Imperial Palace

It was night time. The moon was hidden behind the clouds. In the light of lanterns, a figure could be seen walking inside the Lantai courtyard. The guards didn't stop him when they saw who it was.

The person staggered a little and the guard was about to support him when he saw the cold phoenix eyes. He retraced his hands instantly and lowered his head.

Looking at the back of the figure, the guard felt a shiver running down his spine as he remembered the cold phoenix eyes.

'The Second Prince looks very angry tonight.'

Zhao Zhang Wei stepped inside the room. Only one lamp was lit that too was placed near the bed. His gaze went to the bed.

She was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

'Wangfei does not get enough sleep.'

That was what that Physician had told him.

Zhao Zhang Wei chuckled humorlessly without even caring whether his sound was too loud.  His laugh must be too loud as it disturbed her sleep and there was a small frown on her forehead.

He went near the bedside and smoothened the frown with his fingers. His fingers caressed her cheek gently but his phoenix eyes were void of any gentleness.

Trailing his fingers down her cheek, he traced her pink lips. A moment later, he bowed his head and pressed his cold lips on her soft and warm ones.

In her sleep, Yi Huiqing felt something wet on her lips. She opened her mouth but her mouth was suddenly invaded by something.

She opened her eyes slowly and saw a blurry figure leaning down on herself. When she realized what was going on, her sleep was gone and she opened her mouth to scream.

"Mmmph….."

But her words were muffled.

She raised her hands to push the person away but her hands were pressed down on either side of her head forcefully.

At this moment when she looked back again at that person's face, she was shocked.

The cold phoenix eyes looked down at her as his tongue continued to explore her mouth. For a moment, Yi Huiqing could not believe that the man in front of her was her husband. After the disbelief came anger and she started to struggle fiercely.

"Nnng…."

She couldn't free herself as her whole body was pressed down by him. So she didn't hesitate and bit down on his tongue.

"Hisss....."

Zhao Zhang Wei hissed in pain as the taste of blood filled his mouth. He looked down at the woman lying on the bed coldly. Seeing that she wanted to get up and leave the bed, he held her waist tightly.

"Leave me."

Yi Huiqing's heart sank when she was caught again. His warm breath tickled her ear as he whispered

"Where does my Wangfei wants to go? Is it to get those pills hmm?"

Her whole body stiffened.

'He knows about the pills.'

Hearing no response, Zhao Zhang Wei turned her around and Yi Huiqing saw a cold smile on his lips. A strong smell of alcohol invaded her nose. When he bowed his head again to kiss her lips, she turned away sideways and said

"Wangye is drunk. This Wangfei will ask the servant to take Wangye to his room."

Her words were very polite and there was nothing wrong with them but Zhao Zhang Wei only felt more anger seeing her behaving like this.

  But Zhao Zhang Wei didn't loosen his hold and nuzzled his nose against her neck.

"Why, do I disgust you now?"

His hands roamed around her waist and Yi Huiqing felt him pulling the belt that was holding her dress. Shocked she held the belt so that her dress will not slip down.

"No…I don't want this."

However, Zhao Zhang Wei seemed to not hear her words and laid her down on the bed under himself. He removed her hands from the belt and pulled the belt out.

"No, I don' mmmph….."

He silenced her screams with his lips and started to pull down her dress but his hands stopped when he felt something wet on his cheek.

He lifted his head and saw tears running down her closed eyes.

Yi Huiqing felt that he had stopped and opened her misty eyes. She saw him staring at her with an indecipherable expression in his eyes.

"You dislike my touch that much now. Tell me did you even love me truly or was that also a lie?"

He didn't give her the chance to answer his question and gripped her chin with his hand. He remembered how she was laughing in the morning and rage filled his eyes.

" Or do you love someone else now, hmm? Is it that Physician?"

Yi Huiqing was angry at his words but she was more scared by his behavior and pushed his chest weakly. Seeing how she repelled his touch, Zhao Zhang Wei harshly bit her neck.

"Ah…"

"I am your husband. You're supposed to love me not someone else."

She felt him sucking her skin and then biting down her neck again.

"Nnngh….stop"

His hands went to pull her dress down.

Yi Huiqing struggled once more when she saw this but her strength was very little in comparison to him even if he was drunk.

She closed her eyes in submission and prepared herself for the long torturous night.

But just then she felt a heavy weight on her chest.

Opening her eyes slowly, she saw Zhao Zhang Wei head buried down in her breast and he was breathing evenly.

  She let out a sigh of relief and tried to free herself from his hold. But he suddenly tightened his arms around her and her whole body tensed. His slurred voice fell in her ears.

"You're my woman, my Wangfei."

And then he spoke nothing.

An ironic smile formed on Yi Huiqing's lips hearing his words.

She tried once again to remove him from herself but he buried his head further in her breasts and tightened his arms around her waist.

Sighing helplessly, she gave up and laid down on the pillow. Her eyes stared at the ceiling as she felt his warm breath on her chest. Zhao Zhang Wei words rang in her ears

'Did you ever love me?'

Yi Huiqing wondered if she could ask the same question from him. Does she have that right?
