The imperial guard withdrew, and just as it was evening, Zong Zhengli arrived.

He walked into the house with a hurried pace, even a little joyful, and the first thing he said was to ask happily:

"I heard from the people down there that you missed me?"

"?"

She asked the Imperial Guard to come up with a solution, but she didn't expect it to be such a bad idea...

She didn't comment, "Busy lately?"

Zong Zhengli entered the room, "Some."

She said calmly:

"You don't look very well. Did you not get enough rest? What is it that requires you to work so hard day and night? If you exhaust yourself, this great kingdom will be passed on to someone else."

Zong Zhengli smiled and shook his head.

She was the only one who dared to talk to him like that.

She was bold, direct, and even rude in mocking and contradicting him, but he just liked her like this.

It's been really busy lately.

After Zong Zhengchen arrived at his fiefdom in Jiangnan, he enclosed some land and proclaimed himself king. He recruited soldiers and forcibly took away half of Dongling Kingdom's territory. He is currently handling matters in this regard, and it will be difficult to come up with any results in the short term.

"After I'm done with this busy period, I'll come and accompany you every day."

Qin Ye raised his head and said, "From what you said, do you intend to lock me up here forever?"

The word "close" doesn't sound very nice.

He smiled and said, "I'll accompany you, isn't that good?"

"Would you be okay if I locked you up, so that you could never leave, couldn't talk to anyone, and were cut off from the world?"

Zong Zhengli smiled deeply, and naturally understood what she meant.

Missing him is a lie.

I really want to go out.

He walked to the seat, turned around and sat down, shook off his noble sleeves, stretched out his arms and lazily rested them on the armrests, and said to her:

"come over."

Qin Ye frowned, not knowing what he meant, but stood where he was and did not move closer.

He waited for two seconds and waved at her:

"Come here, will I eat you? If you have something to say to me, you have to hurry up and say it, otherwise I will have to go to the imperial study later and you won't have a chance to say it."

Qin Ye was silent.

That's true.

She walked forward.

When he was still three steps away, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms while she was caught off guard.

“Hmm!”

She staggered a few steps, and when she came to her senses, she supported her hands on his chest and tried to push him away.

He clasped his hands together, holding her tightly in his arms, and took advantage of the situation to free up one hand to press the back of her head and pull her into his arms.

"Um...Zong Zhengli...what are you doing..."

She struggled.

The harder she struggled, the tighter he held her, and a deep voice echoed in her ears:

"You asked me for something, shouldn't you give me something in return?"

"You can only achieve your wish if you make me happy. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

He just wanted to hug her.

Qin Ye's eyes deepened, his struggling strength gradually weakened, and he let him hold him.

After a moment, he spoke:

"I want to enter and leave Zhaoyang Palace freely."

"Okay," he agreed.

"I want to see the retired emperor." He was Prince Chen's father, the emperor who was poisoned by Zong Zhengli and suffered a stroke.

He paused, "You are pushing your luck."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ye immediately struggled, tugged at his clothes, and tried to push him away.

He quickly hugged her tightly and sighed helplessly:

"Okay, okay, see you. I'll let you see me."

After hearing this, Qin Ye gradually calmed down and stopped moving.

He hugged her and found that he particularly liked the smell of her body, which was light and very special, mixed with a hint of sweet milky scent, sweet but not greasy, like candy, and made him addicted.

He found that he had no resistance to her.

Whenever she got angry or threw a tantrum, he would be at a loss as to what to do. As long as it could make her happy, he would agree to any request.

He found that he was under her control, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that she would take advantage of it and retaliate against him.

Qin Ye, ah Qin Ye, what should I do with you?
