Chapter 79
Ripples spread across the water's surface, making Rong Hengyu's eyes appear even more moist and alluring.
Nalan Jingwen had nothing he wouldn't dare to do, always acting on his whims. With a gentle touch of his fingertips, he felt the skin pressed against his body stiffen and begin to tense.
The curve of her lips deepened, probing once again into something even more mysterious.
Rong Hengyu wrapped his arms around her neck, letting out a little more force. His waist went limp, and he buried his head in her neck, breathing softly. His cheeks were flushed, and a hint of brilliance appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"Your Majesty..."
"what happened?"
—(Deleted)—
Qinghuai felt that his voice was a little off, but she didn't dare to ask too much. Although her young master seemed easy to get along with, he was a man of his word, and none of his subordinates dared to disobey him.
"Yes, young master, remember to call me when you're done washing."
Only when I heard the footsteps fading into the distance did my stiff body relax slightly.
—(Deleted again)—
He was completely weak, his legs were so weak that he could only support himself with the help of Nalan Jingwen.
Seeing his actions, Nalan Jingwen said:
"In a few days, I will accompany you back to the Rong residence."
Rong Hengyu paused almost imperceptibly while washing, then asked, "Why does Your Highness suddenly want to accompany me back to the manor?"
"Since you married me, I have never accompanied you back home. After all, you are my mother-in-law, and proper etiquette must be observed."
Even if no one believed her, she should have accompanied her husband on his homecoming two years ago. Now that she's mentioned it, everyone knows there's something fishy going on. But so what? She was just informing him, not asking for his opinion.
Rong Hengyu was incredibly intelligent; how could he not know these things? He smiled slightly at Nalan Jingwen.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
She pulled her hand away, took his hand, and led him up.
This water is not suitable for washing.
He let Rong Hengyu wipe his body until he was dry, put on his coat, and led him back to the room. Rong Hengyu remained silent and obediently followed her.
Qinghuai was shocked when she saw Nalan Jingwen, and when she saw Rong Hengyu being led by the hand, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock.
“Young...Young Master...she…”
Rong Hengyu frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"How dare you! Is that how you address the Prince?!"
Qinghuai knelt down with a thud, "Young Master, Qinghuai knows she was wrong."
"You should apologize to me, not me."
Qinghuai looked up at Nalan Jingwen, who was standing aside watching the show. A trace of shame flashed in her eyes, but under Rong Hengyu's pressure, she kowtowed to Nalan Jingwen.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong."
Nalan Jingwen watched the two with some interest, but seeing Qing Huai so unwilling to apologize to him, he felt bored.
Rong Hengyu could easily see through Nalan Jingwen's attitude. His eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "Go find Hongyun to receive your punishment."
Qinghuai, who had initially thought it was nothing, suddenly became terrified, as if she had encountered some kind of monstrous beast. She knelt down and grabbed his hem, pleading, "Young Master, Qinghuai knows she was wrong. Please forgive Qinghuai this time. I promise I will never do it again."
Nalan Jingwen became interested. What kind of punishment could have frightened him so much? Rong Hengyu didn't seem like a cruel person.
but……
A face like Guanyin (the Goddess of Mercy) may have a heart like a snake or scorpion; that's not
Despite his pleas, Rong Hengyu did not budge an inch.
"There is no room for discussion. Go and receive your punishment. Also, from now on, you shall respect me as the King's Consort and never call me 'Young Master' again."
Nalan Jing, finding the scene uninteresting, turned and left. Rong Hengyu, watching her retreating figure, called Hongyun in.
When Hongyun entered, her eyes flickered when she saw Qinghui kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Your Excellency, what brings you to my service?"
"Qinghuai has been disrespectful to the Prince. Take him away to receive his punishment."
Hongyun suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief, but when she met Rong Hengyu's cold face, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"...Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
She stepped forward and lifted Qinghui up, who cried out in fear, "Young master, Qinghui really knows she was wrong, please forgive Qinghui this time."
Rong Hengyu ignored his pleas and chased after Nalan Jingwen in the direction he had left without looking back.
Qinghui's face turned ashen.
Nalan Jingwen leaned against the bed and casually picked up a book by Rong Hengyu to read. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the sound.
A fragrant body covered her, took the book from her hand and put it aside, then nestled in her arms.
"Is Your Highness angry?"
With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, Nalan Jingwen showed no extra emotion.
"What are you angry about?"
“Qinghuai is ignorant, and I have already punished him.”
Nalan Jingwen pulled him off her and stared at him intently.
"What punishment?"
Rong Hengyu smiled gently, but his phoenix eyes were dark and unfathomable.
"It's just some minor punishment that can't be brought to the table. Let's not offend Your Highness's ears."
If it were truly just a minor punishment, why would Qinghui be so afraid? He hadn't been afraid of him at all when facing him before.
"Your servant has been with you for so long, are you really willing to part with him?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Hengyu simply chuckled and took her hand, placing it on his waist.
"He's nothing but a servant. He's been by my side for so long and he still hasn't learned to read people's expressions. He has no sense of propriety at all. It's my fault for failing to serve him and he should be punished. If he really is disobedient, there's no need to keep him alive. Just kill him, isn't that right?"
“Your Highness is my wife. Disrespecting you is disrespecting me. I have no need for such a person by my side.”
Nalan Jingwen stared at him, while Rong Hengyu smiled openly, letting her look at him freely.
"Your sudden change is making me a little uncomfortable."
"Didn't His Highness say that I should recognize my place? You are my wife, what's wrong with that?"
Nalan Jingwen rubbed his waist twice and said, "If I were to suffer the same fate one day, would you kill me too?"
