Chapter 269 What sleepless nights? I'm more like the sun never sets!
Xin Moyan was stunned by these words and stood there. She had closed her eyes and opened them, and she was already in the Kingdom of Yelan?
This speed is even faster than flying!
Moreover, isn't it said that Yelan is located in a wild and desolate place, a bitterly cold land? There's the Baiqing Kingdom in between, how could it be so fast...?
She was genuinely puzzled and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Majesty, how long have I been asleep? What time is it now?"
“It is now the fifth watch of the night. You should have slept for fifteen hours since I knocked you unconscious last night.”
"Fifteen hours? Thirty hours? Do you think I can sleep that much? Could it be... that you drugged me?"
He nodded and explained understandingly, "Well, I was afraid you would wake up halfway and find the journey too bumpy, so I gave them special permission to use the tranquilizer."
Xin Moyan felt a chill run down her spine. "Heh! Thank you, you're quite considerate!"
As she spoke, it suddenly occurred to her that a whole day and night had passed, and the wedding... Xuan Yuan...
Seeing Xin Moyan in a daze, he curled his lips into a smile and teased, "Empress, what's wrong with you?"
"What empress?"
"Have you forgotten that I recently asked Yuan Qi to marry Princess Xin Moyan of Danhua as Empress of Yelan? Is there anything wrong with me addressing you like this now?"
Xin Moyan felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. "Your Majesty, why did you kidnap me? Was it just to make me your empress?"
"Yes."
"I don't know you. Besides, let me tell you, I'm married now, I'm the Princess Consort of Xuan. You'd better let me go, or else..."
"Otherwise, would Xuan Yuan not have let me go? Would Yuan Qi not have let me go either?"
"Correct!"
She should have been confident, but in reality she had no chance of winning at all. This godforsaken place, this strange Emperor Yelan, when did she offend him?
"Hehehe~ Don't worry, they'll never expect you to be here. Even if they did, it would take at least two days and two nights for them to arrive from Yuanqi to Yelan..."
He paused, his gaze becoming increasingly intriguing.
"By then, you will have already married me and the deed will be done. If I put in a little more effort, you might give me a little prince next year. At that time, I'm afraid Xuan Yuan will not want you anymore!"
"You...you are shameless!"
Xin Moyan was furious with him. How could this vixen emperor be so shameless?
"No, no, no! This isn't shamelessness, it's sleeplessness, sleepless nights, remember that?"
He reached out his palm and gently placed it on Xin Moyan's head, his smile especially warm and bright, yet a chill ran from the top of her head all the way to the soles of her feet.
"Sleepless nights?"
"Ah."
Night Sleepless nodded, then rubbed her head. "However, I am merciful and will only allow you to call me by my name. You can call me Sleepless, or... Husband, I will do either!"
"Ho!"
Xin Moyan was so angry that she laughed out loud. "What do you mean, sleepless nights? I'm talking about days that never end! I'm warning you, don't try anything funny with me. Let me go right now, or I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
Ye Wumian's eyelids twitched instantly. Why was Xin Moyan's personality so different from what he had heard before?
"Rest assured, even if you become a ghost, you will still be my ghost queen."
"No! Sir, what have I done to offend you? Why did you go through all this trouble to kidnap me and bring me here?"
"Naturally, it's so that you can become my queen."
"But I don't know you! Or have you seen me before?"
Xin Moyan had many doubts. Could this be a past romantic entanglement that the original owner had gotten into?
But Emperor Yelan said he was mysterious and unpredictable, and no one had ever seen him, so how could he know the original owner?
"I've never met you before, but now that I have, you're quite interesting."
"You've never even seen me before, so why do you want me to be your empress?"
He raised the corners of his eyes slightly, staring intently at Xin Moyan, as if trying to discern someone's shadow on her face.
After a long pause, Ye Wumian lowered his voice and blew a dark breath onto her neck, "I want to know what kind of woman could bewitch him so much, and I also want to know how he would react if he saw his beloved woman become my empress."
"The 'him' you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be Xuan Yuan, would you?"
"Hehehe~ Yan'er is really smart!"
Xin Moyan shivered from his laughter, and also found his shouting somewhat disgusting.
Is it that hard to guess? It's either the older brother or Xuan Yuan!
Wait a minute! She remembered that last time she and Xuan Yuan were chased on their way, Yuan Yuan said that he was from Ye Lan. Could it be this Ye Wumian in front of her? Do the two of them have a grudge?
"What is Yan'er thinking about?"
"Sleepless Night, could you please stop calling me that?"
Sleepless Night: "..."
"Yan'er, or you can call me Wumian, or you can call me husband in advance, anyway, we will get married in the next two days."
"Sleepless Night, let me go!"
"Yan'er, you can't escape. I will only unlock this lock on our wedding day."
"Then can you tell me what grudge you have against Xuan Yuan? Why do you have to drag me into this? You can always challenge him to a duel to the death!"
Although she believed in Xuan Yuan's martial arts skills, she thought that Xuan Yuan should be able to defeat Ye Wumian.
"A decisive battle to the death? Pfft, hahaha~~~"
Nightless Night seemed to have heard a joke, and immediately burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, laughing so hard she was shaking and trembling, captivating everyone present...
"..."
Xin Moyan was speechless, feeling utterly exasperated by the man in front of her.
After a long while, once he had finished laughing, he tilted his head and looked at Xin Moyan with a smile.
"Yan'er, how well do you know him?"
"You mean Xuan Yuan?"
"Ah."
Her eyes darted around, and she thought to herself that Ye Wumian was obviously trying to trick her into revealing information. He had managed to bring her to Yelan so quietly, who knew what tricks he would use to deal with Xuan Yuan!
"I don't know. I don't know Xuan Yuan at all."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wumian became interested, probably from the moment Xin Moyan woke up...
"We were attracted to each other at first sight. I thought he was handsome, and he thought I was cute, which is why His Majesty granted us this marriage."
Xin Moyan is lying through her teeth. That's just how it is. Yuanyuan is so handsome!
"Then how do you know his name is Xuan Yuan?"
"Of course he said it! He said I always call you 'Your Highness,' which sounds distant, and that he calls himself Xuan Yuan outside, so I should call you that too."
"So, besides lust at first sight, you two have no feelings for each other?"
She nodded obediently, "No feelings at all! To be honest, I like to admire handsome men when I have nothing to do. Xuan Yuan is the most handsome man I have ever seen. Fortunately, I am not bad looking, which is why I have the opportunity to marry him."
Ye Wumian frowned, her alluring face full of disbelief. "That's not right! My people have discovered that you and Xuan Yuan are clearly very close in private. How could you not have feelings for each other? Isn't he the one who loves you the most?"
