Chapter 20: Scheming in the Whirlwind (Part 5)
Wan Ou was immersed in great pain, yet she still didn't forget to mock this arrogant man.
"Women really know how to choose the right time to make demands. A princess consort? Do you deserve it?" The sneer in his cold eyes was self - evident. He thought he had found a treasure, but it turned out she was no different from the common lot.
Unable to endure his abusive roughness, Wan Ou smiled extremely beautifully, pushing him to the forefront with her breathtakingly beautiful smile. "Lord of the Wolf - Controlling Region, can you afford a princess consort? The five kingdoms in the Central Plains restrict each other. The YuHuang Kingdom and the XiaoXuan Kingdom have a grand marriage alliance. On the wedding night, the groom is passionately making love to an unknown woman. What would the powerful XiaoXuan Kingdom think? And what about the extremely proud Seventh Princess?"
DuGu Lue's body froze. Immediately after, he ravished her body like a violent storm. Being hit right on the mark, and by a woman with a crystal - clear body who could see through his and the YuHuang Kingdom's position. He could penetrate her crystal - clear body, but not her outstanding soul.
Outstanding? He couldn't help but examine this woman who was good at sizing up the situation. DuGu Lue, who had always regarded women as playthings, actually felt a stir in his heart. This was something that had never happened before.
"You're also a woman from the XiaoXuan Kingdom. I'll let you represent the XiaoXuan Kingdom and receive the 'favor' of the YuHuang Kingdom. If you can figure out how to coexist peacefully with the Seventh Princess, wouldn't that continue the friendship between the two countries!" DuGu Lue was no pushover either. He forcefully moved in and out of her extremely soft body, yet what he most wanted to conquer was her stubborn and unyielding heart.
When the shrewd career - woman met the Lord of the Wolf - Controlling Region who had galloped through the battlefield, she had a mind to analyze the pros and cons of interests, and he had the strategies and schemes to turn things around at will.

The autumn was clear and refreshing, with a gentle breeze and a cloudless sky. The withering of the red maple leaves and the blooming of the golden chrysanthemums formed an excellent scenery both inside and outside the imperial palace, showing a wanton decline and a high - profile bloom at the same time.
On the city tower, a tall figure stood facing the wind. His slightly furrowed brows relaxed when he heard the approaching footsteps. His silver - white long hair fluttered freely in the wind.
"You didn't come to the morning court today. I knew you'd be here." DuGu Heng waved his hand slightly, telling Little Maozi and the others to leave, and walked onto the city tower alone.
Without turning around, "Every time I return from an expedition, Your Majesty always greets me here."
"You're my dearest younger brother. Of course, I'm concerned about you who are fighting hard on the front line." DuGu Heng said quietly.
Suddenly turning around, in the sunlight, two shadows stood side by side, at the peak of their power.
The two brothers, one was diligent in government affairs and loved the people, and the other was brave in battle. They had transformed the YuHuang Kingdom from the smallest country into one that could marry into the most powerful XiaoXuan Kingdom today. One brother was in charge of internal affairs and the other was in charge of external affairs. Both were outstanding heroes of all time.
"Your servant and younger brother asks Your Majesty for a teacher. Will Your Majesty approve?" DuGu Lue smiled slightly, thinking of the crystal doll who had stubbornly resisted under him last night but to no avail. She was the emperor's teacher, yet he had made her his woman. As for His Majesty...
DuGu Heng was astonished. "Weren't all the teachers buried with the late emperor?"
"Didn't Your Majesty feel reluctant??" DuGu Lue's green eyes turned cold. This little liar! He clenched his fists in anger. He had been deceived by her again!
