Li Yunyan suddenly sat up, her body involuntarily retreating towards the foot of the bed, trying to wrap herself up with the remaining fabric, but all in vain.

She sobbed softly, looking pitiful and helpless.

Ying Huai then realized that something was wrong!

How could His Majesty fall asleep halfway through his work?

not good!

The duty of the secret guards is to protect His Majesty's safety. Upon noticing that His Majesty's condition was abnormal, Ying Huai immediately appeared inside the house.

A large, bony hand gripped Li Yunyan's neck.

When Li Yunyan saw the person who had suddenly appeared in the room, she was so frightened that she froze!

Ying Huai used his other hand to check He Beiyi's breath.

Thank goodness! He's just unconscious.

He was about to question her when he turned around and saw Li Yunyan's beautiful face and panicked eyes.

He didn't even realize that the hand gripping her neck had loosened slightly.

"Who are you?"

What have you done to His Majesty?

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

Li Yunyan and Ying Huai looked at each other, and after a moment, Ying Huai looked away uncomfortably.

A pair of delicate white hands gripped the large hand on her neck, and Li Yunyan's voice was pitiful and weak: "Don't kill me, I just, I just gave His Majesty some sleeping potion, he will wake up tomorrow morning!"

A soft, warm touch came from his wrist. Ying Huai's eyes flickered, but he still didn't lower his hand.

"Why did you seduce His Majesty? Tell me!"

Li Yunyan looked like a little girl being bullied by a bully, her eyes welling up with tears as she stammered, "Don't be mean to me. I just don't want His Majesty to touch me."

The situation before Ying Huai was unlike anything he had ever seen before, and he was unknowingly led astray by Li Yunyan.

His voice softened considerably as he asked, "Why are you unwilling?"

Li Yunyan bit her lower lip, her small, pearly teeth gleaming, making her already rosy lips even redder.

She bit her lip tightly, remaining silent, as if afraid of him, or as if she found it difficult to speak.

Ying Huai pressed his thumb against her throat, seemingly threatening, but actually using very little force: "Talk! If you don't talk, I'll kill you!"

Having spent a few days with His Majesty, Ying Huai knew that this woman was very gentle and easily frightened.

She was indeed frightened by him, her eyes filled with panic. She grabbed his two small hands and tried to pry his fingers off his neck.

Ying Huai felt as if a pair of soft hands were stroking each of his fingers, causing a tingling and numb sensation to rise in his fingertips, and goosebumps immediately appeared all over his body.

"You...you stop moving and talk!"

Her tears began to stream down her face, dripping onto the back of his hand.

She sobbed softly, but was too afraid of him to speak, so she spoke in a low voice.

"Waaah, His Majesty has too many women, he doesn't need me. I just want to find someone who likes me, no matter what his status or position is. As long as he is devoted to me, I will be willing to make love with him."

She spoke her last two words almost inaudibly, but Ying Huai had excellent hearing and heard them very accurately.

Is that really what she was thinking?

"You are already His Majesty's concubine, whether you like it or not!"

"But I was dragged here! Waaaaah! I didn't come to the palace willingly!"

Yinghuai was indeed aware of this; after His Majesty met her, he immediately ordered an investigation into her background.

Her father held a low-ranking official position and was not required to participate in the selection of imperial concubines. However, he was abducted by someone who was handling matters below and wanted to curry favor with the emperor.

His Majesty was indeed pleased and even gave the people who did the work a lot of rewards.

"But you can't use drugs as a method!"

Ying Huai's hand was already lightly resting on her neck, and Li Yunyan's hand was also quietly grasping his thumb, occasionally rubbing it a couple of times, while her eyes kept glancing at his face.

She looks even better in person than in photos!

With deep-set eyes and dark eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, he was as handsome as a male protagonist who stepped out of a comic book!

Compared to him, He Beiyi lying next to him looks like a big pig's trotter!

They're talking back and forth like they're having a chat, not an interrogation.

Li Yunyan reached one hand under the blanket, and when she raised her hand again, there were two small pills in her hand.

She laid it out in front of him, saying timidly, "I tried to resist, but it was no use. I only have these two left, enough for two more nights at most. Please let me have two more nights, okay? Once I've thought it through, I'll... I'll..."

Upon seeing the evidence, Ying Huai instinctively wanted to confiscate it, but Li Yunyan was faster. She put the hand holding the pill into her undergarments, actually retrieving it into her system space.

A sly glint in her eyes as she looked up and asked, "Are you going to confiscate my medicine?"

Following her movements, Ying Huai then realized that she was dressed scantily.

She was only wearing a thin, sheer undergarment on her upper body. The undergarment was too small, and her figure could not be fully contained, so a large expanse of her beauty spilled out from the side.

The lower part was fine; I was wearing underwear, but it looked a bit wrinkled after the struggle.

The hand that was on her neck withdrew as if electrocuted, and Ying Huai immediately stood up and turned his back to her.

"Hurry up and put your clothes on!"

"Oh well."

Li Yunyan's outer clothes were all torn to shreds, but thankfully her underpants were still intact. She rolled off the bed, deliberately walking past him to get clothes from the wardrobe.

Ying Huai turned her face away, but she could clearly hear her taking out her clothes and the rustling sound of her dressing.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his ears gradually turned red.

"My lord, I'm dressed."

A soft voice came from behind.

Ying Huai turned around and saw that she had changed into a white floral dress, her long hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall, the tear stains on her face wiped away, her face without makeup, and she stood there charmingly.

Despite the casual attire, Ying Huai felt even more uncomfortable than the scenery he had inadvertently glimpsed earlier. It was like an ordinary couple in their bedroom, dressed casually in front of their closest person.

But she was indeed dressed properly, so Ying Huai couldn't find fault with her anymore and reached out to her, saying, "Give it to me!"

"What?"

Li Yunyan blinked her clear, big eyes and pretended to be stupid.

Ying Huai found himself unable to say anything harsh to her.

He sounded somewhat helpless, which was also evident in his tone: "If you hand over the medicine to me now, I won't expose what you did tonight."

"Are you serious?"

She unconsciously took two steps closer to him, looking up at him. Her little face was full of joy, and her eyes, as clear as a spring, were full of trust in him.

It was originally a lie to her, but now...

"Um."

Then he saw her happily take out the two pills from her inner garment, and innocently hand them to him.

"Give!"

Ying Huai reached out and took the two small pills, which still retained her body temperature, but now felt a little hot in his hands.

she......

So easily fooled, what will become of them in the palace?
