The Strongest Fox-Demon (80)
Bai Yi felt free from worries and a sense of security by Chu Xiang’s side. She thought she would be so uncomfortable that she would be sleepless or crying all the time. The fact was she fell asleep beside Chu Xiang in just an hour.
Chu Xiang discovered the wound on her. It was not a light one. If there was a Snow Lotus Pill, she would recover after taking it. Even without the pill, there were also other drugs which could heal her in just over a month. Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng still had their Snow Lotus Pills, but the little girl was growing up. She couldn’t have others instructing her in everything, could she? She has to pay the price to learn her lesson. She had no plans of giving Bai Yi her Snow Lotus Pill.
Bai Yi gave Zhuang Yulang that Snow Lotus Pill, no doubt about it, so she must bear the consequences herself, heal her injuries slowly by herself, and bear the lesson from this encounter in mind.
Still, it was unforgivable that someone dared to hurt her sister!
Chu Xiang’s eyes narrowed into slits. She got up and entered the capital.
Li Yufeng has been busy until late at night every day. There were countless things for him to arrange both openly and in the dark, and the faction of Prince Qi was constantly tripping him up. He has to deal with unending schemes. For several days, he was so busy to even spare the time to see Chu Xiang, which made him a little upset.
A gust of fragrant wind blew and he noticed Chu Xiang’s aura. The corner of his mouth couldn’t help but rise. He said, “This Prince is going to rest. Everyone, withdraw, and don’t disturb this Prince without orders.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
All the palace servants on standby left as commanded. Li Yufeng immediately stood up and walked towards Chu Xiang’s hiding place. “Xiang’er, why are you here? Did you miss me?”
Chu Xiang appeared and laughed. “Why are you so thick-skinned?”
“How can I please you if I’m not thick-skinned?” Li Yufeng pulled her so they could sit together on the soft couch, leaned forward and hugged her. He closed his eyes and burrowed his face in the nook of her neck. “I missed you so much. I used to be with you every day, but since the exams started we’ve been separated. Had I known, I wouldn’t have come to the capital.”
Chu Xiang turned her head and kissed him. “I knew you missed me. Didn’t I come to you?”
Li Yufeng chuckled a couple of times. “Stop bluffing me. Don’t I know you yet? I’m the only one who would seek you out. Tell me, what’s the matter? You wouldn’t have come here late at night if there was nothing wrong.”
Chu Xiang fell into a rare introspection. Was she a little neglectful of her husband? Truth to tell, it was nice to give a romantic surprise once in a while. She has a husband who loved her deeply, so she must return his love with all her heart.
She pulled Li Yufeng down on the soft couch, hugged him with a smile and raised her eyebrows. She said, “Regardless of what happened, what matters is that I’m here. The night is long. Don’t you want to do something?”
Li Yufeng’s eyes darkened. He lowered his head and kissed the red lips he had been longing for. He also untied the sash in his hand.
Chief Li coughed twice outside the door, waved his hands to tell the palace servants to stand a little farther away, then asked his apprentice to guard the door. He then went to the Emperor himself. He knew a secret that no one else knew. The wife of Prince Xiao Yao was a fox demon.
Earlier, he also wondered if it was Prince Xiao Yao’s secret men, but now it seemed to be the fox demon. He didn’t even know when the Crown Princess arrived. The Crown Princess has entered the palace for the first time. He must report it to His Majesty. The future of this land would be amazing, and the next empress might not even be mortal. Fortunately, he has been through a lot of things in life. Otherwise, he would have been scared to death at this moment, right?
At dawn, Chu Xiang said her intention while lying in Li Yufeng’s arms.
“Those two Daoist masters with a high level of cultivation have long surrendered to Prince Qi. Today Bai Yi crippled their disciple, so they are bound to find trouble. Not many people know that Bai Yi is my sister, but they can figure things out in a few days. By then, my identity as a fox demon can no longer be hidden. You should make arrangements early. Also, I don’t like that Daoist temple. They have also made elixirs for your father, right? Are there any elixirs left? Let me see.”
“I’ll ask someone to fetch some. Go take a bath for now. I’ll ask the imperial kitchen staff to get some delicious food for you to taste later, sounds good?” Li Yufeng picked up his clothes, got up and put them on, before turning to ask Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang propped her head and smilingly said to him, “What’s wrong with you? Are you afraid that I will leave now? I will accompany you after breakfast before going back. What’s the rush? Get to it.”
“Okay.” Li Yufeng grinned. He bowed his head and kissed her, and went out briskly.
Chu Xiang comfortably soaked in the flower petal bath. The palace maids who came in and out to serve her lowered their heads. They never looked left or right, never peaked or asked questions. It was obvious that Chief Li carefully selected them and also instructed them. Chu Xiang heard Li Yufeng talk about the situation in the palace, so she was quite satisfied with this clever Chief Li. He saved her a lot of trouble.
