Chapter XXIV
The wind was a little cold on her face, but Chen Lin sat there quietly. For some reason, she felt flustered, as if something was about to arrive. That hesitation pulled at all the memories in her mind.
"Niangniang, go in. It's windy outside.”Lian 'er saw that Chen Lin was in a daze and could not help but remind her.
"Mhm, let's go in."
Chen Lin did not want to have too many emotions, so she walked in expressionlessly.
What was going on? He didn't look like the Empress. The person who cried, laughed, and made a fuss in the past wasn't like this. Lian 'er could not help but feel a little worried.
Xuanyuan Che only returned at night. Chen Lin was sitting by the window in a daze. The window was wide open, and the cold wind surged into the room.
"Wifey, you will get sick like this." Xuanyuan Che reached out to close the window and looked at Chen Lin gently.
"Xuanyuan Che, will you be a good emperor?”
Chen Lin no longer called him husband but Xuanyuan Che. She was asking Xuanyuan Che now, only Xuanyuan Che!
"Wifey, why are you asking this?" Xuanyuan Che's gaze was a little evasive.
"It's nothing. It's very late. Go to sleep.”Chen Lin did not ask anymore. Even the urge to look up at him was forcefully suppressed by her.
The night was as cold as water, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. However, Chen Lin kept her eyes open. Her eyes seemed to be shining in the night. She was Chen Lin. She could be silly, but she could also be as strong as a man.
next day. Just as the City Lord had said, the rebels began to attack the city. Xuanyuan Che didn't hesitate to lead his troops into battle.
Chen Lin stood coldly on the city wall. It was undeniable that Xuanyuan Che did have the demeanor of a general. The two armies were confronting each other, and he was standing alone on his horse at the front. He clearly did not have any advantage in numbers. However, just by standing there, it was as if he would immediately return triumphantly. The morale of the northern city soldiers had indeed increased greatly. Each of them was like a hungry tiger, while the other side was…prey!
The two sides quickly began to tangle. The sandstorm was very strong and blinded Chen Lin. Looking at the soldiers of the North City, the Mountain Thieves, and perhaps the Snow Dragon Kingdom, the blood dripped down onto the sand. The battlefield was like an acre of red land. It was so beautiful and dazzling. How could Xuanyuan Che smile so calmly in front of him? The war was clearly so urgent. This morning, when he left, he was also full of confidence. He could indeed win this battle easily. Surrounded on all sides, the enemy had no way to escape.”Lian 'er originally planned to wake Chen Lin up, but she did not expect to see her in the room.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to get some wind and see Xuanyuan Che's battle plan.”Chen Lin smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.
Lian 'er smiled and teased,"Your Majesty, you miss the Emperor so soon?" The Empress need not worry about these people, the Emperor can handle them.”
"Is that so?" Chen Lin muttered.
I'm afraid this is just dessert, right?
"Go back." Chen Lin turned around and left.
Lian 'er's face also darkened. The Empress had been unhappy for the past two days and did not make a fuss like before. She had the aura of a mother of the world, but she was also like a wooden doll, without her true nature. But... what could she say about the matters between the masters?
Lian 'er quickly followed Chen Lin and walked behind her. He suddenly felt a chill. She wanted to be by the emperor's side. Lian 'er looked up at Chen Lin's back. Actually, the Empress's ability was not much weaker than the Emperor's, right?
"Lian 'er, don't worry. I'm fine. I want to walk by myself. You can go back first.”Chen Lin sensed the change in Lian 'er and said with a smile. Then, she skipped to the bamboo forest in the backyard. The scenery there was better, and she needed some quiet time.
She didn't know what Xuanyuan Che was thinking. As long as it wasn't the last moment, she would choose to believe him.
The air in the bamboo forest was very good, unlike the yellow sand outside. Chen Lin closed her eyes and opened her hands to embrace the breeze, feeling its existence. The corners of his lips curled up. No one knew how things would develop. He only hoped that his choice was not wrong. Hopefully, Nangong Aotian was standing there, but Chen Lin did not notice.
Nangong should have left today, but he wanted to confirm if that woman was Ouyang Wan. Perhaps this was just an excuse, but he still wanted to see her, even if it was far away. He already knew the answer. She was the princess of Singapore. She was his brother's empress. She was a victim of political interests. She was also the first person he cared about. Che hesitated. Even he could not help but want to persuade Che to give up on his original plan. What should he do? They were actually so hesitant over the same woman. The martial arts world and the imperial court never had too many entanglements. However, if this time... then, he would think about whether he should make an exception... On the third day of the fight with the traitors, they did not come as scheduled. The city gate was empty, and it seemed desolate.
Yuan Che and Chen Lin's days were still as usual. Occasionally, they would joke, occasionally be intimate, and occasionally cause small trouble.
"Ouyang Wan! Where did you find a caterpillar?" Xuanyuan Che roared.
"Oh! You mean that! I saw it in the bushes! You thought she hit it off with you, so you put it on your desk?”Chen Lin had a puzzled look on her face. Indeed, she was laughing so hard that her heart was cramping. Xuanyuan Che looked at the caterpillars in the room and his entire face quickly changed.
"Are you sure it was on the desk?”
It was not easy for her to see the sun today. Chen Lin sat on the swing outside and shook her calves.
"That's right! I'm very sure! Before I left the room, they were all on the desk!”
Lian 'er, who was standing at the side and helping Chen Lin push the swing, blushed. It took Ming a lot of effort to find all those caterpillars! A whole hundred of them!
Xuanyuan Che rushed out of the room." Wan 'er is messing around again! Looks like he needs to be taught a lesson!"
Looking at Xuanyuan Che's sinister purple eyes, Chen Lin felt very uneasy. Her instincts told her that it was very dangerous now!
"That…I'll go ask Dark to help catch the caterpillars!”Chen Lin shrunk her neck. In the end, she still planned to…surrender…and not blame her! Xuanyuan Che was too domineering!
"No need!" Xuanyuan Che grabbed Chen Lin's arm that was about to leave.
"Lian 'er, go find Dark."
Watching Lian 'er leave, Xuanyuan Che added,""Don't bother about whatever sounds you hear later.”
Chen Lin froze. Was he going to slap her?
"Erm, hubby, I really didn't do it on purpose! I didn't know those bugs were so disobedient! I really put them on the desk!”
Chen Lin was so spineless even when she begged for mercy! (Linlin: Say, if you have a backbone, beg for mercy!)）
"You want me to forgive you?" Xuanyuan Che raised an eyebrow.
"En en!" Chen Lin pecked at the rice.
"That's good! I'm hungry." Xuanyuan Che laughed cunningly.
"I see! Then I'll help you get some food!"
Chen Lin turned around and planned to leave.
"Wifey really doesn't know what I mean by hungry?”
Xuanyuan Che picked Chen Lin up and blew into her ear.
"It seems that Wifey is very pure, but I can't help but want to make you more amorous.”
Chen Lin gritted her teeth. It was just a hundred caterpillars! There was no need for her to sacrifice herself, right?
" Husband, I…Which one of me is here…"
Chen Lin lowered her head, planning to muddle through.
In the end,"Wifey really knows how to joke. It's the first day of every month, and now it's the middle of the month?"”Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but roll his eyes. She had used the same excuse to brush him off in the palace, and now she was hoping that he would fall for it?
Chen Lin immediately felt dizzy. Why did he remember her days better than her? However, she really did not come this month. Perhaps it was a little out of place!
"No…That…That…" Chen Lin found a reason in her head.
However, Xuanyuan Che ignored her struggles and hugged her tightly into another room. Fortunately, the City Lord had arranged a courtyard for them, and there were quite a few rooms.
"Wifey, don't struggle. If the people outside hear us, they will definitely blame us for making such a big commotion.”Xuanyuan Che placed Chen Lin on the bed and pressed her down.
Chen Lin fell silent. She was not as shameless as Xuanyuan Che!
However, she had forgotten that Xuanyuan Che liked things to go against her wishes the most." Ah, yeah, Xuanyuan Che!”
Let's catch our breath first.
"I... I... Ah... I'm not done with you!”
Just like that, Chen Lin moaned under Xuanyuan Che for the entire afternoon, but every word she said was scolding him!
She even said that it was not good to cause such a huge commotion... In the end... This commotion... I'm afraid the entire City Lord's Estate knows..."My wife is very enthusiastic today. Look, I'm covered in your marks..." As Xuanyuan Che put on his clothes, he looked aggrievedly at the scratches and bite marks on his neck, chest, arms, and other places. Yes, it was not a kiss mark, it was a bite mark... Chen Lin pretended that he did not exist. She was angry now! How could she go out and meet people now?! They must have heard it and thought that she was that kind of slut! She actually moaned so loudly…but she really didn't do it on purpose! It's that bastard Xuanyuan Che... She was so innocent, so helpless, so ashamed to face anyone!
"What's wrong? Did your husband not serve you well?" Xuanyuan Che put on his clothes and leaned forward to stare at the woman who was curled up like a caterpillar under the blanket.
Chen Lin still did not say anything and continued to arch her body. It was very uncomfortable. Her entire body was sore. It was uncomfortable! And the culprit was the man in front of him with a dazzling smile.
She lifted the blanket and opened her big watery eyes. She pouted, and large tears began to fall. She didn't say a word and just stared at Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che was stunned as well. His heart ached as he said,""Wifey, I'm sorry, don't cry.”
Chen Lin was still the same. She stared at him without saying a word and kept crying.
Xuanyuan Che was at a loss for what to do with her. He went forward and gently kissed away the sparkling tears on her face, feeling that her tears were very hot and bitter.
Xuanyuan Che didn't care if she was unwilling or not. He personally helped her put on her clothes and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Wifey, it's getting dark. I'll take you to take a bath first. Then you can sleep after dinner, okay?”Xuanyuan Che lowered his head and focused on tying the rope around Chen Lin's clothes.
Chen Lin finally reacted. She reached out and patted his head to make him raise his head. Then, she pouted.
"Carry me! I want to soak in the hot spring!" Chen Lin opened her hands.
"Good!" Xuanyuan Che obediently carried Chen Lin and felt her body temperature. He smiled happily.
"My body is sore. What should I do?" Chen Lin, who was in his arms, raised her head. Her big eyes were still a little red, making one feel pity for her.
"I'll give you a massage later." Xuanyuan Che's smile was genuine, and his smile reached deep into his eyes. He kissed Chen Lin's forehead and smiled even more ostentatiously.
"Yes." Chen Lin snuggled in Xuanyuan Che's arms and found a comfortable place to fall asleep. Xuanyuan Che was very happy that she trusted him so much. With her by his side, she could sleep peacefully even on the battlefield. The tip of his toes tapped lightly as he flew away from the City Lord's Mansion. The winter night was too cold. Xuanyuan Che hugged the person in his arms tightly, afraid that she would catch a little wind.
Before Xuanyuan Che could call out, Chen Lin had already woken up. Because their originally cold bodies seemed to have suddenly encountered a hot air current, and the truth was, they had indeed encountered hot air... because they had arrived... and opened their misty eyes.
"It's so warm ~" Chen Lin's voice was the same as her eyes. There was a misty aura.
"Yes, I found this place by accident.”Xuanyuan Che looked at the hot spring that was shrouded in smoke. Actually, this was the place he had been looking for for a long time.
"Hehe, I'll go down first." Chen Lin took off the fox fur coat on her body. Because she had gotten off the bed directly, other than the fox fur coat, there was only a wrap inside.
She entered the hot spring with her clothes wrapped around her body. The warm spring water soaked her body, which was slightly cold.
"Aren't you going to take off your clothes?" Xuanyuan Che leaned against a large rock by the spring.
Chen Lin rolled her eyes at him. What if he became a beast again? Then wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
"What about what you promised me?" Chen Lin raised her eyebrows like a ruffian.
