Chapter Seven: Don't Even Think About It
Chapter Seven: Don't Even Think About It! "Princess, Princess, another letter has arrived from the Ice Sea Kingdom!" Xiao Ai rushed into Wan'er's room in a panic. Wan'er took the letter, opened it, and a flash of cold air appeared in the phoenix-like mist. Her jade hand slightly clenched the letter, and it vanished into thin air. Wan'er took a few graceful steps. "Xiao Ai, you don't need to follow me," she said, and then left.
In the vast courtyard stood a woman dressed in white, her face veiled, revealing only a pair of captivating phoenix eyes—enough to topple kingdoms. She had lost her former intelligence and aloofness; now, her eyes were filled with anxiety—yes, anxiety. The Ice Sea Kingdom was on the verge of collapse. If Wan'er couldn't borrow troops soon, the Ice Sea Kingdom would vanish from history. She couldn't let those who loved her be harmed.
As Wan'er reached Yu Xun's door, she stopped. What should she do? How should she ask him for troops? "Sigh," Wan'er sighed softly. Let fate decide. Just as her delicate hand touched the door, she heard Yu Xun's angry voice, "Get out of here! Don't you listen to me anymore? Do you want to die?"
Wan'er was slightly taken aback. She pushed open the door and entered the room. Before she could react, the door was already closed, and she was being held in the arms of a warm, soft body. Due to the confusion just now, the white veil on Wan'er's face had disappeared, revealing her breathtakingly beautiful face.
Yu Xun gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful face in her arms. Her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth were all stunning, especially the blue butterfly beneath her right eye—a truly dreamlike beauty. "Who are you?" Wan'er asked, slightly startled by the voice. Then, a glint of light flashed in her eyes. "Your Highness, there's no need for further questions. You must be under the influence of the Love Poison Gu."
Yu Xun was startled, a flash of coldness crossing her eyes. "Who exactly are you? What brings you here?" Wan'er didn't answer, her captivating phoenix eyes fixed on Yu Xun, then she gave a charming smile that stunned Yu Xun.
Wan'er parted her pink lips slightly, "The Love Poison Gu is a very rare type of Gu poison, but it's also exceptionally easy to cure. It can be cured simply by mating with a virgin. It seems the person who cast this Gu is utterly foolish." Yu Xun paused slightly, "How can this Gu be so easily cured?" Wan'er smiled slightly, "Your Highness, whether you believe it or not is irrelevant to Leng Mei." Yu Xun raised a single eyebrow, a mischievous smile on her face, "Then, I believe you. However, I need you to cure me of the Gu, how about it?"
Wan'er nodded slightly and said calmly, "Yes, but..." Yu Xun lifted Wan'er's delicate chin. "But what?" Wan'er pushed Yu Xun away and knelt on the ground. "However, Leng Mei hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince can lend troops to the Ice Sea Kingdom. Your Highness need not ask any further questions, just tell Leng Mei your answer."
Yu Xun's alluring eyes gazed at Wan'er. This woman looked remarkably like his Crown Princess; their eyes were practically identical. Could they be the same person? How could that be? Didn't that woman herself say her appearance was ruined? Even Yao'er said so. "Alright, I agree."
Wan'er slowly stood up and sighed softly. Her slender hands removed her white robe, revealing her exquisite figure. Yu Xun's throat tightened at the sight, his eyes burning with desire. He couldn't wait to carry Wan'er to the bed, and the room was filled with the sight of spring.
(Sobbing, sobbing, it's such a pity that Xiao Wan'er's first time is gone just like that, sobbing.)
What a beautiful morning! The birds are already chirping their cheerful songs, and people are starting their busy lives. The tranquility of the night adds even more charm to nature.
At this very moment, in the study… Yu Xun slowly opened his alluring eyes, turning his head slightly to look beside him. The unforgettable beauty of last night was gone, leaving only the vibrant red of her stain on the sheets. A chill gathered in Yu Xun's eyes. He rose, fully clothed, and walked to the table, where Wan'er's newly written letter lay. Yu Xun picked it up: "Your Highness, your poison has been cured. I hope you will keep your promise and lend troops to the Ice Sea Kingdom. Leng Mei's own handwriting."
Yu Xun clenched the letter tightly in her hand. "Someone come here!" "Yes, sir." Yu Xun turned and sat down, coldly saying, "Mobilize everyone to find a woman named Leng Mei. Remember, she is the most beautiful woman in the world." The servant was taken aback. "Yes, sir." He then left.
Yu Xun looked up at the bright red stain on the bed. "Leng Mei, you took my heart, and you're just going to leave like that? Don't even think about it."
(Hey everyone, it's Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing. o(︶︿︶)o Please add this to your favorites, hehe.)
Chapter Eight: Thanks to that old man
Chapter Eight. Thanks to that old man, there was a courtyard in the palace filled with flowers, and butterflies would often fly by, landing in one spot and taking a peaceful nap. The other butterflies fluttered about as if trying to please someone.
Upon closer inspection, you see a woman reclining on an elegant chaise longue. She wears a white, flowing dress that accentuates her alluring figure. Holding a medical book, her captivating phoenix eyes are slightly closed, and a veil partially obscures her stunning beauty, adding to her allure and making one yearn to uncover the secrets beneath. The scene is utterly seductive. And look, those butterflies swarming around her—aren't they the woman herself?
This was the scene that Yu Xun saw when he walked in. His heart raced, and with a wave of his hand, the guards and maids retreated. The butterflies seemed to understand and flew away, leaving only Yu Xun and Wan'er.
Yu Xun slowly approached Wan'er, moving extremely quietly so as not to wake the lovely woman on the bed. Reaching Wan'er's side, a wicked glint of lust ignited in Yu Xun's eyes. Damn it, how could he feel anything for this woman? Looking closer, he saw eyes that were so similar, so much like Leng Mei's. If only he could remove the veil… Thinking this, Yu Xun reached out to take the veil, but just as his slender fingers were about to touch it, those tightly closed phoenix eyes calmly opened, his gaze utterly indifferent. "Your Highness, have you fallen for Wan'er?"
Yu Xun was taken aback, then removed her hand, her eyes filled with disgust. "Hmph, a disfigured woman, I am unworthy. I have come here on someone's behalf, to lend troops to your Ice Sea Kingdom." A faint smile flashed in Wan'er's eyes. She slowly rose from the chaise longue, curtsied, and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you." Yu Xun glanced at Wan'er and then turned and left.
Wan'er looked deeply at his cold and aloof back and smiled. Yes, she was mocking herself for having such ancient thoughts. It was just a first night, so why did she feel so lost when she saw him leave?
With a slight sigh, she turned around and was once again the serene yet exquisitely beautiful woman. She stretched out her jade-like hand, and immediately a swarm of butterflies rushed toward Wan'er, as if afraid of being forgotten.
Having these adorable little creatures around in ancient times wasn't bad at all. She reached her jade hand under her veil to touch the blue butterfly under her right eye and smiled indulgently. It was all thanks to that old man.
Liu Qinyao, who had come with the Crown Prince from afar, was filled with malice. She was jealous that Wan'er had stolen her position as Crown Princess and had so many admirers. Even if Wan'er's appearance was ruined, she would not tolerate her. Her large single eye rolled around, and a huge, grotesque smile spread across her face, twisting her teeth and making her look extremely ugly.
(Dear readers, this is a bit short, but it's okay, Xiaobing's next chapter is the main event, so don't go away.)
Chapter Nine: Pain (Part One)
Chapter Nine Pain (Part 1) And so, the mundane days continued, until… “Princess, Princess, how hateful!” Wan’er reached out her slender hand, picked up the watering can beside her, and gently stroked the magnolia in front of her. Her eyes flashed with pity as she gently watered the nearly withered magnolia with the watering can. “What happened? How could you make our little Ai so angry?”
Xiao Ai became even angrier upon hearing this. She ran up to Wan'er, snatched the water bottle from her hand, and said, "Princess, that little slut Liu Qinyao is pregnant! Aren't you worried, Princess?" Wan'er felt a pang of pain in her heart upon hearing this, and then smiled and said, "Xiao Ai, you've been with me for so long, how come you still don't understand?" Xiao Ai was taken aback, pouted her little mouth in a huff, and said sullenly, "Xiao Ai knows that what Your Highness wants is a peaceful and ordinary life, but, but Xiao Ai just can't stand it."
Wan'er took her little hand and patted it. "Didn't Xiao Ai once say that wherever the princess goes, Xiao Ai will go? So, Xiao Ai, what's the princess's decision?" "Xiao Ai will definitely support you!" Xiao Ai hurriedly said. Wan'er smiled slightly (though her face was veiled). "Then, I don't want to fight, I just want an ordinary life." (You want an ordinary life? No way! If you keep thinking about an ordinary life, you'll become the world's number one coward! Wan'er is about to be tortured, please don't blame Xiao Bing, it's just part of the plot. Hehe...)
Xiao Ai nodded emphatically, "Xiao Ai will absolutely obey the princess's decision."
"Oh, sister, you have such refined tastes." Wan'er's eyes flashed with a shrewd light. She slowly stood up, stepped forward, and took Liu Qinyao's delicate hand. "Why do you have time to come to my place, sister? You are pregnant, so please don't disturb the baby."
Liu Qinyao's eyes flashed with cold light as she smiled obsequiously, "Sister is right, I know I was wrong." Wan'er pulled Liu Qinyao to sit down at the table and released her hand. Then, a focus flashed in her phoenix eyes, "Sister, did you come today because you have something important to discuss with your sister?"
Liu Qinyao looked at Wan'er haughtily, "To be honest, I came here just to ask my elder sister for something."
Wan'er gave a cold laugh. "Oh? If I had it, I would definitely give it to you, sister."
Liu Qinyao snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I have what my little sister wants."
Wan'er's eyes flashed with impatience as she asked, "What does my sister want?"
Liu Qinyao stood up proudly and said, "What my younger sister wants is the position of Crown Princess, which is rightfully hers."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai immediately retorted angrily, "You're just a concubine, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly!"
Upon hearing a maid dare to speak to her like that, Liu Qinyao immediately slapped Xiao Ai across the face. "You lowly servant, how dare you speak so arrogantly! Guards, slap her!" "Yes, sir!" Several nannies walked towards Xiao Ai with glee.
Wan'er, who had remained silent until now, parted her pink lips slightly and uttered a chilling word, "Wait." Those two short words were enough to send shivers down the spines of everyone present. Had winter arrived? Wan'er coldly watched Liu Qinyao, a flash of anger and murderous intent crossing her eyes. They had crossed her line. "Xiao Ai is my maid. Did I give you the right to touch her? Or are you all tired of living, hmm?" Her words were utterly authoritative, her icy tone like a frozen river in winter, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.
Liu Qinyao trembled, a little timid, but still mustered her courage and said, "Hmph, let me tell you, Binghai Wan'er, I, Liu Qinyao, am well prepared for today. Do you think your words can do anything to me..." 'Slap!' Before she could finish speaking, Liu Qinyao felt a flash of white light before her eyes, followed by a sharp pain on her face. She was immediately filled with rage and about to explode, but then she glanced at Yu Xun not far away. She immediately grabbed Wan'er's clothes and said, "Sister, I was wrong. I will never bother the Crown Prince again. Please, sister, spare my child."
Wan'er remained calm after hearing this. She knew this woman was putting on an act for someone, so she, Binghai Wan'er, would lend her a hand. She leaned down slightly and quietly uttered cold words, "Sister, you're acting really well. Is the miscarriage scene going to be staged next?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qinyao was stunned and stared at Binghai Wan'er in disbelief. Wan'er's eyes flashed with cold light. "Hmph, fake pregnancy? You're too naive to play with me. I'll help you out, considering how hard you've schemed." With that, she shoved Liu Qinyao to the ground, stopping the play from continuing. She wanted to know if this man had feelings for her, and she also wanted to tell herself that she couldn't love this man.
(Dear friends, are you wondering how Wan'er knew Liu Qin Yao was faking her pregnancy? Have you forgotten? Wan'er can do everything in the modern world, except for walking on lotus flowers. So when she held Liu Qin Yao's hand, she secretly took her pulse.)
"Binghai Wan'er, what are you doing?" Yu Xun had just finished court and was looking for Yao'er, but Yao'er's maid said that Yao'er wanted him to go to the Crown Princess's place to find her, and that Her Majesty wanted the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to get along well. Thinking of this, Yu Xun angrily slapped Wan'er, then picked up Liu Qin Yao and roared, "Throw this vile woman and her lowly status into jail!" Wan'er being slapped was expected, but she didn't expect the slap to be so hard, almost knocking off her veil. Fortunately, Wan'er quickly put her veil back on, otherwise her little secret would have been exposed.
Wan'er ignored the faint red blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, looking at Yu Xun with a mocking smile, "Nothing special." These words provoked Yu Xun...
He was even angrier. "What are you all standing there for? Get out of here!" The guards walked towards Wan'er, trembling with fear.
Wan'er glanced at him indifferently, turned around, and walked towards the prison. In that instant, tears streamed down her face, a stark contrast to her usual indifferent demeanor. Her heart ached terribly. She had actually embraced those damned ideas of ancient women. She had damnedly fallen in love with this man.
Wan'er closed her eyes slightly, her slender hands stroking her lower abdomen. "Child, you've come at the wrong time."
(Dear readers, please be prepared, our heroine is going to suffer a lot, but I promise the rest of the story will be extremely exciting... Please look forward to it.)
Chapter Ten: Pain (Part Two)
Chapter Ten Pain (Part Two) "Reporting to Your Highness, Consort Liu's child... the child is lost." An elderly man knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to utter a sound.
Meanwhile, the sinister-looking man sitting opposite him looked completely indifferent, glancing at the old man on the ground with amusement. "Oh? Is that so? It's alright. Physician Zhang, just report this matter to the Emperor truthfully." Physician Zhang was taken aback, looking puzzled, but quickly and respectfully withdrew.
As soon as Physician Zhang left, a dark figure appeared in the hall, respectfully kneeling down and coldly saying, "Your Highness, Consort Liu did indeed fake her pregnancy, and the poison was also administered by Consort Liu."
Yu Xun's enchanting face remained largely unchanged, only a slight smile played on her thin lips, a flash of cold light passing through her eyes. In her slender, long hand she held a piece of white sand, while her other hand gently stroked the elegant blue butterfly on it—a gift left by Leng Mei. How excited he had been when he saw it! He was determined to find her. Then, she coldly looked at the man opposite her. "She...is there still no trace of her?" The man shuddered upon hearing this, then quickly regained his composure, though his voice, no longer icy, now held a hint of fear. "I've only found out that the woman has contact with the Crown Princess. I beg Your Highness to give us more time; I will definitely find that woman."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xun's eyes flashed with murderous rage, and she gripped the white sand in her hand tightly. She coldly said, "Proceed according to the original plan. Leave no survivors from Minister Liu's family."
"Yes," the man replied and disappeared. Yu Xun looked out the window with a bloodshot gaze. "Liu Qinyao, I pretended to be so affectionate, yet you still wouldn't listen. Fine, I'll spare your life for a few more days." After saying this, she looked at the white sand in her hand, her eyes filled with deep longing.
Meanwhile, how are Wan'er and Xiao Ai, who were thrown into prison, doing now? "Princess, waaaaah, it's all Xiao Ai's fault for dragging you down." Xiao Ai's cute big eyes were red and swollen from crying. She hated herself so much; it was all her fault for dragging the princess down.
Wan'er seemed to see through her thoughts. She reached out her jade-like hand and gently stroked Xiao Ai's swollen face, which had been hit by Liu Qinyao. Gone was her usual coldness and sternness, replaced by the tenderness she showed to a family member. "Xiao Ai, don't blame yourself. If you cry again, I'll cry too." After saying that, she pretended to cry.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai hurriedly said, "Xiao Ai, don't cry, Princess, don't cry either. Xiao Ai will protect the Princess." These words were so heartwarming. Wan'er smiled gently, her heart touched. This little palace maid who had always been afraid of her was now saying she would protect her. What warm words!
"Xiao Ai, does your face still hurt?" Xiao Ai smiled cutely, "Princess, Xiao Ai doesn't hurt anymore. With the princess by my side, Xiao Ai doesn't feel any pain." Wan'er smiled indulgently and tapped Xiao Ai's little nose.
Just then, several drunken jailers walked in. The one in the lead was truly an eyesore. With a single command, he said, "My hands are itching today. And those prisoners are all half-dead. How about we take our newly arrived Crown Princess?" The other jailers laughed along, "Good, good! These royal relatives take advantage of their status and do whatever they want. Today, let's vent our anger on this Crown Princess."
The crowd opened the cell door, one voice after another, and several jailers tried to grab Wan'er. "You disgusting bastards, get your filthy hands off her! You can't afford to offend the princess!" Xiao Ai stepped forward and spread her arms to protect Wan'er. Behind Xiao Ai, Wan'er felt a warm glow in her heart. She smiled faintly and tried to use her powers, but no matter how hard she tried, it was useless. Could it have failed her at this moment? No way!
Upon hearing Xiao Ai's words, the jailer slapped her across the face and then kicked her away. "Who do you think you are? Bah! This ugly hag who has lost power can't compare to Consort Liu. Even if I kill her, no one will dare to say anything." Xiao Ai was kicked and crashed into the wall. After landing, she vomited a pool of blood, her brows furrowed in pain, her face pale and weak. She then fainted.
Upon hearing the jailer's words, Wan'er immediately understood that his backer was Liu Qin Yao. She then looked at Xiao Ai lying on the ground, her eyes blazing with fury and a chilling light gathering within them.
Her whole being was filled with murderous intent. She clenched her fists tightly and endured it all. Her magic power had disappeared at this moment, and she was not skilled in martial arts and could not defeat these people. Wan'er looked coldly at the jailer. Her captivating phoenix eyes no longer had their usual indifference, but were filled with anger and chilling aura.
The jailer was momentarily intimidated by Wan'er's appearance, but after a moment's thought, why should he fear a weak woman? He stepped forward and slapped Wan'er across the face.
However, with the addition of several layers of internal force, Wan'er was forcefully thrown a considerable distance. Wan'er reached out to protect her veil, afraid it would fall off. The white veil was already stained red with blood, but Wan'er was powerless to care; since the veil hadn't fallen, she was relieved.
Seeing this, the jailers were about to go up and beat her when a young guard ran in and said in a panic, "Consort Liu is here. She wants you to take Binghai Wan'er out." Upon hearing this, the jailers grabbed Wan'er and dragged her out.
(Dear friends, please bear with me a little longer, Wan'er's suffering will soon be over.)
