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

Li Qingyan gasped, her body trembling involuntarily.

"Feel sorry."

Wen Sheng struggled to sit up again to apologize, her voice no longer carrying its usual calm.

Li Qingyan shook his head with his mouth tightly shut. She didn't dare to make a sound, and she knew that it wasn't his fault. He was just trying to help her, but he got dragged into it.

Wen Sheng didn't speak again, because the rain was getting heavier and the wind was getting stronger. The wind and rain made it difficult for the boat to move, and a huge wave almost capsized the boat.

The two, who had only been separated for a short while, came together again. The more Wen Sheng struggled, the tighter they became, and the greater and more turbulent the force of their collision became.

Finally, Li Qingyan couldn't take it anymore and grabbed him, her voice trembling: "Don't struggle."

She thought things would be better if he stopped struggling, but it turned out that wasn't the case.

Wen Sheng didn't struggle, but she didn't lessen her strength either.

Their body temperature and breath intertwined, and they could clearly feel each other.

Wen Sheng could no longer maintain her composed demeanor.

Li Qingyan clearly heard him groan, and the temperature inside the cabin soared even higher.

Wen Sheng's expression changed slightly. At this moment, the two of them were already trembling. He thought this was the biggest test, but he soon realized that what followed was the real test for him.

Having endured so many malicious schemes, Wen Sheng disliked both men and women, and even loathed his own occasional natural reactions.

But this time, he forgot about those things he hated in the past.

Li Qingyan knew this wouldn't be easy, but she never expected it to be like this... like this...

Everything was too intense, and she couldn't help but want to back away, but the bed was small, and she had nowhere to retreat.

It can only withstand the impact caused by the ship's hull movement.

She couldn't move, and dared not make a sound, so she went from biting her lip to covering her lips.

The wind howled, the rain poured down, and the lake water churned with murky ripples, causing their boat to rock back and forth with the undulating waves.

The wind and rain continued incessantly, the lake surface was constantly turbulent, the long wind pushed the broken waves to surge, causing the boat to rock violently, sometimes crashing into the shore, and sometimes being swept back into the center of the lake by the waves.

Finally, the surging waves crashed against the hull, shattering into countless white foams...

Li Qingyan was sweating profusely, and in the end she almost fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind and rain gradually subsided, and the lake slowly returned to calm.

Only the aftershocks gently lapped at the hull, causing it to rock slowly, and then everything returned to calm.

The boat stabilized and began to slowly move towards its destination, with only the heavy breathing of two people remaining inside the cabin.

A moment later, the two parted ways.

Both of them were soaking wet, it was hard to tell whether it was rainwater, sweat, or something else.

Silence spread through the cabin.

"I'm sorry," Wen Sheng apologized again, especially noticing her disheveled clothes.

"No need to apologize." Li Qingyan's voice was still trembling slightly.

The third challenge came so suddenly and was completed in an unexpected way.

Jingfeng's voice rang out shortly afterward.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

The bed door opened, and since a doctor was no longer needed, Wen Sheng quickly said goodbye to Li Qingyan.

The two remained silent, as if nothing had happened.

After returning to Jingchen Palace, Li Qingyan immediately took a bath and washed up.

At that moment, she was only thankful that Sannoye couldn't sense it.

She didn't have time to think too much. After confirming that she was alright, she quickly tidied herself up, changed into clean clothes, and rushed to Yuanxi Palace.

At this moment, she should even be grateful for the storm, because it had concealed the traces and shrouded everything in darkness and rain.

This also prevented her and Wen Sheng from losing control due to the drugs and completely crossing the line.

She wanted to leave this crucial step for later, at the most critical juncture.

Furthermore, she cannot get pregnant. Before she is sure she is safe and has completely seized the protagonist's halo, she must not have children, otherwise she will become a breeding tool for the wise king and his accomplices to usurp the throne.

If she were to accidentally become pregnant at this point, and she didn't have the female lead's body to continue her promiscuous behavior even while pregnant, she would ultimately only face the fate of becoming cannon fodder again.

She had a gut feeling that if she crossed a line with someone, she would most likely become pregnant, and would inevitably have to give birth, just like the emperor had to give birth to a wise prince.

Therefore, it's just right that I can detoxify as before.

Li Qingyan left quickly, unaware that a figure stood in the darkness behind her, staring intently at her back.

It was Sannoh, his expression blank, mixed with distress.

Finally, he couldn't help but pout and exhale sharply through his nose, trying to relieve his frustration, while the silver bells on his body made a crisp sound.

But it's no use.

Sannoh remained distressed.

He arrived when the storm began, but he was too late.

Because he chose to numb himself, by the time he belatedly sensed something was wrong and rushed over, it was too late. Li Qingyan managed to overcome the danger and deal with Qiu Nanzhu on his own.

Wen Sheng rushed to her side before him and they solved the problem together.

He could only stand in the storm, sensing her intermittently, and guessing what had happened.

Compared to before, this time, he didn't feel it as strongly, nor as clearly. This was what he should have wanted, but he didn't forget all his troubles because of it.

He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't chosen to numb himself, he would have sensed her abnormality immediately and been the first to arrive.

In the end, it was still him who stood by her through the crisis and helped her solve the problem.

In this way, although she had other concubines, the person who was closest to her and knew everything about her was still him.

Just like before.

But because of his choice, someone has now stepped in.

But he could never go back to the way things were, so he had to re-examine synesthesia.

And I couldn't help but feel frustrated and regretful.

Li Qingyan vaguely heard the sound of silver bells, but when she turned around, she didn't see anyone. Her mind immediately returned to the important matter.

The eunuch is dead. Whether it was for the reason he was summoned or for the reason he died, there is enough time left for Li Qingyan to fabricate a flawless story.

Since the emperor was indeed not dead, and Li Qingyan did not cause any trouble at the emperor's sickbed, the Right Chancellor Zhao Gou could not bring Li Qingyan down even if he wanted to.

Upon receiving the news, Song Qinian rushed over in the storm, looking more disheveled than ever before.

He interrogated the half-dead Qiu Nanzhu.

Yes, Qiu Nanzhu did not die.

As expected of the most popular male supporting character, he is a sister-obsessed character who dresses as a woman in the book. Even though he had a relationship with Li Qingyan, what he did later made up for his impurity, and readers still like him.

Being popular means you're not easy to die from. Even if Li Qingyan stabbed him directly in the heart, it wouldn't work because he has reversed internal organs. For an ordinary person, the lower left side of the chest is the heart, but for Qiu Nanzhu, the left chest area is the lungs and liver, and the heart is on the right side.

They escaped death in such a comical way.

Although he was seriously injured, he escaped death.

When Song Qinian heard that Li Qingyan had been tricked into taking medicine, and that it was a medicine made by Qiu Nanzhu himself, he was extremely anxious, only able to relieve his anxiety by venting his anger, until she appeared safely.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart sank uncontrollably.

She's safe and sound, which means she's been detoxified. How did she do it? With Wen Sheng?

At this moment, Song Qinian knew he shouldn't care about Qiu Nanzhu's divisive words, but his heart still ached uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but care.
