For some reason, He Ying felt a chill in the room and couldn't help but shiver a few times.
After lighting the lamp, he wisely slipped away.
"Why don't you ask me?" Lu Xingjian suddenly said.
Su Wanwan looked into his slightly cool eyes and said calmly, "If I ask, will you answer?"
His tone was somewhat nonchalant and cold:
How will you know if you don't try?
Su Wanwan simply said, "You knew about the earthquake in Weizhou City all along, but you didn't tell me a word."
Lu Xingjian's brows were cold and brooding, and his face was tense.
"Are you saying that I should remind my newlywed wife to take care of her ex-lover?"
Su Wanwan said calmly, "Why put it so harshly?"
"You go to see Maggie, do I have any objections?"
Lu Xingjian frowned, coldly retorting, "How can these be the same?"
Su Wanwan frowned: "You are the emperor. It is your freedom to favor whichever woman you want. I have no intention of interfering."
"Guard Xiao is only responsible for ensuring that the dowry I donated is spent wisely and not taken advantage of by others. I don't even have the right to inquire about his safety?"
Lu Xingjian narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, glanced at her, and said nothing.
That suppressed anger was about to burst forth, creating a powerful sense of oppression.
Seeing this, Su Wanwan stood up and bowed:
"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, please return to the Qianqing Palace to rest. Your Majesty, I will respectfully see you off."
This is tantamount to telling them to leave.
If two people don't see eye to eye, it's better to separate than to argue.
Anyway, he has Maggie to comfort him.
Lu Xingjian's suppressed anger erupted instantly.
He suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
Caught off guard, Su Wanwan instinctively placed her hands on his shoulders, trying to keep her distance from him.
A unique fragrance wafted into my nostrils.
The scent was very faint; it wasn't the ambergris he usually used.
He probably picked it up while he was with Maggie.
Her anger surged.
He comes back to her after being intimate with other women. Does he really think she has no temper?
The two men locked eyes, their gazes cold and sharp, neither backing down.
"Why waste your time here, Your Majesty? Don't keep Ma Ji waiting." Su Wanwan's tone was distant.
Lu Xingjian sneered, a hint of sarcasm playing on his lips.
"The Empress is so generous, trying to push me to another woman."
Su Wanwan said coldly, "Of course, Your Majesty's wishes should come first."
She paused, then added, "If you wish to bestow upon her the rank of Consort, I will not stand in your way."
Lu Xingjian stared expressionlessly at her face, which was bathed in the warm candlelight.
The voice was cold and indifferent, with a very soft ending.
"Your Majesty is overthinking things. Right now, I only wish to favor you."
Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and felt extremely disgusted by the intimate contact between the two, so she tried her best to resist.
However, it had no effect.
Her body seemed to be welded to his leg, and no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free.
Enraged, she completely lost her temper, both anxious and furious: "Lu Xingjian, you bastard!"
She doesn't want any dirty men.
Lu Xingjian pinned her hands together behind her back and pinched her chin with his other hand.
The voice was soft, yet carried a hint of gritted teeth:
"Am I the bastard or are you the bastard?"
"Am I a bastard? Let me go!" Su Wanwan's face was stubborn, her eyes were like fire, she just wanted to distance herself from him.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
This hint of disdain completely ignited the man's anger.
"Dream on."
He kissed her pink lips fiercely.
...
In the stillness of the night, Su Wanwan nestled softly against the man's neck, like a pool of water.
I was still very angry inside, but I didn't have the strength to resist.
When two people who have experienced intense passion are physically close, they will instinctively be attracted to each other and feel a flutter in their hearts.
The man closed his eyes, slowly calmed his breathing, and then sought out her lips to kiss her.
Su Wanwan turned her head away, avoiding his kiss.
The atmosphere became slightly tense.
“I didn’t touch anyone else,” he whispered in her ear.
It had a hint of coaxing in it.
Su Wanwan's voice still held a hint of anger: "It was bound to happen sooner or later."
Lu Xingjian curled his lips into a smile and said, without discerning whether he was telling the truth or not, "You're just daydreaming."
"They all pounced on us on purpose."
Su Wanwan finally looked at him: "If you don't allow it, they won't dare."
Lu Xingjian looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes seemingly filled with deep affection, his voice hoarse.
"I'll only let you pounce."
Su Wanwan's gaze paused slightly.
His indifferent expression softened slightly.
He looks really alluring.
The man, taking advantage of the situation, flipped her over and pinned her beneath him, his handsome nose gently brushing against the side of her nose.
"I'm so busy with you every day, I don't have time to care about other people."
Su Wanwan's eyes flickered as she looked at the handsome face so close to her, half believing and half doubting.
But I quickly ran out of energy to continue thinking about this problem.
...
The next morning, Su Wanwan, still half asleep, helped Lu Xingjian tidy his clothes and casually said something.
"Miss Wen didn't take a liking to Gu Ziyu."
Lu Xingjian yawned absentmindedly, "Let her be."
The newlyweds were in high spirits, and even though they argued so much last night, they eventually reconciled.
Su Wanwan's hand, which was holding his collar, paused slightly as she remembered something else:
"Mrs. Qiu came over yesterday and talked for a long time, looking very worried."
Lu Xingjian raised an eyebrow, his gaze slightly narrowed, and his slender fingers unconsciously caressed her waist.
"I will look for Liu Yu."
He paused, then said, "The earthquake in Weizhou was very small; it's just an excuse they're using to shirk responsibility."
Su Wanwan looked up at him and simply said "Oh".
Is he explaining this to her?
She was actually quite angry last night.
Firstly, because of Maggie's matter.
Secondly, she thought he was deliberately concealing the earthquake in Weizhou, not wanting her to know anything about Xiao Bin.
She was present when he mentioned the burning of the stables in the eastern city of Shunshengchuan to the Duke of Baoguo.
He didn't tell her that this place was very close to Weizhou.
If Xiao Bin really did die in the earthquake, how will she cope with the consequences?
Before leaving, Lu Xingjian reached out and touched her cheek, a little worried:
"Can you handle it?"
Today, she will have to deal with the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang on her own.
She is gentle by nature and easily bullied.
On the contrary, Maggie's reckless and domineering nature allowed her to get along well for a while.
Su Wanwan nodded: "It's okay, you go ahead."
Lu Xingjian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll leave Li Rong to you."
"No need. If you're really worried, just let Meng Yue come with me."
Su Wanwan smiled faintly and bent down to adjust his belt.
Her jet-black hair hung down her back, with a wisp of hair falling beside her cheek, making her features look exquisite.
Her eyebrows were naturally green without being painted, and her lips were naturally red without being rouged.
Her eyes were watery, and her little face had a faint blush and a lazy look.
The coldness from last night's argument was gone from her face; she was now gentle and compliant.
The light pink undergarment accentuated her slender and graceful figure.
He knew best how alluring her figure was.
