Looking at the woman's pitiful face, Xie Jingrun glanced down at a certain spot, feeling a little regretful. It was clear that she really couldn't take it anymore, so he had no choice but to let go and release her.

As soon as Rong Qingqing was free, she quickly wrapped herself in the quilt and rolled to the inside of the bed.

My heart is still pounding.

Xie Jingrun possesses a wealth of assets that are completely at odds with his appearance, which is quite frightening...

She apologized for saying he wasn't good enough.

It's not that this man is incapable; she's just blind.

Moreover, it would be extremely dangerous for this man to get up.

Even now, her whole body aches, and her legs are weak and almost numb.

Fortunately, he still had some pity for her and didn't torment her any further.

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a man's low, husky voice behind her say, "Let's get you used to it today. Get some rest, and we'll come back tomorrow, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing's eyes snapped open. Her drowsiness vanished completely, and the hairs on her body stood on end. So, tonight's ordeal was just an appetizer.

This guy...

Thinking of his endless tricks, she felt a chill run down her spine and quickly closed her eyes, pretending not to have heard what he said.

Seeing that she was practically pressed against the wall, Xie Jingrun smiled, reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Rong Qingqing was on the verge of tears, and raised her hand to push him away, "With you holding me like this, I can't look up..."

"Your eyes are downcast, aren't they?" Xie Jingrun's voice was somewhat strange as he looked at her with a half-smile.

Rong Qingqing nodded, "Yes, so let go..."

"Let's do it again." Xie Jingrun said in a low, husky voice, his hand resting on her smooth, jade-like back.

A tingling sensation burrowed into her heart, causing Rong Qingqing to almost vomit blood.

"You just promised me that, have you forgotten?" she glared at him accusingly.

Xie Jingrun chuckled softly and suddenly pinched her, making her face turn bright red.

"If you don't go to sleep soon, I'm going to change my mind."

Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing quickly closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Jingrun's eyes lost their gloom and he looked at her with doting affection.

Although they didn't get to enjoy themselves to the fullest, they had plenty of time.

There is ample time!

...

The next day.

Rong Qingqing was still half asleep when Xiao Tao hurriedly came in and woke her up.

Rong Qingqing opened her sleepy eyes. "What's wrong?"

When Xiao Tao saw the red marks covering her shoulder where her clothes had slipped down, her eyes widened. She wondered, "How intense were the Emperor and the Empress last night?"

However, this was not the time to gossip. She composed herself and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is holding a flower banquet in the Imperial Garden. She requests your presence."

Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing immediately frowned.

"Did you only hire me?" The old woman had only been quiet for a few days, was she about to cause trouble again?

"I've inquired, and the Empress Dowager has invited the Seventh Princess and Princess Huaiyin. There shouldn't be anyone else," Xiao Tao replied.

Rong Qingqing rubbed her temples. "Okay, I'll go over after I've washed up."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao quickly fetched her clothes and helped her change.

After washing up, Rong Qingqing thought for a moment and decided to have breakfast first before slowly walking towards the Imperial Garden. However, at the entrance, she ran into Feng Xin, who was walking from the other side.

Rong Qingqing was somewhat surprised, "Why did you only just arrive?"

Feng Xin blinked. "I heard you woke up late, so I waited for you to come over together."

Rong Qingqing squeezed her hand, ignoring the sarcasm in her words, and said, "Then let's go in."

The girl was afraid that if she arrived late, the Empress Dowager would find an excuse to punish her, so she deliberately cooperated with her and came over together.

In this way, even if the Empress Dowager was unhappy, she couldn't punish both of them at the same time.
