Li Yunyan ran back to her bedchamber, a smile spreading across her face.
It's been over a month! She can finally sleep in her own bed!
Ying Huai hasn't shown her face for over a month since the last incident. During this time, every time He Beiyi comes to her place, she uses drugs to knock him out.
Ying Huai never stopped her again.
However, Li Yunyan was not idle either.
Every night, she would dress scantily and stroll around under his nose, occasionally humming a little tune or dancing a little dance, fully displaying her beauty.
On several occasions, she heard the breathing on the eaves become noticeably heavier.
He chuckled to himself.
Unlike Li Yunyan, Ying Huai could see her every day.
His Majesty's favor towards her remained undiminished. Except for the first and fifteenth of each month, he would eagerly come to Chonghua Palace after finishing his court duties every day.
Then he was drugged and knocked out.
Ying Huai was initially worried that using too much of the sleeping potion might harm His Majesty's health. However, seeing that His Majesty was refreshed every morning and in a better mood each day, he was finally relieved.
Every night, lying on the eaves, the thing he did most was to knead the two pills in his arms and then look down at her.
She is so beautiful!
It was so beautiful it dazzled his eyes.
Even though he knew he shouldn't look directly at the Emperor's favorite concubine, he just couldn't control his eyes.
He often couldn't help but think back to that night when he accidentally touched that soft waist.
This threw him into complete disarray.
He comforted himself: Anyway, no one knows, he can just secretly watch her!
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he slowly closed his eyes as well.

The next morning, another large number of gifts arrived at Chonghua Palace.
Yuan Qing arrived in person and respectfully greeted Li Yunyan: "This servant greets Your Highness, Consort Li! His Majesty investigated yesterday and found out that Your Highness had been wronged. He immediately demoted Consort Xu to the rank of Changzai and sent this servant to deliver many rewards to you early this morning."
She lowered her voice again and said, "His Majesty stayed alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night. His Majesty truly cares for Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will not hold a grudge against His Majesty."
Li Yunyan never intended to keep refusing He Beiyi; if he didn't come, Ying Huai wouldn't come either.
Her task list is still in its early stages; she needs to speed things up!
Li Yunyan smiled faintly, "Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Yuanqing. Please tell His Majesty that I am not angry with him."
Yuan Qing's smile widened, and he bowed to Li Yunyan, saying, "Consort Li is the most understanding person. His Majesty tossed and turned all night, constantly thinking of how kind Consort Li is!"
Li Yunyan nodded and had Granny Li wrap a large purse for Yuan Qing. Yuan Qing happily went back to report.
He Beiyi arrived on time that evening. Li Yunyan stood at the door, smiling gently at him.
He Beiyi's heart, which had been in turmoil, instantly melted into a puddle of water. He took Li Yunyan's hand and walked into the hall.
This time, he didn't pounce on her immediately, but instead held her tightly and took a deep breath.
After a long silence, He Beiyi finally spoke: "Yan'er, do you know how I got here today? From now on, you can never turn me away again."
Li Yunyan was surprised. This dog emperor had always been all about physical intimacy, but judging from his tone just now, could it be that he wanted to get emotionally involved now?
She would rather he just keep having sex with her, so she wouldn't feel guilty.
She didn't reply, but He Beiyi felt that she looked so sweet being held so quietly by him, and his heart softened again.
At this moment, he wanted to pile all the good things in the world in front of her, just to make her smile.
"Yan'er, what do you want? I will give you anything!" Even if you want the position of Empress.
"I want your bodyguard!" Li Yunyan muttered to herself.
She shook her head, her voice muffled in his arms, "I have everything, I don't want anything more."
He Beiyi's heart softened again. If it were any other concubine, she would have wanted to list ten or eight things to empty his private treasury!
Only her Yan'er, she was so pure and kind, asking nothing of him, yet making him want to give even more.
When love runs deep, possessiveness arises. Li Yunyan sensed his change and immediately pushed him away, but He Beiyi pulled her back with one arm, grabbed the back of her head, and pressed her down.
With a thud, He Beiyi fell to the ground, making a heavy thud.
Fortunately, all the servants had been dismissed, and no one heard him fall to the ground.
Li Yunyan curled her lips, but she couldn't be blamed for this!
It's his own fault for not following the rules and demanding things just because he stood there!
She crouched down, wanting to help He Beiyi to the bed, but he was tall and strong, and not someone as petite as her could lift him.
Li Yunyan used all her strength to move him, her forehead and nose were covered in sweat, her little face was flushed, and her hair was loose.
"Let me do it!"
A voice as pleasant as fine wine came from behind her. Li Yunyan looked up in disbelief and saw Ying Huai dressed in a black outfit.
Her eyes lit up with surprise, and she suddenly stood up and threw herself into his arms. "My lord! You've come!"
Her lunge was too forceful; the moment her small face collided with his chest, her already loose hair came undone, and her cloud-like black hair cascaded down, causing the jade hairpin that had been in her hair to fall out.
Ying Huai caught the hairpin with quick reflexes, but little did he expect that he would find a warm and soft body in his arms.
His limbs stiffened instantly, and his heart pounded like a drum. "You! What are you doing?"
Li Yunyan seemed to suddenly realize something, quickly left his embrace, and turned her back to him.
Her uneasy voice stammered, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure for a moment and didn't react in time! Please don't take it to heart, sir!"
Losing composure?
Why did he lose his composure?
Does losing your temper mean you have to hug someone?
Ying Huai was completely flustered and dared not think too deeply about the meaning of those words. He didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
He stared blankly at her stunningly beautiful back; she had her head down with her back to him, lost in thought.
After a long while, Ying Huai finally remembered that His Majesty was still lying on the ground, so he went over and carried him to the bed and put him down.
At that moment, Li Yunyan turned around and was only a fist's distance away from him.
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with a strange courage.
"My lord, are you... leaving again?"
Her voice was filled with reluctance, as if not seeing him was a very sad thing.
He gave a soft "hmm".
When will you come again next time?
Ying Huai wanted to say that he had always been by her side, watching over her every day.
But he couldn't say anything.
Li Yunyan kept twisting the hem of her dress with both hands, wrinkling the luxurious fabric, but she was completely unaware of it.
After a long while, as if she had made a decision, she took another step closer to him.
Ying Huai put his hands behind his back, trying to avoid looking into her shimmering eyes.
The next moment, he felt her climb up his neck and gently pull him.
"Hmm!"
