Rong Qingqing paused, a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Then how did you resolve it?" It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but in the dead of night, he was under the influence of that incense. Could he really remain unmoved in the face of a woman who was reasonably attractive?
If he hadn't let it slip, she would have had no idea that Hua Yin had used such despicable means.
Hua Yin, this woman, has truly refreshed my understanding time and time again.
That's absolutely shameless!
Xie Jingrun: "I originally wanted to go to see you that night, but it was too late, so I didn't."
Rong Qingqing's eyes widened, "Then use your hand..."
Xie Jingrun's handsome face flushed slightly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Rong Qingqing said dismissively, "Stop pretending. I don't believe you've never used your hands before."
Xie Jingrun: "..."
I don't understand how the topic jumped to this.
“Excessive masturbation is bad for your health, so take it easy,” Rong Qingqing said to herself, seemingly oblivious to his discomfort.
Xie Jingrun: "..."
After a long pause, he finally said, "I didn't masturbate."
Rong Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and looked at him in astonishment, "Then why did you say you didn't touch anyone else..."
"I soaked in cold water all night," Xie Jingrun said helplessly, rubbing his temples.
Rong Qingqing was stunned.
She suddenly remembered the day she returned from the imperial estate; he looked pale and sickly.
It turns out it was caused by soaking in cold water overnight?
Thinking of this, she looked embarrassed and whispered, "Then you can come find me..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun raised an eyebrow, his warm lips deliberately close to her ear, and he breathed softly, "It was too late that day, and the distance wasn't short, so I didn't go."
The tingling sensation in her ears made Rong Qingqing flinch. Just as she was about to push him away, he pulled her tightly into his arms.
Just as his kiss was about to land, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Changlin's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have arrived at the palace."
Xie Jingrun paused.
Rong Qingqing took the opportunity to push him away and got out of the carriage first.
Xie Jingrun then went out, glancing at Changlin.
Standing by the carriage, Changlin keenly sensed his master's gaze upon him.
It was eerie and chilling, making me shudder and sneeze.
He didn't mean to interrupt his master's good time. They had indeed arrived at the palace, and he couldn't just stay silent.
Now look what's happened; their master holds a grudge against them.
Changlin felt that things were really too difficult for him.
Xiao Tao had been waiting there for a while. When she saw Rong Qingqing return, she immediately went to greet her. She was about to report Hua Yin's matter, but when she saw Xie Jingrun walking beside her, she hesitated and did not dare to report it.
Rong Qingqing understood her concerns and asked, "Where is he?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao reported, "The person has been taken to the side hall, and the imperial physician has been called to bandage her. She has woken up now, but she was shouting loudly, so I had someone gag her."
"I understand," Rong Qingqing replied, then turned to Xie Jingrun and asked, "He's in the side hall. Shall we go there now?"
"Mm." Xie Jingrun nodded.
That scoundrel dares to gossip like that! He'd like to see if Hua Yin would dare to spread those rumors in front of him.
Upon arriving at the side hall, Rong Qingqing went inside first and saw Hua Yin tied to the bed with a rag stuffed in her mouth. She smiled, making no attempt to hide her joy.
As soon as Hua Yin saw her, she raised her eyes and glared at her with resentment. Unfortunately, her mouth was gagged and she couldn't make a sound. She could only stare at Rong Qingqing helplessly.
