Chapter 25
Feed Me With Your Mouth
“You could imagine that Sacred Emperor felt cold all over soon after he was back to Palace of Sunrise, and even two bowls of ginger syrup didn’t make him better . ”
“I had planned to have a flunkey send for an Imperial Physician from Imperial Institute of Medicine, but was refused by Sacred Emperor on account that those old guys were too nagging once seeing him . I was put in a quandary, then it occurred to me that Bai Guniang was in the palace . ”
On the way back to Palace of Sunrise, Li Dafa laconically told her what happened .
Bai Qingqing looked calm, but mixed feelings rolled in her heart .
Zhao Yuchen was such a troublemaker . Why did he go to Palace of Phoenix on a whim?
Did he not even care about himself just to protect those half-dead crabapple trees .
Though she complained about him in an angry tone, she was actually beside herself with anxiety and feared that he got terribly ill again, making no one else but her the saddest and most anxious one .
At this point, Bai Qingqing had forsaken what she had sworn after she was rebirthed .
Unconsciously, she had treated Zhao Yuchen as the most important person again . Any sign of disturbance or trouble would set her worried uncontrollably .
In Palace of Sunrise, the maids serving their master felt relieved on seeing Bai Qingqing’s arrival .
Bai Qingqing immediately examined him and diagnosed him catch a chill indeed, his cheeks flushed, his body feverish, and his consciousness blurred .
She felt the pulse for him and blamed with a frown, “You are terribly ill . Why not call me earlier?”
Li Dafa explained in a low voice, “Sacred Emperor fears that will disturb your rest . ”
“Humph! What a high-sounding reason . If he didn’t want to disturb me, he would have stayed in Palace of Sunrise rather than going out on such a heavy rainy day . He picked on me deliberately in this way . ”
Li Dafa and others present were scared of Bai Qingqing’s anger .
She was indeed the benefactor of Sacred Emperor, with that being said, she’d better see how the land lies .
After all, Sacred Emperor was father of the reigning emperor .
Regardless of his relation with the emperor, he was dignified Emperor Emeritus, who wielded immense power and could shake the world of Great Yan Kingdom simply lifting a finger .
It was difficult to accept that such a person respected by the world was someone could be denounced harshly in Bai Qingqing’s eyes .
“Please send somebody to bring my cloth bag and ask maids to prepare a basin of hot water, Grand Eunuch Li . Then I will give you a prescription and ask them to get these herbs from the Imperial Drug Institution . Send it here as soon as you finish decocting herbs . ” Bai Qingqing said .
They kept busy till night, then Zhao Yuchen’s high fever was gone after receiving acupuncture treatment from Bai Qingqing .
But when Bai Qingqing fed him medicine, he refused to take it like a hot-tempered child because of the choking smell .
Bai qingqing first persuaded him softly but failed, then her face darkened and said, “You can’t recover without taking it . You want to toss yourself to death?”
Being scolded, Zhao Yuchen looked her back with innocent eyes and said in a mute voice, “It’s bitter . ”
“Well, don’t take it . ” Bai Qingqing said .
She turned away and was about to leave but was caught by Zhao Yuchen in the arm . He begged like a poor guy, “Please feed me . ”
Bai Qingqing was just putting on a show, because she was by no means indifferent to him or was she going to leave him alone heartlessly .
Seeing him put away his arrogance and appear feebly, Bai Qingqing didn’t have the heart to refuse, so she held him up, resting his head on her shoulder, took the bowl and sent it to his mouth .
Zhao Yuchen raised his face and said blackguardly, “I mean, feed me with your mouth . . . ”
Hearing this, she flushed crimson, and anger filled her eyes, she slapped him on the shoulder and scolded, “Take it or not, totally up to you!”
She wanted to push him away .
No way would Zhao Yuchen let her go . He stayed in her arms firmly, put his hands around her waist and begged with grievance, “I’ll take it . Please don’t leave . ”
He said that with pouting his lips close to her, implying that she was ready to be fed .
His behavior made Bai Qingqing angry . However, she couldn’t do anything with him but to be patient to coax the high-maintenance man into taking herbs for his recovery .
After finishing it, Zhao Yuchen had a bad cough .
Seeing his face turned red, Bai Qingqing rushed to bring a glass of warm water and feed him .
“Still have the bitter aftertaste . . . ” Zhao Yuchen said .
“That will be ok for a while . ” She replied .
“Help me . ”
“How?”
Then in the dim candlelight, Zhao Yuchen took her into his arms, pinched her chin and put his tongue inside her mouth while Bai Qingqing was greatly shocked .
“Uh . . . ”
Bai Qingqing tried to escape but was pressed under him . His tongue was greedily sucking at every corner within her mouth at the same time he said satisfactorily, “That’s so sweet . ”
Bai Qingqing was at the mercy of his kiss and wanted to give him a slap, only to find herself being clung tightly by him who was like an octopus and sucking the fragrance in her mouth regardless .
“Please don’t go, Qinger, don’t leave me alone . . . ” Zhao Yucen whispered .
Such whisper like somniloquy calmed Bai Qingqing who was struggling down .
At this moment, she was not sure whether he was calling Suo Ruoqing or Bai Qingqing .
Though, regardless of who he called, she finally succumbed to his attraction .
Long-separated care and intimacy never made her forget his smell .
After all, the man here was her husband, her beloved and father of her son .
She thought she could drop their love, but in practice, she could by no means forget their sweet memory and love .
She loved him deeply!
Even he once had forced her to die, her soul that hid in Bai Qingqing’s body still had deep love for the man .
She was clear that her obedience meant she accepted him again .
She forced herself to stay rational but she failed to “strictly guard her last line of defense” when the two bodies were clinging together .
The next morning, Bai Qingqing woke up, only to find an arm lying on her chest, tightly holding her shoulders .
After seeing the face beside her clearly, she took a cold breath .
She . . . had sex with Zhao Yuchen .
Though sex was not strange to her, she was not Su Ruoqing, but Bai Qingqing, who was a virgin .
A girl who distained herself like this before getting married would be put in pig cages, and submerged in rivers to drown as punishment .
It was her impulse that was to blame on being tempted into having sex with him last night .
She was regretful and annoyed .
While Zhao Yuchen was asleep, she moved his slender arm away and attempt to leave .
Unfortunately, she had just sat up when his strong arms appeared from behind and took her back into his warm arms .
“Want to leave without a word?”
A dissatisfied voice came from the top of her head .
Bai Qingqing raised her head, only to meet his accusing eyes .
She refuted in a whisper, “Of course not, I just wanna a pee . ”
Zhao Yuchen said with a sexy smile, “So you’ll be back after that, right?”
“I . . . ” Bai Qingqing stopped because she suddenly realized there was no need explaining to him .
“Let me go . I need to put on my clothes first . ”
“Those are just fig leaf . It doesn’t matter if you wear or not, because I think you are in your prettiest now and no clothes can beautify your appearance . ”
With this, he touched her delicate skin using the tip of index finger .
Teased by him, Bai Qingqing trembled and clapped his hand with a slap to leave .
Suddenly, voice of the little emperor came from outside, “I heard that my father was ill last night and Bai Jiejie served him all night . Did he feel better?”
Li Dafa who was waiting outside answered, “Sacred Emperor was still sleeping . ”
“You needn’t to pass any word, I’ll visit him in person, Grand Eunuch Li . ” The little emperor said .
Then, footsteps were approaching from outside .
