The prince is fierce: Who dares to steal my woman?

Hearing Liu Lianyue's words, Xiao Jinyan felt a mix of emotions. He gently stroked Liu Lianyue's hair, his eyes filled with tenderness and apology: "Madam, I really can't this time. After I'm done with this busy period, I will definitely make it up to you and make you the happiest woman in the world."

Liu Lianyue's hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes sparkled with a cunning yet fiery light. She nestled against Xiao Jinyan's firm chest, her body swaying gently involuntarily, like the most delicate willow branch in spring, swaying gracefully in the breeze.

"Hmm, husband, no, I want it now. If you don't give it to me, I won't let you leave."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were deep. He lowered his head and gently kissed Liu Lianyue's soft hair, a kiss filled with endless doting and tenderness.

"Honey, let's get down to business first. Once we're done, we'll have plenty of time to make you happy."

However, Liu Lianyue was clearly unwilling to give up so easily. Her face flushed with excitement, and she wrapped her arms around Xiao Jinyan's neck even tighter, her coquettishness tinged with a hint of teasing: "Hmm, husband, I want it now, so please give it to me now, okay?"

As she spoke, her fingertips gently traced his broad back, each touch like igniting an invisible fire, making Xiao Jinyan's desire increasingly difficult to suppress.

Xiao Jin Yan sighed helplessly, his eyes filled with both doting affection and exasperation: "Oh dear, Madam, what am I supposed to do with you looking like this?"

A warm feeling welled up in his heart, but it was also mixed with some struggle. After all, although the beauty in front of him made his heart itch, the responsibility on his shoulders was equally heavy.

Liu Lianyue seemed to see through his thoughts, a smug smile playing on her lips. She hugged Xiao Jinyan tightly, her eyes flashing with determination and cunning: "Hmph, husband, if you're really willing to leave me, then try it. I want to see who in this world can resist my temptation."

As she spoke, her fingers roamed more nimbly over his back, each touch like the most moving melody, making Xiao Jinyan's heartstrings tremble.

Xiao Jinyan's heart was completely captivated at this moment. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, but the light in his eyes betrayed him. "Oh dear, Madam, I really can't do anything with you. Fine, I'll do as you say today."

Liu Lianyue parted her lips slightly, a sly smile playing on her lips, her eyes gleaming with a teasing light, and murmured, "Hmph, husband, I knew you couldn't resist my unique charm."

Upon hearing this, a helpless yet indulgent smile flashed across Xiao Jinyan's handsome face. He knew that he had already surrendered in this emotional game.

"Sigh, I can't argue with you, Madam. Since that's the case, let's seize the day. But we have to hurry."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue's smile widened. She giggled and said, "Alright, my husband, whatever you say. But even if it's a rush, let me savor this half hour of pleasure."

Xiao Jinyan nodded indulgently, his eyes full of tenderness: "Alright, Madam, then so be it. Half an hour, and I'll make sure you're completely satisfied."

After saying that, he suddenly pulled Liu Lianyue into a tight embrace, creating a touching scene.

His lips pressed down like a storm, and Liu Lianyue, not to be outdone, wrapped her arms around Xiao Jinyan's neck, passionately responding to the deep and wild kiss. Their breathing gradually quickened, and an indescribable heat and desire filled the air.

As the kiss deepened, their clothes, like autumn leaves, silently slipped away and scattered on the ground. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, as if they had become one, and every step they took was filled with primal urges and desires. In this way, they moved step by step toward Liu Kun's bedchamber, each step feeling like walking on clouds, both light and heavy.

Finally, they collapsed together onto the soft bed, radiating the most dazzling light.

Afterwards, Liu Lianyue lay on Xiao Jinyan's chest, her fingers gently tracing his firm muscles, feeling his strong heartbeat, her face beaming with satisfaction and happiness.

"It's so refreshing. Having you is the greatest comfort in my life."

Xiao Jinyan's fingers gently traced Liu Lianyue's smooth, silky skin. His voice was deep and magnetic: "Madam, can you let me go now?"

Liu Lianyue tilted her head slightly, her long, black hair cascading down her backside. A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, and a playful smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Husband, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Jin Yan sighed helplessly, a hint of apology and determination flashing in his eyes: "Lian Yue, I really have important matters to attend to right now. That tyrannical ruler is incompetent, and the people are suffering. As his subject, how can I sit idly by?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue snorted lightly, but the smile on her lips did not diminish in the slightest: "Hmph, seeing my husband busy deposing the tyrant and saving the people from suffering, how could I, a mere woman, stop you? Fine, I'll let you go."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and quickly sat up from the bed, her movements filled with urgency: "Madam, I'll be going now."

As he spoke, he began to hurriedly put on his clothes, his hasty manner quite different from his usual composure.

Seeing this, Liu Lianyue's smile widened. She reached out and gently stopped Xiao Jinyan: "Wait, husband."

Her voice carried a hint of coquetry, causing Xiao Jinyan to pause involuntarily.

"Madam, is there anything else?" Xiao Jinyan turned around, her eyes full of doubt and tenderness.

Liu Lianyue smiled gently, a sly glint in her eyes: "My husband has left just like that. Don't you feel something is missing?"

"Otherwise what?" Xiao Jinyan retorted, already guessing some of Liu Lianyue's thoughts.

Liu Lianyue's gaze was gentle yet firm: "Help me put on my clothes. I'll go to Qianyang Palace later to see how you deposed that tyrant. As your wife, I want to witness this moment with my own eyes."

After speaking, she gracefully placed her long, straight, and fair legs on Xiao Jinyan's firm chest, as if silently expressing her lingering affection before parting.

A hint of tenderness and doting flashed in Xiao Jinyan's eyes. He gently stroked Liu Lianyue's hair and softly replied, "Alright, Madam, I'll go to Qianyang Palace to handle some important matters first. You can put on your clothes and come to meet me later."

Liu Lianyue smiled slightly, a smile that contained both trust in her husband and a hint of mischief that was barely perceptible: "Okay, husband, don't worry, I'll be there in a little while, and I'll make sure you see an even more charming and graceful me."

Xiao Jinyan quickly tidied his clothes and, filled with longing and anticipation for Liu Lianyue, stepped out of the room.

He wandered through the winding corridors and inadvertently entered the back garden. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to this secluded place.

However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a sudden cry for help.

Xiao Jinyan's heart tightened, and she immediately followed the sound.

Not far away, several soldiers were surrounding a beautiful woman whose clothes were disheveled and whose hair was messy. The woman had skin as smooth as jade, eyebrows as beautiful as distant mountains, eyes as clear as autumn water, and a slender and graceful figure, like a fairy in a painting.

At this moment, her clothes were torn to shreds, her bare feet kicked helplessly at the ground, and she kept shouting, "Don't come any closer! Help!"

Seeing this, the soldiers grinned lewdly. One of them brazenly said, "Beautiful lady, just give in to us, and I guarantee you'll experience unparalleled pleasure, hahaha..."

The beautiful woman's eyes were filled with terror and despair. She tried her best to break free from the group of thugs, but the difference in strength was too great, and she could only struggle helplessly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan was furious and shouted, "Stop!"

The sound, like a thunderclap, exploded in the garden, startling the soldiers who turned around with fear on their faces.

Xiao Jinyan strode forward and stood between the beautiful woman and the soldier, his gaze sharp and his whole body exuding an inviolable majesty.

The leading soldier, with a burly face and a lingering lewd smile, narrowed his eyes and spoke with a hint of provocation and disdain: "Commander Xiao, what brings you here again?"

Xiao Jinyan's brows revealed an unassailable air of authority as he stared directly at the other person, his voice low and firm: "I was about to ask you the same thing, why is it you again?"

This man was the same one who had tried to molest Liu Lianyue in the back garden earlier, and his smile looked particularly sinister in the setting sun.

He seemed unconcerned about Xiao Jinyan's questioning, and instead laughed even more arrogantly: "Commander Xiao, have you forgotten? You just said that all the beauties inside belong to us. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Jinyan's eyes: "That's right, I did say that you could do whatever you wanted with the women in Liu Kun's harem, but the premise was that they weren't my people! However, you shouldn't have dared to touch my women!"

The soldier was taken aback, clearly not expecting Xiao Jinyan to state his position so directly and forcefully.

His lips twitched slightly, then he retorted, "Commander Xiao, what you're saying is unreasonable! We could accept that Consort Yin you called your woman, after all, she is indeed very beautiful. But this Consort Pan, shouldn't she be Liu Kun's concubine? How come she's suddenly become your darling? Could it be that you're trying to use this opportunity to monopolize all the beauties?"

Disheveled and with her hair in disarray, Pan Jieyu resembled a fallen leaf in the wind, her eyes gleaming with a glimmer of hope amidst despair. She rushed forward recklessly, tightly embracing Xiao Jinyan's long, strong legs, her voice trembling with tears yet unwavering: "That's right, I am Xiao Hujun's woman, you can't touch me!"

The surrounding soldiers looked on with a mixture of surprise and mockery.

The leading soldier laughed even more unrestrainedly, his tone tinged with mockery: "Hey, Commander Xiao, how come you have one woman after another by your side? Could it be that all the beauties in Liu Kun's harem are your confidantes?"

After he finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted around him, making the atmosphere even more subtle and tense.

Xiao Jinyan's face was calm and his gaze was deep. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "To be honest, there is a hidden story about Yin Shuyi. She is actually Princess Liu Lianyue of Yiyang. She was originally engaged to me, Xiao Jinyan, but unfortunately, fate played a trick on her, and in the end, Liu Kun stole her away."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other in disbelief, clearly shocked by this sudden revelation.

The leading soldier, still unwilling to give up, steered the conversation back to Consort Pan: "What about this Consort Pan? Surely she's not someone Commander Xiao already knows, or someone he just took a liking to and intends to bring under his command? If Commander Xiao really has his eye on her, then we'll have to clean up this mess before we talk about romantic pleasures!"

Xiao Jinyan frowned, his eyes filled with a mixture of helplessness and determination.

"To be honest, this Consort Pan... she was actually my first love, Xiao Jinyan. However, fate is cruel, and she was taken by that tyrannical Liu Kun."

At this point, a barely perceptible hint of pain flashed in his eyes. To save people, Xiao Jinyan could only say this.

Upon hearing this, the soldier's shock was palpable, his mouth agape as if he could swallow the entire astonishment: "My God! Could it be that all those women in Liu Kun's harem are his possessions? Even Commander Xiao's first love... too..."

Before the words were finished, the disbelief and indignation were already evident.

Consort Pan stared directly at the soldier, her tone carrying an undeniable authority: "That's right, I am Commander Xiao's first love. That tyrannical Emperor Liu Kun, to satisfy his own selfish desires, forcibly took me from Xiao Jinyan's side and imprisoned me in this deep palace. What do you want?"
