"Run faster!" the emperor ordered for the nth time

The carriage driver felt like bursting into tears....the horses were now running like their butts were on fire....

How much faster the emperor wants him to drive?!!!

Zhu Zhen sat impatiently in the carriage...it was nearly midnight...and it would take nearly more two hours to reach Han state....

It was not a a big deal for him to reach his palace late..but now a certain foolish face waiting for him to return flashed before his eyes...

A bitter sweet feelings filled his heart,as a lovely anticipation rose in his mind...

Maybe she is waiting... worrying about his late arrival..

Her worried eyes flashed before him as his grip on the carriage handle tightened.

"More faster!" he ordered again

The carriage driver fainted.

When the emperor entered his chamber, the first thing his eyes noticed was the empty bed.

She dared to disobey him by not staying in the royal chamber!

The thought made his blood boil as his eyes searched frantically all around the room, she was nowhere!

Zhu Zhen was on the verge of going mad out of rage but a silhouette of a petite figure sitting in the corner of the chamber caught his eyes.

"Li'er" he called softly...

Getting no response, he started walking slowly to the figure. After walking a few steps a sight of a sleeping G.Li with her head lying on the sofa in between her crossed arms while sitting on the floor welcomed him.

Moonlight peeking through the window twinkled on her cheeks as her lashes trembled slightly, her sleeping position was nowhere near cute with her snoring and drooling mouth wide open.

Zhu Zhen's cold eyes turned soft instantly when he took in the sight before his eyes. A smile filled with adoration adorned his lips as he slowly sat on his knees beside his sleeping wife.

Before he could stop himself, his fingers started caressing her soft cheeks tenderly. Looking down at the little face, he couldn't help bringing his lips to her chubby cheeks. His lips lingered there a few seconds. It was not a kiss, more like a slight graze....

G.Li suddenly felt ticklish on her cheeks. she moved her head to the other side to avoid the ticklish feeling. It was surely Chu Chu, her annoying cat who used to lick her cheeks in her sleep.

Thinking about that bastard cat her nose scrunched in her sleep.

Finding her annoyance adorable, Zhu Zhen's eyes sparkled with mischief as he pressed his lips on her cheeks again.

G.Li clicked her tongue in annoyance and pushed her supposedly pet cat away.

"Chu Chu, my love,you should really get rid of your licking habit", she mumbled in her sleep.

When G.Li was happily sleeping thinking her cat was no more misbehaving, a certain big wolf was definitely back on his jealousy mode

ummm,can someone please hand me a pen and a paper?cause I think I should start writing my death note...tears'

👘👘👘👘👘👘👘👘👘

Xian Xu felt like bursting into tears!

The emperor started behaving weird from the morning. His already ice cold expression turned more dangerous. From the moment he woke up,he had been glaring at everything that came into his sight.

If looks could kill, the whole palace would have been buried six feet under by now.

Now the emperor was writing an imperial decree on the table while Xian Xu stood before him shivering to death.

He had already received two decrees but both were taken back by the king and burnt to ashes.

First decree said,

Xian Xu was transfixed with the king's absolute fury with all the men named Chu Chu. He was going to take the decree and leave but Zhu Zhen stopped him midway and burnt it before giving him another one that said,

Xian Xu's eyes started twitching observing the king's sudden madness but he was just a little servant. So he didn't dare to refute.

Shoulders slumped, he was going to take the death note of all the Chu Chu's out but again,he was stopped by the great emperor...

"Don't take it out" the emperor said.

"Eh?",Xian Xu gave him a questioning gaze...

A sinister cold smile formed on Zhu Zhen's lips as he leaned his head against the royal chair...

"Zhen knows a better way to deal with them"

He murmured with a threatening undertone.

Finally, Xian Xu was able to successfully leave the chamber with an imperial decree that said,

G.Li remembered dreaming about Chu Chu licking her cheeks last night.

Sadness engulfed her heart remembering about it.

Chu Chu was her pet cat in her world. Now that she transmigrated into a pathetic novel, she couldn't see her dearest pet anymore.

Their relationship was special, they had a mutual hatred towards each other and liked to irritate each other to death.

She remembers one incident where she stole Chu Chu's fish in her sleep and the next she was scratched on her cheeks by her delicate paw nails...

Awww...Chu chu..mamma misses your deadly scratches...

That bitch Gongsun Li!!! I really miss scratching her to death!

Suddenly feeling a fierce glare behind her head, G.Li turned her head.

And Ladies and gentlemen,there stood our mighty emperor glaring at our poor G.Li like he wanted to slice her into thousand pieces....

Eh! Now what did I do?

Seeing her confused expression, Zhu Zhen knitted his eyebrows...

"Come with me!", he ordered intensifying his glare.

"Where?"Gongsun Li blurted out...

Is he taking me somewhere to murder me??

It was a short, nice life...sigh'

Zhu Zhen didn't bother to response as he beckoned her to follow him. Doing as ordered,they both stopped before the huge door of hall room....

Zhu Zhen turned to the now confused G.Li trailing his eyes all over her face,he moved closer. G.Li wanted to back off instinctively but stopped when he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him...

Dumbfounded, G.Li didn't know what to do and followed him like a ragged doll.

A sight of thousand men standing in the hallroom with faces like they were going to shit in their pants anytime soon greeted G.Li as the doors opened...

Dumbfounded, she stared at the man beside her as she felt his hold tightening thousand time around her waist...

Zhu Zhen wanted to hold her more closer, more tight just to let these bastards know who she belongs to but a pained hiss from her soft lips brought his sanity back and,he loosened his hold on her.

As he trailed his gaze all over the scared faces of the men standing there, his expression turned more icy. He couldn't help tightening his hold around his little wife to suppress his rage. He wanted to gift them a painful death, for one of them had dared to touch his wife once, for one of them tried to touch what's his.

But a soft touch on his chest calmed his rage as he looked down at his little wife who was trying to gain his attention stroking his chest. His gaze turned soft as he leaned down to kiss her forehead before turning to the crowd.

"This is my wife Gongsun Li", his voice boomed all around the hallroom making everyone flinch

His gaze turned ice cold as he glared each one of them. A smirk formed on his lips as he looked at the crowd letting out his next words...

"And she is off limits!"

All the scared shitless Chu Chus', ".............."

They looked at the plain wife of their king with an expression that shouted,

"We would prefer her to be off limits"

Gongsun Li didn't know why she suddenly felt like her female ego was hurt...
