In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

Su Gui immediately understood the meaning. When the lord departs, it is not surprising that he usually entrusts all matters to a reliable person to manage.

But he suddenly felt Li Yuanchang staring at him.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, you...you wouldn't...?"

"Yes, that's you!" Li Yuanchang blurted out.

"Me?" Su Gui was shocked.

"Your Highness, this..."

"I am new to the Prince of Han's residence, and I have never made such a decision before. I'm afraid this is not suitable. Perhaps Your Highness could choose someone else, and I would assist you from the sidelines?"

He knew very well that the Han Prince's Mansion was not just a few hundred people, but an infinitely vast network connecting all parts of Liangzhou.

Li Yuanchang laughed and said, "How will a person know they can't do it if they don't try?"

"I trust you, and you must trust yourself. Besides, you are not alone; the Prince of Han's court has many capable advisors who can cooperate with you."

"As for the fact that you are a newcomer, you can rest assured. Since I have entrusted you with this responsibility, I will naturally give you the corresponding authority. No one will dare to ostracize you!"

His calmness and composure touched Su Gui.

Good leaders are always able to motivate their subordinates.

This is it.

The still-young Su Gui was deeply inspired, her potential and courage stimulated, and she suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"

"Su Gui, I will certainly live up to your mission!"

Li Yuanchang smiled broadly: "Come on, let's drink!"

"Your subordinate pays respects to the King of Han!"

"..."

The drinking session lasted until five quarters past dusk, ending when Su Gui could no longer hold her liquor.

Su Gui was taken back to her room by her guards.

Li Yuanchang walked out of the lobby and let out a loud burp!

Seeing that the lights were still on in the side room not far away, he walked over alone, driven by alcohol.

A graceful figure on the windowsill under the moonlight.

"Who's outside?"

"It is I, the king."

"Your Highness." The voice inside sounded slightly surprised, followed by light footsteps, and Su Qing came out.

Since the house had just been moved into, there were no servants at all, making it extremely quiet and spacious; you could even hear the chirping of insects.

"Your Highness, have you finished drinking?"

"Yes, Su Gui is drunk and has already fallen asleep. I saw that the lights were still on here, so I came to check on you and take my leave." Li Yuanchang let out another hiccup.

Su Qing gently smelled the strong aroma of alcohol.

"Your Highness, you've had quite a bit to drink. How about having a cup of tea to sober up before you leave?"

"Alright."

Li Yuanchang readily agreed and then walked straight inside.

Su Qing's jade-like face showed surprise. She had only offered him a cup of sobering tea, not invited Li Yuanchang inside!

She was about to speak when Li Yuanchang had already gone inside. Feeling awkward and embarrassed, and not wanting to call him out again, she had no choice but to follow him inside.

In just half a day, Su Qing's room was tidied up, resembling a fragrant chamber, exuding a woman's unique scent.

Splash...

Su Qing poured Li Yuanchang a cup of tea.

"Your Highness."

She offered it with both hands.

Li Yuanchang accepted the order, looked at the wide-open door, and suddenly said, "The moon is so round tonight."

Su Qing looked up and said, "Yes, perhaps even God thinks today is a perfect day."

Li Yuanchang subconsciously brought the tea to his lips, his eyes fixed on the moon outside.

puff! !

In an instant, he vomited, his face contorted in pain from the burns.

"Your Highness!" Su Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Yuanchang's face.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, it's too hot."

"Blame me!"

"Are you burned?"

"It's nothing," Li Yuanchang said, spitting out his tongue.

Su Qing bowed slightly, looking at him nervously.

Their eyes met suddenly, and in that instant, something indescribable was revealed.

Li Yuanchang's eyes were as dark and deep as a well.

Su Qing's phoenix eyes have witnessed many ups and downs, becoming incredibly complex and multifaceted.

At the same time, fragments of past memories flashed through their minds.

The two people who were drugged that night didn't have complete memories; they only had fragments, but those fragments were enough to leave a deep impression on them.

The eye contact lasted for five breaths, which felt like an eternity.

From a psychological perspective, if a man and a woman can make eye contact for more than five seconds, it indicates that something is not going on!

A look of embarrassment and panic flashed across Su Qing's eyes. Coming to her senses, she immediately turned to the side to avoid him. Just as she was about to retreat, she was grabbed by Li Yuanchang, who was reeking of alcohol.

"Your Highness!"

Su Qing was startled and reached out to stop him.

Li Yuanchang took a deep breath, trying to calm his burning body.

The next second, he opened his eyes and pulled Su Qing into his arms.

Su Qing was so frightened that her mind went blank and her face turned pale. Before she could react, she was forcibly kissed.

It took her several breaths before she began to resist.

"Well……"

"Your Highness, you are drunk."

"Don't do that."

"Be careful someone sees you!"

"Well……"

Su Qing's strength was no match for Li Yuanchang.

Moreover, from a technical standpoint, Li Yuanchang was a master. With a single French kiss, he stirred up Su Qing's soul and spirit, leaving her mind blank and her body nearly paralyzed!

Her struggles grew weaker and weaker, her body became increasingly limp and uncontrollable, and only her breathing continued to become heavier.

boom!

The two stumbled and slammed the door shut.

The red candles flickered, casting long shadows of the two people.

boom!

With another soft, gentle sound, Su Qing was pushed down onto the soft couch.

Only at this moment did her dazed eyes and limp body fully recover. Her phoenix eyes widened in shock, and all the strict etiquette returned to her at this moment.

She was terrified and pushed Li Yuanchang away with all her might.

Her long legs were trembling, as if she had violated a taboo, and her delicate brows furrowed: "Your Highness, have you gone mad?"

"Get up, you!"

Li Yuanchang ignored him completely and, like a chariot that could not be stopped, kissed him again.

And this time, it's not just a simple kiss.

Su Qing was terrified and struggled continuously.

At first, her resistance was very strong, but under Li Yuanchang's various offensives, her mountain-like belief slowly began to waver.

There is an instinctive attraction between men and women, which is something that no human being can avoid.

Moreover, the two of them have already made a mistake once, setting a precedent.

When Li Yuanchang reached into her dress, her face turned bright red.

She refused to struggle, but was too embarrassed to call for help; it wouldn't be good for her or for Li Yuanchang.

Most importantly, she had absolutely no aversion to Li Yuanchang; it was simply fear and a conditioned reflex stemming from propriety.

And so, under the complex pressure of various factors, she reluctantly agreed.

Until Li Yuanchang reached for her belt.

Her heart leaped into her throat, her whole body tensed. If she didn't stop him now, it would be too late to salvage the situation. How could she not know what Li Yuanchang was planning?

She grabbed it with her delicate hand, her voice trembling.

"Your Highness, please don't do this. That's enough. I'll pretend it never happened..."
