Chapter 185 Unruly, Ruthless, and Cunning Prince (Gong) VS Debauched, Insane, and Sickly Emperor (Sh
"You break off all those women in your harem, my dear. I'll cherish you and protect the empire for you for the rest of my life."
His voice seemed to come from the heavens, low and husky, almost ethereal.
Yet it is also so like the wind, carrying the open-mindedness, unruliness and arrogance unique to the Northern Plains.
It irresistibly entered Jiang Xiyu's ears and the hearts of everyone present.
Jiang Xiyu seemed to suddenly lose her voice, opening her lips but unable to utter a word.
"..."
The instinctive reaction of everyone who witnessed it was to kneel on the ground.
Yuan Huan flicked his finger and whistled, and the Snow-Treading Black Steed came running like an arrow and came to a steady stop in front of him.
Yuan Huan lifted Jiang Xiyu onto his horse with one arm, held her tightly in his arms, tightened the reins, and rode the Snow-Treading Black Steed into the night.
Garuda spread its wings and swept across the sky above the camp, its cry rousing the stunned crowd inside.
Everything happened so fast that by the time they realized what was happening, the horses and people had already disappeared from sight in the distance.
Chaos erupted outside the camp, with shouts rising and falling.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty! Someone come quick! Your Majesty has been taken away by the Crown Prince!"
"Good heavens, where are they taking His Majesty?"
"His Majesty cannot ride a horse like this! Guards! Quickly, someone must follow and protect him!"
Hearing the commotion, Le Yuan rushed over, completely bewildered, and happened to bump into Zhao Bai, asking what had happened.
Zhao Bai's face fell, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Crown Prince got drunk and kidnapped His Majesty..."
Le Yuan: "..."
When the prince is drunk, he is indeed prone to doing some frightening things.
I remember the last time the Crown Prince got drunk, he acted like nothing had happened and took stock of his troops overnight. Then he led his army to wander aimlessly around the border. If the Prince hadn't come to his aid, the Crown Prince might have actually dared to launch an attack while he was drunk.
The key point is that no one suspected the prince was drunk that time. His drunken state was no different from his usual state, so from then on, the prince forbade the prince from drinking.
As it turned out, even after arriving in the capital, the Crown Prince hadn't changed his ways and actually kidnapped His Majesty.
In this capital city, the Crown Prince, drunk, actually dares to cause trouble.
After a moment's hesitation, the two mounted their horses and gave chase.
A gentle night breeze blows, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Horse hooves shattered the silence of the long night, and Garuda flew overhead to point the way.
By the faint moonlight, two inseparable figures were carried on the snow-covered black horse.
Jiang Xiyu hadn't ridden a horse much, and he grabbed Yuan Huan's arm, asking, "Where are you taking me?"
Yuan Huan suddenly laughed, spurred his horse into the night, and shouted, "I'm going to take you back to Beiyuan!"
Jiang Xiyu was slightly taken aback, but after hearing it clearly, she angrily retorted, "Are you crazy!"
"Even if I'm crazy, it's because of you tormenting me." Yuan Huan said with a laugh in the wind, "Come back to Beiyuan with me, and I'll give you whatever you want."
"How dare you! I am the emperor!"
The night breeze swept away the heat, but Jiang Xiyu's face turned red with anger.
Yuan Huan spoke without thinking, whispering nonsense in his ear, "That's why I'm going to steal you away, steal you home, and not let anyone else see you."
Jiang Xiyu nudged him with her elbow and said haltingly, "I don't want to go."
Yuan Huan wasn't afraid of the pain or flinching; he simply wrapped his arms around him even tighter, pulling him towards his chest, and coaxed him softly, "I'll take you across the plains, take you to see the highest mountains and the most beautiful rivers. I'll take you horseback riding, falconry, build you a palace, hunt the best things for you, and buy you the most expensive gems. As much as you like, I'll give you..."
As he spoke, his tone suddenly became serious: "Whatever you want, I'll give you. I'll give you my life, okay?"
Jiang Xiyu was pressed into his arms, and he was a little out of breath. He said, "If you don't let me down, you'll kill me."
The little emperor is too wicked.
Yuan Huan did not believe it.
His chin rested on Jiang Xiyu's head, and he said with heavy breathing, "You lied to me, I won't let you go."
"I'm not lying to you." Jiang Xiyu gripped his arm tightly, feeling a wave of nausea in her stomach.
He tilted his head back and raised his voice, trying to make sure Yuan Huan could hear him clearly in the wind, and said, "I'm not lying to you, stop, Yuan Huan, stop, I'm in pain..."
"I can't breathe..."
Yuan Huan suddenly pulled on the reins, and the Snow-Treading Black Steed slowed down.
Jiang Xiyu looked up but couldn't see Yuan Huan's face clearly, though she could feel his hot breath, which smelled of alcohol.
The shadows on his face grew heavier, and Jiang Xiyu seemed to sense some danger, so he quickly turned his head to avoid them.
But Yuan Huan refused.
He quickly raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Xiyu's throat, pulling him towards him in that instant, and then lowered his head to give him a fierce kiss.
Breath was taken away, and in its place came an even stronger breath.
Jiang Xiyu looked like she was about to be scalded to death.
He tried to push away, telling himself not to breathe, but the hand around his waist was so irresistible.
Yuan Huan will neither let him escape again nor let him go.
He was forceful, holding Jiang Xiyu as if he wanted to embed her into his arms.
The high walls built by desire are always precarious, and the beast trapped in the cage can break free at any time.
Yuan Huan no longer suppressed or restrained himself.
He wanted to kiss this person; he had been thinking about it for a long time, almost to the point of madness.
If you're going to go crazy, then go completely crazy.
To possess the brilliance of the jade, to smell its hidden fragrance, to strip it clean, so that it too may possess desires like one's own...
Jiang Xiyu could neither stop nor resist.
Tears welled up in my eyes before I could catch them, and my sobs were all mingled with the night wind.
Yuan Huan wouldn't let him go.
Would Jiang Xiyu really let him go?
The silver frost cast by the moonlight was so cold, and the wet, upturned eyes were so gloomy, with greed, anger, and delusion so heavy that they seemed to be crushing all reason...
An emperor's ambition is to receive whatever he gives.
Jiang Xiyu will not lose; he simply cannot allow himself to fall.
So even when he was about to suffocate, he was unwilling to let go.
The wind stirred Jiang Xiyu's long, black hair, and those three thousand strands brushed up to chase after Yuan Huan's hair.
The strands of hair tangled and intertwined in the air, seemingly locked in a battle of wills, yet inextricably linked.
After an unknown amount of time, the horse's hooves stopped, the silver threads parted, and the strands of hair fell down.
"Jiang Yan." Yuan Huan murmured these two words with deep tenderness, his heart softening as if it were about to melt away.
As their noses brushed against each other, he gasped for breath and murmured in a hoarse voice as if bewitched, "I want you, Jiang Yan."
Yuan Huan stared intently into Jiang Xiyu's eyes, his gaze no longer sharp, but lovingly stroking his eyebrows and eyes, then kissing his rosy lips along the high bridge of his nose, repeatedly murmuring, in a low, hoarse voice, "I want you."
"I want to be your lover..."
Those words drifted gently in the wind, carrying with them a resolute surrender.
Jiang Xiyu felt his soul tremble upon hearing this, and after a moment, he chuckled softly, panting.
He laughed heartily, and he laughed wildly.
Laughter echoed softly, along with the moonlight, as if mocking Yuan Huan for his defeat.
The eagle before him no longer seemed like a wild and untamed creature; he finally lowered his proud head.
So every "I want you" he uttered seemed to transform into a demand for exchange, a desire to be tamed, a willingness to do anything...
Because he was incredibly audacious; he wanted to become His Majesty's lover.
