chapter 52 A New Wife, a Forgotten Mother

For a moment, she felt dazed. It seemed as if that person was still by her side. But fate was cruel. Before she even had the chance to confess her feelings, that person was completely out of her reach.

She was slightly absent - minded when suddenly, that person took the opportunity to make advances. Before she knew it, her chest was exposed, and a hot, large hand was roaming over her body.

Du Gu Qing gently showered kisses on her neck and collarbone. A tingling sensation like an electric current instantly spread through her whole body. Mei Qingxue couldn't help but let out a soft moan like a kitten. The throbbing deep within her body made her involuntarily arch her feet.

Hearing the almost inaudible moan from the woman beneath him, Du Gu Qing found it as beautiful as the sound of a celestial being. Her arousal was an encouragement for his next move.

A certain part of his body couldn't be restrained and underwent a change. He felt an intense urge for release. The heat in his lower abdomen rushed straight to his head. At that moment, he could no longer bear it. She was his wife, the love of his heart.

He kissed her soft and sweet lips heavily, lingering and savoring. Du Gu Qing's exhaled breath was as hot as fire. Every place his hand touched made her body tremble, and there were even a few flesh - colored bumps. Each touch felt like an electric shock.

Du Gu Qing buried his face in her soft chest, deeply inhaling her body fragrance. His strong and muscular arm passed through her slender waist, hugging her tightly against his chest. Then, with a sudden movement, they were tightly joined together.

Her warmth enveloped his excitement. Du Gu Qing let out a suppressed growl from his throat. He could no longer hold back his desire. His passion sent the already limp Mei Qingxue soaring to the clouds again and again.

"You're not... I heard people say you were... impotent?"

Finally, she asked the question. Du Gu Qing kissed the corner of her mouth. His movements didn't slow down at all. Their close connection seemed as if they were destined for each other in past and present lives. After years of love, he finally had her under him.

In the boudoir before her marriage, the room was now filled with amorous feelings. Beneath the red silk curtain, the woman moaned softly while the man breathed heavily. Han Chao had to step back further, no longer listening to those embarrassing sounds.

"Tomorrow, shall we go back to the prince's mansion?" Du Gu Qing whispered in Mei Qingxue's ear without answering her question. Mei Qingxue was still lost in the waves of pleasure and absent - mindedly replied with a soft "um".

Du Gu Qing was overjoyed. It was really inconvenient in the prime minister's mansion!

As soon as the words were out, Mei Qingxue came to her senses. Oh my god! What had she agreed to? Looking at the happy expression on Du Gu Qing's face, she knew that this man definitely had no good intentions.

Feeling Du Gu Qing suddenly increase the intensity of his movements, Mei Qingxue's mind went blank. She involuntarily let out a soft moan. The sound that came out of her throat made her blush. She couldn't even believe that it was her own voice.

"Xue'er!" Du Gu Qing whispered in her ear.

"Um." Mei Qingxue closed her eyes. After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said word by word in her ear, "Can I trust you?"

Mei Qingxue's body trembled. "Husband and wife are of one heart. If you don't trust me, who else can you trust?"

Although she didn't immediately understand what he meant, Mei Qingxue didn't like his tone. Du Gu Qing didn't give her a chance to think. He thrust forcefully, releasing his essence into her body.

"Here." Du Gu Qing gently tapped Mei Qingxue's chest.

"..."

"Scoundrel..."

Du Gu Qing let out a soft laugh. After the intense exercise, his body felt weak.

It was almost the middle of the month. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He couldn't be like an ordinary couple, spending every day together. On every fifteenth night, he had to soak in the cold pool and hot spring repeatedly to suppress the cold poison that flared up from time to time. He had to endure excruciating pain. He couldn't hold his beloved wife in his arms and cherish her like an ordinary person.

"Go to sleep. Let your husband rest well so that he'll have the strength to pay respects to your parents tomorrow." He gently pecked the corner of Mei Qingxue's mouth and hugged his little woman tightly in his arms.

"At least you still have a conscience." Mei Qingxue gently moved her hands and feet. Oh my god! This was exactly what it meant by "adding insult to injury". The pain in her back from yesterday hadn't subsided, and now...

Her back was almost broken, and her whole body felt as if it had been run over by a carriage a hundred times. That guy looked as happy as a cat that had stolen cream.

What was hateful was that when Du Gu Qing was being naughty, she actually enjoyed it and even got deeply indulged.

The consequence of excessive indulgence was that he was elated while she was sore all over?

Mei Qingxue felt extremely annoyed when she saw his smug look. She reached out and twisted the soft flesh on Du Gu Qing's waist hard and kept turning it. She calmly watched the guy who was enduring the pain. "You endure? I'll twist. You endure again? I'll twist some more!"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please spare this humble one. Consider my weak and sickly body." Du Gu Qing's words left Mei Qingxue stunned.

What was going on? Was this still Du Gu Qing, the Sixth Prince? She carefully examined the man beside her and rubbed his face a few times. Seeing no sign of a mask, she wondered if he had used makeup to disguise himself. She then dipped her index finger in some saliva and wiped it on Du Gu Qing's face.

There was no disguise or mask. It was really strange! Mei Qingxue carefully recalled. From the wedding ceremony, the wedding night, entering the palace to the visit back to her natal family, that person had never left her sight. He didn't seem to be an imposter.

But his words were completely different from what was rumored and what she had learned. Knowing how painful it was to be twisted on that soft flesh, Mei Qingxue couldn't bear to be cruel anymore. She let go of him. As soon as his waist felt relieved, Du Gu Qing was afraid of being attacked again. He immediately grabbed her hands, pulled them in front of him, and kissed her slender fingers one by one.

"Princess, please spare your husband. It really hurts." Du Gu Qing frowned with a handsome face, which made Mei Qingxue burst out laughing.

"Are you really sick?" Mei Qingxue thought this way of asking was not good, but she couldn't find a more appropriate word for a moment. Yesterday, she had wanted to ask several times if he was impotent, but he had interrupted her every time.

Du Gu Qing nodded. "It's congenital."

This was absolutely true. The poison was put on his mother, but he was the one who suffered. There was not a single bit of falsehood. For years, he had been suffering inhuman pain. On every fifteenth night, he had to endure the torture of ice and fire, dying and coming back to life in the intense pain.

After hearing Du Gu Qing's description, Mei Qingxue first thought of heredity. But it didn't seem right. It was said that the emperor was in good health, and there was no rumor of any problems. Mei Qingxue remembered that when the message was sent back from the Blue Sea Pavilion, there had been no such strange illness in the Sixth Prince's family for five generations.

A big question mark appeared in Mei Qingxue's mind. People said that the closer one got to the center of power, the more dangerous it was. But this prince seemed to be the most relaxed and care - free one. He was weak in body and didn't care about the throne, so he shouldn't be targeted.

Looking at Du Gu Qing's face, there was no sign of lying. So she decided to believe him for the time being.

Du Gu Qing's handsomeness was of a masculine beauty, but there was an inappropriate paleness on his face. Looking at his eyebrows and eyes, Mei Qingxue thought of that person who would never appear again.

Their temperaments were completely different, but they had the same smell. Although she clearly missed that person who would never appear, she had unconsciously fallen deeper and deeper in her intimacy with Du Gu Qing.

It seemed as if there was something attracting her. She sighed softly in her heart. She couldn't think about that person anymore. On that day, they would have no more intersection.

Right! Tomorrow, she would ask An Ying to spread the news and see if they could find a way to cure Du Gu Qing. She couldn't really be a widow. In the previous nine lives, that damn Yama had been blind. Why did such a kind person like her have to be unlucky for ten lives?

"Achoo! Who's scolding me?" In a certain place, a certain person muttered. It had been strange recently. Who always scolded him secretly in the middle of the night when he was sleeping soundly? Did they not want to live anymore? Or - tomorrow, he would call the judge. How should he deal with that guy?

If I'm still unlucky in this tenth life... Fine!

If I'm unlucky in this tenth life, I'll curse you every night so that you won't have a moment's peace. Mei Qingxue cursed that heartless Yama in her heart a hundred times.

That certain person sneezed a full hundred times.

That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky. The red candles on the candlestick dripped wax drop by drop. Figures were intertwined in the gauze curtain, whispering and moaning. Du Gu Qing, having tasted the wonderful feeling, was not willing to let Mei Qingxue sleep peacefully. They spent the whole night in passionate love.

While this certain person was in high spirits, there was someone complaining about him. In the palace, a certain person was complaining to the candlelight, "They say that a man forgets his mother after getting a wife. It's really true!"

Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh. "Your Highness, you just saw him during the day. Do you miss him so soon?"

"Qing'er is the flesh that fell from my body. He's so weak. How can I not miss him?" It would be the fifteenth soon. Would Qing'er tell the biggest secret of his to the wife he had courted?

Concubine Qin's thoughts had already drifted away. She wondered when her beautiful daughter - in - law would let her hold a grandson.

"Your Highness, please go to bed early. It's already very late. You always sleep lightly. I'm afraid you'll have a headache again tomorrow." Xiao Yue was holding a copper basin in her hand and gently placed it not far from Concubine Qin.

"You're getting bolder and bolder. When did you start to tease me?" Concubine Qin supported her forehead with one hand and pointed at Xiao Yue with the other, scolding her with a smile but without any real blame.

"I can see that I've been too kind to you. Now you're even daring to be disrespectful!" Concubine Qin pretended to be angry.

"It's really my mouth that deserves a beating. Your Highness, please go to bed early. You can punish me tomorrow, okay?" Xiao Yue stood behind Concubine Qin and helped her take off the heavy headdress on her head.
