"Yu Yao, are you stupid?"
Holy crap!
Xie Lingqin's anger flared even more, so much so that she cursed and grabbed Yuwen Yao's arm, biting down hard on his firm muscles without any regard for the consequences.
"Hiss..."
Yuwen Yao winced in pain, but didn't flinch. Instead, looking at the wet little head on his chest, he found it even more adorable, even more...
"Hmm, bite me, let me sober up, so I won't do something a gentleman wouldn't do."
Yuwen Yao's words seemed to express his frustration and annoyance.
Xie Lingqin...
have to!
She ran into a real problem; it was her fault.
"Alright, take me back to the manor. I was thinking that after everything that's happened, especially that night when I took the aphrodisiac and almost got taken advantage of by Yuwen Xian, and tonight being pressured by the Emperor like this, and Xu Yiran's ambiguous feelings towards me, you feel insecure, and I feel insecure too. Li Qingyu's eyes when she looks at you, she seems to want to strip you naked and drag you to bed. So, I was thinking..."
Xie Lingqin sighed softly, her voice rising and falling in a rhythm that made everyone's hearts pound.
"I'm afraid that things won't go as planned, and unexpected events always happen unexpectedly. It's better if we just make it official now, that we belong to each other, and see who can still think about me or covet you. Li Qingyu should give up now, and Xu Yiran will find other women everywhere..."
Xie Lingqin's melodious voice suddenly stopped, and she slightly raised her head.
Because Yuwen Yao suddenly stopped what he was doing, in the dark room behind him, the steam from the hot spring pool wafted around, and the light from the luminous pearl reflected on his delicate and slightly flushed face, making him look radiant.
Yuwen Yao stared intently at Xie Lingqin, gently set her down, and stood up while supporting her shoulders. He met her eyes, "You just said, you said..."
The usually composed and unflappable Crown Prince now had trembling lips and a barely audible voice. The sudden surge of fervor and joy in his eyes made his jade-like face radiant and captivating.
"You said, tonight, you are willing, you want to... be with me..."
Xie Lingqin froze, gasped, and then...
So, she worked hard all night, but this guy was really slow on the uptake, only just realizing what was going on now.
No, you've misunderstood.
Xie Lingqin got angry and turned around to deny it, but she had only taken one step when Yuwen Yao pulled her back, lowered his head and kissed her lips, then moved to her earlobe and gently bit it, "You're so bad."
Xie Lingqin trembled. This action was too ambiguous, and this voice was too...deep, too hoarse, and too heart-pounding.
But how can you let yourself be taken advantage of in something like this?
Xie Lingqin suddenly raised her hand and pulled open Yuwen Yao's belt. However, the clothes that were already wet and clung to his body did not slip down as expected. Instead, Xie Lingqin could see through the clothes his smooth and firm chest, his fair and jade-like skin with a light pink hue...
"Hmm, nice figure."
Xie Lingqin commented, raising an eyebrow, her breath catching in her throat, a smile playing on her lips, "So, tonight, I'm going to sleep with you."
Yuwen Yao's eyes darkened, "Qin'er—"
"Shh!"
Xie Lingqin raised her finger and pressed it against his lips. "Don't say anything about saving it for our wedding night. With you by my side, every day is our wedding night."
Yuwen Yao's Adam's apple bobbed. The emotion he felt at that moment made him realize that there really was no way to express himself. He pulled Xie Lingqin into his arms tightly and carefully. "Okay, from now on, we will have our wedding night every day. The ten miles of brocade and the vast land will be dyed with silk. Qin'er, I will marry you."
He carried her out of the dark room, placed her on the bed, and channeled his power into his palm. In an instant, both of them were dry and warm all over.
However, the lingering, warm fragrance in the air tugs at one's heartstrings, making one want to immerse oneself in it and quicken one's breathing.
A kiss landed, and Yuwen Yao held Xie Lingqin tightly, guiding her rhythm, her very soul.
As her outer robe fell away, her inner garment slipped off, revealing a girl's flushed, fair and delicate skin. Yuwen Yao's face flushed crimson with heat, his handsome eyes filled with tender affection, as if a single breath could melt Xie Lingqin.
On the bright red bed, he leaned over her, their eyes locked in a burning gaze, his hand moving downwards...
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."
Outside, a stuttering sound suddenly came from the wind, which didn't sound good.
Yuwen Yao and Xie Lingqin's eyes, which were almost lost in another world, instantly cleared.
"explain."
It was Xie Lingqin who spoke. Tingfeng and Tingyu both knew what she was going to do tonight, so she had sent them away early. But her appearance now must mean something important.
"Miss Lingqin, news just arrived from the palace that Her Majesty the Empress is ill..."
Is the Empress ill?
Who brought the message?
Yuwen Yao said in a deep voice, then stepped back to show his tenderness and affection towards Xie Lingqin.
"Yes, Young Master Xu."
"Xu Yiran?" Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed, and her face instantly fell.
Xu Yiran...
He must have learned something from the giant clam. Is he so determined to have her that he even went so far as to attack the Empress?
"Let's not delay, let's go take a look."
Xie Lingqin gently pushed Yuwen Yao.
Yuwen Yao nodded slightly, but gently pressed Xie Lingqin's shoulder, "You rest well, I'm here."
With a wave of his hand, Yuwen Yao donned his robes and went out.
The beaded curtain swayed gently under the bright sunlight, creating a shimmering effect.
Outside the Crown Prince's residence, Xu Yiran stood with her hands behind her back, watching Yuwen Yao walk out. Her face was not as relaxed as usual, and her expression was cold. "Your Highness, do you need me to accompany you to the palace to see the Empress?"
