Chapter 1207: The Princess Consort Whose Memories Were Altered (82)

"Guoguo, those two definitely won't give up. They'll surely think of some way to steal you away."

The majestic and imposing Emperor Beitang Huo, who inspired fear in everyone outside, was currently wrapping his arms around Tang Guo's slender waist, burying his head in the crook of her neck as he asked in a low voice, "You won't let them take you away, will you?"

Tang Guo slapped his incomparably handsome face lightly, then pinched his cheek. Beitang Huo raised his head like a pitiful little puppy. The resentful look in his eyes amused her so much that she burst out laughing.

"Does Ah Huo really think my taste is that terrible? Why would I leave a life of happiness behind and go back to suffer?"

Beitang Huo instantly relaxed. Pulling her fully into his embrace, he cupped her face and kissed her over a dozen times in succession.

System: Shielding activated, shielding activated. Every day they stuff me full of dog food. I really can't take it anymore.

Touching her cheek, Tang Guo looked at him with disdain and used his sleeve to wipe her face. "It's all saliva."

"I'll be more careful next time," Beitang Huo hurriedly apologized. "I promise there won't be any saliva."

Then he added, "Guoguo, what are you planning to do next? I know you. There's no way you'll let them off so easily, right?"

"You're too smart."

Tang Guo pursed her lips and smiled. "Those two are lunatics. I guess it won't be long before they demand that you hand me over. Shangguan Yi will claim that I am his consort and demand my return. If they fail, they might even declare war on Northern Yan."

"Our Northern Yan has strong soldiers and powerful horses. We fear no one. Guoguo, you don't need to worry. You've brought countless blessings to the people of Northern Yan. If they knew Southern Shu wanted to take you away, they'd willingly put down their farming tools, pick up weapons, and fight for you."

"You can rest assured. I can protect you. As long as you refuse, no one can force you to do anything."

"I know. Ah Huo, you're the best."

Warmth flooded Beitang Huo's heart. She had said he was the best, and that only made him want to treat her even better. No matter how much he spoiled her, it always felt insufficient.

"Ah Huo, can you send people to bring my family here?" Tang Guo narrowed her eyes slightly. "Those two aren't decent people. If they fail to snatch me away, they'll definitely resort to some despicable methods."

"Of course." Beitang Huo nodded. "I was thinking the same thing. Given what they've done in the past, using your family to threaten you would be perfectly in character."

"And Tang Jiao should be brought over as well. Her task is basically complete. There's no point in leaving her there any longer, and she might even be harmed by them."

"I'll do whatever Guoguo says."

Tang Guo pinched both of Beitang Huo's cheeks and leaned close to whisper into his ear, "Ah Huo, you're the Emperor of Northern Yan. Countless people outside fear and respect you. Your ministers tremble before you, and the rulers of other countries are wary of you. So why are you so adorable in front of me? You indulge me in everything. Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, it might damage your reputation?"

Beitang Huo held her tightly in his arms and whispered back beside her ear, "Guoguo probably doesn't know this, but everyone in Northern Yan knows that I'm afraid of my wife—terribly afraid of my wife."

"Haven't you noticed? Your words carry more weight than mine."

"Even in court, if I propose some new idea, the ministers will hesitate and object. But if I tell them that the idea was discussed with the Empress last night, they'll immediately proclaim, 'Her Majesty the Empress is wise! This minister supports it wholeheartedly.'"

Tang Guo burst out laughing. "Hahaha… Really?"

"Really." Beitang Huo smiled helplessly. "Guoguo, don't you know just how many benefits you've brought to Northern Yan? They are grateful to you and respect you."
