He wanted to practice all the postures he had secretly seen in the picture book, but Su Qingci's body had not yet recovered, and he fainted after only three or four times...
Unlike Su Qingci, who lives a life of luxury and has a noble body, Yan Xuanye has an extremely good physical condition. After all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
Today was also his first time to taste the forbidden fruit, and his addiction and passion had not yet been extinguished, but Su Qingci had already fainted, so he could only stop in a hurry.
Yan Xuanye called the maid to fetch water. The maid who passed by him with a bucket of water looked up and accidentally saw the scratches at the corner of his mouth, and then hurriedly lowered her head.
After the maids left, Yan Xuanye carried Su Qingci into the bathtub to wash her.
He didn't dare to bathe for too long. The weather was getting colder, and Su Qingci hadn't recovered yet. If he caught a cold, he would easily catch a cold.
Fortunately, the mattress on the couch was made of wolfskin, which was very warm and she didn't have to worry about being cold.
Yan Xuanye changed her clothes and then fell asleep slowly in his arms.
He had a beautiful thought and was even imagining how Su Qingci would change his attitude towards him after waking up.
But the reality is completely the opposite.
…
In the early morning, people were hurrying outside the tent. Su Qingci woke up very early and could even hear the footsteps outside the tent.
Everyone was busy packing up and preparing to withdraw, but the two of them were the only ones who felt as peaceful as if they were in paradise.
Yan Xuanye was sleeping soundly, with one hand resting on her head and the other on Su Qingci's waist, his head resting on her shoulder.
Su Qingci took just one look and turned away in disgust.
But her action caused something to look up.
Yan Xuanye was half asleep and noticed that she had turned her back, then he hugged her tighter. Something was facing her proudly.
Su Qingci's whole body stiffened.
She didn't know if it was because she woke up early in the morning or because she didn't want to be around him, but she actually felt a little nauseous.
Yan Xuanye nuzzled her neck and asked, "Why did you wake up so early?"
Su Qingci said unhappily, "It's so noisy outside, how can I sleep?"
Yan Xuanye held her close, "It's true that it's a bit noisy. Just hold on a little longer. Once we return to the palace, it won't be noisy anymore."
Su Qingci didn't reply. She was still wondering how to get the message to Lu Guang.
Now she couldn't leave the tent and had no paper or pen. In two days, Yan Xuanye would take her back to the palace of Fengyuan State. Then she would have no way to contact Lu Guang. She was anxious and angry.
While she was thinking, Yan Xuanye stretched out his right hand and began to unbutton her collar.
Su Qingci noticed his movement, froze for a second, and then quickly pushed his arm away.
Compared to her, the one who was more shocked was Yan Xuanye.
Isn't it said that after a man touches a woman, she will submit to him? Why is Su Qingci still so resistant to him?
Su Qingci sat up straight, with lingering hatred in his eyes, "You got what you wanted last night, now you can let me go."
Yan Xuanye was stunned and frowned, "Who told you that I already got what I wanted?"
Su Qingci stubbornly asked back, "Isn't it?"
"Don't you just want my body?" She angrily picked up a pillow and threw it at him. "Now you have it, don't you? Why won't you let me go?!"
Yan Xuanye sneered as if he had heard a joke, and turned his head away with gritted teeth.
Not long after, he turned back, trying hard to suppress his anger, and asked her, "What do you think of me?"
Su Qingci rolled his eyes and turned away, saying angrily, "What can I think of you?"
"You're full of calculations, forcibly stealing someone else's wife, and forcibly defaming someone else's innocence. You're not doing anything a normal person would do. Even with that, do you still think you're a good person?"
Yan Xuanye pulled her hands and forced her to turn around. "I admit that the means I used to get you were dishonorable, but that was only because I love you and want you."
Su Qingci's brows were filled with disgust, and he struggled hard, "Love? Do you know what love is?"
"Is taking by force also considered love?" she questioned.
Yan Xuanye felt sad when he saw this. He didn't know why things were so different from what he had imagined. Why did she still resist and hate him so much?
Seeing Su Qingci struggling like crazy, he felt very annoyed. He grabbed her wrist and forced her into his arms.
"Rob and plunder are also love. I admit that my methods were not fair, but I didn't hurt you, nor did I hurt Lu Huan."
Su Qingci struggled restlessly in his arms, but Yan Xuanye held her arms and waist tightly, preventing her from moving. "I am jealous of him, but now his life and death, as well as your mother's, are in your hands."
Su Qingci froze up and kicked him fiercely, "What do you mean?"
Yan Xuanye: "Your Nanchang Emperor ordered Lu Huan to quell the rebellion, but he only gave him 50,000 soldiers. This... you don't know, right?"
Su Qingci really didn't know that not long after Lu Huan left, she was captured by Lu Feng and his men, and she didn't even have time to receive Lu Huan's letter to report that he was safe.
Moreover, not long after Lu Huan went to war, Lu Guang was also summoned to fight, so she knew nothing about what happened on the battlefield.
"Prince Ning brought 100,000 troops to attack Yizhou. Yizhou is remote and mountainous. Even if Lu Huan doesn't have enough manpower, he must first apply to the emperor for more troops. Only with the emperor's approval can he send troops to Yizhou. The timing in between is very important..."
"Are you sure that Lu Huan will be safe?"
"Prince Ning rebelled, but he attacked Yizhou, which is closest to Youzhou. If he is short of men, it would be much faster to recruit more than to transfer troops from Shangjing."
"Although I previously promised King Ning to lend him troops, whether to lend him troops or not is just a matter of my words."
Noticing Su Qingci's stiffness, his hands relaxed a little, gently stroking her cheek, and said, "Ah Ci, if you make me happy, I won't lend troops to King Ning, okay?"
"I'm about to withdraw my troops. Puzhou is no longer under attack, and Lu Guang still has 60,000 troops. Think about it, if these 60,000 men could go to support Yizhou, wouldn't Lu Huan be much safer?"
He guided her step by step, leading her into his trap.
Yan Xuanye thought that the reason why she was so resistant to him now was simply because they were not very friendly when they first met, which left a bad impression on her.
Moreover, she already has someone else in her heart, so it will naturally take more effort for her to accept him again.
As long as she stays with him and he treats her well, she will fall in love with him one day.
He can wait.
Su Qingci listened to Yan Xuanye's words and naturally understood the severity of the situation. She closed her eyes in despair and said nothing more, but her heart was filled with frustration and anger.
Yan Xuanye sighed softly, then straightened her collar and said, "I was too anxious last night. I apologize to you, okay?"
