As night deepened, in the sleeping quarters of the Moon-Embracing Pavilion, Lianxing felt unbearably hot all over, and a strong sense of emptiness and longing surged through her body.

She tugged at her clothes in frustration, looking at herself in the bronze mirror. Her reflection was radiant, her eyes sparkling, exuding a captivating charm, even more alluring than usual. A strange flutter stirred within her, and an uncontrollable image of a strong, heroic figure surfaced in her mind—Zhao Zheng!

Almost as if by magic, she dismissed all the palace servants, leaving only a trusted maid to guard outside the hall, and asked her to secretly summon Zhao Zheng, saying that she had "important matters" to discuss.

Zhao Zheng was also in a strange state of excitement. The alcohol mixed with the effects of the "Drunken Dream Inducer" made his blood boil, and everything before his eyes was shrouded in a hazy and alluring glow. Upon receiving the "secret summons" from Lianxing's trusted palace maid, the wicked thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart for so long suddenly ignited like wildfire! Almost without hesitation, he used the cover of a patrol to slip into Lianxing's bedchamber with practiced ease.

The palace doors closed, isolating them from the outside world. In the dim candlelight, Lianxing wore only a thin, gossamer-thin nightgown, her graceful figure partially revealed, her eyes hazy, exuding a captivating allure. Zhao Zheng's last shred of reason was instantly overwhelmed by the drug and lust! He roared and pounced on her like a hungry wolf, pulling the beauty tightly into his arms!

"My darling... I've missed you so much... Come here and let me kiss you..." Zhao Zheng panted heavily, his burning lips landing haphazardly on Lianxing's cheeks and neck, his large hands roughly tearing at her nightgown.

"Mmm... Zhao Lang... be gentle..." Lianxing not only did not resist, but instead coiled around him like a water snake, responding passionately. The drug made her completely mistake this rough man in front of her for the gentle shadow of the young and strong "Xi Lingche" she longed for! She offered her red lips, and the two of them were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, instantly rolling down on the thick carpet, their clothes disheveled, their breaths mingling.

The drug took full effect! Under the intense surge of lust, the two fell into a delirious and frenzied state, speaking without restraint!

"Zhao Lang...you're so amazing...a hundred times better than that old bastard..." Lianxing's eyes were filled with seductive allure as she breathed heavily, her voice carrying extreme pleasure and a hint of resentment. "That old good-for-nothing...he took so many drugs...and still couldn't satisfy me...and he's always clinging to me...it's so annoying..."

"You little vixen... I... I've been holding back for so long... Today I'm going to kill you..." Zhao Zheng panted heavily, his movements becoming even wilder. "Wait... wait until our big event is accomplished... I... I'll make you my imperial concubine... and I'll have my way with you every day..."

"A big deal?" Lianxing giggled intermittently amidst her confusion. "It's just...waiting for that old bastard...to be driven to death by us...or...finding an opportunity..." She made a throat-slitting gesture, her eyes filled with madness. "Empress Lin...that stupid woman...thought...that I was her weapon...haha...once I'm pregnant with your child...and then I'll say I'm that old bastard's posthumous child...this Western Ling kingdom...will be ours!"

"Yes! Yes! They're all... all ours!" Zhao Feng roared excitedly. "I... I've wanted to kill that old bastard for ages! If it weren't for... if it weren't for you... I wouldn't have served you..."
