Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Li Qingyan only then noticed Song Qinian's reddened eyes and saw that his neck had also turned red. She wondered if it was because of his emotions or if his allergies had flared up again, but she didn't expect him to ask for a kiss.

She paused, then turned her face away: "Song Qinian, let the imperial physician examine you."

"No."

Her refusal seemed to provoke Song Qinian even more.

He kissed her without a second thought.

Urgent and burning hot, it felt like I was back in the past for a moment.

This time, however, he didn't act recklessly like before. His kiss was like a loss of control, yet also like a plea for reassurance, filled with too much caution and too much resentment.

It still carried the bitter taste of tears.

Li Qingyan was even more helpless.

I thought that after three years, he would be more composed, but it seems that he is even more out of control than before.

She had only ever heard of men's tears and women's stimulants before.

This time, I truly tasted the bitterness of tears.

It was none other than Song Qinian's tears.

But she didn't experience excitement; she was simply moved.

Recalling her anger towards Song Qinian three years ago, and knowing full well what the outcome would be three years later, she still made him make a choice, and even after he chased after her, she didn't get to see him one last time. Her heart felt a little bitter.

What happened back then wasn't Song Qinian's fault. He was under pressure too. But at that time, she was disheartened by Sannoye's departure and only thought that Song Qinian had wanted to leave the palace before. Rather than being hurt by her, she would rather go and pursue his future freedom.

But emotions are never something you can control.

Reason cannot permeate a person's entire life.

Song Qinian could sense Li Qingyan's softening attitude. His tense body slowly relaxed, and his urgent kiss finally slowed down.

He kissed her for the first time, truly and deeply.

It wasn't a forced kiss from her, nor a forced kiss from him, nor was it to wake her up; it was a genuine kiss.

It's addictive.

Li Qingyan was half-submerged and half-conscious, because everything her hands touched felt scalding hot.

Her hand moved slowly, finally stopping at her neck, where there were some bumps and lumps in addition to the bouncy texture.

Song Qinian has truly fallen ill.

Li Qingyan stepped away from him: "Song Qinian, calm down, you seem to be having an episode."

Song Qinian ignored him, pushing him away only to cling back again, displaying a frantic, unpredictable urge to have an episode or die whenever he felt like it.

Li Qingyan was helpless and it took a lot of effort to push Song Qinian away.

"Song Qinian, are you out of your mind? And look at where we are! This isn't the place for us to be so intimate. You're no longer my concubine."

This is not friendly to Song Qinian.

Compared to modern times, where women are often falsely accused of even minor achievements, the situation in Li Kingdom is such that both men and women are easily targeted by rumors, depending on their status and circumstances.

Song Qinian's past three years have been generally smooth sailing. He has lived up to expectations and is living a life that can be described as a leading man's story. Even though his abilities are impressive enough to convince people, there are still countless people who use his status as a concubine to gossip behind his back.

It seems that his promotion was solely due to his status.

Although fifty percent of the reason is indeed due to his status, Song Qinian shouldn't act recklessly for the sake of the future.

If she were seen or noticed, countless unofficial histories would be written about her, and future generations would only remember her identity and her scandalous history.

She has no hurdles to overcome now, and she wants to reduce the number of men who only want to climb the social ladder through their bodies.

Unfortunately, Song Qinian was unable to accept this kindness at the moment.

Just when I was feeling really excited.

"Still." He kissed her again.

Helpless, Li Qingyan braced herself against Song Qinian's shoulder and stepped back from him.

"You're not afraid of death, but I am."

If she lets him continue his reckless behavior, what will she do if he really falls ill or dies? How will she face the Song family and the officials of the court?

"Take a deep breath and calm down. If that doesn't work, I'll call the imperial physician directly."

Li Qingyan knew that sometimes allergies, in addition to allergens, are also related to emotions.

When Song Qinian was tied up and almost raped, he had an allergic reaction. Later, he would react whenever she got close to him, and she guessed that it was also related to his resistance.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly become agitated and start acting out?

Song Qinian knew from Li Qingyan's eyes that he couldn't act recklessly.

He pursed his lips and took a deep breath, noticing the strange sensation on his neck, and pulled his collar up a little.

He didn't understand why his body was acting so uncooperatively at this moment.

Every time I try to take things further with her, fate always seems to conspire against me.

It took him three years to finally get close to her.

Li Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but the composed Song Qinian kept his eyes fixed on her.

She felt as if Song Qinian's gaze had kissed her again and again.

Li Qingyan couldn't help but rub his arms, temporarily putting the expulsion order aside. If he gave it to Song Qinian now, it would be hard to say what would happen if his illness really relapsed.

at the same time.

In the Shihe Hall, Lan Jin couldn't help but rub his arms.

"Could that ghost marriage agreement really work? Is a ghost kissing me?"

He looked around warily, then wiped his lips hard.

Just now, while he was lying down, he suddenly felt something soft on his lips, a feeling very similar to when he inexplicably became close to the Crown Princess before.

Although they were very different, ... then they came again.

Lan Jinna was deeply shocked and couldn't understand it, because this was something she had never experienced before.

He used to feel itchy, painful, and even some unspeakable suffering, but there was always a layer between them, and it was never this obvious.

But once I arrived in the capital, the feeling suddenly became so obvious.

It's not just the simple pain and itching as before, but this tingling and itchy sensation, especially in this particular spot.

He had only experienced it once before, so he couldn't be mistaken.

Lan Jinna wiped her mouth vigorously.

"If it's not a ghost, then why can I sense it?" The feeling is so clear, even accompanied by a tremor.

This intimacy was far more intense than anything he had ever experienced before.

He touched his chest, pondering, "Could she possibly send kisses from afar?"

Lan Jin shook her head: "That's impossible. She certainly doesn't have the ability to kiss someone from a distance or even steal their innocence from a distance."

"It's not a ghost, it's not her from afar, could it be... that I've been poisoned?"

He pondered for a moment, and finally took out some talismans from the bag he carried with him.

He had these drawn by a master artist after seeing what appeared to be a ghost marriage contract and experiencing inexplicable pain in his body.

He then took out the Sanqing Bell, which he had purchased at great expense, and shook the bell in the hope of warding off evil spirits and summoning gods and ghosts.

To ensure the effect, he casually stuck a talisman on his forehead.

"Whether you're a god or a demon, get out of my way!"

After the ritual was over, he no longer felt the ghost kissing him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But after a short while, he felt something soft on his lips again.

This time, it was exactly the same as the time he had just experienced.

"What exactly happened?!"

The talisman and the Three Pure Ones Bell were both ineffective!

Lan Jinna suddenly had an idea: he wanted to go and see what Li Qingyan was doing.

Since the answer he seeks lies with Li Qingyan, perhaps he can find the answer by looking at her.

While you're at it, go and trim the peach branches too.

He remembered that there seemed to be peach branches outside Jingchen Palace.

"Cutting it will ward off evil spirits."
