Chapter 44: The Paranoid Emperor's Bird in His Palm 16 shuhaige.net



The girl's transparent earlobe was bitten by her teeth until it turned as red as a cherry.

Ruan Mian felt uncomfortable while in a coma.

I frowned, but I couldn't wake up no matter what.

“Hmm…”

I could only stay in bed and whimper pitifully.

Qi Wuyuan took off the girl's white cotton shoes and socks.

The girl's toes were cute and round, and they curled up when she sensed danger.

The dark blue blood vessels are faintly visible under the fair skin.

Ruan Mian struggled with all his strength, but only moved slightly.

The girl was trapped in a nightmare and couldn't wake up.

In her hazy consciousness, she could sense someone, and she pushed softly.

"don't want……"

Ruan Mian's eyelashes were stuck together into several clumps by tears.

The corners of her eyes were covered with fine, dense crimson.

The more she struggled, the more dangerous Qi Wuyuan would be.

Just as the boy was about to reach for the girl's robe, an indifferent voice came from outside.

"Wuyuan, come out."

It was his sister, Princess Elsa.

Tsk, he was very unhappy that his good thing was interrupted.

The boy leaned against the porch with his arms folded, his eyes dark and angry, his thin lips tightly pursed.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Aisha had guessed his thoughts long ago, and her tone was filled with warning.

"This place is not like Mobei where you can do whatever you want. You should be more restrained."

Her dark blue eyes glanced into the room, and her voice was filled with solemnity.

"I'll leave everything else to you for now, but you can't touch that girl."

Qi Wuyuan frowned angrily, "Why? Isn't she just a little maid?"

Aisha could tell that Lou Che had special feelings for this little maid.

The defeat in Mobei came at a time when we were seeking peace. We could not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains and cause unnecessary changes.

She lowered her eyes and glared at her brother like a knife, "Come with me."

The boy was so annoyed that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He looked back several times, reluctant to leave.

When Ruan Mian woke up, it was already the next day.

My head feels dizzy and heavy, and it hurts.

"Hey, where did Awu go?"

I was clearly still talking to myself, so why did I fall asleep for no apparent reason?

I can't figure it out.

Then forget it.

After washing up, the girl hurried to the imperial kitchen to help. She squatted beside the stove and added firewood. She kept coughing because of the smoke. Her eyelashes were stuck together by tears and were filled with water vapor.

When she was at her most embarrassed, Lou Che came.

He was wearing an elegant golden robe with dragon patterns, outlining his tall and straight figure.

His face was cool and handsome, and his steps were calm, giving people the feeling that he was in control of everything.

"His Majesty is here!"

Everyone knelt down and saluted in panic, never expecting the emperor to suddenly come to the kitchen.

At the signal from the chief eunuch, they all retreated.

The man looked gentle, dignified and elegant. He was a man of such a noble status, and there was an unbridgeable gap between him and the girl.

After all, he was going to marry Princess Elsa.

When Ruan Mian thought of this, a faint bitterness welled up in his heart.

Lou Che didn't notice anything unusual about the girl. He bent down, took the firewood from her hand and put it on the ground.

He took the little hand that was slightly dirty and dusty, and wiped it clean gently with his handkerchief.

"Mianmian, I'm leaving the palace today to go outside the city to pray for blessings. Is there anything you want to eat or anything else?"

His tone was so gentle that the girl's eyes misted over for a moment and she answered with a choked sob.

"No, I don't want anything..."

The man held her shoulders and asked her with a worried look on his face, "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Ruan Mian twitched her delicate nose and shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Lou Che held the little girl in his arms and coaxed her in his magnetic and hoarse voice.

"Don't cry, can I buy you some osmanthus cake?"

The last time I left the palace, I remember she seemed to love eating.

The girl's eyes were wet and her voice was soft.

"not good……"

The man knew that she was angry and was about to comfort her, but he caught a glimpse of red spots on the girl's snow-white skin, as if they were left by someone not long ago.

In an instant, his relaxed brows turned cold, and his arms around the girl's waist tightened even more, as if he wanted to knead her into his bones and blood.

"It hurts, please let me go."

Ruan Mian let out a soft and tender sobbing sound, tears welled up at the corners of her eyes, and she looked excessively delicate and weak.

Lou Che ignored her struggle and pressed his slightly cool fingertips directly on one of the red marks on the back of the girl's neck.

He asked her sinisterly, "Mianmian, who did this?"

The girl had no recollection of what happened after she fell into a coma, and naturally didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly became angry.

"I don't understand what you're saying..."

Her timid words took on a different meaning when heard by the possessive king. Didn't she say it was to protect that shameful wild man?

It was obvious that the man bit so hard on purpose, as if to show off.

"How long have I not been keeping an eye on you? You're already out hanging out with others?"

The sinister and vicious words stabbed the girl's heart like a knife.

The girl clenched her outer robe with her fingers, her small face, the size of a palm, was pale without a trace of blood, and tears as big as beans fell to the ground.

"Lou Che, you bastard..."

She was so angry and aggrieved that she called the emperor's name directly, not caring whether it would result in the death penalty.

The girl didn't look like she was pretending. Could it be that someone took advantage of her while she was sleeping?

Lou Che lowered his eyes and thought, with a terrifying murderous aura lingering around him.

"Mianmian, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

For the first time, the man apologized humbly and coaxed the girl in a soft voice.

"Humph, I won't forgive you."

"Don't be angry, I bought you a lot of osmanthus cakes, from the same shop you loved to eat before."

The girl couldn't bring herself to do that, so she turned her head away proudly, "I, I don't like it..."

The man wanted to stay with her for a while, but Defu at the door urged him quietly, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to leave."

He could only hurriedly leave a message, "Mianmian, wait for me to come back."
