Chapter 159 Endless Tenderness
Xiao Jinyan sighed softly, his eyes flashing with complex emotions: "Princess, why would you think that? Although I, Xiao Jinyan, am in the vortex of power struggles, my heart for you is as clear as day and night, and I have never shown you the slightest disrespect."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue's lips curled into a cold smile: "Xiao Jinyan, do you think I would believe your sweet talk? Once I step into that deep, unfathomable palace and face Liu Kun, that wolf-like man, do you think I could still escape unscathed? At that time, with your head covered in green, do you still think you're radiant?"
Xiao Jinyan frowned, his tone filled with unprecedented determination: "Princess, you have misunderstood me. I never meant for you to venture out alone, unprepared. I have a well-thought-out plan for your entry into the palace, ensuring that you will not only not fall into Liu Kun's clutches, but will also become the key to our counterattack. I, Xiao Jinyan, will protect you with my life and will not allow anyone to tarnish your innocence."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, yet she still couldn't shake the feeling: "What did you say? Once I'm at the mercy of that hungry wolf Liu Kun, how can I possibly keep my chastity?"
Xiao Jinyan approached slowly, speaking softly yet firmly: "Princess, please believe me this time. I have already placed people in the palace to ensure your safety."
Liu Lianyue clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with a mixture of tension and curiosity. She asked in a low but urgent voice, "Jinyan, you said you have people in the harem. Who exactly is this person? This is of utmost importance to me."
Xiao Jinyan sighed softly, his gaze deep: "Yan Daoxiu, the Yellow Gate Attendant, is my scheme in the harem."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue frowned slightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and surprise: "What? Yan Daoxiu? She...she's your person?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded slightly, her eyes revealing an undeniable determination: "Indeed, Princess. After you enter the palace tomorrow, you must find a way to contact Yan Daoxiu. She will be the only key to preserving your chastity in this treacherous harem."
Liu Lianyue's heart tightened suddenly. She involuntarily took a step back, her face as pale as paper: "Yan Daoxiu? How can she protect my chastity? Could it be... could it be that she would use her beauty to seduce Liu Kun and shield me from all the shame and danger?"
Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan quickly stepped forward and gently took Liu Lianyue's hand to comfort her: "Princess, please don't overthink things. Yan Daoxiu is not the kind of person who would resort to such vulgar means. She is skilled in illusion magic, a secret technique passed down through generations in her family. At that time, she will cleverly use medicine to control Liu Kun's nerves, making him have sex with you in his hallucinations, and you will be completely unharmed and your innocence will remain intact."
Liu Lianyue stood in the center of the large tent, a gentle breeze ruffling her soft hair, carrying a faint, delicate fragrance. Complex emotions flickered in her eyes, as if she were making an important decision.
“Jinyan,” she said softly, “Okay, then I’ll trust you this time.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan looked at her with a firm yet gentle gaze. In the moonlight, his features appeared exceptionally resolute.
"Don't worry, Princess, you'll be fine."
Liu Lianyue smiled softly, a bitter smile playing on her lips. "Still calling me Princess, Jin Yan? When will you change your address?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He stepped forward and gently took Liu Lianyue's hand in his. Her hands were delicate yet cool. He gazed at Liu Lianyue with deep affection and slowly said, "My lady, from this day forward, you will be my wife, Xiao Jinyan's wife."
Liu Lianyue's eyes were slightly red. She leaned gently against Xiao Jinyan's shoulder, her voice trembling with a sob, "Husband, once I enter the palace, I don't know when we'll be able to see each other again. This palace is as deep as the sea, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Jinyan held Liu Lianyue tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones: "Madam, don't be afraid. Once that tyrannical emperor Liu Kun is overthrown, we will naturally be reunited. At that time, I will never let you leave my side again."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue finally couldn't hold back her tears, which dripped onto Xiao Jinyan's clothes, spreading out in a blur.
"But, my husband, I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a day."
Xiao Jinyan gently stroked Liu Lianyue's back and said tenderly but firmly, "My lady, if two people are truly in love, what does it matter if they are together day and night? Our hearts are closely connected, and no matter where we are, it is as if we are together."
Liu Lianyue raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Xiao Jinyan, her gaze filled with determination and resolve: "Husband, I will be entering the palace tomorrow, so please allow me to serve you for one more night."
Liu Lianyue's voice was soft yet carried an undeniable firmness. Her slender fingers slowly reached for the tie on Xiao Jinyan's clothes, every movement revealing endless tenderness.
A hint of surprise and emotion flashed in Xiao Jinyan's eyes. He reacted quickly, covering Liu Lianyue's warm and smooth hands with his large hand, his voice deep and magnetic: "Madam, let me handle such a small matter myself."
Liu Lianyue smiled slightly and gently shook her head: "Husband, since we are husband and wife, I am your wife. Taking care of you and changing your clothes is my duty."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He realized that this woman, born into a prestigious family yet so unpretentious, was warming his heart in her own unique way. Liu Xiyu might have seemed a bit arrogant because of her noble status, but Liu Lianyue was very considerate.
So Xiao Jinyan stopped insisting and just quietly watched Liu Lianyue, whose skillful hands gently moved across his chest, each knot she untied seemed to release a shackle from his heart.
Just as Liu Lianyue was completely focused on her work, Xiao Jinyan suddenly couldn't resist the urge and grabbed her busy hands, his eyes burning with passion: "Madam, your gentleness and meticulousness are truly captivating."
Liu Lianyue's cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes gleamed with a sly light. She said softly, "My husband, I only helped you take off two pieces of clothing. Is that considered flirting? You really can't resist the slightest teasing. I don't know when we'll see each other again after I go to the palace tomorrow. You must take good care of yourself and not let other women flirt with you."
Xiao Jinyan held Liu Lianyue's hand tightly, his eyes filled with deep affection: "Princess, don't worry, no other woman is as alluring and seductive as you?"
Liu Lianyue tilted her head slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips. She parted her lips and uttered a slightly teasing remark: "Hmph, you're so glib. You can certainly come up with a whole repertoire of sweet talk."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan was not annoyed at all. Instead, his smile deepened. He gently embraced Liu Lianyue tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones: "My darling, I really can't bear to part with you. Every moment apart from you feels like an eternity."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue's lips curled up slightly, but still with a hint of mockery: "Hmph, you can't bear to part with me? Then let's just get married tomorrow. I won't go to the palace. I'll stay in your residence and spend my days and nights with you."
