Chapter 50: Untying the knot
In the side hall of Fenghua Palace, He Yunxiao rested his head on his arm, holding Mengbao and looking at the moon.
He kept watching the sky turn pale.
He was not daydreaming, but constantly reviewing and thinking.
According to the current known information, the heroines with high difficulty will have "heart knots". Including Mengbao, Ziruo, Chu Xiaoxiao, and Nanzhu after strengthening.
Chu Xiaoxiao's heart knot is unknown, but Ziruo and Nanzhu's are very clear. At the beginning, Ziruo's wife's heart knot was "teacher-student love", which was caused by his special relationship with her and Ziruo's own concept of following etiquette.
Nanzhu's heart knot was "disbelief", because she originally trusted him very much, and he had deceived her once.
Based on this, it can be inferred that the heroine's heart knot is caused by "experience" and "concept".
Then Mengbao's heart knot...
He Yunxiao recalled everything that happened before, especially the things that Mengbao cared about.
Although Mengbao holds great power, she doesn't seem to be obsessed with worldly things such as power and money. Apart from herself, what Mengbao cares about most is - "Qi" or "sister"?
There was a gentle knock on the door in the distance. This was Jian Ling reminding her that it was time for His Highness to get up.
He Yunxiao looked at the sun that had not yet risen outside the window, sighed, and shook Meng Qingqian's shoulder.
"Mengbao, get up."
Meng Qingqian frowned slightly, and an unwilling "hmm" sound came out of her beautiful nose.
"Mengbao" He Yunxiao shook Mengbao's arm again.
Meng Qingqian frowned tightly, her tone was soft, and she said coquettishly: "Let me sleep a little longer..."
He Yunxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's not that he hadn't let her sleep before, but once he let her sleep, she would be scolded by her when she got up.
"Mengbao, be good, get up."
He Yunxiao continued to coax her, but with little effect.
Looking at the person beside him who couldn't wake up no matter how hard he called, He Yunxiao didn't feel annoyed, but found her cute. After all, she only slept for two hours.
For work, he can only sleep four hours a day.
He Yunxiao asked himself, if he were to do this kind of work intensity, he would have run away long ago. I don't know how Mengbao persisted...
He Yunxiao frowned and suddenly understood something.
So he lowered his head and kissed Mengbao's lips... Sleeping Beauty was awakened in this way.
...
In late November, the weather was cold.
The trees by the lake of the palace were covered with white frost. There was a piece that chose to run before the sky was completely bright. It left home, rode the wind, and got lost in the lake.
Falling into the lake, going deeper, deeper, playing with the lake water, feeling the temperature, melting, blending, indistinguishable from each other.
It rose too strongly, waking up from the dozing night.
…
Meng Qingqian sat on the bed with her coat on, her face flushed with shame. She wanted to glare but didn’t dare to, wanted to scold but didn’t dare to.
This place was different from other places. This place was He Yunxiao’s home court.
As a long-time superior, how could Meng Qingqian willingly submit to others? With her temperament, she had tried to resist before. Once, the young Meng Bao was also a person who refused to admit defeat.
Later, she was severely taught a lesson by life.
She surrendered.
He Yunxiao looked at Meng Bao’s shy face and smiled, “Are you awake?”
Meng Qingqian turned her head and said “Hmm”.
He Yunxiao stretched out his hand to hold her waist, gently exerted force, and pulled the beauty into his arms.
"Mengbao, I want to ask you something."
"You say."
"Who do you like more, me or Qi?"
Meng Qingqian's delicate body trembled, and she forced a smile and said, "He Yunxiao, are you tired?"
"Mengbao..."
Meng Qingqian smiled and said, "Sleep a little longer, I'm going to help my cousin deal with government affairs." After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to get out of bed.
He Yunxiao took Meng Qingqian's hand, "Mengbao, answer me before you go."
Meng Qingqian pursed her lips, made up her mind, and squeezed out tears on the spot.
She said aggrievedly, "Are you blaming me for not accompanying you to detoxify?"
He Yunxiao said awkwardly, "No, it's not what you think..."
"Then why did you say that..."
"I..."
I'm going to Yan State, and I need to capture you and let you detoxify yourself?
How could I explain this to Mengbao like this.
"I..." He Yunxiao was silent for a moment, and said, "I just feel that you like Qi State more than me."
Meng Qingqian stared at He Yunxiao blankly. She had never been so flustered before. She had a feeling of losing him. Stronger than ever before.
She didn't get out of bed, but threw herself on He Yunxiao, hugged him tightly, and used all her strength. It seemed that only in this way could she feel at ease.
"He Yunxiao... let's... let's detoxify... okay? Mengbao, Mengbao will listen to you... brother, brother Xiao... Mengbao is fine, Mengbao will listen to brother Xiao... woo... don't leave..."
Meng Qingqian sat in He Yunxiao's arms, leaning her head on his shoulder and crying.
He Yunxiao comforted her back, feeling sad while laughing and crying. Mengbao had never lost her composure like this.
He already knew Mengbao's answer.
"Qingmeng, I won't leave you, never."
"Yeah!"
"Don't cry."
"Yeah."
Meng Qingqian raised her head and looked at him, letting him wipe away her tears.
"You, do you want to detoxify now?" She blushed.
"Don't call me 'brother Xiao' anymore?" He Yunxiao smiled.
Meng Qingqian lowered her head, her shy face as beautiful as a sunset glow.
"Brother Xiao," she said.
He Yunxiao hugged the woman's slender waist tightly, lay in her ear and whispered: "Mengbao, do you like me?"
Meng Qingqian's heart was beating wildly, and her face to her body, which was as white as suet, were all extremely rosy due to the excitement of blood and nerves.
She was embarrassed to answer and just nodded in detail.
He Yunxiao's hand pressed against Mengbao's body, quietly sending out inner strength to help her stabilize her physical condition.
Then, he said: "Mengbao likes me, and he likes Qi Guo more, right?"
Meng Qingqian's originally rosy face suddenly turned pale. If He Yunxiao hadn't used his internal energy to help her stabilize her body in advance, she might have fainted on the spot due to the backflow of blood.
"Mengbao, tell the truth, I can see it."
Meng Qingqian sat in He Yunxiao's arms, lowered her head, and bit her lips tightly, quickly drawing blood.
He Yunxiao was really shocked when he saw her reaction. He expected that Mengbao's reaction would be intense, but he didn't expect it to be so intense!
He quickly said: "Mengbao, Mengbao, listen to me!"
Meng Qingqian suddenly raised her head, and two lines of tears instantly ran across her cheeks.
He Yunxiao's heart hurt as if he had been stabbed by a needle.
Mengbao must be calmed down now!
Without saying a word, He Yunxiao lowered his head suddenly and accurately found her salty lips stained with blood.
…
Meng Qingqian stopped crying. She just hugged He Yunxiao and said nothing.
He Yunxiao must continue the topic. If he doesn't talk about it, Mengbao will never be able to untie his knot.
"Clear dream."
"Um."
"I know you love Qi State more than you love me."
Meng Qingqian trembled and held He Yunxiao's arm a little harder.
He Yunxiao touched her hair and smiled: "To be honest, I am very jealous of Qi State because my Mengbao loves it so much."
Meng Qingqian lowered her head and said nothing.
"Mengbao, what I want to say is: No matter who Mengbao likes the most, I will always like my Mengbao."
After saying this, He Yunxiao could clearly feel the beauty in his arms sobbing.
"Mengbao, look at me."
He Yunxiao stared at Meng Qingqian's hazy tearful eyes and said seriously: "Li Qingmeng, I love you, and I will love everything you love. If you like Qi State, I will love it with you. Whoever wants to harm it, I will love you Protect together. But... I prefer Mengbao to Qi Guo. This will never change. I am the most lustful person in the world, and I like Mengbao the most."
Meng Qingqian cried and laughed at the same time, and then regardless of the situation, he fiercely pinned He Yunxiao down.
Jian Ling, who was outside the door, heard the noise and walked away wisely.
