TSFLIP Chapter 284

She didn’t blush or get nervous.

Gu Yan, naturally, responded calmly, “Why does Your Majesty want to sleep with me?”

The word “sleep” was said so casually by both the man and the woman, neither of them feeling the least bit embarrassed.

Feng Guang had seen him act even more frivolous before, so she quickly accepted his sudden shift to a more teasing tone. She felt there was nothing to hide from him and answered seriously, “I like you, that’s why I want to sleep with you.”

“I see,” Gu Yan replied, his reaction to her confession completely calm. He asked, “Is there anyone else who also makes Your Majesty feel the urge to sleep with him?”

Feng Guang pouted, “I’ve been focused on sleeping with you ever since I was little. I’ve put in a lot of effort for it, so where would I have time to think about other men? Besides, have you ever seen another man by my side?”

She was speaking the truth.

Gu Yan seemed quite satisfied. He lowered his head and kissed her lips in a long, heated kiss. Afterward, he hoarsely said, “Your Majesty should always keep liking me, or else…”

“Or else what?”

“Or else I’ll be unable to resist cutting off your feet and keeping you by my side, where you can’t go anywhere.”

Gu Yan didn’t wait for her response; instead, he picked her up and placed her on the bed. She resisted for a moment, but only for a moment. Soon, she softened in his kiss, unable to form a complete sentence.

Outside the tent, hearing the sounds from inside, the four of them lowered their heads, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Once the poison was neutralized, the soldiers on the frontier quickly regained their strength. Under the leadership of the heroic and skilled Lan Tingrong, they reclaimed the lost land from the hands of the Kingdom of Longtiao.

Shen Xu only stayed for three days. Before leaving, he told Xia Fengya, “I’ll come find you again,” and hurriedly departed. Feng Guang saw him off warmly because it was thanks to him bringing the antidote that the war had been turned around in Dongyun Kingdom. This was a deal well worth it!

Once the military crisis was resolved, Feng Guang, following Gu Yan’s suggestion, also returned to the capital. Xia Fengya, glancing at Lan Tingrong, shyly said that she wanted to stay a little longer. Naturally, Mu Liang followed her decision to stay as well.

Feng Guang shrugged, showing no concern. She had never been one to break up lovers, even though there was only one pair of lovebirds and several “wild birds” in her harem. They didn’t mind, so why should she care?

Finally, accompanied by Gu Yan, she set off for the imperial capital.

The journey back was quicker than the trip there. Less than half a month later, they returned to the capital. Except for the Duke of the Kingdom, Lan Qian, who was ill at home, everyone from the court was kneeling at the palace gates to greet them. When they saw the carriage, first Prince Qian got out, then he helped the Empress down. Their hands remained clasped for a long time, and many people pretended not to notice, secretly feeling pity for Prince Qian. Who would have thought that even he couldn’t escape the Empress’s torment? It was truly heartbreaking.

“We welcome Your Majesty back!”

“Alright, alright, get up,” Feng Guang waved her hand, “The gesture is appreciated, now go rest.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” the crowd stood up.

Feng Guang entered the palace, and Gu Yan headed back to his residence. Neither of them showed any reluctance to part, but that night, she couldn’t sleep.

During the days in the military camp, she had gotten used to having Gu Yan by her side. Back then, she had been rather indifferent to it. Now, with him gone, she couldn’t sleep at all.

Feng Guang tossed and turned, then finally got up and called out, “Little me, I want some water.”

There was no answer.

She called again, “Little me, Little Hao, Little Wu, Little Liao!”

Silence.

It was then that she realized something was wrong when she saw the steward, Qian Qi, walk in. Normally, Qian Qi would never enter her chambers unless summoned, especially not at night.
