Foolish Beauty Is Bound to the Sage Emperor Nurturing System Chapter 62
Chapter 62: Forcibly Kissed by the Regent King
“…”
Within the curtains of the dragon bed, there was silence.
Su Jingzhi still held Wei Wanlan, unwilling to let go, while the latter remained hidden in his arms, like a small animal seeking refuge in its nest.
If an outsider were present, they would surely think the two were intimately close.
But the conversation was strange from beginning to end, revealing that both harbored ulterior motives.
The Regent King closed his eyes and gently breathed in, feeling his nerves twitch uncontrollably: preparing to try a different approach.
He gave Wei Wanlan a chance to rephrase, his large hand smoothing the wrinkles in Wei Wanlan’s undergarment:
“Say it again.”
However, Wei Wanlan was completely unaware of the growing danger in the Regent King’s tone.
Wei Wanlan was still thinking about Xiao Ji, who had been dragged out of Zi Chen Palace because of him. Minister Xiao had told him the story of the Regent King using the Yellow River flood to eliminate his enemies and establish his authority.
—So Minister Xiao…would he also be charged with trespassing into the emperor’s sleeping quarters and…killed?
His good friend was going to die.
A friend he had just made.
Wei Wanlan’s ears trembled: He didn’t want to harm anyone.
He massaged the Regent King, relieving his pain, doing a good deed.
Trying to use this to plead with the big villain to spare Xiao Ji’s life was also a good deed. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with doing two good deeds.
So Wei Wanlan really did express his request again. This time, the meaning was clearer:
“I think I’ve been pretty good. I want to ask you to release Xiao Ji. I’ll be even better in the future~”
However, Su Jingzhi’s hand on his back suddenly stiffened.
His fingers climbed upward.
The Regent King used his calloused fingertips to press against Wei Wanlan’s nape and pinched the skin there with his thumb and forefinger.
Wei Wanlan’s body suddenly felt as if it had been electrocuted. He flinched, feeling like a cat being lifted from behind by its neck. Wei Wanlan arched his back, making a few whimpering sounds:
“Wahh QAQ”
Trying to act cute. Attempting to get away with it. It didn’t work.
Su Jingzhi lowered his brows and eyes, pinching him while asking, softening his tone, as if giving the little fool time to reconsider for a third time:
“Your attentiveness towards this King…is it because of someone else?”
Wei Wanlan was silent for a moment, shaking his head. Not entirely.
But this wasn’t the time to worry about that!
A moment later, perhaps Xiao Ji’s head would be gone. The Imperial Guards’ efficiency was not to be underestimated. He had witnessed the killing of Cui Minghai; it only took one strike. It was over in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Wei Wanlan became even more anxious.
He felt restless in the Regent King’s arms, twisting his body like a jumping fish.
His concern for the innocent life was misinterpreted by Su Jingzhi as Wei Wanlan’s deep worry and unease.
Su Jingzhi’s heart became irritable, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter:
He certainly wouldn’t kill someone out of jealousy, but merely throwing Xiao Ji out of Zi Chen Palace…what did Wei Wanlan think of him?
—Or was Xiao Ji really that important to Wei Wanlan?
As important as he was to Wei Wanlan, causing him to worry incessantly and making him lose his composure…
That made him really want to kill someone!
The Regent King’s breathing grew heavier.
Out of spite, because his inner drama was playing out intensely and becoming increasingly violent, Su Jingzhi coldly snorted.
Amidst Wei Wanlan’s increasingly urgent anticipation, he deliberately made a threatening remark to test him:
“This person privately entered the emperor’s sleeping quarters. Regardless of whether Your Majesty brought him in, he should be punished.”
“What!?”
Suppressed panic leaked out.
In fact, Wei Wanlan wasn’t good at hiding his emotions. When he heard this sentence, the dragon claws gripping the Regent King’s clothes tightened.
Being so close, how could Su Jingzhi not feel his tension?
He swallowed, his unease growing, the Regent King probing further:
“Since Your Majesty is pleading, let him be transferred to the Inner Service Province.”
—Terrible, the warrior is going to become Minister Xiao! QAQ
Wei Wanlan was shocked.
If it weren’t night, the sunlight would surely illuminate Wei Wanlan’s pale little face.
It wasn’t that he looked down on An Ruyi or eunuchs.
It’s just that the warrior would lose his life, and he would feel guilty. He would also feel guilty that the warrior would lose what he should have. Immensely guilty.
The guilty Wei Wanlan blurted out, unable to control his actions, gripping the Regent King’s clothes:
“No!!!”
But this “no,” was tense and slightly out of control.
Wei Wanlan’s slender fingertips scratched Su Jingzhi’s chest, a little painful, and it felt like it had scratched a piece of the Regent King’s heart.
“…”
And Su Jingzhi discovered that he could easily stir Wei Wanlan’s emotions by punishing Xiao Ji.
The Xiao Wan who had just been gentle and affectionate towards him, now, for the sake of preserving something about Xiao Ji, was grabbing and scratching him. How could that thing be so important to him?
Su Jingzhi’s voice was as cold and hard as stone: “This King will deal with him right now.”
To deal with him completely.
To forever cut off Xiao Ji’s crooked thoughts!
Wei Wanlan, panicked, hugged the Regent King, quickly covering his mouth:
“Don’t! Don’t do it! Don’t be impulsive, Regent King! Please, don’t touch Minister Xiao. This punishment won’t do, he shouldn’t be…gone…”
—Why shouldn’t he be gone? I want him to completely disappear.
Su Jingzhi’s brows furrowed.
When Wei Wanlan covered the Regent King’s thin lips, his dragon claws felt Su Jingzhi’s hot breath. He didn’t know that Su Jingzhi was angry, and even less did he know the real reason for his anger.
Only the breath made his palms itchy, Wei Wanlan’s knuckles curled slightly.
His watery eyes were moistened by this hot breath.
Wei Wanlan was easily stimulated physically, so he arched his back in the covers again, his voice aggrieved:
“It wasn’t Xiao Ji’s fault for coming to the sleeping quarters, he’s innocent. I was the one who invited him, please punish him lightly, I can promise you anything, anything…”
The Benevolent Emperor System could provide props, and the things stored in his head were Wei Wanlan’s trump cards as a transmigrator. How could Wei Wanlan possibly tell the Regent King everything?
He could only speak half-truths, hiding the rest.
Therefore, the misunderstanding became even more difficult to resolve.
“I invited him,” and “Xiao Ji is innocent” all fueled the Regent King’s anger.
Su Jingzhi suddenly spoke heavily, lifting Wei Wanlan’s chin on the bed, forcing him to face him, lifting his small face:
“You said you’re willing to promise this King anything for him?”
This voice was so low it was almost a whisper.
Su Jingzhi used his thumb to caress Wei Wanlan’s chin back and forth. The rough touch made Wei Wanlan itchy to the point of discomfort. This action completely stimulated his tear ducts, and tears dripped onto the pillow.
He used both hands to hold the Regent King’s wrist, softly pleading: “Don’t pinch…so tightly.”
“Anything, not including being pinched by this King?”
Wei Wanlan was silent.
If being pinched could bring back something that Xiao Ji shouldn’t lose, then, being pinched was acceptable. He could endure it.
Wei Wanlan suddenly made a bold decision. He raised his face slightly and whispered, “Then, I can be pinched. Regent King, please pinch me.”
As a result, Su Jingzhi’s tone became even angrier:
“Why are you asking to be pinched!?”
“As long as you’re not angry, I’ll promise you anything…”
He could do so much for Xiao Ji!
Why didn’t he feel as important to the little fool?
Jealousy is an invisible wildfire.
The wildfire spread.
He had just been secretly pleased that Xiao Ji couldn’t ascend the dragon bed, and now Su Jingzhi was full of suspicion.
It seemed as if he could see a scale in Wei Wanlan’s heart, hoping that the heaviest side would always be him.
But it went against his wishes.
The little fool was still thinking about someone else, whether it was because of their master-servant relationship or their intimate relationship, it made him uncomfortable, unacceptable!
Su Jingzhi lifted Wei Wanlan’s chin even higher out of anger.
His gaze lingered on his face, observing the little fool’s delicate brows and eyes. His thumb moved from his chin to his lower lip, the little fool’s lips were soft like peach petals:
…So good, so cute, how could Xiao Ji be worthy of this?
He couldn’t share it with anyone.
Wei Wanlan belonged only to him.
The Regent King’s scrutinizing gaze deepened.
But Wei Wanlan didn’t understand the overflowing affection in his eyes. Completely captured by the Regent King, forced to meet his gaze, he thought the big villain wasn’t simply satisfied with pinching him to vent his anger.
Perhaps the price of pinching was too small, perhaps it wouldn’t be enough to get Xiao Ji back unharmed.
Wei Wanlan decided to make another concession. What kind of concession?
His little head worked hard, and finally decided to cater to his preferences: Since the Great Wei Regent King was a powerful minister, his concession should naturally be related to power.
—Make Su Jingzhi firmly believe that he was an obedient puppet, without any thoughts of resisting his seizure of power, perhaps he could obtain the Regent King’s pleasure and then negotiate with the big villain.
This was a stopgap measure. Wei Wanlan tearfully pleaded with the big villain on the bed.
From holding his wrist to holding his arm, he tried his best to make his gaze devout:
“Your Highness, please, I promise I won’t touch political matters again, I won’t personally govern, I’ll just stay in Zi Chen Palace, and I’ll never go to Zhongshu Province again!”
Su Jingzhi felt a tightness in his chest.
“You said you won’t go to Zhongshu Province, you’ll never want to personally govern again?”
“Yes QAQ” Should you be satisfied now?
Su Jingzhi remained silent for a long time, as if speechless.
Because he didn’t know that Wei Wanlan’s words were based entirely on the original male protagonist’s setting in The Great Wei Regent King.
But the original plot was changed, the Regent King had a love line, so these words, falling into the current Regent King’s ears, he didn’t understand why Wei Wanlan, for the sake of someone surnamed Xiao, didn’t want to be a real emperor…
What would Wei Wanlan do in the future?
Who would protect him? What if he was bullied?
Did Xiao Ji bewitch him?
His mind became a tangled mess. Su Jingzhi couldn’t imagine Wei Wanlan’s future situation. The uncontrollable future, and the unsatisfactory present, were like knives carving at his heart. His hands inevitably lost their precision.
Wei Wanlan felt a slight pain, hissing, thinking that the negotiation had failed.
He, a little puppet, didn’t have much bargaining power. Now, to save someone, seeing Su Jingzhi’s face become increasingly ugly and his aura increasingly low.
Wei Wanlan’s concession could only be maximized. Now, regardless of whether it could be achieved in the end, this was a critical moment, a matter of life and death, he had to make a concession.
Wei Wanlan: “I’ll give you the whole world, the entire empire, as long as you release him, anything…”
!!!
In a critical situation, Wei Wanlan repeated in a hoarse voice, his crying evident:
“I want you to release him, I can (temporarily) give you the entire world… mm—”
His breath was instantly stolen.
With his words still on his lips, Wei Wanlan’s unfinished words were swallowed by the Regent King.
Su Jingzhi pressed down on him, pinning Wei Wanlan to the bed.
The hand that had been holding Wei Wanlan’s chin was now clamping half of his small face, instantly causing Wei Wanlan’s jaw to ache. Wei Wanlan could only open his mouth helplessly.
His teeth were touched by something, the Regent King’s tongue forcefully entering.
It was like an army attacking a city.
Wei Wanlan’s defenses were weak, he was forcibly conquered, his mind blank.
He sluggishly tried to move, but couldn’t.
Because Su Jingzhi’s strong and powerful body tightly pressed him to the bed, leaving him nowhere to escape. The absolute difference in size and strength between them had already sealed off all his escape routes. Struggling was futile.
And as the kiss deepened.
All of Wei Wanlan’s senses were concentrated in his mouth. He couldn’t think about anything, only accepting Su Jingzhi’s thorough search and exploration of his lips and teeth, as if inspecting newly acquired territory. The places touched by his tongue were numb and itchy.
Feeling like drowning, Wei Wanlan felt suffocated in his chest, still unable to find his breath. His hands grasped weakly in the air, pressed against the pillow. His wrists hurt.
All the air in his lungs was gradually drawn out.
He struggled to lift his body, but this made their bodies even closer, making him feel even more strongly Su Jingzhi’s powerful physique. A pair of hands seemed to take the opportunity to slip behind him, supporting his waist.
An unprecedented electric current surged through his body, causing him to tremble.
He was being kissed.
Would he be bitten on the lips again? He’s so bad, big villain!
I can’t see anyone again…
If the kiss at Tianlu Pavilion was Su Jingzhi’s revenge against Wei Wanlan and the Wei royal family.
This time was completely different.
This kiss did contain anger. He was punishing Wei Wanlan. He wouldn’t live much longer.
—The imperial power and foundation were the only gift he could leave to his beloved.
But Wei Wanlan wanted to give the country to someone else, making him doubt the meaning of what he was doing.
He was clearly the one using force…
He had already bullied Xiao Wan, kissed Xiao Wan until he cried…
But why was he the one suffering? Could Wei Wanlan understand?
Before dawn, the Regent King closed the door of the sleeping quarters in Zi Chen Palace.
He hadn’t slept long when An Ruyi outside prepared his robe and jade crown, cautiously asking, “Your Majesty…”
“Find Imperial Physician Fang again to help him sleep.”
“Yes.” Eunuch An asked again, “In the sleeping quarters, should the servants go in to serve and clean?”
“No need.”
Nothing substantial happened.
Only that Wei Wanlan was timid and didn’t know how to breathe properly, he was kissed until he passed out on the dragon bed, and then fell asleep.
Su Jingzhi straightened his sleeves; there was a piece of gold embroidery on his cuffs. He looked at the dragon cloud pattern. He got up early to go to court before dawn, perhaps others wouldn’t care, but he couldn’t help but want to manage state affairs for him. Why had he become so useless?
A hint of helplessness appeared on his proud face. Perhaps Wei Wanlan wouldn’t forgive him this time.
Every time he wanted to ease their relationship.
Every time it ended with an even more strained relationship.
Even a seasoned general was helpless.
An Ruyi suddenly knelt down, although he only half-understood, he could analyze from clues that the two had quarreled again.
Eunuch An bowed his head and advised: “Your Highness is being too harsh, Your Highness considers everything for His Majesty, your intentions are known to Heaven and Earth. However, if Your Highness has done one thing wrong, it is that Your Highness has too strong a possessive desire, which may make His Majesty unable to adapt.”
The Regent King didn’t listen to nonsense.
He just glanced at him.
An Ruyi quickly offered a suggestion:
“His Majesty is still young, he is nine years younger than you, he hasn’t experienced much, and he has no emotional experience, why don’t you give His Majesty a little more space, calm your mind first, and then withdraw the numerous Imperial Guards guarding outside and inside Zi Chen Palace?”
