The girl leaned forward and kissed him, the moonlight making her face look white and smooth.

It's not a superficial taste, but a deep and steady approach.

Yan Shang: “Well…”

He was so stiff that he dared not move. He leaned his head against the wall, and his brain seemed to have exploded. He could not think, and his mind was blank. He did not know what was going on.

She was so warm, mellow, and beautiful. Like sweet syrup, she flowed into his limbs and invaded his heart and lungs. She made his breath hot, his body numb, and his spirit involuntarily excited.

But is this a punishment? Isn't this a reward?

Yan Shang was confused, blushing, wondering how this could be a punishment. He had thought that he had not kissed her well, she had lost interest in him, she did not want to kiss him again... However, such sweetness still came to him, she came back again.

Not just leaning in for a kiss.

Yan Shang was stiff, and Mu Wanyao put her hand on his shoulder. She probably felt that leaning over was too tiring, so she lifted her skirt and sat on his lap, in his arms.

The two of them exchanged breaths in the darkness. Her fingers were still a little cold, pinching his chin. She was soft and amiable, sitting in his arms, she lowered her eyes and looked into his raised eyes. She saw that the skin under his eyes was already red, and when she brushed her fingers over it, it was burning.

He felt his legs go stiff.

Because she had never been so close to him.

Mu Wanyao smiled silently, as if mocking his incompetence.

Yan Shang trembled, and under her teasing gaze, he opened his mouth and put out his tongue. His heart was beating like a drum, and he was not repulsive, just wanting to get closer... However, the tip of his tongue only touched once, and Mu Wan stopped.

He leaned forward to follow her, but she kept backing away, not wanting him to touch her beautiful lips.

Yan Shang looked at her in surprise.

Mu Wanyao still sat on his lap intimately, stretched out her finger to hook his face, and said with a smile: "If you move, this is a benefit, how can it be a punishment?"

Yan Shang: “…”

He was so smart that when he met her malicious and teasing gaze, he immediately understood what she meant.

Yan Shang whispered: "Only you are allowed to take the initiative, and I am not allowed to respond?"

Mu Wan shook his head lazily: "Hmm."

Yan Shang frowned, and then he realized how hateful she was. Not letting him respond, this was indeed torture... Yan Shang turned his head: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Mu Wan shook his head: "Tsk."

She lowered her head and kissed his eyebrow. Seeing his eyelashes tremble slightly, she couldn't help but kissed his eyelashes again. Yan Shang looked up at her patiently. Mu Wan shook her head lazily: "Respect yourself? Why didn't you tell me to respect myself just now? Now you remember it?"

He pushed her, his face flushed: "I was wrong just now, now you..."

Mu Wanyao didn't do as he wished. Seeing his mouth opening and closing as if he was about to say something she didn't want to hear, she leaned over again and kissed him on the lips.

Yan Shang tilted his head back, his neck exposed, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly. Mu Wan's cold hand followed his Adam's apple downwards, circling and circling. It was aimless like a little snake, and it was like a feather. It made his white jade skin turn red, and the red color spread into his collar, and the collar of his shirt could no longer block her.

Yan Shang couldn't help but put his hand on her waist.

She was innocent again.

She looked down at him with a half-smile.

Yan Shang's breath was completely disordered. He looked at Mu Wanyao with some annoyance, secretly hating himself for not having enough self-control. She was carelessly provoking him, watching him indifferently as he showed his miserable appearance... She teased him, mocked him, and tortured him.

Yan Shang used all his strength to remove his hand from her waist.

He thought absentmindedly that he had never been able to properly touch her waist, or hug her anywhere other than her back... He closed his eyes, calmed his breathing, and his breath was no longer so impatient.

He whispered, "Don't do this, Your Highness."

Mu Wan smiled nonchalantly, and her eyes were bright. Seeing that he was unable to do it, she couldn't help but get excited.

Seeing the young man who aimed to become a saint showing such an unbearable expression because of her, seeing that he couldn't help but want to respond again and again, but every time she stopped, it was a torture for him... He finally tensed his muscles, put his hands on her shoulders and was about to push her down.

Mu Wanyao said, "What do you want to do? This is a prison. Do you want to start with me like this?"

Yan Shang panted, his eyes slightly red: "Then what do you want to do?"

Mu Wan shook her head and stared at him: "If you push me, you will be committing treason! My servants are waiting outside. I will shout and they will come in and take you down."

Yan Shang looked at her in disbelief.

Mu Wanyao leaned over and kissed him again, whispering into his lips: "You reject me, which is also a violation of your authority. I will let Guard Fang come in and see how you treat Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Yan Shang: "You...ah."

He suddenly felt extremely ashamed that he was completely moved by her. So he once again reflected on whether he was too shameless towards women. In his heart, he silently thought of the beauty's withered bones and the emptiness of the four elements.

Mu Wan shook: "..."

She stared with wide eyes, she was really a little angry at him. The sweat on his face, the wetness on his temples, his tense body, all seemed to be foreign objects under his strong will.

His inability to respond was torture in the first place, and now that he was controlling her like this...what else was she playing at?

Playing with a corpse?

Mu Wan shook her eyes lightly and smiled silently.

When Yan Shang was silently telling himself not to be influenced by Mu Wanyao, he suddenly heard Mu Wanyao's somewhat cold voice: "Chunhua is leaving me."

Yan Shang was startled, his heart quieted for a moment, he stopped reflecting, opened his eyes and looked at the princess sitting in his arms.

Mu Wan lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "I don't know if you know that I asked Fang Tong to go back to the princess's mansion to get a pregnancy-preserving medicine for Chunhua. Third brother played a trick on me and wanted me to form an alliance with fifth brother and alienate the prince.

"Of course I refused. So I followed your wishes and went to get rid of the powerful. But Chunhua can't come back. Because she is a chess piece that must be sacrificed. She must enter the Fifth Brother's house and must make me and the Fifth Brother related to each other in some way.

"They all planned very well. I fought back and made their plan fail. They didn't expect that I would really give up Zheng. They didn't expect that even though Chunhua entered the house of the fifth brother, I would still rely on the tactic of giving up the powerful and not being alienated from the prince. However, no matter what, I have lost Chunhua."

Yan Shang looked at her.

He raised his arms and hugged her.

He was different from her. Her embrace was teasing, but his embrace was warm and comforting. His clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy, but when he hugged her and held her tightly in his arms, Mu Wanyao could still feel his love for her.

Yan Shang said softly: "Don't be sad."

Mu Wan buried her face in his neck, staring at his Adam's apple without blinking, but she spoke nonchalantly as if she was chatting with him: "Chunhua is pregnant with Fifth Brother's child. She can't come back. She can't marry the person she wants to marry, and she can't be my maid anymore.

"Of the people who came back from Wuman, Chunhua is the only maidservant who survived. She is leaving now... I have nothing left."

Yan Shang hugged her tightly, and he said softly again: "Don't be sad."

Mu Wan curled the corners of her lips slightly. This time, when her hand slid into his collar, she felt him stiffen for a moment, but he did not hide again.

Mu Wan shook her head and sighed.

She thought that Yan Erlang, who was like a saint, was planning to sacrifice his looks to comfort her.

-----

She placed her hand on his abdomen, and Yan Shang held her hand through a thin layer of shirt.

He closed his eyes, his chin resting on her shoulder, his face was covered in sweat, and his neck and cheeks were red.

He trembled: "That's enough... Your Highness, please don't continue."

Don't shake it in the evening.

She put her hand close to his ear, bit it gently, and said with a smile: "Why are you so repulsive? I helped you like this the night my aunt bullied you."

Yan Shang’s brain buzzed.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her. Mu Wan shook her head but didn't look at him, her hands still wandering and her lips still touching her ears.

She slowly described what happened that night in his ear: "You fell down in the alley, but I brought you back to the princess's mansion. You are such a fool, thinking that the imperial physician can make you better with two injections? Humph, without me, how can you get better?"

The aroma lingered in his heart: "You are so stupid. I thought you would always remember it, but I didn't expect you never thought about it. You are so smart, but you can't think of such a thing... Don't you think it's ridiculous?

"Yan Shang, Yan Shang... Brother Yan," she kissed him tenderly, hugged his shoulders, and laughed and blushed, "Don't you ever relieve yourself? That night when I shared the same bed with you, you actually said don't worry about it and wait for it to heal on its own. Oh my God, Brother Yan, why are you so stupid? Do you really not know what is going on between men and women?"

She raised her head, gently touched his chin with her tongue, and smiled: "Am I the first one to kiss you? Am I the first one to hug you? Am I the first girl... to do this for you?"

Yan Shang grabbed her wrist.

His nerves were nearly broken, and he was in a state of confusion. He felt both happy and uncomfortable, as if he were to feel the heat and cold. He had to endure it, because if he responded, she would stop.

She was so hateful. She hung him in the air, unable to go up or down... He closed his eyes and frowned, looking extremely embarrassed: "You are so bad... You can't do this... It's too dirty, too dirty, stop it! Shake it!"

And it has come to this.

How could she stop just because he said "shake"?

She giggled in his arms, blushing and rubbing her hands. Her eyes rolled down, and Yan Shang held her head down. This was his final bottom line: "Don't look... Don't look!"

Fool.

Mu Wan thought to herself.

Seeing how distressed he was, she described to him what happened that night in even more vivid and emotional terms.

-----

Then Yan Shang's mind, uncontrollably, seemed to really remember what had happened, and it coincided with the scene before him.

But that night he was lying unconscious on the bed, and this time she was the one sitting in his arms in a mischievous way.

But it's all him.

It's all her.

She stretched out her hand, opened her eyes, and hooked her jade-white slender fingers on his sweat. She was like a naughty little fish, diving into his arms...

Suddenly, footsteps were heard and Yan Shang froze.

In the cell, he heard voices not far away -

Fang Tong: "What are you doing?"

The jailer said, "Please forgive me, sir. I am here to bring dinner to Yan Erlang."

Fang Tong was suspicious: "Why are you delivering food in the middle of the night? Did you poison it?"

The jailer was almost crying with fear: "No, no! This is what Yan Erlang and I agreed on..."

The sound of the two people's conversation came from not far away. Mu Wanyao was stunned for a moment, but found that Yan Shang's whole body was stiff, and then he groaned and fell back against the wall.

He closed his eyes, his eyelashes were covered with mist, his face was red and white, and he coughed twice.

Mu Wan shook her head, looked down at her hands and smiled slightly.

-----

Fang Tong took the jailer away and naturally would not let anyone disturb the princess.

However, Yan Shang was also frightened and ended up dying.

He coughed for a while before he recovered, and his expression became even more embarrassed.

He was left with marks, and when he opened his eyes and saw Mu Wan shaking his hand, his face turned even redder... He wanted to give her a handkerchief, but then he remembered that he was in prison now, so where would he get a soft handkerchief?

Yan Shang was embarrassed: "Your Highness...didn't you bring a handkerchief?"

Mu Wan glanced at him, slowly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped her hands. Yan Shang was relieved to see that she had a handkerchief.

Mu Wanyao smiled and said, "Why are you worrying about me? My clothes are neat, my temples are not messy, there is not a single trace of dirt from head to toe. And what about you?"

She glanced down, scanning his waist and abdomen. He awkwardly covered his face with the mattress. Mu Wan shook her head and mocked, "What about the marks on your body? How are you going to explain it to others? Tell them tomorrow that you slept well and the prison environment is so bad, but it can't stop you from having erotic dreams?"

Yan Shang felt embarrassed and glared at her slightly.

After a while, he said, "I will naturally find a way."

Mu Wan lowered her head and observed him, seeing sweat on his forehead and his lips tightly pursed, but that could not hide the red marks from her lip balm on his face.

He acted calm and composed, but she was sitting on his lap, and she could feel him stiffen again without even moving.

Mu Wanyao teased, "Why, did I humiliate you? In your eyes, am I the aunt who humiliated you that night? In your eyes, am I as hateful as your aunt?"

He lowered his eyes but shook his head slightly.

Mu Wan was stunned for a moment.

He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her. His whole body was numb and a little painful, but he still spoke softly: "This is not a humiliation. You are not your aunt."

Mu Wan shook her head coldly: "Why not? Is it because I am younger and prettier than her?"

Yan Shang: "Because I have you in my heart."

Mu Wan shook: "..."

He raised his eyes and looked at her.

He said softly, "You are angry that I don't obey your orders, but you refused to see me for several days and refused to leave me a word. My heart is broken by you. You shouldn't treat me like this. If I did something wrong, you should tell me instead of leaving without saying goodbye.

"And now, and now...you tease me like this again."

He frowned in confusion: "Does this make you feel better?"

At dusk, I sway in silence.

Would this help her calm down?

Even at this time, he spoke to her gently. She clearly told him not to move, but he endured it. He let her do whatever she wanted for so long... She just used Chunhua to make him feel uncomfortable. He didn't want to do it at first, but he finally let her do it.

He is such a good person.

When Mu Wan came to her senses, she saw him looking at her.

Miao Yingying's eyes met in mid-air, and Mu Wanyao began to feel shy as if he was slow to react. When she blushed, he blushed too and looked away.

Mu Wanyao tried to hold back her laughter. Seeing him so embarrassed, her anger towards him suddenly dissipated.

Mu Wanyao chuckled: "This really makes me feel better. I don't blame you for killing the head of the Zheng family."

Yan Shang lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye, and said after a while: "...That's good."

Mu Wan shook her head and stood up, no longer sitting on his lap.

She took two steps back and, as she said, Yan Shang's clothes were disheveled, and he hadn't touched her at all from beginning to end. While she was impressed by his forbearance, Mu Wanyao was also happy about the evil she had done to him tonight.

But Mu Wanyao said: "Whatever happened tonight does not mean that my attitude towards you has changed."

Yan Shang was slightly stunned.

Said: "Why are you still mad at me?"

Mu Wanyao meant that his detailed plans for their future still scared her, but Yan Shang didn't know what exactly she disliked.

She was like a mystery to him.

He could never guess what she was thinking. Every time he made a plan for her, she would disrupt it, leaving him wondering what to do next... Now Yan Shang looked at her blankly, not knowing what was going on between them.

Mu Wanyao didn't answer him. She tortured him for a while, then left the prison, leaving him alone. When she couldn't see Yan Shang anymore, Mu Wanyao blushed, covered her pounding heart, and felt extremely happy.

He is indeed very different when he is unconscious and when he is awake.

She really likes it.

-----

At this time, the lights in the East Palace were on late at night.

The prince was still handling official business, while Yang Size sat cross-legged beside him, wiping a knife with great care.

The prince said, "I asked you to meet Prime Minister Liu and ask him what he thought of Yan Erlang. What did Prime Minister Liu say?"

Yang Si said nonchalantly: "He admires Yan Er very much."

The prince nodded: "Then when the trial result comes out tomorrow, Yan Erlang should be able to be released from prison."

Yang Si still didn't care: "Hmm."

The prince sat at his desk, thinking quietly for a while, then suddenly looked up at Yang Si who was wiping his knife. He said slowly, "Tomorrow you go there in person and invite Yan Suchen to a banquet at your house to celebrate his release from prison."

Yang Si: “Ah?”

He looked up at the prince.

The prince smiled slightly: "During this period, you have been running around for Yan Erlang's affairs. You go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice every day to see Yan Erlang because you are afraid that someone in the Ministry of Justice will abuse Yan Erlang. As long as Yan Suchen still wants to stay in the officialdom, he will definitely be grateful to you for your concern for him.

"Please hold a banquet at your house, and I will go there to meet Yan Erlang. Your actions represent me. In Yan Erlang's eyes, I should be taking care of him..."

Yang Si said coldly: "You mean to buy Yan Erlang's heart? You didn't stop me from doing what I did these days, just to buy Yan Erlang's heart?"

The prince asked, "What else? You go to the Ministry of Justice and make a scene every day. Do you think I really can't see it? If I hadn't indulged you, would you have gone there?"

The prince said, "I have figured out this matter. At the Qujiang Banquet that day, Yan Suchen said something about not having read enough books. Whether he really hadn't read many books or he had read but was just trying to fool me, I really misjudged him. I thought he was just trying to coax Princess Luling to change her ability to be the third place in the imperial examination. Now it seems that he has become famous with one arrow... I no longer believe that he shot that arrow carelessly out of passion.

"If I can't use this kind of person, I have to destroy him. I naturally don't want to destroy him, so I'm looking for talent."

Yang Si stood up, his eyes cold, and said: "But he is Yaoyao's retainer. He helps Yaoyao, and Yaoyao helps you, isn't it the same principle? Why do you have to take him away from Yaoyao?"

The prince glanced at Yang Si and smiled, "After all, there is a sixth sister between us. People's hearts are separated by their stomachs, so we must be on guard.

"Besides, you also said that Liu Xianggong admires him very much. Liu Xianggong is from the Secretariat, and I can't get involved in the Secretariat. If I can't arrange an official position for Yan Er by my side, he might be snatched away by the Secretariat. The Secretariat is of course good... But if Yan Suchen is really devoted to me, then it's good for him to go to the Secretariat. If he is not devoted to me, I don't like him to go to the Secretariat.

"The Secretariat is responsible for all court affairs. I only want to let my people enter the Secretariat."

Yang Si looked at the prince for a long time.

He said, "I will not hold a banquet tomorrow, I will not invite Yan Erlang, and I will not help you snatch someone away from Yaoyao."

The prince's eyes suddenly turned cold and he looked at him.

After a while, the prince's tone became gentler and he said, "Sanlang, don't mess around."

Yang Si: "There are not many people around Yaoyao who can be used. Anyone who has talent will be snatched away by you. Since you want to use Yaoyao, why do you always force her like this? It sounds good to recruit talents and punish the powerful. When have you ever cared whether the powerful will bring harm to the people? You never care. You only care about politics and whether it is good for you!

"If it's good for you, you'll take action. If it's not good for you, and refugees break into Chang'an, I don't think you'll even blink an eye."

Prince: "Is this the first day you met me?"

He smiled sarcastically: "Why, you don't like me now?"

After looking at Yang Sanlang, the prince suddenly became furious and threw all the folding lamps on the desk down.

The huge commotion in the study scared the Crown Princess and others who were outside bringing in midnight snacks. They heard the Crown Prince's angry voice in the study: "You think my methods are insidious! If it weren't for my methods, do you think that with your high-profile behavior, there would be people in Chang'an who can protect you? You can do whatever you want, I'm not covering it for you... Who do you think gave you the ability? Was it the Yang family?! Did the Yang family treat you with half the care that I spent on you?!

"You've grown too powerful and look down on my methods... You, Yang Sanlang, are honest and upright! I gave you your honesty!"

The Crown Princess was trembling outside, and the maids behind her were so scared that they could hardly hold the plates in their hands. The Crown Prince rarely got so angry, and he was actually arguing with Yang Sanlang...

Yang Si’s voice came from the study: “I have never disliked you or said anything bad about you! Of course I know it’s not easy for you, and of course I know that everything I have today is due to your protection. So I support you in everything you do, and I will help you with whatever you want... I am the knife in your hand! I will go through life and death for your ideals!

"But you can't treat Yaoyao like this! Didn't I tell you all about how you treated Yaoyao before? I just want you not to go too far... At least leave her some ability to protect herself, and leave her someone she can use! At least when you want to abandon her one day, she won't become a prey to be slaughtered!

"I'll listen to you in everything! I just don't want to listen to you this time!"

The prince was angry: "Get out of here!"

The next moment, the Crown Princess and others standing outside the study were horrified to see the door of the study opened. The Crown Princess saw Yang Sanlang rushing out angrily, and when he saw her, Yang Si was stunned for a moment. Yang Si wanted to say hello to the Crown Princess, but his lips trembled and he didn't say anything. Instead, he put on his shoes and left.

Crown Princess: "Sanlang, Sanlang..."

The Crown Princess couldn't stop Yang Sanlang, so she trembled and went into the study to see the Crown Prince. She saw the young man standing in the middle of the room, with books and papers scattered all over the floor, and cups, candles and other things also fell over. The curtains were flying, and the Crown Prince looked very unhappy.

Turning back, the prince looked at the crown princess.

The Crown Princess whispered, "Are you just going to let Yang Sanlang go like this?"

The prince had a blank expression on his face.

The Crown Princess said: "The palace gate is closed. He seemed to have left with a knife just now and forgot to take his badge. He probably can't leave the palace..."

The prince closed his eyes patiently.

Finally, he said in a hoarse voice: "...Send the badge to that idiot!"

-----

When Yang Si left the East Palace and was walking outside, he remembered that he had forgotten his badge. But he was angry and didn't want to go back and face the prince's cold eyes.

Fortunately, he only lingered at the palace gate for a while before someone from the East Palace came to deliver a badge.

Yang Si saw that the eunuch who delivered the badge looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitant, but he ignored him, took the badge and left the palace, making the eunuch behind him sigh.

After leaving the palace, Yang Si originally planned to go back home directly, but he did not expect that when he passed by the Shangshu Province, he saw a familiar figure at the door of the prison.

The girl was escorted by the guards into the carriage and wrapped herself tightly.

But how well did Yang Si know her?

He recognized it as Mu Wanyao at a glance.

Yang Si was slightly startled, wondering why she came here?

Looking in the direction of the prison, Yang Si seemed to be thinking: Could it be that she was going to see Yan Shang?

Hmm...her behavior is unusual.

-----

The next day, the result of the three-court trial came out, and Yan Shang was released on the spot. Everyone in the court congratulated him on his freedom.

However, the person sent by the Dali Temple today was an unfamiliar official, not the Yang Sanlang that Yan Shang was familiar with, which made Yan Shang think about what had happened.

As soon as Yan Shang left the Secretariat and the Imperial City, he was surrounded by students and common people who were waiting outside.

While he was dealing with these people, he suddenly saw a young man in a red robe passing by from the corner.

It’s Yang Si.

He saw Yang Si walking towards a carriage parked on the side of the road.

Yan Shang was just about to say hello when he saw Yang Si knock on the carriage, and the door opened, revealing the face of the person inside.

Yan Shang was stunned. Although it was only a glance, he had been tormented by this person last night... It was Mu Wanyao.

He suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Want Mu Wanyao and Yang Si to meet secretly?

Why?

-----

Mu Wanyao sat quietly in the carriage, and in order to avoid being recognized, she changed into a maid's clothes.

She was waiting here because she wanted to see Yan Shang when he passed by, or tease him. She should be in the summer resort at this time, so it was not convenient for her to appear here.

But...Yan Shang is out of prison.

She still wanted to see him first.

And scare him.

She was sitting in the car with her chin in her hand, thinking and laughing to herself, when someone knocked on the car wall twice from outside.

The next moment the car door opened, but it was not a familiar person, but Yang Si who jumped into the car.

Mu Wan shook: "..."

Yang Si closed the car door, sat next to her, looked at her leisurely, and suddenly laughed jokingly: "Why do you look like that when you see me? Why, you came to wait for Yan Er but waited for me instead, are you unhappy?"

He said, "Do you like Yan Er? Do you want to marry him?"

Mu Wanyao's expression faded and he looked away: "Are you here to teach me that I shouldn't like him and should keep my distance from him?"

Yang Si stared at her.

After a long while, he said self-deprecatingly: "Do you look at me like this? I wish you had a man you like, someone you want to marry. I wish you could be happy, Yaoyao."
