Du Gu Luan Yue walked alone into the hot spring pool behind Huo Wei's palace hall. Lifting her eyes, she saw in the misty pool a half - naked man reclining against the pool wall with his back to her.
Huo Wei had broad shoulders. The arms of this young general were particularly muscular. Lazily resting on the edge of the pool, one could sense his powerful strength from afar.
On his well - defined broad back, beads of sweat oozed out of his body and, one by one, trickled down his sexy contours into the warm pool water.
She quietly walked behind Huo Wei and reached out her soft, jade - like hands to massage his shoulders. Her voice was gentle: "Your Highness, the Prince of Yuzhang, is of such noble status. It's improper that there are no maids to give you a massage while you're soaking in the hot spring."
Huo Wei slowly opened his eyes. His black pupils glinted with a restrained light: "A person of my noble status like this, ordinary maids are not worthy to serve me."
Du Gu Luan Yue smiled. Her soft hands seemed to caress his nape and back slowly: "Then can I have the honor to serve Your Highness in person?"
A tingling sensation spread across Huo Wei's back. His Adam's apple bobbed like a hill. His voice was low: "Your Majesty the Queen always likes to provoke this subject."
Du Gu Luan Yue smiled. Leaning down on the edge of the pool, she pressed her face against his flushed cheek:
"I'm here to see if your illness has recovered. Just like your father, the Queen Mother is very concerned about the Prince of Yuzhang's health."
Huo Wei raised his fierce thick eyebrows: "Since you want to serve, don't regret it later."
Du Gu Luan Yue half - knelt on the edge of the pool and kissed the lobe of Huo Wei's ear. Her scorching breath made half of his face turn red instantly.
Huo Wei pushed her away abruptly, got up from the pool wall and turned around. His thin lips curled wickedly. His voice was lazy and alluring: "How can you serve me on the shore?"
Before she could react, Huo Wei reached out his arm and dragged Du Gu Luan Yue into the hot spring.
Huge splashes erupted in the hot spring pool. Du Gu Luan Yue was pressed into the water by him and choked on several mouthfuls of water.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Huo Wei's malicious smile. She shouted angrily: "Huo Wei, I'm all wet. How can I go out later?"
Huo Wei waved his big hand and tore off all the wet and restrictive clothes on her body. For the parts that couldn't be torn off, he just ripped them roughly and directly. He was like a crazy wild beast.
Huo Wei had never been like this before. Du Gu Luan Yue was a bit overwhelmed. When there was only a thin veil left on her, she took a step back:
"Huo Wei... What's wrong with you today?"
Huo Wei's slanting phoenix eyes were now full of strong aggression. He had always suppressed his wild nature in the court of Northern Yan. Even his eyes had become much gentler. But at this moment, he didn't want to suppress it anymore.
The corner of his lips curled wickedly: "Your Majesty the Queen came here specially to test whether I'm a real man, right? Now that you're here, are you scared with this expression?"
Du Gu Luan Yue's jade - like eyes widened in shock. Was Huo Wei crazy? Why did he change his tactics today?
He had never been so direct before. She hesitated in her heart. Did Huo Wei have some trap waiting for her?
"What am I scared of? I'm just wondering if you're afraid of your father finding out. If he does, everything you've achieved on the battlefield will be gone."
There were a few drops of water on her red lips, making them look even more charming and plump. She stared at him defiantly without showing any weakness.
Huo Wei's black eyes were fixed on her charming and exquisite figure and refused to move away. It was the first time he had stared at her so boldly and directly. His deep black pupils became a bit hazy:
"He's really asking for it."
Du Gu Luan Yue: "Who are you talking about?"
Huo Wei sneered. His tall figure stepped towards her menacingly.
Naturally, he was talking about Murong Min. With a queen like Du Gu Luan Yue, how could he still visit the three palaces and six courtyards? And how could he be so easily tempted by the beautiful concubines sent to him?
If it were him...
Du Gu Luan Yue was forced to stand against the pool wall. She raised her head and looked at him: "This won't do."
Huo Wei stepped closer and pressed his body against hers. He hooked her chin: "You mean not to attack Southern Chu, right?"
Du Gu Luan Yue nodded slightly: "Yes."
Huo Wei's rough fingertips caressed her charming face bit by bit. He whispered:
"I want the military power of Northern Yan and the status of being second only to the king in the court. If Your Majesty the Queen cooperates with this subject and we achieve our goal, I naturally won't need to attack Southern Chu."
Du Gu Luan Yue was stunned. Her jade - like eyes blinked: "Huo Wei, when did you figure this out? Is it true or false?"
Huo Wei lowered his head and stared at her. In his sharp, beast - like black eyes, a flame of desire quickly flared up. His voice was hoarse: "If you ask again, this subject may regret it."
Du Gu Luan Yue relaxed her tense body and smiled:
"Okay, okay, very good... You've finally agreed. Don't worry. I'll do my best to help you reach the highest position in Northern Yan, second only to the king."
The stone in her heart finally dropped. As long as Huo Wei agreed, her plan would succeed.
Saying that, she pushed Huo Wei away on her own and was about to leave happily without any nostalgia. She wouldn't need to seduce Huo Wei anymore.
Huo Wei turned around and looked at her back. His eyebrows frowned slightly: "Who said you could leave?"
Du Gu Luan Yue stopped in her tracks. Coming back to her senses, her face showed no charm but only clarity: "Yes, I'm leaving. I'll go back and figure out a way for you."
Huo Wei's eyebrows instantly drooped. He walked out of the water, grabbed her slender waist tightly:
"You mean all the things you said to me before were false, and your only purpose was to make me give up attacking Southern Chu, right?"
Du Gu Luan Yue saw the anger in Huo Wei's eyes and quickly softened her tone: "I never lied to you. I hope you'll be well and achieve your goal as soon as possible."
Huo Wei's thin lips curled sarcastically. He didn't pursue the matter anymore. A domineering kiss came crashing down. His aggressive tongue pried open her teeth, and their breaths intertwined violently:
"We'll cooperate in the court affairs. You and I should also cooperate in private."
Du Gu Luan Yue felt suffocated but didn't dare to push him away obviously for fear of angering him.
It seemed that she had to do things for him and sacrifice herself as well?
It seemed a bit of a loss, and she was a bit reluctant. Since Huo Wei had already agreed, she naturally didn't want to do this. She hesitated and got a bit distracted.
Huo Wei noticed and felt a bit unhappy: "Be more serious."
Du Gu Luan Yue's hands were flailing in the pool water. Their bodies were so close that she found Huo Wei was soaking in the hot spring naked underwater. Her palm accidentally touched something as hard as a stick.
She was instantly shocked and quickly moved her hand away. Her mind finally reacted. Huo Wei didn't have any hidden illness at all. He was a normal man.
Huo Wei raised his slanting eyes and smiled: "Why are you shy and dodging? It's not your first time seeing a man's thing."
Du Gu Luan Yue was stunned. It was indeed her first time seeing and touching such a thing. A sense of shyness welled up in her heart: "Shouldn't we talk about the cooperation first?"
Huo Wei hugged her tighter and tighter. The pool water was getting hotter and hotter. Under the water, Huo Wei boldly grabbed her snow - white thigh: "Open."
