The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

"Later, you risked your life for me several times, which made me suspicious. However, given your status, I still didn't dare to tell you the truth.

“I’m afraid that you’re being nice just to gain my trust, and that you have ulterior motives.

"Until that time when we had a misunderstanding, you told me that you were not Ye Shiqing, but someone else.

"God knows how ecstatic I was when I heard the news. I was shocked and happy. I was so excited that I almost went crazy!

"It was then that I realized that your kindness to me was sincere, and I also admitted that I had fallen in love with you unknowingly, but I didn't dare to face it because of your identity.

"The moment I knew your identity, I wanted to show you my true colors and tell you that I was just playing dumb and that I liked you. But..."

Lu Xiuyuan said this with a bit of frustration, and sighed again, his tone was gentle and cautious, "I'm afraid, I care about you too much, I'm so afraid that you will be disheartened and frustrated after knowing the truth, and I'm afraid that you will leave me in anger.

"So, I swallowed the truth that was on the tip of my tongue. I thought, as long as I love you and treat you well, and never do anything to deceive you again, then it doesn't matter whether the so-called truth is told or not.

“So… I continued to hide it from you until I accidentally let it slip today.

"Younan, I know it's all my fault. I'm sorry for you. But all my lies to you were due to my ignorance at first and my excessive care later. I never thought of hurting you."

Lu Xiuyuan lowered his head in disappointment, his eyes slightly red, his heart filled with self-blame and guilt towards her, even his tone was choked with sobs.

“I’m sorry, I can’t help it, there’s really nothing else I could do in that situation.

"Younan, although it's all my fault, I still hope that you can consider it from my perspective. I hope you can understand my concerns and feelings at that time. I'm really... sorry."

Lu Xiuyuan revealed all the secrets that were buried deep in his heart, and his body and mind felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.

I think it might not be a bad thing for him to let the cat out of the bag today. He always feels guilty for hiding this from Younan.

Now that he had said it, even though the people in the room still didn't respond, he felt relieved.

After a while, the room was still quiet.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, cursed "heartless girl", then got up and left.

It was impossible for him to go back to sleep. He just went to the bathroom and would be back soon.

Even if she ignores me, I will stay as close to her as possible.

Lu Xiuyuan seemed to be particularly unlucky today. As soon as he left, Xia Younan opened the door and stuck his head out.

However, she saw that the door was empty and the person seemed to have left long ago.

Alas, it seems that he can't bear it anymore and has to go back to sleep. Xia Younan sighed in disappointment and closed the door again.

She heard everything he said, and before that she was angry at his concealment and deception, and her anger burned her reason. Now that she has calmed down, and after what he said just now, she feels that she can understand him.

Indeed, at the beginning, I was the daughter of his enemy, how could he dare to confess to me? Wouldn't that be risking his life?

Later, after he knew her identity, he found that he fell in love with her. The more he liked her, the more he cared about her. He was afraid that she would be angry, so he dared not say it.

He was right. After learning the truth, she would only be angry and there would be no benefit at all. It would be better to keep it secret.

But now she was no longer angry, and he left.

Really, will he die if he waits a little longer? She wanted to call him into the house, apply some medicine on him, and cuddle him to sleep.

Forget it, since he has left, she will wait until tomorrow to talk to him.

As soon as the light in her room went out, Lu Xiuyuan came back after finishing his work.

Looking at the closed door, he shook his head, sat back down in front of the door, leaned against the door frame, closed his eyes and dozed off.

He didn't notice that in the dark hiding place on the right, several bald heads were looming in the night...

In the dim morning light, a breeze carrying the cuckoo's call lingered in the backyard, waking up Lu Xiuyuan from his sleep as he leaned against the door for a nap, as if reminding him that he still had important things to do.

Lu Xiuyuan opened his eyes and yawned, then immediately knocked on Xia Younan's door.

"Younan, you should be feeling less angry now, right? Open the door for me and let me explain everything to you, okay?"

"Younan?" Lu Xiuyuan shouted as he pushed the door open.

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open in front of his astonished gaze.

A row of ellipsis marks appeared above Lu Xiuyuan's head, and his face showed a mixture of surprise and frustration.

When was the door unlocked? Was it not last night? Could he have slept all night in front of the door that would open with a push?

He didn't want to think about it anymore and hurried in. According to past experience, as long as the door could be opened, his beloved wife would be willing to give him the opportunity to apologize.

His heart started pounding as he thought about it. He stood up with difficulty on his sore legs and prepared to push the door open to enter the house.

"The door is open, go in."

Suddenly, he heard a noisy sound in his ears.

When he looked over to where the sound came from, he saw Zhu Li and a group of bandits watching him not far away, along with Chan Mu, Qu Xiaoyou and others.

Each of them had a smirk on their face, and they all looked like they were enjoying a good show.

A group of alpacas ran past Lu Xiuyuan's head, and he was extremely speechless.

This group of heartless people have nothing better to do than to come and laugh at his joke.

He couldn't do as they wished, because he was a prince and he was the boss!

Thinking of this, he put away his happy smile, coughed twice in a serious manner, held his head high, and shouted indignantly:

"This woman is too lawless. She actually dared not to let her man enter the house. She is really a traitor. I will teach her a lesson."

"What did he say? He wants to teach my junior sister a lesson?" One monk couldn't stand it anymore and rolled up his sleeves to take action.

Zen En grabbed him and said with a grin, "Come on, even if he asks for courage from heaven, heaven won't lend it to him."

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, strode into the room, then closed the door behind him and ran to the bed impatiently.

Xia Younan had already woken up and heard clearly what he had just said. She was so angry that she clenched the mace in the quilt with her delicate hands.

"My wife, I was wrong." Lu Xiuyuan came to the bedside and knelt on the ground without saying a word, lowering his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"..."

Xia Younan was stunned, looked at him, then looked at the mace held high in his hand, and swallowed.

Why is he kneeling down? Didn't he say he was going to teach her a lesson?
