Besides, who would want to risk their life by provoking Master Xiao?

After the carriage left the palace, Su Tiyue could no longer contain herself, and she would occasionally lift the curtain of the carriage window to peek out.

Everything in Yong'an City was familiar to her; Su Tiyue had traveled to almost every street and alley before entering the palace.

With Lunar New Year's Eve fast approaching, the weather has warmed up considerably, and the streets are bustling with people, with every household decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Looking at the increasingly familiar scenery before her, she could no longer hold back and spoke:

"Master... After I finish seeing the doctor, could you take me somewhere?"

Xiao Heye glanced at her and said indifferently, "Tsk, Your Highness, this servant didn't bring you out for fun. Are you perhaps planning something wicked again?"

Su Tiyue waved her hand and quickly said, "It's not a bad idea. I was just thinking that since we're already out of the palace, why not... go home and visit someone on the way?"

Xiao Heye didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly.

Seeing that he didn't react, Su Tiyue cautiously added, "I won't go in... I'll just take a look from afar, just one look."

Su Tiyue knew very well that if she were to appear before her family now, especially alongside this treacherous eunuch...

It will definitely scare my parents to death.

But she really missed home. Ever since Xiao Heye said he would take her out of the palace, she hadn't actually been thinking about the wound on her forehead...

Instead, she was thinking about going home for a visit.

Even just a glimpse from afar would be enough.

Xiao Heye lowered his head and coldly replied, "But the place we're going to isn't on the way to the Su residence."

After saying that, Xiao Heye raised his head and gave her a cryptic look.

That look in her eyes is anything but innocent.

Su Tiyue's gaze fell on the slightly upturned corners of his mouth. She was stunned for a while before she realized the meaning behind Xiao Heye's look.

She swayed her hips and moved closer to Xiao Heye, bringing her cherry lips close to his face to kiss his sharply defined profile.

"And now?" Su Tiyue asked her.

Xiao Heye smiled and changed his mind, saying, "It's on the way too."

Before Su Tiyue could even feel happy after he finished speaking, Xiao Heye suddenly reached out, grabbed her slender waist, and pulled her onto his lap.

“Your Majesty, negotiating with this servant comes at a price…” He gripped Su Tiyue’s waist with one hand and put his other arm around her shoulder.

Su Tiyue sat sideways on his lap, looking at him blankly: "The price...? Wasn't that just now..."

Didn't you kiss him?

What else do you want...?

Xiao Heye leaned his forehead closer, gently brushing his nose against her fair face, and said domineeringly, "That one doesn't count."

Su Tiyue: "But... um..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Heye forcefully captured her lips, swallowing all the unspoken words into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of kisses rained down on her, his frenzied and forceful plundering and demanding almost suffocating Su Tiyue.

Intense, passionate, irresistible...
