Chapter 608: Impersonating the Emperor
The once-furrowed brows of the young Consort Tong suddenly relaxed slightly, her face momentarily showing a trace of confusion.
She didn’t understand why she was reacting this way. She had thought that having her pure b0dy invaded by a man other than her husband would be both painful and disgusting. Yet now, none of those negative emotions surfaced. Instead, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy.
Shyly, Consort Tong raised her hand and touched the chest of the man on t0p of her. Her expression grew even more surprised. “Have we met before…?”
“What is the Consort saying?” Song Qingshu feigned ignorance.
“Nothing…hmmng~” Consort Tong turned her head away, her cheeks flushing as if painted with rouge. She quietly scolded herself, ‘I’m overthinking things. I’m the Emperor’s beloved consort. How could I possibly have had any connection with him before this…?’
A mischievous glint appeared in Song Qingshu’s eyes as he deliberately said, “Fate is truly unpredictable. When I first saw you in the Imperial Garden, I was utterly captivated by your peerless beauty, thinking the Emperor was truly blessed to have such a celestial consort. Back then, I thought that simply exchanging a few words with you would be enough to fulfill my heart’s desire. Who would have thought I’d be granted such fortune today?”
“Enough! Ah~” Consort Tong trembled all over. Hearing him mention the past, she couldn’t suppress the complex emotions welling up within her.
“What impression did I leave on you back then?” Song Qingshu was genuinely curious about how Consort Tong viewed his original identity.
“The Emperor mentioned you were the most skilled guard in the palace…Ahn! N-nothing else.” Consort Tong’s voice quivered as she answered.
