Nie Zuier nodded, "I know, I won't die in vain. Everyone says that our Emperor of Bei Rong is cold-blooded and ruthless. It's true, no wonder that woman named Yun Yishang back then refused to be with him even in death."
"Cloud-like garments?"
Xie Lingqin's pupils contracted, somewhat shocked. "You know about the Cloud Robe Palm?"
Nie Zuier glanced at the door and around, her voice immediately softening, and a rare seriousness appeared on her charming face. "You actually know her?"
"I saw it in the library of the Heavenly Mystery Hall."
“I heard it from my father. The night before he died, he told me about it. He didn’t say much, just that this might have been the only woman the emperor ever loved in his life. But even as she died holding her child, she refused to look at him again. In the end, she just died…”
Nie Zuier finished speaking, then suddenly sneered, "The Emperor deserves it. A person like him should not die young, should not be loved, and should not die a good death."
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and patted Nie Zuier's shoulder, "I know you hate the Emperor, hate him more than anyone else, but some things can't be rushed."
"So I've been waiting, waiting for the moment when the Crown Prince ascends the throne."
Xie Lingqin left the Fuyue Casino with a slightly heavy heart.
That day, after the flowers fell in the palace, she heard the Crown Prince say that the reason the Emperor loved that woman the most died was because of her mother. Therefore, in addition to the secret of the 50,000 soldiers in her mother's possession, the Emperor also hated her because of this.
Now, she's pondering a question: could it be that Yun Yishang... committed suicide back then?
But her child did not die...
Could it be...?
Xie Lingqin clenched her fingers.
A woman who can command 50,000 soldiers to descend from the sky and defeat barbarians is someone who cannot be controlled unless she wants to, and even if that person is the emperor, he cannot force her.
Therefore, that child must not be the emperor's.
So, who is the man Yun Yishang loved, the one who got her pregnant and gave birth to her child?
More than ten years ago...
All of this fits together in terms of timing.
That person in black robes knew so much, so much that she was a lonely soul from another world.
"Miss, are you cold?" The worried voice of the giant clam rang out beside her, instantly pulling Xie Ling back to her heart.
Xie Lingqin trembled, suddenly came to her senses, looked at the giant clam, and in an instant, starlight suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Tridacna stepped forward with great concern.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."
"I noticed you were trembling just now," Tridacna said with concern. "Miss, if you're not feeling well, let's go back to the manor first."
Xie Lingqin didn't move, but looked at the giant clam. "Giant clam, sometimes I think your appetite is really strange. You can eat ten days' worth of food for an average person in a short time, or you can go a day without eating."
Tridacna paused for a moment, scratched her head, and looked a little uncomfortable. "Miss, why are you suddenly asking this? Could it be that you think I eat too much and want to send me away?"
"You're overthinking it." Xie Lingqin patted her head. "Let's go back to the manor."
That night, Xie Lingqin lay on the bed, unable to sleep, lost in thought. Suddenly, she felt a tightness around her waist, and a familiar scent drew near.
"What's wrong? You seem restless." Yuwen Yao's hot breath pressed against hers.
“No, I asked Zhuidamu about his relationship with the Yama Palace during the day, but…” Xie Lingqin shook her head, “Never mind.” As she spoke, she turned around and met Yuwen Yao’s eyes.
"Are you very busy today? You haven't come to see me."
Her voice was soft, and her fresh breath brushed against his face, revealing her unique charm.
Yuwen Yao took a deep breath, raised his hand and gently traced her eyebrows, her eyes, and her lips, then leaned in and took her lips into his mouth.
Now that they are in sync, Xie Lingqin is not a coy woman. Besides, she has already taken the initiative and experienced those passionate moments. She has turned the tables and become the one in control. However, there is a natural difference in physical strength between men and women. After a few breaths, she was panting and gave up. Looking at Yuwen Yao's thin, cold, and sexy lips in the dim moonlight in the room, she raised her fingers and gently rubbed and pinched them. "Your lips are quite charming."
“But you are captivating in every way.” Yuwen Yao gently stroked Xie Lingqin’s hair, cradling her head against his chest. “Qing’er, Qing’er, Qing’er…”
His murmurs seemed to draw her close to him.
"Alright, aren't you cold? Take off your outer robe and come in." Xie Lingqin was a little worried when she saw Yuwen Yao lying outside the quilt fully clothed.
"You knew it, it wasn't just me who got hooked, you felt the same way about me too."
“Go away, don’t be so frivolous. The imperial wedding banquet is in a few days. You’d better… behave yourself and not do anything reckless. Besides…” Xie Lingqin’s ears were burning, and her voice became even lower. “I’m also a little tired.”
"I know." Yuwen Yao stroked her head and patted her back gently. "Of course I know what I did."
These words are clearly a blatant temptation.
Xie Lingqin was about to say a few words of reproach when she looked up and met Yuwen Yao's eyes. She could clearly see the dark circles under his eyes and the weariness between his brows.
"Were you very busy today?" Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stroke Yuwen Yao's eyebrows and eyes, gently smoothing them out.
"Yeah, a little. There's just too much to do."
"You've worked so hard to marry me."
Xie Lingqin smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents, a smile that was both cool and captivating, making her even more alluring.
A kiss, a sudden, unexpected touch.
I took off my outer robe and went inside the warm blankets.
