Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 883 - 883 Bridal Chamber (6)

883 Bridal Chamber (6)

He shook his head, sighed, and smiled. “You don’t seem to believe in the relationship between the royal members.”

Shen Miao pursed her lips and did not say a word. In her previous life, she was the empress. As the empress, she had seen many things that people did not know. She had seen a prince who doted on his concubine in every way yesterday and sent his concubine to his aides the next day just to rope him in. She had also seen how in order to accumulate power, men could abandon their loved ones and marry the daughter of an official instead. Killing and scheming between brothers were by no means rare.

After seeing so many such things, Shen Miao found it unbelievable that there was kinship between royal members. Perhaps there was, but she just refused to believe it.

“You’ll understand in the future.” Xie Jingxing shook his head and changed the topic. “My brother is not a good person, but he’s a good emperor. It’s just that to you, he’s probably not someone to befriend.”

Shen Miao thought that the only person who had the guts to say that about Emperor Yong Le was probably Xie Jingxing.

“If he scares you, don’t be afraid. With me around, no one will dare to touch you.” Xie Jingxing continued, “The empress is a good person. You can make friends with her. If there is a chance, you can talk to her more.”

Shen Miao suddenly panicked because she felt as if Xie Jingxing was going to leave her after telling her this.

“Aren’t you going tomorrow?” she asked.

“Why? Are you afraid of being alone?” Seeing her frown, Xie Jingxing said, “I’ll go with you. It’s just that my brother will definitely find excuses to send me away. If he says anything to you, you don’t have to take it to heart. Just treat it as bullsh*t.”

Shen Miao was silent for a moment. “Got it.”

Xie Jingxing smiled and looked at her. “Shen Jiaojiao.”

“What?”

“I feel that you’ve become much more obedient after coming to Long Ye.” The smile on his face widened. “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you.”

Shen Miao took a deep breath and placed the comb on the dressing table. She stood up and said, “I’m going to sleep. When are you leaving?”

“Leaving?” Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “Why should I leave my bridal chamber?”

Shen Miao widened her eyes. Xie Jingxing stood up and lay on the bed.

Shen Miao was speechless.

Shouldn’t they have a mutual understanding about this? Wasn’t it normal for fake couples to sleep in separate rooms? Why was Xie Jingxing being an asshole?

She said, “Then I’ll sleep outside.”

Before she could finish her sentence, her arm was suddenly grabbed. Before Shen Miao could steady herself, she fell onto the bed. A pair of strong arms supported her and pulled her into his arms.

Shen Miao’s nose was filled with the fragrance of bamboo on the man’s body. However, his chest was heaving, and his breathing was warm. For a moment, she did not dare to look up at his face.

After a long silence, Xie Jingxing’s low voice sounded from above.

“Two months.”

“What?” She subconsciously looked up and met a pair of dark eyes. However, at this moment, his eyes seemed to be extremely invasive, making Shen Miao’s heart involuntarily beat faster.

Xie Jingxing hugged her and said lazily, “I’ll give you two months. After two months, I won’t be able to control myself anymore.”

Shen Miao was stunned. The corners of Xie Jingxing’s lips curled up into a devilish and meaningful smile. He said, “Being a gentleman is not my forte… I’ve never been a good person.”

Shen Miao suddenly jumped up and said, “I’ll sleep in the study.”

Xie Jingxing grabbed her and said, “I’ll sleep outside.”

Shen Miao did not dare to look him in the eye.

When she was in Ming Qi, there were still people from the Shen family around, so Xie Jingxing did not dare to be impudent. Now that she did not know anyone in Long Ye and that she and Xie Jingxing were husband and wife, it was only right for them to do something.

Xie Jingxing pushed open the door and left in a good mood.

Shen Miao rubbed her chest, which was still beating violently just now. After Xie Jingxing left Ming Qi and returned to the Daliang Dynasty, he was indeed getting more and more impudent. It was as if he was suppressing his true nature when he was in Ming Qi, but now, he showed his true nature to Shen Miao.

How were husband and wife supposed to live together? Shen Miao thought to herself. She was experienced in other things, but in this matter, she was still like a green girl.

After a while, Shen Miao shook the thought and covered her head with the blanket.

In this life, she would let nature take its course…
