"You deserve to die!" she said casually, her tone indifferent, but this seemingly casual remark could very well cost someone their life.
Qiu Mei's face turned deathly pale, and she immediately began to kowtow repeatedly on the ground. Ye Xiaowei cursed Qiu Mei inwardly, wondering why she was working so hard when it wasn't like she was really going to die.
But his face still held a calm and serene smile.
"Knowing that I am taking a bath, you still recklessly rushed in. You also know that I dislike being disturbed when I am bathing, yet you still knowingly violated this rule. Don't you think you deserve to die?!"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I deserve to die. Please punish me, Master!"
“You must be punished, but your crime does not warrant death. I said before that you deserve to die, but not now, because if you die, who will serve me?”
After a moment's thought, she said, "How about this, I'll punish you by not having to serve me closely for the next few days. Go outside and sweep up fallen leaves!"
Qiu Mei hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Master, for sparing my life..."
Ye Xiaowei waved her hand: "Step down!"
"Yes, Your servant obeys!" Qiu Mei quickly got up and withdrew, afraid that if she was even a second late, Ye Xiaowei would change her mind again.
Ye Xiaowei's words were clearly a veiled attack, seemingly directed at Qiu Mei, but actually meant for Li Muyan, reminding him to always be mindful of his status and not to act recklessly, lest he anger her and take his life!
☆、033 Main Attack
After Qiu Mei left, she dismissed everyone else in the room, leaving only Li Muyan to be alone with her.
She had just finished bathing, and her whole body exuded a faint fragrance after the bath. Her dark hair was not yet completely dry, and it was casually draped over her back, with water droplets slowly dripping from the ends.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and the steam made her skin appear even more lustrous and smooth, so delicate that one couldn't resist taking a bite.
Because Li Muyan arrived in a bit of a hurry, she didn't have time to put on her clothes properly. She was only given a rough outer robe. Now she was lying there in a reclining position, with her collar wide open, exposing her fair skin.
Her breasts were partially hidden, and her sexy collarbones were fully exposed, making her exceptionally alluring and sparking endless fantasies.
Her lips curled slightly, her face a half-smile, her eyes filled with indescribable tenderness and affection. Any healthy man who could remain completely unmoved after witnessing such a scene would either be a cripple or a gay man.
She reached out and beckoned to Li Muyan with her finger: "Come here!"
Li Muyan was puzzled, not knowing what Ye Xiaowei was up to. Ever since she fell seriously ill that day and woke up, people in the harem had been gossiping that the Crown Princess had completely changed.
Although she still appeared gentle and weak in public, her eyes were much sharper than before. In particular, when punishing her two former maids, Chunlu and Xiayu, her ruthless attitude made everyone below both respect and fear the current Crown Princess.
Many servants in the palace were gossiping privately, wondering if the Crown Princess had been possessed by some evil spirit or if she had lost her mind.
Of course, no one dares to spread such rumors for too long, nor does anyone dare to say them openly, unless they are suicidal.
Li Muyan walked towards Ye Xiaowei step by step, and finally stood in front of her. Ye Xiaowei still had a smile on her face and beckoned to him with her finger.
"A little closer!"
Li Muyan's face flushed slightly. After all, he was still a fledgling, unmarried young man. How could he remain unmoved by such blatant seduction and such a thrilling scene?
He bent down and sat down beside her, leaning closer to her. Ye Xiaowei reached out and hugged his neck, pulling him closer. The distance between them was only a hand's breadth, so close that they could see each other's capillaries.
Li Muyan's heart pounded like a drum, and his face turned even redder. At the same time, his doubts deepened. A surge of heat rushed through his body like a madman, as if it wanted to find a way to release it.
He managed to suppress his overwhelming desires and maintain his composure. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Wei'er, what are you doing?"
Ye Xiaowei scoffed inwardly. What? Isn't that a rhetorical question? Two people who are engaged, alone together in this situation, a man and a woman, consensual, what else could they be doing?
She pretends to be so innocent, but behind her back, she turns around and hangs out with her third sister just the same way.
The scene from her past life in the attic resurfaced in her mind, the arrogant and smug face with which he laughed, an image that lingered in her mind like a brand.
Hatred welled up within Ye Xiaowei, and she truly wanted to take his life right there. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, so fast that Li Muyan couldn't even notice it.
With her brightest smile and gentlest voice, she breathed warm air onto his face.
"You deliberately chose to come see me while I was bathing. I understand your intentions, and I can't refuse your request. How about we begin now?"
After saying that, she brought her lips to hers, but just as she was about to kiss Li Muyan's red lips, Li Muyan pushed her away.
Li Muyan blushed and his heart pounded. If it weren't for his decent self-control and ability to endure, he would probably have been pushed down by Ye Xiaowei by now.
"Wei'er, what's wrong with you? You're completely unlike your usual self... you..."
Ye Xiaowei was pushed away but didn't care at all. Her smile became even more ambiguous. She leaned over again and gently stroked Li Muyan's handsome face with her fingertips.
"Don't be shy. We are already engaged, and our wedding will be held in two years. You are my betrothed. This is something that will have to happen sooner or later, so there's no time like the present. We are both willing, so let's do it today..."
Like a snake, she slowly climbed onto his body, pressing her hands against his chest, making him lie on his back on the soft couch, and then she leaned over him, climbing up to him step by step.
Her eyes were full of affection, her face was as rosy as spring, and she looked extremely alluring. It was already quite remarkable that Li Muyan could hold on until this point.
Ye Xiaowei's body is inhabited by a married woman, while Li Muyan in front of her is a virgin. In comparison, Ye Xiaowei is naturally bolder and more shameless.
Her fingers traced circles on his chest, intentionally teasing him and pushing his remaining rationality to the brink of collapse.
In Fengyu, a man's reputation is more important than his life. If a man from a normal family loses his virginity before marriage, it is absolutely unacceptable.
Even if the two parties are engaged, they can only consummate their marriage on the actual wedding day after the wedding ceremony.
Ye Xiaowei naturally knew these common-sense facts, and what she wanted today was to make Li Muyan lose his virginity and be utterly disgraced.
Anyway, she is a woman, and the crown princess of the country. It's understandable that she might be a little fickle. Moreover, all the palace maids in the Eastern Palace can testify that Li Muyan knew she was taking a bath, yet he still barged in. Isn't that obvious that he offered himself to her?
As a woman, and given that the two were betrothed by the emperor, it would be normal for a woman not to refuse a man's advances.
If Ye Xiaowei and Li Muyan really do something, at most Emperor Mingde will scold them and teach them a lesson, but Li Muyan can forget about marrying into a good family again in this lifetime.
At that time, not only will Li Muyan be criticized, but his cunning and shrewd mother will also be implicated. The glory of the Li family will come to an end.
Li Muyan was breathing rapidly and his body was burning hot. It seemed that his patience had finally run out, but he still used the last bit of reason he had left to try his best to refuse Ye Xiaowei.
He trembled uncontrollably and slowly moved backward.
"No... Vera, don't do this, I..."
You think you can just say no and that's it? I'm not going to listen to you like that!
Ye Xiaowei smiled broadly: "Hey! Don't be afraid, I'll be very gentle. Everyone has a first time, so don't be afraid, relax, and trust me, okay? Mu Yan..."
☆、034 Disturbing a good thing
She parted her red lips slightly, her voice so soft it could melt anyone's heart. Li Muyan felt as soft as cotton, utterly powerless to refuse Ye Xiaowei, letting her get closer and closer.
A fierce fire burned in his eyes, his eye sockets gradually reddened, his breath was hot and scalding, his chest heaved, and his heart was beating extremely fast. Ye Xiaowei knew that Li Muyan had reached his limit of endurance.
He was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, in the prime of his youth, full of vigor and passion. How could he remain unmoved when she so blatantly seduced him?
However, she gritted her teeth inwardly. If it were any other innocent boy, he would probably have already surrendered under her onslaught and let her take advantage of him.
However, Li Muyan was more cunning than the average teenager, so he wasn't so easily subdued, but this was the best that could be done.
Ye Xiaowei sneered inwardly, but her fingertips quickly swept towards his waist, pulling on his belt. Her eyes were filled with tenderness, and she smiled at Li Muyan with an exceptionally alluring charm.
Li Muyan tensed up, his entire body stiffened like a stone, unable to move, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid…
He opened his lips, but only managed to utter one word: "No..."
No? Looking at your flushed face, panting, and seductive eyes, you certainly don't mean it. You say no, but I'll take you anyway!
With a slight exertion of her fingertips, she easily untied the belt binding Li Muyan's waist. With a push of her hand, she sent Li Muyan sprawling onto the soft couch.
She straddled him with a seductive smile, her fingers gently kneading his chest, each stroke striking Li Muyan's heart. Beads of cold sweat appeared on Li Muyan's forehead, whether from enduring too much or from being frightened, he didn't know.
She had left her blue long robe wide open, revealing her white undergarment and her fair, smooth collarbone.
She leaned down, her long, still-damp hair sliding down like silk, intentionally or unintentionally brushing against his cheek, causing an unbearable tickle and stirring up certain emotions within him.
Ye Xiaowei narrowed her eyes, her gaze forming two soft arcs, and breathed hot air onto Li Muyan, who was lying below, his face flushed, breathing rapidly, and his clothes disheveled.
"Don't be nervous, relax, don't be afraid. I'm not going to eat you, hehe..."
She giggled, deliberately lowering her head even further to get closer to him. At the same time, her loosely tied outer robe made her two high breasts appear and disappear in front of Li Muyan, deliberately showing them to him. Li Muyan's blood rushed to his head, and he almost vomited blood and died.
Although she was only fourteen years old, she had a perfect figure with large breasts and small breasts in the right places.
Li Muyan was somewhat embarrassed, somewhat shy, and also somewhat hopeful. His originally dark pupils now shone with a wolf-like brilliance.
Look at his pathetic self. He can't even handle a little trick. It's a pity that she was so infatuated with him before. Despite being the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, she never took any other husbands besides him. Even Yin Jinmo and Luo Zijin were sent out of the palace by her.
She was so devoted, yet all she received in return was his cruel betrayal!
Recalling the past, she was furious. Although she now only hated Li Muyan and had no love for him, if it weren't for revenge, she probably wouldn't even bother to look at him properly and would just drag him out and execute him by slow slicing!
Even being torn to pieces couldn't extinguish the raging fire of anger in her heart, nor could it erase what he had done to her!
But she can't let him die now, because death would be too easy for him, and what she wants is for Li Muyan to suffer a fate worse than death!
The hatred in her heart was like a raging river, endless and capable of drowning Li Muyan, but on her face she smiled gently and charmingly.
She smiled seductively, like a fox full of allure, and slowly moved closer to Li Muyan.
Li Muyan's rationality had long been completely captured by her. At this moment, his eyes were glazed over, his face was flushed, and his red lips were slightly parted as he stared at her, like a flower in full bloom, waiting for someone to come and pick it.
Closer, closer still, she could clearly hear the heart pounding wildly, and she could almost feel the warm, damp breath brushing against her cheek, warm and slightly tingling.
She smiled sweetly on the outside, but inwardly she was sneering. Just as her lips were about to cover Li Muyan's softness, the tightly closed door was forcefully opened from the outside.
A loud 'bang!' interrupted the two people in the room, causing them to turn their heads simultaneously toward the doorway from which the sound had come.
Several people were standing at the door, but the one at the very front, a young girl with her hair full of pearl hairpins and wearing a bright red long gown, was staring at Ye Xiaowei with wide almond eyes, her gaze suggesting she wanted to devour Ye Xiaowei alive.
It turns out to be the eldest princess. In her previous life, this eldest princess was quite lawless because she was older. She always blamed her for taking away her position as crown princess and didn't take her, the crown princess, seriously at all. She made trouble for her openly and secretly. She would snatch anything she liked.
Because she was too naive in the past, unaware of the truth, and deceived by the hypocritical facade of Li Changxi and his daughter, she focused all her attention on the eldest princess, Ye Ziyu.
But now, she certainly wouldn't do that anymore.
In her past life, she thought Ye Ziyu liked Li Muyan, so she was always on guard against the eldest princess and wouldn't let the two meet alone.
