CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: HOW MUCH MUST SHE LIKE HIM TO CALL HIS NAME EVEN IN HER SLEEP?

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she had just fallen asleep, news reached Feng Qiwu.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess Consort waited for you some time and has now gone to sleep," Ling Han reported earnestly.

Ling Ying’s fate had shown him that His Highness cared deeply for the Crown Princess Consort.

Therefore, he had to report all details concerning the Crown Princess Consort to His Highness and continuously monitor her safety, to avoid suffering the same fate as Ling Ying, who was beaten nearly to death.

Feng Qiwu listened and lifted his eyes from the stack of memorials before him, his face softening slightly, "I understand. Continue to watch over her."

With the Great Assembly of all nations happening next month, the interior of the Imperial City was bound to become chaotic, so he needed to lay down security precautions in advance.

Moreover, with enemies stirring on the borders, banditry causing problems in the northwest, he would become increasingly busy.

Although he longed to hold her while sleeping, it was not possible at the moment.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ling Han immediately withdrew in response.

After he departed, Feng Qiwu suppressed his inner restlessness and continued reading the memorials.

But it wasn’t long before Feng Qiwu tossed the memorial out of his hand.

"Xiao Quanzi, what time is it?"

"Your Highness, it’s almost Hai Shi now," Xiao Quanzi cautiously replied.

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but rub his forehead, his eyes and brows full of impatience.

Seeing this, Xiao Quanzi’s mind quickly whirled into action.

The next moment, he carefully asked Feng Qiwu, "Your Highness, are you missing the Crown Princess Consort?"

Feng Qiwu shot him a cold glance.

Wasn’t that obvious?

Xiao Quanzi shuddered slightly and then smiled ingratiatingly, "Your Highness, I do have a good idea. Aren’t the memorials readable anywhere? Why not take them to the Crown Princess Consort’s room?"

In this way, it would also save him the psychological torment of being under His Highness’s gloomy air all night.

Feng Qiwu’s eyes suddenly lit up at Xiao Quanzi’s words.

Then he looked at him with a hint of approval, "Your brain is finally working well!"

Hearing this, Xiao Quanzi immediately relaxed internally, then said with a smile, "Your Highness is right, this servant is indeed foolish."

"Pack up the memorials," Feng Qiwu’s mood visibly brightened.

Xiao Quanzi nodded instantly and carefully placed all the memorials on the desk into a wooden box.

Feng Qiwu then carried the wooden box directly to Bai Susu’s room.

...

Upon entering Bai Susu’s room, Feng Qiwu hurriedly lifted the mosquito net, his deep gaze falling on the sleeping Bai Susu in bed.

Then, gently approaching, he embraced her with the quilt and inhaled deeply the fragrance from her body.

But even such was not enough to satisfy Feng Qiwu.

Taking a breath, he unhesitatingly lowered his head to claim the red lips before him.

In her dreams, Bai Susu quickly found herself struggling to breathe under his kisses.

Her small hand instinctively pushed against the "large stone" in front of her.

Sensing her resistance, Feng Qiwu slowly released her, his eyes, like Phoenix Eyes, ardently watching her rapid breaths.

At that moment, Bai Susu murmured low in her sleep, calling his name, "Shu Kuang..."

Hearing her calling his name even in her dreams, Feng Qiwu was overjoyed.

How much must she like him to be calling his name in her dreams?

In an instant, Feng Qiwu’s smile widened nearly to his ears.

Yet, he did not realize that Bai Susu’s reaction was entirely subconscious.

Because in her mind, the only person she was intimate with was him.

A moment later, Feng Qiwu, in high spirits, gently laid Bai Susu back down.

After watching her for a while, he lit a candle beside her bed and began to review the memorials.

When the candle burned down, Feng Qiwu had Ling Han send the memorials back to the Eastern Palace, then kissed Bai Susu’s lips, taking out a Mystic Gold Bracelet from his person and placing it on her slender, pale wrist.

Bai Susu’s skin was naturally fair, and wearing the mystic gold bracelet only enhanced the delicacy, elegance, and fineness of her forearm.

As Feng Qiwu watched, his gaze gradually darkened.

He couldn’t have imagined that merely showing an arm was enough to allure him.

His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times, and after a moment, Feng Qiwu found himself impulsively lifting Bai Susu’s hand to his lips, then kissed it, finger by finger.

He only released her hand reluctantly when Bai Susu’s fingers twitched slightly as if feeling guilty.

After tucking Bai Susu’s arm back into the quilt, Feng Qiwu watched her for a while longer before finally turning to leave.

If he did not have important matters the next day, he would not have wanted to leave tonight.

...

The next day, Bai Susu awoke feeling refreshed.

Raising her hand to brush hair off her chest, she noticed something unusual.

A mystic gold bracelet had appeared on her wrist unexpectedly.

Evidently, Feng Qiwu had placed it on her hand while she was asleep.

For a moment, Bai Susu curiously examined the bracelet on her wrist.

Soon, Bai Susu discovered an anomaly, a raised bump.

Just as she was about to press it, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly rang in her ear, "Be careful, Crown Princess Consort!"

Startled, Bai Susu looked to see a tall man in black kneeling before her.

Remembering his address of her as "Crown Princess Consort," Bai Susu quickly calmed down, "Are you someone sent by Shu Kuang? What’s your name?"

"An underling by the name of Ling Han, Your Highness sent me to secretly protect you," Ling Han replied with his head lowered.

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu relaxed visibly.

"Rise, do you know what this bracelet is about?" Bai Susu asked.

Ling Han immediately answered, "This is the Mystic Gold Bracelet, an armament given by His Highness. It contains a tranquilizer that can instantly put a person into a comatose state. Simply align the dragon’s eye with the enemy and press the trigger to shoot a very fine tranquilizer needle, which is extremely difficult to detect."

He continued, "His Highness intended to explain this to you personally, but his recent schedule has been hectic, so he hasn’t had the chance to tell you yet."

As a competent subordinate, he must ensure the Crown Princess Consort knew all the efforts the Crown Prince put forth on her behalf.

...

After listening to Ling Han, Bai Susu appeared enlightened.

She had wondered why Feng Qiwu hadn’t visited the night before; turned out he was too busy.

The tranquilizing bracelet, akin to the one in Detective Conan, was quite suitable for her current situation.

With this, she no longer worried about falling prey to Bai Wanwan and Feng Wuchen.

Nodding to Ling Han, she said, "I understand. You may go."

"Yes, Crown Princess Consort!" Ling Han replied, vanishing in a blink, leaving Bai Susu astonished with envy.

Ah, the wonders of knowing martial arts!
