Chapitre 13

"It's you! What are you doing here?!"

Raising an eyebrow, Rongyue retorted sarcastically, "Why wouldn't I be here?"

"How dare you!" Rongyue's disobedience ignited Dongfang Lie's fury, and his sinister cold light sent chills down the spines of those around him.

"I'm bold?" Rongyue raised the corners of her lips in a self-deprecating smile. "Heh, you're wrong. Actually, I'm not that bold." If she were bold, she would have used her flying needle technique the moment he brought Dongfang Yao through the door, shoving his disgusting face to shreds! Let's see how he can continue to do such beastly things while wearing a human skin!

Narrowing his peach blossom eyes, Dongfang Lie scrutinized the composed Rongyue before him with a sharp gaze. This damned woman dared to defy him time and time again! Did she really think he wouldn't do anything to her? Liu Rongyue, I truly don't understand where your confidence comes from, believing I will tolerate your rudeness time and again! Is it because you are my cousin? So you think I will show mercy? Ha, foolish! When your aunt, the Empress Dowager, tried to give you poison that day, you should have understood that there is no kinship in the royal family! Liu Rongyue, if you know what's good for you, don't provoke me again, otherwise, hehe, my anger is probably beyond your ability to withstand!

"Wife...is that you, wife...wife..." Hearing Rongyue's voice, Dongfang Yao, burning with desire, regained a sliver of his senses. His bloodshot eyes flashed with a dazzling light in an instant. Breaking free from Dongfang Lie's grip, Dongfang Yao pounced on Rongyue, who was staring at him in a daze, and hugged her tightly as if he had found a toy he had lost and then regained.

But as soon as he smelled the faint fragrance on Rongyue's body, Dongfang Yao's rationality began to collapse, and his hands began to tear at Rongyue's clothes again, just like before.

Awkwardly pushing the wild Dongfang Yao, Rongyue cast a pleading look at Dongfang Lie. But when she saw his mocking, amused expression, she immediately flew into a rage: "Why don't you come over here and pull your brother away?!"

"Take him away? Are you sure? You've seen Yao's condition; he needs a woman! If you don't help him, do you expect another woman to do it for him?" Dongfang Lie casually pulled out a chair, propped his forehead with one hand, and glanced at the flustered Rong Yue with amusement. Seeing the usually sharp-tongued Rong Yue in such a disheveled state filled him with unprecedented pleasure!

Seeing that Dongfang Yao's assault on her was escalating, and that Dongfang Lie showed no intention of helping, Rongyue's patience was completely exhausted! With one hand forming a knife, Rongyue swiftly slashed at the back of Dongfang Yao's neck. Instantly, the once 'lively' man closed his eyes and collapsed limply to the ground.

Rongyue helped the slumping Dongfang Yao up and struggled to drag him toward Dongfang Lie. To Dongfang Lie's astonishment, she placed Dongfang Yao in his arms.

She pulled her collar tighter, exhaled a breath of stale air, turned around, and strode out of the Drunken Village without looking back.

"Stop!" Dongfang Lie, who had just come to his senses, slammed his hand on the table and shouted at Rongyue's back.

Rongyue ignored him and continued walking forward without pausing until her left wrist was roughly grabbed by Dongfang Lie, who flew over.

How annoying! When will this ever end! She forcefully pried his hands away, raised her head with an annoyed expression, and looked at Dongfang Lie, whose face was covered with frost, with extreme impatience: "Is there anything else you need?"

"You actually dared to knock him unconscious?! Liu Rongyue, who gave you the guts?!"

"You saw it yourself. If we don't knock him out, are we supposed to put on a sex show in public?" Rongyue scoffed, unconcerned.

"You! Then why did you abandon Yaodi and leave?"

"How can you all have fun if I don't leave? Am I right, Your Majesty?"

His fists clenched involuntarily, trembling slightly at his sides from the excessive pressure. He really wanted to crush this provocative woman to death! Closing his eyes for a few seconds, Dongfang Lie calmed the raging storm in his heart. This woman truly had the ability to provoke his anger!

When he opened his eyes again, a strange light flashed in Dongfang Lie's eyes. He quickly picked up the unconscious Dongfang Yao, pinched his philtrum to wake him up, and then said to the bewildered Dongfang Yao with a cunning smile, "Brother Yao, wake up, your wife is leaving!"

"Wife...wife..." Dongfang Yao looked around in a daze, and when he saw Rongyue not far away, he excitedly waved and shouted to Rongyue, "Wife! Wife!"

"Hurry up and go! If you don't go, your wife might leave you!" Dongfang Lie whispered in his ear, constantly urging him on. Dongfang Yao panicked upon hearing this and hurriedly got up, trying to run towards Rongyue. However, because he had just woken up, his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground, staring longingly at Rongyue standing not far away.

That expression made Rongyue feel unbearable. She turned around with difficulty, gritted her teeth, and rushed towards the door without stopping.

"Wife! Wife!! Wife, wait for me! Wife, don't abandon me—" Truly believing Rongyue had abandoned him, Dongfang Yao cried out behind him, choking back sobs. He hurriedly got up and scrambled to his feet, chasing after Rongyue. But just as he was about to reach her, his legs still felt weak, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. Dongfang Yao reacted quickly, grabbing Rongyue's ankle tightly in the instant she fell.

"Wife—" Rongyue turned her head helplessly and saw Dongfang Yao with tears in her eyes, looking at her with pleading eyes. Her heart clenched at the sight.

With a sigh of resignation, Rongyue bent down and gently and tenderly wiped away the tears on Dongfang Yao's face. Dongfang Yao, fearing that Rongyue would leave, stared at her without blinking, letting her wipe his face clean, gently help him up, and brush the dust off his body.

He helped Dongfang Yao walk toward Dongfang Lie, whose gaze was obscure and unclear.

Walking in front of him, Rongyue paused for a moment: "You win." Then she found the madam, and with the madam's help, she helped Dongfang Yao upstairs and into a clean, elegant room.

After closing the door, she removed Dongfang Yao's clothes and told him to get into bed and wait.

“Wife…” Dongfang Yao still held Rongyue’s hand tightly, afraid that she would leave him again.

"Be good, let go, I won't leave."

Seeing that Rongyue really had no intention of leaving him, Dongfang Yao reluctantly let go, but his eyes never left Rongyue's figure.

After taking off her clothes, Rongyue lowered the pink gauze curtains and got into bed herself. She heard heavy breathing again; Rongyue knew the drug in Dongfang Yao's body was about to take effect.

She gently pressed her lips to his, tenderly entwining with his innocent and naive heart; she gently took his hand, leading him step by step towards the surging tide of desire...

Dongfang Yao, this is her way of making amends to him before she leaves...

Volume One: Pear Blossom Courtyard Under the Melting Moon, Chapter Twenty: Memories Enter Dreams

The inner palace, nestled within its boudoir, only gradually returned to silence after a low, almost pleasurable growl. By then, the eastern sky was already tinged with a pale, fish-belly-like light. Rising and donning his outer robe, Dongfang Lie glanced at Liu Ruxu, who had already fainted from exhaustion, his expression complex.

He didn't know what possessed him. The moment he watched Liu Rongyue and Dongfang Yao enter the room, he felt a strange oppression and inexplicable anger! Several times, he almost impulsively flew upstairs, kicked open the door, and dragged out the two people making love inside! He thought he must be crazy, otherwise, how could he have such a mad idea? To suppress the agitation in his heart, he returned to the palace early, woke Liu Ruxu from her deep sleep, and, ignoring her cries, almost wildly took her all night. He had always been someone who couldn't show his emotions; he had learned to control his feelings from a very young age. He really couldn't understand why he had lost control like this tonight…

The constant strange looks they received along the way made Rongyue's scalp tingle. This feeling of being the center of attention made them feel like monkeys who had escaped from a zoo! She gave Dongfang Yao, who was hanging around her neck with a sweet smile, a hard push, but to no avail. Rongyue gritted her teeth in frustration: "You better walk normally!"

"No, please, wife—" The soft, sweet voice made Rongyue's bones go weak. Her legs trembled, she staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

The instigator, however, was completely unaware, leaning against Rongyue's fragrant shoulder like a boneless person, still looking intoxicated, his lips stretched to the back of his head, revealing two rows of bright white teeth.

"Don't push me, honey... I'm tired, let me lean on you for a while..." Dongfang Yao shook Rongyue's neck and muttered softly, trying to avoid Rongyue's pushing hand.

"You're tired?!" Rong Yue's face twitched violently, her eyes wide with anger, glaring at Dongfang Yao who was looking at her with a pitiful expression. All night long, he had been like a machine on steroids, tirelessly taking her again and again, until she was so exhausted she couldn't even lift a finger. And he seemed to have gotten a taste of it all; this morning, the moment he opened his eyes, he couldn't wait to mount her again, beginning a new round of conquest. If she hadn't timely acupunctured him, she probably would have been devoured, leaving not even bones! And he had the audacity to say he was tired?!

Perhaps unable to bear Rongyue's accusing gaze, Dongfang Yao lowered her head guiltily and buried her face in Rongyue's shoulder.

After passing through Zhuque Street and turning into Tianmen Alley, the gate of the Prince's Mansion finally came into view.

"Your Highness, Your Highness? Your Highness?!" Liu Fu's eyes widened in astonishment as he saw Rongyue, who should have been in the palace, enter from outside dressed as a man, with the smiling prince on her back.

"Give the order to boil some hot water and bring it to my room. Also, tell the servants to keep their mouths shut!" With a curt command, ignoring Liu Fu's probing gaze, Rongyue strode towards the bedroom with a grinning Dongfang Yao…

The bedroom was filled with steam and the sound of rushing water could be heard from time to time. Behind a carved ironwood screen about two meters high, there was a large bathtub that could hold four or five people. The tub was already filled with water, and white pear blossom petals floated on the surface. The delicate fragrance made people feel refreshed.

Comfortably sprawled on the edge of the bathtub, letting Dongfang Yao massage her aching shoulders and back from behind, Rongyue half-closed her eyes and occasionally let out a satisfied sigh.
