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

After returning to Fengyun Pavilion, Sannoye threw himself onto the bed and slept there for three days.

When he woke up three days later, he thought that sleeping was the best and most carefree thing.

Her reaction was amusing, yet annoying.

The pain, he can bear it now.

She's afraid of pain and weak, so he can take her pain for her and know her condition at any time. He won't have to worry about her dying mysteriously in some corner and taking him with her.

But he didn't want to experience those feelings anymore.

Therefore, he should solve the problem of the mutation of the Life and Death Gu and the problem of synesthetic palpitations.

He thought that once this was resolved, he could go back to how things were before.

He sleeps every day, and occasionally he gets annoyed that she's itchy or in pain, which affects his sleep, but he can tolerate it.

Li Qingyan remained quiet for two days. A day later, she tried scratching herself to see how Sannoye would react, but he didn't come even after she scratched him three times.

They're no longer available whenever I call them.

She scratched him several times the next day, but he still didn't come.

Is he avoiding me?

On the third day, she increased the pressure, even pinching herself, but he still didn't come.

Huai Xu, being quite perceptive, went to invite him once, but he didn't show up.

In the past few days, in order to accumulate more halo points, she has continued to increase intimacy as planned, and everything has gone very smoothly.

Perhaps because the last time was so exciting, things have been much calmer these past few days, and my luck hasn't decreased.

The disaster relief efforts proceeded smoothly, and the reports from the Central Secretariat never stopped.

Even though they were all difficult memorials that the wise prince had deliberately sent to her, intending to disbelieve that she could handle them all.

But Li Qingyan still accepted everything without question, and Song Qinian had also changed, doing his best to assist and help. Compared to before, he was much more proactive in embracing, holding hands, and staying sober.

Their attitude was nonchalant, as if to say: it was just a hug and holding hands.

Now, seeing Song Qinian every day is like a gentle breeze, pleasing to the eye and truly showcasing the elegance of a young master from a prestigious family.

During the previous halftime break, I only walked around for a short while.

Now, during his brief moments of rest, his leisure activities have suddenly become much more diverse: listening to the wind, burning incense, arranging flowers, hanging paintings, making tea, playing the zither, drinking wine, listening to the rain, watching the clouds, and tasting spring water. She has also experienced some of the elegant pursuits of the ancients.

He approached casually, with simple touches, even just overlapping sleeves, without crossing any boundaries or holding hands, yet the room was filled with an intimate atmosphere, making Li Qingyan's heart race.

In truth, Li Qingyan had never seen or experienced anything like this before.

The atmosphere between the two was almost ambiguous.

However, Song Qinian's attitude made it seem as if all of this was commonplace, not something he deliberately dressed up to be dazzling, and certainly not something that could be used to seduce or flirt.

Li Qingyan could only tell herself not to overthink it.

Song Qinian was well-versed in balancing work and rest and knew how to manage his time effectively. He knew when to relax and when not to neglect his official duties. With his guidance and her extraordinary perspective, she resolved one difficult issue after another in an unexpected way.

Contrary to Song Qinian's assumption that he would handle most of the work, she handled it herself with his guidance and assistance.

She meant it when she said she wouldn't let him interfere in politics, because she really only wanted him to teach her. She had her own ideas, and those ideas that sometimes caused her to suffer heavy losses, but were insightful and far-sighted, were born in front of him.

Song Qinian was amazed several times in just a few days.

The phrase "a century-long plan" that Li Qingyan casually mentioned shook him to his core.

He couldn't help but ask Li Qingyan why she would rather suffer a loss than accept everything.

"Your Highness, you can demonstrate your abilities by handling just a few of these commemorative documents."

"Because I am now acting as the Empress Dowager to handle state affairs, a country cannot be all good things. Whether it is good or bad, it must be dealt with."

"This is also my time to demonstrate my abilities. Given time, my abilities will become apparent. Those people in the court are not simple either; they will know who to choose."

Song Qinian nodded repeatedly, thinking that she had taught him another lesson.

He is still too concerned about gains and losses.

Li Qingyan handled her official duties smoothly, and her relationship with Wen Sheng also grew closer. Her acting with Ji Mingzheng also proceeded smoothly.

Everything went so smoothly that it seemed she had successfully snatched the protagonist's spotlight, but Li Qingyan felt vaguely uneasy.

This unease prevented her from taking any action, even though she knew she should have Qiu Nanzhu try to treat the emperor.

Sannoye had already used the Life-and-Death Gu on Qiu Nanzhu. In the original book, he did this by getting the original owner pregnant, causing her to have a difficult childbirth, while he, as the child's father, escaped the calamity.

Now, Li Qingyan has obtained another poison from Sangnuoye that requires the antidote to be taken every three days or else the poison will cause death. He has increased the dosage of this poison to Qiu Nanzhu. In theory, it is worth trying to treat the poison. Otherwise, the closer the emperor gets to his death, the harder it will be to change his fate.

Coma is also the most dangerous condition. In ancient times, the chances of regaining consciousness were greatly reduced if the coma lasted for a long time, especially more than a month.

But she still hesitated, intuitively feeling that she didn't have enough leverage.

Moreover, calm does not mean the end; it may be that beneath the calm, an even bigger storm is brewing, that is, a greater challenge.

If the second level was already like that, the third level will only get more and more outrageous.

She suspected that this time she might have to be completely honest, or even make more outrageous demands.

But she has to get through this third hurdle, no matter how fierce the storm.

Once she gets through this, she might have a period of good fortune and peace, and she took this good fortune to Qiu Nanzhu to treat the emperor.

This idea wasn't new, but although she had gotten along better with the others, she hadn't said anything.

That's really too presumptuous of me, and it's not really easy to say.

Since she had cleared the previous two levels with Sannoh, she subconsciously wanted to find Sannoh again.

And tonight, it was Sannoye's turn to serve him in bed.

"I'm going to find him."

Li Qingyan was still afraid of snakes, but in order to find Sannoye, she mustered up her courage and entered the tranquil Fengyun Pavilion, which seemed like another world.

But she didn't see Sannoh, only the old servant: "Your Highness, the concubine said not to look for him unless it's urgent. He's looking for a way to eliminate empathy."

His accent was more pronounced than Sannoh's; you had to listen carefully to understand him.

"Can it be eliminated? How long will it take?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure. Starting today, Sang Cejun said that Fengyun Pavilion will be temporarily sealed off."

"Sang Cejun asked me to tell Your Highness that he is not feeling any pain now, so you don't need to worry about him."

After pressing for answers, Li Qingyan learned that when Sannoye returned home that night, he had the little white snake bite him to numb his senses and stop him from feeling anything about her.

This part of the plot overlaps with the original text.

Unlike the original text, he closed off the reason for her pain, but did not stop her from seeking help from others.

He would even answer her questions and carry out her orders without disobeying them.

But he didn't want to feel her presence; he wanted to distance himself from her.

Sannoye did not speak, yet it seemed as if she was silently accusing her.

Li Qingyan left, looking at the gloomy sky, and let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, taking them down wasn't so easy.

She suddenly felt a little tired.

All she wanted was to live, to bring her mother back to life.

Even though all of this was indirectly trying to help them survive, it ended up making it seem like she was the one who was unfaithful and hurt him.

This is a female-dominated novel, and the reality after the transmigration is just like that. Their entry into the palace was also for a mission, and the abnormality of the Life and Death Gu was also due to Sannoye's own mistake.

"Yes, I did nothing wrong."

Li Qingyan told herself this.

"never mind."

She thought she needed to have a serious talk with them; their demands would only become more intimate, and she couldn't wait until they reached a certain point.

If neither of them is willing, and they don't want to cooperate afterward, she will face big trouble, even death, and she will have to find a new male lead.
