Chapter 402 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 20
Helian Yin sighed, looked up at her, and said, "I would love to do what we did last night, but you..."
His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then moved down inch by inch, his eyes growing increasingly deep.
Yun Qing: !!!
"No, no, no! I was just kidding. Don't look at me like that, it scares me!"
She quickly wrapped her slightly loose nightgown tighter, then pulled the blanket over herself to cover herself completely, looking at him warily. "My back hurts, I'm going to sleep. You can go ahead and do your work. Remember to wake me up for lunch later."
As she spoke, she rolled down, wrapped herself in the blanket, lay flat, closed her eyes, and looked peaceful.
A moment later, she felt Helian Yin's hand slip under the covers, and the way it slipped in was quite suggestive.
Yun Qing grabbed his hand, opened her eyes and glared at him, "Couldn't you have waited until tonight?"
Helian Yin raised an eyebrow. "Can we wait until tonight?"
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Something feels off; I have a feeling of being taken advantage of.
Helian Yin stroked her waist, "I thought you'd have to rest tonight..."
Yun Qing: ...
She asked, puzzled, "Then what are you doing now?"
"Didn't you say your back hurt?"
Helian Yin patted her waist as he spoke, "Lie down properly, I'll give you a massage."
"Oh……"
Yun Qing rolled over and lay face down. Helian Yin lifted the blanket off her, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and placed his hands on her waist.
Helian Yin found the acupoints accurately, and Yun Qing was so comfortable that she closed her eyes and hummed. Just as she was about to praise his skills, Helian Yin suddenly picked her up.
In her dizziness, Yun Qing went from lying on the bed to straddling his lap.
Her nightgown was loose, revealing her neck and collarbone covered in ambiguous marks that stretched downwards, sparking the imagination.
Helian Yin, without changing his expression, lifted her clothes up, revealing her slender waist.
Yunqing felt a chill in her waist, and a chill in her heart as well.
She hurriedly patted her clothes, and when her gaze swept over them, she noticed that there were fingerprints on both sides of her waist.
Yun Qing: ...He does keep his word. He said he wouldn't strangle her, so he left her with a breath!
Whether he wanted Yun Qing to know that he hadn't changed at all and was no different from last night, Helian Yin was now making no attempt to hide the desire in his eyes.
But he remained completely serious, reaching out to push her hand away and saying, "What are you covering up? If you cover up, I won't be able to find the acupoints."
Yun Qing glared at him angrily, "I don't believe you for a second!"
Helian Yin chuckled as he watched her bristle. "Don't worry, I won't touch you now. Didn't we agree on tonight?"
Yun Qing: Who said that to you?!
Helian Yin actually held her in his arms and carefully massaged her waist.
Yun Qing boldly bit his shoulder, and the next moment she stiffened and became obedient.
Helian Yin gently stroked her waist and said calmly, "Relax a little. How can I massage you like this?"
Yun Qing relaxed, but still said with concern, "Breaking one's word is not the act of a gentleman." He had promised not to touch her now; he couldn't be such a beast!
"Don't worry..." I said I'd serve you tonight, and I'll definitely serve you well.
He didn't say this aloud, lest she get angry again; it was best for him to rest now.
Yun Qing felt so comfortable being massaged that she rubbed her cheek against his neck, and her eyelids started to droop.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, someone outside said respectfully, "Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived."
Yun Qing blinked, raised her head, and became slightly more awake.
Oh, right, Helian Yin just said something happened in the palace last night.
Helian Yin pressed her head back down and said softly, "It's nothing serious, you can go to sleep."
Then he said to the people outside, "I am on my wedding day and will not see anyone."
The noise outside quickly subsided.
Yun Qing rested her chin on his shoulder, yawned, and asked with her eyes half-closed, "What happened in the palace last night?"
She thought it was an assassination attempt like at a palace banquet, or some kind of power struggle or framing in the harem.
But then Helian Yin said calmly, "His Majesty wanted to do something underhanded during our wedding, so I sent one of his sons to his death as a warning."
Yun Qing: !!!
How could you talk about something so big in such a calm tone?
She asked worriedly, "Won't His Majesty cause you trouble?"
Does the arrival of someone from the palace mean they want him to enter the palace so His Majesty can question him face-to-face?
Helian Yin sneered, "The Third Prince attempted to force the emperor to abdicate, which was a heinous crime. He deserved to be killed by a hail of arrows. What does it have to do with me?"
"All I did was fail to personally enter the palace to save His Majesty on our wedding night. Isn't His Majesty perfectly fine? Wasn't this marriage bestowed by His Majesty himself?"
"If Your Majesty is so unreasonable and insists on punishing me, then you are forcing me to rebel."
Looking at his fierce appearance, Yun Qing couldn't help but shrink into his arms and muttered, "You're so scary."
Helian Yin ran his fingertips through her hair, gently stroking her soft strands, his tone instantly softening, "Don't be afraid, your husband will protect you."
Yun Qing: ...You scared me, and now you're going to protect me?
However, she didn't dwell on the question. Instead, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering in his ear, "Do you want to be the emperor?"
Helian Yin tilted his head slightly, kissed her earlobe, and instead of answering her question, asked, "Then do you want to be the empress?"
Yun Qing felt a little itchy, so she shrank her neck, hugged him tighter, and then shook her head.
"The palace is no fun. There are so many rules, and you are not free at all. If you do something slightly out of line, people will seize on it and make a big fuss about it."
"If you protect me, you'll become a tyrant."
"And there will definitely be people forcing you to take concubines. If you are not willing, I will be cursed as a wicked empress by a group of people."
"Just thinking about it is annoying."
Helian Yin nodded, "Alright, then I won't take the job."
Yun Qing hesitated and said, "If you want to..."
Helian Yin directly dispelled her concerns, saying, "If I wanted to, I wouldn't have pushed Helian Ye to the throne in the first place, and I wouldn't still be struggling to usurp the throne."
Unfortunately, Helian Ye knew this but still doubted him, fearing that people's hearts were fickle, that he would care about brotherhood but not uncle-nephew relationship, and that after his death, all his sons would be killed by him.
It was precisely because Helian Ye knew how much effort his younger brother had put into his ascension to the throne that he was even more wary of him.
Yun Qing hummed in agreement, and then said, "If... I mean if, we're really forced to that point, you don't need to worry too much about my feelings."
"You should know that if anything happens to you, I, the Regent's wife, will suffer terribly. Compared to that, I would rather be the Empress."
Helian Yin smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. The right path is the one that provides you with good food and drink."
Yun Qing nodded repeatedly, then hummed softly, "I also need you to be with me."
Helian Yin tightened his grip on her waist, then restrained himself and moved his hand down to pat her back. "Okay, go to sleep for a while. Don't worry so much."
Yun Qing hadn't slept enough. After saying what she needed to say, she fell asleep peacefully, still muttering about wanting to eat meat in her sleep.
Helian Yin carefully placed her on the bed, patted her head, kissed her forehead, then looked down at her sleeping face and chuckled, "It's good that you're happy after eating your fill."
He hoped that she could always be this happy.
Some favors don't need to be shown.
