Chapter 539: He Came Over Late at Night

Wen Ruan naturally knew that the Princess Consort was referring to the Queen.

Before she entered the palace, she heard that the Queen only had one daughter, Nangong Han, and did not give birth to an heir.

After all, she was a member of the royal harem, so Princess Li quickly composed herself.

She looked at Wen Ruan in a new light.

Wen Ruan’s medical skills were indeed impressive to be able to detect that something was wrong with the bracelet.

Even the royal doctors might not have her skills.

Princess Li grabbed Wen Ruan’s arm and asked with a frown,” Miss Wen, do I still have a chance to get pregnant again?””

Wen Ruan asked Princess Li to sit down and took her pulse.

“Yes, I’ll give you a prescription. You just need to take medicine to adjust.”

Princess Li heaved a sigh of relief.

She was getting older. If she didn’t have a child, she might end up like her aunt in her later years.

“Miss Wen, if I can get pregnant, I’ll think of a way to get you to stand up for me on the day of the old king’s birthday banquet and attract his attention.”

“Then I’ll thank Princess Li first.”

..

Perhaps it was because she had a new life, Princess Li had taken the medicine that Wen Ruan had prescribed for her for nearly seven days. Her complexion and spirit had improved a lot.

She had regained her usual vitality. When the weather was good, she would go to the garden to relax.

On this day, she ran into Nangong Xiao, who was about to go find Wen Ruan.

It had been a long time since Nangong Xiao had seen Princess Li. Today, she was wearing a green cheongsam. Her long hair was tied into a bun, and she had exquisite makeup on her face. She looked classic and gentle. From afar, she looked like a beautiful painting.

Princess Li bent down and sniffed a blooming flower.

Her thick and long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her lips curled into a faint smile.

Two butterflies landed on her body.

Nangong Xiao’s Adam’s apple moved and he could not help but walk towards Princess Li.

“Wangfei, it’s been a long time since I last saw you.”

Nangong Xiao looked at Consort Li as images of their past lovey-dovey relationship surfaced in his mind. He suddenly realized that after so many years, she had become even more charming than before.

If it was in the past, Princess Li would have coldly turned around and left when she saw Nangong Xiao.

After all, she had been sincere to him back then, but later on, he slowly ignored her and broke her heart.

In the past, she had begged for his sincerity, but now, all she wanted was a child.

Their desires were different, so their mentality was naturally different.

She looked at Nangong Xiao’s handsome face and smiled.” Actually, I came out to meet the King. The King hasn’t eaten at my place for a long time. I wonder if the King would be willing to do me the honor of visiting?””

Nangong Xiao looked at Consort Li’s smiling face and his Adam’s apple moved. He stretched out his long arms and carried her in his arms.

After Nangong Xiao met Princess Li in the garden, he went to Princess Li’s palace for half a month.

This made Princess Ya so angry that her face turned green.

“That b * tch has been out of favor for several years. Why is she suddenly back?”

The Queen looked at Princess Ya, whose face was twisted with anger, and frowned slightly.” Recently, the King rarely comes to your palace. You have to work harder.””

Princess Ya touched her charming face. She knew that her current appearance was not bad, but in a few years, she could not guarantee that she would not grow old.

At that time, would she be abandoned?

But she knew very well that the Queen would not allow her to have children!

“Queen, don’t worry. I will think of a way.”

..

Consort Ya sent a servant to the palace to inform Nangong Xiao that she was sick.

Nangong Xiao had Princess Ya in his heart. When he found out that she was sick, he went to her palace.

When he reached the bedroom, he did not see Princess Ya. Nangong Xiao was about to ask the servant when Turkey music started playing.

Amid the slow and mesmerizing music, a woman with fiery red lips and a flame pattern on her forehead walked out of the cloakroom.

She was wearing a yellow chiffon dress that exposed her waist. As she moved, her expression was seductive and her collarbones were mesmerizing.

The bell on her wrist made a crisp and pleasant sound. On her beautiful belly button, there was a sparkling diamond, which was quite enchanting.

Nangong Xiao used to love Princess Ya’s dance, but today, when he looked at her, Wen Ruan’s figure appeared in his mind.

Recently, he had been at Princess Li’s place. Ever since Wen Ruan entered the palace, he had only been there once. When her period came, he had not been there again.

It had been more than twenty days, and her period had long passed.

His Adam’s apple moved when he thought of her delicate face. He thought of her fragrant and charming scent at the hotel that time and his blood boiled.

The moment Princess Ya threw herself into his arms, he pushed her away.

“King?”

“Wangfei, since you are not sick, I still have something to do. I will come to see you next time.”

Princess Ya didn’t have the time to make him stay, and Nangong Xiao strode away.

Princess Ya froze on the spot, unable to move for a long time.

..

Wen Ruan learned that Nangong Xiao had gone to Princess Li’s place and was called away by Princess Ya not long after. She let down her guard and thought that Nangong Xiao would not come to her place tonight. After taking a shower, she sat on the bed and read a book.

There was only a dim yellow wall lamp in the room. Wen Ruan was engrossed in her book and did not know that Nangong Xiao had quietly entered her room without alerting the servants.

Wen Ruan only realized that something was wrong when she flipped the pages.

When she raised her head, she met a pair of dark and unclear eyes.

Nangong Xiao was staring at her without blinking, his gaze shifting from her face to her body.

The pajamas that Wen Ruan brought into the palace were all rather conservative. The buttons were buttoned up meticulously, unlike the sexy pajamas worn by the other women in the palace who wanted to fight for attention.

In Nangong Xiao’s eyes, her uniqueness was a different kind of charm.

His interest in her grew even stronger.

When Nangong Xiao saw her looking over, there was a hint of surprise and shock in his deer eyes. His black and white deer eyes were especially pure and beautiful. His Adam’s apple moved as he took the book from her hand.” What are you reading?””

“Medical, medical books”

Why would he come here?

Didn’t he go to Princess Ya’s place?

Wen Ruan’s heart was in turmoil as she thought about how to make Nangong Xiao leave. However, he was so close to her that her mind went blank.

She didn’t spray the medicine, nor did she take out any silver needles. If he did anything to her, she probably wouldn’t be his match.

Moreover, provoking him now would not do her any good!

In the midst of Wen Ruan’s many twists and turns, Nangong Xiao leaned towards her, lifted her chin with his fingers, bent down, and kissed her.

Wen Ruan subconsciously turned his head.

Nangong Xiao did not manage to kiss her, and he looked a little unhappy. He pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head. His eyes swept across her sternly.” Why? Are you unwilling?””

Wen Ruan’s heart thumped wildly.”…” No, you have perfume on you. Can you take a shower first?”

Nangong Xiao was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said,” In the royal family, you have to learn to accept the smell of other women on me.”
