Updated from 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝓮𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶
That night, Su Qiuge directly sent the person to the study.
Even if he tried to act pitifully to gain sympathy, Su Qiuge was determined not to share a room with him this time. It might start with just a hug, but who knows if it would escalate to undressing. Such words should never be trusted.
The man stood at the door, looking at her from a distance, and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Are you not afraid to sleep alone in such a dark night? Don’t you need me to hold you?”
Su Qiuge buried her head in the blanket. “I’m not afraid, I don’t need it.”
Then Xie Xinglin continued teasing, curling his lips. “What if you have a nightmare? Don’t you need someone to accompany you?”
Su Qiuge shook her head. “Even if I have a nightmare, I’m not afraid.”
Xie Xinglin seemed unwilling to give up. “Are you sure you don’t need…”
At this point, Su Qiuge began to usher him out. “Good night, good night.”
Xie Xinglin gazed at her for a long time, watching her clearly show an expression as if she had seen a ghost, and chuckled softly. It seemed that he did leave an impression on her. But it didn’t matter; after all, they had plenty of time for her to adapt gradually.
Thinking like this, he placed his slender fingers on the room’s light switch and said, “Good night, sweet dreams.” After he said that, she finally poked her head out of the covers and blew him a kiss through the air. He smiled slightly at this gesture. Immediately after, the room fell into darkness.
Of course, Su Qiuge never expected that on this particular night, she would actually…
Actually, have a dream.
She rarely dreams. Previously, her dreams were mostly about her childhood before transmigration or events before her death. Everything in those dreams felt so real, from the actions and words of others to the sentences spoken. What was even scarier was that she knew she wasn’t awake in those dreams, but waking up was difficult.
It was the same this time.
However, this dream greatly exceeded her expectations.
“Princess, the person you requested has arrived.”
When Su Qiuge woke up, she realized there was someone calling her from behind a thin gauze curtain. The delicate chiffon curtain fluttered in the wind, revealing the face of the person behind it…
The person had a round figure and a face that exuded a prosperous aura, clearly the result of indulging in rich food and leading to a prominent double chin…
He was dressed as a eunuch, and his voice was somewhat high-pitched.
Clean-shaven with a follower behind him, resembling those powerful eunuchs in television dramas.
But…
Su Qiuge was a bit dumbfounded.
How could this person look exactly like Peng Jianda!!
Still bewildered, someone said, “Where is he? Bring him over for the princess to see.”
Only then did Su Qiuge realize that these people referred to her as a princess. She lowered her gaze to observe her attire. The dress was complex in style, and the intricate patterns on the rolled-up cuffs were exquisite.
Wait a minute…
Just as she raised her eyes, she saw a person being brought in, bound and escorted.
That person was dressed in a gorgeous plum-red court attire. Logically speaking, it’s difficult for ordinary people to pull off such vibrant colors, but on him, it looked as if it was tailor-made.
His eyes slightly lifted at the corners, adorned with a touch of enchanting red. His facial features were distinct and sharp, possessing an alluring appearance that could make others drool. However, his narrow eyes emanated a cold light, exuding a heavy sense of oppression when looking at others.
When he locked eyes with Su Qiuge, he smirked, raising his eyebrows in a mocking manner.
Su Qiuge: “…”
She never expected to encounter Xie Xinglin, who was tied up so securely. Especially the way he looked at her, it was as if they were meeting for the first time, with a condescending and sneering gaze.
Wait, what exactly is going on???
How could she have such a bizarre dream??
The palace maid nearby, upon seeing his expression, immediately frowned and reprimanded, “How dare you! It’s your fortune that the princess took an interest in a brothel attendant like you. What’s with that expression? Kneel down and express gratitude for the princess’s favor!”
Behind the gauze curtain, Su Qiuge gulped slightly.
Then, she fiercely pinched her own arm, seemingly trying to wake up quickly, but it only resulted in a cry of pain, without any effect.
What the heck!!
At that moment, upon hearing her cry of pain, someone approached and bent down, asking, “Princess, is there anything else you command? This servant is uncooperative, should we…”
He made a gesture of slitting his throat, causing Su Qiuge to pause for a moment.
Then, she let out a sigh, “Everyone, please leave.”
She wanted some peace and quiet.
Perhaps going back to sleep would wake her up.
Thinking that she was furious, those people quickly responded and left.
After the chaotic footsteps faded away, the hall finally regained its tranquility. Su Qiuge lay on the bed, closing her eyes, trying to sleep. It was then that she noticed a wisp of green smoke wafting from the incense burner in the hall.
She hesitated for a moment but decided to lift the curtain and walk toward the outside. However, as soon as she lifted the curtain, she locked eyes with the person kneeling in the center of the hall.
That person silently stared at her with a calm and elegant face, devoid of any expression.
Su Qiuge: “…”
Didn’t she just order everyone to leave?
Why was he still here?
Didn’t those people understand her words?
Pondering over this, Su Qiuge coughed lightly and said in a soft voice, “You may leave. I am currently not interested.”
Upon hearing this, he finally looked up at her directly. Then, he curled his lips and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Princess, that’s not what you said earlier.”
Su Qiuge was taken aback and looked at him with a hint of confusion, “What did you say?”
The man in red raised an eyebrow slightly, “The princess said that tonight, willingly or not, we must spend a delightful night together.”
Su Qiuge: “…”
She definitely didn’t say that.
Absolutely not!!!
Su Qiuge took a deep breath and slowly said, “In that case, I suddenly find it very uninteresting. You should hurry and…”
She came up with a sentence that matched her character, “You should hurry and get lost, wearing that disdainful expression, completely ruining all the excitement I had for tonight.”
Yes, that’s it.
She needed to project enough authority. After all, she was a princess now, even though she was completely confused. But the power of life and death was firmly in her hands.
红衣男人似乎 was slightly taken aback by her words, and his slender eyes flickered as he glanced up and down at her, seemingly thinking of something. His lips curled up slightly, “Princess, are you looking for someone?”
Su Qiuge: ?
He tilted his head slightly and said lightly, “Isn’t the princess fond of seeing others struggle and ultimately surrendering beneath your feet? Why are you suddenly uninterested?”
Su Qiuge: “…”
What is he saying?!
What kind of absurd character setting has been arranged for her?!
Damn it! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮
She took a deep breath, “Go back where you came from, or else don’t force me to take action against you.”
The man’s red lips curved slightly, and he spoke leisurely, “Princess, how would you like to take action?”
Su Qiuge: “Are you incapable of understanding simple words like ‘get lost’?”
As the man saw her ever-changing expression, a deeper smile played on his lips, and his eyes gleamed with a hint of darkness, “Now that everyone knows that I’ve been influenced by the princess, I have lost my innocence. Even if I go back, it’s a dead end. So, when the princess says this, isn’t it just a way to make me take the initiative?” freew ebnove l.com
Su Qiuge: “…”
Innocence? Tainted?
Can’t we communicate properly for once?
