Xinglan took out a piece of candy from her pocket and smiled, "Sister is truly kind. If you really don't want to kill him, then I won't force you. Here, have this. It will make you feel better."
Qing'er's intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with this thing, but at this moment his eyes were staring straight at her, and if she hesitated, it might ruin the plan.
Fortunately, Xiao Yanzi had given her something to protect herself yesterday. This time it was an upgraded version of the pills. No matter what the Xinglan thing was for, she wasn't afraid.
Even if things go wrong, Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi have already sent people to guard her in Cining Palace. If something really happens, she won't be taken away silently like she was outside the palace.
Qing'er feigned surprise and said, "You really want to give it to me?"
Xinglan nodded, "I'll do anything to make my sister happy."
After Qing'er happily ate the candy, Xinglan pushed her into the room and closed the door.
He turned around, picked up Qing'er, and placed her on the bed. Qing'er looked at him with slight fear, "What are you doing?"
Xinglan smiled and kept moving closer, forcing Qing'er back against the wall, until he stopped just a hair's breadth away from her lips.
He saw Qing'er's cheeks turn red, smiled indulgently, sat on Qing'er's bed, picked her up and put her on his lap. He put his left arm around Qing'er's waist, and gently touched Qing'er's lips with his right hand, stroking them with his thumb for a while, as if kissing her.
Qing'er felt a deep sense of disgust, but at this moment, Xinglan clearly had something important to say, so she had to play hard to get.
Qing'er pretended to push him away, avoiding Xinglan's gaze, "What are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other. This is improper..."
Xinglan wasn't angry. Seeing Qing'er push him away like that, his interest only grew. He grabbed Qing'er and pulled her back into his arms. "Sister, I remember you and that guy surnamed Xiao weren't like this before..."
“I once accidentally saw him put his hand inside your clothes, sister. If someone like him gets this kind of treatment, what about me? I’ve always been by your side, helping and protecting you in every way. Am I not as good as him?”
Hearing these words, Qing'er felt a little scared. "If you were different from him, you wouldn't treat me like this!"
Then, she began to take off her clothes, saying to herself, "If you only want my body, then take it; I can't resist anyway. But if you want my body and my heart, then you..."
Seeing that Qing'er was about to take off her inner garment, Xinglan smiled and put her clothes back on. "Sister is right. I was just being impatient. I'll listen to you."
After helping Qing'er put on her clothes, he laid her down, looked down at her, and said, "Although we can't be in such a hurry, there are at least some benefits. If you don't say anything, I'll have to come and get it myself."
Qing'er was still thinking about how to refuse his advances when she suddenly heard him whisper in her ear, "Sister, listen carefully. Xiao Jian is despicable and shameless. He took your body but is unwilling to take responsibility for you. He even slandered you as promiscuous. You hate him to the core. So, you will kill him in public at your wedding to avenge yourself."
Qing'er then realized that this was the effect of the candy that the man in front of her had just fed her.
Controlling herself to attack Xiao Jian on her wedding day—what a ruthless scheme!
Her eyes gradually became glazed over, and she pretended to go from being conscious to being controlled, "Killing Xiao Jian, Killing Xiao Jian..."
Seeing the change in Qing'er's condition, Xinglan naturally believed that Qing'er was now under his control. Fortunately, he knew he couldn't stay in Qing'er's room for too long, so he left after a short while.
Qing'er watched his departing figure and then breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death."
This acting must be exhausting! Having to deal with a terrorist like this, "Xiao Jian, you just wait!"
After staying on the bed for a while, Qing'er felt that she still needed to ask Xiao Yanzi for something to protect herself, lest she fall for his tricks one day.
This person doesn't seem interested in her now, but who knows what will happen in the future? What if he takes the opportunity of trying to build a relationship with her to make advances? How will she cope with that?
Even if she's offered a reward, she can't sacrifice herself!
Because she had fallen out with Xiao Jian, she and Xiao Yanzi were no longer good friends, so she couldn't openly go to see her. She had no choice but to go to the Imperial Kitchen and ask someone to help deliver the message.
Xiao Yanzi said that if they could drug Qing'er, then Qing'er could drug them too.
Since they had the ability to give Qing'er the kind of drug that made her think she had already consummated her marriage with her sweetheart, they could give Xinglan the same drug as well.
As for the marks on the body, they can be faked.
So, Qing'er received a good thing that Xiao Yanzi had prepared for her, instructing her to slip some medicine to Xinglan when he tried to get close to her, so that Qing'er would be safe. (Take the antidote beforehand.)
After behaving himself for about ten days, Xinglan lost all desire to live.
Although he had regained his memory and senses, he had to admit that during his time with Qing'er, he had indeed harbored thoughts he shouldn't have. "She is the daughter of my father's killer, yet I've fallen for her. If my father knew, he'd probably be so angry he'd crawl out of the ground and beat me to death..."
Because of this melancholy, he drank more wine and became drunk. A palace maid saw this and went to inform Qing'er.
Upon receiving the message, Qing'er left for Xinglan's room, where she happened to see several wine bottles on the floor. "What are you doing? Why are you drinking for no reason?"
When Xinglan heard her voice, he thought it was a hallucination and ignored her. He got up and closed the door, intending to continue drinking. Perhaps this was his only time to indulge himself.
Seeing him close the door, Qing'er felt a bit uneasy and immediately wanted to go out and find someone to help him sober up.
However, Xinglan approached her and asked, "Why are you here? Did you come to check on me?"
Xinglan reached out to touch her face, but she dodged him. "You're drunk. I'll have someone make you some hangover soup."
She turned to leave, but Xinglan hugged her from behind, "Don't go!"
He leaned close to Qing'er's ear and whispered, "Whether you're hallucinating today or it's real, I'm determined to have you."
After saying that, he reached out to unbutton Qing'er's clothes. Qing'er was so frightened that she quickly broke free and knocked him to the ground. The man seemed to come to his senses a little more. "I forgot, you know martial arts, don't you?"
"So what? Your martial arts are no match for me!" Xinglan, who had been knocked to the ground, stood up again. "Come on, you can't escape."
This time, Xinglan seemed to be serious. With a "rip," Qing'er's outer garment was torn open.
"If you still want to fight, I can play along, but in that case, you might not have the strength later."
Qing'er pondered to herself, perhaps this was the time when the things Xiao Yanzi had prepared for her would come in handy.
She stopped what she was doing. "Since you've said that, then I won't fight anymore..."
As she approached Xinglan, she had already released the medicine. The upgraded medicine took effect when Qing'er was still two or three steps away from Xinglan.
"Qing'er, I love you..." Qing'er watched helplessly as the person who had just been flirting with her started taking off his clothes, as if there were still people in front of him. Qing'er turned and left while he was taking off his clothes.
