☆、031 Impure
She was frustrated, frustrated that she hadn't discovered it sooner, hadn't seen through Li Changxi's conspiracy sooner, and hadn't exposed him.
Even now, even though she knows everything, she has no choice but to swallow her anger because of the disparity in strength between the two sides!
Her father was willing to sacrifice his own life to protect her, so why couldn't she do the same as his daughter?
"Father, I would never stand by and watch anything happen to you. If that were to happen, I would be worse than a pig or a dog. I hope you can understand my sincere heart and not make things difficult for me any further."
As a father, Ye Fan didn't want Ye Xiaowei to be hurt in any way, and Ye Xiaowei, as a daughter, felt the same way.
"Imperial Physician Wen, if there really is such a miraculous doctor as you describe in this world, could you please find a way to introduce me to him?"
Wen Yuhua looked troubled, which Ye Xiaowei noticed: "Imperial Physician, is there something wrong?"
Wen Yuhua said, "Your Highness, to be honest, this divine physician was someone my grandfather met when he was young, which was several decades ago. Moreover, although that divine physician looked quite young back then, he was actually an old man in terms of physical age. Now that so much time has passed, I'm afraid..."
Could this be the will of Heaven? She is the Crown Princess of Phoenix Feather, the future emperor, a son and grandson of the dragon. Even if it is the will of Heaven, she will defy it!
"Even if there is only a sliver of hope, I will never give up! I must find that divine physician! Physician Wen, during my absence, I hope you can take good care of my father in my place."
"Your humble servant will do everything in his power to serve the Emperor and Empress!"
"Father, you must take good care of yourself while I am away!" As she spoke, her gaze gradually became firm.
"Trust your son, do not give up easily. Your son will definitely find that divine physician for you. As long as your son finds the divine physician, your recovery will be just around the corner. You must wait for your son's return!"
Ye Xiaowei held Ye Fan's hand tightly, and Ye Fan nodded repeatedly with tears welling up in his eyes.
As soon as Ye Xiaowei stepped out of Fengning Palace and alighted from her sedan chair, she saw Dongxue standing at the door. Upon seeing Ye Xiaowei approaching, Dongxue quickly bowed and smiled somewhat ambiguously: "Master!"
Ye Xiaowei glanced at Dongxue and said with amusement, "Dongxue, did you drink honey today?"
Dongxue was taken aback by the question, and stared at Ye Xiaowei with her big, watery eyes wide open, looking innocent and puzzled.
"No, why do you say that, Master?"
Qiu Mei rolled her eyes at Dong Xue, cursing inwardly, "That idiot girl."
Ye Xiaowei smiled very gently and kindly, and continued in a nonchalant tone: "Because you smile so much like you've drunk honey water, your mouth stretches all the way to the back of your ears."
"Ah~" Dongxue quickly covered her mouth with her hand, while Ye Xiaowei just smiled and walked past her.
"Why are you running to the door? Is something wrong?"
"Young Master Li has arrived. I've asked him to wait for you in the side hall!"
Li Muyan? Ye Xiaowei frowned. This man, who had driven her to her death in her past life and killed their son right before her eyes, made her feel pain in her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys the moment she heard his name.
The nameless fire in my heart surged up and burned fiercely!
She really didn't want to see this guy. Every time she saw him, she would get angry. But now that he had gone to the Eastern Palace, and their relationship was not ordinary, but rather that they were engaged. It would be perfectly normal for him to come and see her.
"Dongxue, go and tell Li Muyan that I went to the Empress's Fengning Palace and need to bathe and change my clothes. Tell him to wait in the side hall first, and then go and summon Zijin to me!"
Dongxue hurriedly accepted the order and withdrew, while Ye Xiaowei also left without lingering and walked directly to the other side.
The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, not strong but delicate and refreshing.
Qiu Mei helped Ye Xiaowei take off the last layer of clothing. Ye Xiaowei walked barefoot into the bathtub, gently lay down, and felt incredibly comfortable being enveloped by the warm water.
The white gauze fluttered gently, dispersing the heat in the room. A gentle breeze caressed my face, like being kissed, tingling and incredibly comfortable.
At times like these, closing your eyes and quietly soaking in a bath is undoubtedly a wonderful thing.
The green bamboo swayed gently in the wind, its leaves rustling softly. Half asleep, she felt a pair of burning eyes staring at her. She suddenly opened her eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of extremely alluring eyes, those upturned phoenix eyes carrying an undisguised smile, sparkling brightly, and sexy red lips curving upwards into an extremely beautiful arc.
"Oh dear, Your Highness, I deserve to die for waking you up."
After recognizing who was in front of her, Ye Xiaowei's eyes, which had suddenly flashed with a cold light, gradually softened and she smiled at Luo Zijin.
"Zijin, are you a feline? How come you walk without making a sound?"
"I was just afraid of waking Your Highness, so I deliberately walked quietly!"
Luo Zijing leaned close to Ye Xiaowei and blew a breath of hot air onto her cheek.
Damn it, seduction, blatant seduction! This devil is openly fawning over her! Fortunately, she has always had good self-control and is not easily bewitched.
"Your Highness, the way you are now, summoning me here, could it be that Your Highness has finally come to your senses and wishes to break free from the constraints of sexuality, allowing me to serve you in bed?"
Ye Xiaowei smiled and reached out to cup Luo Zijin's incredibly handsome face, gently stroking and kneading it with her fingers, taking full advantage of the situation.
Her eyes were bright, and she said in the gentlest and most affectionate tone, "Dream on!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zijing almost collapsed on the spot, her originally charming smile freezing on her face, leaving her in a dilemma.
Luo Zijin twitched the corner of her mouth: "Then what does Your Highness want with me here at this time?"
She took his hand and then placed him behind her: "Give me a massage!"
Luo Zijing's jaw nearly dropped to the floor in shock: "Ah~ a... a massage... Your Highness, aren't you going a bit too far? You stripped me naked, and all you did was give me a massage. You..."
Ye Xiaowei raised an eyebrow: "How am I? Could it be that you've seen my body now? Apart from a face and a pair of shoulders exposed, there seems to be nothing there, right? Or..."
She paused deliberately, her eyes filled with ambiguity and amusement: "Or are you just full of impure thoughts right now, and that's why you're disappointed? Tsk tsk... I didn't expect Luo Jun to be such an open-minded person."
Luo Zijing blushed and retorted, "Who said that! I didn't think that much, I just..."
"What are you doing?"
"I just thought..."
"You thought?" Ye Xiaowei's smile deepened, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of things, while Luo Zijing's face grew increasingly red.
"Alright, Your Highness, I admit I overthought things. I'm no longer pure. Kill me, torture me, or ravage me, bring it on!" Luo Zijin said with an air of righteous indignation, too lazy to argue any further.
☆、032 Referring to something indirectly to criticize it
"Heh...you really are a scoundrel. I've never seen a man act like this before!"
Luo Zijing persisted, her fingers quickly kneading Ye Xiaowei's back as she said:
"Your Highness, I wouldn't do that with just anyone..."
"Oh? You mean it's an honor for me to let you renege on your promise?"
Luo Zijin did not answer, but simply smiled, which was naturally a silent acquiescence.
The two chatted merrily, taking turns to say something, and time passed quickly.
Based on Ye Xiaowei's understanding of Li Muyan, although he usually gives people the impression of being gentle, refined, and courteous, he is an extremely elegant gentleman.
However, she also learned about the true face hidden beneath that mask of pretense.
Given Li Muyan's proud personality, he would certainly not want to be ignored for so long and would inevitably become impatient.
Judging by the time, it's about time to arrive...
She casually hooked her arm around Luo Zijing's and pulled her hard, causing Luo Zijing to fall into the bathtub. The bathtub was quite large, and there was more than enough room for the two of them.
With a splash, Luo Zijing fell rather unceremoniously, her clothes getting soaked and her long silver hair submerged in water, making her look extremely disheveled.
He had tried to get close to her earlier, but she wouldn't allow it. Now that he had just given up on that idea, she suddenly pulled him in. What did she mean by that? Did she think he was easy to bully because he had a good temper?
Just as Luo Zijing was about to lash out, his wrist was pulled, drawing him closer to Ye Xiaowei. Before he could even speak, Ye Xiaowei's lips covered his.
"Eh...Young Master Li, the master is taking a bath, you can't go in..."
With a loud 'bang!', the door was forcefully pushed open from the outside, and Ye Xiaowei couldn't help but smile, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.
Finally couldn't hold back anymore? I gave you a chance but you didn't cherish it. You just kept shamelessly coming here. Well then, I'll indulge your shamelessness and give you a good welcome!
Li Muyan pushed open the door and entered. Through the thin gauze curtain, he could clearly see the unsightly scene of two disheveled people entangled together in the bathtub. His expression immediately changed drastically!
His dark eyes were filled with rage.
Is this all you can't handle? When you and Lao San were secretly plotting against me, did you ever consider my feelings?
When you pushed me to the brink and strangled our child to death in front of me, did you ever consider my feelings?
Now, you can't even stand it? Li Muyan, there's still a long road ahead. Since you want to stay by my side, you have to be prepared to be tormented by me at any time!
Otherwise, how can I vent this hatred in my heart, and how can I avenge my child!
Ye Xiaowei did not stop kissing Luo Zijin because of Li Muyan's sudden intrusion. She seemed completely unaware of his presence and continued to kiss Luo Zijin until they were both a little out of breath before she let go of Luo Zijin.
Luo Zijing was panting heavily, her fair cheeks flushed red, and her clothes were soaked through and clung to his body.
I used to think Luo Zijing was quite thin, but I never imagined that this guy was hiding something. He actually has some muscles, and looking at him like this, he's really sexy!
Ye Xiaowei swallowed hard, thinking to herself that one day, this devil would devour her completely!
"Master...this servant deserves to die..." Qiu Mei, her face filled with terror, knelt down with a thud, tears and snot streaming down her face. Her expression and demeanor were more heartbroken, grief-stricken, and terrified than if her parents had died...
Ye Xiaowei seemed to suddenly notice the person standing at the door. She casually glanced over, and Dongxue quickly grabbed a long robe and covered Ye Xiaowei's body. Ye Xiaowei didn't care that there were two men present, one of whom was squatting next to her.
She showed no sign of panic or shyness, because Li Muyan was originally her husband. In their previous life, they had been naked together more than once or twice, so there was no need for that in front of him.
As for Luo Zijin, he is also her husband, and she will eventually take advantage of him, so there is no need for her to be shy in front of him. Moreover, this is Fengyu, a matriarchal society, where men are more likely to be shy than women, and their reputation is more important.
Therefore, even though Luo Zijin usually acted promiscuously or seemed to want to offer himself to her all the time, he still didn't have the guts to do it in front of so many people.
At this moment, Luo Zijin shrank back, his face flushed, extremely shy, and furious because Ye Xiaowei had suddenly treated him that way. He lowered his head, gritted his teeth inwardly, and didn't dare to lift his head at all. Naturally, he had no intention of looking at the naked Ye Xiaowei.
Dongxue quickly helped Ye Xiaowei put on her clothes, and then hurriedly took a dry towel to wipe her long hair clean. While doing this, Qiumei knelt on the ground and sobbed uncontrollably, while Li Muyan stood at the door with a miserable expression.
Ye Xiaowei ignored the two people at the door and only gave instructions to Dongxue, who was standing to the side.
"Go and tell someone to bring some clean clothes for Luo Jun to change into, so she doesn't catch a cold!"
Dongxue hurriedly accepted the order and had the maid bring in a eunuch to serve Luo Zijing. After doing this, Ye Xiaowei seemed to suddenly remember that there were still two people at the door.
With the maid's help, she sat on a soft couch to the side, reclining and letting the maid comb her freshly washed black hair. She propped her chin up with one hand, glanced at Li Muyan, who had a sour look on his face, and then looked at Qiu Mei, who was still kneeling.
