Chapter 382 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 25
Xiao Yuan came in with a sword in hand, dressed in black, swept by the cold wind. The candlelight flickered in the wind, and his dark eyes stared down at her condescendingly.

Lin Zhi exclaimed in surprise and immersed herself in the water, revealing only her snow-white shoulders, her face flushed: "Your Majesty, you, why are you here?"

He unconsciously covered his chest with his hands, feeling awkward.

I somewhat regret that I should have listened to Lu Yi's advice and put some flower petals in the bath. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how to hide like now.

"Your Majesty, how about asking the palace maid to bring you a cup of tea first? I will finish cleaning and come over right away."

Xiao Yuan walked closer step by step and stood beside the bathtub. He had a chilly aura around him and his cold gaze swept from her eyebrows to her white collarbone inch by inch.

Lin Zhi couldn't help but stop talking.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of the sword in his hand and was startled. Could it be that he had a headache again and just killed someone and then came here?

Looking closely, it was clear that something was wrong with Xiao Yuan. His eyes were cold and there was not even a smile on his face. He came in and didn't say a word.

Xiao Yuan reached out, pinched her chin, and leaned down.

Lin Zhi's breathing suddenly became lighter. She looked at that intimidating handsome face approaching and felt his extremely dark eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Suddenly, the hand on her chin exerted force and she was forced to turn her head. The next moment, she felt a pain in her neck.

The warm lips touched her skin, but were bitten hard in an instant, causing her to gasp in pain.

I was completely confused. Isn't he a dog? He bites people without saying a word.

But he is the emperor, so she can only bear it silently.

After a while, he finally let go and turned her face back to look at her. There was still blood on the corners of his lips, which made his gloomy face look even more evil. Lin Zhi was silent, thinking that this would definitely leave a scar.

Her eyelashes were stained with tears, and her clear black eyes looked at him moistly. She bit her lip with a look of grievance on her face, but she didn't dare to ask.

The dog man loosened her teeth that were biting her lower lip and asked slowly, "Does it hurt?"

Lin Zhi nodded obediently.

Xiao Yuan said in a light voice: "I will be gentler next time."

Linzhi? ? Listen, is this human language? There will be next time.

Her arm was grabbed and he seemed to be lifting her up. Lin Zhi finally panicked and hid in the water to stop him: "Your Majesty, you, you go out first. I'll put on my clothes and come out, okay?" Although they slept in each other's arms, they were not yet at the stage of being frank with each other. She was not thick-skinned enough.

Xiao Yuan glanced over and saw that her cheeks were rosy and she looked shy.

He snorted softly and stared at her: "Do you have anything to tell me?" His tone was light.

Lin Zhi was flustered by him at this time. She didn't know what he meant. She thought he was unhappy about being rejected, so she said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I will compensate you later, okay?"

The woman smiled brightly and spoke in a flattering tone, looking particularly docile.

He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll wait." He let go of the smooth skin on his hands, turned around and walked out.

Lin Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, then quickly called the people in green to come in. She hurriedly changed her clothes behind the screen and dried her hair. Then she used a jade hairpin to tie up her loose hair and went out.

Seeing Xiao Yuan sitting at the table, Chief Steward Gao was standing beside him with his back bent, and the sword was placed casually on the table.

Seeing her come out, Chief Steward Gao called her "Madam", and then led the other palace maids out of the room.

There were only two people left in the room. Xiao Yuan was playing with a jade pendant in his hand, and his aura was still cold. He slowly walked over and sat down opposite: "Your Majesty, today..."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyes: "Where is the compensation for my beloved concubine?"

Lin Zhi choked, but she felt a little embarrassed thinking about the things she had given him. She stood up and walked to the dressing mirror to look through them. She took a small box in her hand and walked back, saying, "It's just a small thing that I found in the box before."

Hand over the small box.

Xiao Yuan didn't say anything and opened it casually. What came into view were two small clay figures, a boy and a girl. The boy looked like a scholar and the girl was just an ordinary woman.

Lin Zhi explained somewhat timidly: "It's just a clay figurine made by craftsmen outside the palace. It's not as valuable as the things in the palace. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, just return it to me." After all, they are obviously a couple, but she is just a concubine, not the queen. It would be bad if he thinks that she gave this to him because she coveted the position of queen.

However, she saw this clay figurine when she was strolling outside the palace these days. She found that the male clay figurine actually looked a bit like Xiao Yuan, so she bought it.

"No need." Xiao Yuan said, "I think it's pretty good."

Putting the box on the table, Xiao Yuan looked at her. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but his expression seemed to soften a bit.

Seeing him looking at her with deep eyes, she understood something and walked up to him tentatively: "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yuan raised his hand, and she followed the force and sat on his lap.

Xiao Yuan buried his face in the woman's neck. Lin Zhi shuddered, a little afraid that he would bite her again. Fortunately, Xiao Yuan did not go crazy again, and she gradually let down her guard.

She inhaled the familiar scent. Even though the room was still filled with a different fragrance, it couldn't conceal the warm scent emanating from her body.

The fragrance was especially strong at the wound site, soothing the aching head and providing relief.

His eyes became increasingly cold, and he stood up suddenly. Lin Zhi was startled and subconsciously hugged his neck tightly. She saw him holding her and walking towards the bed, putting her down, and casually pulling down the bed curtain. Her vision darkened.

Lin Zhi said quickly: "Your Majesty, wait a minute. I want to get some medicine to wipe the wound."

Xiao Yuan's eyes turned cold.

Linzhi said aggrievedly: "It would be ugly if it left a scar." Although it may not be cured, she had to give it a try.

Xiao Yuan: "No, I don't mind."

Lin Zhi glared, "But I don't mind!" Seeing him looking at her coldly, she realized that her voice was a little loud just now, and lowered her head, "Your Majesty, please."

Xiao Yuan didn't care about her pretending to be pitiful. He pulled her into his arms roughly and closed his eyes. But Lin Zhi still didn't want to give up. She stuck her head out and begged him in a low voice, which made his face become more and more ugly. He opened his eyes, turned her over and pressed her down, biting her shoulder again.

Linzhi didn't expect this result, and she really cried this time.

And Xiao Yuan seemed to punish her deliberately. Soon, her neck was covered with bruises. However, the bite was not that severe, so it should disappear in a few days. Moreover, a strange feeling rose from her body, and an unintentional tender sound escaped from her mouth.

Her whole body froze, but Xiao Yuan seemed not to notice. He went further down and had to bite his lips tightly.

When the emperor finally left, Linzhi hid under the quilt and didn't even see him off. She also drove out Lurong and others who were about to come in. She got up at noon the next day and sat in front of the mirror. She found that her neck was no longer visible and even her lips were swollen.

Songzi came in and said that His Majesty had given her a gift of golden medicine for wounds, and she angrily said, "No!"

None of the palace servants had ever seen her so angry, so they didn't dare to say a word. Lu Rong looked at the marks on Lin Zhi's mouth with shock on her face, and lowered her head hastily for fear of being discovered.

Linzhi thought about it and asked Songzi to bring the medicine again. It was better to have it than not. Songzi also said that His Majesty asked her to go to the imperial study in the afternoon.
