Chapter 432 - 12.40 (Semi R-18)
*Swallowing the Dragon’s Essence*
Huang Shu was in a better mood as he returned to the Palace of Serene Harmony after a long day of ministry report. He had his own Palace, the Palace of Heavenly Dragon. But it was so empty, full of grandeur stuff, but there was no Yunyu there.
Huang Shu paced through the hall to Yunyu’s garden with few guards and servants following him behind. The head eunuch announced Emperor’s arrival. The servants got busy immediately, especially Meilan, who hurriedly fixed Yunyu’s robe and brushed his hair.
Yunyu frowned at Meilan’s anxiety, "What’s gotten into you?"
"Master Bai, His Majesty is coming. We need to make you look good!"
"I am already looking good even without any of those accessories. Did you know that Emperor Xianliang fell in love with me after I defeated him in a fight?" Yunyu said with a prideful smile. "No need to worry. He loves me. I just know it."
Huang Shu entered his wife’s room as Meilan excused herself. Bai Yunyu was busy reading a book from the palace library, an Art of War.
Huang Shu snatched the book from Yunyu’s hand and then sat beside him. Huang Shu hugged Yunyu and asked, "Your husband has just arrived from a long day from my ministry report. Is this the way for you to greet me?" Huang Shu asked while he kissed Yunyu’s soft cheek.
"Shouldn’t you rest in your own palace?" Yunyu asked, acting as if he was nonchalant, even though he was happy that Huang Shu decided to rest in his Palace.
"How can I? I have a beautiful wife that will always wait for me. Of course, I can’t miss the chance. I don’t need any medicine to replenish my energy. Just by seeing you, kissing you, feeling you, is already my remedy every day."
’And I will not trade it for anything else, Bai Yunyu,’ Huang Shu said in his heart. In the incident in the last timeline, he failed to persevere Yunyu and their love together. He still didn’t understand what went wrong. Maybe it was indeed his pride that made him banish Yunyu. But he still loved Yunyu even after his death.
