"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you." The Snow Girl said softly.
"What's the matter?" Ying Yuan asked.
The Snow Girl took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to... sleep with you."
Ying Yuan was stunned by Xue Nu's bold request, and then a playful smile appeared on his lips. He looked Xue Nu up and down, with a hint of aggression in his eyes. This woman had a stunning appearance and a cold temperament, which was completely different from those vulgar women in the harem, which aroused his interest.
"Oh? Miss Snow Girl, do you know what it means to sleep with someone in bed?" Ying Yuan's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of imperial majesty.
Snow Girl met Ying Yuan's gaze fearlessly, with a strange light flashing in her eyes: "I naturally know. I just want to share your worries."
"Share my worries?" Ying Yuan repeated these two words with great interest, "How do you plan to share my worries?"
The Snow Girl smiled gently, stood up and walked to Ying Yuan, stretched out her slender jade fingers, and gently stroked Ying Yuan's cheek: "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, and you are exhausted both physically and mentally. I am willing to play the piano for your Majesty to relieve your fatigue."
Ying Yuan grabbed Xue Nu's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently: "Miss Xue Nu, you are such a smart woman."
He hugged the Snow Girl into his arms and walked towards the bedroom. The Snow Girl snuggled into Ying Yuan's arms, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.
As the night deepened, the Xianyang Palace was completely silent. Ying Yuan hugged Xue Nu and fell into a deep sleep. Xue Nu opened her eyes, and a cold light flashed in them. She gently stood up, took out a dagger from her bosom, and put it against Ying Yuan's neck.
At this moment, Ying Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of teasing smiles: "Ms. Snow Girl, what are you doing?"
The Snow Girl's face changed, and the dagger in her hand trembled slightly: "You...you didn't sleep?"
Ying Yuan grabbed Xue Nu's wrist and snatched the dagger from her hand: "How could I fall into your trap so easily?"
A trace of panic flashed across the Snow Girl's eyes, but she quickly calmed down: "Your Majesty, I just want to test your vigilance."
"Probing?" Ying Yuan sneered, "Do you think I will believe your lies?"
"Your Majesty, please understand that I have no ulterior motives!" The Snow Girl quickly knelt on the ground, her tone sincere.
Ying Yuan looked down at the Snow Girl with a complicated look in his eyes. He could see that the Snow Girl was not really submitting to him, but there was an inexplicable attraction in her that he could not resist.
"Snow Girl, who are you?" Ying Yuan asked in a deep voice.
The Snow Girl raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I am the princess of Yan State, the daughter of Lord Yan Chun, the Snow Girl."
When Ying Yuan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that this seemingly weak woman actually had such a prominent identity.
"What is your purpose in sneaking into the palace?" Ying Yuan continued to ask.
The Snow Girl took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to assassinate your majesty and avenge the State of Yan!"
A cold light flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes, and the dagger in his hand was against the neck of the Snow Girl: "Do you think you can really kill me?"
Snow Girl met Ying Yuan's gaze fearlessly: "I know that I am no match for your Majesty. But I will never give up. For the sake of Yan State, I am willing to give everything!"
Ying Yuan looked at Xue Nu's determined eyes, and suddenly a strange admiration surged in his heart. He slowly retracted the dagger, and his tone softened: "Xue Nu, I can give you a chance."
"What opportunity?" the Snow Girl asked puzzledly.
Ying Yuan raised a mysterious smile and said, "I can let you kill me with your own hands, but you must agree to one condition." A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Snow Girl, "What condition?"
Ying Yuan reached out his hand and gently stroked Xue Nu's cheek: "Be my woman."
Xue Nu was stunned. She didn't expect Ying Yuan to put forward such a condition. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles. She didn't know how to choose.
"What? You don't want to?" Ying Yuan asked with a raised eyebrow.
The Snow Girl bit her lip and finally nodded: "I... am willing."
Ying Yuan smiled with satisfaction and hugged the Snow Girl into his arms: "Very good, from today on, you are my woman."
Snow Girl nestled in Ying Yuan's arms, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes. She knew that she had embarked on a road of no return.
The next morning, Ying Yuan woke up and found that Xue Nu was no longer around. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the rising sun outside, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.
At this moment, Zhao Gao rushed in, his face pale: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Snow Girl... Snow Girl she..."
"What's wrong with her?" Ying Yuan's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.
Zhao Gao stammered, "The Snow Girl...she kidnapped Crown Prince Fusu and escaped from the Xianyang Palace!"
Before Zhao Gao finished speaking, Ying Yuan felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. Snow Girl, what a Snow Girl! She actually dared to hold Fusu hostage. This was challenging his bottom line!
"Chase! Chase for me! You must dig three feet into the ground to bring Xue Nu and Fusu back to me!" Ying Yuan roared, his voice echoing in the empty hall.
Zhao Gao quickly responded, turned around and ran out.
Ying Yuan stood by the window, his face terribly gloomy. He didn't expect that he was deceived by the Snow Girl. He thought that the Snow Girl really submitted to him, but he didn't expect that she was just using him.
"Xue Nu, you'd better pray that Fusu is okay, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death!" Ying Yuan said gritting his teeth.
Outside the city of Xianyang, a fast horse passed by, and on the horse sat a woman in white, who was the Snow Girl. In her arms was an unconscious boy, who was the Crown Prince Fusu.
The Snow Girl's face was pale and her lips were chapped, but her eyes were firm and she didn't hesitate at all. She knew that she had no way out.
"Prince Fusu, you must hold on. We will be back to Yan State soon." The Snow Girl whispered, her tone full of tenderness and concern.
Fusu seemed to hear the voice of the Snow Girl while he was unconscious. He frowned slightly and uttered a mumbling: "Mother..."
Xue Nu felt a pain in her heart, she knew that Fusu must miss his mother very much.
"Prince Fusu, don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety and take you back to Yan State to reunite with your mother." The Snow Girl said firmly.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Xue Nu's face changed, knowing that the Qin army was chasing them.
"Prince Fusu, hold on tight!" The Snow Girl shouted in a low voice and quickened the speed of the horse.
The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Xue Nu was extremely anxious. She knew that she couldn't be caught up by the pursuers, otherwise she and Fusu would be in danger.
Suddenly, a dense forest appeared ahead, and the Snow Girl rode her horse into the forest without hesitation.
The pursuers followed closely behind and also rushed into the dense forest. (End of this chapter)
