After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

The familiar scent of agarwood filled her nostrils, stimulating her deep longing for this person and captivating her so much that she couldn't come back to her senses.

But a muffled groan shattered this lingering desire, and Wei Zhaoning came to her senses.

Pei Yi's eyes were glazed over, his whole body was shockingly flushed, and an abnormal blush appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, let's leave here first."

Wei Zhaoning used all her strength to pull Pei Yi out. The Xiao residence was full of people. If the Crown Prince and Lu Zhufeng found out where the Regent was, it would be difficult to handle. She looked up at the back garden. She remembered that when she went there to talk to Xiao He today, there seemed to be a house there, which was very secluded.

Pei Yi was now delirious, and Wei Zhaoning was practically dragging him along.

After confirming that no one was around, Wei Zhaoning pushed Pei Yi into the small house.

Faced with this situation, she remained calm. She had made thorough preparations before coming. Since it was medicine, there must be an antidote. She had prepared antidotes for all the harmful drugs she had seen on the market and carried them with her.

Judging from the Regent's current state, he must have been under the influence of aphrodisiacs. His veins are bulging, and he seems to be forcing himself to restrain himself.

A hint of suspicion flashed through Wei Zhaoning's mind: Why would the Crown Prince and Lu Zhufeng give the Regent a love drug?

However, she didn't think much of it and began rummaging through the brocade pouch she had brought.

"Ningning."

Pei Yi parted his thin lips slightly, his voice hoarse, trying to reconcile the scene before him.

"Is it really you, Ningning?"

"I must be dreaming."

Wei Zhaoning's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sense of suffocation for a moment.

"It'll be alright soon, stay calm." Her voice was trembling, but she still maintained a calm demeanor.

She cannot do anything that contradicts her previous behavior, otherwise all the groundwork she has laid will be in vain, and everything will be for nothing.

No.

The Regent was saved this time entirely because she returned to the Marquis's residence and found out the information. If she hadn't done that, what would the situation be like now?

Although she really wanted to hug Pei Yi again, she knew in her heart that the accidental embrace just now was the last time their body heat would resonate.

"Found it."

Wei Zhaoning found a bottle of clear dew, which was the antidote to quickly sober up.

She hurriedly opened the bottle cap, preparing to feed it to Pei Yi, but when she looked up, she froze.

Pei Yi stared at her intently, his gaze containing so much, burning so intensely it almost hurt Wei Zhaoning, direct and passionate, filled with a deep, unfathomable desire.

But Pei Yi seemed to be struggling. In fact, when Wei Zhaoning was looking for medicine, she could feel out of the corner of her eye that Pei Yi was staring at her, but he did not go forward. Sometimes he showed a pained expression, and sometimes he showed a straightforward and passionate expression.

The veins on his forehead were still bulging, and the muscles in his arms were throbbing violently.

Wei Zhaoning swallowed hard and, in one go, fed the dew into Pei Yi's mouth.

"Okay, it's alright, it's alright."

Wei Zhaoning thought about it. After all, she had saved Pei Yi. Would Pei Yi misunderstand? Would he think that she was not innocent with him?

So, she offered a few more explanations before leaving.

"Your Highness need not worry. I don't like owing people. You've saved me a few times before. I just feel that although it's fine to part ways like this, if you encounter any danger, I should repay your favor."

"Your Highness, please be more careful in your actions in the future. I have repaid your kindness, and I will not save you again next time. That's all for now. I have other matters to attend to. My husband is still waiting for me at the banquet. I hope that when Your Highness returns to the banquet, you will not mention what happened between us. My husband may misunderstand. Farewell."

As she said these words, Wei Zhaoning felt her heart was bleeding, but this path was always the right one. For the first time, she felt that her persistence was the right thing to do. Only by continuing to persevere could she protect the people she loved, not only the Regent, but also her mother and her maternal grandfather's family.

She quickly tried to escape, but just as she stepped out the door, a strong arm hooked around her waist and pulled her back without giving her a chance to refuse.

Wei Zhaoning's eyes widened. "You! Uh..."

Before she could speak, her lips were forcefully sealed with a kiss.

Pei Yi's eyes were brimming with desire as he greedily bit Wei Zhaoning's lips, his hand covering the back of Wei Zhaoning's head, forcefully prying open Wei Zhaoning's tongue. He really wanted the person in his arms so much; the feeling of finally getting what he had longed for was gradually taking away his reason, and his actions became increasingly rough due to his excitement.

After all the commotion, Wei Zhaoning started to feel oxygen-deprived and could barely breathe. "You...you let go...uh..."

Wei Zhaoning was already feeling dizzy. She tried to turn her head and finally broke free from his mouth, panting heavily.

"Even in your dreams, you don't want to be with me?" Pei Yi murmured absentmindedly, the sadness in his eyes piercing Wei Zhaoning's heart.

But Wei Zhaoning discovered an even more fatal problem: Pei Yi's body was getting hotter and hotter, and his rationality seemed to be fading away little by little. Had the dew from earlier not worked?

Wei Zhaoning found a few more bottles and forced Pei Yi to drink them, but in fact, none of them worked.

She suddenly remembered the conversation between Lu Zhufeng and Meng Yun, in which they said they needed to use the full dosage...

This is definitely not a medicine that can be bought on the market.

Wei Zhaoning's heart sank.

Because it was too hot, Pei Yi had already taken off his outer robe, exposing his strong muscles, each muscle throbbing with excitement and restraint.

His eyes held a powerful aggression, and his warm breath touched Wei Zhaoning's rosy cheeks, his breath coming in a low, hoarse voice.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and before his desire could surge even more, he saw Wei Zhaoning's terrified expression. He forcibly regained a sliver of reason and fought against the surging desire.

His eyes became fragile and frantic, his thin lips pressed tightly together, as if he wanted to suppress all the pain and dissatisfaction between his lips and teeth. When he opened his eyes again, his once clear and cold eyes were now bloodshot.

He gritted his teeth. "Did I scare you?"

"Don't be afraid. If you're really scared, you can sit further away and keep me company. I won't hurt you."

He tried his best to restrain himself, but a muffled groan escaped his lips. Unable to suppress it any longer, in a flash, he drew his dagger and stabbed it mercilessly into his palm. The intense pain temporarily took over.

"Don't be afraid, stay with me, I won't cross any lines... I know you're fake. But even in my dreams, please stay with me, okay? I won't see you when I wake up..."
