After nodding, Murong Min didn't say anything else. His steps were not fast, and he would turn back to take a look every few steps.
Du Gu Luanyue immediately caught on to his thoughts. Murong Min was a very suspicious emperor, so she said again, "Your servant doesn't want Your Majesty to leave anymore. What if Your Majesty goes to find those beautiful concubines later? Why not get into the water now and play with your servant for a while?"
She looked at Murong Min provocatively. Her charming eyes were truly alluring. She pounced on him, wrapped herself around him, and kissed his cheek.
Murong Min had really been exhausted from having fun these days. If he were to do it one more time, he was afraid he wouldn't be up to it. Moreover, they were in an open - air hot spring pool.
After all, he and Du Gu Luanyue were the emperor and empress of Northern Yan. They couldn't act so absurdly.
He put his arm around the empress's shoulder. "Don't be in a hurry. I'll go back and rest first. Wait for the empress to finish dressing and come back."
Du Gu Luanyue gave him a complaining look and coquettishly said, "Your servant will come soon. Your Majesty mustn't find anyone else at night."
As soon as Murong Min left, Du Gu Luanyue quickly jumped into the quiet pool and looked around for Huo Wei.
Finally, she found Huo Wei and the guard underwater. She struggled to lift Huo Wei's back and dragged his head out of the water.
At this time, Aunt Meijiang stumbled over, pressing her dizzy head. "Your Highness, this old servant is here!"
She had just regained consciousness. She found herself lying in the room. Immediately realizing something was wrong, she quickly arranged for her trusted maids to guard outside and then rushed over.
Aunt Meijiang was stronger. But when she completely dragged Huo Wei and the guard out of the water, her eyes widened in shock.
Huo Wei and the guard were both curled up beside the pool, their eyes tightly closed.
Huo Wei was pinching the guard's neck with one hand and covering his nose and mouth tightly with the other. His legs were wrapped around and locked the guard's lower body, completely immobilizing him.
Huo Wei's body was stiff and couldn't be loosened. Aunt Meijiang tried very hard but couldn't break his hold.
Du Gu Luanyue was extremely shocked. Her pale and plump lips trembled slightly. She knelt beside Huo Wei, her fingertips numb as she reached out and then retracted her hand.
Aunt Meijiang reached out to feel the guard's breath. "Your Highness, this guard is already dead."
Du Gu Luanyue didn't dare to feel Huo Wei's breath. She was also afraid that Huo Wei was dead. She quickly and with great effort separated the two with Aunt Meijiang and laid Huo Wei flat on the ground.
She quickly untied the brocade robe on Huo Wei's upper body and began to press hard on his chest. She thought she should save his life first. "In Southern Chu, there are many rivers. I've seen people save those who drowned like this before. It should be right."
But after pressing for a while, it didn't seem to work. She panicked. A powerful person like Huo Wei couldn't die like this, could he?
Aunt Meijiang stood up. "Your Highness, you should focus on saving him first. This old servant has to go and guard outside. I'm really not at ease with those little maids."
Du Gu Luanyue nodded and continued to press on Huo Wei. "Huo Wei, wake up. Wake up quickly!"
At this time, Huo Wei showed no reaction at all. He didn't even spit out a mouthful of water.
"You're the god of war who destroyed Western Liao. After just staying in the water for a while, are you going to see Hades?"
"Huo Wei, Huo Wei!"
"Don't scare me. You can't just die like this!"
Du Gu Luanyue had heard from people in Southern Chu that for those rescued from the water, the time to save their lives was just a few moments. If this rescue time was missed, the person couldn't be saved no matter what.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She raised her head and took a few deep breaths. Then she put her mouth on Huo Wei's to give him artificial respiration, blowing air into his mouth one breath after another.
Du Gu Luanyue thought that if a person like Huo Wei died because of such a thing, then God was really joking with people.
The god of war who destroyed Liao died in a hot spring pool, and even suffocated himself.
While she was giving Huo Wei artificial respiration, when her soft lips were on his to blow air, suddenly a warm tongue stuck out, teasing and domineeringly entangling her tongue.
Du Gu Luanyue frowned and quickly pushed him away. But at this time, she was held down by the waist and tightly pressed onto him.
Huo Wei's thin lips curved up. He bit her pink lips and was reluctant to let go, tightly entangled with her soft lips.
She pushed Huo Wei away forcefully. "Crazy!"
Huo Wei slowly got up from the ground. His long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly raised. He stretched out his cold - white and slender fingers and gently brushed her soft lips.
Du Gu Luanyue's red silk dress was wet and hanging on the ground. It was half - slipped off her fragrant shoulders, revealing her fair and jade - like skin.
The round mounds on her chest showed their delicate shape through the silk dress, emitting a more alluring milky - white color.
The man's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice was deep and magnetic. "Let's do it one more time."
Du Gu Luanyue stepped back, frowning. "Huo Wei, you're really crazy. You still have the heart to think about this now. I was almost scared to death just now!"
Huo Wei stood up and reached out to adjust her semi - transparent silk dress, lifting the thin silk from her arm to her shoulder. "If I don't think about this when you're dressed like this, wouldn't I really be a eunuch? After all, this king is only twenty years old, a young and vigorous man."
Aunt Meijiang brought clean palace clothes and silk handkerchiefs and stood aside. "Your Highness, you should go back to your own palace as soon as possible."
Du Gu Luanyue looked at Huo Wei and asked, "Can you handle the matter of that guard?"
Huo Wei looked at her deeply with his eyes and gently nodded.
She didn't say anything more and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, she stopped and turned back. "I'll find a way to get the people nearby away later. You should still leave through the small path behind the palace. Don't go to the cliff. It's too dangerous."
Huo Wei's deep black eyes contained some bright light. The corner of his mouth curled up. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Du Gu Luanyue quickly left. The Biqing Pool was not a place to talk to Huo Wei.
But for a moment, she couldn't understand Huo Wei's heart and actions. Sometimes he pushed her away, and sometimes he hugged her and kissed her forcefully. Who was he exactly? A crazy person or something else?
After watching her back disappear, Huo Wei coughed violently for a while. His legs went weak, and he was still kneeling on one knee on the ground.
When he was on military campaigns before, he sometimes had to swim underwater. He had learned some breath - holding skills.
However, there was still a trace of fear in his heart. If he had delayed a little longer, he really would have jumped out of the water.
Huo Wei dragged the guard's body and walked while recalling Du Gu Luanyue's worried look just now. This must not be fake.
Du Gu Luanyue returned to her palace, still feeling uneasy. "Aunt, I must find out what's really on Huo Wei's mind. Otherwise, with his unpredictable behavior, I'll go crazy too."
Aunt Meijiang asked, "Then what does Your Highness plan to do now? Are you going to see the Prince of Yuzhang? But now Your Highness has been targeted and almost framed. This old servant was even knocked out today. Should Your Highness keep a low profile for a few days and then make plans?"
Du Gu Luanyue began to analyze, slowly pacing back and forth in the palace. "Huo Wei definitely doesn't trust me, not me as a person, and even less my ability. So, I have to do something."
