My Devil Emperor
Traps

The sun had already completely sunk when ZiXuan left with Yuan to the Storage Room.

For some reason along the way, ZiXuan had only slightly met a few guards who were in charge of overseeing the circumstances around the palace.

"His husband, does it have to be like this?" hearing the question, ZiXuan looked down at the woman who was hugging him tightly and covered in the robe he was wearing.

"People using your name are only two possibilities, he's targeting you or me. Of course we can't let him know that their plans have been known to us. What would happen if he was watching us from afar and knew that you were coming with me to the Storage Room? Wouldn't they be disappointed?"

Yuan nodded unconsciously. Inwardly, he also approved of ZiXuan's remark. "But nobody's here. Let me down. You must be very heavy stepping this time."

ZiXuan looked at Yuan gauntly. "Not heavy."

"Right, you're used to holding me back when you're above you" Yuan whispered in ZiXuan's ear.

"Good! Keep teasing me. Don't blame me if our one-week agreement ends after this!"

Hearing him, Yuan immediately pursed his lips tightly. Another one he forgot, ZiXuan could not be teased!

The woman froze, no longer saying a word. He tightened his embrace at ZiXuan's waist. Letting the man support his weight as Yuan placed his feet on the backs of ZiXuan's legs. His body did not really stick perfectly to ZiXuan's sturdy body as that enlarged belly became a limitation. Yuan was astonished and amazed when ZiXuan stepped like there was no burden when in fact he was supporting the weight of Yuan and his son. Her husband is amazing.

Yuan regained his senses when he heard the sound of the door opening from behind him. "We've arrived?" the question is a little confused.

"Mn," he replied as he released a hand from Yuan's waist.

The woman set her foot back on the soft wooden floor. He turned his body and looked around the room.

"There's nothing here?" mumbling slowly.

Yuan walked further and further into the Storage Room followed ZiXuan behind him.

"Master Luo Li's daughter?" yuan said as he saw a girl standing on her back in the corner of the room.

The woman turned around. The look on his face was slightly surprised when he saw the two people. Then immediately neutralize his face.

Luo Li smiled and walked over. "The Queen has arrived?" ask him pleasantries.

Yuan frowned confusedly. "Me?"

Seeing the look of confusion on Yuan's face, Luo Li also felt strange. She said, "Didn't Her Majesty the Empress ask me to meet here?"

"I was planning to talk to you, but not here. Nor is it today," Yuan said tilting his head.

The three of them were silent for a moment until Yuan muttered, "No way!"

ZiXuan looked at Yuan who was beside him while raising an eyebrow. "What is impossible?"

"It wasn't me but you."

"Aah?"

"Someone with my name, asking you to meet. Your Majesty is my husband, if I ask him to meet me you will not refuse, right? Also, I am the host as well as the imperial Empress, with my position, if I were to ask you to meet me even though it was in the morning blind, Princess Luo would not be able to resist it, right? I don't know what the motive is, but I've heard you guys have a special relationship before. So, perhaps this was to damage the reputation of His Majesty and Princess Luo," he analyzed in a soft voice at the end of the sentence.

"No. I have no relationship with him. Where did you hear that rumor?" refute ZiXuan after Yuan finished her sentence.

"And I said 'it used to be' not now."

"You— forget. Let's talk outside" Yuan said again walking towards the door. He pushed the door and frowned.

"Why?"

"The door can't be opened" Yuan said slowly.

ZiXuan raised his eyebrows and walked closer to Yuan. The woman took a step back.

He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, but it did not move open.

"Yes, it looks like it's locked," said ZiXuab, who sounded resigned.

Luo Li who had been silent widened her eyes. "Then how?" tanyanya's worried.

"Just wait for them—where are you going?" ZiXuan had wanted to answer Luo Li's question, but it wasn't so when he saw his wife go the other way to the storage room.

"Your Majesty, didn't you smell something?" ask Yuan back.

"I smell it, I think it's the fragrance of this room." It was not ZiXuan, but Luo Li who replied.

"The storage room has no room fragrance. This—" ZiXuan stopped saying and his eyes were like a shock, he immediately continued saying, "Don't be inhaled! Better close your nose!" his orders.

Despite being puzzled, seeing the seriousness in the man's eyes, Luo Li immediately complied.

"I found it!" That voice made ZiXuan realize that Yuan had already disappeared from the sight of his eyes.

He quickly searched for his wife. In the corner of the room, ZiXuan saw the familiar shadow was trying to squat with a large belly. He rushed up to her and gently pulled the woman's arm. "What are you doing!" His voice slightly raised making the woman in his arms startled.

"I—I'm just curious. I like the smell, it doesn't mean to make you angry" Yuan said softly in a slightly trembling voice. He did not dare to look at the man.

"I'm not angry, I'm worried about you. Let me take it. You wait here and close your nose."

Yuan nodded. He retreated and leaned against a pillar of the building. Somehow his body felt a bit hot, maybe because this room was tightly closed so that no wind came in.

He lowered his hands that were covering his nose and mouth from being tired. Inhaling that soft and extremely fragrant faint fragrance made him slightly relax.

ZiXuan turned around after putting out the incense. "Let's get out soon" he said, drawing his wife's hand slowly.

"How do I get out? Isn't the door locked?"

ZiXuan frowned and looked at the woman slowly. There was something wrong with Yuan's voice. "Are you okay?" tanyanya.

Yuan raised her pretty face and shook his head slowly. "I? It's okay, just a little hot" he replied slowly. The other hand that ZiXuan was not holding was raised and held a handsome face in front of him.

"My husband, do you know? You're very handsome. You have a really good gene!"

ZiXuan blinked and laughed softly. "I'd guess. Xiao Li, don't you know that you like this look very seductive?" He let go of the hand grips on the woman, instead of putting his hands hugging Yuan's slender waist.

His other hand was raised and a faint beam of light gushed out like it was neutralizing the room from the incense smoke that had spread out.

"Isn't he? Then, does the husband want to do something to me now?"
