"You Lanyi."
Xuanyuan Wentian muttered Xiao Lan's name in a low voice as his finger lightly stopped at the side of Xiao Lan's lips.
"You are my woman," she said. "You are my woman, no matter who you are or who that man is. You will never change your life. You will never be able to escape."
Xuanyuan Wentian's pitch-black eyes swept across Xiao Lan's face inch by inch with infinite gentleness.
He knew that she had no love or even hatred for him.
He knew that forcefully taking her last night was not a good thing.
However, she was too smart, so smart that he felt scared. Just when she entered the palace last night, he felt a nameless danger, he faintly felt that he would lose her.
So, regardless of whether she was willing or not, he had to make her his woman as soon as possible. That way, even if one day he was unable to make her his woman and let her escape, she would still remember that she was his woman, his woman.
Gao Yuan looked up for the third time at the rising sun. Another hour had passed, but why had the Regent and his wife not woken up yet?
Gao Yuan took a step closer to Rufeng. "Protector Rufeng, are the princes and concubines also so late in waking up at the prince's estate?"
Rufeng glanced at Gao Yuan. Without speaking, how could he tell anyone about his master's situation in the Prince's Mansion?
Seeing that Rising Wind had ignored him, Gao Yuan retreated with an embarrassed look on his face.
Sigh, how much longer would he have to wait …
"What are you all doing here?"
An authoritative voice boomed from behind.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and after seeing who it was, they all quickly kneeled on the ground.
"Your subordinate pays his respect to the emperor!"
"Your servant greets the emperor!"
Xuanyuan Hong walked up to them with a dark expression and scanned their surroundings, asking, "What's going on?"
Gao Yuan looked up, his expression conflicted and awkward.
"Your majesty, the regent and the wangfei haven't woken up yet, and you haven't settled your servant's matters. This is all your servant's fault, it's your servant's fault for being late, I beg your forgiveness, your majesty."
Gao Yuan's voice was sorrowful, his words expressing his guilt, but clearly hinting that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Xuanyuan Hong Xi looked coldly at the inner courtyard and then shifted his gaze to Rufeng.
Swift as the wind, without waiting for Xuanyuan Hongxi's words, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. This subject will immediately summon Your Highness to his side."
Yan Bi Rufeng quickly walked towards the inner courtyard.
Gao Yuan and the others could ignore him, but Xuanyuan Hongxi could not. After all, he was the emperor of a country. They could not lose face in front of everyone.
Wind like the wind came to the door of the inner room and lightly said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has come to Xin Bamboo Garden."
Inside the room.
Xuanyuan Wentian indifferently replied, "This king knows."
After saying that, there was no more sound from the inner room.
Windswept frowned.
Gone?!
What does Your Highness mean by this?
Could it be that he still couldn't do it?
How should I report this to Xuanyuan Hongxi, who is standing outside the courtyard?
He shifted his gaze quickly and straightened himself after a while. He then returned to the courtyard with steady steps.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the Prince has already risen."
The meaning behind his words was that he would soon come to seek an audience.
Xuanyuan Hongxi's expression was somber as he remained silent. As an emperor, the dignity he exuded made people tremble in fear.
Now that they were standing where they were without a single word, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads. Their expressions were anxious and their breathing was shallow as they carefully accompanied them.
Xiao Lan had woken up when Windy came to report, but she did not want to open her eyes. She knew that Xuanyuan was right in front of her, and his aura had completely enveloped her.
Everything from last night uncontrollably began to appear in Xiao Lan's mind again and again.
Xiao Lan, who had her eyes closed, fiercely gritted her teeth. She pursed her lips and held her breath. Only by doing so would she be able to restrain the thought of perishing together with Xuanyuan Feng.
A warm palm slowly covered her waist, causing Xiao Lan's entire body to stiffen.
"Don't remember?"
Xuanyuan Wentian's warm breathing and low voice fell into Xiao Lan's ears like light feathers, carrying tenderness and bewitchment.
Xiao Lan forcefully grabbed the blanket beneath her.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and the force of his grip on Xiao Lan's skin suddenly increased.
Instantly, Xiao Lan stuck closely to Xuanyuan Wentian.
Xiao Lan's scalding skin ironed Xiao Lan, causing her to quickly open her eyes.
A pair of pitch-black eyes, a peerlessly beautiful face, and a tender smile were clearly reflected in her eyes.
Xiao Lan was stunned.
Monster!
He was a complete monster!
A monster that could make people lose their mind!
Seeing that Xiao Lan was only staring at him in a daze, the smile on Xuanyuan Feng's lips gradually deepened. He had originally thought that the first thing she would do when she woke up would be to kill him.
Had she become obedient after a night's sleep?
If that was the case, he would have made love to her earlier.
Just as the corners of Xuanyuan Yun's mouth curled up to the maximum, Xiao Lan finally regained her senses. Without hesitation, she extended her arm to push at Xuanyuan Yun with all her might.
But how could he know that Xiao Lan's full strength that she thought was a joke when it landed on Xuanyuan Yun's body? Xuanyuan Yun grabbed onto Xiao Lan's hand and dubiously clenched his fist.
"What do you mean, 'wangfei'? If there is any need, This King will definitely fulfill it for you. "
Xiao Lan's gaze was fierce. "Scram."
She told him to scram, that was what she wanted.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yun actually gave a shallow smile.
"The Japanese king is in a good mood today, so he doesn't mind your rudeness. But don't do it again next time."
Don't do it again? What could she do! Xiao Lan forcefully retracted his palm, "Xuanyuan Yun, let go of me. If you don't let me go, I'll chop you into pieces!"
"Chop This King up? Alright, This King will help you prepare the axe. When the time comes, let's see whether you'll cut This King off first or This King will sleep first. "
"Xuanyuan!"
Xiao Lan's angry roar caused the crowd outside the courtyard to be stunned on the spot.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, including Xuanyuan Hong Xi. Xuanyuan Hong's eyes were wide open as he stared at Gao Yuan.
Was he hearing things?
Did she call him by his name?!
Gao Yuan nodded his head while maintaining his composure.
Yes, the regent's wife called him by his first name.
Ru Feng calmly looked at the shocked expression on everyone's faces and couldn't help but mock in his heart.
"Look at how useless all of you are. You're already so shocked just by calling out your names. That's when you see the wangfei trying to kill the prince; that's when you shock the world!"
Not long after, the door opened and Xuanyuan Yun, who was clad in white clothes and brocade, walked out.
Everyone held their breath and looked towards Xuanyuan Wentian's side.
No one?!
The Regent's Consort had not been thrown out by the Regent!
Xuanyuan Wentian arrived in front of Xuanyuan Hong Xi in front of everyone's shocked and incredulous gazes.
"I wonder why Your Majesty is looking for this subject?"
Xuanyuan Hong Xi looked at Xuanyuan Wentian very carefully and his face was calm, even concealing a hint of happiness. His heart was shaken.
Could it be that Xuanyuan Wentian really doted on her?
Why else would he be so tolerant of a woman who had offended him?
Xuanyuan Hongxi narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the regent was in love, and things were about to become interesting.
"I came to see how your wangfei forged her crossbow."
