Chapter 5 Seducing the Emperor

Aghia jerked back to her senses and was so startled by him that she fell backwards and sat on her knees the moment before she was swept into a wide, dominant embrace.

The embrace was short and instantly parted, as if Xie Jie had only pulled her gently and quickly released her.

But Aghia was keenly aware of the warmth of those hands resting on her waist, and the not-so-light but ambiguous nudges.

She was so moved by the tingling of her vertebrae that sweat oozed from her forehead, just like a peony wet with dew.

One can't help but think that underneath her clothes, whether she has also been soaked with fragrant sweat.

"I don't dare."

Aghia's ears burned red from his actions, her face flew hazy, she mumbled, her eyes seemed like a pool of spring water, containing watery intent, and people could not help but want to bully.

How can he be so dissolute.

Aghia was shocked and ashamed to be shackled by Xie Jie in such a strong way, she couldn't help but shrink her body.

Xie Jie did not say anything, but only looked at her steadily, his eyes made Aghia's heart shiver.

In her previous life, every time he stared at her like this, a fierce and terrible love affair followed.

Aghia panicked, afraid that Xie Jie really misunderstood, aggrieved frowned, pursed her lips to look at him, timidly pleaded, "Your Majesty, you redress my grievances. I am grateful in my heart. How dare I disrespect you?"

She is so genuine, so pure, so naive that a single word can break her and make her cry with sadness.

Xie Jie's heart has a few bad thoughts, his eyes darken, and does not speak, but wraps his bony fingers around her silk, carelessly, as if he just casually asked, "Do you want to enter the palace?"

The world's riches are all in the palace, and becoming an imperial concubine is the dream of many women.

The opportunity to fly up is right in front of you, Aghia. Do you want it?

Aghia stared at him in a daze, her eyes slightly rounded because of surprise, more like a frightened cat.

Only in the place he could not see, the fingers in the sleeve suddenly clenched, and quickly loosened.

The palace, the high point of the Great Xu's power. If she could win Xie Jie's love and convince the Great Xu to send troops, she might be able to kill her way back to the Northern Rong and avenge her parents' death.

The palace is the golden cage that trapped Aghia in her past life and the ladder to revenge in this life.

Aghia's mind is stirred, half with fear, half with determination.

But now is not the time to promise Xie Jie.

Aghia suppressed the darkness in her eyes, as if stunned by this sudden proposal, dumbfounded, looking at Xie Jie for a long time, did not answer.

Xie Jie also seems to be just a tease, the pair of abyss-like eyes, with a predator's posture, swept through her hair and eyebrows, not moving to twist the red plum in his hand.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

"You shall go now."

He said to Aghia, the corners of his lips curved out in a meaningful arc, and pinned the red plum back into her hair, brushing the pistil with little concern, his tone inaudible happy or angry.

Aghia seemed to have just reacted and was a bit at a loss. She couldn't help but glance at him with a desire to speak, and then pursed her lips, slowly got up with the help of Zhou Zhong, and walked out.

This first encounter is enough to leave a deep impression in Xie Jie's heart.

But to say that he is moved, there are still a few less stunning, less a scene that can make him recall countless times.

Near the corner, Aghia suddenly turned around and gave a deep salute to Xie Jie, revealing the first bright smile of the day.

At that moment, it was as if the light of day had broken and the ice had melted.

Xie Jie swayed, his heart suddenly moved, he twisted the fingers holding the red plum, lightly laughed, eyes full of interest.

He went on this tour and met such a beauty, it was really an unexpected pleasure.

Zhou Zhong saw that he kept looking at the direction where Aghia disappeared, and after a moment of speculation in his heart, he could not help but go forward and ask in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, this girl... you want me to arrange?"

What to arrange, naturally Aghia will be cleaned up and dressed, sent into His Majesty's room.

Xie Jie grunted and looked askance at him, until he looked at him in a cold sweat, before he slowly spoke, with a bit of warning and displeasure, "Zhou Zhong, you are getting too much."

When did it become the turn of a lackey to arrange for whoever the Emperor wanted and what the Emperor wanted to do?

Zhou Zhong was so frightened that his legs went weak and he hurriedly knelt down, knocking the green stone bricks with a loud sound, his voice trembling, "I don't dare!"

Xie Jie retracted his gaze, slightly narrowed his eyes, snorted, thoughtfully glanced towards the hall, his voice low, containing some trapper's arrogance, muttered to himself, "What's the point of getting it too easily?"

Aghia naturally did not know the following in the hall after she left.

By now she had returned to her small courtyard, closed the wood door behind her, lit the faint oil lamp, and sat down in front of the bronze mirror.

She raised her hand and gently removed the red plum, casually put it on the corner of the table, looked at her own blurred reflection in the mirror, made an expression of wanting to cry, pear blossom with rain, so pitiful, the next second, and slowly returned to calm.

The breathing of Liu Nu on the bed was so weak that it was almost inaudible, she closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, as if she was talking to herself, her voice was soft, with a mocking smile.

"The initiative is always light and cheap, only the one that is snatched with a thousand efforts is the most precious."

She want to plot Xie Jie's love, letting the Great Xu's Emperor bend for her. Her every step must be taken just right.

She have to make Xie Jie feel that he is the hunter and that she is just the innocent prey being forced into a trap.

Aghia's eyebrows arched and her eyes were obscure and indistinct.

Xie Jie, Your Majesty, you must not disappoint me in this painstaking effort.
