533: Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Three: I (2) 533: Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Three: I (2) The door closed, shutting out all the cold wind.
The alluring courtesan who lay on her side facing the door on the bed had already sat up.
Her voluptuous figure barely covered by a thin layer of blue and white gauze, pale and rosy skin peeking through suggestively.
Looking at him as he returned to the room, the alluring courtesan’s eyes shimred with laughter, her voice low and soft,
“Did that Third Young Master…
catch on?”
Li Junqing took off his python robe, sat down on the bed, and lay down, resting his head on the woman’s ample and plush legs,
“Catch on to what?”
The alluring courtesan pursed her lips and chuckled, her smile gentle,
“Naturally, the relationship between myself and Your Highness.”
Li Junqing’s gaze fell on the blue bed canopy as he spoke in a low voice,
“On the way back to the capital, he knew my disposition; those won I don’t care for, I pay no mind to, and closing doors is the kind of detail that guy would certainly notice.”
The alluring courtesan shifted slightly, gently massaging the man’s forehead, her face showing not a hint of jealousy,
“Oh?
Is Your Highness scared by that Third Young Master and the Crown Prince now?”
“To tell the truth, a little.”
Li Junqing pondered briefly, then chuckled quietly,
“I, for one, couldn’t bring myself to lay a hand on you.”
The alluring courtesan was silent for a mont, her eyes softened by a tender light, she whispered softly,
“Your heart is still too soft, Your Highness.”
Li Junqing turned onto his side, his fingertips trailing along the woman’s legs,
“After the Emperor assigned a portion of the Shadow Guard to , my eldest brother imdiately arranged for you to watch over .
If I weren’t soft, you wouldn’t have survived.”
The alluring courtesan was slightly silent, biting her lip corner, she said in a low voice,
“Your Highness, you were almost made out to be…”
“Shh.”
His forefinger gently covered the alluring courtesan’s plump red lips, and Li Junqing drew in a breath with a baffled expression, “That’s why we have to follow Xu Changtian, huh?
If he died on his way back to the capital, I would truly be done for.”
A seductive flush appeared on the alluring courtesan’s face, and she slightly tightened her legs,
“The Emperor’s actions must also serve as a reminder to Your Highness.”
“Remind of what?”
Li Junqing’s voice was laced with laughter, breathy and husky, “Remind that even without competing or grabbing, one could die at any ti?”
“Yes…”
The alluring courtesan’s cheeks reddened even more, her soft voice trembling slightly,
“Everything that the Crown Prince possesses…
it could all be yours, Your Highness, after all…
uh…
after all, the legitimate consort, her ladyship is actually…”
“I’m well aware, but I cannot bring myself to act against my elder brother, after this journey, I will request a military expedition overseas.”
The alluring courtesan’s eyes grew complex, “Your Highness, I will not…”
“Enough, I have made up my mind.”
Li Junqing interrupted the alluring courtesan’s words with a teasing tone, “In such an ambiance, it would be distasteful to talk of state affairs instead of flirtation.
We haven’t seen each other in so long, we should catch up, shouldn’t we?
Help relax.”
As the words fell,
aside from the rustling of clothes and the nightingale’s song, no other sound stirred inside the room…
…
…
…
Walking out of the mansion gate alone, Xu Yuan eyed the black, dragon-harnessed coach parked beneath the ancient plane tree and slowly made his way towards it.
But as he just descended the mansion steps, he heard a familiar husky female voice rise from one side,
“Did he take the bait?”
“….”
Stopping in his tracks, Xu Yuan felt a shock in his heart.
Looking back, he saw a woman in a red robe with crossed arms, leaning against the door wall, red robe shoulders sprinkled with a little snow, indicating she had been there for quite so ti.
His keen sight had failed to detect this wicked woman.
Li Qingyan’s gorgeous crimson eyes glowed seductively in the shadow as she asked in a low voice,
“Why are you not speaking?”
A battle formation…
no wonder.
Xu Yuan realized, then smiled gently, “Why have you co?”
Li Qingyan’s long, slender legs moved towards him, her eyes filled with mirth.
Approaching him closely, she glanced at the black dragon-harnessed coach and said teasingly,
“Third Young Master, my lord has invited you for a chat.”
“With such a flashy display, pretending not to hear would be impossible.”
Xu Yuan arched his eyebrows, glanced at the snowflakes lingering in her hair, and leaned in slightly, saying with a smile,
“Covered in snow…
you ca as soon as you heard.
Are you worried about ?”
Li Qingyan was quite tall, her lithe and statuesque figure almost allowing her to et his gaze.
She blinked, her eyes curving like crescents, and her hair shining like jade in the wind and snow, she tiptoed and whispered into his ear,
“Yes, I’m worried – does that surprise you?”
“…..”
The scent of her hair wafted into his nostrils with the breeze, causing his heart to tremble slightly.
No, this wicked woman was tricking him again.
“Quite the surprise, indeed,” he said.
Turning his face to look at her earlobe, now just inches away, Xu Yuan ‘hoo’ed softly, as if sighing, “I thought you’d be too busy in the army.”
Her earlobe turned a slight red as Li Qingyan discreetly stepped back a foot, speaking softly,
“Indeed, I’m rather busy.
But we haven’t left camp yet, and with the deputy commander watching over it, I can afford to co out.”
Saying that, she then asked,
“So, did he take the bait?”
Xu Yuan turned and headed towards the inside of the coach,
“He did, and he thoroughly enjoyed it.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyan’s brow furrowed slightly, her red lips curling into a cold smile as she followed,
“I…
thought I might need to take action.”
“….”
Xu Yuan abruptly stopped, his footsteps sinking into the snow.
He turned his sowhat puzzled gaze back onto her.
They looked at each other for a mont,
and Li Qingyan also paused, her sharp and imposing eyes flashing with confusion as she laughed out lightly,
“What’s the matter?
After just a few hours, your look seems as if you don’t recognize .”
With his hands crossed over his chest, Xu Yuan stroked his chin, saying quizzically,
