It was almost noon when Yu Qianqian was still fast asleep in bed. Not long after, Mu Beichen rushed off to Fengyi Palace.
He had barely stepped inside when the imperial physicians were already waiting at the palace gate. Without hesitation, they walked straight to the bed in the room, as everyone present knelt down to pay their respects.
Approaching the bedside, Mu Beichen looked at the pale-faced woman before him and immediately frowned anxiously. A mix of emotions surged in his heart like waves. He never imagined that Yu Qianqian would suddenly become so seriously ill.
It had only been a few days since I last saw her, but this little woman had completely changed. Her already petite figure had become even thinner after this illness. If you didn't look closely, you would definitely mistake the person under the quilt for a rag doll.
"Qianqian, little Qian'er..." He called out to Yu Qianqian several times, but received no response. His heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
Leaning closer, Mu Beichen carefully held her jade-like soft hand in his palm, his thin lips following closely behind, gently sending warm breaths into her mouth.
Her hands were cold, lacking any normal body temperature, as if the woman would instantly become a corpse if he loosened his grip even slightly.
Mu Beichen lowered his head and looked closely at her face. Her face was deathly pale, as white as a sheet of paper. Her breath was also weak and intermittent. Unconsciously, the more he looked at her, the more anxious she seemed.
"Imperial Physician, how is the Empress's condition? Is she alright?"
The imperial physician outside the tent quickly responded, "Your Majesty, it seems that Her Majesty's symptoms indicate that she was recently poisoned with a Gu poison, and the combination of stress and anxiety has caused the Gu poison to take effect prematurely."
Anger surged through my heart...
Mu Beichen pondered the imperial physician's words, his face darkening involuntarily. If this was the case, Yu Qianqian's illness was very likely caused by the stimulation from the selection of concubines and the matter of serving the emperor.
Thinking of this, Mu Beichen paused slightly, then suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Is there any way to expel the poison from the Empress at present?"
"Your Majesty..." The imperial physicians' expressions changed abruptly. They cautiously looked up at Mu Beichen's anxious face, hesitated for a moment, and then stammered, "The only effective way to expel the Empress's poison is to harmonize Yin and Yang and engage in... sexual intercourse."
The imperial physician's words were not difficult to understand. Any normal adult would understand the implied meaning behind them.
Mu Beichen's expression changed instantly, and an extremely abnormal blush slowly appeared on his handsome face. Although he was a respectable man, even if he was having intimate relations with his woman, it was not something shameful.
However, he felt somewhat embarrassed now that someone had brought it up.
Turning his back to the imperial physician, Mu Beichen waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, there's nothing more for you to do here. You may all leave."
As soon as these words were spoken, people dared not linger for a moment, responding with "Yes," and then unanimously withdrew from the hall.
Once everyone had gone far away, he turned his gaze slightly toward the bed, then tiptoed to the center of the bed, close to Yu Qianqian, and let her lean against him. He stroked her from the ends of her hair to her shoulders and neck, his movements skillful and extremely gentle, as if afraid that he might accidentally hurt the little person in his arms.
Looking at her so closely, Mu Beichen's handsome face unconsciously flushed red, revealing a rare shy expression. No one knew that in all his years, he had only had a few intimate encounters with Yu Qianqian, and apart from that, he had never tried to have close contact with any woman of the opposite sex.
Moreover, he felt that his real intimate contact with Yu Qianqian was something from the last century. He hadn't even done anything to her yet, but he was already feeling like a thief who couldn't be seen by others.
However, no matter how much Mu Beichen tried to persuade himself not to be so cowardly, he always felt an unusual sense of urgency whenever he faced a unique and beautiful woman like Yu Qianqian.
He gently held her, his body remaining perfectly still, yet his gaze was uncontrollably fixed on the person in his arms. Her skin, inch by inch, was illuminated by the dim light, appearing as white as jade. Even in her sleep, her delicate features remained like those of a porcelain doll—beautiful, almost unreal.
He simply couldn't resist such an extreme temptation, and his chest instantly felt as hot as boiling water.
Outside, the palace was tightly locked; inside, incense-scented curtains hung lightly.
Sunlight pierced through the layers of shadows, and in an instant, it filled the room with radiance. It was as if the gauze curtains were gradually falling down, and a pair of figures slowly closed up and embraced, before falling down together!
Mu Beichen held her shoulders with his hands and gently placed her on his lap to lie down. He gradually leaned down and fell close to her.
In an instant, their bodies embraced, their hearts collided, and streams of warm air, mixed with a unique fragrance, continuously surged from within her, inch by inch, deeply seeping into her bones and blood.
"flourishing……"
The man looked down at the person who was lazily sleeping in his arms, thinking about some extremely embarrassing things. His face turned red involuntarily. Although he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, his beloved was right in front of him, and he had lost his composure at this critical moment!
However, he no longer has time to delay any longer. If his condition is allowed to worsen, he will only face death!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He looked down at Le Yuqianqian and kissed her soft lips with tenderness and affection. He felt her cold aura and her slender body trembling slightly in his arms.
With a flick of her wrist, she gently brushed aside the gold and jade hairpin, and her waist-length hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Layers of her snow-white clothes fell away, gradually revealing her fragrant shoulders, which were then gently grasped by a force...
A wave of intensely hot heat swirled around them and slowly dissipated, filling the room through the bed curtains!
He slightly raised his eyes, looking directly at the beautiful woman before him, his gaze growing increasingly dreamy. He reached out and hooked his arm around her neck, offering her tender kisses.
Suddenly, his body pressed close, and he whispered in her ear, "Little Qianqian... I love you, and you are the only one for me in this life. Don't hate me..."
Even if she doesn't know or want to, he's willing to make a ridiculous mistake. This time, it's not just to detoxify her, but also to fulfill his burning love for her.
To come into this world once, to be devoted to one person for a lifetime without regard for the consequences, is enough.
