I am the villain, plundering the destiny of the heroine.

"By the way, speaking of mother, there is something I want to tell you."

Zhou Furong suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "More than a month ago, when I left Imperial Capital City, my mother and father also went into seclusion. Even my brother and I couldn't see her."

"So you must remember that when you arrive at Changle Palace later, you only need to meet Sister Xia and her daughter. You must not disturb my mother."

Li Xu had a bad feeling after hearing her unintentional reminder.

In order to prevent Luo Meiyu from becoming involved in corruption with Emperor Yan, Li Xu would definitely find an opportunity to persuade her with both reason and emotion before starting the decisive battle with Emperor Yan. How could he not disturb Yu'er?

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Li Xu agreed verbally, but in his heart he was thinking about how to meet Luo Meiyu.

……

……

It was difficult for Li Tianai to lead the northern army into Beijing, but Li Xu and Zhou Furong encountered no resistance at all.

Zhou Furong stood directly at the gate of the Imperial Capital City. Immediately, the sharp-eyed commanders guarding the city recognized her and rushed over to welcome the princess who had been missing for more than a month.

"Give me a carriage. I want to go back to the palace." Zhou Furong ordered bluntly.

The city defense troops naturally obeyed her orders and did not dare to ask her where she had been some time ago. They only expressed in a tactful way that Zhou Lingyu was very worried about her and sent countless generals to look for her everywhere.

On the way to the palace, Zhou Furong was shy in the carriage. Seeing that Li Xu just held her hand and sat beside her without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something, she hesitated several times and finally couldn't help but speak:
"Slut, you...when will you ask my father to marry me?"

Li Xu was pondering over how to persuade Luo Meiyu later when he came to his senses after hearing this.

...If I want to marry you, I will just marry you. Why would I need to propose to a dead person?
Li Xu did not tell Zhou Furong the true identity of Emperor Yan, nor did he tell her that he would definitely fight her father to death when he returned to Beijing this time. It was not because he did not trust Zhou Furong, but because he was afraid that Zhou Furong had a poor psychological quality and would easily reveal her true colors in front of Emperor Yan after learning the truth.

Emperor Yan doesn't know yet that he, his adopted sister and others have seen through his conspiracy. This is a trump card that they must make the most of.

As for Zhou Furong, at this stage she just needs to continue to be a carefree princess. She doesn't need to know too much. The more she knows, the more dangerous it will be for her.

"That's what I was thinking about."

Li Xu let go of her soft and tender little hand, and instead climbed up her waist to hug her, jokingly comforting her: "I'm afraid that His Majesty will mind that I already have a wife, and will not betroth his precious daughter to me."

"How can it be!"

Zhou Furong was anxious: "Father doesn't care how I marry. If he really opposes us, I will sever the father-daughter relationship with him!"

...It is true that filial piety is the source of strength.

Li Xu silently gave her a thumbs up in his heart again.

"I do not care!"

Zhou Furong pouted: "Anyway, I have been ruined by you. Even if you elope with me, you must marry me, otherwise I will never let you go!"

Li Xu: "..."

He now seriously suspected that Zhou Furong sneaked out of Dijing City a month ago not to find him to be responsible for Zhou Lingyu, but to make him responsible for her.

After thinking about it, Li Xu put his arms around Zhou Furong's slender waist and lifted her up, then sat down with her round and firm buttocks on his thighs.

"Ah~ What are you doing......"

Zhou Furong was startled by the sudden cry, then turned her head nervously to look at the curtain of the carriage, fearing that the soundproofing array in the carriage could not block out the sound of Li Xu's audacious actions.

"Don't you dare?"

Li Xu raised his lips in a mischievous way, deliberately provoking her: "Leng'er was much more proactive and natural than you when she was in the carriage before."

"you!"

Zhou Furong really fell for this provocation, and her charming face instantly turned red.

"This...what's there to be afraid of!"

"Kiss me if you dare."

Zhou Furong twisted her hips, as if ready to slide off Li Xu's thighs at any time, her beautiful eyes rolling around, still nervously paying attention to the carriage curtain behind her.

The soundproofing array on the carriage could only block out the noise coming from inside the carriage, but it could not block out the noisy voices coming from the streets outside, which reached the ears of the two people very clearly.

"You wish... who would be happy to kiss you!"

"After you kiss me, I will go to see His Majesty tomorrow."

Zhou Furong was seduced and her heart was beating fast. She knew that the rapist went to see her father for the sake of their marriage.

After a slight hesitation, she glanced nervously behind her with her beautiful eyes, carefully pursed her rosy lips, and kissed Li Xu on the mouth as accurately as a dragonfly touching the water.

The surrounding environment was too inappropriate to challenge her heart. Zhou Furong's chest was beating violently, as if there was a lively deer locked inside. She wanted to kiss Li Xu lightly and then slide down from the legs of the rapist. Unexpectedly, the moment her four lips touched each other, a pair of strong and powerful hands firmly held her waist and hips.

"Sizzle, sizzle, slurp..."

Li Xu passionately kissed the fragrant and alluring lips in front of him, and within a moment, Zhou Furong's eyes were blurred and her pretty face was hot, and the blush went straight from her ears to her neck.

"How is it? Will it be more exciting than the night when Xiao Yan confessed his love to you?"

Li Xu was still not satisfied and opened her mouth to ask.

Zhou Furong lay in his arms, panting for a long time before she recovered. She spat in a bad mood, "I'm stimulating you, you big-headed ghost!"

She was indeed very stimulated, and was afraid that Li Xu would continue to stimulate her to the end like he did the night Xiao Yan confessed to her, so she struggled and twisted her hips, trying to slip away from his arms.

"laugh."

Li Xu grabbed the collar of her dress with his backhand, and with a slight pull, he pulled the beautiful and luxurious dress from Zhou Furong's shoulders to her waist.

The fair and beautiful flesh, which is more dreamy and enchanting than the dress, is revealed.

"Stupid, stupid!"

"It's broken...you tore my skirt!"

The person who had just forced Li Xu to marry her was Zhou Furong, and now she was also the one who couldn't resist the stimulation and moaned.

"It doesn't matter. Don't you still have a skirt in your ring?"

"Why it doesn't matter, you... um!"

"Don't be nervous, relax."

Li Xu was reluctant to tease Zhou Furong, and gently stroked her smooth, white and beautiful back:
"I'm watching outside the curtain. If someone opens it, I will teleport you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately."

"You...well, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Zhou Furong breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't dare to relax completely. She still covered her mouth tightly with her delicate hands, not daring to make any sound.

"If I had told you earlier, would you still find it so exciting?" Zhou Furong felt that she must be hopelessly blind to be so obsessed with such a perverted rapist.
It is precisely because he is hopeless that the feeling he brings to her makes her unable to resist and fall into it like a dizzy head!

……

……

It was almost dusk when the carriage arrived at Changle Palace.

"Are you really not going to go in and tell Master that you are safe?"

Li Xu jumped off the carriage and asked Zhou Furong, whose face was as rosy as a peach blossom.

"not going."

Zhou Furong stuck out her tongue playfully: "My mother is probably still in seclusion. Even if I see her, I will definitely be scolded by her."

She had just been severely punished by the rapist, and now her two long white legs were trembling violently. She did not dare to offend her mother at this time.

Although Luo Meiyu has an extremely gentle and kind personality, and usually loves Zhou Furong very much, treating her as her own daughter, once Zhou Furong really gets into trouble, Luo Meiyu will definitely not be soft-hearted when it comes to teaching her daughter a lesson.

"I will go to Chengqian Palace first to report to my brother that I am safe, and then come to see my mother tomorrow."

"Well, you must keep the jade talisman I gave you safe. If you encounter any unusual situation, crush it."

"I see. What dangers could I encounter in the palace?"

Zhou Furong felt very sweet when Li Xu reminded her of her care. She stuck out her tongue at him and then drove away in the carriage as he watched her leave.

Initially, because Cheng Susu sneaked into the palace to assassinate Emperor Yan, Changle Palace was destroyed in the aftermath of the fight between her and Luo Meiyu. Now, more than half a year has passed, and a new palace has been rebuilt on the original site of Changle Palace.

The plaque hanging on the newly built palace also calls it Changle Palace. Apart from the fact that its appearance looks newer than the previous Changle Palace, the architectural structure has not changed.

Li Xu looked around the palace. Considering that Zhou Furong said Luo Meiyu was in seclusion, he did not send a message to inform her and strode directly through the palace gate.

Different from other concubines in Emperor Yan's harem, Luo Meiyu was quiet in nature. Usually, she didn't even have a maid or eunuch to serve her. Therefore, after Li Xu entered the room, he didn't see a single person, but only heard a rumbling sound of wind and thunder.

Is she a good sister?

After a short separation, Li Xu was actually a little nervous about being around his wife. His heartbeat was even faster than when he was being intimate with Zhou Furong just now. He repeatedly asked himself whether he was ready to be a father for the first time.

There were no other outsiders in Changle Palace except Luo Meiyu, and according to Zhou Furong, Luo Meiyu was in seclusion, so the sound of wind and thunder could only have been made by Xia Lengbai.

Li Xu followed the noise and walked deeper into the hall, the rumbling sound in his ears becoming clearer and clearer.

...Are you learning Luo Meiyu's alchemy skills?

Li Xu had a guess in his mind.

Soon, he arrived at the door of an alchemy room deep in the hall. Looking through the crack in the door, he saw Xia Lengbai sweating profusely in front of an alchemy furnace.

I haven't seen my dear sister for half a year, and she is still as beautiful as ever. Every feature of her face exudes an alluring pure charm. Her long black hair is wet with sweat, and sticks to her cheeks, neck or snow-white back.

Alchemy requires high-temperature fire control, and the temperature inside is naturally much higher than the outside world. In order to combat the high temperature, Xia Lengbai was wearing unusually cool clothes at this time, with only a short gauze skirt on her lower body, which could not cover her slender and hot white legs at all.

Her upper body was covered with a thin undergarment similar to a small vest, exposing a large area of ​​her snow-white skin to the air, and covered with a layer of crystal clear and shiny sweat.

"Fortunately, there are no outsiders in Changle Palace, otherwise who would be able to stand seeing Leng'er making pills in such cool clothes?"

Li Xu swallowed his saliva twice with a dry mouthful of saliva. He saw that his good sister was entering the critical stage of refining the elixir. He did not rush in to disturb her, but continued to watch quietly through the crack in the door.

"Didn't you see our daughter...Isn't the child in Changle Palace?"

"Not bad. Half a year later, Leng'er not only broke through to the seventh-grade Golden Core Realm, but also learned the Burning Fire Technique."

Li Xu recognized at a glance that the ball of fire spewing out of Xia Lengbai's palm was Luo Meiyu's unique Fire Burning Technique.

"It seems that Yu'er really treats Leng'er as his personal disciple."

"Not only did he teach Leng'er how to make pills, he also taught her the Fire Burning Technique..."

Li Xu was fascinated by Xia Lengbai's cool beauty when he suddenly heard a loud "bang" coming from the alchemy furnace in front of her.

Xia Lengbai quickly retracted the flames erupting from his palm, flew to the top of the alchemy furnace and lifted the lid. After seeing the ten neatly arranged pills inside, his charming face instantly blossomed with a look of joy that brightened the entire secret room.

"Success!"

"I will master the alchemy skills of my master, and I will be able to be of use to my husband when he comes back!"

Whispering happily, Xia Lengbai was about to reach into the alchemy furnace to take out the finished pill -

"squeak."

There was a sudden slight noise from the door behind me.

"Who?"

Xia Lengbai was startled and looked back, but it would have been better if she hadn't looked. When she looked, she was stunned where she stood.

The pure and seductive peach blossom eyes quickly became misty.

"Why, I've only been away for half a year and you can't even recognize your husband?"

Li Xu took a deep breath, suppressed the sour feeling spreading across his nose, and raised the corners of his mouth into the brightest possible arc.

This sentence seemed to be the spark that ignited Xia Lengbai's emotions, causing the mist in her peach blossom eyes to burst out, and she jumped into Li Xu's arms.

"Husband!"

"Is it really you?"

"I miss you so much! Woo woo woo..."

Li Xu held her soft and frail body tightly in his arms, feeling his wife's indescribable excitement and joy. He could no longer suppress the guilt in his heart, and whispered in her ear with his lips:

"Leng'er, I'm sorry, I've been away from you for too long."

The good sister was undoubtedly the woman he owed the most.

Not only was she the first woman in his life, she also gave birth to his children. However, ever since they got married, Li Xu had never been able to give her a sense of security. Every day he was either on the run or on the way to escape, causing her to worry about him every day.

"Is my husband injured?"

Xia Lengbai tried hard to stop sobbing and wanted to check Li Xu's whole body to see if he had been injured after being away for so long.

"I'm fine, don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Li Xu increased his strength in hugging his beloved wife, carefully feeling her long-lost warmth and fragrance. The more he felt, the more guilty he felt. He explained softly:
"Leng'er, I definitely didn't leave you for so long on purpose, nor did I elope with Cheng Susu as Zhou Furong said. I was really forced by the situation and had to follow her to the northern border..."

"I understand, my husband must have his own difficulties." Xia Lengbai interrupted with a sob: "My husband, you don't need to say anything more. I hope you can come back safely today."

...My dear sister is still as considerate and caring as ever!
Li Xu was so touched by her caring love that he almost burst into tears. He lowered his head and kissed her sweet little mouth deeply. (End of this chapter)
