This drug is meant to make someone lose their senses and have their mind filled with those kinds of thoughts. Xiao Heye was already sexually frustrated and had a lot of energy that he didn't know where to use. If he drank this wine, she would probably be the one to suffer.

Seeing his persistence, Su Tiyue was extremely anxious and quickly said, "I know I was wrong, Master Yin. I shouldn't have put the drug in your wine. Don't drink it. If you drink it, I, I..."

She stammered and said "I" several times, but then she couldn't continue.

Instead, she whimpered and sobbed softly.

Even though she cried so pitifully, Xiao Heye had no intention of changing his mind. Instead, he asked nonchalantly, "What will Your Highness do?"

What will happen?

Su Tiyue thought for a moment with her tearful eyes, "I guess I'll die, right?"

She'll be unable to get out of bed, he'll crush her, and...

Seeing that she remained silent, Xiao Heye lowered his voice and asked again, "Your Majesty just agreed that I could do whatever I wanted. What, it's only been a short while... and it's already gone back on its word?"

Su Tiyue shook her head, tears streaming down her face, unable to utter a single word.

Knowing that he was still holding a grudge and that this matter was not over, Su Tiyue herself had made the promise, so how could she dare to go back on her word now?

This time, Xiao Heye was serious.

"It counts." After a long silence, she replied softly.

"That's good."

Xiao Heye smiled with satisfaction, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised. He tilted his head back and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Seemingly still not satisfied, he poured another cup and handed it to her: "Your Majesty, please?"

Su Tiyue looked at the wine glass he handed her in horror, then looked at Xiao Heye with a helpless expression, wanting to refuse but not daring to be too direct.

After thinking for a moment, she timidly said, "This medicine is too strong. The palm print... I'm weak and I'm afraid I can't withstand it."

"That's true." He took back his glass and drank it down. "Then I'll drink it for you."

After finishing two glasses of wine, Xiao Heye got up and put the wine pot and wine cups back on the table.

Although the effects of the Hehuan Powder wouldn't take effect immediately, Su Tiyue still hesitated as she watched him approach her step by step.

She bent her knees and sat in the middle of the bed. As she saw Xiao Heye's face gradually enlarging, revealing his evil and unrestrained nature, Su Tiyue used her hands to support herself on the bed and moved back a little.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Heye simply grabbed her shoulders and pinned her against the wall. His sinister voice sent a chill down her spine.

He said, "You were begging me to help you just now, and now you want to run away?"

"Your Majesty, playing hard to get isn't done like that..."

Su Tiyue nodded, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. Then, large tears slid down her reddened eyes, but they fell into his heart.

It's heartache and reluctance.

Those two voices echoed in my mind again.

One option is: Let her go, let her go...

The other is: torture her, torture her...

Now, Su Tiyue is heartbroken and fearful, while Xiao Heye is struggling and in pain.

Why is it that he is the one suffering, and he is always the one tormented?

Why did Su Tiyue say so many sweet words to him, yet still refuse to believe him at the crucial moment?

Xiao Heye couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it at all...

All he knew was that Su Tiyue's tears were too deadly to him.

...

He closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, and after struggling for a long time, he exhaled a breath of cold air, his voice becoming icy and chilling.

Long, slender fingers with well-proportioned joints gripped Su Tiyue's delicate neck, his tone commanding and forceful: "Don't cry!"

Xiao Heye glared at her, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, before saying, "Don't cry out in pain, just behave."

Su Tiyue nodded and quickly wiped away the tears on her face with her fingers.

A muffled clap of thunder boomed, the candles in the room flickered twice, and then went out.

...

She couldn't sleep all night, and only when dawn was breaking did Su Tiyue finally drift off to sleep.

When she woke up, she had regained some of her strength and found that Xiao Heye was no longer in the room.

He must have gone to court.

Su Tiyue dragged her tired body, washed up, got dressed, and prepared to go out for a walk.

As soon as she opened the door, Jiang Lisu, who was guarding the entrance, stopped her: "Your Majesty." She nodded slightly and gave a curtsy.

Perhaps because she switched Su Tiyue's 'medicine' yesterday, she had a hint of apology on her face when she saw Su Tiyue today.

But she had no choice but to obey her master's orders. Jiang Li didn't dislike Su Tiyue at all; in fact, she found her warm, sunny, gentle, and considerate of her servants.

"Miss Jiang? What are you doing here?" Su Tiyue asked in surprise.

Jiang Lisu paused, then lowered her head and replied, "The Grand Eunuch said that without his order, Her Highness cannot leave the room."

"What?"

"Is he going to put me under house arrest?" Su Tiyue asked incredulously, frowning.

Jiang Lisu did not reply.

Su Tiyue sighed helplessly, turned around and went back to her room. She didn't make a fuss, but just sat by the window in silence, staring blankly at the scenery in the yard.

Aside from the lack of freedom, Xiao Heye instructed his men to take very good care of her.

It wasn't until evening that Xiao Heye returned to his room and saw her still sitting on the bench by the window.

Xiao Heye walked over, bent down and hugged her from behind, then kissed Su Tiyue's hair.

Then came his tender kisses and nibbles on Su Tiyue's neck.

Then, he carried her...to the bed.

During this time, the two did not exchange any words.
