"Cong, isn't it a bad idea to spy on others? Besides, won't he see us?"
"Um, if you don't like it, then don't watch it." Nan Xuzong felt a little embarrassed when he heard her say that.
"Let's have our meal in peace!" Ji Wushang closed the window. He didn't want to pay any attention to Yiyun Shangcheng; he was perfectly happy with his life now.
Nan Xuzong hummed in agreement and sat down with her at the square table for their meal.
"This is good, you should try it." Ji Wushang smiled and placed the lion's head meatball in his bowl. "This is also quite good, you should try it and see how it tastes." Ji Wushang then picked up another piece of meat for him.
Nan Xuzong smiled and said, "Okay."
Yiyun Shangcheng took the last sip of wine, but couldn't sense any trace of their presence. Had she just imagined it? She clearly saw Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong, so why couldn't she smell their scent at all?
Opening the door, Yi Yun Shangcheng looked outside. Her sinister purple eyes stared at the people outside for a long time. She exuded a chilling aura, yet she still couldn't sense their presence.
At this moment, the waiter came over with a dish of food. Seeing Yi Yun Shangcheng approaching, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, would you like anything?" "Nothing," Yi Yun Shangcheng replied coldly, then went out the door.
As she walked downstairs, her purple eyes drew everyone's attention. Yi Yun Shangcheng glared at them with a cold expression, and they immediately scurried away.
Just as she was about to walk out, two people walked towards her. It was Huangfu Lan and Huangfu Ting. Huangfu Lan was dressed in a light-colored printed silk robe, with jade earrings, her hair styled in a cloud-like bun, adorned with a carved phoenix white jade silver hairpin, and embroidered shoes. Her fingers were slender and her lips were slightly red. In a daze, she seemed to have a charming demeanor.
Huangfu Ting, dressed like a noble young master, held a folding fan, had a refined and elegant face, and wore a jade crown. Upon seeing Yiyun Shangcheng, the two immediately stepped forward and said, "We never expected to see the King of the Western Regions here! Our apologies for our overconfidence!"
Huangfu Lan looked somewhat surprised as she gazed at Yiyun Shangcheng and said, "Greetings, King of the Western Regions."
Yi Yunshangcheng said in an icy tone, "Second Prince, Seventh Princess, hello."
"Why don't we go inside and have a seat?" Huangfu Ting said. "There are elegant seats inside, and fine wines and spirits. I wonder if the King of the Western Regions would do me the honor?"
It's not impossible to refuse, but Yiyun Shangcheng really wants to see Ji Wushang. I don't believe they've flown away. What are they planning to do here?
“Alright then.” Yiyun Shangcheng nodded.
Those around them watched the three of them go upstairs together, speechless with surprise. So it was the King of the Western Regions, the Second Prince, and the Seventh Princess! It seems this September Pavilion truly harbors hidden talents; we just saw the Prince of the South and his wife, and now these people are here too! This September Pavilion is really something!
Huangfu Ting and the other two returned to the room in Yiyun Upper City.
Looking at the wine he had just drunk, Huangfu Ting laughed and said, "So the King of the Western Regions had already drunk wine here before."
"Just a few drinks, that's all," Yiyun said with a smile.
Huangfu Lan glanced at Huangfu Ting and told him that Yiyun Shangcheng was treating him like he was invisible, so how could he make a move against him?
At this moment, Yi Yun Shangcheng glanced at Huangfu Lan with her purple eyes. If this princess continued to cling to Huangfu Ting, Bei Gong Jue Shi would find it difficult to make a move. No wonder he hadn't killed her yet!
However, this time, should I take action myself? No, with Huangfu Ting here, it's not easy for me to do anything. Besides, if I kill her and it gets discovered, I'll become an enemy of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty.
Let Beigong Jueshi do this kind of thing!
Huangfu Ting said, "Now that we, brother and sister, are here, since the King of the Western Regions enjoys drinking, let's drink until we're completely drunk!"
"Heh!" Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered, "Tomorrow is Mu Chen's wedding, I, the King, must not get drunk!"
"I don't think the King of the Western Regions will get drunk. Men, bring out the best wine and food!" Huangfu Ting shouted to the waiter outside.
Yi Yun Shangcheng thought with disdain, "Let's see what you're planning to do. Are you even thinking of forcing Huangfu Lan onto yourselves? To be by the emperor's side is to either die or be seriously injured!"
If she dies, she deserves it!
Huangfu Lan smiled charmingly, "I've heard that there are many strange and wonderful people in the Western Regions. I wonder if the King of the Western Regions would do us the honor of telling us two siblings some interesting stories?"
"Interesting stories? There are indeed some. I am your friend, so please tell me." The King of the Western Regions became interested and told them about some of the customs of the Western Regions. The two listened, their scalps tingling, as they already knew about these customs...
"I never imagined that the people of the Western Regions would be so frugal. It is truly astonishing and makes us, the people of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty, feel inferior. The King of the Western Regions is a beloved and good ruler! I admire him greatly!" Huangfu Lan praised. "Come, let me toast the King of the Western Regions!" As she spoke, she picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Yiyun Shangcheng.
Yiyun Shangcheng nodded slightly, "Seventh Princess, you're too kind, hehe!" Her smile was forced, but no one knew the sinister glint in her eyes!
Huangfu Ting laughed, "Seventh Princess has traveled to many places and seen a lot of places, but she has never been to the Western Regions. Now that she hears the King of the Western Regions talking about the Western Regions, she is naturally surprised, amazed and delighted."
Yi Yun Shangcheng remained silent, tacitly agreeing with his words. Huangfu Lan had already filled both her and Huangfu Ting's glasses with wine, and then she raised her glass, "Come on, bottoms up."
"King of the Western Regions!" Huangfu Ting said, raising the wine cup in his hand.
Yiyun Shangcheng smiled and raised her glass.
Huangfu Lan looked at Yiyun Shangcheng. Based on her previous guesses and her observations of Yiyun Shangcheng in the Imperial Garden, and relying on a woman's intuition, Huangfu Lan guessed that Yiyun Shangcheng's tastes were probably similar to Ji Wushang's, and that he probably had some affection for Ji Wushang... It was just a pity that Ji Wushang was already married! So, she had specially dressed up like a well-bred young lady like Ji Wushang, but why hadn't he glanced at her? She wondered if her actions just now were similar to those of a woman like Ji Wushang.
Let's leave that for now.
Huangfu Lan smiled at Yi Yun Shangcheng, then tilted her head back and drank, indicating that she would drink first as a sign of respect. Huangfu Ting also finished his drink. Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled and gulped down his wine.
At this moment, the waiter brought in some snacks from outside, placed them on the table one by one, and then left.
Yiyun Shangcheng said, "The pastries at Jiuyuelou are really good. They make you want to come back for more." As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and gestured to the two of them.
Huangfu Lan and Huangfu Ting smiled, and Huangfu Ting said, "That's right."
"Let's have a meal," Yiyun said, picking up a piece of pastry and putting it in her mouth.
Huangfu Lan tried her best to recall Ji Wushang's eating habits and made sure she ate her snacks in a similar way.
Yi Yun looked up from the city and saw that Huangfu Lan's movements were exactly the same as Ji Wushang's. Her figure, clothes and hair ornaments made her think for a moment that Ji Wushang was sitting across from her having a meal.
Huangfu Ting noticed him and caught a glimpse of his momentary lapse in concentration, which immediately filled him with joy.
There's hope!
Huangfu Lan poured the wine into Yiyun Shangcheng's cup, "Your Majesty, you should drink more."
"Okay." Yi Yun came back to her senses, her face cold and tense. She turned her palm over and placed a Gu worm in her palm. In an instant, the Gu worm had burrowed into her palm and disappeared.
Huangfu Ting smiled and filled his own glass to the brim.
The three of them drank together again.
Yi Yun Shangcheng seemed somewhat dazed. Looking at the two of them, he said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be returning now!" He tried to stand up, but Huangfu Lan rushed forward to support him, saying, "Your Majesty, you're drunk!"
"I, the King, am never drunk." Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled wickedly, causing Huangfu Lan to freeze in shock. He had never seen him smile so captivatingly! That expression was truly mesmerizing!
Huangfu Ting looked at the two of them and smiled. "Seventh Princess, please take care of the King of the Western Regions. This wine is getting cold. I'll go heat it up and get some good food while I'm at it." With that, he went out and closed the door behind him.
Huangfu Lan supported Yiyun's arm as she went up to the city. "Your Majesty, how are you?"
"It's alright." His tone was slightly cold, but it carried a lot of drunkenness.
The wine originally contained lotus flower intoxication, which is the most potent aphrodisiac. How could one not get drunk after drinking it? Huangfu Lan helped him into the inner room.
Yiyun Shangcheng's lips curled into a slight smile. "Who are you?"
"I am Ji Wushang," Huangfu Lan said with a charming smile.
Yiyun Shangcheng was stunned, not by being drunk, nor by the gentle spring breeze, but by hearing one sentence: I am Ji Wushang...
How ridiculous! Why would I play such a joke on myself? Why isn't the Gu worm working?! Damn it, how strong is the wine that woman made me drink?!
Even the strongest self-control and the most potent Gu worms are no match for the powerful Lotus Flower Intoxication.
Yi Yun Shangcheng was pulled onto the bed by her. Instantly, Yi Yun Shangcheng was already lying on the bed. Huangfu Lan's eyes shot out a cold light, "You really like Ji Wushang? I don't understand, what's so good about her that makes all of you men like her!"
Yi Yun Shangcheng lay on the bed, unaware of what she was saying. Her eyes were blurry with drunkenness, and she felt as if the woman in front of her was Ji Wushang... Wushang, is it really you?
"Wu Shang?" Yi Yun Shangcheng couldn't help but exclaim.
Huangfu Lan looked at Yiyun Shangcheng with a cold expression. She disliked that the man she liked was calling out another woman's name!
This feeling is really unpleasant!
But I must endure it!
"You're drunk, get some rest!" Huangfu Lan stepped forward and placed his legs on hers. She knew how to use these tricks; with someone like Yiyun Shangcheng, the best approach was to play hard to get!
"I'm not drunk!" Yi Yun Shangcheng suddenly shouted, pulling Huangfu Lan into his arms and fiercely kissing her with his thin lips!
☆、188 Slightly jealous (exquisite!)
At this moment, Yiyun Shangcheng was kissing the person beneath him like a madman. He knew what he was doing, but as long as he touched the woman's body, his whole body would get hot!
With bloodshot eyes, Yi Yun Shangcheng grabbed the woman's chin, forcing her to look at him. Huangfu Lan was startled! She could clearly see that Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes were completely red, with no pupils visible at all!
Completely stunned, Huangfu Lan thought of calling out, but Yi Yun Shangcheng had already torn her clothes open. His movements were rough, and his palm seemed to carry a fiery heat, making Huangfu Lan feel as if she were in a ball of fire! That ball of fire was burning her skin, making Huangfu Lan tremble.
Yiyun Shangcheng buried his face in her chest, like a wild beast gnawing at her skin. She was utterly terrified; Yiyun Shangcheng brought her not pleasure, not joy, but profound fear! This man was like a demon, leaving redness and swelling wherever he touched! But this feeling wasn't stimulation; it was like the agony of impending death!
Huangfu Lan was frightened. She shouldn't have provoked this man. She thought he was gentle because he looked so refined. She knew he was skilled in martial arts and was a great hero. But she never expected that this was him, such a ferocious man!
Huangfu Lan pushed him away forcefully, "Let go, let go of me, Yiyun Shangcheng! King of the Western Regions!"
"Hmm?" Yi Yun Shangcheng regained some of her composure, her eyes blazing as she stared at the woman in front of her, but deep down she was filled with boundless rage!
When he saw who it was, and saw that her clothes were half open and that his handiwork was on her collarbone, Yi Yun Shangcheng grabbed her neck with his large hand and demanded, "What drug did you give me?"
"Ah!" Huangfu Lan was suddenly surprised. How could he have woken up!
"Waaah, let go... let go... me!" Huangfu Lan struggled desperately to break free from his hold, but his arms were made of steel, how could she possibly pry them open!
Yi Yun Shangcheng felt a tearing sensation in his head, and instantly, his mind cleared completely! Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered at the woman before him, "You actually dared to imitate Ji Wushang's attire and movements to seduce me, the King? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a little princess! If I wish, I can kill you at any time!"
"I, I... Ugh... Please... Please let me go!" Huangfu Lan tried desperately to break free, tears streaming down her face from fear.
Yiyun Shangcheng looked at her with a bloodthirsty sneer, "Aren't you too late to be afraid now?"
"Please, please!" Huangfu Lan looked at him, her eyes blurred with tears.
Suddenly, Yiyun Shangcheng let go of her hand and threw her onto the bed. He was already standing by the bed, looking down at her as if she were a toy. His eyes were sinister, as if he wanted to torture her to death or skin her alive!
"Cough, cough!" Huangfu Lan coughed a few times before catching her breath. "You, you can't kill me. I am the seventh princess of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty. If you kill me, it will definitely cause war between the two countries. Your foundation is not yet stable. You shouldn't want to provoke a war between the two countries, right?"
"Hmph, war between the two nations is inevitable, killing you is just one of the pretexts! Since you're so eager to die, how could I refuse?" Yiyun Shangcheng sneered, "Tell me, who gave you permission to do this?"
"It's me, I like you!" Huangfu Lan had recovered by now. She looked up at him, her clothes not yet properly pulled up, her naked eyes filled with a seductive gaze. "I like you very much! I want to be your concubine, but I'm afraid you'll reject me, so I had no choice but to come up with this plan."
Hearing this reason, Yi Yun Shangcheng was taken aback, but in an instant, she sneered, "Was it Huangfu Ting who made you do this? Or was it Empress Yao? Or Emperor Zhou?"
"It wasn't them, I truly love you. However, when I investigated you, I discovered that you love Ji Wushang. So, I had no choice but to dress myself up in a style similar to Ji Wushang's. I was afraid you wouldn't like me, so I... I had to devise a plan to make you drink the Lotus Flower Wine. I truly love you, will you marry me? I'll go talk to Father Emperor right away, okay?" Huangfu Lan was basically lying on the bed looking up at him.
Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes were cold, his crimson pupils making it impossible to discern his true emotions. His thin lips moved slightly as he pressed her pressure points from a distance. "Do you like me, the King?" he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, his imperial aura fully revealed.
"Yes." Huangfu Lan gritted her teeth. If she didn't do as he said, she'd probably be dead! She could only take it one step at a time!
"Very good." Yi Yun Shangcheng took out a small bottle from his bosom, opened it, and immediately poured out a Gu worm, which slowly crawled in his hand!
Huangfu Lan was instantly terrified. Regaining her senses, she immediately backed away, shouting, "What, what are you trying to do! Don't, don't come any closer, don't come any closer!"
"Didn't you say you liked me? What, you're not even willing to do anything for me?" Yi Yun Shangcheng took a step forward and sat down on the edge of the bed, pulling the woman to his side and pinching her chin with his large hand. "Do you know why I suddenly woke up? Do you know what counteracted the effects of your Lotus Flower Intoxication?"
