Chapter 43 He had no experience, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Bai Yuanshan, the Minister of Revenue, was the maternal grandfather of the sixth prince, Qin Yan.

Yu Wang Qin Yan had a very good relationship with Qin Ye.

In her past life, after she died, she often saw Qin Yan coming to see Qin Ye. However, she was unsure when their relationship started to develop.

In any case, in the year or so since she married Qin Ye, she had never seen Qin Yan come to see her, and he hadn't come in the past two months either.

When did their relationship improve?

If things are going well right now, then Yun Si thinks that Bai Yuanshan, as Qin Yan's maternal grandfather, is unlikely to deliberately target Qin Ye.

Moreover, she remembered that Bai Yuanshan did indeed submit to Qin Ye later.

This network of relationships has nothing to do with the Empress and Prime Minister Jiang; it was developed by Qin Ye from Prince Yu, Qin Yan.

so……

Yun Si had doubts.

At this critical juncture, Bai Yuanshan, the Minister of Revenue, only allocated five thousand shi of grain to Qin Ye. This was not a deliberate act of targeting him, but rather a performance to cooperate with the plan.

Although he chose to support Qin Ye, he wouldn't show it directly, lest he put himself and his family in danger.

On the surface, he absolved himself of all responsibility.

That way, you won't become someone else's easy target.

He really is a cunning old fox.

Very cunning.

Yun Si sometimes admires herself.

Unexpectedly, after her rebirth, her mind seemed to have been blessed. She could guess and make sense of many things she didn't know.

With this in mind, Yun Si was no longer worried.

Qin Ye is a hundred times more cunning than she is; she has no reason to worry about him.

She should be worried about herself now.

Even though they were discussing such a serious topic, the man's hands never stopped moving.

Mu Ze stood to the side, looking slightly awkward.

He looked up at the roof.

Why is Your Highness not speaking and not letting him leave?

"Um... well... hey, Mr. Qu seems to be calling me. I'll go out and see."

Mu Ze turned and quickly fled.

He shook his head in disappointment.

Your Highness, you've been bewitched by Master Yun so quickly... no, by the Princess Consort. Back then, Your Highness deceived everyone.

The princess treated him so badly, she wanted him dead, yet he still couldn't bear to truly divorce her.

Hopefully, the princess is truly sincere towards His Highness this time.

Otherwise, no matter what His Highness says, he will definitely kill this woman.

A beautiful woman is a source of trouble; she will only slow down His Highness's speed in drawing his sword.

Seeing Mu Ze running faster than a rabbit, Yun Si also wanted to run.

After finishing their business, she sensed that the atmosphere was gradually becoming a little strange.

Qin Ye's gaze toward her grew increasingly dark and intense.

She's still in pain somewhere.

"Your Highness, please listen to me."

Yun Si tried to pull away from his embrace, but he suddenly tightened his arms, pressing her body against his chest.

The air became scorching hot.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

Didn't you shower during the day?

"Well... I haven't eaten yet."

Qin Ye looked at the table next to him.

There was an empty bowl on top.

You can still roughly tell that it should be a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Yun Si gave him a forced smile: "What I mean is, Your Highness, you haven't eaten yet?"

"Right now, I just want to..."

Qin Ye swept her up in his arms around the waist with one hand and carried her towards the bedroom without saying a word: "I'll eat you."

Yun Si: "..."

Once inside the room, she realized the man wasn't joking.

He's serious.

Qin Ye gently placed Yun Si on the bed and leaned down to kiss her.

His kiss was irresistibly forceful, his burning palms tracing the contours of her slender waist, causing Yun Si to tremble slightly.

"Hmm..."

Yun Si's body went limp from his kisses, but as her clothes were half off, she suddenly gasped and frowned.

Qin Ye immediately noticed her unusual behavior and paused, asking, "What's wrong?"

"without."

Yun Si turned her face away, her ear tips turning bright red: "It's nothing."

She was too embarrassed to say it.

Qin Ye seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes darkened.

He forcibly lifted her skirt.

When he saw that place, his pupils shrank and his face instantly turned ugly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were injured like this?"

His voice carried a hint of regret and self-reproach: "I'm sorry, I...didn't control my strength last night."

He has no experience.

But of course he wouldn't say those words out loud.

Yun Si bit her lip, not daring to look at him: "It's okay, I applied some medicine, it will be better in a couple of days."

Qin Ye took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging desire within him.

Where is the medicine?

Yun Si took it out from under her pillow and handed it to him.

He got up and gently applied the medicine to her.

When the cool ointment touched the wound, Yun Si involuntarily flinched.

"pain?"

Qin Ye's voice was terribly hoarse.

Yun Si shook her head, and seeing his taut jawline, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

This man, who appears indifferent and cold to outsiders, is now enduring so much for her sake.

After applying the medicine, Qin Ye suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.

Soon, the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Yun Si sat up wrapped in the quilt, listening to the continuous sound of cold water, feeling both distressed and amused.

She straightened her clothes and tiptoed out. Just as she reached the door, she saw Qin Ye striding back.

His shirt was wide open, revealing his muscular upper body.

His firm and toned abs are sculpted like they were carved with a knife, and his eight-pack abs rise and fall slightly with his breathing.

The water droplets that hadn't been wiped away meandered down the grooves of his muscles, slid across his waistline, and finally disappeared into his loose belt.

Yun Si unconsciously held her breath.

This wild and beautiful Qin Ye is completely different from the cold and aloof King Xiao of the past.

Amidst the misty air, he exuded a dangerous yet alluring aura.

Qin Ye met her gaze and chuckled softly, "Have you seen enough?"

Yun Si then realized that she had been staring blankly and hurriedly looked away.

But then he said jokingly, "It seems that the princess is quite satisfied with her husband's physique?"

After saying that, he took a few steps forward, picked Yun Si up again, and put her back on the bed, but only held her in his arms.

"sleep."

He gave the command with his eyes closed, his voice still carrying lingering lust.

Yun Si secretly raised her eyes and saw his furrowed brows and restrained expression. She couldn't help but reach out and smooth his brow: "If Your Highness is in pain..."

"Don't move."

Qin Ye grabbed her mischievous hand, his voice low and hoarse: "Otherwise, do you want to be bedridden tomorrow?"

Yun Si immediately became obedient and nestled quietly in his arms.

Listening to his strong heartbeat, she suddenly felt that this kind of tenderness was more touching than any other intimacy.

However.

Both of them seemed to have trouble sleeping.

When Yun Si thought of his words "Princess" and "Husband" just now, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

They finally became husband and wife in name and in fact.

She should be happy, so why does she inexplicably feel like crying?

"Qin Ye."

Yun Si called softly, "Are you asleep?"

After a long while, Qin Ye finally hummed in agreement.

Yun Si leaned closer to him and placed her hands on his waist.

Qin Ye tensed up and said in a dangerous voice, "Yun Si."

I have a question for you.

Yun Si lifted her head from his embrace, looked at him, and asked earnestly, "Back then, I treated you so badly and hurt you, why didn't you still give up on me?"

Upon hearing this question, Qin Ye's tense body slowly relaxed.

He remained silent for a long time, so long that Yun Si thought he wouldn't answer, before she heard him say in a low, emotionless voice, "Actually, I've tried."

"What have you tried?"

I tried to give up on you.

Yun Si was slightly taken aback.

I can't describe how I feel.

It felt like something had stabbed my heart; it was a dull, persistent pain.

She knew Qin Ye was serious.

So, in the month after she left the palace, he paid no attention to her. It wasn't until news of her death came that he probably realized he could never forget her.

Especially after his rebirth, Lin Shuyan took advantage of his vulnerability and came to find him right after their divorce. He almost married her.

Yun Si snuggled into his arms without a care, and said in a muffled voice, "Qin Ye, thank you for not giving up on me."

"so."

Qin Ye's voice came from above her head, his tone tense and complicated: "Is everything you're doing now to make up for me?"

Yun Si was lost in her emotions and didn't notice the subtle change in Qin Ye's tone. She softly hummed in agreement, and after a long pause, added, "It's not entirely for compensation."

Qin Ye had closed his eyes in disappointment, but upon hearing her next question, he suddenly opened them again: "Then what was it for?"

If you listen carefully, you will find a barely perceptible tremor in Qin Ye's calm tone.

What do you think?

Yun Si looked up at him again, and was caught off guard by his deep, unfathomable eyes.

There, extremely intense yet obscure emotions surged.

Yun Si smiled at him and said in a gentle voice, "For many, many reasons, but the most important one is to be happy like this moment."

Qin Ye just stared at her without saying a word.

His breathing was calm, but for some reason, I felt that he wasn't quite satisfied with the answer.

Can I ask you one more question?

"ask."

"Back then, the person who drugged me wasn't you, it was Shen Qian, right?"

Sometimes I feel you are very smart... no, extremely smart, but why were you so foolish before?

Qin Ye voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Yun Si was embarrassed.

Well, this...

She also wanted to know why she had trusted Shen Qian so much in her past life, to the point of losing herself.

You have to die once to come to your senses.

But she felt that being reborn was not simply a matter of awakening.

She often felt that her mind was indeed clearer than in her previous life.

They can think things through more clearly now.

In fact, at the beginning, she really only regarded Shen Qian as a friend and had no romantic feelings for him.

After being trapped in the cave, she had to admit that her feelings for Shen Qian had changed.

Even now, she can't forget the feeling Shen Qian gave her in the cave.

I feel very sad whenever I think about it.

But every time she faced Shen Qian and saw his face, the feeling of heartache and sadness would immediately disappear.

She thought that perhaps what she had fallen in love with was just a feeling she had during a period of uncertainty, and had little to do with Shen Qian.

Otherwise, she really couldn't explain why her feelings for Shen Qian were so polarized.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Not hearing a response from Yun Si, Qin Ye gently pushed her away, stared into her eyes, and asked, "You will always stay by my side, right, Yun Si?"
