She flinched, lost her grip, and the scalding tea in the cup spilled out immediately.

She cried out in surprise at being burned, and when she looked down, her skin was already red.

Xie Jingrun was also startled. He didn't have time to scold her. He quickly grabbed her hand, walked to the basin stand, and put her hand into the basin of water.

Rong Qingqing was led away by him, completely dazed. When she saw their hands clasped together in the basin of water, she suddenly came to her senses and pulled her hand back. Emperor Zhaojing was still watching from the side. How could he be so unscrupulous?

Xie Jingrun frowned and looked at her, "Does it not hurt anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Rong Qingqing shook her head and put her hands behind her back. "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Xie Jingrun was about to say something when he saw her nod towards Emperor Zhaojing.

He then realized what was happening, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Go back first and get some ointment from Physician Lin."

"Oh." Rong Qingqing quickly responded and walked up to Emperor Zhaojing. "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Go ahead." Emperor Zhaojing had some doubts about why Xingxiu had been so nervous just now, but seeing her open and honest eyes, his doubts were dispelled.

Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

After Rong Qingqing left, Emperor Zhaojing looked at Xie Jingrun with a scrutinizing gaze.

Xie Jingrun's gaze was open and honest, allowing him to scrutinize him.

Unable to discern anything, Emperor Zhaojing frowned and could only remind him, "Xingxiu, although I also think Rong Qingqing is a pretty good girl, your identities are awkward after all. Don't make a mistake and do something you'll regret."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have never done anything I regret. I have never done anything like this before, and I will never do it again," Xie Jingrun said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaojing was relieved.

However, he misunderstood Xie Jingrun's meaning.

He said he had never done anything he regretted, meaning that once he did something, he wouldn't regret it.

"By the way, are you satisfied with the two beauties I bestowed upon you last night?" Emperor Zhaojing remembered something and asked.

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun's handsome face darkened. "Your Majesty, I do not like it. Please do not do such things again."

Emperor Zhaojing choked for a moment, seeing his sour face, he felt very uncomfortable. Did he think he wanted to meddle in his bedroom affairs? If this kid wasn't so clueless, why would he bother with all this?

"Since you don't like it, then forget it. Don't force yourself. When we get back, I'll have Haifu find a few more, or I can let you take a look first."

Xie Jingrun frowned, "Your Majesty, I will not..."

"Step down, I'm tired." Emperor Zhaojing waved his hand, interrupting him.

Xie Jingrun had no choice but to leave.

After leaving Long Qianju, he did not go directly back to his courtyard, but went to the residence of Physician Lin.

He asked around and learned that Rong Qingqing hadn't come to get the medicine. He frowned and had Physician Lin give him some medicine to apply to burns.

At this moment, Rong Qingqing had already returned to the courtyard. Just as she was about to enter her own room, she saw two beautiful women coming out of Xie Jingxuan's room across the street.

She was stunned.

Why would there be a woman in Xie Jingxuan's house?

Xie Jingxuan didn't bring any women with him when he came to Jiulong Mountain.

Just as they were wondering, Xie Jingxuan walked out from behind the two women with a satisfied look on his face.

Something flashed through her mind very quickly, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

So, the sound she heard last night came from Xie Jingxuan's room?

Those two women...
