Le charme d'une femme puissante se répand à travers le monde

Chapitre 14

Two maids stumbled in, coming into my view. Ugh, I don't recognize either of them. A sense of panic washed over me. I looked around more closely; I didn't recognize this room either. Oh no! Have I been transported to another world? God, Jesus, Mary, I finally managed to get to know people in one place, build some financial foundation and connections, and my career was starting to get on track. My happy days were just beginning, and you've transferred me to another place! Even if I were a savior, I couldn't withstand this kind of torment!

"My lord, my lord is awake!" Two maids stumbled out again. A moment later, a white figure flew in and immediately sat on the edge of the large bed beneath me.

"Big brother, big brother, is it really you? You're so loyal, following me to this godforsaken place, 5555!" Upon seeing that it was Dragon Fox, I couldn't control myself. I jumped up and threw myself into Dragon Fox's arms, bursting into tears. I didn't think too much about why I was like this; I just suddenly realized I was in a completely unfamiliar place, and then I saw a familiar face. My heart ached with a mixture of sadness and warmth, and my mind completely lost the ability to think.

The fox dragon pulled me into his arms and gently patted my back. Nestled in his warm embrace, enveloped by his warm masculine scent and the faint fragrance of ambergris, coupled with his gentle patting, my emotions gradually calmed down—cough cough, actually, the truth is I was crying so hard, so intensely, so passionately, that I was sobbing uncontrollably, and to make matters worse, the fox dragon had my head buried in his arms. I almost cried myself to death, and immediately realized that if this continued, I'd probably die here. So I could only try to make myself cry quieter and quieter, warning myself that I had to escape the fox dragon's clutches as soon as possible.

I looked up, sobbing, trying to hide my embarrassment. I was about to make small talk by asking how the dragon fox and I had ended up here, and where this place was. But as soon as I lifted my head from his embrace, the dragon fox lowered his face and gently placed his lips on the corner of my eye. My body froze instantly, my vision blurred, my heart pounded wildly, my face burned uncontrollably, and my mind went blank. I could only let the dragon fox kiss away my tears, one by one.

It took me a while to come to my senses. I blushed as I watched the dragon fox touch my forehead and then my face. I saw the deep concern and tenderness in his eyes, and the warm and relieved smile on his face. I heard him say softly, "It's okay, it's okay. You're just a little afraid of blood."

Fainting at the sight of blood? Fainting at the sight of blood? My senses gradually returned. An assassin? Fainting at the sight of blood?

"Big brother, where is this?" I asked timidly. I was stunned. Had I not transmigrated? Was I still in the Dragon Radiance Kingdom?

"This is my palace. You suddenly fainted, so I had the imperial physician examine you. Fortunately, it was just fainting from blood. You'll be fine after a rest." The dragon fox's eyes were dark and bright, and the gentleness in them seemed to melt people into water, making them unconsciously fall into their embrace.

No, no, Lin Qianqian, what time is it now? You can't just be obsessed with good looks; there are more important things to do. Calm down, calm down, sort this out first: I fainted, and instead of taking me back to the Yun residence, why did Dragon Fox bring me to his palace? This is ridiculous! Has he lost his mind because of that assassin? Wait, I'm supposed to be Prime Minister Yun Feng now, a dignified and passionate man, his right-hand man in court, a respected superior by the ministers, and an idol worshipped by the people… But even if I'm great, outstanding, and radiant, according to the rules, I still can't enter the Emperor's palace, much less lie down on that thing that looks like a dragon bed without any explanation! And what did Dragon Fox just do to me? He… he just kissed me.

Thinking of this, I jumped off the bed with a "whoosh," pointed at the dragon fox, and stammered, "You...you...you just kissed me? Big...Big Brother...so you have...homosexual tendencies!"

No wonder he's in his mid-twenties and has been on the throne for over a year, yet he hasn't married an empress or taken any concubines. The entire palace has no female master. Turns out he's gay! Oh my god, such a handsome man is gay! Then all the female compatriots have no chance!

"What did you say?" Upon hearing my words, the dragon fox jumped up from the edge of the bed with a "whoosh," his face turning bright red.

Oh no, I forgot this is the palace. You and I are only allowed outside the palace. Once inside, he always refers to himself as "I" or "the Emperor," and I must also address myself as "Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am a man, and Your Majesty is also a man. We... we cannot kiss." I saw him stand up as well, and I quickly took several steps back.

"Yun Qianzui!" The dragon fox pronounced my name heavily, his handsome face turning from red to green, then back to red. Suddenly, he flicked his sleeve and strode out.

I collapsed to the ground, letting out a long sigh. What to do? The dragon fox is gay!

Cut sleeve

I hadn't been sitting for long when I heard footsteps again. Could it be that the dragon fox had returned? I jumped up from the ground, on high alert, but when I looked up, I saw Mu Qinglin entering.

Huh? Erlinzi is here too? He actually walked into the dragon and fox's palace so openly?

Oh, right, I remember now. Isn't Dragon Fox gay? Judging from how inseparable Mu Qinglin and Dragon Fox are, and Dragon Fox's special attitude towards Mu Qinglin, Mu Qinglin must be Dragon Fox's lover. These two have been childhood sweethearts, so it's normal for them to have feelings for each other. No wonder Mu Qinglin is always clinging to Dragon Fox, and Dragon Fox has never treated Mu Qinglin like a subject. Ah, I see.

My mind was racing. I glanced at Erlinzi, whose face was full of regret and disappointment: "Sigh, such outstanding men, neither of them gets a chance with any women. What a pity!" But what was that expression on Erlinzi's face? Why was he looking at me like I was a monster? Why were his eyes so wide? And shaking his head? Still incredulous? Right, did he see Longhuli kissing me from behind the door? Does he think I shamelessly seduced his beloved Longhuli? No, no, this misunderstanding can't happen. Damaging brotherly affection is a small matter, but affecting lovers' relationships is a big deal. I have to clarify things with him immediately.

"Um... Second Brother, there's really nothing between me and Eldest Brother." I carefully observed the expression on Mu Qinglin's face and continued cautiously and sincerely, "Eldest Brother might have been confused for a moment and mistook me for you. Don't worry, nothing has changed. Eldest Brother is still the eldest brother who loves you the most. After so many years of your relationship, he even refrained from marrying or taking concubines for you. He won't change his mind so easily."

"Me and my elder brother? Marry and take concubines? Third brother, what are you talking about?" Erlinzi looked completely bewildered.

Still pretending, still pretending. Although I know you'll be embarrassed if people find out about this, we're brothers, so it doesn't matter if I find out. Maybe I can even cover for you guys when you go on private dates in the future.

"Hehe, stop pretending. I already know that you and Big Brother are both gay. You two are lovers, it's okay. We're brothers, I would never discriminate against you because of this, and I would never tell anyone about your relationship." I said with a grin, trying to make the atmosphere light and cheerful. After saying that, I patted Erlinzi's shoulder generously. Although his shoulder was a bit high, I still managed to pat him.

"Yun Qianzui!" It took Mu Qinglin a while to come to his senses. He gritted his teeth and roared at me, then flung his sleeves and ran out as well.

Honestly, these two people react so similarly; they really are lovers.

Over the next few days, whenever I ran into Longhu and Erlinzi, I gave them a knowing and knowing look. They seemed a little amused and exasperated when they saw me, but they didn't clarify anything, as they seemed very busy. I figured they were probably investigating the assassin.

Regarding the assassination attempt, I only realized its seriousness after Erlinzi explained it in detail. Since the late emperor only had two sons, and the second prince disappeared a year ago, Long Xiangyu was the only remaining member of the Long royal family in Longyao Kingdom. If something happened to Long Xiangyu, there were two possibilities for Longyao Kingdom: one was internal strife, since there was no longer a Long royal bloodline, the emperor would be determined by who had the most ability, or worse, the kingdom might be annexed by a neighboring country; the second possibility was that the second prince would suddenly appear. Given his status as a member of the Long family, and the precedent of all emperors in Longyao Kingdom being members of the Long family, inheriting the throne would be the popular choice. My intuition told me the second possibility was more likely. Because in the first scenario, whoever held military power would undoubtedly have the greatest chance of becoming emperor, and currently, the person with the most military power in Longyao Kingdom was Mu Qinglin and his entire Mu family. Would Mu Qinglin really kill his beloved and leave himself to live a lonely life? Absolutely not!

By the way, Erlinzi told me that those four unmasked men in black were Longhu's hidden guards, or to put it simply, his secret guards. They're usually nowhere to be seen, but they appear in a flash when Longhu is in danger. I'm so envious of guards like that! I kept pestering Mu Qinglin to ask if his family had any guards like that, and if he could give me a couple. He just looked at me, blushing, and didn't say a word for a long time. Sigh, ever since I found out about his ambiguous relationship with Longhu, this kid blushes all the time when he sees me. He's practically in his mid-twenties, but I didn't expect him to be so thin-skinned. Longhu, on the other hand, is much calmer when he sees me, and doesn't blush at all.

Meanwhile, the top ten candidates in each prefectural examination have been determined, and the first batch of "college entrance examination" students of Longyao Kingdom have embarked on their journey to the capital for the examination. I secretly resolved that I must not allow these students, and the future pillars of the nation, to become products of exam-oriented education. Bookworms—what an appalling term! When preparing the questions for the provincial and prefectural examinations, I almost dismantled my entire study in order to find some historical, literary, and legal questions about Longyao Kingdom. This time, the provincial examination must not be a matter of simply reciting from the textbook.

After finishing the morning court session that day, I noticed that Mu Qinglin was acting suspiciously and lingered in the Qianqing Hall. Unable to contain my curiosity, I told Gu Wenxiu and Han Xuanqi to go to the Political Affairs Hall later that day so they could discuss their work first, and then I headed straight for the Qianqing Hall.

Lately, I've been getting bolder and bolder. I don't know if it's because I'm emboldened by knowing about the ambiguous relationship between Longhu and Mu Qinglin, or because I think the bond between the three of us brothers is unbreakable. I absolutely refuse to believe that Mu Qinglin would hurt me. When we're all alone, Longhu and I no longer adhere to the formalities between ruler and subject. We speak and act very casually. Anyway, from the beginning, I've never taken the emperor too seriously.

Peeking furtively through the crack in the door, oh dear, there were those two grown men, Dragon Fox and Er Linzi, whispering sweet nothings to each other, practically glued together. Damn it, why did they have to do this in the sacred and solemn Qianqing Hall? If they're doing something so intimate here, how am I supposed to stand here and respectfully report to Dragon Fox and express my political views later? Just thinking about it made me feel incredibly dignified and noble, while Dragon Fox and Er Linzi were clearly too shameful. Dragon Fox has so many harems and courtyards, aren't they? Give Er Linzi a place facing east, south, west, or north, let them develop their relationship wherever they want, but absolutely, positively, not in such a sacred place as the Qianqing Hall or the Hall of State Affairs.

My hand had barely touched the door of the Qianqing Hall, and I was just about to push it open forcefully when the door suddenly opened from the inside. A figure in dark blue flashed by, and I was immediately grabbed by the neck.

It hurts, I can't breathe. I was about to struggle when the support behind me suddenly disappeared. I lost my balance and almost fell to the ground. Just before my bottom hit the ground, a pair of hands gently caught me from behind, and I fell into someone's arms. I looked up to see if the person who had been choking me was that damned Erlinzi, but then a yellow figure flashed before my eyes, and I was pulled into another person's arms.

Damn it, what's going on? One minute I'm being choked, the next I'm being pulled around like this. I'm furious. I quickly slapped away the fox's arm that was around my waist, and my glare at the fox turned into a pitiful look after seeing its livid face. I turned to look at Erlinzi, and saw him staring blankly at me and the embrace behind me, his face slightly flushed, a hint of hurt flashing in his eyes before he quickly regained his composure and turned to close the door of the Qianqing Hall.

Oh no, Mu Qinglin might be heartbroken because he thinks I stole his beloved. Um, it was your dragon fox who pulled me over there, not me who wanted to run into the arms of Erlinzi. 5555, what should I do? I need to comfort Erlinzi quickly, I don't want to see him looking hurt.

"Second Brother, I didn't mean to disturb your good time. I was just curious and wanted to ask how the investigation into the assassin was going. I really didn't mean to disturb you." I ran up to Mu Qinglin, stood on tiptoe, pulled him close to his ear, and whispered.

Before I could finish speaking, Dragon Fox pulled me away again. "Hey, I only whispered a few words to Erlinzi, Fox, you're really being petty. Alright, alright, I'll just stay away from your Erlinzi brother from now on, and keep a two-meter distance when I talk to him."

My words had a noticeable effect. The hurt expression in Erlinzi's eyes was gone; instead, she looked at me with a strange gaze, her face growing even redder. I think that look should be described as gratitude and emotion.

"You're not allowed to sneak around like that anymore." The dragon fox's expression and voice were unusually serious.

Seeing that Longhu's face was still somewhat ashen, I suddenly felt extremely wronged. I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, and I didn't hear anything. Fox, are you afraid that I'll hear something I shouldn't, or is there something between you and Erlinzi that you don't want me to know?

“That’s dangerous. If Qinglin hadn’t come at us as a person, but instead had thrown a knife, do you think you’d still be standing here? If you have any questions in the future, just ask them directly.” The fox’s expression returned to the gentle one it had when we were alone, and it even sighed after speaking.

Well, what Ge said makes a lot of sense. If they were really discussing something secret or having an affair inside, and suddenly realized someone was eavesdropping, given Erlinzi's skills, he could very well throw a knife and kill me. Wait, no, Erlinzi goes to court, would he carry a throwing knife with him? Never mind, so that sullen face of the fox was because he was worried about me. I immediately forgave his rude pulling and tugging, and my mood improved considerably.

"Has the matter of that assassin been investigated?" You said it yourself, just ask whatever you want to ask.
