Chapter 11
“His Majesty the emperor is here!”
The sharp voice of the eunuch outside the door resonated.
For the past couple of days, the emperor had been burdened with paperwork that had been delayed due to his visit to the mountain for blessings. He was feeling a bit tired. When the eunuch mentioned a girl entering the palace, he frowned in dissatisfaction, assuming it would be an ordinary woman wrapped in a quilt, hoping she might pique his interest if she was lucky.
Su Ning sat by the bed and watched as the door slowly opened. When the figure in bright yellow robes appeared, Su Ning stood up in surprise and ran towards the tall figure. The gauzy fabric fluttered in the wind, and the pink-colored translucent wings that rose up behind her made her look like a fairy descending from the heavens. The emperor was momentarily stunned as she crashed into him.
Before entering the room, the emperor, who initially wanted her to leave, suddenly changed his mind.
As he touched the tender skin of Su Ning’s slender waist, the emperor thought to himself, “Such an enchanting person truly satisfies me.”
When Su Ning raised her head and looked at him with her breathtaking watery eyes, he felt a dryness in his throat. The hands around Su Ning’s waist unconsciously tightened.
She pouted and began to complain, “Your Majesty, you’re so slow. This concubine has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Surprisingly, this complaint softened his heart. It was a novel experience. How could someone be so audacious towards him, daring to complain to the emperor of a country? But he didn’t feel any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he found her voice pleasing to the ears. He couldn’t help but regret why he hadn’t come earlier.
No matter the turbulence in his heart, his face remained impassive, devoid of any emotions. The slight pursing of his thin lips made him appear even more inhumane. If it weren’t for the increasing force around Su Ning’s waist, she would have thought he was angry.
“Your Majesty, are you angry?” Su Ning frowned slightly, looking at him with concern. Then, as if she remembered something, her eyes lit up. “This concubine will give you two kisses, so don’t be angry.”
Xuan Yuan, who wanted to reply that he wasn’t angry, promptly shut up.
Su Ning stood on her tiptoes, but Xuan Yuan was too tall and refused to lower his noble head. So Su Ning had no choice but to kiss him twice on the neck.
The skin she touched felt like fire. Xuan Yuan suddenly lifted her up by the waist and carried her towards the dragon bed.
Su Ning exclaimed and hurriedly reached out to hug his arm. “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you doing?”
Since entering the room, Xuan Yuan, who had never been willing to part his lips, finally uttered two words.
“Eat you.”
…
At night, a delicate young woman reclined on the beauty couch, gazing at the moon outside the window with charming and beautiful eyes. After dismissing all the palace maids, she engaged in a leisurely conversation with thin air.
“Don’t worry, I raised the love value to 60 in just three months. It will be full soon.”
“999, check the system store for any new items. Once I complete the mission, I’ll earn 5,000 points. So why not take a good vacation!”
【999: Host, please remember not to take it lightly. If it’s worth 5,000 points, the mission difficulty is relatively high. The main character is not someone who easily falls in love with others.】
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I finally arrived in ancient times. It’s so comfortable to have someone serving me.”
【999: The love value of 60 can only be considered as friendship, not love. Warning: the main character’s love value is decreasing. -5 love value… -10 love value… -15 love value… Current love value: 30】A string of announcements about the decreasing love value sounded, widening the woman’s eyes and unsettling her.
“999, your system must be malfunctioning! Fix it quickly!”
【999: Love value -10… Love value -15… Current love value: 5】
【999 (cool-headed): After examination, the system has not malfunctioned. The sudden drop in love value is being investigated for the cause.】
“Impossible! There must be something wrong with your system! The love value can’t drop so much in an instant!”
【999: There are two reasons for the sudden drop in love value. First, the main character has experienced amnesia, death, or similar events. Or second, the main character has fallen in love with someone other than the host at first sight.】
“Impossible! This is the imperial palace. Your Majesty shouldn’t encounter any mishaps. Wait, could there be assassins…” The more the woman thought about it, the more frightened she became. She summoned the maid guarding the door.
“Xiao Huan, go to His Majesty‘s palace immediately and tell him I’m having a heart attack.”
…
Xuan Yuan was currently filled with excitement. The woman beneath him wasn’t his first, but she was the first to make his heart tremble in the depths of his soul and give him the ultimate pleasure. He truly wanted to mold her into his bones. That way, she could only belong to him.
“I report to Your Majesty that Concubine Su is experiencing a relapse. They have sent someone to invite Your Majesty to Zhao Hua Hall…” The eunuch’s sharp and panicked voice came from outside the door.
Xuan Yuan turned a deaf ear, lowering his head to cover Su Ning’s slightly open, gasping pink lips. But she turned her head to avoid him.
“Your Majesty… a relapse… Concubine Su.”
Xuan Yuan’s eyes darkened as he reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to accept his aggressive kiss. His actions became more intense, and Su Ning grew anxious, slashing her nails across his back, leaving two claw marks.
The eunuch, who received no response, grew even more anxious. It wasn’t that he couldn’t hear the commotion inside the room, but he was afraid. He had deliberately prevented the maid from reporting Su Fei’s heart attack to avoid disturbing His Majesty’s rest. Last time, he had received twenty lashes and had been bedridden for three months. This time, he wouldn’t dare to rush in.
With these thoughts, the eunuch Xiao Zhuo knocked on the door again and spoke loudly, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Su-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a resounding, angry voice.
“Get lost!”
The sound startled Xiao Zhuo’s ears. He had never seen His Majesty so furious. He almost threw himself to the ground, ready to beg for his life. Trembling, Xiao Zhuo retreated.
Su Ning opened her mouth, taking two breaths. Seeing him about to kiss her again, she hurriedly covered her mouth.
Frowning, Xuan Yuan saw tears streaming down her cheeks, as if they were falling directly onto his heart, cooling his anger. An unknown emotion enveloped him, as if an invisible hand tightly grasped him, making him feel depressed and uncomfortable.
