Seeing that the emperor had left so suddenly, Murong Shuo felt quite regretful. He shook his head, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
The smoke of war dissipated in such an unexpected way. Many people had not even come to their senses before one of the protagonists had already left.
The people in the imperial garden looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and finally they all looked at Prince Jingnan.
Sikong Zhan didn't care much about it. He took Lin Jinghan's hand, smiled gently at her, stood up and walked towards the palace gate, actually intending to leave.
The show ended before it even began. Murong Shuo felt very sorry and ordered the maid to "go and look after the princess. As soon as she wakes up, bring her back immediately." Then he left.
Now that the two protagonists had left, there was no reason for anyone to stay, and soon the Imperial Garden was deserted.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Lin Jinghan couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "Your Highness, if the Concubine Xian hadn't suddenly had a stomachache today and the Emperor hadn't left, what would you have done?"
Sikong Zhan did not answer her directly, but held her and sat on him, staring into her eyes, and said word by word:
"No one can bully my Jinghan, not even the emperor."
He was talking about his Jinghan, not his princess, but her, Lin Jinghan, not any other woman. A warm current suddenly surged in his heart and instantly flowed through his body. Lin Jinghan was deeply moved and rested her head on his shoulder.
"My Lord, you are so good to me, I will fall for you."
Smelling the delicate fragrance on her body, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he asked with bated breath:
"So, Jinghan, have you fallen?"
Her face flushed, and she didn't answer him, but lowered her head even lower.
Not getting the expected answer, he didn't give up, hugged him tighter, and continued to ask: "Jinghan, are you falling?"
She bit her lip, her heart pounding, and she didn't know how to answer him.
He was dissatisfied with her silence and asked again with bated breath, "Jinghan, you..."
She took the risk, raised her head, stared at his lips as he spoke, mustered up her courage, and kissed him.
What answer could be more powerful than action? She was so proactive, and he already knew her feelings. He hugged her tightly and took the initiative.
When they were passionate, their eyes were only on each other. She didn't know when she fell down, and when she woke up again, she only saw him looking at her, with a strong possessive desire in his eyes, so strong that he didn't hide it at all.
Her heart was beating like a drum, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do for a moment, so she simply closed her eyes.
Her obedience gave him great encouragement, and he leaned over and kissed her again.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the driver Li Cheng said respectfully, "Your Highness, Princess, we're here."
He let her go with regret, trying to calm his heartbeat.
She opened her eyes, stood up suddenly, turned her back to him, and hurriedly adjusted her clothes.
He looked at the blush on the tip of her ear and smiled dotingly. After he had put his clothes in order, he picked her up without saying anything and strode out of the carriage.
Without even looking, she knew she must be extremely embarrassed. She could only let him hold her and bury her head in his chest to ease her shyness.
She thought he would carry her back to Nuanfengyuan, but he did not go to Nuanfengyuan. Instead, he carried her directly to his Gaoyuantang.
When she was put on the bed, she finally realized something was wrong. She opened her eyes suddenly and realized that this was not her own bed. She asked in surprise, "Prince?"
He looked at her affectionately, resisting the urge to rub her into his bones and blood. He tried to calm his breathing and asked seriously, "Jinghan, I want you, I want you now, are you willing?"
He said he wanted her... She looked at him intently, her mind seemed to be in a knot, her thoughts were a tangled mess that she couldn't make sense of.
Facing his gaze that could clearly take away everything but was so tender and affectionate, her heart seemed to melt and turn into a pool of spring water.
Am I willing? She asked herself seriously in her heart.
The man before her, possessing an air of dominance that looked down upon the world, only revealed his tender side when facing her. She knew she had completely fallen for him: if so, then—let’s sink together.
I do! She stared at him intently, opening her mouth to tell him what was in her heart.
But at this inopportune moment, a knock on the door sounded, and Tang Xun outside the door said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, there is ancient news!"
He carried his wife back to the bedroom. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that they should not be disturbed at this time. Tang Xun was not stupid. He dared to knock on the door at this time with such an anxious tone. There must be something urgent.
"Wait for me." He placed a light kiss on her forehead, let her go with regret, stood up and walked out.
"Your Highness..." Tang Xun was very anxious. He held a blood-stained note in his hand and immediately presented it to Sikong Zhan.
"Let's talk in the study!" Sikong Zhan interrupted Tang Xun, closed the door, took the note, and strode towards the study.
Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away outside the door, Lin Jinghan gradually calmed down.
It was hard to imagine that she was so impulsive just now and actually wanted to follow him...
Lust is really a double-edged sword! Lin Jinghan, oh Lin Jinghan, have you forgotten that your body is not even seventeen years old yet, not even an adult yet?
She stood up in frustration and cursed herself in her heart.
On the other side, after Sikong Zhan and Tang Xun entered the study, Tang Xun immediately said without waiting for Sikong Zhan to open the note:
"The people we sent to look for Gu Lao brought back news today that Gu Lao is trapped in Changdu City, the capital of Beijiang, and is in grave danger."
Sikong Zhan quickly finished reading the note and analyzed the current situation rapidly: Changdu City is far away from the capital. Since the old man’s sweetheart married to Beijiang, the old man has only been to Changdu City once. After returning, he was depressed for a long time and never set foot in Beijiang again. This time he was trapped in Changdu City, I’m afraid something really big has happened!
He was still worried about his old man's safety and tried to remain calm. "Please tell me the details of what we have."
"We don't know the specifics, but we do know that the people we sent out accidentally heard the news that Gu Lao had appeared in the capital of Beijiang while searching for him. When our people arrived in Changdu City, they saw Gu Lao protecting a woman and fighting against the Beijiang army. Our people went to help, but were almost completely wiped out. In the end, only Xie Chang was left, fighting desperately to protect Gu Lao and escape. Xie Chang hurriedly sent back a message saying that they were still in Changdu City and could be discovered by the Beijiang army at any time.
"We don't have secret agents in Beijiang to deliver messages. Xie Chang uses carrier pigeons. The carrier pigeons carry messages from Changdu City to Donglin, and then our secret agents deliver the messages back to the capital. This takes at least five days. I wonder if they can hold out during these five days."
