Chapter 252: Sharing A Bed
“By the way, Qingcheng, I heard that you suddenly have a stunning beauty kept as a mistress in a golden house in your mansion. Is there such a thing?”
Feng He spoke in a faint tone, fiddling with the lion head in his hand as if everything was under his control.
“Your Majesty, who is the blabbermouth? Qingcheng did bring back one person. I just happened to find that woman alone gathering herbs in Phoenix Mountain, she fainted in the mountains, so I brought her into the mansion and tossed her aside. Once she’s recovered, I’ll send her away immediately. Who is so bored as to report even this to Your Majesty?”
“I see. No need to send her away immediately. Phoenix Mountain? Could it be you went to see your late Hua Shidi again?” he said with strong disapproval.
“That’s right!”
“Sigh, forget it. I can’t shake your obsession with her. She’s already dead!”
“Imperial Brother, please don’t keep reminding this subject. This subject knows. He was still killed by my own hand!” His face showed extreme pain and sorrow, covering his mouth with a handkerchief as he gasped for breath.
“This is your fate. There’s nothing else I can give you. Imperial Brother will make up for this matter to you!”
This woman was a poison thorn in his heart. She already had suspicions of treason, and he stubbornly hid her corpse. He was furious when he found out at the time!
However, thinking about it, this also constantly reminds him, gnawing at his heart, striking at his spirit and soul. He would die faster this way!
Seeing his pale, colorless face full of stubbornness, Feng He continued,
“Sigh, Qingcheng, no need to be so nervous. I just thought it curious that you, who has always been indifferent to women, suddenly opened up to one. I wondered what kind of remarkable person it is! Hehe! It’s normal at your age. If Father knew under the springs, he would be happy for you too!”
“A good man aspires to the four directions; how can he not have a few gorgeous flowers to accompany him? Besides, you are Feng Lan Kingdom’s invincible in all battles God of War.”
Feng Qingcheng listened calmly to his words. Did he really expect that?
“If you like her, just keep her. But Imperial Brother must remind you of a few things. Feng Lan Kingdom and Si Kingdom are forming a marriage alliance. The Si Kingdom Princess will marry over soon. Don’t cause any trouble before then to make things difficult for Imperial Brother!”
“Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. This subject will be cautious!”
“Good!”
“The matter I instructed you to do last time must continue!” Find the treasure!
“Yes!”
After seeing off Feng He, Feng Qingcheng’s expression changed drastically. “Come here! Investigate for me. Who disobeyed this general’s orders and leaked matters of the God of War’s Mansion outside?”
“Once found, beat them to death with random sticks!”
Yu Qing Palace was heavy with silence.
On the road, Feng He solemnly instructed his subordinate, “Go investigate. Is Hua Can’s body still in that cave?”
“Yes!”
Only after the subordinate reported back clearly that the woman’s corpse was still in the cave did he stop.
Li Xi’er felt that Yu Qing Palace was quietly still, Zui Yue Pavilion was also quietly still, and it seemed something had happened outside.
An afternoon of practicing fist techniques, sword, saber, staff—she broke out in sweat, her body slick with it!
After she finished bathing and came out, even her two maids, Zisu and Honglian, were nowhere to be seen!
“Hey! Is anyone there?”
Wrapping her clothing tighter, in the empty Zui Yue Pavilion, only a gentle breeze blew through the courtyard, pink cherry petals scattering everywhere. It was beautiful…
But this feeling of everything not being under her control was really unpleasant.
Changing into clothing, letting her hair hang loose over her shoulders, digging in her ear, covered with a quilt leaning obliquely on the lounge chair in contemplation.
Many dreams from her dream had been verified, so without doubt, that red-clothed woman holding a weapon practicing cultivation was the real Hua Linglong.
Those fights, clanging iron horses and golden spears on the battlefield, all those scenes experienced with those people were real experiences. She wasn’t dreaming.
Because the man who often held her in his arms to sleep in the dreams was also Feng Qingcheng.
Sometimes she woke up in Li Sanmao’s arms in the morning; that warm, steadfast feeling often made her stare blankly at Li Sanmao’s face back then!
From the beginning, when beating the black bear in the mountains and seeing him, she felt his figure was familiar; his silhouette appeared in her dreams.
He was the man who played with her in the forest, competed in martial arts with her, fought alongside her on the battlefield. She remembered his identity: Feng Lan Kingdom’s Third Prince.
The man whose sharp sword pierced her heart and took her life.
She hadn’t lost her memory; some things just hadn’t fully come back to her yet!
Feng Qingcheng—mentioning this name, her heart went cold. So that’s how it is. You killed her, so you feel such guilt.
There shouldn’t be anyone in this world so great as to thank the person who killed them. Anyway, she wasn’t.
Late at night, the man indeed sneaked into her bedroom in Zui Yue Pavilion again.
“Can’t you sleep on your own? …God of War Senior Brother?”
In the darkness, her voice was cold, sounding heartless and indifferent!
Don’t think she hadn’t noticed these past few days; she was just pretending not to know. At first out of curiosity, later seeing he did nothing and left before dawn!
She didn’t know what to say. Li Xi’er clutched the quilt, revealing a pair of pitch-black eyes, finally unable to endure and shouting.
“Uh… so Hua Shidi hasn’t fallen asleep yet?” Feng Qingcheng was stunned. “Hehe, Senior Brother cannot sleep. It’s strange, but only by Hua Shidi’s side can I miraculously fall asleep.”
In his youth in the Imperial Palace, everything was cold, including Mother. He was very curious why Mother never lovingly held him to sleep like other imperial brothers’ mothers?
Later, he often slept uneasily. Palace people told frightening stories of life-taking ghosts in the palace in front of him, dressed as ghosts to scare him; assassination and poisoning were minor matters…
His illness, cowardice, weak constitution—all had reasons.
“Hua Shidi, don’t be afraid. In Jue Lun Kingdom, we slept with our heads together like this. Back then, you weren’t so coy!”
Senior and junior brothers sharing a bed was normal. He rejected sleeping together with a man back then!
But she didn’t care, angrily scolding him for not knowing good from bad, acting like a petty woman!
Then she extinguished the candle and vividly told him a ghost story!
At that time, he often wondered why there was such a nasty man in the world? Even more excessive, she pressed her thigh on his waist and legs, and in the morning, their tangled positions left him sore all over!
Sometimes her drool even flowed onto his chest. Gradually, he inexplicably felt a strange warmth…
“I-I just forgot the past matters, didn’t I?”
“Hm, don’t tell me these many years you’ve been going to Phoenix Mountain to hold my ice-cold corpse to sleep?”
The man gazed at her seriously in the darkness and nodded. “Senior Brother also often goes on campaigns. Occasionally!”
What? What kind of weird fetish is this? Dead pervert, not afraid of a sudden corpse coming back to life?
“In this Yu Qing Palace, if you don’t share a bed with this prince, no one will really take you seriously!”
Moreover, Imperial Brother came today, and it’s unclear.
The man helped himself, lifted the quilt and slipped under it, covered up, just quietly lying beside her sleeping with eyes closed.
Anyway, he gave himself an excuse and said softly: “Sleep.”
After speaking, soon even breathing sounds rose evenly and slightly by her ear.
Fell asleep so fast? “Hey! You asleep?” She reached out to feel his breath. It seemed this person was really exhausted.
Li Xi’er stared with wide eyes, not knowing until when, and also huhu fell asleep.
