"You are awake," Zhu Zhen's deep voice resonated as G.Li's eyes fluttered.

Shit! Busted!

G.Li wanted to pretend to be asleep for the rest of her life after the embarrassing incident near the lake.

Who on earth faints in the midst of such mind-blowing kiss?

Ladies and gentleman, it's me, the greatest idiot of all times!

She was definitely not ready to face the emperor now, not when she was all curled up on his lap and his arms were on a death grip around her body.

"Look at me! " Zhu Zhen ordered. G.Li flinched at the sharp edge on his tone but still continued to keep her eyes closed.

"Gongsun Li!", He called her name with an underlying warning tone in his voice making her shiver.

"No," she replied stubbornly hiding her face in the curve of his neck to avoid looking at him.

Zhu Zhen sighed feeling her hot breath on his neck. He cupped her nape and stroked her racing pulse with his thumb.

Now they were heading back to the imperial palace in the royal carriage.

An Ran!!!!

G.Li jerked away from Zhu Zhen as fear crawled up into her guts remembering about her friend.

How could she forget about him?

"Where is An Ran?", she asked agitatedly. Her determination of not looking at her husband flew out of the window.

Zhu Zhen's jaw clenched at the mention of that scumbug's name and his grip on her nape hardened.

"Don't ever say another man's name from those lips," he warned before again burying her face against his throat, his fingers finding its way into her hair.

Gongsun Li really wanted to continue her interrogation, but her husband's strong hold on her hips were warning her against it.

She knew he was holding himself back from burning the world considered the amount of rage fuelling within him.

So, she closed her eyes letting herself lose into darkness under the magical touch of her husband's finger in her hair.

.........

"Aaaaaaaaah!" an earth shattering scream rang all around the emperor's chamber.

"Niangniang (madam), please punish nubi if nubi did any mistake while doing your make up." All the panicked maids chattered all around Gongsun Li after hearing her horrendous scream as she saw herself in the mirror.

They could not figure out why their madam's reaction was so scary to the make up they bestowed on her face.
According to them, it was quite standard and all the princesses and noble ladies liked this kind of look.

But to Gongsun Li, shit looked better than her face right then. Her cheeks were colored vermillion red on each side, her eyebrows drawn into black crescent shape, and worse, her lips were painted red just in the middle forming a cherry shaped pout. Her hair looked like a tiny accessory shop with all that zan[1] and buyao[2] hanging on her huge double bun.

In short, she looked awful!!!

All the maids could tell that she was extremely dissatisfied with her look right now, and so, they attempted to placate her,
