The Choice Queen's
TCQ 35: Insecurity
“Nona, why are you daydreaming?” asked the curious Xiang Wan to see Li Fengran daydreaming when the King had already left two hours ago.
“Xiang Wan, do you think a King can still maintain his beliefs and principles?”
“Means Miss?”
“She said, she won't touch a woman she doesn't love. But anyway, he's a king. There were some things he could not force. When family matters become a matter of country, shouldn't he put aside the desires of his heart?”
Li Fengran thought, although Nangong Zirui said that he would only touch loved ones, but Li Fengran was not entirely sure he could. After all, Nangong Zirui was a King of Donghao. His family's problems became a state problem.
The three women inside the Back Palace were his wives, but he disliked them. Even the queen herself was rejected outright. This time may not be a problem, but one day, sooner or later it will be a new problem. The government needs heirs from legitimate bloodlines.
Thus, it would be very unwise for Nangong Zirui to continue to maintain his will. If until his old age he does not find a woman who is loved or does not get it, will it not bring disaster? He ultimately had to give up his principles and marry another woman, and had to get along with his wives even if he had to.
It would be nice if Nangong Zirui was not a King and was not born a member of the royal family. It would also be nice if Li Fengran was not a Sword Saint and the daughter of Danchuan. The opulence and glamour of the palace and the glory it offered, were exchanged for a restrained freedom and a life repressed by many rules and coercion.
Li Fengran preferred to be a free bird, one that foraged for itself and went wherever he wanted. As in the real world, he is free. In addition to a job to live, she had many things to please her.
“He must ultimately still have offspring regardless of the fact whether the mother of his child was the woman he loved or not,” Li Fengran sighed.
“Hm. Miss, I'm stupid about this. But a king is like that. Since Donghao was founded, kings of each generation had more than ten wives. It was only during His Majesty's era that he survived several years with the late Queen Ling as his wife. Concubine Su and Consort Fei also entered the harem in a way that was not the same as the concubines in the previous generation. I think it's enough to show that in fact His Majesty only wants one companion in his life.”
“It's obviously not likely to happen. Although the late Queen Ling helped him a lot, his heart remained unmoved. I'm afraid she completely turned off her own feelings to face the problems of her royal family.”
Li Fengran and Xiang Wan both sighed. At midnight, the full moon is still shining. “But I think someone can move his heart,” said Xiang Wan.
“Who?”
“You, Miss.”
“Huh, bullshit.”
“Nona, you are unconscious? His Majesty looks at you in a different way.”
Li Fengran turned his face and glared. Li Fengra did not want to be caught up in the puzzling uncertainty. After all, he knew exactly the reason Nangong Zirui kept him by his side. Let's say that the man only reasoned, but really Li Fengran himself started to get confused.
“Day is late. I have to go to Jinchuan for duty. Xiang Wan, clear all this up and go get some rest!”
Meanwhile at Qihua Palace, Wang Bi was commanding the palace servants who went back and forth carrying buckets of cold water. Next to the King's bedroom, Nangong Zirui drowned himself in the bathtub. “Add ice! Don't be noisy!” nangong Zirui.
Wang Bi rules the waiter, “Quick!”
Although Nangong Zirui had already vomited his entrails after leaving Linghua Palace, the effects of the wine that had been mixed with the spring potion were still reacting. His entire body was burning hot, especially between his legs. Her male blood was turbulent, boiling and making her tormented.
One ice chest came, then Wang Bi moved it into the bath and told the servants to come out, as well as himself. Behind the paper folding screen that separated the bedroom with the room, Nangong Zirui drowned himself even more.
The cold temperature of the ice-mixed water entered his skin, extinguishing some of the burning desire in his body. Nangong Zirui regulated his inner power, breathing regularly and suppressing the effect of the medicine from within. It takes a lot of effort and time until the effects slowly begin to show a decline.
“Your Majesty, should you call a healer?”
“Do you think this is something a healer can suppress?”
“Then, what if ask one of the concubines serve?”
“Shut up or I'll kick you out!”
Wang Bi closed his mouth.
Fucking Shen Lihua! He really has great courage!
Having just become the Queen, she had been presumptuous to tease him and could not wait to climb to higher ground. Had Nangong Zirui not held him back, while at Changsun Palace he might have started to go crazy. Ling Sui had never even done this to him, she was so brave!
Nangong Zirui could actually swallow the desire-reducing pill, but he forgot to store it where. It was all the more frustrating given his crazy-looking appearance whenever anyone tried to provoke his cravings with such a drug.
“Wang Bi!” he shouted with a muffled voice.
“Hamba here, Your Majesty,” the eunuch replied behind the fold screen.
“Submit my word. Queen Shen had just entered the harem, requiring training and learning. He was ordered to serve the Queen Mother and study palace tatakrama to her for one month!”
“Understanding, Your Excellency.”
Wang Bi could only let out a small sigh, pitying the fate of this poor Queen. He should not mess with the King, let alone try to want the first night in a cunning way.
The king was not a striped-nose man who liked to roam around in brothels, he would not be entangled in a momentary desire like this. Instead of profiting, the Queen plunged herself into the hole she had dug for the King!
When the effects of the drug had subsided, Nangong Zirui came out of the bathtub. After drying himself and putting on his clothes, he walked out of the room and sat down at the table in the middle of his bedroom. The look on his face was more pleasing to the eye than when he was in the water.
“Your Majesty, drink this glass of cold water,” Wang Bi thrust a glass of cold water on him.
“Find out anyone involved with that woman's plan!”
When he gets angry about being framed and played with, he will find out everything and will not let go of anyone involved. At its lightest the sentence was only a punishing sentence in the Bureau of Discipline, and the heaviest could be executed.
Wang Bi nodded obeying the orders. She lamented, “Queen, you have harmed many people because of your misguidance.”
