The Tale of the Captive Consort - Chapter 46, Pretending to Sleep (Part 1)

Two days passed in Mingruo's anxiety. She barely left the palace during these two days. Of course, she had never left Zhuohua Palace before, but she would at least walk around the palace and look at the flowers and plants she had once planted. This time, however, she barely even got out of bed, spending her days wrapped in blankets, anxious and fearful, filled with regret. She hoped that Emperor Xuli would come to see her so she could subtly try to break the illusion in her heart; yet she was also terrified that Emperor Xuli would come. What if it was him—she didn't know how she would face him.
Yunlang...why haven't you come back yet? Ruo'er is so scared...
Mingruo clutched her clothes tightly. For the past two days, she had been wearing two layers of clothes for safety, and she didn't dare to take them off when she went to sleep at night. She also slept very lightly and seemed quite listless.
She lay on her side on the bed, her small, delicate hands clutching her clothes tightly. Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly heard voices outside. The soft voice of a palace maid reached her ears, sounding both very close and very far away.
"Your Majesty, the young lady has just finished her lunch and gone to sleep."
She didn't hear what was answered until the palace maids and guards all withdrew. Her large purple eyes opened unconsciously and blinked. It took Mingru a while to realize her situation: Her father had arrived!
She clutched her clothes tightly at her chest, then, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, she dared not. After a long while, she closed her eyes and decided to pretend to be asleep. Heavens, please forgive Ruo'er. Ruo'er doesn't yet have the courage to confront her father, nor is she prepared to accept the truth. Whether it's her father or not, don't—at least not now—don't tell her. Give her a little more time, just a little, just a little… She will ask him herself then. After her father leaves, she will definitely think it over carefully and then ask!
Mingruo thought that Emperor Xuli would leave once he saw that she was asleep, but little did she know that she was completely wrong.
The beaded curtain was gently lifted, and the familiar scent of white datura flowers filled the air. Mingruo's mind began to wander, and her slender body began to tremble involuntarily. She tried to close her eyes tightly, pretending to be fast asleep, hoping that Emperor Xuli would turn around and leave immediately.
The footsteps grew closer, and Mingruo's heart pounded faster and faster, like someone approaching the truth, filled with the agonizing mix of wanting to know and fearing to know. But at this moment, she didn't want to know anything anymore. Whatever the outcome, she would be the one most devastated. If it wasn't her father, then she would be tainted; if it was… then what sins and secrets would she have to bear? No matter what, she couldn't tell Duanmu Yun. She couldn't tell Emperor Xuli, and even more so, she couldn't tell anyone who wasn't Emperor Xuli!
She loved Duanmu Yun, loved him terribly, so she couldn't accept the possibility of losing him, not even the slightest chance! All she needed to do was protect herself, and when she could leave, this matter would end there, sealed away forever, becoming a secret no one would know. As long as no one mentioned it, no one mentioned it…
Mingruo kept her eyes tightly closed, thinking that Emperor Xuli would turn around and leave. But to her surprise, he sat down on the edge of the bed, his incredibly pleasant voice carrying a lazy laugh: "What a careless little fellow, not even taking off your clothes for an afternoon nap." After speaking, he reached out and touched Mingruo's shoulder.
Mingruo was startled and immediately regretted it. She should have taken off her clothes before sleeping! But since things had come to this, she wanted to continue pretending to be asleep so that Emperor Xuli would leave. So she gritted her teeth, pretended to be asleep, and let Emperor Xuli's slender hand hold her shoulder, turning her from her side-lying position facing the bed into a supine position.
The fragrance of the white datura grew stronger and stronger. Mingruo felt a little dazed; after waking up that day to find herself molested, she seemed to have smelled the same scent in the air. The white datura's flowers were pure white and flawless, yet extremely difficult to pick and preserve. To pluck a flower was to risk one's life, and once a flower was picked, the entire datura plant, including the plucked blossoms, would wither and fall within fifteen minutes, its fragrance vanishing. But Xulidi seemed to always carry this scent, as if he were the embodiment of the white datura—beautiful, dangerous, and carrying a deadly poison.
Long, slender, beautiful fingers gently lifted the thin ribbon of her robe, easily untying it. The robe spread out, and Emperor Xu Li, who had expected to see a breathtaking view, paused for a moment upon seeing another layer of robe underneath. Then, a gentle smile spread across his handsome face, revealing a loving expression. What an adorable little thing! Did she think this would protect her from his advances and possession?! How naive… But her naivety touched his heart.
His fingertips continued to part the fabric, revealing two outer garments, two inner garments, two undergarments… all of which were untied by Emperor Xu Li.
Mingruo strained with all her might to keep from screaming. In this awkward moment, even if she wanted to face Emperor Xuli, she couldn't be so direct. Such a humiliating scene… if she rashly opened her eyes, how could she cope? How could she face her father?!
She now realized how unwise her decision to pretend to be asleep had been. The situation had become incredibly awkward, whether she woke up or continued pretending to be asleep!
Mingruo stubbornly refused to speak, thus missing the mysterious smile of Emperor Xuli in front of her, who seemed to be deep in thought.
At this moment, she was left with only two thin bodices covering her beautiful body.
With a flick of his slender fingers, he untied a thin ribbon, and the first undergarment fell down. Emperor Xu Li's purple eyes deepened, and he chuckled softly, "Silly girl, you don't even cover yourself properly with the blanket. Are you thinking of getting cold?"
Hearing this, Mingruo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her father was about to cover her with the blanket and leave. With this thought, she no longer felt embarrassed and only hoped that Emperor Xuli would leave quickly.
Little did she know that Emperor Xu Li had covered her with a blanket, but his hand remained inside the blanket, slowly stroking her soft belly through the last thin bodice. He parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Little one, you haven't had a good appetite lately, and your belly is a little bloated and hard. Is it because you miss Minister Duanmu?"
Mingruo, of course, did not answer; she quietly clenched her little fist.
His slender fingers pressed around, seemingly without any other intention. Mingruo's heart began to pound again, because Xu Lidi's fingers had started to move upwards little by little, hovering and lingering at the edge of her chest!
She was only wearing a bodice and underpants, which meant she was practically naked.
Suddenly, Emperor Xu Li let out a soft "Eh!" Ming Ruo was startled, wondering what he wanted. Then she heard a deep, magnetic male voice say, "Where did that red spot come from on Ruo'er's shoulder?" As he spoke, he abruptly pulled back her blanket!
