Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 138 - Can’t Believe This Is His Daughter
Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Can’t Believe This Is His Daughter
The night before, Fu Baozhu had been pacing restlessly around the courtyard, unable to sleep.
Confined by her father and brothers, with their temperaments, it was impossible for them to let her meet Na Kesi.
To have her confinement lifted would certainly only happen after Na Kesi and his party had left the Capital City.
She found it utterly unbearable.
The more she thought about it, the more she considered Na Kesi a suitable match, and there could be no better marriage than becoming the Princess Consort to the King of the Western Regions.
In time, once the Old King of the Western Regions was dead, she would be the Queen, second to none but one above tens of thousands!
Yet her father and brothers prevented her from seeing Na Kesi. She had checked the perimeter when she pushed open the courtyard door and saw dozens of people guarding it, making it impossible for Na Kesi to fly in even if he had wings.
Furthermore, Na Kesi was probably unaware of her confinement, and might have given up thinking after not receiving a response from her.
Fu Baozhu grew more anxious the more she thought about it, wishing she could scale the walls to find Na Kesi in the middle of the night, but she lacked the capability and couldn’t possibly deceive the guards.
After the bell of the Third Watch of the Night tolled, Fu Baozhu’s face was filled with despair, and hatred surged in her heart – hatred toward her father and brothers for disregarding her feelings, hatred for their efforts to thwart her romance.
She lay in bed, cursing bitterly in her heart when suddenly, she heard someone calling her.
“Treasure Bead, Treasure Bead, come out quickly.”
At first, she thought she was hallucinating. Didn’t the voice sound like Na Kesi’s?
Until Na Kesi strode in, lifted her into his arms from the bed.
“My beautiful girl, are you willing to leave with me?”
Fu Baozhu couldn’t believe it; it was indeed Na Kesi. He had entered the General’s Mansion and even planned to take her away!
Her heart wanted to agree instantly, but her face showed a shy blush as she said, “But, but my father and brothers won’t let me go. They don’t want me to be with you, I… I can’t betray them.”
Na Kesi held her tightly, turning her to face him, his amber eyes gazing at her with deep affection.
“Treasure Bead, my beautiful girl, you haunt my dreams, every day without seeing you torments me. I wanted to visit your esteemed family, but your father and brothers turned me away. Treasure Bead, I miss you so much, come with me. Tomorrow, I will personally go to Your Majesty of Great Yan to request our marriage!”
His voice was so soothing, and his sweet words made Fu Baozhu’s heart flutter. Moreover, he spoke right next to her ear, causing a sensation of bashfulness she had never felt before.
Na Kesi’s large hand encompassed her waist completely. The intimacy of his touch nearly overwhelmed her, and she found herself melting into his sturdy frame.
How exactly Na Kesi managed to take her out of the General’s Mansion, she had no idea – it seemed too easy, but she wasn’t in the state of mind to care about such details.
When Na Kesi brought her into the inn and began to undress her, she put up a token resistance, quickly becoming entwined with him in a reluctant yet welcoming embrace.
She knew that Na Kesi planned to present a fait accompli, and she harbored the same intentions. After all, whether it was his looks or his status, Na Kesi met her expectations.
Although he was not as handsome as the unscarred Jun Yuyan of earlier years, he was still very dashing.
Moreover, Na Kesi’s movements were extremely tender, making her feel cherished and valued, so she willingly surrendered to the pleasure.
However, Fu Baozhu could never have imagined that, after the deed, she would fall asleep inadvertently and wake up naked in the street, with more and more onlookers surrounding her, pointing and gossiping.

She was still confused about the situation when the Fu Family arrived.
Her three brothers and the equally naked Na Kesi started fighting, without even giving him a chance to get dressed.
She, on the other hand, was quickly wrapped in clothes by the Fu Family’s servants and had her face covered.
But she knew she had been fully exposed, who didn’t recognize her? She felt an unyielding fury within, even suspecting that the Fu Family, in their anger, might have taken her and Na Kesi from the inn to deliberately humiliate her.
Fu Baozhu’s face turned alternating shades of green and white, and upon seeing the Fu brothers actually attacking Na Kesi’s “lower regions,” she became so anxious that she hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly for them to show mercy.
The situation had come to this, and she no longer cared about saving face. She pulled off the veil covering her face and, with a plop, knelt on the ground, pleading with her elder brothers to bless her union with Na Kesi.
“Brother! Na Kesi and I are mutually in love; we are unable to restrain our feelings! We have only made a small mistake, do you really need to beat him to death?”
“If he dies, I will also kill myself right here!”
“Then you and Father can collect my corpse!”
Fu Baozhu actually made as if to throw herself against the wall.
She was grabbed by the Fu family’s servants.
“Nonsense!”
Just at that moment, General Fu appeared. He looked at Fu Baozhu with eyes full of disappointment, ordered her to be restrained, and brought back to the General’s Mansion.
For the sake of the Northern Command General’s reputation, he should not have appeared; this matter could have been resolved by the younger generation.
But he couldn’t set his mind at ease and, seeing Fu Baozhu actually threaten with suicide, he finally stepped in.
Fu Heng and his two brothers also stopped, and at this moment, the Western Regions Envoy and servants, hearing the commotion, rushed over to Na Kesi, scrambling to dress him and cover his exposure, while applying medicine to his wounds.
Seeing Na Kesi beaten to such a state, they too were furious but dared not speak out.
Although Na Kesi was also irritated, he knew to prioritize the bigger picture, and upon seeing General Fu, immediately paid his respects and said,
“General Fu, Baozhu and I truly love each other. Please grant us your blessing!”
As if not even minding being beaten into his current state by Fu Heng and his brothers.
As if he really did give his whole heart to Fu Baozhu.
Fu Baozhu took the opportunity to break free from the servants and threw herself into Na Kesi’s arms.
“Father, I beg you, you have always been so fond of me, surely you don’t wish to cruelly disrupt our love, do you?”
General Fu watched this scene, his heart burning with increasing fury.
They had always protected Fu Baozhu, and even after such a big incident, their first thought was of her reputation, trying not to let her suffer more damage.
But she was obstinate, teaming up with Na Kesi, a foreign man, to plead with him, even accusing him of forcibly separating lovers!
He was so disappointed, he could hardly believe she was the daughter he had doted on for sixteen years.
General Fu no longer looked at her but stared at Na Kesi and said,
“You keep saying you truly love each other, but in the Western Regions, can those who truly love each other act so improperly in private? If you really cared for her, would you appear with her like this on the street?”
He didn’t want to utter words too unpleasant, to avoid embarrassing Fu Baozhu.
But Na Kesi was too unscrupulous, and with the goal to achieve his ends, he lay in the streets half-naked with Fu Baozhu, forcing his hand even if he disagreed, didn’t he?
Men might not mind being seen naked, but Fu Baozhu was a woman, and an unmarried woman at that!
In this way, besides marrying Na Kesi, Fu Baozhu had no other choice!
Na Kesi exclaimed loudly,
“No! General Fu, it is not as you think. We were drugged and brought here against our will! I treasure Baozhu like a jewel; how could I treat her in such a manner?”
