Chapter 784: Chapter 277: Alluring Night
Lady Chi Bi was wearing a thin purple smoke gauze skirt, which, when worn, was almost no different from being bare. As she moved, the fabric revealed and concealed in turn, utterly beguiling.
Her delicate body rubbed back and forth on Dugu Xiu’s robust thighs, eliciting a glint of desire in Dugu Xiu’s hawk-like eyes. But that was all there was—pure lust, nothing more.
"You little enchantress, I really don’t know how the Left Minister had the heart to gift you to soone else," Dugu Xiu laughed heartily, yanking away Lady Chi Bi’s gauze dress.
The room was suddenly filled with panting sounds that made one’s ears turn red and one’s heart race.
Perhaps several hours later, the vigorous activities in the room had just ceased.
Dugu Xiu had returned to his normal state, the desire in his eyes faded away. Lady Chi Bi was a beautiful concubine presented to Dugu Xiu by the Left Minister three years ago, just as he returned from Great Zhou.
Because of Yun Sheng’s refusal to marry, he was quite annoyed, finding the concubines and secondary wives of the Crown Prince Mansion utterly uninteresting.
Just then, the Left Minister ca forward and offered Lady Chi Bi.
This woman’s beauty was unmatched, and she was adept at the Four Arts. Moreover, she knew how to discern people’s feelings and had a profound knowledge of various poisons and dicines. What was most rare was that Lady Chi Bi was still a virgin at that ti.
Once Dugu Xiu had her, he was so enamored that he favored her exclusively for three years, and his favor remained undiminished.
This ti, Dugu Xiu had co to the Eastern Capital to propose marriage, and because of the matters concerning the Princess, he felt very irritated. It was also Lady Chi Bi who took the initiative to devise a plan, staying in the Imperial Palace to help him "persuade" Donghuang Lingling.
Lady Chi Bi has been tossed about for several hours, her body nearly falling apart.
She laid on the couch, looking at Dugu Xiu, who had already sat up. Her alluring eyes held traces of affection that couldn’t be entirely concealed.
The mont she first laid eyes on Dugu Xiu, she fell for this man.
But after she beca his, she found that he was not as simple as he seed on the surface.
She had his body, but she never truly grasped his heart.
Just like just now, when he was on top of her, charging like a wild horse, his eyes remained cold and indifferent; she simply couldn’t see through him.
"Congratulations, Crown Prince, on soon taking a beauty ho. Donghuang Lingling is indeed a rare beauty," Lady Chi Bi lazily propped herself up, pressing her pliant, boneless body against the man’s sturdy back.
"She is but a wooden beauty. In my eyes, she doesn’t even compare to half of you," Dugu Xiu casually tossed his long hair behind him, his hand caressing Lady Chi Bi’s slender waist.
Today was also the first ti Dugu Xiu t Donghuang Lingling.
This Princess from the Eastern Capital, rumored indeed to possess great beauty.
Though beautiful, she was a wooden beauty lacking any Spiritual Energy, a woman Dugu Xiu had no desire to even touch.
However, this was about the political marriage between two nations, so he would honestly follow the proper rituals and complete the three-day pre-wedding ceremony at the East Bright Temple.
"Does the Crown Prince truly think so?" Lady Chi Bi was overjoyed. She had been afraid that after Dugu Xiu married Donghuang Lingling, he would neglect her. But now she heard, it seed like needless worry.
Indeed, in this world, aside from the seductive won of the Sky Fox Clan, what woman could compare to those from the Ba Snake Clan?
"I never deceive, you are the most beautiful I have ever seen..." Dugu Xiu’s words reached this point, but then he paused.
In his mind, a face appeared involuntarily.
That face, though tinged with anger, was suffused with such captivating spiritual energy that it threw his heart into disarray.
"Crown Prince, are you saying that I am the most beautiful woman you have ever seen?" Lady Chi Bi had no idea that at this mont, Dugu Xiu’s heart had already flown to Java.
Her coquettish behavior only increased Dugu Xiu’s irritability, extinguishing the flas of desire in his heart as if doused by cold water.
Dugu Xiu rose to his feet with annoyance, leaving Lady Chi Bi grabbing at air, a sense of loss welling up inside her.
Dugu Xiu had completely lost interest and nonchalantly began to put on his trousers.
Lady Chi Bi had no clue why he had suddenly beco moody, her face showing a trace of shock: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, did I do sothing to upset you?"
"It has nothing to do with you. I have simply rembered so troubling matters. Donghuang Lingling, are you certain that she’ll obediently complete the ceremony and return to Hou Qin with this palace?" The reason Dugu Xiu doted on Lady Chi Bi was partly because this woman had extraordinary abilities.
She was an expert in a special thod of controlling people’s hearts and minds, with people like the restless Empress Dowager Situ and Donghuang Tianqi having previously been manipulated by Lady Chi Bi herself.
Now, the entirety of the Eastern Imperial Palace was under Dugu Xiu’s control.
"Rest assured, Your Highness. Donghuang Lingling is currently no more than a puppet. Whatever I command her to do, she will do, even if it were to kill her lover standing before her, she would carry it out without fail," boasted Lady Chi Bi, full of confidence.
"Good. Over the next few days, stay by Donghuang Lingling’s side, and ensure that the ceremony is completed smoothly," said Dugu Xiu, as he embraced Lady Chi Bi, seeking comfort.
Suddenly, he rembered sothing: "By the way, today outside the temple, I noticed so Hunter Soldiers. What are those people doing in the temple?"
"Your Highness may not be aware, but those individuals were brought in by the Right Minister. That old fellow from the Right Minister’s side has obstructed this marriage at every turn. Now he claims a shortage of military personnel and worries about the ceremony being disrupted by unruly commoners, so he recruited a bunch of Hunter Soldiers as guards," Lady Chi Bi disdainfully spoke of the Right Minister.
It was no surprise, for the Left and Right Ministers of the Eastern Capital had long been at odds, and Lady Chi Bi, being a person from the Left Minister’s faction, sided with her patron.
"They’re just Hunter Soldiers and can hardly stir up any trouble. The hour is getting late; you should head back soon to avoid giving rise to gossip," Dugu Xiu, glancing at the ti, urged Lady Chi Bi.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Let
stay with you tonight. Donghuang Lingling is nothing but a puppet now, so there’s no fear of her escaping," pleaded Lady Chi Bi.
"Once we return to Hou Qin, I will satisfy you. Besides, I just rembered I have to ask the Right Minister about so matters, so I will accompany you out," comforted Dugu Xiu, as they both left the dwelling together.
The evening breeze rustled through the bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves whispering.
Donghuang Lingling sat listlessly in a side room of the temple.
The palace maids had already removed her resplendent attire and head ornants of the day.
On her plain, unadorned face, there was no expression.
"Please rest early, Your Highness," urged the palace maids, but Donghuang Lingling seed utterly unaware of their admonitions.
The maids were not particularly surprised by the princess’s aloofness these past days and left.
The light from the Lighting Magic Array illuminated the entire room, as a figure quietly pushed open the door and entered.
"Lingling," Gu Feng, dressed as a young monk, was montarily stirred upon seeing Donghuang Lingling.
