The little rabbit is obedient and is forcibly embraced by the villain

The pain in my body faded away and my mind gradually became clear.

When he saw the scene in front of him, Qi Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and an indescribable strangeness rose in his heart.

Look what he did?

What a beast!

The girl in his arms was in a miserable state. Her delicate skin had lost its original appearance. The blue bruises were covered with scarlet dots. She looked charming and pitiful. There were two bloody holes on her slender white neck, which were the marks left by his bite.

He carefully stepped away from the girl, feeling extremely irritated.

The girl seemed to be aware of the movement and slowly opened her eyelids. Her red and swollen eyes were filled with moisture and looked pitiful. Her ravaged appearance was delicate and gentle, which made people feel distressed.

She didn't even have time to react. When she saw him, her pupils shrank and she subconsciously shrank back.

However, she never expected that as soon as the girl moved, Qi Chen picked her up and held her in his arms.

Seeing the girl's frightened eyes, he tried hard to suppress the strangeness in his heart: "Don't be afraid, I won't continue..."

Hearing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and all the grievances and fears after the whole night of madness flooded into her heart.

"Bad guy." I would have ignored your life or death if I had known this!

She complained with grievance, her voice extremely hoarse, her round almond-shaped eyes were filled with moisture, her long eyelashes trembled, and crystal tears slid from the corners of her eyes like pearls with broken strings and fell on Qi Chen.

He held the girl in his arms tighter, his tone gentle as the breeze in his ears, without any trace of the brutality from earlier: "Yes, I am."

"Beast."

"Yes, I am."

"You raped me."

"Well, I'm...I'm sorry."

Bai Zitu felt weak all over, and his limbs were aching unbearably. If he moved a little, he would feel piercing pain in his lower body.

"Don't move, I'll help you clean up."

After saying that, Qi Chen ignored Bai Zitu's reaction, picked up the girl carefully as if she were a treasure, and headed towards the hot spring in the hall.

There were no hot springs in the bedrooms of emperors of past dynasties, but the previous emperor of Cangwu was extremely extravagant and built a hot spring in his bedroom to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Now it is convenient for Qi Chen, as he doesn't have to ask the servants to call for water.

Bai Zitu was in a daze, and she felt that she had fallen into a warm place. The warm spring water wrapped around her and washed away all the mess on her body.

Soon, a warm current came from behind, slowly flowing through her body, and the pain in her limbs also eased a little. She couldn't help but sigh softly, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Chen withdrew his hand that was transmitting his internal energy and firmly supported the girl's falling body.

Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, her fair little face was flushed by the hot spring heat, giving her pale face a hint of color.

A ripple appeared in his heart, and a corner of his heart softened. He kissed the girl's pale lips like a dragonfly touching the water.

The desire rose quietly again, but he suppressed it and secretly cursed himself for being a beast.

After carefully cleaning the girl, Qi Chen wrapped her in a brocade quilt and gently placed her on the bed.

He looked at the girl sleeping soundly on the bed. Her fair face was no longer as disheveled as before, revealing a pale and harmless sleeping face. However, her thin eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was immersed in a nightmare.

When I think about the fact that I was the one who brought the girl's nightmare...

Qi Chen rubbed his brow, trying to suppress the irritability and anger in his heart.

In the past, whenever Qi Chen fell ill, he would suffer tremendous pain and often toss and turn all night long without a rest.

But tonight, I feel a lot more relaxed.

His eyes fell on the girl again.

Is it because of her?

While he was thinking, a loud announcement came from outside the bedroom: "Your Majesty, I am late."

The voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the palace.

Qi Chen wanted to scold him, but was afraid of disturbing the sleeping Bai Zitu, so he got up quietly and walked out of the inner room.

-

The red candles in the hall were dimly lit, their flames flickering, casting shadows all around and creating a gloomy atmosphere.

Wang Rui, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, stood below. His burly figure, clad in blood-stained armor, emitted bursts of chill in the candlelight.

But at this moment, his resolute face also looked a little pale.

For some reason, he always felt that His Majesty seemed even more terrifying tonight...

Could it be because of those assassins?

He looked up quietly, but only saw a pair of slender hands holding a teacup, with green tea floating gently on the water.

Qi Chen took a sip, perhaps because the tea was soothing, it calmed his restlessness a bit. He put down the teacup, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Did the assassin reveal the mastermind behind this?"

Hearing the question, he quickly retracted his gaze, thinking to himself, "As expected," and said in a low voice respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I failed in my duties. Those assassins were very stubborn and didn't utter a single word."

Qi Chen sneered, his voice so low it was terrifying: "From what I see, your methods have retreated a lot."

Upon hearing this, Wang Rui quickly knelt on his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably. "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I believe this assassination attempt was a conspiracy between Youyan and Yanchu."

Seeing that Qi Chen didn't speak to stop him, he continued according to his own deduction: "Youyan and Yanchu were dissatisfied with my Cangwu rule, so they staged a beauty trap, using the beauty of Youyan to assassinate Your Majesty... But fortunately, Your Majesty was as foresighted as a god, and was one step ahead of them. He predicted that they must be plotting a trick and took precautions, thus avoiding disaster."

Qi Chen supported his head with one hand, his eyes lowered making it impossible to see his inner thoughts.

The hall was silent, and Wang Rui's breathing became lighter. Only the cold sweat sliding down his heavy armor showed that he was uneasy.

After a while, Qi Chen raised his eyes, and the glowing red candle was reflected in his dark eyes, looking weird and evil.

He chuckled, as if mocking the enemy's presumption. "Ha. That's quite amusing. Two defeated nations, vainly trying to assassinate me with a woman. They're underestimating me... If you want to have fun, then let's go big."

So he slowly began, "Convey my order. Have those assassins' limbs severed, loaded into prison carts, and paraded along the border between the two countries for the people of both countries to see. This is the fate of those who attempted to assassinate me. Oh, and have the historians record this incident in detail, publish it in a book, and distribute it to the courts and the people of both countries..."

"As for the beauty from Youyan..."

Qi Chen paused slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The rhythmic sound echoed in the silent hall.

The image of a delicate girl like a willow swaying in the wind flashed through his mind. He recalled how she was under him, tears in her eyes, sobbing softly as she endured it.

I just used a little strength and she started to whimper and act very coquettishly.

Qi Chen couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

Being so pampered, she needs to be well cared for.

Thinking about it, he continued, "I love her very much. I will make her a noble concubine and bestow upon her the title Wan. I will announce this to the world. I will let the two countries know that the beauty they sent me has now become my favorite concubine. Not only did their conspiracy fail, but it has also become a good story for me. In the future, at the palace banquet, she will be dressed in her best attire so that the envoys from the two countries can see it with their own eyes."

Wang Rui was horrified and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that acting this way will damage your holy reputation."

Qi Chen picked up the teacup, took another sip, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Holy name? Wang Rui, you came back with me from Youyan, you are naturally familiar with my methods. Do you think I care about these empty names?"

Wang Rui lowered his head, feeling sorry for his Majesty.

Think about the many corrupt officials in the court who only know how to squeeze the people's money and line their own pockets, without caring about the lives of the people.

However, those treacherous ministers formed cliques for personal gain, misled the people, disrupted the government, caused government orders to be blocked and loyal and good people to be wronged.

Since Qi Chen ascended the throne, he has been vigilant and has dealt with such treacherous individuals with swift and drastic measures. Some have their property confiscated and their clans exterminated to serve as a warning to others; others have been dismissed from their posts, investigated, and never employed again.

Everything he did was to clean up the bureaucracy, restore clarity to the court, and seek the welfare of the people of the world.

Your Majesty has devoted himself to the country and the people, but in the end he was labeled a tyrant.

Wang Rui was still unwilling to give in and continued his advice: "Your Majesty, that woman's origins are unknown. Do you really want to make her a noble concubine?"

The smile on Qi Chen's face instantly disappeared. His eyes became deep and majestic, with the oppressive feeling unique to an emperor. He stared at Wang Rui and said, "Wang Rui, when did it become your turn to dictate my behavior?"

Wang Rui was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly knocked his head to the ground, saying, "I am guilty."

Qi Chen didn't want to talk to Wang Rui anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Go away."

Then, he returned to the bed, lay down beside Bai Zitu with his clothes on, and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms domineeringly.

His eyes were fixed on the sleeping girl in his arms. He slowly gave her a kiss on her slightly pale lips, then held her tighter and fell into a deep sleep with a hint of satisfaction.
