Chapter 263: Capturing the Heart
She wanted to call Lianxin to ask, but found that an unfamiliar piece appeared in her mind. These fragments were chaotic, and she tried desperately to grasp them, but she couldn't grasp them, and finally turned into a burst of light and shadow and dissipated.
"Evening Xiang."
Chu Mohan's voice sounded in her ears, and Chu Wanxiang suddenly opened her eyes.
The candle flame flickered, reflecting Chu Mohan's handsome face. He sat on the edge of the bed with the medicine bowl in his hand, his eyes softening and the corners of his mouth smiling.
"Wake up, drink the medicine while it's hot."
"Did Your Majesty boil it himself?" Chu Wanxiang stared at the black-brown medicinal juice in the spoon.
"If you are sick, of course the king will take care of you himself." Chu Mohan's tone was soft, like a spring breeze blowing willows.
Chu Wanxiang's heart melted suddenly, and she obediently drank all the medicinal juices, licked the corners of her mouth, and smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty is so good."
Her happy look fell on Chu Mohan's eyes, stinging his eyes. This woman is obviously not his Xiang'er, why can she easily capture his heart?
"Xiang'er, your eyes ...... How did you get so blue and so beautiful?" He asked, his fingers touching her eyes. Chu Wanxiang's eyes were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen in his life, like a vast starry sky.
Chu Wanxiang's eyes dodged for a moment, "This is a shark pearl that is a specialty of southern Xinjiang." She vaguely explained, "Your Majesty also has one of the same color."
Chu Mohan nodded: "Oh, is it?"
"Hmm." Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "That precious shark pearl has been collected by my father, Your Majesty will be happy to find a suitable time to take it to my father."
"Thank you for your suggestion."
"Your Majesty must not be polite, Your Majesty treats your concubines so well, and the concubines should repay Your Majesty's favor." Chu Wanxiang's eyes showed gratitude, "If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, I'm afraid that the concubine would have been framed by the female cadre and died."
Chu Mohan pursed his lips slightly.
Chu Wanxiang said again, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would make our crown princess the queen? It's a pity that the concubine can't give you an heir......" She wept and mourned.
"Don't be cranky." Chu Mohan comforted, "You are weak, this king doesn't want to force you. Your body will surely be healed by this king."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your pity." Chu Wanxiang choked up.
"You take good care of your body, this king still has important business to deal with, so he will leave first." After Chu Mohan finished speaking, he turned around and left, not staying for a moment.
Chu Wanxiang sat on the soft couch and was silent for a long time, her eyes were sour, and crystal droplets overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"What did Your Majesty just tell you?" Lianxin came up curiously and asked cautiously.
"Your Majesty praised the concubine." Chu Wanxiang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Our child will definitely be fine."
Lianxin breathed a sigh of relief and echoed with a smile: "Your Majesty said yes."
A month later, Chu Wanxiang recovered and left the palace.
As soon as Chu Wanxiang returned to the East Palace, she heard Gong E's report that Chu Mohan had died, and the great eunuch who had passed the decree had already asked to see him outside the palace.
Chu Wanxiang was secretly shocked in her heart, why did Chu Mohan suddenly die?
"Let him wait." Chu Wanxiang instructed the palace maid, and then walked into the bedroom.
Chu Mohan sat at the table, looked down at the fold, and didn't notice her entrance. Chu Wanxiang walked over and called him softly, "Your Majesty."
Chu Mohan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and he stared at her as if he wanted to devour her.
Chu Wanxiang was taken aback by him: "What's wrong with you?"
"Xiang'er......" He stood up, slowly but surely approached her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and buried his head in the socket of her neck. Xiang'er, Xiang'er......" He kept calling her name, his voice trembling and hoarse. "Xiang'er ......"
Chu Wanxiang was stunned and pushed him away in a daze, "Your Majesty, I'm ...... I'm not Chu Wanxiang......" She tried to break free from Chu Mohan's shackles.
"I know, you're Chu Wanxiang." Chu Mohan stubbornly hugged her, "You belong to this king alone, and no one can take it away!"
Chu Wanxiang stood stiffly, with mixed feelings in her heart. What the hell is he talking about?
"Wanxiang, I know you hate me." Chu Mohan took a deep breath, "But I love you, and I will never give up on you. Thou art the wife of this king, and this king will not allow you to leave this king."
"I don't understand...... I never thought of leaving you...... I...... Hmm." Chu Wanxiang wanted to explain, but before she spit out two words, she was gagged by Chu Mohan.
Chu Mohan kissed her lip flap domineeringly, pried open her teeth fiercely, and invaded her mouth. Chu Wanxiang resisted for a while, but she couldn't resist him after all. He was domineering and gentle, Chu Wanxiang lost herself, got carried away, and let him kiss her all over her body.
They had been separated for more than a year, and her heart twitched with pain every time she remembered that night.
Chu Mohan kissed her for a long time, let go of her, pressed his forehead against her forehead, and gasped heavily, "Wanxiang, you are so beautiful." He looked at her delicate face obsessively and muttered, "This king doesn't want to let you go."
Chu Wanxiang was kissed by him, leaned on his arms, and said in a low voice, "What does Your Majesty like about me?"
Chu Mohan smiled, "Because you are the only woman this king likes. This king married you because he liked you." He stroked her long hair, gently.
A warm current surged in Chu Wanxiang's heart, and her originally cold heart became extremely hot, "Your Majesty is so good to me, how can I be willing to leave."
"Xiang'er, this king will crown you as the queen as soon as possible, are you ready to be the queen?"
"Your Majesty, I ......" Chu Wanxiang's cheeks turned crimson and hesitated, "I want to wait until I give birth to the fetus in my womb before talking about canonization. After all, this matter is very important, and the concubines need to think about it carefully."
Although she is not the real Chu Wanxiang, she is still unwilling to disguise in front of Chu Mohan. After all, she and Chu Mohan didn't have many days together, and they both knew very well that there was a chasm between them. If she was just a substitute for Chu Wanxiang in his eyes, then she would rather never know him.
"This king respects your decision." Chu Mohan said, "Today is the birthday of this king, and this king wants you to accompany this king to spend this birthday." He pulled her to the table, boiled a pot of wine with his own hands, poured a glass and handed it to her, and motioned for her to taste it.
The aroma of wine was overflowing, refreshing, Chu Wanxiang looked at the wine glass, and asked with a smile, "What is Your Majesty celebrating?"
Chu Mohan shook the wine glass, his eyes were dim and difficult to distinguish: "This king wants to drink this cup with Xiang'er, Xiang'er, drink."
Chu Wanxiang took the wine glass.
The aroma of wine wafted on the tip of her nose, making Chu Wanxiang couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She hesitated for a moment, then raised her glass and took a sip. The spicy liquor slid down his throat like a flame, making Chu Wanxiang frown.
"It's spicy...... she coughed a few times, covering her mouth, "I'll go find some water to rinse my mouth."
Chu Mohan stretched out his hand to stop her, picked up chopsticks and brought vegetables to her mouth, and said with a smile, "Eat, Xiang'er."
Chu Wanxiang was slightly stunned, then grinned, and bit the dish on the chopsticks to eat her stomach.
"How? Does Xiang'er like it?" Chu Mohan asked with a smile.
