Chapter 260 My Darling Princess
The two were completely honest with each other, but when it came to the final step, Yuan Huaixue became afraid, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Lou Shenghan's eyes were bloodshot. He couldn't care less about anything else; this feeling... was even more intense than when the medicine took effect that day.
"Your Highness...Princess, may I have a good look at you?"
She hugged his neck tightly, her palms sweating slightly, and all that remained between them was their warm breath.
"Lou Shenghan, you...you should be gentler. It's written in the storybooks that many women cry on their first time!"
"Hmm~"
He responded with a deep voice, lowered his head to cover those luscious lips, and swallowed Yuan Huaixue's cry of pain.
"Ouch~ It hurts so much~"
At the crucial moment, she was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, even though Lou Shenghan had been very careful.
He tenderly kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, "My dear princess, please bear with it a little longer, okay?"
"Waaah~ Stop it, didn't... didn't you say it would feel good?" She sniffled, her eyes brimming with tears.
"This..." He felt extremely uncomfortable all over, like an arrow on a bowstring, ready to be released.
He could only patiently coax her, "Princess, please bear with me a little longer. I will be careful, it will be over in a moment, okay?"
"Do not lie to me."
"Your humble servant is not lying to you."
Lou Shenghan was no longer as unrestrained as before, as if he wasn't the one who was bowing and scraping to Yuan Huaixue at this moment.
He never imagined that one day he would be coaxing this pampered little princess like a daughter...
"Lou...Lou Shenghan, please...please don't..."
"Your Highness, be good!"
He kept kissing Yuan Huaixue, trying to distract her, but he was also too passionate and couldn't control himself. It was utterly despicable. He knew she was in pain, but he wouldn't allow her to stop halfway.
The cries and screams were incessant. The servants who passed by the study were all terrified, but dared not say anything. They could only instruct the entire household that no one was allowed to approach the study.
"My dear princess, don't cry."
"Waaaaah~ I'll burn those storybooks when I get back. They're all lies, Lou Shenghan, I hate you!"
"...Didn't you just say you liked me?"
He gently patted Yuan Huaixue's back with one hand, while his other hand, instead of looking down, targeted the crimson on her fair skin. How could this unripe fruit be so tempting?
"I don't like you anymore, Lou Shenghan. I'm going back to the palace."
His heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Then... then Xue'er won't like me anymore? She won't contact me privately anymore? She won't be close to me anymore?"
“This…” Yuan Huaixue hesitated. She had indeed been in a lot of pain, but to tell her never to see Lou Shenghan again…
He scooped her up in his arms and carried her to sit on the desk, his eyes filled with even more doting affection. "Xue'er, is it alright to sit here? This time, I won't let Xue'er feel uncomfortable."
"Why?"
"Because...that's something that's not in the storybooks."
As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee, straightened his shoulders and neck, and the shadow cast by Yuan Huaixue fell directly on his face.
"Lou...you, what are you doing?"
Yuan Huaixue exclaimed in surprise, her whole body stiffening violently.
"Your Highness, I...I like you very much..."
"Hmm~ What's wrong?"
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study of the palace, Emperor Yuan listened to the report from his shadow guards with a dark expression.
"You mean, the person who chased Yan'er on the way was from the Grand Tutor's mansion?"
"Yes! But we don't yet know who is instigating it."
"Humph!"
He snorted coldly, his gaze dark and brooding. Who was behind this? Who else could it be but Qin Shuang?
"Crown Prince Jinfa and Crown Princess are returning to the country tomorrow. Remember to have A Ling secretly send the Wujia Army to protect them."
"Yes!"
Yuan Huaijun's brow twitched as he recalled his long conversation with Jin Fa last night. If that fellow were to become emperor, it would be more beneficial than harmful to him and Yuan Qi, since he didn't even think much of Bai Qing's princes.
What about Yelan's side?
"The two prime ministers have already crossed the border, and there are no signs of anything amiss."
This was something that not only he found strange, but also Xin Moling and Xuan Yuan found strange. Ye Lan was not such an honest and upright person. Moreover, their request this time was to marry Ye Hou. How could they be willing to leave empty-handed?
"Keep a close watch until they enter Nightfall territory."
"Yes!"
"Also, tomorrow... he will present the betrothal gifts, and in a few days, Yan'er will hold her wedding. Have A-Lie send people to patrol all parts of the capital to make sure nothing goes wrong and that Yan'er's wedding goes smoothly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
His thoughts gradually grew heavy. He hoped that Yan'er could truly be happy this time. A-Lie had been claiming to be sick and hadn't left the house for the past two days. He heard that he was always drinking at home. Did A-Lie regret it?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
The shadow guard's voice brought him back to his senses quickly. "What is it?"
"Yes...Your Highness."
Yuan Huaijun looked up, and an imposing aura emanated from him as he swept over the shadow guards on the ground. He said in a deep voice, "Xue'er, what is it?"
"Your Highness... Your Highness has left the palace."
"what happened?"
The shadow guard then confessed everything, including how she stopped Lou Shenghan in the palace, changed into eunuch clothes, followed Lou's carriage out of the palace, followed him all the way to the General's Mansion, jumped into Lou Shenghan's carriage in the street, and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where she has been ever since...
"very good!"
With his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, Yuan Huaijun practically spat out the two words through clenched teeth, his expression already incredibly gloomy.
It seems that Lou Shenghan has been confused about why he has been neglecting him these past few days. It was one thing to let Xue'er stay at his residence for one night a few days ago, but these past few days he has heard that Xue'er has been waiting at Changmen Street just to see Lou Shenghan.
Although he also found it strange, wasn't Xue'er in love with A-Ling? Why was she always clinging to Lou Shenghan lately?
But then I thought about it again. That guy has always been glib and loves to flirt. Could it be that a few days ago at the Prime Minister's residence, he took advantage of Xue'er's loneliness and naivety and deceived her with his words, causing her to be upset lately?
Therefore, he has been giving Lou Shenghan the cold shoulder these past few days.
At that moment, they were alone together in a room...
He had many bad premonitions. "You must immediately send the Fifth Prince to the Prime Minister's residence and bring Xue'er back to the palace. Also, have the Fifth Prince tell me the truth about what's going on in the residence."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Inside the Prime Minister's study, Yuan Huaixue's hands were trembling, and she was covered in sweat and panting heavily, as if she had been pulled out of the water.
He had restrained himself for months, but it all crumbled because of the little princess in front of him.
But she was still young and couldn't be indulged too much. He only took her a few times before teaching her to help him with chores so she wouldn't get too tired...
"May I wipe your body?"
"Ah."
"Drink this first."
"This is?"
"Contraceptive Decoction".
"what?"
Yuan Huaixue was startled and stared at him blankly.
