Rong Xun scooped Tang Youyou up into his arms. In an instant, she felt the world spinning around her, followed by a sudden sense of weightlessness.
The next moment, she was tossed onto the bed. Then she saw Rong Xun's handsome face looming closer and closer, a devilish smile playing on his lips.
In his enchanting voice, he drawled, "My lady, please."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou looked into his deep, dark eyes and suddenly burst out laughing. "Your Majesty, do you know what you look like right now?"
Rong Xun frowned in confusion. "What do I look like?"
Seeing him stiffen, Tang Youyou said, "You look like a lecher."
Immediately, Rong Xun's face turned cold. But looking at Tang Youyou's laughing face, his heart softened.
However, he was puzzled by the term she used. So he asked again, "What is a lecher?"
Tang Youyou burst out laughing. It seemed this guy didn't even understand when she was scolding him.
She blushed prettily and began to explain seriously. "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a man named Deng Tuzi who was very famous in the town. But this 'fame' is not the kind Your Majesty might think. It's the fame of being a lecher."
Here, she paused for a moment and glanced at Rong Xun. Then she continued, "This so - called lecherous desire is one of the seven emotions and six desires. Your Majesty surely understands."
After she finished speaking, Rong Xun looked at her with a half - smile. How dare she compare him to a lecher!
He raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered, "So, you think I'm a debauched and fatuous king?"
His words were spoken calmly, but Tang Youyou felt an overwhelming sense of pressure. This man could be intimidating without even showing his anger.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou let out a wail. Her face was covered with tears as she sat down on the floor, looking at Rong Xun with a miserable expression. "Your Majesty, how could you think this of your humble servant? I'm your queen. How could I ever have such thoughts!"
Just as she was speaking, Rong Xun reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist tightly. Her delicate wrist looked so fragile in his big hand, as if he could make her cry with just a little more force.
Seeing that he was about to use force, Tang Youyou trembled all over and shook her head like a rattle.
She stammered, "Your Majesty, you're a gentleman. Your humble servant is not feeling well today. You can't force me!"
As soon as she said this, Rong Xun's cold eyes suddenly became a bit hazy. His already beautiful eyes were like precious treasures with a magnetic pull at this moment.
She even thought that having such a handsome husband might not be a bad thing.
No! She was still in this book! She couldn't lose her chastity in this world.
She had been pure for over twenty years. She couldn't cross that line in this book.
Immediately, she started to push Rong Xun away in a hurry. But she saw a glint in his eyes. He looked up at her, then gently pinched her chin with his long, slender fingers.
This action made Tang Youyou's heart leap into her throat! What on earth was he up to!
Rong Xun paused for a moment. He could even see the slight tremor in Tang Youyou's eyes. She was... afraid of him!
"Pfft!"
His laughter was very pleasant. Then he let go of his hand and smiled. "Since you're afraid of me, we'll skip the consummation tonight. You and I have plenty of time ahead."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou finally felt relieved. She nodded seriously, as if she couldn't quite believe it.
Then she got up from the bed and glanced at Rong Xun beside her. He looked calm, but the redness on his neck had quickly spread to the back of his ears.
This guy... still seemed eager...
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou immediately stood up, quickly tidied her clothes, adjusted the hairpin on her head, took a deep breath, and with a standard smile, bowed respectfully to Rong Xun. "Since Your Majesty is willing to respect your humble servant, I'll take good care of my health. When the day comes, I'll surely wash myself clean and wait for Your Majesty's favor on the dragon bed."
As she said this, her face turned bright red. And then she heard a soft laugh from above.
It was Rong Xun laughing. He seemed not to believe that she could say such words.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was excitement in Rong Xun's eyes. "If that's the case, I'll wait for you."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou's face changed drastically. She was just being polite. She didn't expect him to take it seriously. In an instant, she had quietly walked to the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
She forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, your humble servant will take her leave."
Rong Xun just waved his hand casually. Then Tang Youyou rushed back to the Hall of Coolness. Her run all the way could be described by one word - fleeing in a hurry!
Tang Youyou thought she had finally managed to avoid a difficult situation. It was the perfect time to escape. But just then, there were some scattered lights in the Lotus Dock of the Imperial Garden. It was already midnight. Who could be there?
Just as she was lost in thought, a voice came from the front. It was Yue Fusheng. "Your Majesty the Queen, why are you back?"
Tang Youyou said helplessly, "What? Can't I come back? Do you own the Imperial Garden?"
Yue Fusheng was immediately silenced.
At this moment, Tang Youyou noticed that Yue Fusheng was holding some yellow talismans in his hand. They seemed to be superstitious things for exorcising ghosts.
"What are you doing with these things?" Tang Youyou asked.
As soon as she spoke, Yue Fusheng panicked and grabbed her, pulling her towards an empty corner. Seeing his panicked face, Tang Youyou was even more confused.
Yue Fusheng looked left and right. Only when he was sure there was no one around them did he speak. "Your Majesty the Queen, you don't know about this. The harem has the heaviest yin energy. So recently, there have been ghosts haunting the palace. Some people even say that it's because Your Majesty has heavy yin energy that these dirty things are attracted."
Tang Youyou's face instantly changed.
The people in the harem really loved to gossip. With so many different opinions, the inevitable consequence was that people would just repeat what others said.
Did they really think she was a pushover?
She had never been afraid of anyone before. So even in this book, she wouldn't be afraid.
According to the plot of the book, the first suspects for doing such a thing were Su Nian'e and Wen Ruxue. These two were in cahoots, and it was really hard to guard against them.
However, since it was just a rumor, surely even Yue Fusheng didn't believe it?
