Chapter 429 Stirring the Heartstrings
Six eyes facing each other.
Xie Xing stretched out a hand with a wronged expression, "Your Highness, I've come to keep you company."
"Am I really your most loyal supporter?"
Jun Lanjin: "..."
"Pfft!" Jun Lanjin spat out the tea in his mouth.
He looked at Xie Xing in shock: "Why are you here?"
How do I get here?
[I also want to ask, is the Empress Dowager alright? She inexplicably locked me up here and now wants me to have a child with Prince Jin!]
[They said it's just the two of them here, so I'll definitely get pregnant easily?]
【May I ask you this? Isn't Hua An a human being? Didn't the Empress Dowager treat Hua An as a human being?】
How am I supposed to get pregnant?! How am I supposed to get pregnant?!
I conceived despite not having sperm!
Xie Xing was inwardly furious, but outwardly she gave Jun Lanjin a polite yet elegant smile:
"Your Highness, it's like this, the Empress Dowager is worried that you'll be lonely alone at the Star-Picking Tower, oh wait..."
Xie Xing's gaze fell on Hua An, and he gave an apologetic look: "The Empress Dowager was worried that you and Hua An would not be able to have a child in the Star-Picking Tower, so she specially sent me to the Star-Picking Tower to keep you company and have a child while she was at it."
Jun Lanjin: "..."
His face suddenly turned bright red.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Nonsense!"
Jun Lanjin turned his head away to hide the embarrassment in his voice and the burning redness on his face.
What kind of talk about tigers and wolves?
Xie Xing blinked innocently. She walked to Jun Lanjin's side and placed the spices given to her by the Empress Dowager from her bundle in front of him.
"What I said is absolutely true, Your Highness. This is a love potion. Once it's lit, Your Highness will be able to have a child with me."
Jun Lanjin: "..."
Hua An: "..."
Hua An immediately lowered his head and looked around to see if there was a hole he could squeeze into!
At this moment, Hua An felt that he was somewhat superfluous.
Jun Lanjin closed his eyes, a vein throbbing on his forehead. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he smacked Xie Xing with a spike.
"Such absurd words should not be uttered."
"A young woman should know shame!"
"How old are you?"
As Jun Lanjin spoke, he glanced at Xie Xing from head to toe.
Upon seeing this, Junlan paused for a moment.
Although Xie Xing still looks somewhat immature, he has matured over time compared to when we first met.
but--
This is not a reason for her to utter such shocking words!
Xie Xing covered his head, even feeling somewhat wronged.
"Your Highness, I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying."
Jun Lanjin knew, of course, that Xie Xing was not lying.
With Xie Xing's abilities, it was naturally impossible for him to get in.
He glanced at the aphrodisiac incense on the table and said calmly, "I told the Empress Dowager and the Emperor that my mother had given me a slow-acting poison, and that I am about to die."
"Perhaps the Empress Dowager is worried that I might die one day, so she specially sent you here, hoping that you will conceive my child."
Xie Xing blinked.
She looked around, then moved closer to Jun Lanjin and asked, "If that's the case, why did His Majesty imprison you in this Star-Picking Tower?"
[Wasn't Jun Lanjin the emperor's favorite son? Why was he imprisoned?]
Jun Lanjin glanced at Xie Xing, who had moved closer to him. He was about to reach out and touch Xie Xing's forehead to tell him to move away, but then he remembered their previous relationship and his fingers twitched. In the end, he let Xie Xing go.
He said, "I have made an agreement with Your Majesty to have Your Majesty use this as a pretext to lure the snake out of its hole and find out the purpose of the person behind it."
Xie Xing glanced at the doorway, recalling the chain that was locked several times, and then he remembered the scene in the story where Jun Lanjin perished in a sea of fire.
She thought for a moment and said, "But His Majesty's treatment of this person doesn't seem like it's just for show with a prince."
"Yes or no…"
Just as Xie Xing was about to speak, Jun Lanjin pressed a finger to his lips.
"Shhh."
"It cannot be spoken of," Jun Lanjin said calmly. "His Majesty has his reasons."
Xie Xing suddenly fell silent.
She pursed her lips and blinked.
Jun Lanjin then released his grip.
The top floor was just an attic with only one bed. Hua An slept on a makeshift bed on the floor.
But now that Xie Xing has arrived, things are awkward.
Their eyes met, and Hua An said, "I will reserve my own bunk for Miss Fifth."
Jun Lanjin raised his hand and said, "No need, Xie Xing will sleep with me."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xing looked at Jun Lanjin in astonishment.
[Your Highness, isn't this putting my willpower to the test?]
Jun Lanjin heard his thoughts and turned to look at Xie Xing: "Back in the Xie residence, we slept in the same bed before."
"Besides, you are destined to marry me as my concubine and sleep in the same bed. It is only natural."
Xie Xing: "..."
She was led to the bed by Jun Lanjin, and by the time she realized what was happening, the two of them were already lying flat on the bed.
Xie Xing stared at the ceiling in the attic with his eyes open, and as he looked, he was not sleepy at all.
She turned her head and met Jun Lanjin's fair, porcelain-like face, so exquisite that it was flawless.
Xie Xing looked at Jun Lanjin with curiosity and moved closer to examine him.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Jun Lanjin's skin was so smooth that it didn't even have pores.
That's outrageous!
Xie Xing continued upwards, revealing a high, straight nose, pale pink lips, exquisite and superior features, even her eyelashes were long…
As Xie Xing was looking at him, the face suddenly turned around and faced her directly. The thick eyelashes parted, revealing a pair of dark eyes.
Ink black as jade.
Looking at them up close, Xie Xing could feel the allure of those eyes, as if they were about to draw him in.
Xie Xing's breath hitched.
Jun Lanjin looked at her for a long while before finally speaking, "Have you seen enough?"
Xie Xing blinked, then shook his head.
She turned over and lay face down on the bed, propping her cheeks up with her hands, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is so handsome, I can never get enough of looking at you."
Jun Lanjin closed his eyes helplessly.
He really didn't want to pay attention to Xie Xing, but the gaze of the person beside him was so intense it felt like it was burning him up, disturbing his mind.
With someone sleeping beside him, Jun Lanjin naturally couldn't fall asleep.
"Your Highness." Just then, Xie Xing suddenly leaned close to Jun Lanjin's ear, his warm, moist breath sending a jolt through Jun Lanjin's body as if an electric current had struck him.
Jun Lanjin's body stiffened, his eyelashes trembled, and then he sat up abruptly from the bed as if he had been startled.
"Your Majesty?"
Xie Xing looked at Jun Lanjin blankly.
Jun Lanjin's breathing faltered for a moment. He turned his head and saw Xie Xing's pure eyes, as if she didn't understand what she had done at all.
Jun Lanjin slammed his forehead into a furious gesture.
With a dark expression, he reached out and covered Xie Xing's face.
"What are you doing?" Junlan Jinmei said irritably.
