Chapter 45: The Act of Love

However, seeing Concubine Qin's excited face, Han Zhao swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. It seemed that the concubine was in high spirits! Now he had no choice but to continue lurking outside the window with Concubine Qin, peeping at everything in the room.

Calling it peeping, Han Zhao found it ridiculous and involuntarily pursed his lips in resignation. Because the two of them couldn't hear or see anything at all. He really didn't know what was going on in his concubine's mind.

"Hasn't it started yet?" Concubine Qin whispered to Han Zhao beside her, her face full of anticipation and excitement.

She had thought carefully just now and was sure that the reason she hadn't heard anything must be that her Qing'er was shy. Alas, she should have found someone to give him some advice on bedroom matters earlier. Now she was at a complete loss. She couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Han Zhao didn't answer but just shook his head. As an adult, how could he not understand such things?

"Is Qing'er too nervous? Qing'er, this is related to your whole life. You mustn't be nervous." Concubine Qin rubbed her hands together excitedly.

Han Zhao let out another bitter smile. Could a mother really interfere in such matters?

"I'm still counting on holding my grandson this year!" Concubine Qin began to fantasize and look forward, as if that lovely little life had already appeared in front of her.

Looking at Concubine Qin, who was looking intoxicated, Han Zhao thought to himself secretly: It's already mid - year. Holding a grandson this year... It's probably impossible, right? Unless this grandson isn't her son's.

His head suddenly felt like it was about to explode. He really wished that God could send down a thunderbolt right now and strike him dead. Now, should he respond to what she had just said or not?

If he did, should he tell her that her wish was just a pipe dream and that it was absolutely impossible to hold a grandson this year? If he said so, he didn't know how angry she would be. If he didn't respond, she would surely blame him.

"Your Highness, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. It's better to go back and rest earlier," Han Zhao thought for a long time and finally had to change the subject.

"I..." Concubine Qin had now moved under the window. She pressed her ear tightly against the window lattice and listened carefully again. Her face was full of disappointment, but still, she heard nothing.

"Forget it. I'll ask my daughter - in - law when I drink the tea from her tomorrow." Concubine Qin reluctantly straightened up, with uncontrollable disappointment on her face. She left, looking back three times at every step.

Watching Concubine Qin's gradually disappearing back, Han Zhao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"See Your Highness off," Han Zhao said this with absolute joy in his voice. Even his eyes were shining with delight.

My dear concubine, you've finally left! If the old lady didn't leave any later, my clothes would probably be soaked through with sweat. He gently wiped the sweat off his forehead and thought to himself secretly.

Looking at Concubine Qin's back and then turning to look at the closed door, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen when the princess went to offer tea to Concubine Qin tomorrow. If Concubine Qin really asked the princess about the bedroom matters between her and the prince last night in front of everyone, then... then... wouldn't the princess be ashamed to death?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver and didn't dare to think any further. Now he had to quickly get back to his own job. If the prince knew that he was also involved in eavesdropping, he estimated that his future days would be really miserable.

Concubine Qin was extremely unwilling as she walked back to her room.

What on earth was wrong with Qing'er? Why didn't I hear a single sound after listening for so long? Could it be that the two of them didn't have sex? It couldn't be. Like dry firewood meeting a raging fire, they should have. But there really wasn't any sound in the room. Even if Qing'er was gentle, at least one should be able to hear the creaking of the bed or the moans of the two people, right? She touched her head and just couldn't figure it out.

She simply stopped thinking about it and went back, full of confusion.

In the quiet night, the gasps of the two people in the room came one after another. Mei Qingxue could feel her body trembling involuntarily. There seemed to be warm currents surging inside her body. It seemed to be in response to that bastard's movements, or perhaps her body was already out of control and had an involuntary reaction.

Damn it. She guessed it was because she was too tired. That damned bastard had just claimed to be physically exhausted, but looking at his performance, he didn't seem to be tired at all. On the contrary, she was about to faint. She closed her eyes tightly and didn't want to open them.

You liar! Although her body was extremely tired, she still cursed the guy who had deceived her in her heart. He had pretended to be one way in front of her, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this in the end. He deserved to be struck by lightning. As she thought this, the sharp nails on her jade fingers involuntarily dug into his back.

"Ouch," the sudden pain made Du Guqing involuntarily take in a cold breath. This bit of pain further stimulated his desire. He seemed to understand what she was thinking. Instead of stopping for a moment, he increased the intensity of his attack.

He really didn't expect that his little woman was quite energetic. It seemed that this time he was really going to be "physically exhausted".

He opened his eyes and looked at the woman under him, gasping for breath and with her beautiful eyes closed. A sweet feeling welled up in his heart. His lips landed on Mei Qingxue's lips again. The kiss made her even more dizzy, and a look of pride appeared on his face.

Mei Qingxue really didn't have the strength to open her eyes, so she didn't see the pride on Du Guqing's face. If she had seen it, Du Guqing would probably be under the bed by now.

Now, she was completely limp, covered in fragrant sweat and sticky all over. This was all the result of that villain's crazy torture of her.

Bastard. Wait until tomorrow. When I've regained my strength, I'll make your palace a complete mess. How dare you bully me? I think you don't want to live anymore.

Mei Qingxue kept cursing in her heart. She was a virgin for nine lifetimes. She never thought that she would be... by this bastard. But for some reason, she actually felt that this feeling was quite nice. It was ethereal, as if floating in the clouds. This was a feeling she had never had before.

"Qingxue?" Du Guqing gently called out in her ear, his voice soft and seemingly very affectionate.

"Hmm?" Mei Qingxue responded following Du Guqing's voice.

Ah? What's going on? Why did her voice sound like this? Mei Qingxue was startled by the sound she made. It was definitely coquettish. She felt her face burning hot, as if on fire.

"Go to sleep early. We still have to offer tea to the emperor and the princess consort tomorrow. It's our first formal visit to them after our wedding. It's not good to be late," Du Guqing said tenderly in her ear. Fortunately, he didn't seem to notice her strange behavior.

"Offer tea?" Why do the royal family have such a custom of offering tea? There are so many rules.

It's really annoying. Mei Qingxue murmured softly, turned over, and was about to fall asleep. This whole thing had really exhausted her. Her body couldn't take it anymore.

Seeing that she was really about to fall asleep, a sly smile appeared on Du Guqing's lips. It was true that they should go to sleep early, but their battle wasn't over yet. His little princess seemed to have forgotten what they were doing.

Mei Qingxue just wanted to turn around and have a good sleep, but suddenly, that wonderful feeling from before came from the place where they were connected, which was filled with him. It abruptly pulled her back to reality.

My God, what's going on? Does he still want to... with her? God, she really couldn't take it anymore. Her body was about to collapse. It seemed that now she could only use her trump card - pretending to be asleep.

Mei Qingxue closed her eyes tightly, recalling that the wedding had lasted all day. After entering the bridal chamber, she had been tortured by him until now. That bastard who had claimed to be "physically exhausted" was really shameless. Now it was she who was physically exhausted. Mei Qingxue thought angrily.

Although she had cursed him in her heart countless times, she had to admit that the unprecedented feeling Du Guqing had brought her made her a little obsessed. She even really enjoyed the feeling of being sent to the clouds again and again.

Now, her body no longer seemed to belong to her. It was so weak that she had no strength at all, just like a small boat gently rocking on the water, swaying up and down with the sparkling water.

Rocking, rocking, her body and his body were having an unprecedentedly intimate collision.

Wasn't that hateful guy seriously ill? He had personally told her that he was impotent, but now he had turned into a tireless perpetual motion machine. A liar, definitely a super big liar.

Mei Qingxue kept cursing Du Guqing, the big liar, in her heart. Her body became more and more weak, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, she couldn't resist the fatigue anymore and soon fell into a sweet dream.

"Oh? Is she really asleep?" Hearing Mei Qingxue's long - drawn - out breathing, Du Guqing sat up straight. Looking at that lovely face, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and ripples of warmth welled up in his heart.

For a moment, he didn't want to torture her anymore. Looking at her appearance, she must be extremely tired. But his six - year - long yearning and his sweet attachment to her made him reluctant to let go. He still wanted to take more from her. In front of her, he felt that he had lost control of himself.

His hand gently stroked her smooth lower abdomen. Her skin was as smooth as silk. Looking at her sleeping face, for some reason, he suddenly really wanted her to bear a child for him.

His mind was a bit fuzzy for a moment. In front of his eyes, the face of that toddler who was just learning to walk seemed to appear. He waved his white and tender little hands and walked towards him unsteadily. That lovely face was so similar to the woman under him. He was momentarily mesmerized. Was this the child of her and him?
