Seeing Su Yan looking conflicted, Xuan Yuan Yong Hao pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking.

"Is it because you find it a bit inconvenient, and you want to give it to me when you return to your bedchamber after the banquet?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately nodded.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave now."

As soon as she left, Xuanyuan Yonghao grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

This time, he simply hugged her tightly, completely ignoring the people standing two meters away.

Xuanyuan Yonghao gently bit her fair earlobe.

For some reason, his tone lowered.

"Don't worry, if I'm not satisfied, I won't ask you for money."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears.

"really?"

These words immediately gained energy and spirit.

Xuanyuan Yonghao smiled and rested his head on her shoulder.

"You can repay it with something else."

Su Yan was momentarily stunned. Anything else?

"For example?"

"For example, wash yourself clean and voluntarily lie down on my bed."

He no longer concealed his desires; after all these days of going around in circles, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Su Yan didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but Xiao Hua got excited.

"Ahhh! I'm so embarrassed!"

Xuanyuan Yonghao moved even closer to her, nuzzling and kissing her cheek, his voice low and husky.

"Are you willing?"

A blatant seduction, it has to come to a conclusion.

His gaze was so intense and piercing that Su Yan instinctively flinched away.

"This servant needs to think about it."

Her gentle tone.

To Xuanyuan Yonghao, this was already quite good.

The smile on his lips deepened.

Okay, I'll let you consider taking the test.

After their ambiguous entanglement ended, he finally let Su Yan go.

Su Yan touched her cheeks, and for some reason, they were a little redder than before.

She left along the path she had come from, just as she was about to step onto the small path.

General Lin Liqiang and Prime Minister Zhao Ziyan walked towards us.

Upon seeing Su Yan, Lin Liqiang knew that His Highness must have just spent a romantic time with this maid.

He even neglected important matters for the sake of a woman.

Lin Liqiang suddenly snorted.

Su Yan stopped and subconsciously looked up.

I heard Lin Liqiang talking to someone, and his voice was stern and forceful.

"Women ruin the country"

After Su Yan left, Zhao Ziyan shook his head with a smile, his tone gentle.

Why do you have to make things difficult for her?

Lin Liqiang shook his head

"How could I possibly hold a grudge against a woman? I simply do not wish for Your Highness to let personal feelings interfere with important matters."

He paused, then continued...

"Furthermore, her identity is suspicious; she may have been sent by the enemy to carry out a honey trap."

Judging from Lin Liqiang's expression, Zhao Ziyan knew he probably wouldn't listen to anything he said.

He didn't say anything more, but just shook his head and smiled.

The two then walked towards the pool.

The night was pitch black, the moon shone brightly, it was a beautiful autumn night.

Su Yan walked along the path, and as if remembering something, she took out the black box from her sleeve, hid in the shadows of the bushes, and whispered...

"Don't forget our promise."

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle"

Hearing the echo, Su Yan felt relieved. After thinking for a moment, she threw away the box, took out the light yellow pill, and put it in her sleeve.

Only after all this was done did they continue back along the same route they had come from.

At the banquet, officials, ministers, princes and princesses arrived one after another.

Xuanyuan Yonghao, along with the general and the prime minister, entered the banquet one after the other.
