Chapter 190 The Heir Apparent of the Earl's Mansion 13

Ning Yan was quickly led to the palace at the back, and to be honest, she had never been there before.

The room was decorated with pleasant incense and the furnishings were quite elegant.

After the maid in pink brought the man over, she said, "My lord, please rest for a while. I'll go see if that eunuch has returned yet, so I can guide him."

Ning Yan nodded, and the palace maid left immediately.

They also closed the door behind them.

Ning Yan sat on the stool and waited, but as she waited, she began to feel sleepy.

The person leaned against it and actually fell asleep.

In a hazy state, I heard the door being pushed open and someone bringing something in. After that person left, someone else carried something in. The thing started whimpering after being placed on the bed. Just as the two people were about to move her onto the bed, I heard two loud bangs.

The candlelight flickered a few times.

Ning Yan finally opened her eyes, and the guards stood in front of her.

"Lord Ning, come with me quickly! Something has happened to the Emperor!"

Before Ning Yan could even speak, the guards grabbed her arm and ran towards Yangji Palace, even carrying her into the air.

Inside the hall, Si Xi's anxious expression immediately relaxed when he saw her appear. "Lord Ning, the Emperor has been drugged. Please go in and take a look. The Emperor has dismissed all the servants. He was just calling your name!"

Ning Yan asked anxiously, "Have they called the imperial physician?"

"I've called, I've called, the imperial physician should be here soon."

Ning Yan: "Then I'll go take a look first."

She rushed into the inner room, but before she could even see what was inside, she was embraced.

"My dear minister, you've finally arrived..."

Good heavens, this man immediately grabbed her and carried her to the dragon bed, quickly tearing off her wine-stained outer robe.

Ning Yan gritted her teeth and reached out to grasp his groping hand. "The imperial physician will be here soon."

"I can't wait any longer!"

Seeing that he was about to pull down her pants again, Ning Yan had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, please turn off the lights, and the bed curtains should be drawn..."

"Okay, put it down, but don't let anyone see it!"

Surprisingly, he was quite obedient at this time.

Soon the room darkened and the bed curtains were drawn.

To avoid exposing too much of herself, Ning Yan took the initiative to remove Xiao Li's clothes, but kept her own top on. The bed was pitch black, and only heavy breathing could be heard...

Ning Yan cursed the person who drugged the Emperor countless times. Was she afraid the Emperor wouldn't get up? She cursed again and again, endlessly.

Outside the palace gate.

Si Xi, holding a whisk, listened to the sounds inside, unsure whether to be happy or worried.

Looking at the imperial physician Si Xi in front of him, he said, "I would like to trouble you, Physician Wang, to rest here tonight. The Emperor may summon you at any time. Xiao Weizi, please lead the way for Physician Wang."

Physician Wang cupped his hands in greeting and left with Xiao Weizi.

He wasn't stupid; he knew that someone inside must already be serving the emperor, but he just didn't know who it was.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is done by a concubine who wants to sleep with the emperor. The drug used won't have any side effects, and the emperor won't be in any danger.

At most, the medicine will be more potent; he can just prescribe some tonics.

After dismissing Imperial Physician Wang, Sixi summoned all the palace servants together. "Not a single word of what happened in the Yangji Palace today is to be uttered, or I won't hesitate to take you all to the Criminal Division."

After saying that, he felt that his words were somewhat wasted. In any case, the gossip about the Emperor and Lord Ning had been going on for three years, and now that the rumors had come true, it seemed that there was little point in keeping quiet.

"Alright, everyone go down and do your jobs. Prepare hot water."

In the bedchamber, Xiao Li struggled for a full five times before finally regaining his senses.

Ning Yan quickly put on her pants and, enduring the soreness in her body, knelt at the foot of the bed without saying a word.

It was too dark in the bed for Xiao Li to see her expression clearly, but he still remembered the comfortable touch when their skin touched. His heart burned with desire, and his body felt restless again.

"Are you blaming me?" The voice was so hoarse that if it weren't for the fact that it was late at night and all was quiet, probably no one would have heard it.

"Your subject dares not!"

I dare not, not that I can't!

He sat up naked and reached out to pull the person away. "That means you don't want to serve me. Otherwise, why are you kneeling there?"

Ning Yan was pulled by him and fell directly into Xiao Li's arms. She tried to back away, but Xiao Li held her firmly, one hand around her waist and the other pressing down on her head, completely holding Ning Yan in his arms.

At that moment, his heart finally calmed down. "I know you may not be able to accept two men being together, but I will not let go."

"You and your concubine did not consummate your marriage, which is why I allowed her to exist."

The implication is that if they really sleep with her, they'll kill Cuizhu.

A threat, a blatant threat!

"I will treat you well from now on."

Ning Yan: "Your Majesty..."

Afraid of being rejected, Xiao Li kissed the person in his arms directly. During the kiss, his hand accidentally touched Ning Yan's breasts. He felt that the touch was strange, but he was too embarrassed to ask. After all, she clearly did not want to be with him, so he could only keep his thoughts to himself.

Xiao Li's birth mother was a minor concubine in the palace. After becoming pregnant with him, she was framed and thrown into the cold palace.

Xiao Li lived in the Cold Palace until he was ten years old. When he was ten, his mother died of illness, and the late emperor took him out of the palace. Apart from arranging two eunuchs to serve him and letting him study with the other princes, the emperor did nothing else for him.

Fourteenth Prince allowed him to leave the palace and build his own residence. Because he had no money, only a few old eunuchs served him in the Prince Ping's residence. He didn't even have a woman by his side, and he really knew very little about matters between men and women.

Therefore, even if he felt that the person in his arms had an excessively thin waist, excessively smooth skin, and excessively fragrant body, he did not have any doubts. He simply assumed that the person had been pampered since childhood, which was why he had grown up to be like this.

As for the unusual appearance before the incident, it was probably due to the chest muscles he had developed through special training.

Yes, the bra strap is tied tightly, and it does feel quite firm to the touch.

...

Outside the bedroom, Si Xi waited patiently until things quieted down inside, but could still faintly hear voices. He was about to arrange for someone to bring water in when the sounds inside changed again after a short while. He couldn't help but sigh to himself: "The Emperor is truly vigorous and powerful!"

The vigorous man looked helplessly at the person who was holding his shirt tightly, "Fine, fine, I won't take it off, okay?"

His hand moved down again, but it was pressed down once more. "Can't I even touch it?"

Ning Yan: Nonsense, wouldn't I know everything if I touched you?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Li gave in. Fine, he had forced her after all. If she didn't want him to touch her, he didn't want him to touch her. He could just let her do whatever she wanted.

Even though the person in his arms remained silent and followed many rules, Xiao Li was still infatuated. Half an hour later, he called for water and wanted to take Ning Yan to bathe, but Ning Yan refused to comply no matter what.

Xiao Li knew his habits; he never allowed anyone to serve him when he bathed, nor did he allow anyone else to watch.

He was actually quite satisfied; after all, they were his people, and he couldn't let them go to someone else.

But they're already like this, so what's wrong with him looking at them?
