Originally, Granny Youkong was just a passerby who stayed at "Shengci'an". She happened to encounter Ximen Yourong and was bitten by a snow snake. Granny Youkong spared no effort to save Ximen Yourong's life.
Later, it happened that the only old nun in the "Sheng Ci Temple" died of illness. Granny Youkong couldn't bear to leave the two half-grown girls, Ximen Yourong and Xiang Qing, to fend for themselves in the mountains.
Therefore, she stayed in "Shengci'an" for more than five years. Ximen Yourong also spent more than five years studying medical skills with Granny Youkong day and night.
It wasn't until Ximen Yourong was asked by the Ximen Mansion to go back to get married that Granny Youkong said goodbye to Ximen Yourong.
Speaking of which, Ximen Yourong asked Granny Youkong to wait for her for a while. She thought that after saying goodbye to Ximen, she would follow Granny Youkong and go away.
But Granny Youkong said that the fate between the Imperial City and her could not be broken even if she wanted to, so she should let it take its course and face it.
Now that I think about it, I don't know if Grandma Youkong is a prophet of the future. At least she is really "destined" to this imperial city, and the fate is such that it is difficult for her to fly even with wings.
When Dongling Yuanyong arrived, he seemed to have nothing to ask, but he felt that maybe God was arranging it, otherwise if Ximen Yourong had not been rescued, she would not have had the chance to become his queen.
However, thinking of the pain she suffered from the poison last night, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He looked at the bowl of ice pear soup again, then approached her and grabbed her hand... Sure enough, her hand was cold again.
There is no warmth anymore.
Feeling inexplicably unhappy, he shook her hand and said angrily:
"Since you're afraid of the cold, why are you going to get some frost? I've been giving you a whole night of yang energy last night, is it possible that you still want me to continue to work hard for you tonight?"
"Promote Yang Qi?"
Ximen Yourong was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. It turned out that she was able to spend last night safely because he really helped her.
She remembered that Granny Youkong said that her cold poison had an internal power called "burning soul" that could suppress the pain caused by her cold poison.
It's a pity that the "Scorching Soul" internal skill cannot be practiced in a female body. Moreover, even if the female body can be cultivated, she has no one to teach it to, because the "Scorching Soul" internal skill is rarely passed down to the world nowadays.
However, if Dongling Yuanyong helped her survive her poisonous attack last night, it proves that the internal skill he practiced was "Soul Burning"!
If she can get the "burning soul" internal energy to help her get rid of the cold and fall asleep, her body will be the same as that of ordinary people, and she can sleep warm and comfortable.
Having said that, she remembered how comfortable she felt when she woke up on the first day of her wedding. Could it be that...?
With questions in her heart, she subconsciously looked at Dongling Yuanyong and asked:
"Your Majesty, on the first night of my wedding, I fell asleep due to sleeping pills... Is that also what Your Majesty used to drive away the cold for my luck?"
"Otherwise you think you can sleep so comfortably?"
"Why?"
Sure enough, he helped her, and she was now almost certain that he was practicing the "burning soul" internal skill, which was why she slept so comfortably after he made her lucky.
"what why?"
"I don't feel well, and Your Majesty should be happy to see me, but why did Your Majesty help me keep out the cold for two nights in a row?"
When she asked this question, Dongling Yuanyong felt a little embarrassed. He clicked his throat and said:
"Your body, which is like an ice cube, keeps rubbing against me. Even if I am a ball of fire, you will suck all the heat out of me, so I have no choice but to help you. As for last night, I saved you because I didn't want to see you die so quickly.
Otherwise, from the civil and military officials down to the common people at dawn, they will think that you were killed by a few people."
Dongling Yuanyong felt that his reasons were completely valid, but Ximen Yourong said:
"It's me who caused trouble for His Majesty. It's all my fault. As soon as I lost consciousness, I would approach any source of heat. If I were awake, I wouldn't dare to sleep on the bed and disturb His Majesty's sleep even if I were sleeping on the floor."
"It's good to know..."
Dongling Yuanyong just wanted to take Qiao, but as soon as his mind changed, he felt something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and stared at Ximen Yourong and asked sinisterly:
"Ximen Yourong, you are saying that you are not sober so you are not under control, while I am sober but still lying next to you and asking for trouble...is that right?"
If she dares to say "yes", he promises to slap her to death!
"Of course it's not a shame, but if Your Majesty blames me for offending Your Majesty, I will feel a little unfair. After all, I had no choice but to lose consciousness."
"you……."
Dongling Yuanyong actually raised her palm, but her answer was not much better than "yes".
Ximen Yourong's big eyes looked at his raised palm without blinking, her face was as calm as if she wasn't afraid of death at all.
Dongling Yuanyong retracted his hand, but instead pulled her into his arms and looked down at her bright eyes that were still unfazed. He suddenly smiled coldly and charmingly:
"Ximen Yourong, I have noticed that your words are much more truthful now. Do you feel that I have given you some color, and you think that I am reluctant to take your life?"
"I have always been truthful, and I never felt that His Majesty was reluctant to take my life, so I didn't dare to make a mistake. What I just said was to express that it was not my intention to offend His Majesty for two nights in a row. I was afraid
If I don’t plead clearly for myself, then His Majesty suddenly wants to settle a score with me, and I will have a hard time defending myself!”
"Hmph, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. From what I've seen, you were just pretending to be frightened and polite at the beginning, but now your true temperament is your bold argument against others."
Yes, he had the impression that Ximen Yourong was showing weakness when she first started talking to him. But now, he clearly felt that instead of showing weakness, she had a tendency to not be controlled in any way.
Ximen Yourong's big eyes opened one after another, making people dazzled. She backed away slightly, and Dongling Yuanyong did not stop her from leaving his arms.
I saw Ximen Yourong bending down and moving his lips in a "very low posture" and said:
"Yourong has made His Majesty unhappy again, please punish him!"
"you……!"
Dongling Yuanyong's teeth tightened, it was as if her soul had automatically switched. Just now she showed her true nature, but now she pretended to be rigid and boring, which really made him angry.
"Yourong is stupid, please calm down your Majesty. Yourong, please retreat now, so as not to offend Your Majesty even more...scare...!"
Ximen Yourong stepped back and just took a step away when Dongling Yuanyong pulled him into his arms again...
But this time it wasn't just in his arms, he kissed her lips without warning, and it wasn't just a simple touch, he bit her with a punishing kiss to vent his anger...!
However, something was wrong. If he touched her lips last time just for teasing, then this time it seems that it is not teasing, but it is not just punishment, it seems there is...!
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine... oh... this old slave deserves to die..."
Eunuch Cao, who came in from outside, turned around and knelt down. He didn't know that the emperor and the empress were there... Tsk, tsk, look what good thing he has disturbed!
As soon as Dongling Yuanyong was disturbed by Eunuch Cao, he immediately let go of Ximen Yourong, who was breathing a little unsteadily.
Ximen Yourong almost lost her composure. She blushed for a rare moment and pursed her lips without even daring to look at Dongling Yuanyong.
On the contrary, Dongling Yuanyong noticed her confusion and became much more comfortable. He deliberately leaned close to her ear and whispered:
"Queen, if your lips don't speak, I think you still have a lot of merit."
As soon as Dongling Yuanyong finished his joking words, Ximen Yourong raised his head and looked at him, but he ignored it and smiled, and turned to Eunuch Cao seriously and asked:
"What's the matter?"
Eunuch Cao turned around and reported to Dongling Yuan Yong:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is waiting outside to ask for an audience."
Dongling Yuanyong flashed his eyes slightly and said:
"Let her in!"
With Dongling Yuanyong's permission, You Kouyi quickly walked in. When she saw Ximen Yourong, her originally smiling face suddenly froze.
However, she quickly reacted and knelt down to salute Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong in turn. Dongling Yuanyong stepped forward and bent down to help her up personally.
You Kouyi followed Dongling Yuanyong's strength and stood up, looked at him with a smile and said:
"I didn't know that Your Majesty and the Queen were together. Please forgive me for your rash behavior."
"It's okay! But why is the imperial concubine here?" Dongling Yuanyong let go of her and asked.
"I have only been in the palace for two days and have achieved nothing, but Your Majesty has given me so many treasures. I feel deeply honored and uneasy about this, and I don't know how to repay Your Majesty's grace. Therefore, I
So I personally stewed a cup of deer antler soup that warms and replenishes yang energy and sent it to your majesty, and I asked your majesty not to dislike it."
You Kouyi said, she took a small stew stove with charcoal fire from Manzhi's hand and pointed it at Dongling Yuanyong.
When Dongling Yuanyong took a look, he took a special look at Ximen Yourong, then opened the lid of the soup cup, smelled it, and said:
"The imperial concubine is still good at serving people. On this cold day, a cup of hot soup is good to warm you up."
Ximen Yourong's face was expressionless. She knew that Dongling Yuanyong's words were meant for her.
Seeing Dongling Yuanyong and You Kouyi looking at each other with a warm and sweet look, she suddenly felt that she was simply superfluous here.
So, she bowed to Dongling Yuanyong and said in a wise manner:
"Your Majesty, You Rong has delayed Your Majesty for a long time. Concubine You happened to be here. I asked Concubine You to chat with Your Majesty. You Rong will leave first."
Dongling Yuan Yong's face did not change color, he agreed:
"Then I won't keep the queen."
Ximen Yourong bowed his head slightly and left without any hesitation, but looking at her figure who had not gone far, Dongling Yuanyong seemed to raise his voice intentionally:
"Your Majesty, help me serve the soup quickly. I'm a little hungry."
You Kouyi listened to Dongling Yuanyong's instructions. He wanted to drink the soup she stewed. She should have been happy. However, she always felt that something was wrong, especially when she saw a bowl on Dongling Yuanyong's desk.
Ice soup, her suspicions deepened.
When she just saw Ximen Yourong, she had to clench her fists for a moment to keep herself normal.
This morning, she went to the "Leng Yue Palace" twice, but she didn't expect Dongling Yuanyong to stay in Ximen Yourong's dormitory for so long.
Not long after she returned to the "Xiangyun Palace", her dormitory was filled with gifts from Dongling Yuan Yong.
She therefore took the opportunity to "thank you", but she didn't expect to see Ximen Yourong again when she arrived at Longtai Hall.
Ximen Yourong occupied Dongling Yuanyong for two nights in a row, which made her feel resentful.
If Ximen Yourong wants to occupy Dongling Yuanyong's time even during the day, how should she endure it?
