After returning to Prince Yi's Imperial Residence, Xiao Luoli walked straight back to her room, closed the door, and went to the bedside. Her entire body sank in.
He felt his body suddenly deflate, and exhaustion that he had never felt before spread to every corner of his body. He had always been a person who did things according to the plan and was good at controlling his emotions. Why did things completely derail this time? Even his emotions, which had been silent for twenty-four years, became chaotic and unstable.
Di Xuanxun... As she said this name, Xiao Luoli's heart was filled with indescribable panic. Originally, this man was just a part of her plan, a chess piece, an exchange. But now, not to mention the entire plan, even his own people had turned from an outsider to a puppet in the game. Xiao Luoli's fingers tugged at the bedsheet under her, and her expression became a little painful and conflicted. He was unwilling to let his emotions be controlled and manipulated, but after struggling, he realized that he was powerless to do anything about it.
He recalled the warning that the man in white had given him: Don't fall in love with Di Xuanxun. At that time, she had only laughed it off and thought that what he said was a joke. Falling in love with the person she was using? And a man? That was absolutely impossible! But now? Although it wasn't love, at least he was being pulled in an invisible way. He wasn't himself anymore.
Di Xuanxun had a mesmerizing temperament. At times, she was mysterious, at times sad, and at other times, she was deep and unpredictable. However, it made people want to get closer to her. It was a contradiction that combined arrogance and seduction. It was a curse…The scenes of their passion in bed were still vivid in his mind. The shocking pleasure seemed to be engraved into every inch of his body. He was not a person who valued desires, but he could not forget Di Xuanxun's body. Had he fallen? Why would Di Xuanxun be so conceited as to say,'Be careful not to leave me!'Did he know that this would be the outcome…
Xiao Luoli was immersed in her own meditation until a voice barged in.
"Master."
"Hmm? Mo Xi, is there something you need?" Xiao Luoli looked at her subordinate who had been following her, and her thoughts gradually returned.
"Master, are you not feeling well today? Please take care of yourself." Mo Xi knelt under the bed and said with concern. "Yun Cheng sent news that something big seems to have happened at the Ghost Palace.”
"I'm fine. What happened that made you come to me in the daytime?”Xiao Luoli's voice returned to its low and cold solemnity as she waited for the rest of the sentence.
"The Ghost Palace Master passed away not long ago. The Ghost Palace is in a mess now, but we don't know the exact situation, so it's very difficult to investigate.”Mo Xi replied respectfully. Master, our cooperation with the Ghost Palace…"
"I'll handle that. Continue to investigate. Is there any unusual movement in the court?" The Ghost Palace Master was dead, so who would be the next Palace Master? Di Xuanxun? What a mistake…to use a person who had always played with others in the palm of his hand as a target, the consequences would be like his current self. The other party hadn't done anything yet, but she was the one who panicked first. Di Xuanxun was such a shrewd person. How could she want such a person to fall in love with her? He was not confident at all, but he might fall first…
"There haven't been any major changes. However, Prime Minister Lin has been very close to the General of Restriction City's Military Department recently.”
"What did Ray say?" Lei was one of Xiao Luoli's Four Dark Shadows, a spy in the Imperial Court, and the current deputy general of the Restriction City's Military Department.
"Lin Han has his own way of doing things. He's more flexible and sensitive in politics, so he might be useful to me. " Master, you and Lin Yuanxin…" Mo Xi thought that if Xiao Luoli really married Lin Yuanxin, things would develop in a more favorable direction.
"In a while, I'll go to the palace and see what happens.”Originally, it didn't matter who he married, because the only thing he cared about was the position of the Supreme Martial Artist. Love was just an accessory of politics. He didn't think he would fall in love with anyone, but now he didn't want to get married so soon. "You may leave. Continue to investigate the possible candidates for the next Palace Master of the Ghost Palace, especially the Third Young Master of the Ghost Palace.”
"Yes." Mo Xi's figure disappeared as quickly as she had come.
After Mo Xi left, Xiao Luoli ordered people to prepare a sedan chair and went straight to the Heavenly Temple.
"Report that this king wants to see you!"
"Prince Yi, the emperor hasn't woken up yet! This servant doesn't dare to wake the emperor."
"Benwang said he wanted to see you. Now, immediately, immediately! Go and report it to me!" What time was it? Why was Xiao Luochi still in bed?! It was strange that he was not a person who liked to relax and hated to work. No, he had to go and take a look!
"Prince Yi, please wait. This servant is also in a difficult position.”
"No! What time is it now? Go and report to me, or else this king will go by himself!”
……
"Your highness, this servant is begging you. His Majesty drank too much last night, this servant really doesn't dare to go!”Prince Yi wasn't someone to be trifled with, so the eunuch didn't dare to put up a face to stop him. But the Emperor was someone he couldn't afford to offend!
"Which concubine is serving you?"
"Your Majesty is alone."
"Then what are you still talking about! Hurry up and report!" Why was this sissy so hesitant? Xiao Luoli's mood worsened when she saw his face.
"Your Highness, please wait."
"I can't wait! Get lost, if anything happens, this king will take responsibility!”Xiao Luoli was no longer in the mood to waste time with this guy. She pushed him aside and barged in.
When they entered the main hall, they saw that the bright yellow curtains were hanging down. Xiao Luochi was still in bed.
"Royal brother, what time is it already, you're still sleeping?!”Xiao Luoli and Xiao Luochi always talked like this when there were no outsiders around. Xiao Luoli said as she poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her dry throat.
The two brothers were both ambitious and ambitious people. They were both enemies and friends. They cherished each other but also guarded against each other and had a kinship, although this kinship seemed unbelievable to outsiders. If one wanted to become a king, one had to be able to let go of their feelings. The more power one had, the more dangerous it was. However, Xiao Luochi and Xiao Luoli had found the balance very well, so the two of them were still very harmonious. As long as one party did not destroy this relationship, then their harmony would continue.
"He drank too much, so he's not awake yet.”Di Xuanxun's languid and unique voice drifted out from behind the curtain. He did not expect Xiao Luoli to come into the palace so coincidentally. From his energetic voice, it seemed that he did not hurt him last night. However, the prince who spoke to the emperor like this was really arrogant. Di Xuanxun thought to herself in amusement. She had woken up from her stupor when this guy quarreled with the eunuch outside the palace. The wine in the palace was indeed top-grade and had a strong aftertaste.
Xiao Luoli spat out a mouthful of water when she heard the sound. This, why did this voice appear here? Di Xuanxun? Although he had only known him for a day, he would never forget this dead man's voice! It was simply a curse that was imprinted in his mind and could not be removed even if he wanted to. That voice that disturbed his heart and made him extremely upset…Impossible, impossible!! Why was he in the palace? Xiao Luoli, who did not believe this cruel reality, rushed over and lifted the curtain.
"What are you two doing? Di, Feng, why are you on my Imperial Brother's bed!”Xiao Luoli roared angrily. Xiao Luoli wanted to call Di Xuanxun, but she received a cold look from Di Xuanxun as soon as she said that. She turned around. Seeing this scene, Xiao Luoli couldn't tell what he felt. The anger made Xiao Luoli feel as if a pair of hands were squeezing his heart. The throbbing pain drowned his entire body before he could react. He was about to lose his mind. The two of them, Di Xuanxun and Xiao Luochi, were naked and entangled together!
"Just do what you see." Di Xuanxun replied indifferently without avoiding or feeling guilty.
"Ah Li, you're here. You drank a little too much yesterday. What's the matter?" Xiao Luochi heard Xiao Luoli's roar and asked in a hoarse voice. Seeing Xiao Luoli's expression, Xiao Luochi couldn't help but frown in his heart. Could it be that Xiao Luoli had fallen for Maple? Although this wasn't an unexpected result, once it came true, would the two brothers still be as harmonious as they were now…
"Imperial brother, did he force you?”Xiao Luoli tried his best not to imagine what the two of them had done in bed. He did not believe it, he did not want to believe it! Xiao Luochi could have any woman he wanted. Why would he fall for Di Xuanxun? Di Xuanxun…How could Di Xuanxun turn around and run to another man's bed after doing that to her? Moreover, it was Xiao Luochi!
Chi, did I force you?" Di Xuanxun raised her eyebrows and asked Xiao Luochi in a low and sexy voice, but her eyes were fixed on Xiao Luoli, who was in front of the bed.
"Chi? Who allowed you to call my Imperial Brother's name like this! Do you even know shame? Can you die without a man?”Di Xuanxun was very familiar with Xiao Luochi, yet Xiao Luochi allowed him to call her by her name?! Hearing this ambiguous voice, Xiao Luoli's heart became even more conflicted, so her words became intense.
"Ah Li, I was the one who asked him to call me that.”It seemed that his guess was right. Xiao Luoli was indeed moved by Feng. Perhaps he himself was not very clear about this feeling, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was too obvious. Xiao Luoli had never been so excited. His excitement was more like jealousy than anger. If Xiao Luoli did not care about Maple, she would not be like this. Forget it, there had to be a result to the fight. Power and feelings might not be able to coexist in the end…
"Imperial brother, you're crazy! He was just an actor! And…and…"
"And what?" Xiao Luochi admitted that he was a little sinister and selfish. What would Feng, who was interested in him, think of Xiao Luoli's words at this moment...
"I don't think he even remembers how many people he's slept with. He's so dirty, he's not worthy at all!" Xiao Luoli turned her head to the side in a fit of pique.
Di Xuanxun, who had been watching all this coldly, was not angry at Xiao Luoli's words. Instead, she stared at him thoughtfully.
"Ah Li, he told me about Feng and you. For my sake, forget it.”
"Imperial brother, you actually said good things about me for him?!”The arrogant Xiao Luochi actually begged Di Xuanxun for her sake?! Did Xiao Luochi like Di Xuanxun? This possibility made Xiao Luoli feel dizzy, and her body felt a little weak.
"Chi, thank you."
Feng's 'thank you' sounded so heavy in Xiao Luochi's ears. Feng had always kept a distance from him. He did not want such polite but unfamiliar courtesy.
"Despicable." Xiao Luoli spat out two words angrily from between her teeth.
"Enough, Ah Li, if Feng is willing, I'm willing to let him enter the palace to be directly conferred a consort. I love him!" That's right, if he was willing, not to mention a consort, even the empress herself was willing to give it to him! Anyway, there were so many women who could leave him heirs. Unfortunately, Feng was like the wind, unable to be caught…Xiao Luochi did not hide his feelings for Feng. He wanted Xiao Luoli to know his thoughts so that no matter what Xiao Luoli chose in the future, she would be able to think clearly.
Although Xiao Luochi was not angry, his tone was cold. Not to mention Kaede's ability to hide from others, even his proud and unruly soul was something she yearned for but could not indulge, because she had too many responsibilities. He cherished this kind of Feng and respected him. Feng was definitely not an ordinary actor like he appeared to be. His superb martial arts and superior insight proved that he was extraordinary.
"Royal brother, bestow marriage to Lin Yuanxin and me.”As soon as Xiao Luoli said that, she regretted it. She wanted to grab onto something more, but her rationality prevented her from saying anything else.
"Ah Li…are you serious? I hope you don't regret it."
"You want to get married?" Di Xuanxun's question seemed emotionless, but her long and narrow peach blossom eyes narrowed.
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Luoli did not look into Di Xuanxun's eyes. At this moment, Di Xuanxun was a little terrifying.
"Consider it for another three days. If you still have this opinion, I will give you an edict.”Xiao Luochi did not believe that Xiao Luoli would really want this edict. Otherwise, she would not have waited until now.
"Then I will take my leave." Without looking at the two of them again, Xiao Luoli walked out of the Heaven Temple Hall as if she didn't care.
After returning to the residence, Xiao Luoli closed the door. Her suppressed emotions completely collapsed. She punched the bedpost and then dropped it. Blood fell drop by drop, but he did not feel any pain. He just wanted to forget all of this and pretend that it never happened.
"Feng, if, I mean if he really wants me to bestow a marriage, will you blame me?”Xiao Luochi looked at Kaede worriedly.
"I won't." Di Xuanxun's voice was still flat as she simply replied with two words. "Chi, I'm leaving." Di Xuanxun got up and put on her clothes.
"Kaede, can you try to love me?”
"It's very difficult." After saying that, the red figure in front of Xiao Luochi disappeared.
" Doesn't that mean it won't happen…" Xiao Luochi automatically added an annotation to Di Xuanxun's answer. Looking at the empty space in front of him, Xiao Luochi was a little stunned, but his determination did not change at all.
