Chapter 443: Chapter 444 Who Made Him So Attractive!

“Of course, I know.”

Qi Yue chuckled, enumerating the major events that had recently unfolded as if they were common knowledge.

Even though she hadn’t paid much attention to military news lately, she made sure that any matters involving Zhao Xiyan were compiled by the Black Feather Guard and reported to her.

Many issues she hadn’t discussed in the meetings with her close advisors didn’t mean she was unaware of them.

For instance: The Emperor of Donggao had suddenly fallen seriously ill, and Song Qingshan had been called back, stripped of his military authority.

Meanwhile, in Beiyuan, more and more County Governments and local powers unilaterally declared their defection from the Beiyuan court and surrendered to Zhao Xiyan.

Where the hearts of the people went, the battles on Beiyuan’s side simply couldn’t commence.

In the case of Western Chu, because of Qi Yue’s actions that day, they unilaterally withdrew from the alliance with the four countries and were now hastily returning the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

After she sent a letter last time, the tall and chubby generals descended with their armies in hot air balloons the very next day.

The old Emperor had intended to do something, especially with Qin Zhongyu constantly inciting him.

But all it took was for the tall and chubby generals to toss a few Small Fragrant Melons, creating a commotion, and the Western Chu Emperor immediately knelt.

Qin Zhongqi then took the opportunity to talk about his usual discourse on preserving the common people of the dawn, and the old Emperor had no choice but to give in and proclaimed to the world.

—The 300,000 soldiers of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun withdrew completely, returning the lands and cities into the hands of Zhao Xiyan.

This matter even stirred unrest in the Beiyuan court.

Some officials argued that since Yanyun’s sixteen prefectures were originally Beiyuan territory, they should be returned to Beiyuan if at all.

As a result, actually, two Princes fought over who would travel to Nanyue, but on their way, their whereabouts became unknown.

Later, it was said that they were killed by opposing forces on the road. Others speculated that the two brothers had attempted a failed coup and died killing each other in the process.

And yet another version claimed that vagrants along the way, seeing them in luxurious garments, robbed and then killed them.

This last account was said to be the most reliable.

After all, rhymes have long been circulating throughout the land of Beiyuan.

One such rhyme goes: “Willing to be a dog for the common folk, eating the blood of the royal family raw.”

It illustrates the populace’s deep-seated hatred towards the Beiyuan royal family.

By now, the various Princes of the Beiyuan royal family had almost all been destroyed through successive battles for succession.

Only the ninth Prince and the fifteenth Prince, whom Prime Minister Lin staunchly protected, were still causing a stir.

And this fifteenth Prince was still in swaddling clothes.

Even laypeople could guess what the powerful Prime Minister Lin had in mind.

Although Nanyue was holding its forces at bay, given the current situation, if a real fight were to break out, Nanyue’s chances of winning were slim.

It would only result in widespread destruction and the displacement of common folks.

All in all, these were all signs of a favorable turn in the situation.

Having shared this information, Qi Yue stretched out a finger and poked Zhao Xiyan’s turned back.

“Don’t think that just because I’m here, my heart isn’t worrying about you. Are you still angry?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan quickly turned his head, his eyes intently on her.

“Then come back with me, and be by my side every day.”

Qi Yue helplessly curved the corners of her mouth.

“Can we have a serious talk? Stop harping on this one demand.”

At her words, Zhao Xiyan’s expression momentarily darkened.

“I’ve known for a long time, ever since the day you left the Longnan County Government, that you had been considering coming to Nanyue.”

Saying this, he turned his face away again, feigning anger.

This statement took Qi Yue by surprise.

She sniggered and, without regard for the proud man’s ongoing annoyance, leapt onto him to embrace his waist from behind, burying her entire face in the nape of his neck.

“Mm-hmm, you really are the worm in my belly, able to see through everything… I haven’t talked about these things with Qingzhu and the others, how did you know? You’re so impressive, truly worthy of being my dear husband, perfectly in tune with me, we share a telepathic bond…”

Zhao Xiyan couldn’t help but feel both irritated and amused by her barrage of words.

Realizing he couldn’t maintain a stern face any longer, he simply turned around and pinned Qi Yue beneath him.

“What do you mean by ‘the worm in my belly’? Can’t you speak more nicely…”

Qi Yue laughed, out of breath.

“Husband, you truly are my soulmate, my one and only love. Everything I think of, and even what I don’t, you cover it all…”

Before she could finish, her lips were firmly sealed with a kiss.

Whimpers arose as the two entangled into a heated kiss on the sofa.

The living room turned into a battlefield, and soon the bedroom was also engulfed by the flames of love.

Who knows how much time passed before everything finally settled down.

By that time, Qi Yue didn’t want to move a muscle.

This Zhao Xiyan was a devil in the guise of desire.

Simply unreasonable!

“I want water—”

Limp in the blankets, she moaned softly, her voice as thin as a cat’s meow.

A hand reached out, propping her up from the blankets, “Here, let me feed you some water…”

With her eyes closed, Qi Yue parted her lips, waiting to be fed, when suddenly a chill on her lips and a familiar cool fragrance invaded her throat, startling her into opening her eyes.

“Zhao Xiyan, when will you ever stop?”

Post-sated, Zhao Xiyan’s face was all smiles, the irritation from earlier nowhere to be seen.

“Isn’t mouth to mouth feeding better?”

Qi Yue rolled her eyes, “My mouth is dry…”

“I’ve prepared for that a while ago…”

With a light chuckle, Zhao Xiyan held her in his embrace and then reached for the water glass on the bedside table.

The water was warm.

Qi Yue gulped down the cup of water in one go, feeling revived.

“Want more?”

“Yes, this time, tea, and you go make it…”

Qi Yue slipped out of Zhao Xiyan’s hands and gave him a shove.

“Hurry up…”

She had to guard against this man’s primal urges at any moment.

Zhao Xiyan chuckled and tapped her forehead with his middle finger.

“You, with your little schemes… I’ll let you off for today…”

Qi Yue flicked her lips.

Not let off, what else could he do?

Surely he didn’t expect to go all night?

Only when she saw Zhao Xiyan putting on clothes and leaving did Qi Yue get out of bed, quickly tidied up, and went to the living room.

The once messy living room had reverted to its original state. Zhao Xiyan, in his loose robe, sat in front of the tea table staring blankly at the nearly boiling kettle.

Lazy like a banished immortal, noble as if a heavenly god descended to earth.

That exquisite face was dreamlike yet so tangibly real.

Qi Yue stopped in her tracks, her eyes unwavering as they examined the man before her, and her once-calm heart began to flutter again.

Suddenly, vapor from the boiling kettle started to diffuse, adding a moist and humid touch to the air in front of him.

As he lifted his hand to grasp the kettle, a corner of his loose robe fell, revealing a stretch of porcelain white skin on his chest.

Burrowed between a pair of sharp collarbones was a deep neck hollow, and just above it, the lightning-like outline of his Adam’s apple.

Qi Yue’s face flushed instantly.

She saw a tiny bite mark on it, her own!

Images from earlier stormed into her mind, and she quickly bit her lip.

It seemed that some things couldn’t be solely blamed on Zhao Xiyan?

No, it was all his fault.

Who made him so irresistible!

“Yueyue, what are you looking at so intently?” Zhao Xiyan’s teasing voice exploded in her ear.
