Emperor Jing Li’s face turned grim and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Liao Qing Qing hurriedly averted her gaze and said, “This imperial concubine[1] isn’t looking at anything.”
“You’re lying.”
“….”
“You are disdaining me.”[2]
“??? This imperial concubine doesn’t dare to.”
“I can tell that you dare to.”
“This imperial concubine doesn’t dare.”
“You dare.”
After saying that, Emperor Jing Li abruptly got up and walked towards the hall with big steps.
???
He is angry because of this?
He has such a strange temper!
Just now, he was a stable Emperor who understood people’s hearts.
How can he get angry when he said he wasn’t angry?
Don’t be so capricious!
Liao Qing Qing had no choice but to hastily get up.
She quickly chased after Emperor Jing Li.
Who knew that Emperor Jing Li went into the bathroom.
She stayed outside the bathroom and waited.
Not long after, Emperor Jing Li came out from the bathroom. Without even looking at Liao Qing Qing, he went straight into the bedroom and sat down on the bed.
Liao Qing Qing followed suit.
Emperor Jing Li glanced at Liao Qing Qing.
Liao Qing Qing put on a friendly smile.
Emperor Jing Li inched to the side away from Liao Qing Qing.
Seeing this, Liao Qing Qing moved and got closer to Emperor Jing Li.
Emperor Jing Li moved, Liao Qing Qing also moved.
Emperor Jing Li moved again, Liao Qing Qing followed suit.
Emperor Jing Li sat down on the bed and turned his head to look at Liao Qing Qing.
Liao Qing Qing smiled and said, “Your Majesty, don’t be angry. This imperial concubine isn’t disdaining you. This imperial concubine knows that you have been poisoned before. Your body has been harmed and temporarily can’t… Mm. This imperial concubine believes that Your Majesty will recover very soon. Children and so on is not a problem at all!”
Emperor Jing Li turned his head and asked, “Is that what you think?”
Liao Qing Qing hastily nodded, “Mm, mm, that’s what this imperial concubine thinks.”
“That’s more like it!” Emperor Jing Li’s face immediately eased up a lot.
???
Not angry again?
You’re not angry anymore?
So easy to coax.
“Sleep!” Emperor Jing Li suddenly said.
“Mm.”
Before Emperor Jing Li came, Liao Qing Qing had already bathed. Now, she took off her shoes and outer robe and was about to sleep inside the bed when she was suddenly grabbed by Emperor Jing Li. She turned her head to look at Emperor Jing Li in confusion. “Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”
Emperor Jing Li stared at Liao Qing Qing. A certain spark erupted in his eyes.
Liao Qing Qing, “???”
Emperor Jing Li suddenly kissed her.
Liao Qing Qing, “!!!” Her whole body froze.
This was not the first time Emperor Jing Li had kissed Liao Qing Qing.
The previous time before their last time, he kissed the drunk Liao Qing Qing. Liao Qing Qing knew nothing about it.
It was as sweet as honey to him, no matter which time it was.
He wanted to try again, and he kept holding back due to the problem with his body.
But just now, Liao Qing Qing’s soft body rubbed against him as he sat.
Her face was tender. A pair of eyes shining like stars.
It entranced him and tickled his heart. He finally couldn’t resist it.
He will kiss her and put off a discussion until later.
Just like that, he kissed Liao Qing Qing’s soft, sweet and warm lips. He extended his arms and wrapped them around Liao Qing Qing.
Liao Qing Qing had never been this intimate with a man in her two lives.
At once, her brain went blank.
When she slightly reacted to it, she was already lying under Emperor Jing Li’s body. Her lips were a little sore… She felt that Emperor Jing Li’s kissing skills were not good, but she was extraordinarily excited.
Her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
And she didn’t know how to respond well.
But that doesn’t stop Emperor Jing Li from continuing.
Liao Qing Qing went from having her mind blank to having a dizzy head while feeling an unmentionable object poking her.
???
It can’t be that they are consummating their marriage tonight, right?
When she was confused and disoriented, Emperor Jing Li suddenly let go of her and abruptly lay beside her. She said softly, “Not now, Qing Qing and I have to hold back a bit.”
Liao Qing Qing responded with an “mm” sound for unknown reasons.
Emperor Jing Li rolled over and lay down on the bed.
Liao Qing Qing let out a sigh and turned her head to look at Emperor Jing Li.
Emperor Jing Li explained, “Imperial Physician Fan said that the poison in my body will be cleared soon.”
“Mm.”
“I can’t mess around. It will hurt people and hurt myself.”
“Mm.”
“I was poisoned before, and I am afraid that you will be harmed.”
“This imperial concubine knows.”
“I—”
“This imperial concubine is aware.”
“What do you know?”
“This imperial concubine knows that Your Majesty will soon recover.”
“Mm.” Emperor Jing Li responded. Even though he explained this very clearly and Liao Qing Qing repeatedly expressed her understanding, this kind of thing… As a man, it still felt particularly suffocating.
In the past, when there was no Liao Qing Qing, he did not have this feeling.
Now that there was Liao Qing Qing, he felt ashamed instead. He turned around with displeasure in his heart, and his back faced Liao Qing Qing.
He had long since put the poisoner to torture and had long since cast that matter aside.
At this moment, he felt very resentful again; he felt resentful of the person who poisoned him.
Just then, he suddenly felt a warmth behind him. He slightly lowered his head and saw Liao Qing Qing’s hand on his waist.
He didn’t say anything.
His eyes stopped moving for a moment, and then there was tenderness and joy overflowing from it.
He gently placed his hand on the top of Liao Qing Qing’s hands.
Then, he closed his eyes peacefully.
