His Fiery Embrace Warms Her

Princess Mingyu looked into the mirror, her makeup exquisite, her attire alluring—a truly heart-stopping beauty!

Princess Mingyu put down the mirror and flopped onto the bed, striking a seductive pose. After changing poses several times, she finally settled on what she thought was the most tempting one.

But even so, Princess Mingyu felt it wasn’t enough.

"Lüluo, light the incense, quickly!" commanded Princess Mingyu.

Lüluo was startled: "Princess, that incense is..."

"It's aphrodisiac incense, Princess. If you light it, wouldn’t that..."

"Have I not told you to listen to me? Light it now!" Princess Mingyu urged. "I will be General Xiao’s woman sooner or later. Giving it to him now or later is the same. I don’t believe that with my celestial charm, any man could resist!"

Lüluo nodded: "Princess, you are right. I will light the incense at once!"

Lüluo quickly took out the incense and lit it. The windows were all closed, and soon the fragrance filled the entire room.

Princess Mingyu lay gracefully on the bed. The room was filled with the curling incense smoke. She was confident that even if Liu Xianghui himself came in, she could turn him into a Ximen Qing!

Lüluo left the room and stood guard at the door, hearing footsteps on the stairs.

Two guards led General Xiao and his accompanying guards upstairs.

Lüluo was nervous because General Xiao Zetian’s name was very famous. Many Chu generals had been defeated under the War God’s command. As a lovestruck girl, Lüluo admired Xiao Zetian a lot, but in front of Princess Mingyu, she dared not show any admiration, as even a hint of it could cost her life.

At this moment, Lüluo dared not look up or speak fluently. She lowered her head, looked at the two pairs of shoes entering, and knelt in salute: "I am Lüluo, Princess Mingyu’s personal maid. Her Highness is ill and resting in her room."

After speaking, Lüluo immediately opened the door halfway and gestured to invite them in.

Princess Mingyu, lying on the bed pretending to be ill, tidied her hair anxiously as soon as she heard the door open.

"Princess Mingyu!?" Li Yanhao was immediately confused, looking at Xiao Yun with a puzzled face, and whispered, "What's going on? Wasn't it said that the Chu Kingdom envoy was coming? How did it become Princess Mingyu?"

Xiao Yun immediately put on Oscar-level acting skills, looking innocent: "I-I don't know either. The messenger just said it was the Chu Kingdom envoy, but didn't specify who. Maybe Princess Mingyu herself is the envoy."

Li Yanhao stroked his chin: "But I just feel something's off."

Xiao Yun gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that feeling off was exactly right—this was a trap!

But Xiao Yun put on a serious face and whispered, "Young Master, no matter who Chu sends as envoy, you are here to care for the envoy's health and promote peaceful relations between the two countries. Don't forget our purpose."

Li Yanhao scratched his head: "Hmm, you make a good point, country bumpkin. No matter who the envoy is, I just need to perfectly complete my mission!"

Xiao Yun nodded vigorously, thinking to himself, "Not bad, not bad, the bluff worked!"

Lüluo saw that General Xiao did not enter the room but whispered with the guards, feeling very strange but not daring to interrupt.

Inside, Princess Mingyu was anxiously waiting. It was early spring, chilly and biting. She lay in a thin gauze dress for a long time, almost freezing stiff. When would General Xiao come in to warm her with his fiery body!
