anxious and pressed her lips against the door, "Miss, the lights in Shou Kang Palace are all on. The Empress Dowager might look for you when she wakes up. Let's get ready."
Xia He was Ji Yun's maid who grew up with her since childhood. There were originally several maids, but the others all died, leaving only Xia He.
Naturally, they were utterly loyal to their master.
Chu Yuan turned around, about to kindly persuade Dugu Jue to go back, but the latter had already stood up without any hesitation and said meaningfully, "Future concubine, I will take my leave first and will not disturb you any longer."
Chu Yuan, "..."
Wouldn't it be better to just call me Mom?
He'd barely kissed her lips before saying such things; what a terrible child he is.
She thanked him on behalf of Dugu Tianxiong!
For the next few days, Chu Yuan didn't see Dugu Ling or Dugu Jue again, wondering what the two of them were up to.
However, after the Empress Dowager conducted a thorough investigation, she must have found solid evidence. On that day, she issued an imperial edict summoning Princess Xiaoyao and her daughter, Dugu Pingting, to the palace for an audience.
When the Empress Dowager does something, the palace keeps it very secret, and even less of the news can be heard outside the palace.
So when she received the imperial decree, Princess Xiaoyao thought it was because her daughter was about to get married and the Empress Dowager was going to bestow a great favor upon her. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
But Dugu Pingting was secretly a little uneasy, after all, the Empress Dowager had been ill for many days after that meal, and even though she had asked to see her several times, she had not succeeded.
Thinking it over, she subconsciously tugged at the carefree Princess Consort who was walking with a brisk pace, "Mother Consort, I...I'm scared."
Li turned around, puzzled. "What are you afraid of? My goodness, the Empress Dowager likes you the most. She has praised you more than Princess Fushun. She also said before that she would add to your dowry when you get married. Now it's just that this matter has been put on the agenda! Hurry up and stop dawdling. The Empress Dowager doesn't like people who are not punctual."
Madam Li smiled and specially instructed the gatekeeper to prepare a larger carriage, so that there wouldn't be too much stuff to fit later.
On the way, Madam Li kept talking, "My dear, when your mother gave birth to you, she knew you were a lucky one. Sure enough, you are much smarter than your sister. You know how to start with the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, that old lady only has eyes for the eldest son who has become the emperor. How could the eldest son's children possibly look at your father?"
