Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 452 - 441: Infiltrating the Palace at Midnight
The gaze of Xue Yinzhou withdrew from Shen Tang, and his usually silent demeanor showed rare curiosity, "What happened?"
"Uh, it’s a bit complicated to explain. I’ll tell you on the way, but for now, let’s take the injured back."
Xiao Jin was carried back to the palace, and after his wounds were cleaned, Shen Tang stayed to help heal him.
Jia Lan and the others left first to deal with other matters.
This time the Imperial Army won a great victory, but many Beastman Warriors were killed or wounded. The injured soldiers brought back were immediately taken to the hospital for treatment, and there were many families of beastman who died in battle who needed condolences and aid.
Once those who were in the way left, Xiao Jin eagerly pulled Shen Tang into his arms and gave her a fierce kiss, "Tangtang...my Tangtang...I’ve missed you so much!"
With his arms tightly wrapped around her, he wished he could swallow her whole, unable to soothe his longing for her!
Shen Tang let him hold her with such passion that she was finding it hard to breathe.
She gently pushed him away, both amused and exasperated, "Weren’t you seriously injured? How do you still have the strength to hug me? Lie down quickly, and I’ll treat you."
Xiao Jin buried his head in her hair, deeply inhaling her lingering fragrance with obsession, "You’re my painkiller. Whenever I see you, I don’t hurt anymore."
"..." Hmm! Still the same slick tongue.
Satisfied, Xiao Jin held Shen Tang in his arms, smell her scent, feeling relaxed and comfortable, whispering over and over, "I missed you..."
Shen Tang’s heart softened at his words.
She set aside her playful expression, and leaned up to kiss his lips, "I missed you too."
Xiao Jin’s eyes lit up, bright as the morning sun.
Shen Tang feared that his excitement would aggravate his wounds. She quickly pinned him down onto the bed and sternly warned, "If you don’t behave, I’ll be angry. Lie here obediently while I heal you."
Xiao Jin lay flat on the bed, maybe he really was in pain, he became much more obedient.
His bright golden eyes still stared at her intensely.
Shen Tang focused on ignoring his gaze, letting a gentle green healing ability emerge from her palm, earnestly treating his wounds, including broken bones.
Xiao Jin was seriously injured, but Shen Tang, now wielding top-level healing ability, managed the treatment without much difficulty.
After finishing the healing, Xiao Jin once again wrapped his arms around her, leaning down for a tender and lingering deep kiss. Seemingly unsatisfied, he flipped her under him, passionately kissing her rosy lips, tirelessly saying, "Tangtang, I love you, will you stay with me tonight?"
Xiao Jin looked at Shen Tang with a burning gaze, filled with a certain unspeakable desire.
Just back from the battlefield and encountering his mating season—
He thirsted for her company!
Desperately thirsted!
Shen Tang originally thought to agree, but alas, Jia Lan had drained her beforehand!
That fish used to be so obedient, but indeed was holding back ill intentions! Ever since he learned the curse power vanished, he stopped pretending, eager to drain her dry.
Xiao Jin’s drive was even fiercer, imagining days ahead of continuous intimacy, even with an iron will, she couldn’t endure!
"Cough, I’m a bit tired tonight, we’ll talk tomorrow." Mermaids have strong explosive waist power... she touched her waist, still aching!
Xiao Jin felt a bit regretful but noticed she was indeed tired today, so he didn’t push further, just quietly holding her.
His long Black Panther tail coiled around her calf, gently caressing.
After days and nights of warfare, enjoying a moment of serene peace.
Shen Tang touched his soft black curls, leaning close to his ear, softly coaxing a phrase, "I love you too."
The man’s body seemed to stiffen briefly, his arms tightened, drawing her close against him. A deep, low hum rolled from his throat. His panther tail tightened around her thigh, wishing to merge as one.
Did this little female know that saying this now...
Humph.
Hold on, tomorrow is another day.
Shen Tang quietly nestled in Xiao Jin’s arms, leaning against his broad, solid chest, listening to the fiery, rapid heartbeat, her heart grew ever quiet.
Lately, she faced many distressful matters, one after another.
Rebellions everywhere, rebel army continuous attacks, Living Corpse Army’s reappearance, and tasks over at Yiyuan Empire...
These days she was busy and quite worn.
However, having them around made things seem a lot better.
Shen Tang gazed at the bright moonlight outside, her thoughts wandering far.
In a few days, Shen Li should have returned home as well.
Shen Tang paused, pulled at the corners of her lips lightly.
Why would she think of him?
So disappointing.
That fox... always knows how to provoke.
...
The Imperial Palace of Yiyuan Empire was shrouded in heavy night, suffocatingly oppressive.
A tall figure appeared outside the palace.
Ge Chen staggered forward, tears flowing, "Your Majesty! You’re finally back!"
His voice trembled, "The entire Empire is facing crisis, everyone, from ministers to ordinary people, are utterly anxious. If you don’t show yourself, the Empire might fall into chaos!"
"No worries, this Emperor is now back." Shen Li said with one hand behind him, moonlight outlining his deep and cold features, "Cut to the chase."
"Since Your Majesty left, the court has been in turmoil, with many secretly plotting." Ge Chen hastily offered a secret dossier, "This is the investigation you commissioned. It’s all clarified."
Shen Li received the dossier but didn’t review it immediately.
Ge Chen was unaware of his anomaly, lowering his voice to explain, "As Your Majesty suspected, the Spiritual Sparrow Clan of Northern Frontier colluded with Regent King’s remnants, concealing ambitions, secretly raising troops... These are the collected secret communications!"
After hearing, Shen Li called without turning, "Qiu Yang."
Qiu Yang stepped forward, "Does Your Majesty wish for me to eliminate the entire clan, or only take the Family Head’s head?"
"Not yet." Shen Li’s voice sounded gentle and enchanting in the moonlight, "Though the Spirit Sparrow Clan may not rival the Nine-tailed Fox Family, they are after all a century-old clan with deep foundation and many masters..."
He suddenly chuckled, "I recall they have a cherished only son, treasured more than life itself."
Qiu Yang’s eyes flashed with understanding, "Understood!"
Before finishing, Qiu Yang disappeared.
Ge Chen didn’t expect that old fox returned, curiously glanced, and then recalled, hastily asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, should the wedding proceed?"
Shen Li casually produced evidence, tossing to him, "Draft a decree for me, the Wu Family bribed court ministers, formed factions, committed Empire grave crimes, angering ancestors, revoking marriage agreement, reclaiming territory, demoting to commoners—"
"However, considering the Wu Family’s generations of dedication to the Empire, specifically grant pardons, retain lands and noble status, banished to the Northern Border, within ten years, not allowed to step out."
"The wedding is canceled immediately."
Ge Chen upon hearing these words, his heart shook, never imagining Your Majesty would act against the Wu Family!
Yet, with evidence presented, enough to convict Wu Family with grave crimes!
On the other side, the Head of the Wu Family and Wu Qing waited not for good news, but emperor’s decree cancelling marriage and exiling the entire clan to borderlands!
The reason, merely for bribing officials?!
This crime did indeed violate imperial law, but frankly, it’s a common tactic among aristocrats, even the Royal Family didn’t exempt, all dynasties turned a blind eye.
That despicable Ji Jiuli dared justify convicting their Wu Family, wishful thinking indeed!
Wu Qing and Family Head were immediately furious, leading troops for a midnight palace attack.
