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

Song Qinian admitted that Li Qingyan was right to scold him; he was indeed too fake, hiding his true emotions for years, and even fooling himself.

He had never been close to a woman before, and he wasn't a block of wood, so in the end, he couldn't resist such intimacy.

In the end, he was just an ordinary man, captivated by her intimacy and unconsciously drawn to her.

That night, Song Qinian did not sleep a wink.

That night, Li Qingyan slept very soundly.

The next day, after waking up, she glanced at Song Qinian, who was sleeping soundly beside her, and got up quietly.

I vented my frustrations last night, and my head is still a little fuzzy.

She went to see the emperor first, but the imperial physician's words remained unchanged: unless a miracle occurred, it would be difficult for her to regain consciousness.

Li Qingyan mustered his strength and spoke a few words to the still unconscious emperor.

On the way back, I ran into Ji Mingzheng.

He actually pushed his own wheelchair, and even Yin Gong and the others who were always by his side were nowhere to be seen: "General Ji."

Seeing the surprise on her face, Ji Mingzheng laughed heartily, his smile as bright as the rising sun behind him.

"Your Highness."

He bowed, then eagerly patted the wheelchair: "The wheelchair that you had the Mo family class modify and sent back has been returned. I can easily push it myself now, and I can move around freely."

"Congratulations! You can go wherever you want from now on."

"Hmm." Ji Mingzheng nodded, then pulled out a stack of silver notes from his pocket: "This is ten thousand taels. I heard there's a need for disaster relief, so I wanted to do my part."

Li Qingyan paused for a moment before accepting the gift: "On behalf of the people in the disaster area, I thank General Ji."

"It's nothing, you even helped me."

Perhaps it was Ji Mingzheng's sunny and bright mood that made Li Qingyan's tense nerves, which had been taut since last night, suddenly relax.

She thought, "This world really needs little sweet beans."

Shamelessly, she decided to bully Little Sweetie: "I'm amazing, right? Want to race me?"

Ji Mingzheng chuckled: "It's impressive, so impressive that it can outrun a disabled person."

"You don't dare to admit defeat on your own, so you have to say, 'Sister, I lost.'"

Ji Mingzheng chuckled again: "Who do you think you are, sister? Let's compete!"

The two were preparing for the match when they didn't notice Song Qinian standing not far away watching them.

She smiled genuinely at Ji Mingzheng.

Their laughter was completely untroubled, and they chatted and laughed.

Song Qinian thought coldly: She likes someone like General Ji, so she stayed overnight at Changfeng Palace for two consecutive nights, and smiled so much that her eyes disappeared whenever she saw him.

Last night she even asked him if he should express his true feelings and tell the truth.

What did he say? To be honest, she definitely wouldn't like to hear it.

Under Song Qinian's slightly cold gaze, tinged with jealousy, the match between the two began without any suspense.

Even the fastest wheelchair can't outrun a run. Li Qingyan easily ran ahead, and could even stop and walk backwards to catch Ji Mingzheng.

"You can't catch up! You knew you'd lose, yet you still agreed to the race."

Ji Mingzheng didn't reply, but suddenly stopped, then looked down and asked, "Why can't I push it anymore all of a sudden?"

He frowned: "Your Highness, isn't there some flaw in your improvements?"

"Really? Let me see."

Li Qingyan went forward to check without warning, but when she returned, Ji Mingzheng chuckled and suddenly pushed the wheelchair again.

"Just kidding!"

Li Qingyan: "...Stop right there!"

Li Qingyan was furious and went to pull the wheelchair. The two of them wrestled and played around, and in the end, the wheelchair tipped over.

The two were thrown to the ground. After Li Qingyan got up, she was wary of being tricked once before and didn't immediately go to help him up.

Ji Mingzheng sat on the ground: "...Your Highness has finished your revenge, shouldn't you help me up? Does Your Highness intend for me to remain seated on the ground forever?"

"I'm not getting revenge. You lied to me before. If you promise you won't lie to me again, I'll help you up."

Ji Mingzheng, who was already feeling disheveled and downcast after lying on the ground, was amused by the situation.

"No one lies about falling down. I won't hit you or retaliate. Come here."

"Okay, then I'll help you up."

Li Qingyan then went over, first helping the wheelchair up, and then forcefully pulling Ji Mingzheng up.

Ji Mingzheng, who always tries to reduce his own weight and lessen the burden on others, thought of Li Qingyan's attitude just now and deliberately leaned his whole weight on her for the first time, even exerting force secretly.

He didn't know why he was being so childish, but he did it anyway.

"Hey, why are you so heavy?" Li Qingyan said as expected.

She increased the pressure, and then, without warning, suddenly there was a "poof" sound.

Li Qingyan froze, and Ji Mingzheng also froze, as if the sound just now was a fart.

Just as Ji Mingzheng was about to ask, Li Qingyan suddenly put him on the wheelchair and then turned and left.

No, they ran away.

Oh my god, I'm going crazy! Let's find a hole for her to crawl into.

She actually farted from being pressed down!

She actually farted in front of Ji Mingzheng! How embarrassing!

Li Qingyan, who desperately wanted to die, had only run a few steps when she bumped into someone's arms.

A familiar, delicate fragrance wafted over, and a familiar voice rang out above my head.

"Your Highness, be careful."

It was Song Qinian.

Song Qinian just wanted to remind Li Qingyan that she should get down to business. Even if she liked Ji Mingzheng, she shouldn't be fooling around in the palace like this, and she shouldn't let beauty interfere with her important duties.

Unexpectedly, Ji Mingzheng suddenly fell down as soon as he got close, and then he heard this good show.

Song Qinian tried to hold it in, but as soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice carried a hint of laughter.

Well, most people couldn't resist.

Li Qingyan heard it clearly, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

A fart was thrown in front of two people.

Tired, destroy it.

She forcefully kissed Song Qinian last night, and now she's embarrassed herself so badly the next day.

What does Song Qinian think of her?

She dared not think.

Every time she tries to do something, the result is never what she expects.

Having witnessed this scene, would anyone still be moved, or would they still be in a love triangle?

Li Qingyan felt utterly hopeless.

"Your Highness, it's almost time. We should prepare to go to the Secretariat."

Song Qinian nodded to Ji Mingzheng, who was trembling from trying to suppress his laughter and almost fell out of his wheelchair again.

"Hmm." Li Qingyan didn't want to talk.

For the time being, she doesn't want to see Song Qinian, and she especially doesn't want to see Ji Mingzheng.

But it wouldn't work. Song Qinian was still discussing the trip to the Secretariat with her, and even took the initiative to follow her back to Jingchen Palace and check her breakfast.

"Your Highness, this is filling and delicious."

"I will go with Your Highness in a while. Please call me if Your Highness needs anything."

Song Qinian was still as gentle and considerate as ever, no, even more gentle and considerate, and judging from his words, he no longer refused to get close to her.

"Song Qinian, why are you suddenly so gentle? You seem like a different person." She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Song Qinian was more radiant than usual today, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. He was completely different from his previous noble yet low-key appearance.

"Really?" Song Qinian asked indifferently, making no mention of having passed in front of the bronze mirror several times just now.

"Yes, are you plotting some kind of revenge because of what happened last night when I... forced myself on you?"

Song Qinian shook his head: "No."

He smiled bitterly to himself; his change of heart had led her to think of revenge.

She probably never imagined that the man she thought was the most ruthless, aloof, and unapproachable would fall for her and develop feelings for her.

He was both baffled and yet seemed to take it all for granted.

Moreover, it's no wonder she was so suspicious. Knowing his feelings, his first reaction wasn't to be happy or to tell her his feelings, but to decide to stay calm and conceal his thoughts.
